Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely – so said Lord Acton. We’ve also been told that money is power, and that money is the root of all sorts of evil. When you add all of those bits of wisdom together, it paints a picture of the current mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg.
Bloomberg is one of the wealthiest men in the world. He has used his billions to buy and hold his office as mayor of NYC, where he has instituted policies and practices completely beyond the scope of lawful government and in direct opposition to the restrictions of the U.S. Constitution. Not only has Bloomberg decreed that his subjects may not purchase large soda drinks and that his Pretorian Guard may “stop and frisk” anyone they choose – at any time, for any reason or for no particular reason – he has also used the power of his office and apparently the city’s taxpayers’ money to advance his own dream of restrictive firearm laws across the nation.

Iyad Rishmawi appears to be an older respectable kind of gentleman, balding, neatly dressed, but the guy clearly has a sense of humor. He wants to talk about the First Intifada from the point of view of the people rather than the politicians, but first he wants to show us a documentary film, “The Wanted Eighteen.” Continue reading “A true story of bovine resistance”
America represents the worst of rogue governance. So does Israel. They menace humanity. They persecute their best. They honor their worst.
Peacemakers are scorned. Waging war on humanity’s rewarded. On March 21, Obama received Israel’s Medal of Distinction. It’s also called the President’s Medal.
“Out of a hundred men, ten shouldn’t be there and 80 are just targets. Nine are the real fighters, and we are thankful for them because they make the battle. But the one, the one is a warrior and he brings the others back.”

That quote from 500bc is as true now as it was then. Think back and realize, this was the time of the Greek citizen soldier, the height of hoplite warfare. The city states of Greece were defended by their citizens who drilled in the summer time and engaged in brief campaigns against their neighbors. If you took 100 modern American civilians I would imagine a similar ratio. The Spartans, still citizen soldiers, took their soldiering seriously. Through dedication and training they upped the ratio of real fighters and warriors and were able to clean house. Continue reading “The Combat Triad”
A passion for power, in any degree, will override moral-ethical norms, courtesy, and notions about “tolerance.”

The Obama administration and the NSA have gone into full spin mode trumpeting its victories in the plots that didn’t happen while conveniently ignoring the one that did.
WEB Notes: We will basically repeat what we said when the Senate passed this in a test vote… The death of America draws nigh. The passage of this amnesty bill for roughly “11 million illegal immigrants” will be the death stroke of America. Make note those “11 million” will bring all of their family members aboard the nation formerly known as the United States. Continue reading “TREASON: U.S. Senate Passes Amnesty Bill in 68 to 32 Vote”
In Early June, on 2 nights a few days apart, unknown people calculatedly destroyed 6500 genetically modified (GMO) sugar beet plants, toxic products of Monsanto and Sygenta, Genetically Modified not to have a higher quality or provide more yield, but simply to withstand higher doses of Monsanto’s poison “Roundup”, to benefit the company at the expense of he people.

Manasquan, NJ –(Ammoland.com)- Anti second amendment advocates, LUCINDA M. FINLEY and JOHN G. CULHANE recently wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times, titled “Make Gun Companies Pay Blood Money“, promoting that people exercising their constitutional right to keep and bear arms be made to pay a tax, that could then be used to pay victims of gun violence.

BELLEVUE, WA –(Ammoland.com)- The Second Amendment Foundation today has filed a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request with the City of New York for all records relating to Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns, after newspaper allegations that city resources have been used for MAIG’s gun control efforts.
The New York City Council passed two measures to restrain police powers early on Thursday in direct defiance of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has defended procedures such as “stop and frisk” as necessary to fight crime.
One creates an independent inspector general to monitor the New York Police Department (NYPD) over a seven-year period and make recommendations on how it could be improved. The other expands the definition of racial profiling and allows people who believe they have been profiled to sue police in state court.

When it comes to discussing religion orpolitics in the office, of course, tact is required. But just how tight-lipped should you be? Clive Hunt, a 58-year old IT consultant in Manchester, England, confronted this question head on earlier this month, when he offered to pick up “bacon sandwiches” during a meeting with a new client. That reportedly offended a Muslim co-worker – and soon after, Hunt says he was told he lost the job. According to a report in the Manchester Evening News, Hunt says a manager told him the decision was made because of his “racist remark.” Continue reading “IT Worker Allegedly Fired For Offering Bacon Sandwich To Muslim Co-Worker”
Would you be shocked to learn that the FBI apparently knew that some organization, perhaps even a law enforcement agency or private security outfit, had contingency plans to assassinate peaceful protestors in a major American city — and did nothing to intervene?
Would you be surprised to learn that this intelligence comes not from a shadowy whistle-blower but from the FBI itself – specifically, from a document obtained from Houston FBI office last December, as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the Washington, DC-based Partnership for Civil Justice Fund?
