    Yesterday I had the misfortune to get bummed out by videos psoted over at Russia Today, regarding the suppressionout in full force against journalists. And those videos had come about BEFORE the recent exposure of the corruption of the Administration. When reporters are under attack and could spend a lifetime in jail if they keep [...]

    Synchronicity – Earlier tonight, I was listening to a radio program about alternative methods of health. The moderator of that radio show mentioned a need for a Constitutional Convention as well.

    I recently discovered that in the EU, scientists don’t wish to even read scientific papers from American researchers, as so very few American researchers even know how to properly design a study according to International Protocols!

    Obama’s math on this is the same exact “Presidential math” that Clinton used when he signed his Presidential signature to the Banking Modernization and reform Act. That one signature cost the Middle class their economy. Proof of that fact is how less than a decade after Glass Steagall was eliminated by the Banking Act, the [...]

    That was my first thought as well – that those of us who understand safety wouldn’t need it. But as I get older, I “lose it” a bit. Just the other night I forgot the iron pot I had taken out of the oven was still hot, something I bet I wouldn’t have done ten [...]

    And in the first clip, we get to see that Bill Maher will turn on a dime and deny statements he made only a moment or two earlier. He said “Violence” when referring to the Muslims and that part of the world. Then when Greenwald said that it was the USA that was violent, Bill [...]

    I am a bit confused in thinking about this. First of all, hats off for bringing this to our attention. But surely a person can buy a saw, and then purchase the Safety Device and install it themselves? It seems to me that the developer missed a golden chance to get a lot of new [...]

    Wasn’t author David Brin here at Firedoglake not too long ago talking about the feature of these glasses, that it would indeed allow for full facial recognition, employing data bases full of info about everyone you encounter while wearing these spectacles? i find all of ths rather scarey, but Brin kept saying we were heading [...]

    Well, that is very good news. This impacts so many people – basically the world. If it were to seriously malfunction while the wind is blowing west to east (normal situation for much of the year,) you have all points east of San Onofre under radiation bombardment. And then there are those times when the [...]

    I totally sympathize. What is happening here in California is that the state run “Insurance Exchange” has been handed over to “Anthem.” This company makes it impossible to ever have anything but the patient paying the bill. You see a doctor, and then both that visit and any resulting consultations, tests etc end up in [...]

  • Thanks for this article on CNN. I rarely watch that little dirt bag production. But I guess it is good to know what is in the Propaganda my fellow citizens are swallowing.

  • Until the Executive Branch of the US Congress does some major changes, Illinois citizens will still find themselves under the gun of the DEA, ICE, DOJ, etc.

    Fed law trumps state law.

    Unfortunately, although over 60 to 70% of all Americans favor legalizing marijuana, in Congress, you’ll find that only three percent of our beloved elected reps consider marijuana legit. Of course, they are tied into Big Pharma and Big Privatized Prison complex, which pays their campaign funding, and their slush funds. It’s rather a shame that we have to leave the legalizing of this stuff up to the Crooks at the top of the pyramid.

  • It’s not at all absurd the you as private citizen had to spend more time doing the paperwork for your Nissan’s transfer than the Attorney General needs to spend regarding important official functions. This is a totalitarian and fascist state, and that is simply Standard Operating Procedure. The rule of law is to be enforced only on those of us who are normal, and rather useless, Useless Feeders.

    This is a new era of Government and Big Business. When a Big Banker wants a lot of money, Bernanke just sits down and digitally creates an account. How long does that take Ben? Probably less time than it takes me to establish a WordPress account. But with a lot more pay off for Ben and whatever banker he has chosen to bequeath with the digital money.

    And should a group of banks want a lot more money, they can all agree to robo-sign the documents necessary to prove to the Attorney General here in California that hundreds of thousands of Californians are willing to pay off credit card debt that is no longer legally required to be paid back. So what if that ain’t really your signature on that new agreement. Since these actions are a forgery perpetuated by those that Holder has deemed “Too Big To Jail,” so there is no need to consider how corrupt this nation now is.

    There is no need to legally protest any of this, plus a citizen’s ability to do so is now rather limited. Sit back and wait for the total Haitizatian of the nation!

    What total cynicism some people display. I myself was convinced that the Tsarnaev Bros were responsible for the Boston Bombing, the second I saw that Time magazine photo of the two of them admiring Lee Harvey Oswald’s rifle.

    And now we have this note. What further proof would any of us need?

  • It’s good to be reminded that sometimes things are what they are inside our hearts.

    Glad to meet a fellow traveler on the path that lets us escape, however briefly, the Outer Matrix. The Barbarians have always stood outside the gate, whatever gate there was, unless you go back some 2,800 years BC and visit the colonies of matriarchial goddesses spinning their tales from the Delphic wells. And when a [...]

    Thank you for posting this. If this was the same country that existed back in the early seventies, this would be Page One headline news, just as Ellsberg’s Pentagon Papers were.

    But alas we aren’t that nation any more.

    There is a proverb that has something like this: You can’t choose your relatives but you can choose your friends. Part of the dynamic of older grownup children involves the people they marry. If your daughter married a man who is more comfortable around women, you might be on the skids with this family simply [...]

    The only part of your thinking that I follow is the “Argh Ugh” part. Not that you probably aren’t right. It’s just that you are so well informed on this part of the world.
