I have been wondering for a while if these countries that are pissed off about our NSA problem would turn on us. Now they are starting to ask the UN to do something about it. Just thinking out loud, but what if the UN decides it needs to physically do something about our “gun problem” and our NSA problem? We would then have to fight them and after that fight we would have to deal with our own government. There are a lot of possibilities that could play out if this happens. Might want to keep an eye on this one.   Continue reading “Germany, Brazil Turn to U.N. to Restrain American Spies”

The Daily Caller – by Alex Pappas

A veteran Washington D.C. investigative journalist says the Department of Homeland Security confiscated a stack of her confidential files during a raid of her home in August — leading her to fear that a number of her sources inside the federal government have now been exposed.

In an interview with The Daily Caller, journalist Audrey Hudson revealed that the Department of Homeland Security and Maryland State Police were involved in a predawn raid of her Shady Side, Md. home on Aug. 6. Hudson is a former Washington Times reporter and current freelance reporter.   Continue reading “Feds confiscate investigative reporter’s confidential files during raid”

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez Kirchner spoke last month at the United Nations. That country's gun surrender program will be discussed at a Thursday event.Examiner – by Dave Workman

One month after Secretary of State John Kerry signed the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty and just a few days after 50 U.S. senators said they will not ratify the agreement, a curious “high level panel” on Argentina’s national program for the voluntary surrender of firearms is scheduled this Thursday in a U.N. conference room in New York, Examiner learned today.

Apparently hosted by Ambassador Maria Cristina Perceval, permanent representative of Argentina to the U.N., according to the invitation obtained by this column, the gathering was described as a “side event” scheduled during the daily lunch break, from 1:15 to 2:30 p.m.   Continue reading “Thursday at U.N.: Panel on voluntary surrender of firearms”

Dead BodyMilitia News – by Chris Carrington

I am not talking about the mass of corpses lying in the street, though that will be a concern. I am talking about the death of a family member or one of your survival group.

The World Health Organization has an article about general body disposal in an emergency. It discusses the emergency teams that will comb neighborhoods, the specialists who will deal with the bodies and yet more specialists that will deal with the mental trauma that is caused by viewing such things.   Continue reading “How To Deal With Body Disposal During A Societal Collapse”

The establishment specializes in the old fashion bait-and-switch. It knows the people are sick and tired of government as usual and they want change. Obama was billed as Mr. Hope and Change. But once installed in the White House, he immediately continued and expanded the Bush agenda, that is to say the agenda of the political establishment. Barry, like his predecessor, is little more than a frontispiece, a teleprompter reader for the elite.

Now that we’re fed up with Obama, it is time for the next round of phony change. That change will likely be represented by reformulated Tea Party Republicans Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.   Continue reading “Ted Cruz’s Wife is a Goldman Sachs VP”

Well well lookie what the cat dragged in.

That’s a link to the unsubsidized data dump — all 78,437 records — for each county and State under the Obamacare exchange program.  I can verify that for at least my state and county the table is correct, since you can now look it up on Healthcare.gov without creating an account first (which I am not about to do.)   Continue reading “How Badly Will ObamaCare Screw You?

In 1968 Director of Central Intelligence Richard Helms wrote urgently to Attorney General Ramsey Clark and President Lyndon B. Johnson that some highly enriched uranium fueling Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor was stolen from America.  LBJ reportedly uttered, “Don’t tell anyone else, even [Secretary of State] Dean Rusk and [Defense Secretary] Robert McNamara.”  The FBI immediately launched a deep investigation into the inexplicably heavy losses at the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation NUMEC in Pennsylvania and the highly suspicious activities and Israeli connections of the Americans running it.    Continue reading “Ten Explosive U.S. Government Secrets about Israel”

Hundreds of thousands of Americans who purchase their own health insurance have received cancellation notices since August because the plans do not meet Obamacare’s requirements.

The number of cancellation notices greatly exceed the number of Obamacare enrollees.

Insurance carrier Florida Blue sent out 300,000 cancellation notices, or 80 percent of the entire state’s individual coverage policies, Kaiser Health News reports. California’s Kaiser Permanente canceled 160,000 plans — half of its insurance plans in the state — while Blue Shield of California sent 119,000 notices in mid-September alone.   Continue reading “Health insurance cancellation notices soar above Obamacare enrollment rates”

The average cost of each U.S. troop in Afghanistan will nearly double in the last year of the war to $2.1 million, according to a new analysis of the Pentagon’s budget.

For the past five years, from fiscal 2008 through 2013, the average troop cost had held steady at roughly $1.3. million. But the Pentagon’s 2014 war budget would dramatically increase that figure. The added cost, argue Defense Department officials, is a reflection of the price of sending troops and equipment back home in the drawdown.   Continue reading “Each U.S. Troop In Afghanistan Now Costs $2.1 Million”

An extensive new research report explains how the Koch brothers’ business operation and their political operation are actually mutually reinforcing sides of one single operation. The report, by the International Forum on Globalization, an anti-globalization think tank, finds:

Page 2: The Kochs own 2 million acres in Alberta’s tar sands land (in addition to their 25% ownership of the XL if it gets built) and would therefore increase their net worth by around $100 billion if the XL gets built (which would make the world’s dirtiest oil cost-competitive to sell).  Continue reading “Keystone XL Pipeline Would Double the Kochs’ Net Worth, Says New Report”

Gun Grabbers Gabrielle Giffords and Mark KellyAmmoLand – by AWR Hawkins

Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)-  In their non-stop push for more gun control, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly have presented Congress with a letter referencing “16 more mass shootings” since the heinous crime at Sandy Hook Elementary on December 14, 2012.

They do not list the supposed 16 mass shootings in their letter, which was published online by Politico, but they do mention the Tucson shooting from January 2011, the Aurora movie theater shooting from July 2012, and the Sikh Temple attack in August 2012. All three of these crimes occurred well before, not after, the shooting at Sandy Hook.   Continue reading “Giffords, Kelly Claim ’16 More Mass Shootings’ Since Sandy Hook – Did We Miss Something?”
