Syria’s main opposition coalition reiterated on Saturday its refusal to participate in proposed international peace talks, saying recent developments in the civil war had “closed the doors” to any political initiative.

“What is happening in Syria today completely closes the doors on any discussions about international conferences and political initiatives,” George Sabra, interim head of the National Coalition, told a press conference in Istanbul.   Continue reading “Syrian opposition again rules out peace talks”

Once again, we have a shooter who takes aim at innocent civilians, dressed in all black BDU’s, like VA Tech,

Giffords AZ Shooter, Aurora Theater, Newtown School. Also, there were reports of second and third shooters, different weapons used, inconsistent casualty counts, secrecy surrounding the shooters identity, etc…   Continue reading “Santa Monica Shooting: Another False Flag?”

Real Unemployment Rate: 11.3%

In short: this is merely a favorite BLS gimmick to push the unemployment rate lower for purely political reasons (to the benefit of the administration that makes the content of your emails the most transparent to NSA workers, ever).   Continue reading “Real Unemployment Rate: 11.3%? Nope. 29%!”

Despite Gov. John Hickenlooper’s repeated denial that the new gun control policies had nothing to do with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s harsh anti-gun rhetoric, phone records indicate that the two politicians exchanged personal phone calls at least twice during the Colorado gun control debates.

Todd Shepherd, an investigative reporter at theIndependence Institute and editor-in-chief ofCompleteColorado.com, reported yesterday that Hickenlooper got a phone call from Bloomberg on March 2, just two short days before the gun-control bills went to Senate committee hearings.   Continue reading “Bloomberg called Hickenlooper during gun control debate”

Saturday marks the 46th anniversary of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, a Naval spy ship in the Mediterranean Sea. The attack killed 34 American crew members and wounded 171 others.

The incident came during the Six-Day War of 1967, during which Israeli occupied large chunks of territory from its Arab neighbors. The attack on the USS Liberty was America’s only involvement in the conflict.   Continue reading “On 46th Anniversary, Survivors of Israeli Attack on USS Liberty Demand Congressional Inquiry”

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — The gunman who went on a chaotic rampage killing four people before being fatally shot by police at a college campus planned the attack and was capable of firing 1,300 rounds of ammunition, the police chief said Saturday.

“Any time someone puts on a vest, of some sort, comes out with a bag full of loaded magazines, has an extra receiver, has a handgun and has a semi-automatic rifle, carjacks folks, goes to a college, kills more people and has to be neutralized at the hands of the police, I would say that that’s premeditated,” said Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks.   Continue reading “Santa Monica Gunman Planned Attack, Had Rifle & 1,300 Rounds Of Ammunition”

The Liberty Zone – by Nicki

Lots of vets are coming back from downrange, depressed and downright traumatized. They’ve been away from their families. They need to adjust to being with their loved ones. They need to deal with the horrors of war they may have experienced. It’s difficult. It’s frightening.   Continue reading “Veterans and Guns”

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston resident Cheryl Strain’s inexperience with guns was apparent as she struggled to load shells into a 20-gauge shotgun.

Over the piercing blasts of gunfire in the shooting range, Strain’s instructor, Dan Blackford, patiently directed her on how to use her thumb to shove a shell all the way inside the barrel and feel it click.   Continue reading “Free gun initiative begins in Houston neighborhood”

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun violence group is launching a cross-country bus tour this month as the next step in its push for stricter gun control measures.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns’ bus tour will start June 14 to mark the six-month anniversary of the Newtown, Conn. massacre, taking gun violence survivors, their families and friends and law enforcement officials to 25 states in 100 days, according to a job posting by the group.   Continue reading “100-day bus tour for Bloomberg gun group”

Evergreen State Open Carry activists are today promising a warm welcome for anti-gun Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s upcoming gun control bus tour if it visits the Pacific Northwest, according to messages posted over the past several hours on the Open Carry/Washington forum.

The billionaire anti-gun New York mayor is busy today using his bottomless bucket of bucks to bully a New Hampshire senator for voting against his background check scheme, the Manchester Union Leader reported. He is spending $400,000 on a ten-day advertising campaign against New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte because she voted against the background check bill in the Senate; a measure the mayor wanted.   Continue reading “Open Carry activists plan warm welcome if Bloomy bus tour comes here”

Marijuana research is not new; nor is the research finding a link between marijuana use and improved health. And while users of the plant have been doing their own “case studies” for centuries (or more), I’m referring to the lab research that the scientific and medical communities seem to opt for. Scientists have been studying the plant for some time, but only recently has marijuana research become such a front-page issue. Now, as nearly 20 states currently have medical marijuana laws in place and two have even gone so far as to legalize recreational marijuana, the studies of this once-counter-culture “party drug” have taken on a new legitimacy.   Continue reading “Cannabis Provides Dramatic Benefit for Chronic Diseases in Recent Study”

This is actually a follow-up to yesterday’s report on the pushback from “low-level employees” at the Cincinnati office of the IRS, but an important one.  Reuters took a look through the transcripts of an interview with agent Elizabeth Hofacre, who named Carter Hull as an HQ-based attorney who helped craft the questions that harassed conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.  While officials like Lois Lerner, Steve Miller, and Douglas Shulman claimed that no one in Washington knew what was going on in Cincinnati until 2011 at the earliest, a misaddressed e-mail from Hofacre inadvertently notified a number of DC officials a year earlier than previously admitted:   Continue reading “Reuters: IRS officials in Washington knew of targeting in July 2010”

The Organic Prepper

There’s a sense of urgency in the prepping community lately that is at an all time high.  Between the global elite warmongers, the impending financial collapse as the government makes plans to attach pension funds, the new viruses, Monsanto’s GMO seeds running amok and threatening the world’s food supply, and  Big Food’s toxic food-like substances in the grocery stores with no regard for actual nutrition, it is clear that we are going downhill fast. The soothing ”everything-is-just-fine” propaganda is so blatant that even the most die-hard zombie is beginning to see that something is amiss and that a massive change is soon to take place.   Continue reading “When Prepping Just Isn’t Enough”

Despite countless examples that prove the contrary, detractors, debunkers and non believers continually argue that the Bilderberg group holds no power, and that it is just a talking shop for elite has-beens. Now yet more evidence has emerged that policy and secret multi-billion deals between business heads and government are formulated at the meeting.   Continue reading “Would-Be World’s Biggest Oil Merger Agreed at Bilderberg”

I admit I’ve avoided saying this for the past few years (it’s been well past time) but for some reason I always want to give the guy a flipping chance that he simply doesn’t deserve. Why? I don’t know, maybe because I figured the alternative was even worse. But now I’m not so sure.   Continue reading “Impeach Obama”
