NSA Whistleblower: ‘We’re No Longer a Country with a Government, We’re a Government with a Country’
Former high-level intelligence official warns of “totalitarian” slide into a “controlled society.”
Habitual Stranger to the Truth
What if Hillary Clinton’s emails were hacked by foreign agents when she was the secretary of state? What if persons claiming to have done so are boasting about their alleged feats on Internet websites and in chat rooms traditionally associated with illegal or undercover activities? What if this is the sore underbelly of an arrogant and lawless secretary of state who used her power to exempt herself from laws that govern executive branch employees and didn’t care about national security? What if the law required Clinton to swear under oath on her first day as secretary of state that she … Continue reading →
Hertz Rent-a-Peep
Things necessarily begin somewhere. Usually, that somewhere is a backwater of some kind; only a few people are involved and the majority either are unaware it’s happening at all or they don’t care because hey, it’s not happening to them. Until, one day, it does. Over the road truckers were the first to be on the receiving end of speed limiters – and speed monitors – in their big rigs. And then came microphones – and cameras, too. For – of course – safety. It is always for safety. Because you can never be too safe, right? Well, no one really … Continue reading →
If a Nuclear Warhead Detonated Above Manhattan
Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles are believed to carry a total of approximately 1,000 strategic nuclear warheads that can hit the US less than 30 minutes after being launched. Of this total, about 700 warheads are rated at 800 kilotons; that is, each has the explosive power of 800,000 tons of TNT. What follows is a description of the consequences of the detonation of a single such warhead over midtown Manhattan, in the heart of New York City. The initial fireball. The warhead would probably be detonated slightly more than a mile above the city, to maximize the damage created by … Continue reading →
Presidents, Prime Ministers, Generals, Spooks, and Police
Not Theory … Admitted Fact There are many documented false flag attacks, where a government carries out a terror attack … and then falsely blames its enemy for political purposes. In the following instances, officials in the government which carried out the attack (or seriously proposed an attack) admit to it, either orally or in writing: (1) Japanese troops set off a small explosion on a train track in 1931, and falsely blamed it on China in order to justify an invasion of Manchuria. This is known as the “Mukden Incident” or the “Manchurian Incident”. The Tokyo International Military Tribunal … Continue reading →
Secession Denial
Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity Daniel McAdams said that the US foreign policy establishment is in a state of denial about Crimea. WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Washington’s policy toward Crimea is a denial of reality on the ground, and it will remain as such in the near future, Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity Daniel McAdams told Sputnik. “The United States foreign policy establishment is in a state of denial about Crimea,” McAdams stated on Sunday. “What will that policy be in the foreseeable future? Denial of the political reality that a part of Ukraine did not accept an illegal, Washington-directed coup d’etat and instead … Continue reading →
Water, Weather, Money
Maybe you’re brand new to prepping and not sure where to start. Maybe you aren’t really interested in emergency preparedness but your well-meaning in-laws keep sending you links to websites about the topic. Maybe you go to those websites and you see so much doom and gloom that you immediately exit. Maybe you say to yourself, “Holy cow, no! I’m not one of those crazy Doomsday Preppers!” (Maybe you’re the in-law sending the articles!) If any of the above apply, then this post is for you. It’s chock-full of links, supplies, resources, and information for those who are new to … Continue reading →
Political Mass Murder
For those who value human life and value some version of the Golden (or Silver) Rule or the non-aggression principle, the continuous wars of the 21st century are rightly to be condemned. Interventions, pre-emptive war, regime change, expansion of empire – none of these are justifiable under any moral code, yet for these reasons hundreds of thousands of non-combatants and otherwise innocent people have been murdered in the last fifteen years. I often remind myself that – relatively speaking and certainly not for those trapped in today’s violence – the world is relatively peaceful today…despite the worst efforts of the … Continue reading →
5 Nasty Things in Your Government Water
The public water supply doesn’t just provide drinking water, it’s also the water we use to take a shower, water our plants, and wash our pets. Water is essential, but the majority of our water supply is full of nasty compounds that are slowly destroying our health, whether we realize it or not. Without the proper filtration system in place, you are at risk of being exposed to a large supply of chemical toxins, including pesticides, pharmaceutical medications, and even animal excrements. 5 Nasty Things in Your Water This post is not just meant to gross you out, it’s meant … Continue reading →
Never Trust a President
Today, March 18, marks Grover Cleveland’s birthday. Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th President of the U.S., was the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms (1885-1889 and 1893-1897), to be married in the White House, and to have a candy bar named after his daughter (“Baby Ruth”). Cleveland is hailed by many libertarians as an honest champion of limited government and the constitution. True, Cleveland refused to inflate the currency during recession and he vetoed more than 300 bills. That’s more than double the combined vetoes of all presidents before him. He was also known for his advocacy of voluntary charity over … Continue reading →
Will She or Won’t She?
Will she or won’t she? That has been the question put forward since autumn. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen has been evasive in her language as to whether or not the United States central bank will finally raise interest rates this summer. Even establishment economists and financial analysts are perplexed as polls continue to show that a large number expect a rate increase either next year or not at all. Marc Faber: No rate hike amid weak data Marc Faber, the editor and publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, is in the camp that the Fed won’t be … Continue reading →
WaPo Will Kill Us All
“War with Iran is probably our best option.” This is an actual headline from the Washington Post. Yes it’s an op-ed, but don’t fantasize that it’s part of some sort of balanced wide-ranging array of varied opinions. The Washington Post wouldn’t print a column advocating peace to save its life — as such an act just might help to do. And you can imagine the response if the headline had been: “Racism is probably our best option,” or “Rape is probably our best option,” or “Child abuse is probably our best option.” Nobody would object: “But they’ve probably had lots … Continue reading →
The Empire Is Cracking Up
Washington’s EU vassals might be finding their backbone. Britain, Germany, France, and Italy are reported to have defied Washington’s orders and applied to join the Chinese-led Asian Investment Bank. Australia, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Luxembourg might also join. Washington uses its development banks such as the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, along with the IMF, in order to exercise financial and political hegemony. These banks are crucial elements of American economic and political imperialism. The Chinese-led bank will, of course, be much more effective. The Chinese will use the bank to actually help countries and thereby make friends … Continue reading →
