WASHINGTON, D.C. — Certain states are considering legislation that would criminalize helping the National Security Agency, but ironically, none other than the U.S. Constitution might put a stop to that.

Two days before President Obama was scheduled to announce reforms to NSA’s collection activities, lawmakers in Washington state last week joined the growing chorus of state legislators across the country looking to rein in the agency’s powers with whatever legal tools were at their disposal.   Continue reading “U.S. Constitution could keep state officials from going to jail for helping NSA”

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The Democratic mayor of a town severely flooded by Superstorm Sandy said Sunday that she was told an ultimatum tying recovery funds to her support for a prime real estate project came directly from Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a claim a Christie spokesman called “categorically false.”

Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer said she met with federal prosecutors in Newark for several hours Sunday at their request and turned over a journal and other documents.   Continue reading “New Jersey Mayor Dawn Zimmer Meets With Federal Investigators Over Claim Against Chris Christie”

Don’t mistake that sad face as an American Patriot – that is the face of a man who has turned against his Country. No real tears folks – he’s laughing all the way to the back while we’re trying to hold down two part jobs and put food on our tables.

Over 100 million American workers are on John Boenher’s hit list – that seems to be a very rash statement. John Boehner, Cantor Ryan and Goodlatte have placed the amnesty issue on the front burner – that’s reality.    Continue reading “100 Million Americans on J. Boehner’s Hit List”

It’s not a stretch to suggest that Americans are over medicated. In 2011 doctors across the nation wrote an astounding four billion medical prescriptions, amounting to an average of 13 prescriptions for every  man, woman and child in the United States.

In the next few weeks the American Psychiatric Associations is releasing their updated fifth version their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5); the so-called ‘bible’ of psychiatric diagnoses. The new manual promises to take mental illness and the use of prescription drugs to a whole new level.   Continue reading “YOU ARE CRAZY: New Psychiatric Guidelines Target Hoarding, Child Temper Tantrums, and a Host of Other “Illnesses””

Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. As a long and violent abuse of power, is generally the Means of calling the right of it in question (and in Matters too which might never have been thought of, had not the Sufferers been aggravated into the inquiry) and as the King of England hath undertaken in his OWN RIGHT, to support the Parliament in what he calls THEIRS, and as the good people of this country are grievously oppressed by the combination, they have an undoubted privilege to inquire into the pretensions of both, and equally to reject the usurpation of either.

Catapults. “Jalapeños”. Dune buggies. $1 million subs. Sophisticated drug tunnels. Firetruck-sized industrial pipeline drills. These are just a few of the ingenious ways that Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, arguably the world’s largest, most powerful and technologically advanced organized crime syndicate, has tried to perfect the fine art of smuggling drugs into America. And to think, the US’s premier drug enforcement arm gave the Sinaloa a pass to do so largely unhindered during the bloodiest stretch of Mexico’s drug war.    Continue reading “Why the DEA Let the World’s Tech-Savviest Drug Cartel Do As It Pleased for 12 Years”

On December 14, 2013, communist Red China put a robotic lander on the moon in an outward display of that communist country’s capture and utilization of technologies developed via the brain trust of the United States.  Mark Koernke at that time pointed out that which should have been obvious to every thinking American.

Where once the United States was a great power, respected and admired by the peoples of the world for our advanced technologies developed via our systems of free thought and free enterprise, we have now morphed into a totalitarian military dictatorship, oppressed by an illegitimate government that uses every new technology to further the oppression and control to the point of removing any notion of privacy, even to the extent of our private thoughts.   Continue reading “New Reservation System for Federal and State Lands”

So what are Americans debating today?  Well if you find yourselves submerged in the false reality of the mainstream propaganda, there are a few.

First, who should retain the spy data being compiled through the total surveillance mechanism known as the NSA?  Last week, the infiltrator Barry Soetoro announced reforms to the NSA and this week we will all be debating the pros and cons, at least the communists will be debating among themselves.

The fact is the very existence of the NSA represents a running violation of the people’s Bill of Rights.  Our national security, in accordance with our founding documents, rests with we the people, as self governing individuals.  Nowhere in our original Constitution did we the people grant our servants the authority to legislate policies to govern our day to day activities, nor the authority to create government police agencies to enforce these unconstitutional dictates.   Continue reading “Is the Takeover of the United States Now Considered Permissible Because the Communists are Admitting to It?”

The U.S. Supreme Court is delving into the technology-versus-privacy debate, agreeing to hear two cases that test whether police making an arrest may search cellphones without a warrant.

The court’s announcement Friday that it would take the cases came just hours after President Obama outlined his proposals to address government retention of citizen phone data as part of his speech outlining reforms at the National Security Agency.   Continue reading “Supreme Court To Decide If Warrant Needed To Search Cellphone”

Some follow-up on Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania Mayor James Schiliro, the member of Michael Bloomberg’s anti–Second Amendment outfit “Mayors Against Illegal Guns,” who was busted after demanding homosexual favors at gunpoint:

Schiliro was sentenced to 10 to 20 months for an alcohol-fueled episode last February in which he had a police car bring a former neighbor – a 20-year-old to whom he said he was attracted – to his home, made him drink wine, and refused to let him leave for 3 1/2 hours.   Continue reading “Mayor Against Guns James Schiliro Sentenced to 20 Months After Illegally Discharging Firearm”

Trust in governments fell, making them the world’s least-trusted institutions for a third year, according to a survey published before policy makers and executives gather for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Faith in governments fell to 44 percent from 48 percent in 2013, according to the 2014 Trust Barometer survey published by Edelman, a public-relations firm. Trust in business held steady at about 58 percent, bringing its lead over government to the widest in the 14 years the poll has been taken.   Continue reading “Trust in Governments Slides to Record Low Amid U.S. Spy Programs”

Earlier this year, Texas state brought several SWAT teams to the quiet and peaceful Garden of Eden Community and threatened its existence. In what appears to be an intimidation tactic, only a single arrest was made based on unrelated outstanding traffic violations, and a handful of citations were given for city code violations. Absolutely no drug related violations were found and all inhabitants of the community were unarmed.   Continue reading “SWAT Teams Raid Sustainable Community”

Predictably, President Obama has done nothing significant to diminish the National Security State. He presided over its expansion. Why should he want to undo it?

It’s a big mistake, however, in understanding the National Security State (NSS) and what to do about it to focus on Obama. The issue concerning the NSS is much deeper than one man, one president and a few terms of office.   Continue reading “Dangerous Organizations of the National Security State”
