Democrats 'wholly own' Obamacare catastrophe
The congressman explained, just as the loss at the Alamo led to the creation of Texas, the losing battle to stop Obamacare has become a victory, because now the Democrats have to explain why their health care law has become such a disaster.
Obamacare Website Contractors Point Fingers Back at Obama Admin.
Contractors who built the web portal for the Obama administration’s health insurance marketplace said Thursday the site’s crippling problems trace back to insufficient testing and changes that government officials made just prior to going live.
Obamacare website: Does it violate privacy rights?
...the Obamacare website violates a federal privacy law – a characterization that prompted one Democrat to say, 'I will not yield to this monkey court!' “buried in the source code of Healthcare.gov is this sentence that could prove embarrassing: ‘You have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communication or data transiting or stored on this information system.’ ”

Black mobs and the coming race war
Initial skirmishes in that race war have already begun and have in fact been going on for some years. But public officials pretend that it is not happening, and the mainstream media seldom publish it at all, except in ways that conceal what is really taking place.
S. Africa evacuation plan: White Afrikaner group fears genocide upon Mandela’s death
Since Mandela’s was elected South Africa’s first black president in 1994 after spending 27 years in prison for actively opposing the segregationist policies of apartheid in the country, Afrikaners say over 3,000 white farmers have been murdered in revenge for the suppression enforced by its own National Party. Afrikaners say the government has never shown much desire to investigate the deaths. Genocide Watch, an organization that analyzes conditions around the world that could result in mass murder, puts Afrikaners’ risk of slaughter at level six or “preparation” stages, one level away from killings.

CHANCE OF STORMS
Earth's magnetic field is about to receive a glancing blow from three CMEs observed leaving the Sun between Oct. 20th and 22nd. Forecast models suggest that the three clouds merged en route to Earth, and their combined impact could trigger a mild polar geomagnetic storm on Oct. 24-25. Solar activity is high. On October 24th at 00:30 UT, Earth-facing sunspot AR1877 erupted, producing a powerful M9-class solar flare.

America’s pork industry has been gripped by an outbreak of porcine diarrhea since mid-May, the first appearance of the condition in North America. US farmers have reported 768 cases of the disease, known as porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), through the first week of October, which implies that many more thousands of animals could be affected.

Normalization of Pedophilia and Child Porn
The latest example I believe is a new movie called "Bad Grandpa." Some of you may have seen the previews for this mainstream movie, which stars Johnny Knoxville and 9-year-old Jackson Nicoll.
Let's cut to the chase. There is a scene in the preview where Nicoll does a striptease and gyrates on a pole in front of an unsuspecting audience. I know this may come as a shock, but by definition, that constitutes child pornography.

Possible Human Bones, 'Occult' Altar Found In Home By Cleaning Crew
Animal skulls, chains, bones from a goat and possibly other animals, a skull mask with a black hood, candles and a machete were among the items that were found in the home's backyard shed. Police say that some of the bones, including a partial skull, are suspected of being human and have been sent to an out-of-state lab to determine whether any DNA evidence can be found.

GAFCON: Former spiritual powerhouses now 'hostile' to Christian faith
In his chairman's address Archbishop Eliud Wabukala of Kenya said the challenge facing the church "is that the nations which were once the spiritual powerhouses of world wide mission have now become deeply secularised and even hostile to the Christian faith". "What really rots the fabric of the Communion is the process by which weak churches are gradually taken captive by the surrounding culture," he said.

Obama’s fingerprints all over IRS Tea Party scandal
Obama’s fingerprints all over IRS Tea Party scandal
Last Friday, the American Center for Law and Justice (where I serve as Chief Counsel) filed its Second Amended Complaint against the United States, the IRS, and a legion of IRS officials. This Complaint, in which we represent 41 organizations in 22 states, presents perhaps the most complete story yet of the IRS conservative targeting scandal. And it is an ugly story indeed. What was sold to the American public as a low-level scandal perpetrated by a few rogue employees – a scandal stopped after senior officials became aware and asserted control – is now (to borrow a Watergate phrase) “no longer operative.”

Yet Another Earthquake - This Time in Eilat
Israel's unusual period of seismic activity continued today (Wednesday), as yet another small earthquake was felt - this time in the southernmost Israeli city of Eilat. Although epicenter of the quake, which registered 3.3. on the Richter Scale, was located in the Egyptian town of Taaba, tremors were registered in the Israeli resort city. No damage or injuries occurred. This is the seventh such mini-earthquake in a week, and Israel has been abuzz with speculation as to whether such a rare string of tremors could portend a much larger earthquake.
Minister: '7,000 Could be Killed in a Major Earthquake'
Erdan said that a major earthquake could result in up to 7,000 Israelis losing their lives, with tens of thousands wounded, and as many as 200,000 requiring some kind of assistance. Following six earthquakes in the last week in the north, he said the ministry was aware of the threats to the public and had already planned many training exercises to simulate disaster scenarios, as well as giving courses and distributing information to public institutions.

Category 3 Hurricane Raymond impacts western Mexico
Low pressure System 96E developed quickly over the weekend of October 19 and 20 and by October 21 had grown into Hurricane Raymond. Hurricane Raymond, now a major Category 3 storm, continues to intensify in Eastern Pacific waters, just off the southwest coast of Mexico. Huricane-force winds and storm surge accompanied by large and destructive waves is expected to produce significant coastal flooding.

In Quake-Prone Israel, Public Is Advised to Take Cover, This Time Outside
But this week, the Home Front Command, the military department responsible for civil defense in times of war or national emergency, began a new public awareness campaign instructing people to run outdoors. That is because the safety campaign, advising the public to seek “open ground,” was prompted by a different threat: a swarm of minor earthquakes. The tremors, six in the last week, have been a reminder that Israel is due for a big earthquake...

ProPublica: There’s No Evidence To Back The NSA’s Claim That Spying On Americans Has Thwarted Terror Attacks
Two weeks after Edward Snowden’s first revelations about sweeping government surveillance, President Obama shot back. “We know of at least 50 threats that have been averted because of this information not just in the United States, but, in some cases, threats here in Germany,” Obama said during a visit to Berlin in June. “So lives have been saved.” But there’s no evidence that the oft-cited figure is accurate.
Law Enforcement Laments: Americans Informed About How We Abuse Their Rights Are Hurting Our Ability To Abuse Their Rights
The Director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation stood before his law enforcement peers Sunday and warned them that they were all in danger of losing their technological toys in the ongoing effort to spy on non-suspects and to create probable cause out of thin air. The revolt of public opinion elicited by Edward Snowden’s revelations about government’s spy methods has simply made secret surveillance too unpopular and has attracted too many fresh sets of watchful civilian eyes. Of course, GBI Director Vernon Keenan spoke of this as a bad thing, in the process revealing just how comfortably ensconced American law enforcement has become in its echo chamber of police-culture entitlement.

The two leaders held wide-ranging talks at the White House on Wednesday, pledging to strengthen the often-strained ties between the nations. The leaders also discussed tension between Pakistan and India over the disputed Kashmir region.
Amnesty International has accused the Obama administration of "war crimes" in its drone policy in a new report released Tuesday. The human rights organization reviewed forty-five drone strikes in the Pakistani providence of Waziristan since January 2012, and concluded that they "have resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths, some of which may amount to extrajudicial executions or war crimes under international law. The Amnesty report was covered by National Public Radio and CNN on Tuesday....

Vatican Official Affirms Church Teaching Banning Communion for Divorced/Remarried Catholics
The Vatican prelate in charge of defending and promoting the faith of the Catholic Church has strongly affirmed the Church’s teaching that Catholics who are divorced and remarried may not receive communion.
Yet again the pagan church of Rome is clearly contrary to the Bible. While divorce should be avoided and nobody including God does not like divorce, allowance is made for it due to the hardness of our hearts in cases where the marriage covenant is broken in cases of infidelity, abuse, and abandonment.

Obamacare seeks to segregate patients, doctors by race
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor under Obamacare — if you both belong to the same race. Obamacare’s spectacular flop of a rollout distracts from its crude calculus that encourages the allocation of healthcare resources along racial lines and a doctor-patient system splintered into ethnicities.
Why Obamacare Is Not A Train Wreck; It’s A Suicide Attack
The GOP needs to stop calling Obamacare a “train wreck.” That means it’s a mistake or accident. That means it’s a gigantic flop or failure. It’s not. This is a brilliant and purposeful attempt to damage the U.S. economy, kill jobs and bring down capitalism. It’s not a failure; it’s Obama’s grand success. It’s not a train wreck; Obamacare is a suicide attack.
Thousands Of Consumers Get Insurance Cancellation Notices Due To Health Law Changes
Health plans are sending hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters to people who buy their own coverage, frustrating some consumers who want to keep what they have and forcing others to buy more costly policies. The main reason insurers offer is that the policies fall short of what the Affordable Care Act requires starting Jan. 1.

COMMON CORE GLOBAL COMMUNION: ACTION ALERT PART 1 of 2

Our nation is being hypnotized and manipulated by skillful propagandists. Most debates about Common Core are very off-track. Stay focused. This is a power-play. The Common Core Standards aligned to funding in federal legislation, HR 5 and SB 1094, will ultimately have total control of education, nationalizing education in the United States of America. Common Core will be used to TRACK individual students to meet individual standards. By stopping the Common Core Standards in your state, the federal government will not have the legal authority to access your child for tracking individual workforce plans and funding attached to your student.
Choice legislation is waiting in the wings. Charter schools are lining up at the federal trough for Title I funding that will follow the child in the choice legislation. By stopping HR 5 and SB 1094, we can stop the funding that follows the student linked to choice at any private, public or charter school. This legislation will diminish representative government and feed the charter school socialist take-over of education. Common Core was needed first to identify the student.
This is Obama's Dream Come True: public funded- private charter schools with unelected school boards. This is a complete erosion of representative government; Control of K through 12 education; Obama expanding federal money for daycare starting at birth; the international connection, the Bologna Model, calling colleges in the United States to be "tuned" into this agenda of global convergence. Socialism is knocking on our front door and on all sides. We must act, now.
Overview of Propaganda
The educrats want the debate to be off track away from the power that will be able to mandate to the individual student, just like the individual mandate in Obamacare. Do not agree to this power-play. The debate about which academics in the Common Core should be taught, is a side issue. It's like debating which flavor of poison should be given to everyone, when poison is the issue. The word is CONTROL. The national standards, the national curriculum, and national testing, are being put in place. Your child is called human capital that will be molded to fit the global child for the new world order. True academics are being replaced by dumbed down, subjective standards.
Choice and Charter School Take-Over of All Education
Obama's 'Race to the Top' model schools call for individual education or career plans (school to work) to be created for the Common Core based system. Did you get that parents? Common Core Standards will target your individual student for change, not just the school curriculum. Good teachers will be forced to teach to the standards. HR 5 and SB 1094 will complete the vicious circle by controlling the purse strings.
Common Core College and Career Standards were needed to identify Johnny in the classroom. Place Johnny in the choice legislation, the model for abolishing representative government (where students, teachers, and schools must comply to federal accountability when the federal money follows the child in an IEP, (individualized education plans or career pathway), we have set up the failure of public and private schools and opened the door for unelected charter school take-over. Government will now have COMPLETE control over molding the personality and values of every child in the United States and parents will have no authority to change the system. Chilling. Not a future for our Republic as we know it.
ACTION- These are the Weaknesses in the System
Access - The Common Core Standards are not federal law. This is the weakest link. Stop Common Core in your state and the federal government will not have the legal authority to access your individual child for tracking an IEP, or an individual career workforce plan and funding, Title I, identified for your child. Remember a standards based system means individual students must meet individual standards. Fight Common Core , NOW.
Funding - By stopping or slowing down the combination of HR 5 and SB 1094, the federal government cannot fund the individual student without Common Core which is linked to CHOICE at any private, public or charter school. This legislation will diminish representative government and feed the charter school socialist take-over of education, nationalizing education. HR 5 already passed the House. Do you think the Democratic Senate isn't going to pass SB 1094? The combination of these bills will demolish our Republic & representative government. Choice & Charter Schools will abolish representative government in the United States!!! TARGET THESE BILLS!
States Rights- Title I funding 'following the child" bypasses the state legislature. Does your state legislature truly understand that they will have NO power once CHOICE funds are directed to the individual child? They will have no control of the purse strings!
Local Control- Common Core Standards control the workforce curriculum bypassing local school boards and teachers in the classroom. Choice diminishes control over local taxing authority when funding goes directly to the student. Common Core & Choice create the perfect storm for the socialist takeover by Charter Schools that have no elected school boards. Parents will have no voice in workforce curriculum or how the tax base will be destroyed with Choice stipends exploding across district, county & state lines. Regionalization is on the move.
Privacy- Has anyone filed suit against FERPA for allowing the fascist corporations to access our kids' personally identifiable information without informed consent? Who has access to those written agreements? This access is how these corporations, foundations, non-profits, and businesses that have gone into contract with the government are developing software and curriculum for INDIVIDUAL students to meet Common Core international workforce standards. This digital curriculum will be the IEP's or career pathways that will control a students upward mobility and learning genome.
Access, Funding, Local Control, States Rights and Privacy are the Debate Issues.
Choice allows the tax base to implode.
Charter Schools-the socialist plan for a CORPORATE FASCIST – PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP SYSTEM is waiting for this legislation to be passed.
Fait accompli!

Background On Testing Global Subjective Standards
Pennsylvania EQA, Educational Quality Assessment, the test that I filed my federal complaint against, was the model for the NAEP, National Assessment for Educational Progress. The NAEP Civic Frameworks of today continue to test the same dispositions as were developed in the EQA. PARCC and SMARTER Balanced tests measuring Common Core have technical committees from NAEP working alongside. Ditto that for the new degree for Higher Education. Pennsylvania was the "affective" test for the nation that tested attitudes and values. Responsible Citizenship was not what normal Americans thought was being measured and taught. The government goal was to collect information on the individual and the family. But, how do you measure and score a standard like honesty or integrity in our free society? We must ask these questions to clarify when measuring workforce skills and values, what will the standard be... what will be taught? What is the cut-off for how much honesty, integrity, and responsibility that a student needs to graduate? Liberals as well as conservatives should be very concerned about the manipulation and psychoanalyzing that comes with vague and subjective standards. Here is why!
EQA and NAEP background questions were always asked in the beginning of the test to categorize your family: books in the home, education of parent, race, do you own a computer, college education of the parent, salary of father, salary of mother, do you like to study, all related to as conditions or variables. There were also over 300 questions on values, 30 in math, 30 in reading analogies.
Deception, betrayal, and using our children as guinea pigs was the only way the behavioral educrats could access our kids. The educrats got away with this subversive agenda for a long time by deceptively using words and phrases you would agree with. There were 10 Pennsylvania Quality Goals in 1965 that were taken from the 10 Cardinal Principles of the NEA from 1913. The goals were expanded to 12 in later years including: communication skills, mathematics, science and technology, citizenship, arts and humanities, analytical thinking, family living, work, health, environment, self-esteem, and understanding others. Every goal and stated objectives could be taken from Blooms Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. Pennsylvania was the pilot in the affective domain for the world. Lets look at one of the goals, Citizenship.
Tempest in a Test: the Pennsylvania EQA, the model test for measuring attitudes and values for World Citizenship.
The top behavioral scientists of the world were in Pennsylvania in 1965 formulating the Pennsylvania EQA which was the model for the national test, NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress.)The Advisory Standing Committee included: Urie Bronfenbrenner, Cornell University; Warren Findley, University of Georgia; Joshua Fishman, Yeshiva University; Eric Gardner, Syracuse University; David Krathwohls, Michigan State University; Robert Thorndike, Colombia University; Melvin Tumin, Princeton; Ralph Tyler, Palo Alto, UCLA, along with ETS, Educational Testing Service. ESEA was the federal funding that secretly moved this agenda along.
Pennsylvania Goal:Citizenship. Quality education should help every child acquire the habits and attitudes associated with responsible citizenship."
We can ALL agree to the idea in this goal, but, what you, as an American, thought was really being measured, was totally opposite. The information that follows about the testing is scientific and complicated, but important. Please bear with me while I try to explain what B F Skinner was all about and how the social engineers above, went about the task of measuring our children's attitudes and values. I have the tests and the scoring materials. Lets dig in....but hold onto your hats.The following quote was taken from the Pennsylvania Resource manual, "Getting Inside the EQA Inventory,"
"The National Assessment of Educational Progress developed 9 citizenship objectives. These national objectives were used to provide a frame of reference for what was to be measured. Objectives in the factual domain, knowing structure of government or understanding problems of international relations were not considered in developing the scale. Arriving at a satisfactory definition of citizenship was much less complicated than applying the definition to the assessment of students' attitudes and behaviors. The display of responsible citizenship behaviors like honesty or integrity are most often situational. A person's display of good citizenship under one set of motivating conditions tells us little about the way he or she can be expected to act if those conditions are altered. The context in which the behavior is elicited therefore becomes at least as important in determining the outcome as the preposition of the individual involved."
"To assess citizenship, a behavior-referenced model incorporating elements related to the psychological notion of threshold is used. In reference to citizenship, threshold refers to that set of conditions necessary to bring about the desired responses. Thus by varying the situation & introducing conditions of reward & punishment, we are able to determine the cutoff levels at which the student will display positive behavior. In this way it is possible to assess not only the students' predisposition to behave in a manner consistent with responsible citizenship but also to provide some measure of intensity of that predisposition across a wide spectrum of situations."
Betrayal and Deception. Let me remind you that positive behavior was thegovernment desired responses, not what you as a citizen might think. Thresholds were being tested by reward and punishment. This is BF Skinner to the MAX. This was the only way the federal government could do its research on unassuming children at our neighborhood schools. EQA was really the national test. Parents were uninformed. Teachers were uninformed. The federal Department of Education has been testing attitudes and values of your children for years and monitoring behavior change. Let's define predisposition: Noun: A liability or tendency to suffer from a particular condition, hold a particular attitude, or act in a particular way. Synonyms: inclination, tendency, propensity, proclivity
The test questions were hypothetical situations or 'social situations' in which the students were asked to decide what they would do or what action they would take. Each story had 3 items which listed positive or negative consequencesresulting from the action. There were 3 sub-scale objectives which were used toSCORE the behaviors to a minimum positive desired response according to the government;
The Science of Scoring Attitudes and Values Toward Collectivism: What Was the Government Looking For: Read The Question Carefully. Look at the Sub-Scales.
NAEP Sub-Scales
(1) willingness to protest unfair treatment, tendency to accept new members into a group, degree of restraint from teasing or degrading others and concern for others feelings
(2) willingness to report law breaking of others, obey authorities during emergencies, prevent classroom disruptions, restraint from violence to harm others or damage property
(3) personal responsibility and integrity, willingness to honor self made commitments to individuals or groups, willingness to take responsibility for one's own mistakes, report mistakes made in one's favor.
Citizenship Question On the Test
Situations were used for the student to respond to. The answers were "yes, maybe, no." One story is about Midnight Artists that go out late at night and vandalize. The student is placed in a vandalizing situation and made to roll play in the first person, and asked if they personally would join the club to vandalize, scored toward group think, collectivism.
The first question is, " in this situation I would join the club when I knew," 'my best friend had asked me to join'. Scoring to sub-scale #3, what is your willingness to honor self-made commitments to individuals or groups; you got 1 point for yes, (I would join the club if my best friend would join,) 0 points for no. If the student said " No" I would not go out to vandalize with their best friend, that is a weakness, that student got a zero because there was not a willingness to commit to a best friend. Thresholds measure at what point your child will act. The sub-scale was looking for your loyalty to your best friend. So the government desired answer was "Yes" you would go out to vandalize if your best friend was going to do it. Everything was geared to group goals and group action.
The 2nd question is the same sub-scale, I would join the club when...'most of the popular students in school joined the club', both positive reinforcements. What is your commitment to the group: 1 point for yes, 0 for no.
The 3rd question is interesting using a negative reinforcement. I would join the club when...'my parents would ground me if they found out I joined'. In this response, Skinner would want to know if punishment is incurred, will the student obey. The correct response is 'no'. You got 1 point for no, 0 for yes. In this question, the government was looking for obedience to authority. The idea of collecting this particular information from this question on the student, explains what personality tendency the student has and will the student respond to punishment. The idea is to get information on the disposition of the student in differing situations, obedience....What would you do if? (Re-read the NAEP objectives on dispositions. You will begin to understand. The government is looking for information.)
So, you see, if your school had enough students that portrayed 'weaknesses,' ( that they wouldn't go out to vandalize with a friend or a group of friends,) that was a target for specific curriculum to begin behavior change. Noble sounding goals would be used to hoodwink the parents while a sinister deceptive test was being used to develop an analysis that measured attitudes and behavior to find out how a person would act in certain situations. Citizenship was defined as measuring compliance to group goals & group action. The Skinnerian agenda measured the personality of the child according to a minimum positive attitude according to what the government standard was, which was scored toward collectivism, group think. They are measuring what you, as parents, have taught your children. Remember, this was only one goal. There were 11 others goals that tested the psychological profiles of your family and your child. 
(Remember, this was the test my son came home and said the test was weird. This is where my journey began fighting Outcome Based Education.)
(Remember, this was the test my son came home and said the test was weird. This is where my journey began fighting Outcome Based Education.)
It's all about data collection. First, the government would place children and parents into sociometric groupings according to background information and answers to the test. These groupings were then populated to an entire state. This psychographic, ( psychograph n. A graphic representation or chart of the personality traits of an individual or group), could then be used for marketing where conservative, individualist thinking groups, liberal leaning, group-think areas, cross-referencing other census data collected, to target population groups located in the United States. Wow, let's follow along and keep going if you dare. So, how do you happen to get controversial curricula in you school?
EQA, Resources for Improvement or 'How to target a school to change their curriculum.'
So, what was done with the scored psychological data, or information collected from these tests? Each goal area had lists of VALIDATED RESEARCH and DEVELOPED CURRICULA piloted from separate states to change attitudes and values all listed under the Pennsylvania EQA. Question? How could a program from Texas, Ohio, New Jersey, Florida, or Maine be validated under the EQA, unless Pennsylvania was the national validating criteria? Answer. EQA is the NAEP.

Putin Bans Russian Officials From Owning Foreign Rothschild Bank Accounts & Stock! Ending The NWO Cabal….
The Kremlin is ready to ban state officials from owning foreign property or keeping money abroad, a move seen by one civil society group as the latest manifestation of ”Western phobia” by the government. A source in the presidential administration told Kommersant that strict controls on foreign assets were seen as necessary.
Terror in Sinai – Serious Threat to Egyptian Economy
The deteriorating security situation in Sinai has already damaged tourism in southern Sinai, which comprised almost a quarter of the entire Egyptian tourism market. This latest escalation of terror in Sinai is a severe threat to two much bigger and more important Egyptian economic systems: The production and transport of gas and oil is one; the Suez canal and the international transport and commerce systems associated with it are the other.

Billy Graham sounds alarm for 2nd Coming
Just as Noah did in ancient times, world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham is sounding the alarm that the Second Coming is “near” and signs of the end of the age are “converging now for the first time since Jesus made those predictions.” Earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly “biblical prophecies are being realized.” “God keeps his promises, and this is why we can be sure that the return of Christ is near,” Graham said. “Scripture tells us that there will be signs pointing toward the return of the Lord. I believe all these signs are evident today.”

‘Unacceptable and shocking’: France demands explanation for NSA spying
France has called for an explanation for the “unacceptable” and “shocking” reports of NSA spying on French citizens. Leaked documents revealed the spy agency records millions of phone calls and monitors politicians and high-profile business people. The US Ambassador to France Charles Rivkin was summoned by the French Foreign Ministry to account for the espionage allegations on Monday morning.
Law Enforcement Laments: Americans Informed About How We Abuse Their Rights Are Hurting Our Ability To Abuse Their Rights
The Director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation stood before his law enforcement peers Sunday and warned them that they were all in danger of losing their technological toys in the ongoing effort to spy on non-suspects and to create probable cause out of thin air. The revolt of public opinion elicited by Edward Snowden’s revelations about government’s spy methods has simply made secret surveillance too unpopular and has attracted too many fresh sets of watchful civilian eyes. Of course, GBI Director Vernon Keenan spoke of this as a bad thing, in the process revealing just how comfortably ensconced American law enforcement has become in its echo chamber of police-culture entitlement.
Dianne Feinstein: NSA Snooping Isn’t ‘Surveillance’
Dianne Feinstein, the chair of the US Senate committee charged with holding the intelligence establishment to account, declared on Monday that the National Security Agency’s mass collection of phone records is “not surveillance” and should be maintained as an essential tool to combat terrorism.

The revolt of public opinion elicited by Edward Snowden’s revelations about government’s spy methods has simply made secret surveillance too unpopular and has attracted too many fresh sets of watchful civilian eyes. Of course, GBI Director Vernon Keenan spoke of this as a bad thing, in the process revealing just how comfortably ensconced American law enforcement has become in its echo chamber of police-culture entitlement.

Bond market revolt might strike US in 2016, as it refuses to deal with debt crisis
Amid the government crisis, the US is $17 trillion in debt which is 107 percent of GDP. However, more important is the fact that it is 700 percent of the country’s revenue, Michael Pento, president of Pento Portfolio Strategies told RT. “That $ 17 trillion everybody says its 107 percent of GDP, that’s true. But who really cares about the percentage of GDP? It’s the percentage of the debt as a percentage of the revenue – its 700 percent of our revenue.

Black mob pounces on young white couple
Black mob pounces on young white couple
Editors and readers of the New York Daily News want us to know that race had nothing to do with the ten black people who stopped a car and beat a young white couple in Brooklyn. All the while yelling racial epithets. “It’s not just a black and white thing,” reported the Daily News. “It’s stupid teenagers thinking they can do whatever they want.”
so glad Barak Hussein Obama (a.k.a. Barry Sotero) was able to bring us such racial harmony... NOT!

Black Mob Violence
They had just come from a local park where DeAndre and 15 others beat up two girls, sending one to the hospital with a broken arm.
So DeAndre came up with an increasingly popular idea: In St. Louis they call it the Knockout Game. In Illinois, Polar Bear Hunting.
Regardless of what DeAndre in Meriden, Conn., called it, the rules are the same all over: Find a person who looks defenseless. Then punch him. Or kick him until you get tired or he is knocked out. Or worse. Game over.
DeAndre was part of a pattern of hundreds of examples of black mob violence documented in more than 80 cities revealed in “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.”
DeAndre knew The Knockout Game was usually pretty safe. For the attacker, that is. In Meriden, victims aren’t likely to carry concealed weapons. Nor do they fight back: As one player said in Philadelphia as his victim begged for mercy: “It’s not our fault you can’t fight.”
