In the 21st century the two hundred year-old propaganda that the American people control their government has been completely shattered.  Both the Bush and Obama regimes have made it unmistakenly clear that the American people don’t even influence, much less control, the government.  As far as Washington is concerned, the people are nothing but chaff in the wind.   Continue reading “Fake WMD “Intelligence” and Orwellian Double-speak : Washington Is Insane”

The Economic Collapse – by Michael

All over the United States, frustrated homeowners are banding together, arming themselves and patrolling their own streets.  One of the primary reasons this is happening is because police budgets all over the nation are being slashed at a time when violent crime rates in the United States are increasing and many our our largest cities are being transformed into crime-infested war zones.  So instead of waiting for government to come up with a solution, many Americans are taking matters into their own hands.    Continue reading ““This Is A Glock Block” – Frustrated Homeowners All Over America Are Taking Matters Into Their Own Hands”

The US government is a criminal syndicate, openly committing atrocities on a global scale. The rule of law is a memory, buried in the rubble left by the false flag terror attack of 9/11, the manufactured “war on terrorism”, and the monstrosity of the Patriot Act.

 The legacy of the 9/11 crime—the greatest intelligence success in history (not an intelligence “failure”)—is a permanent state of emergency, a criminal military-intelligence-war apparatus (exemplified by the CIA, the NSA) of unimaginable scope and unlimited power, and endless war.   Continue reading “9/11 and the Military-Intelligence-Security Machine: Towards a Permanent State of Emergency in America”

Ernest Hemingway kept a submachine gun in his 38-foot fishing boat in case he came across a German U-boat or an armed marlin, so it’s likely that he would appreciate the utter lack of nuance displayed by the members of the NYPD’s Queens Warrant Squad who wear his words. A tipster passes along this “disturbing” photo taken outside Queens Criminal Court showing members of the squad on-duty, shortly after escorting a woman into court for a misdemeanor charge.

Aside from taking a moronic view of public service culled straight from The Running Man, the shirts appear to violate department policy. NYPD Interim Order P.G. 203-06, “Performance on Duty – Prohibited Conduct,” which was obtained by DNAinfo’s Murray Weiss last year, prohibits NYPD employees from wearing   Continue reading “NYPD Officers Caught Wearing T-Shirts Professing Their Love For “Hunting Of Man””

Imagine this grisly scenario: You’re driving down the interstate with the cruise control set at the speed limit. Without warning, your car accelerates. The speedometer pushes past 100 miles per hour. Suddenly, the car turns left and crashes into the concrete median.

If you are lucky enough to survive, you emerge from your wrecked vehicle and see crashes all along the highway. Hundreds of identical, high-speed accidents have taken place at the same time.   Continue reading “The Scary Truth Of How Terrorists Could Crash Your Car”

A frantic 911 call is shedding light on a police mistake that turned a lunch date into a showdown with officers.

A judge recently ruled that the ugly incident in March 2010 in City Heights was sparked by an illegal action by police.

In the 911 call, which is part of court filings, Shannon Robinson is heard talking to a 911 operator. She placed the call from inside a parked Pontiac Sunfire as she sat with her fiancé Dante Harrell and a friend.   Continue reading “911 Call Captures Escalation of Traffic Stop Based on Cop’s Mistake.

Philadelphia laid off thousands of school employees last week after the state of Pennsylvania continued its austerity measures against public schools. And while the state is essentially destroying Philadelphia public schools through under-funding (claiming budgetary concerns), it somehow found enough money to build a $400 million prison just outside of the city.   Continue reading “Philadelphia Closes 23 Schools, Lays Off Thousands, Builds Huge Prison”

A Virginia school board is changing its weapons policy after two 7-year-old students were suspended for pretending their pencils were guns.

The two boys attend Driver Elementary School in Suffolk. They were suspended for pointing pencils at each other and making shooting noises. Second grader, Christopher Marshall, whose father is a former marine, told his mother they were “pretending they were in the military.”   Continue reading “School Board Changes Weapons Policy After Suspending Second-Graders For Pretending Their Pencils Were Guns”

The National Security Agency (NSA) is in the information harvesting business — and business is booming.

That’s why the nation’s premier covert intelligence gathering organization has been building a million square-foot data mining complex in Bluffdale, Utah, that will house a 100,000 square foot “mission critical data center.”   Continue reading “Here’s The $2 Billion Facility Where The NSA Will Store And Analyze Your Communications”

Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns “No More Names” bus tour will make a stop tomorrow afternoon in Concord, N.H., a Members Notice on the New Hampshire House Calendar is announcing.

Obama’s out to rid the world of terrorists, one drone strike at a time. He’s particularly worried about those inside the United States. In fact, he’s so bent on ending their threats that his administration is listening to our phone calls, intercepting our emails, and desperately trying to protect us from reporters who investigate the Benghazi scandal.

Yet there’s one well known, unrepentant, terrorist who has managed to escape the President’s gaze.  We speak, of course, of Bill Ayers.   Continue reading “Obama should be tried for war crimes ….says terrorist Bill Ayers?”

Domestic spying capabilities used by the National Security Agency to collect massive amounts of data on American citizens could soon be available to the Department of Homeland Security — a bureaucracy with the power to arrest citizens that is not subject to limitations imposed on the NSA.   Continue reading “DHS hopes to get same cyber-spying powers as NSA”

As boys around the country (some as young as five years old) are getting in trouble for playing games such as cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians or for even holding their hand in the shape of a gun, Barack Obama’s Father’s Day picture shows him running around a pool… with a toy gun. Horrors! What kind of message is he sending to his children?   Continue reading “Obama Celebrates Father’s Day with ‘Military Assault Weapon’”

Claim unfair to be stigmatized for sexual orientation

Using the same tactics used by “gay” rights activists, pedophiles have begun to seek similar status arguing their desire for children is a sexual orientation no different than heterosexual or homosexuals.

Critics of the homosexual lifestyle have long claimed that once it became acceptable to identify homosexuality as simply an “alternative lifestyle” or sexual orientation, logically nothing would be off limits. “Gay” advocates have taken offense at such a position insisting this would never happen. However, psychiatrists are now beginning to advocate redefining pedophilia in the same way homosexuality was redefined several years ago.   Continue reading “Pedophiles want same rights as homosexuals”
