The Daily Caller – by Jeff Poor

Former National Security Agency analyst Russ Tice, a Bush-era whistleblower, has recently made some startling claims that the federal government’s wiretap endeavors targeted high-ranking government including military officials, lawmakers and diplomats.

One of those target wound up being elected president. In appearance on “The Boiling Frogs Show” on Wednesday, Tice made the astonishing claim that the NSA had ordered wiretaps on phones connected to then-Democratic Senate hopeful Barack Obama in 2004, weeks prior to his breakout at the 2004 Democratic Convention in Boston.   Continue reading “Bush-era whistle-blower: Obama was NSA wiretap victim in 2004”

The U.S. CapitolIt would be a good time to do some reading up on what’s about to hit the USA by researching the Weimar Republic of Germany in the 1920’s.

They, like GW Bush and Company, and Obama also decided to go to war by borrowing the money needed and not raising taxes.  Here’s a hint: Be sure you have a wheelbarrow to carry your worthless Fed notes in to the store to shop for groceries.   Continue reading “The Waste List: 66 Crazy Ways That The U.S. Government Is Wasting Your Hard-Earned Money”

The city cited an 1976 ordinance that forbids people from carrying a firearm into a park.   Continue reading “Judge Upholds City Firearms Ban”

IRS Agents ‘Accidentally’ Discharged Guns 11 Times, Possible ‘Property Damage or Personal Injury’CNS News – by Elizabeth Harrington

Special agents at the IRS accidentally shot their firearms 11 times between 2009 and 2011, and at least three of the cases “may have resulted in property damage or personal injury.”

Agents actually fired their guns accidentally more often than they intentionally fired them in the field, according to an audit by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).   Continue reading “IRS Agents ‘Accidentally’ Discharged Guns 11 Times, Possible Injuries”

As noted in my June 7, 2013 report titled DHS Insider: It’s about to get very ugly, the additional information provided to me that was temporarily withheld from publication is now being released. The methodical and incremental release of information was (and is) deliberate, to allow other things to play out, such as the public exposure to the name Edward Snowden and his revelations regarding just how extensive the domestic surveillance apparatus is—and who the surveillance is actually targeting.   Continue reading “More DHS insider from DC”

Sixty years ago today, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were legally murdered by the United States government. Today, their children see that horror as a force for good …

Today, the US government asserts that danger from the international terrorist conspiracy and their weapons of mass destruction justifies massive surveillance, indefinite detention and even torture. Authorities say we must guard national secrets even more securely to avoid destruction. Today, the issues raised by the Rosenberg case resonate from the Oval Office of the White House to Bradley Manning, who is being tried under the Espionage Act of 1917, as were Ethel and Julius.   Continue reading “Rosenberg Children Speak of their Parent’s Execution 60 Years Ago”

I first personally heard of American Spirit Arms when they joined the boycott of New York over their implementation of the blatantly unconstitutional NY SAFE Act. I was unaware (until a few weeks ago) just how much an outspoken and advocate for liberty ASA’s Joe Sirochman was until a few weeks ago, when I stumbled across his videodiscussing a “high-capacity” firearm that I’d never heard of before. I’ve been using his argument online since then, but forgot to post the link for you guys.   Continue reading ““High-capacity” firearms: as old as America itself.”

Government officials like to use eminent domain for the convenience of their preferred policies and/or the enrichment of themselves and their buddies. Usually, they get away with it, because the folks on the receiving end are too few and powerless to hold their tormentors to account. In Hackensack, New Jersey, however, the officials who targeted Michael Monaghan’s property for seizure as part of an “area in need of redevelopment,”  even while denying him the right to develop it himself, pushed too many people around, too often. Last month, voters booted out the entire city council.   Continue reading “Attempted Land Grab Ends With Voters Booting Entire City Council”

In yet another instance of a report indicating that tech giants worked directly with intelligence agencies to enable government surveillance, it is now being reported that Skype began a secret program called Project Chess to enable intelligence agencies and law enforcement to easily get a hold of calls.

This comes after it was revealed that Skype was part of the massive National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance program known as PRISM.   Continue reading “Project Chess: Skype’s secret program aimed at making calls readily available to intelligence agencies”

OKLAHOMA CITY – Talk to any journalist, particularly after they’ve had a few drinks at the bar, and ask them if they are ever nervous or concerned when going up against great power. At first they will probably say “nah, I’m a reporter. I’m just doing my job and they know that.” But if you really press them on the topic – particularly after that third or fourth drink – and they will begin to admit that, yeah, taking on the powerful is a bit stressful and, perhaps, dangerous.   Continue reading “Hastings’ death in fiery car crash is just the latest in a growing list of dead investigative journos”

The scandal over illegal data interception by US security services questions the correlation between the US and international law, and senior Russian officials are calling for an urgent update in Russian legislation in response.

Russia will not ignore the actions of the US authorities who had admitted leaks of personal data of Russian citizens to which the US security services had access, the Foreign Ministry’s plenipotentiary for human rights, Konstantin Dolgov, said at a special meeting initiated by the Upper House of the Russian parliament.   Continue reading “Russia promises legal action over NSA surveillance scandal”

The West may be flip-flopping over whether or not to send lethal arms to the Syria rebels, but that has not stopped a 12-day military exercise in Jordan, in which thousands of troops from a variety of countries are preparing for the possibility of fighting in Syria. The war games come to an end tomorrow.

With more than half a million Syrian refugees having already crossed into Jordan, the Kingdom has for some time been worried that civil war in Syria could seep across its border. The exercises, which have been guided by the American military, are the latest stage of Amman’s preparation for eventually being sucked into the conflict. The US has already deployed patriot missile systems in Jordan, near the Syrian border.   Continue reading “8,000 troops from 19 countries join Jordan ‘war games’ in readiness for spreading Syria conflict”

Despite the near 17 TRILLION dollars in debt this country already has, and the complete failure of federal bailout programs throughout recent and past decades, and despite the Congress of the United States being on the brink of passing an unfunded 1 TRILLION dollar farm bill-which the house thankfully just rejected 234-195-the United States Department of Agriculture has announced it will be spending 38 million dollars on a preventative sugar bailout, thanks to information gathered by the Star Tribune.    Continue reading “USDA Announces 38 Million Dollar Sugar Bailout to Prevent Big Sugar Bailout”
