No one in this world, so far as I
know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help
me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the
plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. >HK Mencken

Government Lies about the War on Terror:
The Need to Spend so Much of our Resources, Violate
our Privacy & Curtail our Rights is in Reality a need to control AND so
special interests can profit off citizens.
Over the past
dozen years, we've witnessed the growth of a massive police-state architecture
in the United States. We have new internal security agencies (the Department of
Homeland Security)… a monstrous internal travel security force (the
Transportation Security Administration)… militarized local police departments…
"peace officers" in black uniforms. They wield machine guns and
even drive armored vehicles.
Here’s
an interesting statistic I've never seen reported in any major media outlet…
The U.S. National Counter
Terrorism Center released its 2011 annual report last year. Of the 13,288
people killed by terrorist attacks worldwide, seventeen (17) were private U.S.
citizens, or 0.001%.
That means out
of a total U.S. population of 315 million, terrorists killed .0000053968254% of
us. By way of comparison, Americans are as likely to die from a terrorist
attack as they are from household appliances falling on them. These are the
statistical facts.
In 2012, the National Counter Terrorism
Center released a report on terrorism-related deaths. It concluded Americans
are as likely to die from a terrorist attack as they are from household
appliances falling on them.
Of course those
who are profiting from equipping and arming, spy tools and technology, overtime
pay for all of these so-called protectors of the American way of life are
simply driven by GREED. They’ll tell us the reason why so few citizens are
harmed is because of their diligence.
More terrorists have been caught by every day citizens than government
agents.
It’s an
unfortunate fact too that fewer Americans seem able to think for themselves and
are unable to see what is happening, how out-of-control our government (both
political parties are too blame) has become in its quest to put citizens on a
leash while bankrupting the nation.
If you’re the
least bit concerned over how our country is being destroyed from within, I urge
you to get our survival package…

Ounce for ounce, large 33-gallon trash bags are among the
most useful preps you can include in your bug out bag, go-bag, vehicle kits,
and more. They really are a must-have, here’s why: “Trash bags are essential
tools for your emergency kits and to have stocked in your home. The list below
has the black…
I’ve seen this before on other YT videos-though not so
easily–but it’s pretty cool to see that it can be done. IMO, somebody has too
much time on their hands to figure this one out……
How to accumulate emergency supplies without busting your
budget
The Can’t
Miss Hunting Rifle…With Christmas
fast approaching this is a gift most of us would jump on. Instead of blasting away with costly ammo to
become a pro, get the TrackingPoint precision-guided rifle. Once you get a bead on the target, the
rifle’s built-in ballistics computer combines readings from a laser range
finder, three gyroscopes and accelerometer and temperature and air pressure
sensors to fine-tune the shot…range of up to 1,000 yards and comes with
built-in WI-FI and in-scope video capture which you can stream to your tablet
or phone…only $22,500 and up (I’ll take two)
Oh, and here’s another great
gift for the camper in your family…the Pale Rail, a packable brew. As we know, beer is too heavy to throw in
your backpack to hike about the woods. Pat’s beer concentrates fixes that problem
with its beer concentrate. When paired
with seltzer (the firm sells a $30 Co2 bottle to carbonate water) you get a
refreshing pint of pale ale - $9.95 for four packets. http://www.patsbcb.com/
The
Nanny State- Your Weekly
Dose of Government Misinformation
Conspiracy
theorists have pointed to several DHS solicitations for gear and ammunition as
“proof” that the department is in the process of creating, training, and
equipping a secret force, the purpose of which would be to suppress public
dissent – or worse: one blogger wrote that “Another possible conclusion
[regarding DHS’s ammo purchases] is that the bullets are intended to coerce
and, if need be, kill us.” DHS flatly rejects these conspiratorial assertions
as unequivocally false, saying that each and every purchase is in line with
past purchases and in support of on-going, legitimate, and transparent
departmental operations.
Much
of the attention on surveillance in the media focuses on the National Security
Agency (NSA), but there is not a lot of scrutiny on local domestic
surveillance. In 1997, about 20 percent of police departments in the United
States used some type of technological surveillance. By 2007, that number had
risen to more than 70 percent of departments. Experts in criminal law and information
privacy warn that the widespread use of advanced surveillance technologies such
as automatic license plate readers, surveillance cameras, red light cameras,
and facial recognition software by state and local police departments, combined
with a lack of oversight and regulation, have the potential to develop into a
form of widespread community surveillance, which ought to pose significant
privacy concerns to law-abiding citizens.
The
Parting Thought – Nothing to worry in the land of the free!
The government is prepared. But
they aren't prepared for your survival. The government is preparing for their OWN survival
Contrary to popular wisdom, the most serious threat to America does
not spring from overseas adversaries. Because the threat is from within, it is
much more subtle and ignored. Our self-evident truths have become neither. Our
history and principles have been cast
aside and denigrated by the public, educators, mainstream media, legal
profession, and politicians.
This state of affairs imperils our very survival; and these are
self-inflicted wounds…
National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order passed in the dead of the night, gives the government total
martial law powers over the population in a time of crisis or peace. In short,
the law allows a president to order that you or your family be thrown into vans
with a bag over your head, without a shred of evidence.
The so-called servant
of the people can now illegally (I say illegal even though it is a law, it is
unjust and therefore, utter BS) seize your water supplies, your property, your
food and guns…everything, in the case of a crisis, without a hearing, without
trial, without asking for permission. Posse Comitatus, protection to be free
from the military on your streets or home is long gone. (Of course, it's all
for your own "PROTECTION").
Former President
Clinton updated this order and Obama is merely updating it again to fit into
our new National policing authority, the Dept. of Homeland Security. Of course, there are those who do not believe
anything evil could come of it…
Not only is the reaction to this [Executive Order] wildly
over the top in some corners, but the Executive Order itself is nothing more
than a restatement of policy that has been in place in decades and grants no
authority to the President or the Cabinet that they don't already have under
existing law.
The Defense Production Act has been in effect since the Truman Administration,
and authorizes the President to direct private business to allocate resources
to national defense as needed in a time of national emergency. Since the end of
the Cold War, if not before, the Act has been used primarily to use DOD
contracting practices to direct investment in new technologies that would be
used for defense purposes, however it still requires the Executive Branch to at
least plan for the possibility of allocating resources for national defense in
the event of a national emergency in much the same way that rationing was
implemented during World War II. Now, fortunately, we have not faced a national
emergency of that type in the 50-odd years that the DPA has been in effect but
that doesn't mean that such an eventuality, brought about by either
international crisis or natural disaster, should not be planned for…
Does this make an
unlegislated act any less a load of government crap? Draw your own conclusion but the government
has a long, long history of exceeding the authority of a law they’ve created
(think of our over-the-top drug laws, asset seizure laws, RICO, the un-Patriot
Act and other excuses government uses to take a crap on the Bill of Rights and
Constitution, to bend existing law to suit their purposes…
And in case you
haven't noticed, MTV is currently running government commercials showing martial
law in action pulling people out of their homes and into trains, in the wake of
a natural disaster to prepare the population for what might be.
A drill they've been practicing in every major city for the past two years now
en masse.
Many economists are suggesting the
financial breakdown in this country will occur in 2013 or 2014 at the latest as
our dollar is increasing replaced as the world currency of choice.
