Just as public anxiety about the weak border security provisions in the Senate immigration bill was building, GOP Sen. Bob Corker stepped forward with an amendment to “fix” the problem. The result of his efforts, however, has been a “Christmas tree” measure, covering items far beyond border security. Breitbart News has learned exclusively that one provision of Corker’s amendment will allow workers who stay in the country past their visa will remain on the “path to citizenship.”    Continue reading “Corker Amendment Permanently Offers Citizenship to those Overstaying Their Visas”

Recent leaks reveal a frightening reality: In fighting terrorism, we have resorted to engaging in terrorism

This is a tale of two presidents – the one we hope we have and the one we actually have. It is also a tale of two kinds of violence – the surgical and the indiscriminate – and how the latter blurs the distinction between self-defense and something far more sinister.   Continue reading “A Tale of Two Presidents: The One We Voted For – and Obama:”

White House officials refused to comment Friday on a Los Angeles Times report that CIA operatives and U.S. special operations troops have been secretly training Syrian rebels with anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons since late last year, saying only that the U.S. had increased its assistance to the rebellion.

For the next two weeks Bitcoin users in the US will be unable to withdraw the virtual currency in dollars. Major exchange Mt. Gox cited an unusually high demand as the reason for the suspension, while customers worried the company has run out of cash.

Mt. Gox, based in Tokyo, Japan, handles approximately 80 per cent of Bitcoin transactions in the US and 70 per cent internationally. The popularity of the service, which allows customers to buy and sell items with relative anonymity, has led, indirectly, to the current transaction freeze.    Continue reading “World’s largest Bitcoin exchange suspends US withdrawals”

ATCHISON, Kan. — After most of the world’s population is wiped off the map by a wayward meteorite or hail of nuclear missiles, the survival of the human race might just depend on a few thousand people huddled in recreational vehicles deep in the bowels of an eastern Kansas mine.

That’s the vision of a California man who is creating what he calls the world’s largest private underground survivor shelter, using a complex of limestone caves dug more than 100 years ago beneath gently rolling hills overlooking the Missouri River.   Continue reading “Vivos Survival Shelter: Robert Vicino Says Kansas Caves Could Save Human Race After Apocalypse”

Maybe not. The next step for the U.S. in charging the former intelligence contractor employee is for the Hong Kong police to arrest him and begin the extradition process, but it was Ron Paul who started the ball rolling IN NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR, ‘leaking’ the information in the House. Like now, no one is listening and 56% of Americans (have been conditioned?) to think all this is all good for them!!

“It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison and yet not free–to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a psychological captive, compelled to think, feel and act as the representatives of the national State, or of some private interest within the nation, want him to think, feel, and act. . . . The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim.  To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free.”—Aldous Huxley, 1958   Continue reading “Backdrop of Terror (Part II of: A Bird’s Eye View of Contrived Terror)”
