Gun law expert and veteran lobbyist Joe Waldron is analyzing the guncontrol initiative filed in Olympia Tuesday, and he sees some problems with the 15-page document.Examiner – by Dave Workman

The 15-page gun control initiative filed yesterday in Olympia will get national attention for several reasons, but perhaps the most important of those is because billionaire New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) may want to see how it works here before trying it somewhere else.

The Secretary of State’s office notes shooting victim Cheryl Stumbo as the person who filed, but behind this effort is the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility. The document is on-line thanks to the Seattle Times.   Continue reading “Why Washington gun control initiative will get national attention”

CARSON CITY, Nev. — After 13 years of waiting, medical marijuana patients in Nevada will soon have a legal way to obtain the drug without growing it themselves.

Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval signed SB374 into law Wednesday evening. The measure establishes the framework to make pot available to medical marijuana card holders, and imposes fees and requirements for growers, processors and dispensaries. It also contains provisions to continue to allow home-growing until 2016.   Continue reading “Nevada Medical Marijuana Dispensary Law Signed By Brian Sandoval”

INFILTRATION. SABOTAGE. MAYHEM. FOR YEARS FOUR-STAR GENERAL KEITH ALEXANDER HAS BEEN BUILDING A SECRET ARMY CAPABLE OF LAUNCHING DEVASTATING CYBERATTACKS. NOW IT’S READY TO UNLEASH HELL.

INSIDE FORT MEADE, Maryland, a top-secret city bustles. Tens of thousands of people move through more than 50 buildings—the city has its own post office, fire department, and police force. But as if designed by Kafka, it sits among a forest of trees, surrounded by electrified fences and heavily armed guards, protected by antitank barriers, monitored by sensitive motion detectors, and watched by rotating cameras. To block any telltale electromagnetic signals from escaping, the inner walls of the buildings are wrapped in protective copper shielding and the one-way windows are embedded with a fine copper mesh.   Continue reading “The Secret War”

The Last Resistance – by Onan Coca

Over the last week and a half American voices have made themselves heard. The loudest voices are seemingly shocked and disgusted at the level of hubris our federal government must have. For almost seven years they have been vacuuming up much of our most intimate correspondence in some misguided attempt to fight the War on Terror. While the loudest voices may be angry, polls seem to show that the majority of Americans are content with the news they’ve heard thus far – and that could be an even greater cause for alarm than the snooping scandal itself.   Continue reading “Americans Happy to Give Up 4th Amendment Rights”

Over the counter pain remedies such as aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen have been the go-to choices for killing pain and/or inflammation fast. But they have their vast array of side effects.

Aspirin has been linked to gastrointestinal problems and ulcers as well hemorrhaging and strokes. Tylenol contains acetaminophen, which is toxic to the liver.   Continue reading “Five natural pain-relieving alternatives to aspirin and NSAIDS that work fast”

New NSA data center in Bluffdale, UtahThe Guardian – by Ed Pilkington and Nicholas Watt

Lawyers and intelligence experts with direct knowledge of two intercepted terrorist plots that the Obama administration says confirm the value of the NSA’s vast data-mining activities have questioned whether the surveillance sweeps played a significant role, if any, in foiling the attacks.

The defence of the controversial data collection operations, highlighted in a series of Guardian disclosures over the past week, has been led by Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate intelligence committee, and her equivalent in the House, Mike Rogers. The two politicians have attempted to justify the NSA‘s use of vast data sweeps such as Prism and Boundless Informant by pointing to the arrests and convictions of would-be New York subway bomber Najibullah Zazi in 2009 and David Headley, who is serving a 35-year prison sentence for his role in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.   Continue reading “NSA surveillance played little role in foiling terror plots, experts say”

There appears to be no limit to how far the processed food industry will go to maximize its profits, even if it means reprocessing animal meat waste and adding it to completely unrelated foods like ice cream. This is the latest endeavor by industrial food researchers in Italy, Belgium, and elsewhere, who are right now developing novel methods to turn meat industry leftovers into protein-rich powders and slurry for the factory food industry.    Continue reading “Meat scrap leftovers now being reprocessed into ice cream: The dismal future of food”

Well America, here we are again one step closer to the ever approaching, abysmal pit…. of tyranny. There were a lot of things reported today that likely went completely unnoticed. The Santa Monica shooter for instance, it turns out he was a Muslim and seven years ago he was actually investigated by California police for having bomb making material in his apartment.    Continue reading “Obama Implements Communist Goals By Discrediting The American Constitution”

Establishment PoliticiansThe Economic Collapse – by Michael

Establishment politicians from both major political parties are rushing to defend the NSA and condemn whistleblower Edward Snowden.  They are attempting to portray Edward Snowden as a “traitor” and the spooks over at the NSA that are snooping on all of us as “heroes”.  In fact, many of the exact same politicians that once railed against government spying during the Bush years are now staunchly defending it now that Obama is in the White House.    Continue reading “22 Nauseating Quotes From Hypocritical Establishment Politicians About The NSA Spying Scandal”

There’s been trouble in the tropical paradise of Belize.

Despite the fact that the federal government of Belize has banned all GMO seeds from the country’s borders, a field of GMO soybeans was found growing in the northern portion of the country.  (Two weeks ago, an errant field of unapproved GMO wheat was discovered in Oregon – these examples make it clear that Monsanto and the rest of the biotech industry have no regard for the regulations that disallowed these crops to be planted.)   Continue reading “Trouble in Paradise: Belize Destroys Unauthorized GMO Soybean Crop”

Former GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul insisted on Tuesday that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is not a traitor, but he fears the U.S. government may send drones or a cruise missile to kill the 29-year-old, who has fled the United States.

The National Security Agency surveillance scandal could now cost the federal government and its corporate cronies a cool $20 billion or more.

The NSA, Department of Justice, President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and the 12 companies allegedly collaborating with the government to conduct warrantless surveillance of American citizens are all named defendants in a class action lawsuit brought by former Justice Department prosecutor Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch.   Continue reading “NSA Slapped With $20 Billion Class-Action Suit”

Mr. Conservative – by Warner Todd Huston

Many people don’t know that there are thousands of agents of the Internal Revenue Service that are allowed to carry firearms anywhere they go. Apparently South Carolina Republican Jeff Duncan was one of them. As it happens, Duncan was surprised to find that on a visit to the IRS, he saw agents practicing with AR-15s (and perhaps as full auto machine guns, at that).

Not long after the visit, Duncan took to Twitter to report what he saw saying, “A few weeks ago when I toured a DHS facility I saw IRS agents training with AR-15′s.”   Continue reading “IRS Agents Training With AR-15′s According To Republican Congressman”

German outrage over a U.S. Internet spying program has broken out ahead of a visit by Barack Obama, with ministers demanding the president provide a full explanation when he lands in Berlin next week and one official likening the tactics to those of the East German Stasi.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman has said she will raise the issue with Obama in talks next Wednesday, potentially casting a cloud over a visit that was designed to celebrate U.S.-German ties on the 50th anniversary John F. Kennedy’s famous “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech.   Continue reading “Germans accuse U.S. of Stasi tactics before Obama visit”
