Washington Unleashes MEK on Iran

Global Research

Mujahadeen el-Kahlq, state department terrorist group #27, is the beneficiary of millions of dollars worth of lobbyists, public relation agents, ex office holders and training in the deserts of Nevada.  Forget their atrocities against the Iranian people, soldiers, politicians and scientists – the real enemy is Amadinenijad and those crazy mullahs.  After all one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter – right?

NSA Counterpunch

Raw Story

According to NSA Geek-in-Chief, Gen. Keith Alexander you can blame hackers for “the greatest transfer of wealth in history.”  He’s not joking and has obviously not been reading FOMC minutes, history of dollar devaluation or headlines.  The NSA would like nothing more than have invasive legislation like CISPA pass, until then meet your new boogey man – hackers.

Shh, Don’t tell Chicken Little…

Tree Rings Prove Global Cooling

DailyMail

Looks like no ocean front property in Arizona and you can blame it all on that pesky light bulb in the sky.  According to scientists rings in fossilized pine trees show we’ve been cooling for 2000 years due to increased distances between Earth and Sun and solar phases.  Looks like the IPCC underestimated things.  Yes, CO2 warms our planet, but there are evidently other – larger – factors to consider in climate change.

Meet a New Reporter: Al Gorithm

AFP

Two parts engineering one part journalism and vuala – robo journalist coming to a daily near you!  No coffee breaks, no compensation and no fuss.  Algorithms will crunch all that raw data and spit out your story.  The company responsible – Narritive Science – sound a bit Orwellian?  Don’t worry it looks like they only cover sports and financials – for now.

No More Pat Downs?

Natural News

They won’t have to.  The gentle souls over at the Department of Homeland security want frisk and radiate you with yet another device and log every chemical in your body.  The “Picosecond Programmable Laser” will read people at the molecular level everything from semtex to THC.  That’s right it can penetrate everything and everyone from 50 meters.  God Bless America.

CA Cities Dropping Like Flies

StratRisks

San Bernardino’s bankruptcy falls on the heels of Stockton and Mammoth Lakes.  First it was your homes and now your cities, some California cities may “cease to exist.” The city is facing an immediate cash flow issue one it apparently didn’t care to face after spending millions of tax dollars on transit projects and other none essential services.

Drum roll please…

Depopulation Nation

Activist Post

Bill and Melinda Gates are purveying their latest agenda in the name of women’s rights.  They argue it’s more cost effective and easier to reduce the birthing poor – just take this pill – than it is elevating people from poverty through increasing education, reducing corruption and freeing man and market.  It’s fundamentally a clash of philosophies – of prosperity versus central planning.

Happy 4th of July America!  We have so much to celebrate here in the land of the free and home of the brave don't we?  Then why does this 4th seem to ring a little hollow?  Sure, family and friends are abundant, fireworks large and small are anxiously awaiting a match, BBQs are being meticulously cleaned and loaded with charcoal, the red white and blue adorn every fixture, and libations await to conduct the entire affair. 

America is 235 years old today, but what will the next 200 years bring?  The next 100?  If the last 10 years can provide us with a reasonable trajectory one could arguably predict a rough road ahead.  From a metastasizing national security apparatus and 4 foreign wars to an economy on life support and massive debt we find ourselves in a uniquely precarious situation.  This Independence Day may also ring especially hollow for over a quarter of Americans who can't quite put their finger on who we declared independence from, let alone for what reasons. 

This may seem shocking to you, but it is true!  What is equally true is that most Americans have forgotten that our independence was not just from Great Britain, but from its oppressive government.  We fought a war, you know killing people with armies, in order to free ourselves from its tyrannical systems.  Let me be clear, King George III and his government were by no means herding our forbearers into concentration camps or enslaving colonists for work in hard labor, lack of representation and one too many taxes was all it took for us to start ending the lives of British soldiers.  This is representative of how greatly our forefathers cherished our inalienable rights and liberties and how little they would tolerate others trampling over them.  

In the last 10 years we have seen exponential growth in government under both parties, Republicans and Democrats.  Our systems of governance have verifiably broken down under the "silent artillery of time", through the purposeful dismantling of constitutional safeguards, and the ensconcing of aberrant and unelected agencies (i.e. the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Federal Reserve, two inherently mischievous and unconstitutional bodies) amidst our free society.  This multitude of vulnerable governmental entities is incalculable enabling powerful interests to easily penetrate the halls of democracy and usurp regulatory posts via the hordes of private influence mercenaries known as lobbyists.   

At every turn we pay through taxes to be searched, stopped, fondled, monitored, and categorized by these supposed departments of freedom.  The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its loyal dog the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the domestic equivalent of our foreign legions.  While our troops are away fighting unending warfare in numerous countries, known and unknown, the Pentagon has grown, here at home, a grossly self serving and powerful private intelligence and R&D community who's ultimate obsession is with the literal manufacture of not only weapons and war technology, but also the bogeymen to fight them with.  

Meanwhile, our economy struggles.  It is laden with regulation, taxes, over 20% unemployment, and operated under the new paradigm of crony capitalism our government has been put in the position of picking the winners and losers instead of the objective and invisible hand of the free market.  Bad firms with their worse ideas and antiquated business models are kept afloat by the largesse of government intervention creating a tempestuous business environment where instead of investing money in growing brands and hiring new workers companies cautiously hoard cash and ship jobs overseas. 

What will it take for today's Americans to rise up and say enough is enough?  According to our Founders they knew the tendency of most nations throughout history is to roll over and submit to tyranny and governmental overreach, but as far as our founders were concerned Americans are duty bound to abolish and reestablish a new and more free government!

"...Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." - Declaration of Independence

Aside from our charge as individuals to be vigilant in our mission of freedom, the Declaration of Independence is nonpareil in one important aspect, it was the first document ever referred to as a declaration of independence.  It is this singular document, this public example (not our armies), which over the last 235 years has recreated the world in our image, that is to say, has turned the world from a static amalgam of empires into a dynamic juxtapositional collage of independent nation states.  While nations have attempted to grow their power and influence by invading and/or attempting to control other countries through various vehicles causing much war and tumult this world of independents is still thankfully the status quo.  It however may not always be so.   

The growing role of the United Nations threatens to throw America and the rest of the world back into the dark ages with regard to decentralized independent control of our nations and their peoples.  Regardless of the intoxicating prospects of perpetual peace envisaged by the UN's proponents it nonetheless is a superstructure with the incredible potential for apocalyptic failure. 

Real peace is achieved through the free market of governments, the right of free humanity to emigrate to wherever they may find the most happiness.  The question this 4th of July is: is America still that destination and if we are not, how do we restore our Republic?
