A polygraph instructor has been sentenced to eight months in prison for teaching federal job applicants how to deceive a lie detector test. The case has raised concerns over the First Amendment and the legitimacy of polygraph results.

Chad Dixon of Marion, Indiana pleaded guilty last year to wire fraud and obstructing a government proceeding with his business, Polygraph Consultants of America. Prosecutors initially sought a two-year sentence for Dixon, whom they said should be sent a “strong message” for knowingly teaching polygraph counter-measures to federal job applicants and criminal suspects.    Continue reading “Indiana man sentenced to 8 months in prison for teaching polygraph-beating methods”

The alternative media has raised John Kerry’s membership in Skull and Bones as a possible reason for his enthusiasm for war with Syria.

Skull and Bones is a satan-worshipping secret society formed in the 19th century by the most ruthless members of America’s slaving, opium-trading WASP organized crime families. Skull and Bones members are selected for their cunning and sociopathy. They are inducted in a bizarre ceremony that occurs every year in “the Crypt” – an underground bunker beneath a building near Yale University in New Haven, Connnecticut.   Continue reading “Will Kerry masturbate naked in a coffin to launch Syria war?”

Once more it is time to remind Boobus Amerikanus of the TRUTH ( there’s that pesky TRUTH word again) and the jews don’t like it. As matter of fact their whole lives are built on lies since the time of Moses and King David.

Moses the self admitted war criminal was a murderer in Egypt but he lied and even hid the corpse of his murdered victim – a man who had never done him any harm. Then there was lustful King David who couldn’t keep his dick in his robes. Had his best friend murdered so he could screw his wife – then made her pregnant with his adultery and lied about it. What putrid role models for our kids – who see these horrid criminals portrayed as heroes – of the jews – of course   Continue reading “It wasn’t the Arabs, Stupid, It was always the Jews”

The earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011 and left the Fukushima power plant damaged and leaking radiation into the environment seems to have faded into the past, but the dangers to the environment and human health are far from over, with the latest leak of highly radioactive water being described by the plant operators, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Co), as a serious radiation incident.    Continue reading “As Fukushima continues to leak radiation, protect yourself with Bentonite Clay”

Leaders of the world’s major economies are planning a co-ordinated crackdown on people and corporations that evade taxes and shortchange public coffers.

Lt. Col. Daniel L. Davis doesn’t have faith in Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno.

Or the rest of the U.S. Army’s generals, for that matter.

Writing in the August issues of The Armed Forces Journal (“Purge the generals“), Davis argues that it’s high time to sack the Army’s senior leaders for what he sees as an institutionalized epidemic of astonishing failures that not only go unreported, but are typically rewarded. All of it, he says, is creating a self-perpetuating culture of abysmal performance that won’t go away until the generals do.    Continue reading “How to Fix the Army: Sack All the Generals”

Obama recognizes that a war with Syria will be unpopular with the American people, but says that it is not their decision to make

The popular myth in America and most modern democracies is that the general population decides on important issues that effect their lives.  However the reality is very different from this myth.  In reality the general population has no say at all, their only options are to be persuaded by the politicians and get in line, or shut up and deal with it.   Continue reading “Obama Admits Public Doesn’t Want War, But Says He Knows Whats Best”

Whether it’s home to animals or humans, every habitat must contain a source of drinking water. And because most homes in most places are not sited on the bank of a stream or lake, it has been a practice since biblical times to obtain the water needed by creating an access to aquifers concealed below the earth’s surface. Before the industrial era made pumps and pipes common hardware items, wells were created by simply digging a narrow hole down to the water table, then drawing the water that seeped into its bottom upward in a bucket attached to a rope.   Continue reading “Drive your own freshwater well”

On September 6th Andy Borowitz, writing for The New Yorker, published an article titled  G20 ENDS ABRUPTLY AS OBAMA CALLS PUTIN A JACKASS which has caused quite a stir on social media. He claimed that U.S. President Barack Obama went on a name calling tirade, hurling insults at his Russian nemesis Vladimir Putin.

The article is pure satire but from the activity I’ve witnessed on facebook and twitter, many people are under the impression that it’s fact and that’s a shame because nothing could be further from the truth. How do I know this? Because there isn’t one single news outlet besides The New Yorker with a corroborating story – and trust me, if it was true every news site on the web would be running it!   Continue reading “Did Obama Really Call Putin a Jackass? No. – The Consequences of Political Satire”

Israel’s response to Obama’s surprise move to delay or even possibly cancel air strikes made clear that connection: looking soft on Assad after accusing him of killing hundreds of people with chemical weapons may embolden his backers in Tehran to develop nuclear arms, Israeli officials said. And if they do, Israel may strike Iran alone, unsure Washington can be trusted.   Continue reading “Did Israel just Declare War on the United States of America? “Take Out Syria or We Attack Iran” – Netanyahu”

Retired Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, former CIA director under President Barack Obama, called strongly Saturday for Congress to back the White House on Syria, declaring that military action against the regime is “necessary” to deter “Iran, North Korea and other would-be aggressors.”

“Failure of Congress to approve the president’s request would have serious ramifications not just in the Mideast but around the world,” Petraeus said in a four-sentence statement provided to POLITICO.   Continue reading “Petraeus calls on Congress to back White House on Syria”
