You may be better off not reading this if you’re one of the millions of Americans traveling this holiday season. However, one safety expert is desperate for you to know: Airport security in the U.S. is basically a sham.

Challenges, a transportation consulting firm based in Israel. “It does nothing for security. It’s just a show.”   Continue reading “U.S. Airport Security Is ‘Just A Show,’ Expert Says”

By now, most everyone who is reading this is well aware of the insidious nature of the UN directed Agenda 21.  If you need a refresher, click here.  Much of the natural resources located within the United States are contained in areas that would be considered rural.  Is it for this reason that one of the prescriptions of Agenda 21 is to herd us into compact cities?  The elite couldn’t possibly want us out of Rural America so that they can have all of the resources to themselves… could they?  You can make up your own mind on that one.   Continue reading “Agenda 21 Has Rural America in the Crosshairs”

In considering that these united States of the Americas represent a Republic with an emphasis on the rights of the individual, the very idea of uniting becomes a difficult concept to move forward with, as any collectivism for the purpose of forced change is repugnant to the ideals of independent freedoms and liberties.

Our socialist enemies have infiltrated our country and seek to divide us in applying collectivism.  Race based groups, gender based groups, religious based groups, and age based groups are putting forth the notion that an individual can gain power by joining with other individuals and creating a collective will.  However, if you are an American national of the American race who asserts as absolute your rights under the people’s Bill of Rights, no collective can trump your individual will as no person or collection of any size thereof has superior rights to any one individual.   Continue reading “The Standard for an American National Patriot”
