The U.S. Supreme Court turned back an effort Monday to challenge a ruling by the secret federal surveillance court requiring Verizon to turn over data on millions of Americans to the government. The decision not to hear the unusual motion by privacy advocates forecloses what may have been one of the only avenues for challenging a ruling by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.   Continue reading “Justices Decline To Review Secret Surveillance Court’s Order For Americans’ Phone Data”

A Louisiana sinkhole that has sucked in trees and swamps as it spread to the size of 20 football fields is now at risk of exploding.

Residents of Bayou Corne were evacuated a year ago when the sinkhole, which is emitting natural gases, opened up.

The gas exploration company that has been blamed for causing the problem after a mine collapsed, has resorted to digging relief wells to try to disperse the gas.   Continue reading “Sinkhole the size of 20 football pitches opens up in Louisiana … and it could burst into flames”

A protest in South Carolina is adding fuel to the fire in the opposition to the controversial Common Core State Standards, as local parents plan to keep their children out of school Monday to rally at the South Carolina Department of Education.

The organization South Carolina Parents Involved in Education dubbed the protest “National Don’t Send Your Child to School Day,” to coincide with the beginning of National Education Week and seeks to start a “revolution in opposition of the Common Core Standards”, according to the group’s website. But the organizers are urging parents across the country to keep their children out of school in protest of the standards, which some see as a federal overreach into state educational policies. A Facebook event for the national protest lists more than 6,000 participants.   Continue reading “South Carolina Parents Remove Children From School to Protest Common Core”

By now the world is well aware of Typhoon Haiyan and its devastations on the Philippine Islands. It is beyond a nightmare.

Many nations are sending mega-tons of supplies to the ravaged people, nations like the United States, Israel, and this does not include the military aid sent by Britain, Australia, the U.S. and others, to control the uncontrolled “human” disasters on the islands (including those caused by Muslims there). Chaos rules now, indeed.   Continue reading “The Philippines: A Cultural Sink-hole”

This past week I found myself in the city of Eugene, Oregon, taking care of some personal business, when a chance encounter occurred, which truly brought the magnitude of our current situation front and center.  We had lunch at an Arby’s restaurant and as we were leaving, I saw a lady standing on the sidewalk.  She had two cloth bags with what appeared to be her clothes, hastily packed therein.  She looked confused and this caught my notice.

In the city of Eugene, you will see countless homeless people, carrying signs and pan handling.  For some it has become a way of life, but the lady I encountered was different.  She was obviously brand new to the streets.  I asked my wife, is she homeless?  To which she replied, I think so.  She was not asking for money from anyone.  She was just standing there, scared, cold, and hungry.  She knew the food and warmth were right there and she was desperately in need of both.  But that was apparently as close as she could get.   Continue reading “Facing the Homeless in America”

King Benjamin Netanyahu has stepped up front and center in the Zion controlled US media to attack the US-Iranian peace process, declaring that any future not involving the conquest of the entire Middle East for Zion to be unacceptable.  Israel is a nuclear state who established its foothold in the Middle East through open invasion and military conquest.  They have committed genocide upon the Palestinians and left those once prosperous people to suffer slow deaths in what is the largest concentration camp to ever exist on this planet.

The Zionist Israelis do not wish to coexist, but rather to reign over not only their neighbors in the Middle East, but indeed all the other peoples of the world, whom they identify as goyim (soulless animals).  The Israelis blatantly put forth lie after lie in their never ending quest to manipulate the goyim into killing one another.  As they capture the wealth, the Israelis continue to portray themselves as victims as they murder, rape, and steal through their proxies around the world.   Continue reading “Israel – In Defiance of Peace”

The absolute distraction the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has become is undeniable.  The very idea of socialized healthcare is unconstitutional on its face.  The fact that the international insurance industry created the unconstitutional legislation and has seen their profits double, triple, and quadruple since the enactment thereof is proof positive as to the true intent of the legislation.

Obamacare was designed to provide healthcare subsidies to the third world populations being pumped into the United States for the sole purpose of displacing and seizing the property of American nationals and, since its enactment, the treasonous legislation has been honed through exemptions to the point that nothing is left except the largest tax to be levied upon the middle class since the socialist New Deal that was forced on the American people by the international communist Franklin Delano Roosenfelt.    Continue reading “American Nationals Must Stem the Status Quo to Avert One World Slavery”
