The New American – by Alex Newman

The governments and dictatorships ruling over the so-called BRICS countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — agreed to set up a new world bank that analysts say could further marginalize the increasingly unstable U.S. dollar, possibly helping to eventually dethrone it as the global reserve currency. Meeting in Durban, South Africa, last week at their fifth annual summit, the socialist and communist-minded BRICS regimes also announced their support for creating a new world currency and full-fledged global governance.    Continue reading “BRICS Regimes Forge New World Bank, Call for Global Currency”

In his State Of The Union Address on February 12, President Obama cited a number of new initiatives on which he intended the federal government to take action. The area that understandably caused the biggest furor was the president’s reference to his proposals for increased federal restrictions on private firearm ownership, which he had outlined the previous month in a national address capitalizing on the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.   Continue reading “Obama Executive Orders Nationalizing Energy, Food, Water, Everything Else”

I have had a lot of questions come in about the concept of the ‘Thermal Poncho’. I’m going to post about it here and I have also moved up my post on ‘Countering Aerial Thermal Surveillance’ from when it was originally posted back in October. That POST contains a lot of the detail on FLIR/ Thermal Imaging capabilities, along with a video of an Apache engagement. I recommend that you read these two posts in tandem and watch the video.   Continue reading “The ‘Thermal Poncho’”

It looks like they are trying to suggest that is was an coincidence or an attempted copycat:

The deputy district attorney made a 911 emergency call and reported that a man was at her door “behaving very erratically,” police said.   Continue reading “Another attempted DA killing? Intruder gunned down in Colorado prosecutor’s home”

Many citizens of Connecticut have been laying in arms, ammunition and magazines since right after the Sandy Hook shooting, already predicting the gutless, emotional lemming-like responses of their legislators. They’re now snatching up what is left on store shelves before these cowards violate their oaths of office and pass laws that are a direct assault on the Constitution:   Continue reading “The gun rush is on in Connecticut”

SEOUL: The North Korean army said Thursday it had final approval to launch “merciless” military strikes on the United States, involving the possible use of “cutting-edge” nuclear weapons.

In a statement published by the official KCNA news agency, the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army (KPA) said it was formally informing Washington that reckless US threats would be “smashed by… cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means”.   Continue reading “N. Korea approves nuclear strike on US”

Imagine how Rain falls from the Sky. It takes a very small particle of dust or metal or whatever in the upper atmosphere to start things off. This particle acts like a magnet for water molecules and they begin to attach to the particle. And water molecules love each other – they will take every opportunity to congregate and so when one attaches to the floating particle of dust or a metal, they rest will gather ‘round and want to have a party.   Continue reading “So this is how water theft works”

***This is an in-depth piece, that was a collaborative effort between myself, Ted Cronie, and others. It is meant to bring awareness to the youth in the community (any community), to be on the look- out for sneaky cops, and to know their rights.***

Through the grapevine circuit in the small, west coast town of Powell River, it was brought to my attention that the local RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) were out trying to recruit youth informants, to crack down on the “graffiti problem” sweeping through like the plague, apparently.  Continue reading “You are Under Arrest!

Michael Bane has canceled his show in Colorado due to the new Colorado gun law Hickenlooper signed (h/t Bob Owens), Magpul is leaving (although I still want to see plans and a schedule), and now, IDPA has canceled their planned competition in Colorado.

Organizers of a Colorado shooting competition have cancelled the event because of the state’s recently passed gun-control laws.   Continue reading “IDPA Cancels Colorado Competition”

Rifle Shooter has a piece up comparing and contrasting pistol caliber carbines.

James Tarr compares the Colt AR6951, Rock River Arms LAR-9, Lone Wolf Distributors G-9 and JR Carbine.  He finds pros and cons with each, but to me Colt is dead until they move to a free state.  The JR Carbine had forend components come loose under recoil.  Of course, this is fatal in my opinion.   Continue reading “Pistol Caliber Carbines”

Alt-Market – by Brandon Smith

Whenever discussion over North Korea arises in Western circles, it always seems to be accompanied by a strange mixture of sensationalism and indifference. The mainstream media consistently presents the communist nation as an immediate threat to U.S. national security, conjuring an endless number of hypothetical scenarios as to how they could join forces with Al-Qaeda and attack with a terroristic strategy. At the same time, the chest puffing of the late Kim Jong-iL and the standard fare of hyper-militant rhetoric on the part of the North Korean government in general seem to have lulled the American public into a trance of non-concern.   Continue reading “Will Globalists Use North Korea To Trigger Catastrophe?”

MANTI, Utah (AP) — Authorities captured an elusive survivalist on Tuesday who is suspected of burglarizing Utah cabins and leaving some covered with threats and bullet holes — ending a saga that began six years ago and grabbed the attention of police and residents around the state.

Troy James Knapp, 45, dubbed the “Mountain Man” by cabin owners, was taken into custody in the snowy mountains outside of Ferron in central Utah after firing several shots at officers and a helicopter, authorities said.   Continue reading “Authorities: Nobody hurt in arrest of survivalist”

The National Rifle Association has unveiled its recommendations for placing at least one armed guard inside every school campus in the country in proposals that were immediately denounced by gun control advocates as radical and dangerous.

America’s most activist gun rights lobby group presented in Washington what it claimed was an “independent” review of school safety standards headed by a former Republican congressman from Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson. The core recommendation of the 225-page report is that school personnel carrying firearms should be placed not only within every school but within every campus in every school.   Continue reading “NRA reveals ‘school shield’ plan: armed guards on every campus ‘will save lives’”

The Israeli regime has completely cut off water to Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank, local media say.

Palestinian media reported on Monday that Israeli authorities halted the water flow to 10 villages located northwest of al-Quds (Jerusalem).    Continue reading “Israel cuts water to Palestinian villages”

The central Arkansas spill caused by Exxon’s aging Pegasus pipeline has reportedly unleashed 10,000 barrels of Canadian heavy crude – but a technicality says it’s not oil, letting the energy giant off the hook from paying into a national cleanup fund.

Legally speaking, diluted bitumen like the heavy crude that’s overrun Mayflower, Arkansas, is not classified as ‘oil’. And it’s that very distinction that exempts Exxon from contributing to the government’s oil spillage cleanup fund.   Continue reading “US law says no ‘oil’ spilled in Arkansas, exempting Exxon from cleanup dues”

The Tenth Amendment Center – by Bob Greenslade

Progressives at the state and federal level are rushing to enact legislation that would ban firearms they claim are “military type” weapons. If they want to classify these weapons as “military type” firearms, then they have a problem, irrespective of the Second and Ninth Amendment, because a militia clause in the body of the Constitution bars them from enacting any general ban on these weapons.   Continue reading “Checkmate on your “Military Type” Firearms Ban”
