Obama Is An Embarrassment Says Krauthammer
Bill O'Reilly says he doesn't know why Obama won't say "Jihadist" or "Muslim extremist"... well then, let me enlighten him. He won't because he IS a Muslim and won't put any negative connotation onto his fellow brothers even if it's well deserved and the rest of the world knows it! Yes, Obama is an embarrassment...in more ways than just one!
Now The Government Wants Your 401K!
What the government wants to do is to do away with your 401K...and let THEM handle it. They say it's costing you more money than what you're getting because of rising management fees of your 401K. So, to save you money, the government wants to buy your 401K at the price it would have been worth just a month or two before the market crash in 2008 and then give you a measly 1-3% interest on it. Oh yes! I want my government to manage my retirement fund because they've done SUCH a great job with the other one, called Social Security!!!
The real reason the government wants to do this is because they say they are losing money with our 401K's. How? Because the money you put in, goes in before it is taxed. So let's say you earn $900.00 a week, and have $100.00 put into your 401K weekly. That $100.00 goes in first, and then you're taxed on the remaining $800.00. So, the government figures they are losing money because that $100.00 wasn't taxed. But, what they aren't taking into consideration is that that $100.00 WILL be taxed when you go to finally use it when you retire! In fact, After the age of 70-1/2, you MUST start taking money out in at least minimal amounts annually, determined by IRS actuarial tables depending on your age. This is called your Required Minimum Distribution, or RMD. The penalty for not withdrawing as much as the IRS says you should is 50% of the difference between the RMD and what you actually took out.
What greed! The government isn't losing out on the money, they're just not satisfied to have to wait for it!!! And we ALL know exactly how well our government has managed our tax monies (to the tune of a $16,808,240,386,273 debt!) to date! They have stolen and mismanaged our Social Security funds to the tune that we baby boomers most likely won't get the full amount we planned on for our golden years. Do we really want our government managing our 401K's? I say that they can WAIT for their taxes on our 401K accounts and find the money they say they are losing by waiting for it by lowering the amount they pay each US senator and representative by 25%!

Independent Foreclosure Review Settlement Paperwork
This is the paperwork that came with my check.
Please note that:
1) Nowhere is there a statement in the letter that says "By cashing this check you release the bank from any other prosecution"....like some are saying; and
2) there is a statement that says: This payment does not mean that you necessarily suffered financial injury or harm. (Nice way to try and get out of being held accountable in future court proceedings, eh?)

Frankenapple: Bad News No Matter How You Slice It
Thanks to the biotech industry’s relentless quest to control our food, McDonald’s, Burger King and even school cafeterias will soon be able to serve up apples that won’t turn brown when they’re sliced or bitten into. A new, almost entirely untested genetic modification technology, called RNA interference, or double strand RNA (dsRNA), is responsible for this new food miracle. Scientists warn that this genetic manipulation poses health risks, as the manipulated RNA gets into our digestive systems and bloodstreams. The biotech industry claims otherwise.
Like any non-organic apple, the new GMO Arctic® Apple will be drenched in toxic pesticide residues, untested by the U.S. Food & Drug Association (FDA) and likely unlabeled. And of course these shiny new high-tech apples will cost less than a pesticide-free, nutrient-dense, old-fashioned organic apple that turns a little brown after you slice it up.
Unless we stop them, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will approve “Frankenapple” this year.
Background
Non-organic apples top the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen list, for both the volume and the stunning array of pesticides consistently found on them. According to the Pesticide Action Network’s analysis of the most recent USDA data, apples tested positive for 42 pesticides, including organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides. Both are endocrine disruptors, both have suspected neurological effects, and both are considered especially toxic for children. (Organophosphates are the basis for nerve gases used in chemical warfare, and have been linked to the development of ADHD in kids).
Given such a grim report card, one could argue that it really doesn’t make any difference if we start tinkering with the apple’s genes.
After all, unlike GMO corn or salmon, scientists aren’t injecting pesticides or genes from foreign plants or animals into the genes of apples to create the Frankenapple. They’re “just” adding a synthetic gene that reduces the apple’s ability to produce polyphenol oxidase, an enzyme that causes the apple to turn brown when it’s exposed to oxygen. The synthetic gene contains DNA sequences from four of the apple’s own genes that naturally govern production of polyphenol oxidase. This process of shutting down an organism’s ability to express a specific gene is called RNA interference.
Does RNA interference make the Frankenapple hazardous to human health? OSF, the industry, and some scientists say, no. Others, including Michael Hansen of the Union of Concerned Scientists, say very possibly. Hansen says the process involves “manipulating tiny pieces of RNA which survive human digestion and can have significant impacts on the human body.”
But that’s only the half of it, says Hansen. The chemical compound that is shut off in the engineered fruit, in order to make it not oxidize or brown, is a chemical compound that also fights off plant pests. What happens when the apple’s ability to fend off insects is compromised? Growers will need to spray greater amounts, of possibly even more toxic pesticides, on a crop already saturated with at least 42 types of pesticides.
RSVP: Join the GMO Apple Protest in Chicago! The biotech industry is so proud of its latest frankenfood, it’s giving Okanagan Specialty Fruits, Inc. (OSF), creator of the genetically modified Arctic® Apple, an award. We thought it would be fun to let them know what we think about that. So we’ve planned an event of our own, and we hope you’ll join in. The OCA, along with other consumer activists, will protest the GMO apple award ceremony on April 23, at noon, outside the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago. Join us for a press conference, rally and picket line, complete with free T-shirts, organic apples and posters.
And everybody...this is important enough to write to and call your US and state reps about and tell them that this is totally unacceptable for not only us adults safety...but for our CHILDREN'S safety! To be fed this in our schools lunches is COMPLETELY & TOTALLY untolerable...PERIOD!

Honest Americans are Being Lumped Together with Terrorists, Beware!
Minutes after the bomb went off at the Boston Marathon, while emergency crews and brave Bostonians scrambled to help their neighbors, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said it could be homegrown terrorists to blame.
Soon after, T.V. pundit Chris Matthews goes on air and asks, "…would you as an expert be thinking domestic at this point?"
Later, David Axelrod, a former Clinton and Obama advisor, let's out on air, "…. I'm sure what was going through the president's mind is – we really don't know who did this – it was tax day. Was it someone who was pro-you know…"
There's no doubt the U.S. has bad guys, we have the largest prison population in the world. The disturbing thing about these veiled statements is that it pushes the "war on terror" at home narrative, which attempts to justify eroding our civil liberties.
Since at least September 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice has publicly asserted that Americans who wish for less tax, a smaller government, or a greater adherence to the Constitution and Bill of Rights may be potential domestic terrorists.
The FBI has a label for it: Sovereign Citizen.
What's more, the "U.S. citizen as potential terrorist" narrative is even taught to military cadets at West Point.

Racial Double Standards
You know, I understand and abhor the history of black slavery here in America and that there is still some who treat people wrongly because of their skin color today. With that said...I want to point out that there seems to have been a slant that either has gone unnoticed....or people are afraid to voice, because of the fact that the history of black people's troubles here in America was so horrendous that it just can't be compared to so don't even bother to state the obvious because it can't compare and it's ok for us but it isn't for you because you were the ones who did it to us first and worse! Well, I've never been the one to be so politically correct that when I see injustice and racial bias to keep my opinions to myself...and I'm not about to start now!
You may say, what in the hey is she talking about? Well, here it is.
Remember 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida who was shot by George Zimmerman on February 26 in 2012? Now, I thought (and still do!) that this was just a very sad tragedy and that too much of this happens so unneedlessly today. While watching this....I said to myself...you watch...instead of this staying as a tragic happening that had a lot of misunderstanding involved... the black community is going to play the "race card" and make this into a black-white thing. And sure enough...that is EXACTLY what was done! Nevermind that Zimmerman is not just white, but is also Latino....he LOOKS white, so we'll ignore that he isn't totally so and just blame the whites for this as we all know, it's the white man's fault just as it always has been because look at the not so distant past history of slavery!
So, the Black Panthers put out a bounty on Zimmerman and threatened his life. And what was the reaction by most everyone? Oh, well, that's insignificant because most people condemn the group anyways. Excuse me? Then tell me why is it, that when most people condemn the KKK, if the KKK would put out a bounty on a black person, it would be taken seriously and newsworthy enough to be shouted about for days on end? (Racial double standards!) When you see someone being threatened by a group of extremists just because his skin is of a different color... even WHITE....then it's racist thinking and wrong...PERIOD!
Now, Zimmerman was furthered vilified because Martin was touted as “a good kid, a mild-mannered kid with no criminal record whatsoever" by the Sanford Police Department, the media and his parents. So now, Zimmerman not only shot a BLACK youth, but one that was a very good black youth, so he's the devil incarnate! And everybody else got on board with this and the media ran on this platform with its news reports ad nauseum for days! Well guess what folks? Martin wasn't the little angel everybody made him out to be! "For a variety of reasons, none of them good, elements within the SPD and the Miami-Dade School District Police Department, or M-DSPD, conspired to keep Martin’s criminal history buried. Martin had been suspended twice already that school year (2011/12) for offenses that should have gotten him arrested – once for getting caught with a burglary tool and a dozen items of female jewelry, the second time for getting caught with marijuana and a marijuana pipe. In each case, the case file on Martin was fudged to make the crime less serious than it was". What? Everybody hiding the fact that this youth had a criminal record but was skating by and not being held responsible or accountable for his actions because there was and is pressure from the black community to stop suspending black youths in schools? "School districts across the country had been feeling pressure from the nation’s race hustlers to think twice before disciplining black students. Last year, the White House formalized the pressure with an executive order warning school districts to avoid “methods that result in disparate use of disciplinary tools.” Yes, this is exactly what is happening as is evident by Jesse Jackson addressing a large April 1, 2012, rally in Sanford, Florida. He implied that Martin had been profiled by his high school for being a black male and suspended for the same reason. “We must stop suspending our children,” Jackson told the crowd.
So, what did all this pressure do? It made a police department FALSIFY police reports so Martin's true record (along with other black youths) couldn't be known! Let's see here...Martin is a known criminal to his school, thus his parents had to have known, he apparently was into drugs...and just days after his non-arrest, he was allowed to wander the streets of Sanford high and alone... looking, in Zimmerman’s immortal words, “like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something.” Looks like Zimmerman called THAT one right, eh?
Had this happened the other way around...and a black man had shot a white youth who was touted as a good boy with no criminal record at all...and it came out later that he did have one, and that his actions on that day could have caused that black man some rightful concern...you bet that the black community would be shouting to the tree tops about racial bias in the white community for falsifying the youth's criminal records and not reporting it and then blaming the black man for shooting the youth when he was only trying to keep his community safe and the media would fall all over itself in reporting this. So, where is the media now? Why aren't they falling all over themselves in reporting that Zimmerman might of actually had a very good reason to be concerned and suspicious? That maybe, just maybe, he WAS being beaten up and just trying to defend himself? They aren't...and why? Because it was a WHITE (?) man who shot a BLACK youth, that's why! And God forbid that we tell the WHOLE story...and maybe put a black youth in the correct light, or at least a more correct light! THAT my dear reader....is called... RACIAL DOUBLE STANDARDS!
Now, don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying that the shooting isn't tragic....because it is. And I'm not saying that Zimmerman was totally correct in his response to the circumstances at hand. What I AM saying is this...there is a SLANT now (and for some time) in our country of black racism towards whites and that it's being tolerated as ok because whites have done it towards blacks in the past. And if whites dare to complain, we are the racist ones and demonized as bad and not worthy of complaining because we did it in the past! Well my friend, racism is WRONG...no matter what the color, and should be shouted from the roof tops when it occurs so that it can be addressed. Racial double standards cannot be tolerated and the news media has to be unbiased and not dictated to by any ONE racial group as to shining a light upon it and reporting it! And for how long are the white people going to be held accountable for the past? I mean, really now. It wasn't the whites today who had slaves. It wasn't the whites today who treated black slaves horribly. How exactly are we to move onwards towards racial equality if the blacks continue to live in the past and point the finger of blame towards others? There comes a point when one must move beyond the blame and work towards making peace. And playing the "race card" whenever something happens to a black person and shouting accusations against other races that turn out to not be so true, isn't conducive towards meeting that end result of equality. It only serves to inflame the racial divide issue and keep the fires of racism alive!
So, I'm standing up...and not being so "politically correct" and doing what is right and shining a light upon a racial inequality and reporting it. It's time now for those of us who are not black to stand up when a racial injustice is done to us and say it's wrong and demand that it is reported loud and clear, so that ALL racial injustice towards ALL races is denounced and not acceptable...and not just for the black race!!

A History Lesson on Democide (When Government Has COMPLETE Control Over Its People)
Today, we sometimes hear that the Second Amendment has outlived its usefulness, that it is a relic of our barbaric past and is no longer needed in the modern era. Horrific mass shootings by deranged individuals are cited as the primary reason for Americans to surrender their most effective firearms and rely solely on a state monopoly of force for their protection. This government-dependent attitude is shortsighted, historically ignorant, and extremely dangerous.
In each of the cases cited above, a necessary preliminary step on the road to democide was the confiscation of privately owned firearms. In Turkey, “reasonable” gun control laws enacted in 1911 permitted the democide of two million Turkish Christians a few years later. In Germany, the “commonsense” 1928 gun control laws of the Weimar Republic preceded Hitler’s Holocaust by a decade.
The Weimar politicians did not intend for their gun control laws to lead to the slaughter of millions of people, but it is an historical fact that those gun control laws permitted the Nazis to carry out their Holocaust. How? By making it economically and militarily feasible to round up and mass murder entire towns without any significant resistance.
In fact, the Nazis quickly learned that they needed only a hundred ordinary military policemen to exterminate towns of a thousand Polish Jews in a single day. Contrast that fact with the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. If the Jews had not first been disarmed, using previous gun registration lists as a map for confiscation, the Holocaust would not have been possible.
Likewise in the Soviet Union and in every other case, democide was preceded by “reasonable and commonsense” firearms registration, followed eventually by gun confiscation and then by the extermination of a despised minority population.
During the past two centuries, while America has avoided tyranny, Turkey, Germany, Russia and the other nations mentioned above have spasmodically lurched between monarchs, democratically elected leaders, and often quite popular dictators, allowing them frequent opportunities to commit democide against their unwanted minorities.
The situation is fundamentally different in America, because we have a centuries-old tradition of private firearms ownership guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution. The Second Amendment does not “grant” us this right; it puts into writing our God-given natural right to effective self-defense, including armed defense against tyranny.
“Pure democracy” has been described as two wolves and a sheep voting on their dinner plans. The two wolves might see this election as an expression of their highest democratic values, but for the outnumbered sheep, pure democracy is highly problematic. On the other hand, a republic has been described as two wolves and a well-armed sheep voting on dinner plans. The well-armed sheep can veto the outcome of the dinner election simply by brandishing its firearm. The sheep has inherent rights as a sovereign individual, including the right to self-defense, a right that cannot be stripped away by a simple majority vote.
So, when a democratically elected American president speaks of “fundamentally transforming” his country, and of his need to act outside the constitutional framework, the population should be on guard. When that leader begins to push for strict new “commonsense and reasonable” gun control laws, including national firearms registration in the name of “public safety,” the citizenry should be on high alert.
Can any glib politician, pundit or ivory tower academic give us an ironclad guarantee that tyranny will never arise in the United States? Not even a popular tyranny, like those of Ataturk, Stalin, Hitler or Mao? Can anyone assure us that today’s “commonsense” gun registration lists will not be used for future gun confiscation? Of course not.
The future may be unknowable, but history is well understood, and American gun owners know and understand the history of democide in the 20th century. That is why they will never accede to what is currently portrayed in the predominantly left-wing mainstream media as “commonsense and reasonable” new gun control laws.
THIS IS A MUST READ FOR FULL UNDERSTANDING ABOUT DEMOCIDE

Adolf Hitler's Common Ground with MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry
by NextNewsNetwork
By now you've probably seen or heard the MSNBC propaganda piece featuring Melissa Harris-Perry.
In the promo for NBC's 24 hour news network Perry states, "We have to break through our private idea that children belong to their parents, or children belong to their families, and recognize that children belong to whole communities. Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the household's, we start making better investments."
In 1933 Adolf Hitler made a nearly identical statement on his quest to exterminate millions. Hitler declared in one of his trademark speeches, "When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side,' I calmly say, Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."
It appears the MSNBC host clearly shares some of Adolf Hitler's ideals.
Independent Foreclosure Review Settlement Settles NOTHING!
UPDATE: April 15, 2013:
I received my "settlement" check from the Independent Foreclosure Review scam.... and I fit into the modification denied category...NO surprise since I've been screaming that I was wrongly denied for over 4 years now!!! But, there's no offer for loan modification, no rescinding of my foreclosure offer, no correcting of the servicer record for excess interest, late fees, foreclosure fees, and/or any other improper amounts offer nor correcting my credit report offer. Just a measley $2000.00 when Countrywide over charged me $5000.00 before and I've lost so much more during this 3 1/2 year court battle which should have never happened to begin with had they not wrongly denied me my loan modification in the first place!!!!! AND... I STILL have to fight in my appeal to the Supreme Court so I won't lose my home because the lower court Judge...Justice Paul Fritchze wrongly found for the bank after denying me discovery and saying US Bank owned my note when the "true & accurate" copy of the original first filed to open this case wasn't even endorsed...and guess what? Over $1300.00 of that $2000.00 is gonna have to go towards paying for my fricking fracking court transcripts now for my appeal!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
****************************************************
Well, I hate to tell y'all this but... I talked with both Rust Consulting AND the Federal Reserve today and found out that of the 17 banks included with the Independent Foreclosure Review...only FOUR STILL are under the Financial Framework of that review: GMAC, Financial Freedom, EverBank/EverHome, One West Bank/IndyMac. CLICK HERE for the framework. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE BANKS WHO MADE THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. The other ones, made a settlement with the Fed Reserve & OCC.
Now, you may think that's good. But it isn't...and here's why. Under the frame work, not only is the bank "error" identified, and a reimbursement/payment made to you...but the bank would also have to do other things...according to each category...to fix that error. For instance, if you were wrongly denied a loan modification....the bank would pay you a certain amount...along with rescinding the foreclosure, giving you the loan modification that you should have gotten, correct servicer record for excess interest, late fees, foreclosure fees, and/or any other improper amounts, and correct credit reports. In other words, put you back whole again before the foreclosure due to their error.
BUT...now with this settlement between 13 big banks and the Feds & OCC...the ONLY thing these banks have to do...is give you the money! AND... THEY get to decide how much they give you!!!!!! So, they get to keep the foreclosure....sell your house....make you pay any difference between what they get and what is owed...your credit stays bad...and you get a measley amount for your troubles (which you don't really get cause they'll get it back with the difference between the sale price & what you owe!) NICE way to protect the homeowner, eh?
HERE IS THE NEW FINANCIAL FRAMEWORK for the 13 banks who settled. There's NO protection for the homeowner with required corrections of any happenings due to their "errors". They only have to pay money....and not much of that compared to what they got in enrichment from their "error" to begin with! PLUS....they get to steal your home AND you have to pay the difference between what they sell it for...and what they say was owed (cause we ALL know that when they sell your home, they won't get the full price of what's owed!).
I received my "settlement" check from the Independent Foreclosure Review scam.... and I fit into the modification denied category...NO surprise since I've been screaming that I was wrongly denied for over 4 years now!!! But, there's no offer for loan modification, no rescinding of my foreclosure offer, no correcting of the servicer record for excess interest, late fees, foreclosure fees, and/or any other improper amounts offer nor correcting my credit report offer. Just a measley $2000.00 when Countrywide over charged me $5000.00 before and I've lost so much more during this 3 1/2 year court battle which should have never happened to begin with had they not wrongly denied me my loan modification in the first place!!!!! AND... I STILL have to fight in my appeal to the Supreme Court so I won't lose my home because the lower court Judge...Justice Paul Fritchze wrongly found for the bank after denying me discovery and saying US Bank owned my note when the "true & accurate" copy of the original first filed to open this case wasn't even endorsed...and guess what?

Big Brother Possibly Has Your Info - Without Your Knowledge!
WND WRITES:
A team of privacy advocates and experts is launching a lawsuit against the FBI for refusing to provide to the public information about its new Next Generation Identification system, which the federal agency says is in demand among its customers for its biometric database of Americans.
The lawsuit has been filed against the FBI in Washington by the Electronic Privacy Information Center and it is demanding a court order that information about the program’s contracts with private companies as well as its technical specifications be made available.
EPIC confirmed that the NGI system upon completion “will be the largest biometric database in the world” and will include files of fingerprints, DNA profiles. iris scans, palm prints, voice identification profiles, photographs and other identifying information already collected by states, counties – and even schools.
“The FBI will use facial recognition to match images in the database against facial images obtained from CCTV and elsewhere,” the organization said, noting there already are an estimated 30 million spy cameras across the United States.
The complaint explains that the FBI announced in 2009 the NGI system was being created to record, analyze and use biometrics of U.S. citizens – whether they know that their details have been recorded or not.
EPIC followed up shortly later with Freedom of Information Act requests for details about the program’s contracts with private companies – such as who would get access to Americans’ biometrics and why, as well as questions about the technical specifications.
That was because the database was expected to include millions of photographs, fingerprints, voiceprints and other identifiers of people who are not criminals – and are not even suspects in crimes, EPIC said. In fact, they are individuals who probably “are unaware that their images and biometric identifiers were captured.”
One of the circumstances is that some law enforcement officers now are using handheld devices that allow them to “scan irises and faces of individuals and match them against biometric databases.”
Also, some “school districts now are requiring children to provide biometric identifiers, such as palm prints.”
That there is a danger was made clear because a private company was found trying to sell its biometric database of American consumers after its parent company, Verified Identity Pass, collapsed into bankruptcy, the complaint said.
“Personally identifiable information could be lost or misused as a result” of the new program, the complaint said.
Among the private companies thought to be involved are Lockheed Martin, IBM, Accenture, BAE Systems Information Technology, Global Science & Technology, Innovative Management and Technology Services and Platinum Solutions.
States already thought to be providing biometric details to the NGI include Arizona, Hawaii, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Although the FBI admitted that it had more than 7,300 pages of documentation that responded to the requests, EPIC has yet to see any, the complaint alleges.
The FBI explains that it launched the biometric database of Americans because of “customer requirements.”
The FBI said it is expected to replace its existing fingerprint ID system, as well as expand the agency’s capabilities into “multimodal functionality.”
“The NGI Program Office mission is to reduce terrorist and criminal activities by improving and expanding biometric identification and criminal history information services through research, evaluation, and implementation of advanced technology,” the FBI explains.
It specifically calls for iris records and search capabilities, palm prints, facial recognition capabilities and other components of a “unimodel” system.
“The framework will be expandable, scalable, and flexible to accommodate new technologies and biometric standards, and will be interoperable with existing systems. Once developed and implemented, the NGI initiatives and multimodal functionality will promote a high level of information sharing, support interoperability, and provide a foundation for using multiple biometrics for positive identification,” the FBI said.

It's Different When The Shoe's On The OTHER Foot!
An undercover video investigation by Project Veritas, whose founder James O’Keefe is widely known for his devastating exposé of ACORN, found that journalists with the paper that recently exposed gun-permit holders in the New York City area are unwilling to take a dose of their own medicine and declare their homes “gun-free zones.”
Stops by the team included the homes of Newark Star Ledger columnist Bob Braun, Journal News publisher Janet Hasson, reporter Alex Weisler, Journal News editor Cynthia Lambert and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
O’Keefe’s crew asked journalists whether they would put a sign on their lawn that says “Citizens Against Senseless Violence. THIS HOME IS PROUDLY GUN FREE!”
Uniformly they were denied permission.

Chicken Little Liberals Global Warming Scare A Hoax!
The so called "science experts" have been screaming about greenhouse gases warming up our climate for over a decade. Even Al Gore got into the act with a couple of books he wrote (although I have absolutely NO clue on what made him a climate expert!). Many were deceived into believing that mankind is mostly to blame for this and we here in America especially. With all our cars, and our indulgent way of living being touted as the main contributors to global warming. Never mind that our great earth goes through its own cycles of periodic weather changes, it's mankind's fault!
And because of this, the bleeding heart liberals and tree huggers won over reason in making us feel like we're ruining the planet in keeping ourselves warm in the winter with our oil and coal, we're too selfish in driving ourselves to work, or school, or shopping or Lord forbid.... VACATIONING! They made it so that there have been many changes made to our way of life that has cost us much in money and sacrifice....all under the guise that we must stop what we're doing otherwise it will kill our earth and us, with poisoning through greenhouse gases and wild climate changes!
Well, there has been a minority of us who have seen reason and said to all of the above: BULLCHIPS! This amounts to nothing more than a "Chicken Little" state of being and has not much to do with mankind, but has everything to do with earth and its own regular cycle of life! We were pooh-hooed and called names, uncaring and sometimes demonized as destroyers of the earth! Wellllllll....it now seems like we have been vindicated!! And because of this, the bleeding heart liberals and tree huggers won over reason in making us feel like we're ruining the planet in keeping ourselves warm in the winter with our oil and coal, we're too selfish in driving ourselves to work, or school, or shopping or Lord forbid....

The Economist has been fairly consistent in its stand that carbon dioxide emissions from man-made sources are the chief cause of global warming. But in an editorial this week, it sounds less certain.
Global warming predictions haven’t panned out as predicted in the past decade, but the why is a bit fuzzy, the magazine admits.
Greenhouse gas emissions have soared during the past 15 years, the magazine notes, with 100 billion tons of carbon having been added to the atmosphere between 2000 and 2010. Still, both air and ground temperatures during that time have remained virtually unchanged.
In fact, the editorial notes, surface temperatures have been at the bottom of the projected range of various models since 2005. If they remain flat, they will actually begin to fall below projections shortly.
“The mismatch between rising greenhouse-gas emissions and not-rising temperatures is among the biggest puzzles in climate science just now,” The Economist said. But with global temperatures up by almost 1 degree Celsius in the last century, the magazine says, “the puzzle does need explaining.”
Buried deep in the highly technical piece, the magazine admits that evidence suggests something that global warming skeptics have long maintained: Natural variations in the earth’s climate likely play a bigger role than scientific models have said.
WOW! Imagine that, eh??!! The earth just may have NATURAL VARIATIONS in it's climate changes!! Wonder where we've heard that before?? OK...I'm gonna say it...

More Of Big Brother Is Watching!
The REAL reason why our government has requested the law be changed to allow drone surveillance in the United States!
Is this a mosquito? No. It's an insect spy drone for urban areas, already in production, funded by the US Government. It can be remotely controlled and is equipped with a camera and a microphone. It can land on you, and it may have the potential to take a DNA sample or leave RFID tracking nanotechnology on your skin. It can fly through an open window, or it can attach to your clothing until you take it in your home. Given their propensity to request macro-sized drones for surveillance, one is left with little doubt that police and military may look into these gadgets next. (And to think we were worried about West Nile virus!)
Think this is just a scam? Well, I goggled and got this:
So go check it out for yourself!!!

Media Wages War On Logic [More Laws, Please!]
By Tim Schmidt
USCCA Founder
Sensationalism always gets better ratings than rationale.
What does this do to honest, well-meaning Americans who are unfamiliar with the issues at hand in the media? It causes them to attach legitimate emotions to false solutions. For example:
Legitimate Emotion: It is unjust, heartbreaking and horrifying when innocent men, women and children are murdered by criminals with guns.
False Solution: Outlaw certain types of guns and magazines, implement stricter gun laws, and work towards a gun-free nation.
There isn’t a sane person on earth who would argue that it’s a good thing when someone is murdered by a person with a gun. It is a terrible crime that all of us wish didn’t exist. Sadly, the barbaric reality of murder is something that we have all come to expect in the news each day.
While I wish there was a magic button that we could push in order to make criminals disappear forever, we all know that crime isn’t going away. In fact, I would argue that men and women have been trying to create this “magic button” since the dawn of civilization. That “magic button” is the countless laws that have been created in every government throughout history.
“Thou Shall Not Murder” is likely the most common law in history, and has held the steepest penalties. Yet, murderers have never obeyed the law. Why?
It’s simple: Laws don't stop criminals intent on committing crimes from committing crimes.
So what’s the solution for the injustice of criminals preying upon the innocent? At the USCCA, we believe the solution is to level the playing field and give innocent, law-abiding people the ability to defend themselves from criminals.
Our founders had the wisdom to write this basic human right into our constitution, and we must hold fast to the truth that every person has the right to defend themselves and their loved ones from harm.
Don’t let the lying sensationalism of the media intimidate you and keep you quiet. Stand for your rights and be unapologetic about your belief that innocent lives are best protected by responsibly armed Americans like you.
Take care and stay safe.
