RED ALERT: Its Official Senate Strips Americans Of Constitutional rights!
Not only did the Senate pass a bill allowing for the indefinite detention of Americans THEY REFUSED to pass an amendment to that bill which would have prevented the indefinite detention of American citizens....Worse yet... some members Congress have come out and said the the language of the bill was written to be DELIBERATELY DECEPTIVE to the American people to allow for the denial of their due process...AND....They are Considering Bill Authorizing More Torture
If you protest as is your right and happen to have a pocket knife in your pocket, you have just taken up arms against the United States....you could find yourself in a FEMA Camp for as long as some bureaucrat/plutocrat wants to keep you there WITHOUT THE RIGHT TO A LAWYER OR THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT!
The Supreme Court has recently ruled there is no bar to the United States holding one of its own citizens as an enemy combatant....This is it folks....If you can't see the Tyranny come Fascism by now....go back to sleep until they come for YOU...

How They Propagandize You Again And Again With The Same Tricks
George Orwell saw these tricks over 50 years ago and warned us what they were doing....BUT...People get confused when things that happen around them and to them, or which are done in their name, that cannot be properly grasped, understood or made sense of. Normally, such confusion leads to inaction....The people who orchestrate the events in the world know this...The banksters/Illuminati/Globalist have used these same tricks for over 1,000 years and we ALWAYS fall for them...HELLO - ITS TIME TO WAKE UP!
Today, mainstream media coverage uses programmed distortion, confusion, even outright lying when its Money Power masters order it to support the “official story” on any major political, economic and especially financial maters. When one looks closely, however, the “official story” of things can be seen to be inaccurate, misleading, often hardly believable if not downright stupid.
Examples of this:
Iraq’s inexistent WMD’s leading to the invasion and destruction of that country.
Global mega-banker bail-outs with taxpayer money
“We-killed-Osama-Bin-Laden-and-dumped-his-body-into-the-sea.”
And the wide array of “whodunits” surrounding 9/11 in New York and Washington, 7/7 in London, the AMIA/Israeli Embassy attacks in Buenos Aires in 1992/1994, and – of course – that all time favorite: who shot JFK…?
“Newspeak” is the tool used over and over and has been virtually unstoppable since the printing press/radio/TV were invented....How does it work?
If the Global Power Elite....working through the governments of the US, UK, EU and others into which they are deeply embedded, and joint-venturing with a wide array of media outlets, defense companies, oil companies, security and construction companies, and powerful lobbies....decide that they wish to overrun and destroy a specific country... Libya, for example...
FIRST: They they must ensure that 'the international community' will just quietly look on (except for the still relatively small minority of voices that are increasingly raising hell against them)
They use their tried and true 'Mainstream Media Country Destruction Guide'
1. They start by targeting a country ripe for “Regime Change”, and brand it a “rogue state”... then..
2. They arm, train, finance local terrorist groups through CIA, MI6, Mossad, Al-Qaeda (a CIA operation), drug cartels (often CIA operations) and call them “freedom fighters”
3. Mock UN Security Council Resolutions are staged that rain death and destruction upon millions of civilians...they call it “UN sanctions to protect civilians”
4. They spread flagrant lies through their “newsrooms” and paid journalists, and call it "the international community’s concerns" expressed by prestigious spokespeople and analysts....
5. They bomb, invade and begin to control the target country and call it “liberation."
6. As the target country falls fully under their control, they impose “the kind of democracy that we want to see” (as Hillary Clinton before visiting Egypt and Tunisia on March 10, 2011)... until finally
7. The Banksters steal appetizing oil, mineral and agricultural reserves handing them over to Global Power Elite corporations, and impose unnecessary private banking debt and call it “foreign investment and reconstruction.”
If your are reading this YOU have seen this play out at LEAST 5 times in the last 10 years...
They ALWAYS use Force and Hypocrisy, which they have used time and again to destroy entire countries, always in the name of “freedom”, “democracy”, “peace” and “human rights”. Utmost force and violence is used to achieve their ends and goals.
Do NOT confuse this with "Protecting Our National Interest"...this is the Globalst using YOUR opinion and OUR governments to steal and consolidate power into THEIR hands.....They are VERY good at this ....arn't they?
REMEMBER its always bombing people to smithereens... Always, of course, in the name of “freedom”, “democracy”, “peace” and “human rights”
Will YOU fall for this EVER again and support the very people who want to enslave you?

Max Keiser Called It 8 Months Ago Now Its Happening
Max said this was coming back in March of this year...of course no Lame Stream Media HERE in the US dare put Max on. even though he has been right 99% of the time since 2007 when he was first to call the housing melt down...
So here is yesterdays Yahoo lead story...
"The world is watching Europe, waiting upon a solution. It's not just the euro that's at stake. If the euro fails, so too does the 27-nation European Union. Bank lending would freeze, stock markets would likely crash, and Europe's economies would follow. Nations in the euro-zone would see their economic output decline, though temporarily, by as much as 50%, according to UBS forecasters. That economic meltdown would then spread to the U.S. and Asia, who would find themselves caught up in the credit freeze while their exports to Europe would collapse." See Story Here
Max called this global economic coup that has seen entire nations virtually taken over by global economic coup that has seen entire nations virtually taken over by criminal banksters.
While our presstitutes and propaganda media are now using words like 'global phenomenon,' what they fail to explain, however, is that this is technically not even a scene of a failed fiscal policy... it's actually a global crime scene.
The ONLY TV/Radio Station to carry Max in the US is Prison Plant TV - a station started by Alex Jones to get the truth out - here is the latest by Max and Alex...

Why Some US Soldiers Will Follow Illegal Orders to Arrest and Shoot Americans
Those who ignore history may find themselves facing death at the hands of their supposed 'protectors of liberty.' Anyone heard of Leon Trotsky? This murderous blood thirsty madman gave the order to his henchmen to detain the family members of Russian soldiers living on military bases. If the soldiers did not follow the orders to go out and arrest and murder as ordered. They would kill a family member or execute the family altogether as a consequence if the soldier did not obey. This is how they kept soldiers from becoming deserters because they did not want to serve a tyrannical regime under Lenin. So they would hold their family hostage under threat of duress. This is how they were able to get the soldiers to seize the food out of the Ukraine. This is how famines were started in the other Russian provinces that once were the breadbasket of Europe. Millions of people died of starvation and soldiers were ordered mow down unarmed civilians eating acorns in the snow. If they did not obey, the family could be executed. When the government has a gun to a family member's head, soldier will comply with what is ordered to do if he wanted to see their loved ones alive.
We are seeing the playbook of the Bolsheviks is being carried out to use once again. Why does the White House want Military personal to surrender their firearms off base and on post? It is because if the soldiers are disarmed in their homes on base. Foreign troops or a select group of people could be the ones who will hold the families hostage on base while soldiers are forced to go out and shoot Americans. If the Military is armed with firearms in their own possession to defend themselves. It is impossible for them to try such an act against their families. This is why I recommend soldiers send their families back to their hometowns were they are best protected. Not in town near to the base in town. I mean back home were their home of record is. To all soldiers, to the marines, do not surrender your firearms under any circumstance and send your families home now.....
This proposed Legislation in the US Senate up for a full vote today....See It Here
Why do Americans think they are immune from history....If you think this ...THINK AGAIN.....It has happened many times in world history.....

Stamping out the menace of counterfeit pro football jerseys
Oh by all means lets rid the world of the scourge of fake football shirts, while the Wall Street CEOs that wrecked the whole of western banking with what even Alan Greenspan says is fraud and criminality walk free, sneering at the Occupy Wall Steet protesters....
With much fanfare, the Dept of Justice today announced the seizure of 150 Internet domains trafficking in counterfeit merchandise.

Quote De Jour
"To maintain this position of disparity (U.S. economic--military supremacy)... we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day--dreaming.... We should cease to talk about vague and... unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standard and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts.... The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better." - George Kennan [Director of Policy Planning U.S. State Department 1948]
A FEMA RESCUE camp is ready and waiting for you
As the Fascism deepens the U.S. Senate is moving to enact a law that would allow military troops to march on U.S. soil and arrest American citizens with no due process, no trial, no legal representation and no protection under the Bill of Rights. Americans could be thrown in secret military prisons, interrogated, tortured and held indefinitely without ever being charged with a crime!
The new "National Defense Authorization Act" (S.1867) features a section called the "worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial" provision.....Sen. Lindsey Graham even explained in plain language that the bill is being written to detain American citizens anywhere in America! His words on the Senate floor: "...SEC:1031, the statement of authority to detain, does apply to American citizens and it designates the world as the battlefield, including the homeland."
This legislation, not surprisingly, was drafted by the globalist traitors Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.). Sen. McCain, himself a prisoner of war in Vietnam, apparently believes not enough Americans have yet experienced what it's like to be held under a tyrannical regime with no legal rights. So now he's making sure the U.S. government acts almost as if it were the North Vietnamese, or North Korea for that matter. How bad is it? Even in North Korea, the police don't feel your genitals at checkpoints. That's uniquely a USA form of "sexually perverse tyranny.
When the U.S. Senate fronts a bill that, in plain language, authorizes the use of the military to conduct secret arrests of American citizens on any "battlefield," including the "battlefield" right outside your front door, the tyranny is no longer a theory,...it's an historical fact! It's time we all woke up to the nightmare reality and did something about it for a change. Beating and pepper spraying protesters or shooting them with rubber bullets (which can kill) is just the beginning....This may be our final chance to stop this....

PROPAGANDA ALERT: Unemployment experts say the government can't do much about unemployment if there is no consumer demand
This is more "blame the people" propaganda! The demands of consumers are being met with products manufactured overseas to allow the corporations higher profits. When the jobs come back (along with better quality products) demand will come back as well. This article is just a pathetic attempt by Wall Street to dodge the responsibility for the epidemic of offshoring that exacerbated the crisis brought on by the mortgage-backed securities fraud.
Frosty the Snowman' arrested at Maryland parade
(AP) - Who says "Frosty the Snowman" has to be jolly?
A man in a "Frosty the Snowman" costume was arrested Saturday during the annual Christmas parade in Chestertown, on Maryland's Eastern Shore. He's accused of scuffling with police and kicking at a police dog.
Sgt. John A. Dolgos tells The Star Democrat of Easton that 52-year-old Kevin Michael Walsh became agitated when a dog-handling officer tried to escort him away from the crowd.
Walsh told The Associated Press that he has dressed as Frosty in the parade for at least 10 years. He says he was wrongfully arrested.
He says an officer hassled him after he remarked about the police dog's presence. He says he became agitated only after getting arrested.
Walsh was released on his own recognizance.

Petition to pepper-spray Fox News
Ms. Kelly, on November 21, you told Bill O'Reilly that pepper spray (as used by Lt. John Pike to assault the UC Davis protestors) is "a food product, essentially." That was, of course, ridiculous.
While you allowed that the spray was "abrasive and intrusive", you wondered if it had been diluted (reportedly, it hadn't).
To back up your claim that pepper spray is a food product, please consume as much of it as was sprayed on each protestor's face, in one sitting, on camera at Fox News. You may mix the spray with one serving of food or drink, as I am not a sadist. Then, please relate the effects to your audience.

Thought De Jour
Any five-year old boy knows that if you put ten marbles into a tin can, you can only take ten marbles back out. Global bankers operate on the belief that they can put ten marbles (dollars) into a tin can (the world) and magically get 11 marbles back out. Thus, the bankers are dumber than five-year old boys! But unlike five-year old boys, the bankers will take your home, your business, and your nation when they don't get that eleventh marble! And after all that mayhem brought down on the occupants of the tin can there still will be no eleventh marble. It does not exist. It never did, and it never will. That is the ultimate doom of debt-based currency systems. In ages to come economists will look back at this failed experiment in debt-based currency and dump it into the same catagory of human stupidity as Tulipmania and the Great South Seas Company.....

Stockton CA - 5-year-old handcuffed and charged with battery
A Californian five-year-old was handcuffed and charged with battery after allegedly kicking a police officer in the knee.
Michael Davis had his hands tied behind his back with zip ties and was driven in a police car to psychiatric hospital after apparently lashing out at the officer during a meeting at his primary school.
Michael had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and his teachers suggested that he meet with a school police officer, Lieutenant Frank Gordo, in the hope that a uniformed presence might curb his disruptive behaviour.

Senators Demand the Military Lock Up American Citizens in a “Battlefield” They Define as Being Right Outside Your Window
The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. Even Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) raised his concerns about the NDAA detention provisions during last night’s Republican debate. The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself.
THE RETURN OF DEBTORS PRISONS
As if life wasn't already tense enough for Americans who can't pay their debts, collection agencies are now taking advantage of archaic state laws to have some debtors arrested and sent to jail.
More than one-third of US states allow debtors to be arrested and jailed, says Jessica Silver-Greenberg in the Wall Street Journal.
Judges typically grant arrest warrants when the debtors have failed to show up for court dates or failed to make court-ordered payments.
Of course, the reason debtors have failed to make court-ordered payments is often the same reason they didn't pay their debts in the first place: They don't have any money.

FLASHBACK: How WE Armed Iran By Secret Arrangement
Iran-contra affair, in U.S. history, secret arrangement in the 1980s to provide funds to the Nicaraguan contra rebels from profits gained by selling arms to Iran. The Iran-contra affair was the product of two separate initiatives during the administration of President Ronald Reagan. The first was a commitment to aid the contras who were conducting a guerrilla war against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. The second was to placate “moderates” within the Iranian government in order to secure the release of American hostages held by pro-Iranian groups in Lebanon and to influence Iranian foreign policy in a pro-Western direction.
Despite the strong opposition of the Reagan administration, the Democratic-controlled Congress enacted legislation, known as the Boland amendments, that prohibited the Defense Dept., the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or any other government agency from providing military aid to the contras from Dec., 1983, to Sept., 1985. The Reagan administration circumvented these limitations by using the National Security Council (NSC), which was not explicitly covered by the law, to supervise covert military aid to the contras. Under Robert McFarlane (1983–85) and John Poindexter (1985–86) the NSC raised private and foreign funds for the contras. This operation was directed by NSC staffer Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North. McFarlane and North were also the central figures in the plan to secretly ship arms to Iran despite a U.S. trade and arms embargo.
In early Nov., 1986, the scandal broke when reports in Lebanese newspapers forced the Reagan administration to disclose the arms deals. Poindexter resigned before the end of the month; North was fired. Select congressional committees held joint hearings, and in Dec., 1986, Lawrence E. Walsh was named as special prosecutor to investigate the affair. Higher administration officials, particularly Reagan, Vice President Bush, and William J. Casey (former director of the CIA, who died in May, 1987), were implicated in some testimony, but the extent of their involvement remained unclear. North said he believed Reagan was largely aware of the secret arrangement, and the independent prosecutor's report (1994) said that Reagan and Bush had some knowledge of the affair or its coverup. Reagan and Bush both claimed to have been uninformed about the details of the affair, and no evidence was found to link them to any crime. A presidential commission was critical of the NSC, while congressional hearings uncovered a web of official deception, mismanagement, and illegality.
A number of criminal convictions resulted, including those of McFarlane, North, and Poindexter, but North's and Poindexter's were vacated on appeal because of immunity agreements with the Senate concerning their testimony. Former State Dept. and CIA officials pleaded guilty in 1991 to withholding information about the contra aid from Congress, and Caspar Weinberger, defense secretary under Reagan, was charged (1992) with the same offense. In 1992 then-president Bush pardoned Weinberger and other officials who had been indicted or convicted for withholding information on or obstructing investigation of the affair. The Iran-contra affair raised serious questions about the nature and scope of congressional oversight of foreign affairs and the limits of the executive branch.

Pepper Or Not - Still A Potentially Lethal Chemical Weapon
Who, among these young protestors, could rightly have expected to be doused -- directly in the eyes -- with a purportedly "non-lethal" chemical weapon, simply for sitting there?
Older protestors were more likely able to anticipate what was coming the moment they saw their paramilitary gear-laden "public servants," towing their not-so-bad sounding "Sound Canons" (mind you, which can crush your eardrums and make them bleed) behind them.
And many old-timers already knew through direct experience that in the United States the freedom of assembly, the right to freedom of association, and freedom of speech -- all of which establish the right to protest -- have little more than sentimental value in our history books (many of which, at this rate, will soon be burned).
After all, we are in the post-911, post-PATRIOT Act era. What's a little pepper spray, considering the crimes against humanity perpetuated of late by our once great nation-state, on self (citizens) and other ( resource-rich countries), in the name of universal freedom, security and democracy?
So, what is pepper spray, after all? It certainly sounds "natural" -- far less harmful, that is, than its technical classification as a "chemical weapon."
While pepper spray invariably contains an extract of hot peppers (technical name: oleoresin capsicum), it is actually a mixture of petrochemicals, including: anti-freeze (propylene glycol), benzyl alcohol, and a variety of other strange-sounding chemicals, nearly impossible to pronounce, and with next to no toxicological data available to confirm or refute their safety.

Squanto
Squanto or Tisquantum,d. 1622, Native North American of the Pawtuxet tribe. He is sometimes thought to be the Native American taken to England from the Maine coast by George Weymouth (1605) and returned by John Smith in 1615, but it is certain that he was kidnapped by Capt. Thomas Hunt in 1615, lived in England, and returned (1619) to North America with Capt. Thomas Dermer. In 1621 he acted as interpreter in concluding a treaty between the Pilgrim settlers and Massasoit. Squanto became friendly with the Plymouth colonists, aiding them particularly in their planting and fishing. While acting as guide and interpreter on William Bradford's expedition around Cape Cod, he contracted smallpox and died.

Fox News host Megyn Kelly calls pepper spray No Big Deal just ‘a food product’
“It’s a derivative of actual pepper, it’s a food product, essentially,”?....Ricin is a derivative of castor beans. Want to be sprayed with that, Megyn?
In the mind of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, the pepper spray administered to University of California-Davis students last weekend really just a one-sided food fight.
Kelly gave her causal assessment of the increasingly common police weapon on Tuesday’s broadcast of The O’Reilly Factor, seemingly defending the cops.
“It’s a derivative of actual pepper, it’s a food product, essentially,” she told host Bill O’Reilly.

The First Thanksgiving Proclamation
"The Holy God having by a long and Continual Series of his Afflictive dispensations in and by the present Warr with the Heathen Natives of this land, written and brought to pass bitter things against his own Covenant people in this wilderness, yet so that we evidently discern that in the midst of his judgements he hath remembered mercy, having remembered his Footstool in the day of his sore displeasure against us for our sins, with many singular Intimations of his Fatherly Compassion, and regard; reserving many of our Towns from Desolation Threatened, and attempted by the Enemy, and giving us especially of late with many of our Confederates many signal Advantages against them, without such Disadvantage to ourselves as formerly we have been sensible of, if it be the Lord's mercy that we are not consumed, It certainly bespeaks our positive Thankfulness, when our Enemies are in any measure disappointed or destroyed; and fearing the Lord should take notice under so many Intimations of his returning mercy, we should be found an Insensible people, as not standing before Him with Thanksgiving, as well as lading him with our Complaints in the time of pressing Afflictions:"

Where Does It STOP: 2 Georgia Caregivers Waterboard 89-Year-Old Woman
When I saw that a 89-year-old woman was water-boarded by nursing home staff over an argument about ice cream, I knew something terrible was wrong across America. Spontaneous acts of tyranny have been cropping up lately like cancer tumors: a food tyrant in Nevada raids a farm picnic and orders everyone to destroy their food....student protesters in California get pepper-sprayed by thuggish cops who clearly enjoy causing pain and suffering and now nursing home staffers torture their own resident using techniques borrowed from Guantanamo Bay...Have we collectively lost our minds?
These random acts of tyranny aren't really random acts at all... They are the infantile acting-out of behaviors the childish American public has witnessed being demonstrated by their 'leaders.' The TSA sexually molesting air travelers isn't just a violation of fundamental human rights...it's also a demonstration to the mindless masses that this is now 'normal behavior in the USA.
So as the masses observe Big Government reaching down their own pants, they now get the message that it's okay to sexually molest little boys at sports stadiums, or that it's okay to take children away from parents through C.P.S. and then rape them as part of child relocation 'processing' procedures.
When the American people see George Bush set up secret military prisons and condone waterboarding torture techniques, they called for Obama to stop the practice. Obama promised he would, and then not long after becoming President, he expanded Gitmo and actually presided over an increase in funding for the military and all its secret torture facilities.
The message to the American people? If Obama supports it, then torture must be okay. After all, he won a Nobel Peace Prize, so "peace" must be something that can be achieved through torture.
Thus, we should not be at all surprised when an 89-year-old woman gets water-boarded in a nursing home. After all, those staffers are only doing to her what they've watched the U.S. leaders do to other human beings, too. Imagine how some were surprised, for some reason, the nursing home staff were arrested while all the high-level government operatives who engage in the exact same torture techniques are never even questioned...

Thought De Jour
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
The Big Agra Anti-Biotic Scam
Scientists and health officials have raised grave concerns about so-called "factory farms". They have been called "mini Chernobyls" causing vast environmental damage and risk to human health.
In stunning show of bureaucratic idiocy, EU directive bans health claim that water prevents dehydration (seriously)
Question: Which substance is liquid at room temperature and hydrates the human body?
A) Mercury
B) Water
C) Gasoline
D) None of the above
According to the Nutrition Society and the EFSA, the correct answer is D!!
I cannot quite come up with the proper collection of insults to express the pathetic expansion of zombie-brained stupidity that has infected the so-called leadership in the world these days...
WHATS NEXT? Maybe the same brainless buffoons may officially declare that two plus two does not equal four...or, God forbid, they read 1984 and declair that war is peace, slavery is freedom, and soylent green is the only nutrition you ever really need. We have reached a point of such chemtrail and vaccination brain damage that we have runaway stupidity and brainless idiocy and any one with 2 brain cells must wonder if modern society can continue to function at all!.......

Congress declares pizza and french fries are vegetables
At a time when childhood obesity is epidemic and government wants to hold parents responsible, congress slipped in a little provision to a huge government spending bill that will declare pizza and french fries as 'vegetables'.....Why? They're doing it to subvert school lunch program guidelines to protect frozen 'food' sellers (Big Ag) and allow them to continue selling garbage to school cafeterias nationwide.
Of course, it's the parents who will still be held responsible for childhood obesity...

How Did Italy's New Imposed Fascism Come About?
First Italy's parliament was packed with Banksters and extremely wealthy people ( hand picked by corporations) and a few who were promised great wealth.
Then the Banksters pulled the plug using The European Central Bank (ECB)! Then the stacked parliament agreed to "appoint" Super Mario (Monti) to set up a group of banksters and "Corporate Leaders" (CEO's) to lead them from disaster by decree, which in fact makes him dictator for at least 2 years...NOW THAT IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF FASCISM!
Deutsche Bank and other German banks loaned huge sums of money (TRILLIONS) to Greece and Italy, knowing for a fact that at least half of the loaned money was being stolen by wealthy personal friends and business partners and government officials, and not caring, because they knew that the ECB would enforce “austerity,” and would demand that people who didn’t benefit from those loans, not the wealthy people who did, pay them back by the enforced looting of those countries of every asset. There will be riots; there may well even be civil war, but Deutsche Bank will be repaid and those countries’ infrastructure and archaeological treasures and other resources will end up in the hands of the banksters and their friends for pennies on the dollar, extracted at gunpoint by the Greek and Italian armies with whatever “stabilization” help they need from NATO – as a matter of sacred principle.
In Europe, the IMF wanted to take the heat off of themselves and they cleverly morphed the IMF riots into the ECB Riots....In the end they will offer A NEW WAY OUT thru a world basket of 'CURRENCY' (remember 'currency is MORE DEBT THRU BANK NOTES!)

INSANE NEWS! ATF classifies Chore Boy pot scrubber pads firearms
Some people wonder why people are in the street redressing their government.....Here is a prime example...A Chore Boy copper cleaning pad is a gun? A shoestring to be a machinegun? Whats next from these fools? Will a water balloon be classified a bomb?
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Firearms Technology Branch has deemed “Chore Boy copper cleaning pads, along with fiberglass insulation,” a firearm, subject to registration and a $200 transfer tax, an official letter obtained recently by Gun Rights Examiner reveals. The response to an attorney inquiry by John R. Spencer, Chief, Firearms Technology Branch, offers one of the more creatively restrictive assessments since ATF declared a shoestring to be a machinegun.

CANADIAN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS CONCERNED OVER CHEMTRAILS SINCE 2002
Ohio is the home of Wright-Patterson – the air force base working with electromagnetic and weather modification technology. A scientist working at Wright-Pat recently told reporter Bob Fitrakis that, "two different projects are being conducted. One involves cloud creation experiments to lessen the effect of global warming. Other chemtrails are connected with the military’s extremely high-power Radio Frequency beam weapon in Alaska called HAARP."
“The scientist claims that the, "two most common substances being sprayed into chemtrails are aluminum oxide and barium stearate. When you see planes flying back and forth marking parallel lines, X-patterns and grids in a clear sky, that’s aluminum oxide," according to the scientist. The goal is to create an artificial sunscreen to reflect solar radiation back into space to alleviate global warming. In some cases, barium may be sprayed in a similar manner for the purpose of “high-tech 3-D radar imaging.” (Columbus Alive Dec. 6, 2001)

APEC World Leaders Dinner Gets Occupied By Brave Musician-We ARE the 99%!
During the gala dinner, renowned Hawaiian guitarist Makana, who performed at the White House in 2009, opened his suit jacket to reveal a home-made “Occupy with Aloha” T-shirt. Then, instead of playing the expected instrumental background music, he spent almost 45 minutes repeatedly singing his protest ballad released earlier that day. The ballad, called “We Are the Many,” includes lines such as “The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw.... And until they are purged, we won't withdraw,” and ends with the refrain: “We'll occupy the streets, we'll occupy the courts, we'll occupy the offices of you, till you do the bidding of the many, not the few.”
Those who could hear Makana’s message included Presidents Barack Obama of the United States of America, Hu Jintao of China, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia, Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada, and over a dozen other heads of state.

“At first, I was worried about playing ‘We Are The Many,’” said Makana. “But I found it odd that I was afraid to sing a song I’d written, especially since I'd written it with these people in mind.”
