Over 61,000 of these incidents have occurred since 9/11,
resulting in $2.5 billion being seized. American police are targeting their
northern neighbors, according to a travel warning from the Canadian government.
FBI Facial Recognition System Is
Now Fully Operational
According to MyFoxNY, the Federal Bureau of Investigation
just launched its Next Generation Identification program, which is made up of
two databases called Rap Back and Interstate Photo System. The Interstate Photo
System facial recognition service, according to a press release by the FBI,
“will provide the nation’s law enforcement community with an investigative tool
that provides an image-searching capability of photographs associated with
criminal identities.” Rap Back delivers criminal record status updates on
individual suspects of interest who might have found themselves on the wrong
side of the law in other jurisdictions.
Economic Patriotism: U.S. Ranks Near Last In Tax Competitiveness
As Democrats
clamor to punish U.S. businesses who seek more favorable tax climates by
relocating abroad, a new report finds that only two developed nations on the
entire planet have a tax code less friendly to business than the United States. Read More…
Brazil, Russia,
India, China and South Africa -- the emerging markets known as BRICS -- created
a bank meant to rival the Federal Reserve and the International Monetary Fund.
It's designed to provide an alternative to the dollar-centric institutions, and
increase the value of their own currencies around the globe.
"The next real war we fight is likely to be on American soil.
Our civilian-military face-off"
All governments need crisis, no matter how
much lip service they give to the idea of “peace.” Crisis is a well-known Machiavellian
strategy to gain and solidify political power and persuade public opinion.
Crisis provides the stage where governments can control all sides. We also
sometimes call this the ‘Wag the Dog’ syndrome, diverting the attention of the
citizen away from how the government is relieving them of their rights or cash
or both.
Conventional Wisdom Is A
Mass Illusion »
A recent poll by Rasmussen found that more than one-third of Americans had no clue which parties control the House and Senate. What a sad commentary that such a basic bit of information — taken for granted by this audience — is lost on an American populace so distracted by bread and circuses. More »

Injustice Department? Telephone call reveals Holder's lawless agency
A story that should have -- or would have -- garnered more coverage by
major news organizations failed to achieve its proper attention thanks to the
frenzy over the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria's murderous rampage, the
media's obsession with football star Ray Rice's domestic violence story, and
the media's knee-jerk protection of a failed President Barack Obama. In fact,
not one Sunday morning news show even mentioned how the Justice
Department attempted to conspire with a Democrat lawmaker to allegedly
sabotage the probe of the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative
nonprofit organizations. More

NSA Continues to Spy on Germany
It's no secret that the NSA's spies have been busy
in Germany. However, it's now apparent that their activities in the country
may reach much further than just targeting important leaders and suspects. Der Spiegel has published leaks showing that the US agency broke into the
networks of both tech giant Deutsche Telekom and regional provider Netcologne
as part of an effort to map as much of the internet as possible…
“I tell you,
freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead
the American people in — and the West in general — into an unbearable hell and
a choking life.”—Osama bin Laden (October 2001), as reported by CNN
Obama is Like Nero, Fiddling While We Burn
What a strange
and harrowing road we’ve walked since September 11, 2001, littered with the
debris of our once-vaunted liberties. We have gone from a nation that took
great pride in being a model of a representative democracy to being a model of
how to persuade a freedom-loving people to march in lockstep with a police
state.
What began with
the passage of the USA Patriot Act in October 2001 has snowballed into the
eradication of every vital safeguard against government overreach, corruption
and abuse.
The breadth of
global instability unfolding hasn’t been seen since the 1970s [or WWI and WWII]
and we’ve never had a leader so ill equipped to handle the global chaos we see.
John Kerry
reminds me of Neville Chamberlain during WWII, sucking up to Hitler and nothing
makes the world more unsafe than American weakness. Since 2008 we have seen the administration
more interested in spying on its allies and own citizens while brushing off
dangerous enemies.
My relatives in
Germany tell me the majority of the country no longer likes or trusts America.
In July, German Chancellor Merkel ordered our CIA station chief to leave the
country. Other leaders in that nation
chastised her for not being forceful enough. It is fair to say we have managed
to alienate our friends while emboldening radical Islamic terrorists.
Although not
reported in US news channels, Germany is growing its army into a EuroArmy. For the first time in history a European army
handed over part of its army to another…The Dutch Army handed over 11th
Airmobile brigade to the German military.
It is easy to see
why so many recognize the huger power vacuum we’ve caused in the Middle East
and elsewhere. Yet, many of our poorly
educated wish more of the same by cheering Mrs. Clinton on to run for president
– our nation does not need spineless leadership. Those who support more of the
same are just another special breed of idiot.
Finally, a new
trade agreement which creates a powerful trading bloc has been reach between
Europe and four countries in South America [Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and
Paraguay].
Ultimately, the
ramifications for our country means we’ll likely be left out in the cold and
will no longer call the shots.
Long
time readers already know how I feel about out our lack of leadership, our
incredible unmanageable debt and the un-Patriot Act – it is an affront to every
freedom loving American, which seems to be a shrinking class of citizen!
