China is claiming control over the vast majority of the South China Sea in its latest effort to challenge U.S. authority, and President Obama must make it clear that cannot happen, warns retired U.S. Navy Admiral James “Ace” Lyons.

The New York Times recently reported that China is quietly distributing official maps to foreign diplomats showing it controls 80 percent of the South China Sea, considerably more than it has publicly claimed in the past. Six different nations have competing claims for various parts of the sea, which is rich in oil, gas and minerals. If China were recognized as controlling 80 percent of the sea, foreign planes and ships would have to seek permission to enter those critical waters.   Continue reading “China ‘throwing down the hatchet’ with U.S.”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

The disclosures involving this (and the prior) administration’s Big Brother surveillance state, which would make Nixon blush with envy are now coming fast and furious (one wonders – why now: even that bastion of liberalism the NY Times, has turned against Obama). Although while the Guardian’s overnight news that Verizon (and most certainly AT&T as well among others) was cooperating with the NSA on spying on US citizens, so far at least the internet seemed, if only to the great unwashed masses, immune.   Continue reading “Meet PRISM / US-984XN – The US Government’s Internet Espionage Super Operation”

The reason for the constant demonization of the Aryan nation, Iran,  is to put money in the bank for those wishing to meet the oil needs of China.

We have all read the Maresca testimony which outlined the plans for the UNOCAL oil pipeline which set in motion the need to control Afghanistan. The pipeline was built and is in use now with US troops guarding it (and the CIA’s poppies).   Continue reading “Demonizing Iran to meet the oil needs of China”

Dear Verizon Customers,

Graham-080106-18270- 0005The Organic Prepper

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) must have studied his Police State Handbook before giving an interview regarding the Verizon scandal.   The U.S. government was granted unlimited authority to obtain the records of all telephone calls in the Verizon system if at least one of the parties was in the US.

All of the classic manipulative language was present to justify the invasion of privacy when Graham discussed the matter with Fox News and expressed his personal delight at being surveilled.   Continue reading “Lindsey Graham on Verizon: If we’re not talking to terrorists “we don’t have anything to worry about””

Joe Biden, Patrick KennedyCNS News – by Terence P. Jeffrey

Speaking at the White House National Conference on Mental Health on Monday, Vice President Joe Biden told a sometimes serious and sometimes jocular story about the two brain surgeries he needed in 1988 to deal with cranial aneurysms.

Biden told the White House audience “they take a saw and they cut your head off” and “they literally had to take the top of my head off.” He also recounted that as he was being wheeled into surgery he asked the neurosurgeon, “What are my chances of getting off this table completely normal?” The surgeon told Biden he had a better chance of living—and that that chance was in the 35 to 50 percent range.   Continue reading “Brain Surgeon Told Biden He Had Less Than 50% Chance of ‘Being Completely Normal’”

Monsanto Surrenders: Ends All GMO Lobbying In EuropeCare 2 – by Beth Buczynski

It’s almost surreal, but it’s true. Monsanto has officially give up its fight to spread genetically modified seeds and plants throughout Europe.

In a time when the power and political influence of Monsanto Co. seems nearly insurmountable, this is a huge victory for opponents of genetic engineering. For those in the U.S. and other countries where Monsanto’s stranglehold is palpable, it serves as a rally cry to keep up the good fight.   Continue reading “Monsanto Surrenders: Ends All GMO Lobbying In Europe”

The contractor in charge of the four-story building that collapsed—killing six people and injuring 14—onto a thrift store in Philadelphia on Wednesday had a permit to tear down the building. He also has a criminal record.

According to NBC 10 in Philadelphia, Griffin Campbell, the 49-year-old owner of Griffin Campbell Construction, pleaded guilty to theft and insurance fraud in 2009.

Dianne FeinsteinThe Daily Sheeple – by Daniel Jackson

Senator Dianne Feinstein has long been accused of corruption and unethical behavior in Congress. From going after the Second Amendment to making tens of millions of dollars through her husband’s companies, Feinstein seems to take unbridled glee in being one of the most corrupt members of Congress today.

Recently, a new wave of accusations has been levied at Feinstein, this time focusing on a deal that started in 2011 when the Post Office awarded the CBRE Group Inc. a contract to be the sole marketer of USPS properties. Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum, just so happens to be the Chairman of the Board of the CBRE Group.   Continue reading “Keeping It In the Family: Senator Feinstein’s Husband Stands to Make Millions from USPS Contract”

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) introduced the Patriot Act in October of 2001.

Sail leadEric Peters Auto – by Eric

How much is the EPA and DOT costing you?

One way to quantify this is to consider a car GM builds – but which you can’t buy. Well, not unless you move outside the United States – and beyond the diktats and fatwas of the EPA and DOT.

It is called the Sail – and GM makes it in China. It retails for 60,000 yuan – equivalent to about $9,800 in “federal” reserve notes.   Continue reading “GM’s $9,800 Car . . . The One We’re Not Allowed to Buy”
