The Third Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that “no Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”
Obviously, the Third Amendment has little relevance today. But what is relevant for us today is the mindset that underlay the passage of that amendment – a mindset of deep antipathy toward militarism and…

The official explanation for Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize is that the Norwegians are using the Nobel as an incentive for the president to fulfill what many see as his bright promise and a kind of prophylactic against a repeat of Bush-era warmongering. After all, how could a recipient of the Peace Prize engage in the kind of brazen militarism that has characterized U.S. foreign policy in the post-9/11 era?
Easy – do it on the…

The pale gold 'halo' could be seen above the Russian capital city's Western District on Wednesday, and was captured on film by stunned Muscovites.

Subject:
Hold Ben Bernanke Accountable
Dear Senator,
Last week, Congressmen Ron Paul and Alan Grayson sent an open letter to the Senate Banking Committee about the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke. I agree with their sentiments that, before he is reconfirmed for a second term, the Senate should know who got the $2 trillion the Federal Reserve has lent out over the last two years. Only then will the Senate be able to judge…

FEMA camps simply won't hold 39 million Americans.
By Robert Singer-
The U.S. Department of Labor Official Employment rate in September 2009 is now 90% (Unofficial rate is 75%).
And for those Americans who are still employed, they will find it harder to get that sweet deal on a new car because auto dealers won’t be competing with each other now that Brian Deese, special assistant to president Obama for economic policy made the decision (not the Chrysler…

Psychiatry is a NWO scam.
To ensure that psychiatry “permeate every educational activity of national life” and “infiltrate the professional and social activities of [all] people” was a global goal that originated with British Brigadier General Dr. John Rawlings Rees in a 1940 speech to the National Council for Mental Hygiene. He ended on an ominous note: “Though our knowledge be incomplete … I think we must imitate the Totalitarians and organize some kind of fifth column…

When war becomes peace,
When concepts and realities are turned upside down,
When fiction becomes truth and truth becomes fiction.
When a global military agenda is heralded as a humanitarian endeavor,
When the killing of civilians is upheld as "collateral damage",
When those who resist the US-NATO led invasion of their homeland are categorized as "insurgents" or "terrorists".

As social networking becomes a dominant feature of daily life, the secret state is increasingly surveilling electronic media for what it euphemistically calls "actionable intelligence."
Take the case of Elliot Madison. The 41-year-old anarchist was arrested in Pittsburgh September 24 at the height of G20 protests.
Madison, a social worker and volunteer with The People's Law Collective in New York City, was busted by a combined task force led by the Pennsylvania State…

Oct. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Machines that pump blood through an artificial lung helped save dozens of critically ill swine flu patients, doctors in Australia and New Zealand found.
The finding, based on the first population-wide study of the use of lung-bypass machines in the influenza pandemic, suggests Northern Hemisphere nations can expect a winter surge in demand for life-support equipment made by companies including Getinge AB and Medtronic Inc.

These policies need to be rewritten. Children who are just beginning to learn right from wrong are being severely punished for reasons they don't understand. School are teaching children how to be labeled a miscreant or criminal. Then the children are sent to reform schools? How much grease did someone's palm get? These policies can completely turn a child and his/her family's life upside down. Children like the one here can even become afraid to go to…
