Despite Participation in PRISM, Microsoft Warns of Threat to ConstitutionNew American – by  Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.

“The Constitution is suffering.” That was the message sent July 16 by Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

The purpose of the letter was to ask Holder “to get involved personally in assessing the Constitutional issues raised by Microsoft and other companies that have repeatedly asked to share publicly more complete information about how we handle national security requests for customer information.” Continue reading “Despite Participation in PRISM, Microsoft Warns of Threat to Constitution”

United Airlines terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York (Reuters / Jessica Rinaldi)RT News

A 50-year-old man died of a heart attack at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday because emergency responders were stuck behind secure doors and unable to open them with their ID cards.

Gunseye Adekunle, a New Jersey resident, died of cardiac arrest shortly after two separate teams of paramedics struggled with the locked airport doors, the New York Post writes in an exclusive report. Their ID cards failed at the Delta terminal, even though the $1.4 billion terminal had been newly renovated.   Continue reading “Man dies of heart attack in JFK airport after security doors delay responders”

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter Says America Has No Functioning Democracy, Supports Edward SnowdenCarbonated TV – by Fatimah

Former United States President Jimmy Carter has reportedly come out in support of National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden.

According to German news source Spiegel Online, Jimmy Carter has not only defended the NSA leaker but has also condemned U.S. global ‘spying’ efforts.

Carter  said, “America has no functioning democracy,” while speaking at a meeting of the “Atlantic Bridge” in Atlanta. Ex-US President also added, “I think the invasion of privacy has gone too far,” Carter reportedly told CNN. “And I think that is why the secrecy was excessive.” Praising Snowden’s effort to help bring out the classified information through the leaks could be useful (and not treacherous) because they inform the public.”   Continue reading “Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter Says America Has No Functioning Democracy, Supports Edward Snowden”

40The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

The “coming economic collapse” has already been happening.  You see, the truth is that the economic collapse is not a single event.  It has already started, it is happening right now, and it will accelerate during the years ahead.  The statistics in this article show very clearly that the U.S. economy has fallen dramatically over the past ten years or so.  Unfortunately, there are lots of mockers out there that love to mock the idea of an economic collapse even though one is happening right in front of our eyes.    Continue reading “40 Stats That Prove The U.S. Economy Has Already Been Collapsing Over The Past Decade”

Cannabis is labeled by the US Government as a Schedule One Narcotic, meaning little to no known medical value. (Even though the US Govt holds patents that state otherwise) Marinol, which is APPROVED BY THE FDA, is synthesized THC. Millions of people are sitting in jail for using Cannabis raw, but it’s ‘perfectly fine’ to use the plant if the Government and their corporate owners take most of the medicine out of it, then get to charge you an arm and a leg for it. Why is that? I shall explain.   Continue reading “Cannabis Cures Cancer and the Government Knows It”

Another cop in Texas has been arrested and jailed for not only illegally arresting a woman but for knocking her teeth out in the process. The incident took place after the 22-year old victim had the audacity to walk past this cop after he had made a traffic stop. This is certainly NOT an isolated incident as the several graphic and disturbing videos below from similar incidents within the past year alone clearly show.

A police officer in San Marcos is in jail after arresting a pedestrian who police say didn’t break the law.   Continue reading “Cop Knocks Woman’s Teeth Out For Walking Past Him In Texas”

Alt-Market – by Brandon Smith

It’s a strange and terrible tragedy when a culture forgets its own history and identity. It is even more tragic when that culture becomes deluded enough to think it can replace its heritage from scratch; that it can conjure political and social reformations out of thin air, and abandon the centuries upon centuries of accomplishment and failures of generations past. To think that one can live without the lessons and principles of one’s ancestors is a disease – a mental disorder of the highest caliber. It is an insanity that leads to terrifying catastrophe.   Continue reading “Is The Safety Of The State Really Worth More Than The Truth?”
