The innocuously sounding ‘Media Shield Law,’ also referred to as a bill to provide the free flow of information to the public, is not what it is presented to be. It is an integral plank of the Progressives and Globalists who have been advancing the Communist agenda for decades, using it to ultimately seek control under global governance. The bill, should it become law, will have a chilling effect on free speech, especially any negative discourse against the people in power, their policies and plans. Everyone needs to pay very close attention to this bill and take a stand to assure its defeat.   Continue reading “Media Shield Law is armor for the autocrats”

Here is my second iteration of the National Security Agency’s organization chart, which is now as up to date as possible, and includes a significant number of additions. I have also tried to organize the names of NSA databases and tools by function, and you can see the flow of where data comes from, what is, and can be, done with it once it resides inside the NSA’s brain. I am not a visual artist, and I am certain that one of you can make this chart sing and shine in a way that I cannot.   Continue reading “The NSA’s secret org chart”

The White House says US President Barack Obama will not meet with his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week.

“There are currently no plans for the president and President Rouhani to meet at UNGA,” National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said in an email to American newspaper The Hill.    Continue reading “White House: Obama will not meet with Iran president in New York”

Last Resistance – by Philip Hodges

A Houston, Texas man may face charges for shooting a couple of carjackers and killing one. It happened one evening last week when the man came to his local Redbox to rent a video. When he was out of his car, two men robbed him of his keys and cellphone at gunpoint before getting into the victim’s car in an attempt to leave. (If only the Redbox had posted their “Carjacking-Free Zone” sign. Then, this incident probably would have never been conceived in the first place.)   Continue reading “Houston Man May Face Charges for Shooting Carjackers”

Prostitution. Bribery. Blackmail. Thuggery. Hypocrisy.

Those were just some of the incendiary words thrown around the U.S. Senate last week, and that doesn’t count what people said in private.

The Senate may still have a reputation as a genteel club, but lawmakers seemed to abandon rules of decorum completely last week in arguments about whether Congress should be treated like the rest of the country when it comes to Obamacare.    Continue reading “Congress’s Exemption from Obamacare”

‘Are you sexually active? If so, with one partner, multiple partners or same-sex partners?”

Be ready to answer those questions and more the next time you go to the doctor, whether it’s the dermatologist or the cardiologist and no matter if the questions are unrelated to why you’re seeking medical help. And you can thank the Obama health law.   Continue reading “Obamacare will question your sex life”

If you were under the impression that the brewing conflict with Syria is over or that it would be a simple one sided affair with the United States launching “brief and limited” strikes on Syrian military assets, then consider the following report from a Russian military review.   Continue reading “Sabotage: Special Forces To Target U.S. Economy, Infrastructure, Railways, Power Plants, Waterworks, and Refineries In the Event of Mid East Conflict”

Israel’s Ministry of Health has made a bold ruling against artificial water fluoridation, reversing more than 15 years of forced poisoning via public water supplies in the Middle Eastern country. A recent announcement by Israel’s Supreme Court has declared that a 1974 law permitting — and a later 1998 law requiring — all public water supplies in Israel to be fluoridated are both outdated and invalid, and that all current fluoridation programs in the country will have to end by April 9, 2014, in order to comply with new public safety requirements.   Continue reading “Israel commits to ending water fluoridation by 2014, citing major health concerns”

The New Boston Tea Party

Succession is in the wind; activists from the tiny state of Maryland have seen liberalism, seen moochism, seen lying liberals for much too long. And they plan on doing something about it, secede from the State as a whole. Of course this won’t happen but it does manifest the frustration with progressive policies that have diluted the American way.   Continue reading “Western Maryland has had it”

The Organic Prepper

The  FY14 Continuing Resolution (CR) spending bill  is soon to be on the table in the Senate, and hidden in this bill is a continuance of the controversial “Monsanto Protection Act” that was passed 6 months ago (HR 933) amidst enormous public outcry.

It probably won’t come as much of a surprise that the mainstream media is providing disinformation regarding this bill – after all – look at their advertisers. It’s just good business for them to go with the flow on this. According to mainstream sources, this is being presented as a done deal, when in fact, it has only passed the House and must still go before both the Senate and the President.   Continue reading “Untouchable: Government Gives Monsanto the Go-Ahead to Kill You and Your Family”

Republicans, Democrats – authoritarian collectivists generally – reflexively dismiss Libertarianism as “impractical” and “naive” in order to avoid discussing the validity of core Libertarian ideals – self ownership, non-aggression. They wave their hands and say, “it won’t work.”

But is this true?   Continue reading “Practical Libertarianism: Peace Keepers vs. Police”
