Obama, British Petroleum and the Constitution |
It's gushing out with such force that they're saying we don't have the technology to stop it, after BP even bothered to check into it, while our lying, completely useless president got on national television and wailed on about green energy sources. And this, after he opened the gulf up for BP to begin with. And back to BP. First they said there was 5,000 barrels a day spitting out of the hole. Then it was 50,000 a day, now it's 100,000. A hundred thousand X 50 (gallons) = 5,000,000 gallons a day. FIVE MILLION GALLONS OF OIL A DAY POURING INTO THE GULF and that doesn't even touch the methane spewing into the water and the air or all the other toxic chemicals filling the water. full story |

Seattle's Blue Gang Extortion Racket |
The recent video of Seattle Police Patrol Officer Ian P. Walsh punching a 17-year-old woman in the face as she tries to help her friend evade him has caused much controversy. There is an understandable reaction among many decrying the young women's lack of respect for authority. This is correct, they do lack respect for the police, but the question is why? Let's start with the jaywalking citation situation in Seattle. As the rest of us around the country are now learning, Seattle is quite tough on jaywalkers. Even doing stings to catch the evil doers. All this, of course, is claimed to be for public safety, but is it really? full story |

Entering the Soviet Era in America |
Their military ambitions, in other words, knew no bounds; nor, it seemed, did the money and resources which began to flow into the Pentagon, the weapons industries, the country's increasingly militarized intelligence services, mercenary companies like Blackwater and KBR that grew fat on a privatizing administration's war plans and the multi-billion-dollar no-bid contracts it was eager to proffer, the new Department of Homeland Security, and a ramped-up, ever more powerful national security state. full story |

Majority of Americans Distrust the Government |
Economic uncertainty, a highly partisan environment and overwhelming discontent with Congress and elected officials were all factors contributing to the current wave of public distrust, the report said. The long, bitter debate over the healthcare law that Obama signed last month made negative feeling about govt. particularly Congress, even worse, according to the report based on a series of surveys of some 5,000 people. 25% had a favorable opinion of Congress, the lowest in 25 years of surveying, and 40% said the Obama admin. was doing an excellent or good job. full story |

Get Packing: Brussels Decrees Holidays Are a Human Right |
An overseas holiday used to be thought of as a reward for a year's hard work. Now Brussels has declared that tourism is a human right and pensioners, youths and those too poor to afford it should have their travel subsidised by the taxpayer. Under the scheme, British pensioners could be given cut-price trips to Spain, while Greek teenagers could be taken around disused mills in Manchester to experience the cultural diversity of Europe. The idea for the subsidised tours is the brainchild of Antonio Tajani, the EU commissioner for enterprise and industry. full story |

Obama On My Mind |
A shift has occurred in the Pentagon. Roberts Gates in the press is being touted thee best Sec. of Defense in history. This means the Rockefellers are backing Gates. When one adds the court martial against Terry Lakin, where he literally will be able to demand PROOF of Obama's passport, birth certificate and college loans to ascertain if Mr. Obama is legitimate or not for the light bird's defense, this is pointing to the Pentagon is literally not only at odds with Barack Hussein Obama, but is affording an opportunity in performing a very American coup on Obama legally. full story |

Ron Paul Can Be the Next President |
The news that a Rasmussen poll has Ron Paul running in a dead heat against Obama in a hypothetical Paul-Obama face-off for the White House has the pundits fuming. Ben Smith, over at Politico, can hardly contain his annoyance: the poll "is a useful reminder of how totally flaky early polling is," he rants, and "this is the Ron Paul who polled, literally, thousands of votes placing fifth in the Iowa caucuses," and then only breaking 10% after everyone but McCain had bailed. This evaluation depends on a static model, however: back then, there was no bank bailout, no insurance industry takeover, no tea party movement, and Ron had no real public record to run on - the 2008 campaign, in short, was a way for the country to get to know Paul, and the Rasmussen poll is a clear indication they liked what they saw. full story |

Texas Border Towns Fear Violent Spillover from Mexico |
Texas law enforcement officials are bracing for a bloody weekend along the border, advising farmers to arm themselves as signs across northern Mexico point to a new escalation of violence after coordinated drug cartel attacks against the military this week. In the northern Mexican states of Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, both bordering Texas, drug cartel gunmen used trucks and buses Tuesday to block approaches to military bases in Reynosa and Matamoros, apparently in an attempt to trap the troops inside. In all, gunmen attacked military targets in a half-dozen towns in the two states. full story |

Doug Casey on Anarchy |
Unfortunately, the govt. today does everything but these functions - and when it does deign to protect, it does so very poorly. The police are increasingly ineffective at protecting you; they seem to specialize in enforcing arbitrary laws. The courts? They apply arbitrary laws, and you need to be wealthy to use them - although you're likely to be impoverished by the time you get out of them. And the military hardly defends the country anymore - it's all over the world creating enemies, generally, of the most backward foreigners. full story |

US Down, Trans-Texas Corridor Up |
Canadian officials have shown renewed interest in a multi-modal trade corridor along I-35.

Officials in Winnipeg said it also intends to run a logistics and trade corridor to include rail and high speed highways all the way to Mexico as an Asia-Pacific gateway connecting to Toronto and Montreal. full story |

Army 'Showdown' at Eligibility Corral |
A top-ranking, highly decorated officer in the U.S. Army says he's now refusing all orders until President Barack Obama finally releases his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate to prove his eligibility to serve as commander in chief. "I feel I have no choice but the distasteful one of inviting my own court martial," said Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, an active-duty flight surgeon charged with caring for Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey's pilots and air crew. "The Constitution matters. The truth matters." full story |
