CARACAS, July 5 (Reuters) – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Friday he had decided to offer asylum to former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, who has petitioned several countries to avoid capture by Washington.

“I have decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the young American, Edward Snowden, so that in the fatherland of (Simon) Bolivar and (Hugo) Chavez, he can come and live away from the imperial North American persecution,” Maduro told a televised parade marking Venezuela’s independence day.   Continue reading “Edward Snowden Asylum To Be Offered By Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro Says”

Elizabeth Daly went to jail over a case of bottled water.

According to the Charlottesville Daily Progress, shortly after 10 p.m. April 11, the University of Virginia student bought ice cream, cookie dough and a carton of LaCroix sparkling water from the Harris Teeter grocery store at the popular Barracks Road Shopping Center. In the parking lot, a half-dozen men and a woman approached her car, flashing some kind of badges. One jumped on the hood. Another drew a gun. Others started trying to break the windows.   Continue reading “Fear Spreads Over ‘Militarization’ Of Police In US”

Late last week, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) demanded the payment of $700,000 from a small farm family of ten and the destruction of 70 of their pigs at Baker’s Green Acres, operated by Mark and Jill Baker and their eight children. This action followed Mark Baker’s comments during testimony opposing a new rule at a state congressional hearing where he identified himself as owner of three hogs deemed illegal (because of their looks). He understood the new rule, called an Invasive Species Order (ISO) to mean the state would threaten him with fines, criminal charges and a two-year prison term and an order to destroy his animals. Baker answered the ISO by filing a lawsuit against the state agency for the damages and their reckless behavior.   Continue reading “State Demands $700,000 from Michigan Farm Family and the Destruction of 70 Farm Animals”

Last Resistance – by Frank Camp

Plato said: “Knowledge without justice ought to be called cunning rather than wisdom…. [and] Cunning…is but the low mimic of wisdom.”

Cunning is the name of the game in politics. Really—whatever you call it—the savvy necessary to thrive in politics is extraordinary, and can become quite dangerous. Unfortunately, cunning is often linked with high intelligence, but that skews the idea of what intelligence truly is. One does need to be intelligent to be cunning, but one does not need to have wisdom. And without wisdom, intelligence can be hazardous.   Continue reading “Parts of Obamacare Delayed To Hide Truth & Save Elections”

Ok kiddies; gather around, I have a riddle for you. I’m going to list some things previously available to a nation before the Zionists ruined it. Here it goes!

What country provided $20,000 to newlyweds for purchase of a home? Who paid half for a vehicle? Who made petrol 7 cents a gallon? If you wanted to be a farmer, who provided free training, free land and a home, free equipment and livestock, free seeds and money to hire help? Who made all loans interest free by law from the state before we instituted and evil Zionist Rothschild central bank? Continue reading “How the MSM got us again.”

Why is NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg such a popular fellow? Because he perfectly encapsulates what Progressives stand for: bigger and bigger governmental control over Other People’s lives, from big things down to the tiny things. This is what Progressives want, but notice the use of the phrase “Other People’s lives”. When it comes to laws, regulations, burdens, penalties, taxes, anything restrictive, Progressives always want Other People, Someone Else, That Guy, to bear the burden, never themselves.   Continue reading “Nanny Bloomberg Pushes Law To Force Composting”

Ever since the first knuckle draggin cave man sharpened a stick on a rock and shoved it another man who stole his woman, men have thought about armor. The purpose of armor is to defeat an attack on your person. You can’t use armor to kill someone unless you pull out your plate and beat someone to death with it. So being that armor is a defensive tool, how often is a minute man in a defensive role? The first minute men were farmers, shop keepers, and just regular guys. Their job was to assemble quickly and move fast. Advanced Body Armor Video   Continue reading “Does a Minuteman Need Armor?”
