It is time to bust the myths Sabet has been perpetuating.

Kevin Abraham Sabet-Sharghi, Ph.D., aka Kevin Sabet, has been a headline-grabbing right-winger ever since his U.C. Berkeley days—where he did not study science or medicine despite his current appointment as an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Florida. His most recent incarnation as a co-founder of Project SAM (Smart Approaches to Marijuana) follows a stint in the Obama White House on its drug policy staff from 2009-2011. His personal website claims he is the “quarterback” of a new anti-drug movement, boasting that he’s been“quoted in over 15,000 news stories.”   Continue reading “5 Biggest Lies from Anti-Pot Propagandist Kevin Sabet”

Ethel Barrymore (1879-1959) was perhaps the most accomplished actress of her generation. It was Ms. Barrymore who said, “You grow up the day you have the first real laugh – at yourself.”

Do you remember your first real laugh at yourself? Mine came when I was about thirty years old.

Anyway, my maturing came after reading Gary Allen’s, None Dare Call It Conspiracy, and finally realizing there was no substantial difference, in practice, between the Democratic and Republican political parties.   Continue reading “When Was Your First Chuckle … At Yourself?”

So, no one supports your cause? No problem. You can hire supporters- even protesters. A company started last October by 22-year-old Adam Swart provides just this service.  In a telephone interview I spoke with Swart about his new found success. “I came up with the idea on a visit to Estonia,” says Swart. At the airport, Swart says he saw a man who was being swarmed by a crowd of excited onlookers. He tells me, “I thought- Why can’t I have that kind of attention?” And so, Swart’s company, Crowds on Demand, was born.   Continue reading “New Company Allows Organizations To Hire Fake Protesters”

National Report -by Chase Logan

Residents of Eureka, California are reporting of multiple arrests this evening during the wildly successful “Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment” campaign (a campaign in which literally 10s of people have participated by waving signs on highway overpasses promoting the impeachment of President Obama).

Early reports indicate that protesters were verbally and physically abused prior to being arrested.  All 6 protesters taking part in the rally are currently in police custody.  County and city officials in the area have not yet released a statement on the event or the names of those arrested.  Communications have been difficult and local media outlets are scrambling for more details.   Continue reading “Multiple Arrests Reported In California Town Following “Impeach Obama” Rally”

How is it that the government can charge Edward Snowden with espionage for telling a journalist that the feds have been spying on all Americans and many of our allies, but the NSA itself, in a public relations campaign intended to win support for its lawlessness, can reveal secrets and do so with impunity? That question goes to the heart of the rule of law in a free society.   Continue reading “Domestic Spying Is Dangerous to Freedom”

The Last Resistance – by Frank Camp

H. G. Wells said:

“The New Deal is plainly an attempt to achieve a working socialism and avert a social collapse in America; it is extraordinarily parallel to the successive ‘policies’ and ‘Plans’ of the Russian experiment. Americans shirk the word ‘socialism’, but what else can one call it?”

In all we try to do, we do it for the betterment of ourselves. We are selfish creatures. We create systems that cater to our own needs, and we care little for the rest of mankind. That is human nature. Interestingly enough, human nature can be overcome. Charity and benefaction are ways by which we help each other.   Continue reading “Obamacare Is Collapsing: We Have The Power To Destroy It”

WEB Notes: This plant is in utter melt down. The only way to “contain” it is by continuing to pour water over the reactors. If mankind knew there was no way to control it once it breaks containment then we had no business playing with nuclear power to begin with. 

(RT) – Fukushima is a nightmare disaster area, and no one has the slightest idea what to do. The game is to prevent the crippled nuclear plant from turning into an “open-air super reactor spectacular” which would result in a hazardous, melted catastrophe.   Continue reading “Pump and Pray: Tepco Might Have to Pour Water on Fukushima Wreckage Forever”

President Barack Obama hosted Apple CEO Tim Cook, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, Google computer scientist Vint Cerf and other tech executives and civil liberties leaders on Thursday for a closed-door meeting about government surveillance, sources tell POLITICO.

The session, which Obama attended himself, followed a similar gathering earlier this week between top administration officials, tech-industry lobbyists and leading privacy hawks, the sources said. Those earlier, off-the-record discussions centered on the controversy surrounding the NSA as well as commercial privacy issues such as online tracking of consumers.   Continue reading “Apple’s Tim Cook, tech executives meet with Barack Obama to talk surveillance”

The New American – by William F. Jasper

America is staring at a fast-approaching energy disaster that needn’t happen. The recent discovery and development of vast deposits of oil and natural gas, now recoverable with new technologies, have provided the U.S. economy with a much-needed boost over the past several years. These new energy sources also offer promise of increasing America’s competitive advantage by drastically lowering energy costs and reducing American dependence on foreign oil. This is of critical importance to luring manufacturing and industry back to the United States.   Continue reading “Obama EPA War on Coal to Shut 200+ Coal-Fired Plants, Devastate Economy”

Employees for the government sometimes are required to inform the agency about relationships with foreign people, allegedly to confirm that the person is not a threat to ‘national security’. Apparently, one of Obama’s bodyguards, Rafael Prieto, had an affair, and killed himself for some reason while under investigation. His secret was revealed by other agents during their investigation for another sex scandal.   Continue reading “Obama Bodyguard Found Dead After Having an Affair With a Foreign National”
