Yesterday I read an article written by a soldier, or militia member, and he was complaining about writers who stir up other people to fight, and his implications accused them of cowardice by expressing doubt as to whether they would fight themselves, or just incite others to do it for them.

I have no idea if his article was pertaining to me specifically, and it really doesn’t matter, because it did pertain to what I, and hundreds of others do, so I am justifiably offended by this.

I’d like to ask the brave soldier why I didn’t hear him make this statement ten years ago, when there was no one on his side? And if his new-found bravery was inspired by the popularity of his cause, where does the fool think that popularity came from?    Continue reading “For the soldier with the pen”

The U.S. Military has blocked access to the Southern Baptist Convention’s website on an unknown number of military bases because it contains “hostile content” — just weeks after an Army briefing labeled Evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics as examples of religious extremism, Fox News has learned.

The Southern Baptist Convention is the nation’s largest Protestant denomination known for its support of the pro-life movement and its strong belief in traditional marriage.   Continue reading “Pentagon Blocks Access to Southern Baptist Website”

Any totalitarian government, such as the Obama administration needs to control the flow of information and make certain that people are left defenseless by seizing their guns. This article is about how the Obama administration has likely used the Boston Marathon bombing as a pretext to seize control over the internet, thus eliminating the only true form of uncensored news.   Continue reading “The Motive Behind the Boston False Flag Operation”

In her book titled No Immediate Danger: Prognosis for a Radioactive Earth, nuclear power/environmental health expert Rosalie Bertell (1929 – 2012) said:

Should the public discover the true health cost(s) of nuclear pollution, a cry would rise from all parts of the world and people would refuse to cooperate passively with their own death.    Continue reading “Fukushima’s Catastrophic Aftermath Continues”

A week after gun legislation suffered a stinging defeat in the Senate, an uncomfortable realization has settled over the Capitol that it will likely take another mass shooting or similar tragedy to reignite momentum for gun control.

President Obama called last week’s vote “round one.” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., pledged that it was “just the beginning.” But gun-control advocates, both inside and outside of Congress, have identified no immediate path forward to alter a political landscape that left them five votes short in the Senate of passing a bill requiring expanded background checks for gun purchases.   Continue reading “Round Two for Gun Control May Take a ‘Next Newtown’”

Already, small businesses are popping up around the world, providing both the printers themselves, and services for professional prototyping and small run production. Additionally, local institutions called “hackerspaces,” are being built up in part around the the concept of personal manufacturing.

According to live tweets and images sent from ophthalmologist Dr. Kris Held, nearly all doctors had walked out in protest and disgust of Obamacare implementation talks at a prominent national health care meeting. Typically, The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Government Relations session is a well attended, formal business conference where brilliant minds in medicine convene. This year was a different story. With talks of Obamacare implementation and compliance underway, doctors left and right had left the auditorium.   Continue reading “Doctors walk out of national Obamacare implementation meeting”

In a society that is geared towards instant gratification, the problem with non-processed food is that it isn’t “quick”.  One of the major reasons that people give for eating processed foods over whole foods is that “I needed something quick.”  Don’t let your need for speed sidetrack your healthy eating habits.

If you are a prepper, it’s especially important in a disaster situation to have food that you can turn to for quick nutrition.  In a grid-down situation, foods that don’t require cooking can be especially vital.  Some people make the mistake of relying on long-term storage foods that require lengthy cooking times, forgetting that cooking fuel might need to be rationed in order to last throughout the event.  Alternatively, relying on highly processed foods will not provide you with the extra energy you need for the demands that may be placed on you physically in such a situation.   Continue reading “Quick and Clean: 40 Non-Processed Snacks that Meet Your Need for Speed”

“There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent in the way the radical Right believes the Communist act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups [called the CFR in the USA], has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I…was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records.” [Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, p.950]   Continue reading “The Financial Tyranny of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)”

In his new book, “The Invention Of The Land of Israel”, Israeli academic Shlomo Sand, manages to present conclusive evidence of the far fetched nature of the Zionist historical narrative – that the Jewish Exile is a myth as is the Jewish people and even the Land of Israel.

Yet, Sand and many others fail to address the most important question: If Zionism is based on myth, how do the Zionists manage to get away with their lies, and for so long?   Continue reading “How Zionists Manage To Get Away With Their Myths And Lies?”

What is happening to you America?  Once upon a time, the United States was a place where free enterprise thrived and the greatest cities that the world had ever seen sprouted up from coast to coast.  Good jobs were plentiful and a manufacturing boom helped fuel the rise of the largest and most vibrant middle class in the history of the planet.        Continue reading “America The Fallen: 24 Signs That Our Once Proud Cities Are Turning Into Poverty-Stricken Hellholes”

The CEO of SiteGround, Tenko Nikolov, has informed us that they have decided to terminate our contract.  They admit that they misdirected our domain name and took From the Trenches out for two days, which has cost us dearly.  This CEO however contends that his organization is not political in any way and that the politics of From the Trenches had nothing to do with the oopsidaisy that drove our site into the ground.  This is an international company with its legal office based in Washington DC and I’m sure they are not involved in politics in any way.

This is the equivalent of hiring someone to clean your expensive carpets.  After they say they are done, you inspect the job and see that one of their machines has tore the hell out of your carpet.  You say, “Hey, you destroyed my carpet” and then they say, “Well if that is your attitude, here is your money back and we don’t want to work for you anymore. And oh yeah, tough shit as for your property we destroyed, your loss.”

Disable MRAP Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Light-Armored VehiclesUS Crow – by CMF Contributor

As of 2013, constitutional Americans have witnessed an increase in hostile posturing by the federal government. These hostile actions were clearly outlined by the CMF Website Administrator in the article ‘The American Government continues to target Preppers’. One of the most notable actions outlined in this article was the purchase of 2,700 MRAP Light Armored Vehicles by the Department of Homeland Security. A purchase warranted as unnecessary and irrational by seasoned military and police personnel. This single purchase of MRAPs is understandably unnerving for those in the survival community.   Continue reading “How to disable MRAP Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Light Armored Vehicles”

It was absurd that a city of millions shutdown, and a cowardly people surrendered their basic rights and human dignity, because of the threat of one young terrorist.

Now it seems that the same thuggish Boston Police Department that ran roughshod over the rights of it’s law abiding citizens, forcing them from their homes at gun point and aiming machine guns at people who dared film their abuse, has been caught blatantly lying about the capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev:   Continue reading “Did the Boston PD lie about the “hour-long firefight” with Boston terror suspect?”

Senator Infoe 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Congressman Frank Lucas (R-OK-3) today introduced in their respective chambers the Ammunition Management for More Obtainability (AMMO) Act of 2013. The legislation would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a report on the purchasing of ammunition by federal agencies, except the Department of Defense, and its effect on the supply of ammunition available to the public. The AMMO Act would restrict agencies from obtaining additional ammunition for a six-month period if current agency stockpiles are higher than its monthly averages prior to the Obama Administration.     Continue reading “Inhofe, Lucas Introduce Bill Limiting Federal Agencies From Stockpiling Ammunition”
