Thoreau once said....

....to the effect of: "The world will not end with a bang, but with a whimper."

If the evil elite simply forced marshal law tomorrow and began rolling main battle tanks down the streets of every city in the USA, in a matter of hours there would be rioting in every street in the nation. If they move slower...make the martial law subjective at first.... Distract the people with crises (real or imaginary) that command their attention. "Show a raunchy scandal in the news and you can… Continue

U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein responding to your message

Dear Mrs. Ware:

Thank you for writing to express your opposition to the "American Clean Energy and Security Act" (H.R. 2454). I appreciate hearing your thoughts about this bill, and I welcome the opportunity to respond.

As you know, on June 26, 2009, the House of Representatives voted 219-212 to approve the "American Clean Energy and Security Act," which caps greenhouse gas emissions from major U.S. sources, requires electric utilities to meet 20… Continue

How to be a swine flu vaccine zealot (satire)

NaturalNews) Swine flu vaccine zealots are like zombies... they just keep coming at you, mindless... heartless... empty-headed and a tad funky on the smell, too. But I've noticed from observing the behavior of a few such zealots that not all of them fully comprehend precisely how to act like a mindless vaccine zealot. There's more to it than just parroting whatever the FDA says. You actually have to get with the zealot program if you want to be taken seriously as a swine flu vaccine… Continue

The Swine Flu (aka 'H1N1) That's Not A Flu At All !!!!! ???

The current Swine "flu" pandemic began in La Gloria, a pig-farming village in the Veracruz mountains of Mexico. Surely, if any place could unlock the true nature of the cause of the 2009 Pandemic, it would be found in La Gloria, whose villagers were certain that they were sickened by the surrounding pig farms, which they accused of polluting their air and water with pig waste. This is much like what… Continue

15-07-2002 US planning to recruit one in 24 Americans as citizen spies

How did they know? They're not part of Merdoch's Media Empire are they?

The Bush Administration aims to recruit millions of United States citizens as domestic informants in a program likely to alarm civil liberties groups.

The Terrorism Information and Prevention System, or TIPS, means the US will have a higher percentage of citizen informants than the former East Germany through the infamous Stasi secret police. The program would use a minimum of 4 per cent of Americans to… Continue

The U.S. military's quest to weaponize culture

The Pentagon seems to have decided that anthropology is to the war on terror what physics was to the Cold War. As an anthropologist, this makes me very nervous.

Where former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld believed that the United States would vanquish its enemies through technological superiority, his replacement Robert Gates has said that cultural expertise in counterinsurgency operations will be crucial in the future wars he anticipates.

When research that could…

A Trip Back Home Turns Into A Trip Into The Swinelight Zone

I just came back with the fam's from a trip to the Upper Peninsula of MI and even though it rained everyday, a good time was had by all! It was nice to hide out in the woods for awhile and be in the comfort of family and friends. Unfortunately, the trip had a few question marks lingering and things that make you go hmmmm along the way!

One thing that was a little askew about this particular trip to the U.P. was all the school closings going on over fear of the spread of the Swine… Continue

Former AG Michael Mukasey: Our Laws Brought About 9-11 Attacks

WSJ

The Obama administration has said it intends to try several of the prisoners now detained at Guantanamo Bay in civilian courts in this country. This would include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and other detainees allegedly involved. The Justice Department claims that our courts are well suited to the task.

Based on my experience trying such cases, and what I saw as attorney general, they aren't. That is not to say that… Continue

Dollar Collapse Update: "Obama Demands Pay in Euros!"

by Mike Whitney

The "dollar debate" on the Internet has been ferocious and emotionally-charged, but sadly lacking in logic. To oppose the "dollar will crash" theorists is like arguing a woman's right to choose with the fist-waving throng assembled outside an abortion clinic. The results are equally disappointing. To say that "minds are already made up and the issue is settled",… Continue

The Biggest Scam Is Yet To Come

That's right.

All of us here on 12.160Mhz are sort of pre-programmed to recognize political, banking, military and corporate scams that are sometimes even of global proportions. It's in our nature, right?

The next one and perhaps the largest one ever hasn't even begun, but it's brewing.

Unemployment, the unemployment figure provided by our political machine, is determined by calculating the number of people actually collecting unemployment compensation. Right… Continue

UK Citizens Appetite For The Surveillance Society Life Is Slowly But Steadly Ending

Is this Orwellian or what???? “They said my privacy wasn’t intruded on because the surveillance was covert,” she said. Covert = no privacy violations???? So, restating it differently, if you don't see them watching you they are not violating privacy?? Isn't that called stalking? They are making a mockery of the laws around the world. Can anyone not say we are entering another dark age?

I wonder how much more the UK citizens will tolerate. The question is once they choose to fight,… Continue
