The Politicians Are Scaring You Again: Read more on this subject: WAR News Story Source: http://fff.org/, by Sheldon Richman When will the American people learn? If in a republic the people are the ultimate check on government power, a gull...ible, easily frightened public is a disaster waiting to happen. Where is the derisive skepticism Americans are reputed to feel toward politicians? A high-ranking official and, say, CNN's Christiane Amanpour need only say "Boogeyman!" and Americans line up for orders. "Americans are increasingly concerned that ISIS represents a direct terror threat, fearful that ISIS agents are living in the United States, according to a new CNN/ORC International poll. Most now support military action against the terrorist group," CNN reported in September. "Seven in 10 Americans believe ISIS has the resources to launch an attack against the United States."

Hydros HY-X flying yacht features retractable hydrofoils

Hydros HY-X flying yacht features retractable hydrofoils: Read more on this subject: Transportation News Story Source: http://www.gizmag.com/, By C.C. Weiss Major shows like Cannes and Monaco have hosted several retractable hydrofoils, inc...luding the shape-shifting Kormaran and the Sunreef 40 H. Now, Swiss hydrofoil outfit Hydros has demonstrated its HY-X, the prototype of an eventual 41-foot (12.5-m) yacht that will be able to motor across the water or fly above it. It would seem that the race is on to get the first 40-foot retractable luxury hydrofoil on the water, as Hydros' planned boat is a mere foot longer than the design previewed by Sunreef. So far, Hydos is winning, having wowed the boat show crowds with the working HY-X prototype, rather than just a rendering. The design uses a retractable hydrofoil system developed in cooperation with French firm JMKoncept. The two side foils can be deployed into the water at the push of a button, lifting the boat about a meter (3.3 ft) above the surface for reduced drag, higher speeds and improved efficiency.

Propaganda 101 – How The Pentagon Is Trying To Rewrite Vie

Read more on this subject: Military News Story Source: NYT - via ZERO HEDGE WASHINGTON — It has been nearly half a century since a young antiwar protester named Tom Hayden traveled to Hanoi to investigate President Lyndon B. Johnson's claim...s that the United States was not bombing civilians in Vietnam. Mr. Hayden saw destroyed villages and came away, he says, "pretty wounded by the pattern of deception." Now the Pentagon — run by a Vietnam veteran, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel — is planning a 50th anniversary commemoration of the Vietnam War. The effort, which is expected to cost taxpayers nearly $15 million by the end of this fiscal year, is intended to honor veterans and, its website says, "provide the American public with historically accurate materials" suitable for use in schools. But the extensive website, which has been up for months, largely describes a war of valor and honor that would be unrecognizable to many of the Americans who fought in and against it.

I'm Never Going To Upgrade My First-Generation iPad — Here

Read more on this subject: Science, Medicine and Technology News Story Source: Business Insider I got the original iPad when it was first released, back in 2011. I didn't really need one then (does anyone really need an iPad?), but it looke...d cool. And I thought I would use it. Now that the new iPads have come out, I'm still not going to upgrade. In fact, I don't think I'm ever going to upgrade. And that's OK with me. Apple unveiled two new iPads — the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 3 — at an event in Cupertino, California, on Thursday. They boast faster performance, better cameras, and Touch ID, Apple's fingerprint sensor technology. The iPad Air 2 is now 18% thinner, at 6.1mm. CEO Tim Cook said you could stack two of them on top of each other, and they still wouldn't match the thickness of the original iPad. But the original iPad is plenty thin. And thinner doesn't necessarily mean better. It just means thinner. Read More or Make a Comment See More

"In plain English" he wrote, "they are pushing for more world inflation." His words, though accurate, went unheeded. The International Monetary Fund, which was established decades earlier, was to play a role in facilitating endless inflation. Half a century later, the IMF has overseen a tumultuous business cycle that came to a screeching halt in 2008. Big, overleveraged banks were on the verge of collapsing; millions of people lost their jobs and their homes; governments spent billions of dollars to maintain their welfare safety nets. The end result, which is still ongoing, is stagnant economic growth with dim prospects for recovery. Read More or Make a Comment See More

Aside from Aiyana there were also three more small children who lived at the residence. Although officers only had a warrant for 4056 Lilibridge Street, they made the decision to raid both units, throwing a stun grenade through Aiyana Jones' front window where she slept on the couch. According to reports, the grenade detonated on the couch where Aiyana and her grandmother, Mertilla Jones slept. Officers kicked down the door and, in a matter of seconds, 37-year-old Officer Joseph Weekley fired his MP5 into the room where a bullet hit the head of Aiyana Jones.

New Study Indicates That Increased Natural Gas Use Will Not Slow Climate Change

New Study Indicates That Increased Natural Gas Use Will Not Slow Climate Change: Read more on this subject: Energy News Story Source: redorbit.com In the study, Haewon McJeon, an economist at the US Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest ...National Laboratory, and his colleagues explain that using hydraulic fracturing technologies to process shale gas resources is not an effective substitute for climate change mitigation policy, and could ultimately do more harm than good. Since natural gas emits half as much CO2 as coal, many experts were hopeful that the recent natural gas boom could help slow down climate change, the authors said. While government analyses did indicate that natural gas did play a role in declining US carbon emissions from 2007 through 2012, reliance upon shale processing could hamper the development of other, more economical energy sources such as wind, solar and nuclear energy.

They filed a motion to stop the subpoenas, calling them "overbroad, unduly burdensome, and harassing," The argument started the motion for the sermons and writings based on if they are in violation of their tax exempt status. The problem is that tax exemptions are given to Houston Religious groups through federal and state law not through the City of Houston.

Earlier this week, Okanogan County Superior Court Judge Christopher E. Culp ruled in favor of plaintiffs, Steve and Kristin Devin, in a lawsuit alleging that the owners of the offending "ridgebuster" of a structure directly violated a view-protecting 1987 covenant requiring future owners of the parcel on Flagg Mountain "to minimize the visual impact of any structures on the Mazama community as a whole."

Leter Re: A Few Thoughts on Water Storage: Read more on this subject: Off Grid Living - Survival Prepping News Story Source: Survivalblog.com While living in the Colorado mountains, my water source was from a short stream running from a spr...ing. This filtered water was pumped into a 1,000-gallon tank in my basement. All surface water is subject to some contamination, but in all the years it was used it never gave me any problems. I finally had it tested, and the bacteria count was some 50 times what was allowed. After that test, I figured I was living on borrowed time and decided to do something about it. After some research and having used it on my hot tub, I decided on an ozone system. The advantage of ozone is there is no chemical added to the water. Ozone is just oxygen with an extra oxygen atom temporarily attached to the normal O2 molecule. This acts like a super oxidizer that kills any living particle it encounters in the water tank. This includes bacteria, viruses, and various spores, like Giardia. Ozone then reverts within a second or two to a normal oxygen molecule and bubbles out of the tank.

This Cart Proves That Electric Cars Could Be Powered By Radio Waves: Read more on this subject: Transportation News Story Source: gizmodo.com Researchers in Japan, though, may have come up with a breakthrough to overcome some of those obsta...cles by powering an electric car using short-range radio waves. The system was jointly developed by Toyota Central R&D Labs and researchers at the Toyohashi University of Technology, and it involves converting electricity into radio frequency using high-speed inverters, which is then delivered to vehicles while they're driving using a metal track embedded just beneath the surface of the road. The electric vehicle itself is able to then conduct electricity from the RF signal using the steel belts already inside its tires. The system unfortunately doesn't mean you can just flip on your electric car's radio whenever you need to top off its battery, but it does mean vehicles can be almost perpetually powered while on the road, reducing the size of battery they require, and eliminating the need for charging stations dotting the country.

Maybe that it occurred from time to time in isolated villages in West Africa, decimating those villages but otherwise generally containable.

Viking Ships et al: Read more on this subject: Archaeology News Story Source: arclein It was the shrill and outraged gibbering of priests, like the writer of this passage from The War of the Irish and the Foreigners, which gave the Vikings ...their reputation for being bloodthirsty savages. Clerics in holy orders were almost the only people who could write in those days, so not only did they give the Vikings an extremely bad press, they also exaggerated their Satanic nature in order to make moral propaganda: the Viking onslaught was to be seen as a divine retribution for sins, requiring repentance and, no doubt, additional offerings to the church.

Hollow Earth Tales and Thoughts

Hollow Earth Tales and Thoughts: Read more on this subject: U F O and Other Unidentified Stuff News Story Source: arclein Over the next few months, news of Thompson's expedition spread. He began to receive emails from media companies keen t...o report the story and many more from both critics and admirers. The sprawling book he'd written, which included his theories about Hollow Earth, began to sell. In December 2002, two months after his radio appearance, he posted a message on his Yahoo Group page describing an inundation of "over 5,600 emails every few days". He said his book, Cosmic Manuscript, had become a bestseller but he was pulling it from sale. "I have requested the book be discontinued even though it's still at the top of the charts in Canada," he wrote. Read More or Make a Comment See More

Deconstructing John Kerry's Big Lies

Deconstructing John Kerry's Big Lies: Read more on this subject: WAR Feature Article by Stephen Lendman Deconstructing John Kerry's Big Lies by Stephen Lendman Kerry disgraces the office he holds. He's an unindicted war criminal. He represe...nts America's dark side. Its consummate evil. Big Lies infest his rhetoric. He's been caught red-handed numerous times. He disdains rule of law principles. He supports war. He deplores peace. He's indifferent to human suffering. He's a monument to wrong over right. He mocks legitimacy. He's a world-class thug. He's Washington's foreign policy front man. Its imperial lawlessness representative. Its evil agenda. Its war on humanity. Its contempt for democratic values. "Has any country, anywhere on the face of the earth, at any period of history been so totally misruled as the United States," asked Paul Craig Roberts? Has any been more lawless? Ruthless. Morally indefensible. Evil beyond equal. "(D)evoid of moral conscience," said Roberts. "There is no evil of which Washington is not incapable," he added. It exceeds the worst of history's tyrannies.

Adam Kokesh Launches The American Campfire Freedom Tour Indiegogo Campaign

Adam Kokesh Launches The American Campfire Freedom Tour Indiegogo Campaign: Read more on this subject: Adam vs The Man Feature Article by Adam Kokesh Greetings! As you may know, I've done more than my share of civil disobedience. From danci...ng at the Jefferson Memorial to loading a shotgun two blocks from the White House and being arrested over three dozen times, at least when it comes to the flashy, headline-grabbing type of performance art civil disobedience, I've got a very entertaining track record. But that's not enough. In fact, it has almost zero tangible relevance to government! The most important kind of civil disobedience is that which actually disempowers the state right now. Governments don't exist in order to take away our rights. They take away our rights in order to exist so that they can rip us off. The most effective way to disempower the state is to keep it from ripping you off. The most important way to do that is to stop using the dollar as much as you can. Here's where to start: AmagiMetals.com. Liberated, Adam PS Please check out thefreedomline.com for bo Read More or Make a Comment See More

Arizona Liberty Update from Matt Papke

Arizona Liberty Update from Matt Papke: Read more on this subject: Arizona's Top News News Story Source: Matt Papke Hello Patriots! Fellow freedom fighters, Liberty is far from dead in Arizona. Although it has been a while since this newsle...tter has been sent out, I can assure you much has been happening during that pause. First, I know many of us were crushed when Ron Paul had the Republican nomination stolen from him. I know many of us were enraged when Rand Paul endorsed Mitt Romney. I know the sense of dejection and futility we all felt. But did we give up? I write you today to plead for your liberty. As you have read in the news there are major shifts occurring in our national government and beyond. The ability for non-US interests to influence elections and therefore our elected officials is greater than anytime in our history. If we do not rise up dire times may lurk on the horizon. It is up to you to be your very own Paul and Paulina Revere to your friends and family. There are more of us than them, it is that simple. Hopefully this news let Read More or Make a Comment See More

The Top Six Reasons Why You Shouldn't Fear Going Offshore

The Top Six Reasons Why You Shouldn't Fear Going Offshore: Read more on this subject: Economy - Economics USA Feature Article by Mark Nestmann In my nearly 30 years of helping Americans "internationalize" themselves, there are four giant ob...stacles I have watched my clients overcome before finally taking action: Inertia, fear, complacence, and hopelessness. All four of these obstacles are self-imposed, by the way. There is certainly nothing illegal about moving assets outside the US. Of the four, the one that probably comes up the most is hopelessness – the belief that it's "too late" to do anything. The idea that "no matter what I do, Uncle Sam will find a way to grab it." That objection has come up a lot more in the last year or so, now that laws like the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) have increased restrictions on offshore bank secrecy with respect to the IRS. Here's how one client put it: Won't the IRS just add up the total value of my assets – here and abroad – apply the tax rate, and collect (or confiscate) domestic assets as needed t Read More or Make a Comment See More

Houston, Texas: No Freedom Of Speech For Pastors

Houston, Texas: No Freedom Of Speech For Pastors: Read more on this subject: American History Opinion Column by Chuck Baldwin Thomas Jefferson rightly noted that big cities are the "bane" of freedom. And in a letter to James Madison, Jeffer...son wrote, "When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become corrupt as in Europe." Modern America is a living testament to Jefferson's sagacity. Unlike early America, the vast majority of the U.S. population now lives in large metropolitan areas. And it is the big-government machinations of big-city politicians that are leading the charge for America's surrender to Big Brother. Houston, Texas, is the latest example. Writing for FOX NEWS, Todd Starnes covers the story: "The city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city's first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court. "'The city's subpoena of sermons and ot Read More or Make a Comment See More

Ebola outbreak projections for the United States defy CDC's false assurances

Ebola outbreak projections for the United States defy CDC's false assurances: Read more on this subject: Pandemic News Story Source: Natural News Under the leadership of Frieden, the CDC has reached a state of delusional denial that stagger...s the mind, continuing to insist that Ebola cannot be spread through indirect contact (i.e. via contaminated surfaces). The droning mantra of the CDC has now become, "We will consider any options that help reduce risk to Americans." Yet somehow those options do not include air travel isolation -- a fundamental tool in halting any pandemic outbreak. The official CDC / government position The U.S. government has gone from saying that Ebola won't ever come to America to saying Ebola is now in America but is completely under control. Now that the virus keeps infecting surprising numbers of new victims, the new spin offered in today's congressional testimony is, "American will not experience a serious Ebola outbreak."

Fear-Mongering Ahead of Another US False Flag? (Part II)

Fear-Mongering Ahead of Another US False Flag? (Part II): Read more on this subject: WAR Feature Article by Stephen Lendman Fear-Mongering Ahead of Another US False Flag? (Part II) by Stephen Lendman Dick Cheney is an unindicted war crimina...l. He's guilty of genocidal high crimes against peace. He predicts another mass casualty event on US soil. Much worse than 9/11. More on what he said below. Fear-mongering is a longstanding US tactic. False flags are an American tradition. Both schemes usually precede premeditated war plans. They're used to wage war on freedom. Quash human rights. Eliminate civil liberties. Replace them with police state harshness. Post-9/11 National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD) 51 established coup d'etat authority. It masquerades as so-called "continuity of government (COG)."

Private mailmen are mapping Brazil's slums by hand because Google Maps can't

Private mailmen are mapping Brazil's slums by hand because Google Maps can't: Read more on this subject: Police State News Story Source: The Verge .... a group of enterprising friends recently decided to tackle the problem starting in Brazi...l's largest favela, Rocinha, using good old pen and paper. As Vice Motherboard explains in an article reported from Rocinha, a former bodysurfer turned census worker named Carlos Pedro, together with two of his fellow workers, launched a new private subscription mail delivery service called Friendly Mailman. The startup company was born after Pedro and his cofounders laboriously walked the streets of Rocinha and cataloged the structures that they passed in a paper notebook, using their own custom analog algorithm to assign addresses and differentiate between types of buildings. Their mail service has taken off, expanding to eight favelas in the Rio de Janeiro area. It accepts mail directly from the post office and then distributes it to participating households at a cost of $6.64 USD per month.... Read More or Make a Comment See More
