The United States is an exceptional nation, or at least it was until politicians and the general public found it acceptable that government can intervene in our lives, dictate what we can or can’t do and spy on its citizens without a court order or due process. Indeed, the U.S. was a great nation, but has gone downhill over time.

Last Thursday, millions of Americans celebrated Independence Day, a day that will live on as one of the greatest times in world history: the founding of a nation that promoted the ideas of freedom, liberty and non-intervention. No other nation came before it and certainly no other nation has since been established   Continue reading “Nine Economic Freedoms Americans Have Lost Since Our Declaration Of Independence.”

It seems that the scandals just keep on coming. First, Americans are abandoned to die in a terrorist attack in Benghazi and the American people are lied to about the attack by the President and members of his cabinet. All of the facts are still unknown and the cover up continues.

Then we learn that one of the most powerful and feared government agencies, the IRS, used its power to deny tax exempt status to hundreds of conservative and religious groups in order to protect the Democrats and influence the outcome of the 2010 and 2012 election cycles. The IRS also abused its power by using illegal and unconstitutional tactics to intimidate the organizations, their members, and contributors and to target other individuals and companies that it perceived as enemies of Obama. Again, many of the facts are still unknown, but this is clearly a violation of the First Amendment right of free speech.    Continue reading “Climate Of Fear Is Becoming A Reality In America Just As It Did In The Soviet Union & Nazi Germany.”

It’s getting to be a regular, sad story – governments drunk on power, corrupt by the business interests which keep the “elected” in power, hammering Mom and Pop Americana who are simply trying to make a living.

Enter Mark Baker, owner and operator of Baker’s Green Acres. Baker left the military about nine years ago so he and his wife could start their small farm, which is located in Marion, Mich. “Since then,” National Public Radio reports, “he’s put a whole lot of love, money and time into developing tasty charcuterie: salted and cured pork, derived from his hybrids of Russian boar and the heritage breed Mangalitsa.”     Continue reading “Michigan government demands $700,000 from farmer, orders him to kill his pigs”

The US has expanded negotiations with Manila and is seeking to build facilities and storage sites in the Philippines, as well as gain greater access to bases for its aircraft and warships. Bases the US is considering are all facing the South China Sea.

Talks for greater US military presence in the South China Sea comes as the territorial dispute between China and the Philippines is heating up. Since February, the Philippine military has complained that Chinese navy and government vessels have increased their presence in the disputed area.   Continue reading “US to get wider access to South China Sea for military warships and aircraft”

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) — a subject of fascination for many hams and the target of conspiracy theorists and anti-government activists — has closed down. HAARP’s program manager, Dr James Keeney at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, told ARRL that the sprawling 35-acre ionospheric research facility in remote Gakona, Alaska, has been shuttered since early May.   Continue reading “HAARP Facility Shuts Down”

A year ago, incumbent candidate Barack Obama referred to “the defining issue of our time” as “good, middle-class jobs, so people can have confidence if they work hard, they can get ahead.” Obama was hailed, in typical fashion, by the pseudo-lefts of the Nation as “arguing eloquently for public initiatives to save the middle class and revive the American dream.”

This promise of good, middle-class jobs was among Obama’s most cruel and cynical pledges.   Continue reading “Obama’s “Just-in-time” Workforce: 17 Million Temporary Workers in America”

Did you know that in china, people have created holographic UFO’s, and “flown” them over cities? The Chinese people really believed it was an alien spacecraft, it was completely indistinguishable from reality. Yes, it was a holographic “alien fighter ship”, and you can see it on YouTube.

The future is getting quite bizarre, and yesterday’s fiction is today’s reality, except reality is even stranger. Also in China, people have tested entire holographic cities, making an entire holographic cityscape appear on a river, indistinguishable from reality. There exists, the technology for holographic UFO’s, and even omni-present sound, real life sound effects that sound like they are coming from a different direction than the source of the sound.   Continue reading “Is the US Government Planning a False Flag With UFO’s?- Project Bluebeam”

Story Leak – by Anthony Gucciardi

Straight out of Russian news, Vladimir Putin has called for the nation’s strategic bombers to enter a state of ‘full combat readiness’ following the ‘snap drills’ that were initiated after Israel bombed Russian-made missiles within Syria.

As I reported on Sunday, Russia’s large scale amassing of over 160,000 troops, naval ships, fighter planes, and strategic bombers has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media — with only Russian-based news services really reporting on the entire event. From the Israeli bombing of the Russian missiles to the ‘snap drills’ calling upon Russian forces to enter this period of ‘full combat readiness’, it appears that only RT has been analyzing the situation and looking at what’s going on based on military sources.   Continue reading “Russia Amasses ‘Full Combat Readiness’ Strategic Bombers”

A judge has been found dead from a gunshot wound to the head in his chambers at a courthouse in Texas.

The body of Tom Greenwell, 57, was discovered by cleaners at 7pm last night – two hours after the court closed – on the eighth storey of the Nueces County Courthouse, in Corpus Christi, south Texas.

Police initially raced to the scene believing they were hunting for an active shooter, but were seen soon after calmly leaving the courthouse and are now believed to be treating the death as a suicide.   Continue reading “Judge found dead ‘from gunshot wound to the head’ in Texas courthouse in suspected suicide”

Over a decade ago, it was discovered that the NSA embedded backdoor access into Windows 95, and likely into virtually all other subsequent internet connected, desktop-based operating systems. However, with the passage of time, more and more people went “mobile”, and as a result the NSA had to adapt. And adapt they have: as Bloomberg reports, “The NSA is quietly writing code for Google’s Android OS.”   Continue reading “The NSA Has Inserted Its Code Into Android OS, Or Three Quarters Of All Smartphones”
