Mark Dice covers the long gun open carry event at Pacific Beach on Saturday October 22, 2011. Second Amendment supporters gathered on the boardwalk openly displaying their rifles, shotguns, and handguns to educate the public about the Second Amendment and to highlight California Governor Jerry Brown’s unconstitutional actions restricting the right to bear arms.

(Rense) – Over the past two weeks, I have been closing down and moving money out of my Bank of America accounts. I have done my personal and business (I own a consulting business) banking there for over ten years but have decided to vote with my wallet and express my displeasure with the system by removing my money from their clutches. One by one, I have zeroed out the balances on various accounts by transferring and consolidating via their website. After each transfer I then called to close the accounts over the phone without issue. Read the rest of this entry »
(DailyMail) – Gaddafi thugs gunned down in cold blood by the Libya ‘good guys’ who ‘regard themselves as above the law’
It was a scene from hell, but perhaps most chilling was the realisation that these were not victims of Muammar Gaddafi’s brutality.
Rather they were, the evidence would suggest, victims of the ‘good guys’, the supposedly democratic new friends of the West who have been ushered into power by Britain, France and the U.S. Read More Here
(PaulWatson) – Beck: EAS Test Allows Feds to ‘Seize Control’ of Communications
For the first time, broadcasters will have no choice on whether to partake in the nationwide alert
Radio host Glenn Beck has spoken of his fear that the upcoming Emergency Alert System test being conducted by Homeland Security and FEMA on November 9 gives the government the pretext to “seize control” of communications in America, because for the first time broadcasters will have no choice on whether to partake.

(MediaRoots) – Rhetoric aside, Obama continues to be the darling of Wall Street. In 2008, President Obama racked up $750 million dollars for his Presidential campaign, and is projected to take in roughly $1 billion dollars for 2012. Although the President appears to commiserate with the Occupy Wall Street movement and its dissatisfaction of Wall Street’s influence over politics, Obama has raised far more money this year from the financial and banking sector than any other GOP candidate combined. With such astronomical figures with which Obama’s been bought by the ruling-class, it’s no surprise he has broken virtually every campaign promise. With this kind of financial sway, it must be fully expected he will do it again, should mass cognitive dissonance persist in 2012 granting him another four years. Read the rest of this entry »
(BoilingFrogsPost) – Recently, Mark Hosenball dropped the bombshell that a secret panel of White House Security Council members meets to draw up a “kill list” of American militants. Salon columnist Glenn Greenwald wrote a scathing critiqueof the panel, comparing it to a notorious English court known as the “Star Chamber.”
“[A] panel operating out of the White House — that meets in total secrecy, with no known law or rules governing what it can do or how it operates — is empowered to place American citizens on a list to be killed by the CIA, which (by some process nobody knows) eventually makes its way to the President, who is the final Decider. It is difficult to describe the level of warped authoritarianism necessary to cause someone to lend their support to a twisted Star Chamber like that.”Read the rest of this entry »

(McGowanFund) – Worldwide Corporate Conspiracy? There’s a Grain of Truth to It
The idea that the world is being led by a nefarious corporate cabal, a real-life and ruthless Illuminati has great appeal for some of the Occupy protesters and others who blame corporations for the world’s ills. Such enemies have always been the province of the paranoid, but now new research by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich shows that such a structure may indeed exist and the concentration of power in such few hands – coupled with greed and poor leadership – may be one of the root causes of the world’s current financial difficulties.

(MediaRoots) – This is an older story worthy of re-posting because it’s a perfect example of how the federal government actively tries to perpetuate ‘terrorism’ in an attempt to justify the continuation of the ‘War on Terror’. Back in December 2010, an FBI informant (and former criminal) was paid $177,000 tax free in the course of 15 months to try to exploit psychologically troubled people into committing acts of violence at a California mosque. Hilariously, the plot backfired on him when senior members of the mosque ended up reporting HIM to the FBI. It is highly disturbing that precious US taxpayer resources are being wasted on outrageous plots like these in order to validate a virtually non-existent threat. Abby – Read the rest of this entry »

(ZeroHedge) – Europe Goes Full Bailout Retard: EFSF Rescue Capital To Be Officially Double-Counted

Because as we pointed out on Thursday, “nothing changes the fact that with €100 billion set aside for bank recaps, a woefully low number and one which will do nothing to assure investors that banks have sufficient capital, there is still not enough cash to “guarantee” all future issuance” – well it appears that Europe finally did the math which led us to conclude that the EFSF is DOA. So what is Europe’s solution? Read More Here

(WashExam) – Many of the proponents of man-made global warming are now claiming that climate change is worse than they predicted. According to an Oct. 18, 2011, Daily Climate article, global warming activists claim that the “evidence builds that scientists underplay climate impacts,” and “if anything, global climate disruption is likely to be significantly worse than has been suggested.”
But a forthcoming Climate Depot A-Z Climate Reality Check report on the failure of the science behind man-made global warming theory will shatter any such illusions that the climate is “worse than we thought.” Recent scientific data and developments reveal that Mother Nature is playing a cruel joke on the promoters of man-made climate fears.

It’s easy to demonize genetically modified crops. After all, we don’t exactly know what their long-term health effects are, and they have the nasty habit of cross-pollinating with non-GMO crops. When new stories come out about advances in the field, many people react with anger and fear. But the Gates Foundation (and Bill Gates himself) has long supported the use of GMO foods to increase crop yields and nutrition in the developing world. And now the foundation has joined the Monsanto Fund and the Howard Buffett Foundation in giving $11.9 million to the Virus Resistant Cassava For Africa (VIRCA) project, which is developing cassava varieties that can resist deadly viruses. Is it possible, then, that Gates can use GMO technology for good?

Thousands of people have taken to the streets in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, protesting against US assassination drone attacks in Pakistan’s tribal areas, Press TV reports.

The short message was broadcast on Syrian TV station Al-Rai on Sunday and was soon uploaded by several users onto YouTube.

Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact.

The moment they become aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for withholding it from him. ~ H.L.
