National Defense – by Sandra I. Erwin

Two of the Army’s largest ammunition plants are seeing an influx of funds as the service begins to ramp up production of new explosives that are less dangerous to handle and store than traditional materials.

The Army invested $330 million over the past five years in manufacturing facilities at the Holston Ammunition Plant in Kingsport, Tenn., where large-scale production of the “insensitive” explosive IMX is now in progress. A similar effort is under way at the Radford Ammunition Plant, in southwest Va.    Continue reading “Booming Business at Army Ammunition Plants”

A key distinction between the U.S. and other nations, even relatively free nations, long has been American restrictions on domestic use of the military, for police actions, law enforcement and keeping things under control.

However, when the local police officer or sheriff’s deputy is equipped with night vision goggles, laser-scope rifles, electronic eavesdropping equipment and body armor and comes up a citizen’s driveway in a military-type personnel carrier with shielded windows and oversize wheels, the prohibitions seem to lose some of their teeth.   Continue reading “SWAT teams new face of police agencies”

To my Austin, friends. Giving you all a head’s up on this. Be careful in your neighborhood.

Story Leak – by Anthony Gucciardi 

Just two weeks after it came to light that Israel attacked a Russian missile compound in Syria in an act that may have been related to the massive 160,000 troop Russian ‘combat ready’ drill, new reports have surfaced that Israel has once again bombed Syrian missiles via Israeli air force jets.    Continue reading “Israel Attacks Another Syrian Missile Cache Weeks After Russian Missile Attack”

The Daily Sheeple – by Chris Carrington

A Texas couple out for a nice afternoon with their horses ended up living through what must have seemed like the plot of a horror movie.  They were attacked by a swarm of bees and were stung more than 250 times between them. The miniature horses they were with were stung so many times they died.

Kirsten Beauregard of Pantego Texas was exercising her horses when a ‘dark cloud’ engulfed her and the animal. She jumped into a pool to escape the onslaught and the horse followed. She said:   Continue reading “Killer Bees in Texas? People Attacked and Livestock Killed by Vicious Swarm”

Gun Watch – by Dean Weingarten

About as many people turned up to buy firearms as turned up to turn them in.

A total of 77 guns were turned in, with many of them being BB guns.

About 50 people turned up to buy any guns that were worth more than the gift cards offered by the turn in organizers.    It is very common for people turning in guns to bring two or more guns to be turned in.   Continue reading “WI: Racine Gun Turn in (buy back) a Bust”

[Another chapter of humanity’s unsavory hidden history. If it’s truly revelatory and reflects poorly on the controllers du jour (especially the tentacles of the British oligarchy and their minions), it will be expunged from the history books, similar to the fact that the slave trade and piracy were acts by and large carried out by exploitive Khazarian Talmudic Jews and the business-bankster bandits of their day. Most likely this would be hooted down as sensationalist reverse racism, demeaning the plight of the African slaves.   Continue reading “Hidden History: The Irish Slave Trade”

The totalitarian tip-toe is tap dancing to tyranny with the proposed Internet censorship bill in the United Kingdom. In the name of keeping children safe from porn, the UK law will impose Internet filters on far more than just porn.

According to Wired:   Continue reading “UK Internet Porn Censor to Also Block Conspiracy Theories”

An American investigative journalist says the US National Security Agency “possesses highly embarrassing communications” of some members of Congress, using the records to “blackmail” the lawmakers.

Wayne Madsen said a hearing on the NSA’s spying programs scheduled to be held at Congress on Wednesday is just “for public consumption.”   Continue reading “NSA ‘blackmails’ members of Congress”

Freedom Outpost – by Gordan Runyan

I’ve been trying to become a history student on my own for the last few years. Nothing outrageous, just reading good books as I find them on the cheap. I have had my tree shaken in the last year by two books in particular. One is a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the other is a fairly old textbook documenting the events of the American Revolution.     Continue reading “Noble Voices From the Grave Respond To Tyranny”

Gold Seek – by Jim Willie CB, GoldenJackass.com

Many are the signals of breakdown, in the financial system and the Gold market. The day is near for release of gold from under the thumb of the criminal bankers. They can no longer operate in the shadows, recently in full view. The best information coming to my desk indicates that three major Western banks are under constant threat of failure overnight, every night, forcing extraordinary measures to avoid failure. They are Deutshe Bank in Germany, Barclays in London, and Citibank in New York.   Continue reading “Signals for Breakdown on Numerous Fault Lines”
