Legalized Violence against Women in Afghanistan |
Obama, speaking to reporters after meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, said "President Karzai as well as the other candidates, I think, have shown that they have the interests of the Afghan people at heart." Evidently, the Afghan people he is speaking about do not include women. The following list offers only an abbreviated glimpse of the hellish lives Afghan women are forced to lead under the Taliban, and can not begin to reflect the depth of female deprivations and sufferings. Taliban treat women worse than they treat animals. full story |

An Opportunity for the Oath Keepers: End the Occupation |
The chances are pretty good that as you read these words, paramilitary attacks -- commonly described as "no-knock raids" -- are either being planned or executed somewhere in the U.S. Typically carried out by the military units called SWAT or tactical teams, those raids are generally triggered by a tip from a "confidential informant" -- a paid snitch -- and subsidized with federal funds, often through the "Justice" Department's Byrne Grant program. full story |

Stimulus Dollars Going to Accused Contractors |
President Obama and members of Congress told federal agencies earlier this year to avoid awarding funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to contractors with troubled histories of work for the federal government. But that isn't happening at numerous agencies. So far, 33 federal departments and agencies have awarded more than $1.2 billion in stimulus contracts to at least 30 companies that are ranked by one watchdog group as among the most egregious offenders of state and federal laws. full story |

Speculation Mounts over Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Bid |
CNN and the L.A. Times are speculating that Congressman Ron Paul may be about to announce that he will run for President in 2012 following the revelation that the Texan will speak at rallies in two key early caucus states next month. Paul will visit the key early primary state of S. Carolina on 11/9 to give a speech on "the future of individual liberty and the importance of the U.S. Constitution" at the University of South Carolina. He then moves on to Iowa, another key early presidential battleground, on 11/13 to speak to students at Iowa State U. full story |

It will further fuel concerns over a growing nanny state amid the deepening row over the Government's new national anti-paedophile database. full story |

Obama Administration Launches Deceptive Swine Flu Propaganda Blitz |
Increasing numbers of scientists and doctors are issuing harsh criticisms of the govt's plan to vaccinate (forcibly if necessary) virtually the entire U.S. population with what they claim is a poorly tested vaccine that is not only ineffective against swine flu, but could cripple and even kill many more people than it helps. The CDC's public relations campaign has been running "scare" ads that portray swine flu as a full-blown "pandemic" responsible for snuffing out countless lives, and which, unless stopped by universal vaccination, could kill millions of Americans. full story |

Jake Towne to Nancy Pelosi on Health Care - Are YOU Serious? |
Last week Nancy Pelosi, responding to a reporter's question of whether the Constitution gave Congress the authority to enact individual health insurance mandate, kept repeating, "Are you serious?" Now, let's give Speaker Pelosi the benefit of the doubt and attribute her impolite reply to simple disbelief. In fact, from her point of view her authority is unchallenged per a September press release, and many others such as Politico's Erwin Chemerinsky and even the contemporary Supreme Court agree. full story |

Gardasil Researcher Drops a Bombshell |
Dr. Diane Harper, lead researcher in the development of two human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, said the controversial drugs will do little to reduce cervical cancer rates and, even though they're being recommended for girls as young as nine, there have been no efficacy trials in children under the age of 15. "It is silly to mandate vaccination of 11 to 12 year old girls," she said at the time. "There also is not enough evidence gathered on side effects to know that safety is not an issue." full story |

Swine Flu Scam Reaches New Heights
with Obama's Emergency Declaration |
Despite a desperate $16 million media propaganda campaign on behalf of the federal government that is trying to brainwash Americans into rolling up their sleeves and taking the shot, a majority of people aren't buying the hype. The purpose of Obama's declaration is to heighten fears surrounding swine flu and create the artificial impression that the vaccine is in demand, when the opposite is the true. The government hopes this will create a herd-like rush to take the shot amongst the general public. full story |

Medicare Fraud: Can Government

The three dozen or so people that Barack Obama has surrounded himself with to handle this problem or that issue, and yet are not confirmed by the Senate or operating an agency created by Congress, are not really his "czars."

These commissars could not be impeached and removed from office because they do not, formally, hold an office. full story |

Obama's H1N1 National Emergency Declaration
Could Invoke FEMA Response to Pandemic |
So let me get this straight. The H1N1 virus remains mild. The CDC reports that swine flu infections already peaked out in mid-October. There have been no new developments in swine flu that would be cause for alarm and no reason to suspect huge numbers of sick people flooding into the hospitals. And yet, for some reason, the Obama administration has declared a national pandemic emergency specifically for the purpose of speeding the ability of hospitals to process large masses of sick people through emergency medical triage tents? full story |

Are You Ready for the Next Crisis? |
Evidence that the US is a failed state is piling up faster than I can record it. One conclusive hallmark of a failed state is that the crooks are inside the government, using government to protect and to advance their private interests. Another conclusive hallmark is rising income inequality as the insiders manipulate economic policy for their enrichment at the expense of everyone else. Income inequality in the US is now the most extreme of all countries. full story |

Barack Obama Sees Worst Poll Rating Drop in 50 Years |
Gallup recorded an average daily approval rating of 53% for Mr Obama for the third quarter of the year, a sharp drop from the 62% he recorded from April. His current approval rating -- hovering just above the level that would make re-election an uphill struggle -- is close to the bottom for newly-elected president. Mr Obama entered the White House with a soaring 78% approval rating. The bad polling news came as Mr Obama returned to the campaign trail to prevent his Democratic party losing two governorships next month. full story |

The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, "climate debt" -- because we've been burning CO2 and they haven't. full story |
