Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said late Sunday that chemicals were leaking from a train carrying flammable and corrosive materials that derailed Sunday afternoon and forced the evacuation of around 100 homes.

The evacuated homes were within one mile of the derailment and remained empty as of Monday. Police said at least 26 cars on the 76-car train went off the tracks about 3:30 p.m. Sunday in Lawtell, which is about 60 miles west of Baton Rouge.    Continue reading “100 homes evacuated after Louisiana train derailment”

Editors Note: I want to preface this article by giving a very special thanks to the brave individuals who obtained exclusive photographs of the facility, leaking the initial report to our agency.

FORT CHAFFEE, ARKANSAS — Carnis Village is what the Army National Guard calls it. A mock American town which even contains dummy citizens for domestic training purposes. Located on the grounds of the Fort Chaffee Maneuver Training Center, the massive training compound is likely a dead-ringer clue foreshadowing the grim path we are now traversing as a nation.   Continue reading “Insider Blows the Whistle On DHS Takeover Plan”

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) says a bill protecting reporters and their sources should only apply to ‘real journalists,’ declaring that WikiLeaks employees, and nonsalaried reporters, don’t count.

The “shield law” under debate in the Senate Judiciary Committee would protect journalists and their confidential sources from court orders and subpoenas.   Continue reading “Senator’s Attempt to Define ‘Real Journalism’ Blasted By Journalists”

18 states have legalized weed for some purposes. 13 states are sponsoring bills that ask for the respect of state laws on the matter.

55% of Americans believe that the drug, that has never been a primary cause of death (1997-2005) should be legalized.

Many feel that the drug should be legalized, taxed, and regulated like alcohol.   Continue reading “The Decriminalization of Marijuana”

Marijuana- by Barry Poppins

Over two months after Illinois’ Senate voted yes on medical marijuana, Governor Pat Quinn has finally signed off, making Illinois “officially” the United States’ 20th medical marijuana state. If you count Washington, D.C., that makes 21, and the country edges closer to the perhaps mythical “Tipping Point” (at least with BHO in office).   Continue reading “Illinois Officially Legalizes Medical Marijuana As Governor Signs Bill”

If this wasn’t serious, it would be absolutely pee-in-your-pants funny:  The Congressional Black Caucus is suggesting that ObeyMe appoint Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee to the post of Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.  The Congressional Black Caucus called her “a voice of reason that the agency could stand to gain.”

A “voice of REASON?!”  She’s the voice of RACISM.   Continue reading “Somewhere in Texas a Village is Missing its Idiot”

Somebody alert Mayor Bloomberg and his comrades trying to disarm law abiding Americans – gun crimes dropped in Virginia when gun sales rose. What a shock. I guess it’s hard to rape, rob or kill someone who is armed.

Amid calls nationwide for stricter gun control laws, Virginia is experiencing a unique trend: the state’s gun-related crime is declining but firearms sales are increasing.   Continue reading “Hey, What Do You Know, Crime Dropped In Virginia As Gun Sales Rose”

This sounds like something right out of the script of a Jerry Springer show.

The details of this case had been unclear and remained somewhat of a mystery until now.

Here is how it all went down….

The family all had dinner together which included a few drinks (or more than a few).   It was TJ Brewer and his wife Logan who also invited Brewer’s father over for dinner.  What TJ didn’t know was that his father planned on having Logan for desert.  In a family comprised of several policeman Timothy Brewer was a deputy  Sheriff and the elder Brewer, known as Corky was  the fire chief of the city of Moab.   Continue reading “Utah Deputy Arrested After Pistol Whipping his Dad After Caught Sleeping with his Wife”

Wars are often unpredictable. The outcome of such conflicts is also unpredictable, but defeat in future conflicts is now being “baked into the cake” and I suspect most Americans are totally unaware of how serious this threat is. You can be sure potential and actual enemies are calculating the odds.

A recent USA Today article noted that the choice between troops and modern weapons would require the Army to shrink to “as few as 380,000 soldiers and the Marine Corps to 150,000 troops. There would also be fewer Navy aircraft carriers and Air Force bombers. Current plans envision an Army of 490,000 soldiers in the coming years, and a Marine Corps of 182,000”, added that “The Army hasn’t been that small since before World War II when it had 267,767 soldiers.”   Continue reading “A Military in Decline”

While it seems that just about all of the economic data coming out of Wall Street or the U.S. Government is manipulated, there is one piece of data that is not.  This valuable piece of information may also give us an idea on just how much the U.S. GDP data is being falsified.

The problem today with modern economics is that it has totally divorced itself from the physical economy.  Everything is based upon a financial adjustment of one figure or a recalibration of another.  Nothing is as its seems in the “Wonderful World of Financialization.”   Continue reading “How Falsified U.S. GDP Data will Lead to Much Higher Precious Metal Prices”

WASHINGTON — The FBI gave its informants permission to break the law at least 5,658 times in a single year, according to newly disclosed documents that show just how often the nation’s top law enforcement agency enlists criminals to help it battle crime.

The U.S. Justice Department ordered the FBI to begin tracking crimes by its informants more than a decade ago, after the agency admitted that its agents had allowed Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger to operate a brutal crime ring in exchange for information about the Mafia. The FBI submits that tally to top Justice Department officials each year, but has never before made it public.   Continue reading “FBI allowed informants to commit 5,600 crimes”

Of late, we have the “phony scandals”.  Most notable are Benghazi, IRS, Associated Press and Fast and Furious’.

Then there is Solyndra, Abound Solar, Beacon Power, Fisker Automotive, and the list goes on.

Obama Care is an absolute disaster.  Obama will accept nothing less than complete acceptance of the whole bill which will put many small businesses out of business.   Continue reading “Obama Years”
