The Blaze – by Wayne Allyn Root

My life has crossed paths with President Obama on multiple occasions. According to Obama, we were Columbia University classmates, both Pre Law and Political Science majors in the Class of ’83. I also ran against Obama in 2008 on the Libertarian Party Presidential ticket. What are the odds?

But something about “the Obama at Columbia story” has always bothered me. Earlier in the week right here at The Blaze I wrote about having just returned from New York, where I attended my 30^th Columbia University reunion. I celebrated with my esteemed classmates. Everyone except Barack Obama. As usual- he wasn’t there. Not a trace. Not a video greeting. Not a letter. I could not find any classmates who knew him.   Continue reading “Ghost of Columbia – Part II: Legendary Columbia Professor Never Heard of Obama”

In the last week we have been following British and French’s desperate attempts to push for a military intervention in Syria. It is far from being a secret that both British and French government are dominated by the Jewish Lobby. In Britain it is the ultra Zionist CFI (Conservative Friends of Israel) – apparently 80% of  Britain’s conservative MPs are members of the pro Israeli Lobby. In France the situation is even more devastating, the entire political system is hijacked by the forceful CRIF.   Continue reading “Syria – Israel Is Losing the Battle”

In his recent bombshell story for Wired magazine, National Security Agency chronicler James Bamford writes that the joke that the agency’s acronym stands for “never say anything” applies now more than ever. In fact, it seems the NSA does speak. It says “no” quite a lot.   Continue reading “NSA Chief Denies Wired’s Domestic Spying Story (Fourteen Times) In Congressional Hearing”

Think Progress – by Andrea Peterson

Much of the initial coverage of last week’s leaks about the National Security Agency (NSA) online snooping focused on a content gathering program called PRISM. But buried in the Washington Post’s original coverage were a few tantalizing details about another program code-named BLARNEY that bears a striking resemblance to the one alleged in a prominent court case over the existence of a dragnet online surveillance program.   Continue reading “The Massive Online Surveillance Program No One Is Talking About”

Before It’s News – by Ambrose

After hearing President Obama assure us that the NSA employees monitoring our phone conversations are lovers of the U.S. Constitution, I released a great sigh of relief.  It is good to know that the people spying on us cherish our liberties.

This caused me to reflect on the many other ways our government is now acting to keep us safe.  I believe we can all come together as Americans and gratefully acknowledge the many government programs designed to promote and preserve individual liberty while protecting our lives.  After all, we wouldn’t want to lose any of our precious freedoms to evil terrorists, would we?   Continue reading “23 Reasons Why I Feel Safer Today In America”
