While investors across the globe applaud Bernanke and other central bankers for pushing stock markets to record highs, retail investors and savers in Spain are facing massive losses.  Markets appear to have forgotten Europe’s sovereign debt crisis and the woes in Spain: on Tuesday, new shares in nationalized financial institutionBankia began trading, closing the day at €0.57 ($0.74), marking a more than 80% drop from their floating price in 2011 when the banking group was formed.  The average Spaniard is suffering, and the situation has gotten to the point where on Sunday, a police officer stabbed a former Bankia employee four times after a heated discussion related to the sale of preferred shares in the failed banking group.   Continue reading “Spain’s Bankia Decimates Savers As Stock Plummets; Police Officer Stabs Banker Who Sold Him Shares”

In case you missed it, Senator John McCain took the opportunity this Memorial Day to cross the Turkey-Syria border and hang out with Syrian rebels. These are the same rebels with ties to Al Qaeda. These are the same rebels cutting out and eating the hearts of dead soldiers. According to reports, Senator McCain wanted to go further into combat but was not allowed.   Continue reading “Did Senator McCain Violate NDAA by Hanging Out with Syrian Rebels?”

WASHINGTON—The purchase of Smithfield Foods Inc. SFD +29.23% by China’s Shuanghui International Holdings Ltd. is unlikely to face serious opposition from the U.S. committee that reviews foreign acquisitions, according to former U.S. officials and trade experts.

In announcing their proposed combination Wednesday, the companies said the $4.7 billion deal is subject to approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., or CFIUS. Continue reading “U.S. Expected to Clear China Firm’s Smithfield Purchase”

When it comes to protecting the public from GMOs, Hungary knows how to get the job done: set fire to the fields growing GM corn!

Although environmentalists might at first argue about the ramifications of burning so much organic matter right out in the open, the deeper truth is that genetic pollution poses a vastly more serious threat to our world, and burning GM corn is the one sure way to destroy the poisonous genetic code contained in plant tissues. In fact, I hope to see the day when the U.S. courts order the destruction of all GM corn fields across America. And I suspect that if the courts won’t rise to the occasion, the People will sooner or later find a way to get it done on their own. Think “Army of the 12 Monkeys” but with a GMO slant.   Continue reading “Hungary torches 500 hectares of GM corn to eradicate GMOs from food supply”

In my “Freedom Camp 7” series I included a logistical auxiliary that made ammunition.  Traditionally resistance fighters need a steady supply of ammo.  The Israeli terrorists who fought against the British in the Holy Land even set up a 9mm ammo plant underneath a laundry, cranking out ammunition on a scale that a handloader (even with a Dillon on each hand) couldn’t hope to compete with.   Continue reading “Annealing brass, a rather good excuse to play with fire.”

Previously I wrote on the techniques for individual movement that we might be required to use during rural patrolling. I will expand on some of the factors that affect IMT as well as some other points of consideration in this article.

Volume and Effectiveness of Enemy Fire – IMT is not always used due to volume and effectiveness of enemy fire. It can be used both reactive and also proactive, I covered the reactive use in the last article so this time we will concern ourselves with the proactive use of the techniques.    Continue reading “Individual Movement Techniques for Rural Patrolling – Part 2”

Blacklisted News – by Lee Rogers

For anyone who has followed my articles over the past several years you probably already know that I have been highly critical of various figures in the so-called alternative media and patriot movement. Many of the people associated with these groups are paid shills, gatekeepers, useful idiots, scam artists and sometimes just downright bad people.

Important topics that don’t fit the controlled opposition narrative surrounding any number of subjects such as criticism of Abrahamic religions and Zionism are often marginalized or ignored. For years I have maintained that many of these people are part of a controlled opposition front which would eventually be used to start a civil war or at the very least provide a pretext for a militarized crackdown by the government.   Continue reading “Adam Kokesh’s Planned July 4th Open Carry March Appears To Be A Honeypot Of Controlled Opposition”
