On October 26, 2001 the Patriot Act (an injunction on the people’s 4^th Article for the u. S. Bill of Rights) was declared as an open act of insurrection as the government has never had any authority to define, alter, or regulate the people’s God given rights.

On December 31, 2012, just before midnight, the National Defense Authorization Act with Sections 1021 and 1022 for the military arrest and indefinite detention of American nationals without any due process of the law was signed as an act of open sedition against we the people and our Republic.   Continue reading “American Nationals Can No Longer Hide behind Ignorance and Stupidity”

It’s hard to know where to start with this man – we’ve marveled at his fearless, albeit, epic failure in pitching a war in Syria this past August, September. We thought, ‘can Kerry ever upstage himself’ after that debacle?

 This past weekend, US forces did a raid in Tripoli to nab suspected senior Al-Qaeda leader, Nazih Abdul-Hamed Ruqai, aka Abu Anas el-Liby, for his alleged role in the 1998 US Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.    Continue reading “The Idiot Savant Speaks: Kerry insists latest US raid in Libya is ‘legal’, and will ‘do it again’”

CLEVELAND, Ohio – A new NFL policy will keep off-duty cops from taking guns into FirstEnergy Stadium, according to an internal Cleveland police memo.

The rule, which police said took effect Sept. 11, applies to all NFL facilities and all off-duty federal, state and local law enforcement officers.

Off-duty officers who attempt to bring firearms into an NFL facility will be denied entry. An armed officer will only be allowed inside a league facility if they are working an NFL game or event in an official capacity, according to the memo.   Continue reading “NFL rule bans off-duty cops from bringing guns into FirstEnergy Stadium”

The motor psycho charged with starting the biker-mob attack that left a young Manhattan dad beaten to a pulp flipped off photographers in court Sunday — as it emerged that earlier this year, he caught a break from a judge.

Career criminal Reginald Chance, 37, extended both middle fingers as he was hauled into Manhattan Criminal Court on gang-assault and other charges tied to the Sept. 29 beatdown of Alexian Lien.   Continue reading “Biker thug caught prison break from soft judge”

The reason Syria developed bio-weapons in the first place was for defense against Israeli nukes.

Although Syria’s weapons of mass destruction—chemical weapons, in this instance—are now the focus of global media attention, what is largely suppressed in the mainstream media is the “back story” as to why Syria even has chemical weapons in the first place.   Continue reading “Syrian Crisis Exposes Israeli Lobby; Israel Allied with Al Qaeda in Syria”

SAN FRANCISCO — MasterCard is joining the FIDO Alliance, signaling that the payment network is getting interested in using fingerprints and other biometric data to identify people for online payments.

MasterCard will be the first major payment network to join FIDO. The Alliance is developing an open industry standard for biometric data such as fingerprints to be used for identification online. The goal is to replace clunky passwords and take friction out of logging on and purchasing using mobile devices.   Continue reading “MasterCard joining push for fingerprint ID standard”

A teenager who claimed “sarcasm” after talking on Facebook about shooting up a kindergarten spent months in jail this year for making a “terroristic threat.” Over the summer, Instagram photos of guns and money led to New York City’s largest gun bust ever. A mom’s Facebook photo of her baby with a bong led to her 2010 arrest. 

While criminals — or those guilty of ill-placed sarcasm — aren’t wising up about social media oversharing, tools for monitoring Americans online are increasingly accessible and affordable to authorities, no NSA-level clearance required. Those in charge are monitoring more and more and social networks are happy to comply, especially where extra revenue is involved.   Continue reading “Police & schools are spying on your Tweets & social media activity”

Last week, for the first time since the 1979 Iranian revolution, the US president spoke with his Iranian counterpart. Their 15 minute telephone call was reported to open the door to further high-level discussions. This is a very important event.

I have been saying for years that we should just talk to the Iranians. After all, we talked to the Soviets when they actually had thousands of nuclear missiles pointed at us! The Iranians have none, according to our own intelligence services. I even suggested a few years ago that we should “offer friendship” to them. Unfortunately, so many so-called experts have a stake in keeping tensions high and pushing us to war. They did not want to hear what I was saying. It seems, though, this is beginning to change now with these recent events.   Continue reading “An Opening to Iran?”

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is blocking the main whistleblower in the Fast and Furious case from publishing a book, claiming his retelling of the Mexico “gun-walking” scandal will hurt morale inside the embattled law enforcement agency, according to documents obtained by The Washington Times.

ATF’s dispute with Special Agent John Dodson is setting up a First Amendment showdown that is poised to bring together liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and conservatives in Congress who have championed Mr. Dodson’s protection as a whistleblower.   Continue reading “ATF tries to block whistleblowing agent’s Fast and Furious book”

Ben S. Bernanke, the world’s most-powerful central banker, says he doesn’t understand gold prices. If his peers had paid attention, they might have stopped expanding reserves that lost $545 billion in value since bullion peaked in 2011.

Bernanke, who holds economics degrees from Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and led the Federal Reserve through the biggest financial disaster since the Great Depression, told the Senate Banking Committee in July that “nobody really understands gold prices and I don’t pretend to really understand them either.”   Continue reading “Gold Befuddles Bernanke as Central Banks’ Losses at $545 Billion”
