The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

Were you under the impression that your credit card transactions are private?  If so, I am sorry to burst your bubble.  As you will see below, there are actually multiple government agencies that are gathering and storing records of your credit card transactions.  And in turn, those government agencies share that information with other government agencies that want it.  So if you are making a purchase that you don’t want anyone to know about, don’t use a credit card.  This is one of the reasons why the government hates cash so much.  It is just so hard to track.   Continue reading “Multiple Government Agencies Are Keeping Records Of Your Credit Card Transactions”

I often get asked about “how fit do I need to be to train with you” and my answer is that you don’t have to be very fit, because you will learn the basics, but that the fitter you are the more helpful it will be. I tell people that even if they are not moving fast on the ranges, they are still running through the maneuvers, the principles, and applying accurate fire to the enemy, thus creating and maintaining momentum. Let’s be realistic – many people are older, 50’s/60’s and are still doing this tactical training. They will invariably not be as fast as when they were in their 20’s, but they still need to be able to do the business if this thing collapses around us.   Continue reading “Keep Low, Move Fast – PT for survival”

In the three weeks since Edward Snowden revealed the National Security Agency’s widespread surveillance programs, the legislative response to his revelations on Capitol Hill has slowed to a glacial pace and public obsession has noticeably shifted from a debate on national security versus privacy to Snowden’s latest whereabouts.

Civil liberties advocates in Congress introduced a slew of bills in response to reports that the NSA has been collecting phone records from millions of Americans and mining electronic communications from nine major Internet companies:   Continue reading “Congress ignores bills to limit NSA spying”

An immigration judge has ordered a potential witness in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a Chechen man by an FBI agent last month to leave the United States no later than July 1, and to remain in jail until she departs, raising an outcry from a civil rights group seeking a full accounting of the man’s death.

Federal immigration officials arrested Tatiana Igorevna Gruzdeva, a 19-year-old aspiring foreign language teacher from Russia, on May 16 for overstaying her visa. They discovered the violation when the FBI and other law enforcement officials began investigating Ibragim Todashev, her roommate in Orlando, about his ties to the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.   Continue reading “Potential witness to FBI Shooting Inquiry Order to Remain in Jail until she Leaves US”

Actions trump lies. Evidence does not lie . . . so how has the American public been so brainwashed by lies, in light of so much evidence? Are Zionists that intelligent, or is the American public that unintelligent—and how did even that obvious question become a “third-rail issue”?

Totally uncool, our tradition of being outsmarted by Zionists even to the point of “Rothschilding” our descendants’ future.    Continue reading “Earth’s alpha predator: Zionist Mafia”

Micro-lenders ‘no risk’ to banking system?

If micro-lending is “not seen as a systemic risk to the South African banking system” then why “Moody’s sounds alarm”? (Ethel Hazelhurst, Natal Mercury, Friday June 28).

Maybe it’s not a risk to S.A. commercial banks, but it is a risk to local borrowers and consequently overseas investors, where Moody’s concerns are.   Continue reading “Behind Obama’s Visit to South Africa? Money”

As a preface, let it be known that U.S. wheat farmers are the last group of U.S. conventional grain farmers who have resisted and so far successfully stood up to Monsanto’s criminal planned GMO seed and food dominance of the U.S. and the world, despite continual bombardment by so-called “natural health” writers and web sites and Monsanto’s continual aggressive actions against wheat farmers.   Continue reading “Revealed: Monsanto unapproved GMO wheat was stored in Colorado until 2011”

The Senate immigration reform bill has been presented as an effort to resolve the many complex problems resulting from the Immigration and Reform Act (IRCA) of 1986. Whether the bill passed by the Senate yesterday will succeed remains to be seen, but what is not in doubt is the fact that the border security provisions in the bill, in the words of Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), read “like a Christmas wish list for Halliburton”and other big defense contractors. This is unfortunate, because the U.S.-Mexico border has become a graveyard for a long list of ambitious, technology-heavy – but ultimately ineffective and exceedingly wasteful – programs.   Continue reading “Our Farblondzhet Senators”

The Organic Prepper

If you’re new to preparedness, you may be reading some of the excellent and informative websites out there and feeling quite quite overwhelmed.  While many sites recommend a one year supply of food, manual tools, and a bug out lodge in the forest, it’s vital to realize that is a long-term goal, not a starting point.

A great starting point for someone who is just getting started on a preparedness journey is prepping specifically for a two-week power outage.  If you can comfortably survive for two weeks without electricity, you will be in a far better position than most of the people in North America.   Continue reading “Getting Started: Prepping for a Two Week Power Outage”

MOSCOW, June 29, 2013 (AFP) – Russia on Friday accused Washington of putting it in a “tough spot” by claiming it had failed to disclose revoking the passport of fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden prior to his arrival in Moscow from Hong Kong.

The diplomatic rhetoric around the explosive case of the 30-year-old former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor escalated when Washington blamed Hong Kong’s government of acting in bad faith by letting Snowden out in the first place.   Continue reading “Russia says US put it in ‘tough spot’ over Snowden”

Each year, 1.5 million heart attacks occur in the United States resulting in over 500,000 deaths. Another common, though usually less fatal, cardiovascular problem is irregular heart beat. Though irregular heart beats are not as serious as heart attacks in most instances, they can lead to serious complications if not treated. The good news is that nature has a potent herbal solution for each condition which will usually stop them in their tracks in short order.   Continue reading “How to stop heart attacks and irregular heart beats in their tracks”
