If, sometime in the future, the Department of Homeland Security goes after seemingly harmless websites, fearing that they are somehow terriorist related, thank this guy for starting it all:

This is Julian Assange of Wikileaks, who decided yesterday to dump 250,000 documents out for the world to see. Needless to say, neither the Democrats or Republicans are very happy with him at the… Continue

So let me see if I have this straight...



If I fly, I can be randomly chosen to go through a scanner that would, if run through a negative enhancer, would show most details of my nakedness.



If I choose not to be scanned, I can be sexually assaulted by a TSA agent who does not change gloves despite touching the genitals of many of the same gender, thus increasing the chance of catching an sexual disease.



If I choose to do neither, first you, the TSA, I would be… Continue

The day that I write this is the 47th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the then sitting president of the United States. And, as many argue, perhaps the last true POTUS. The nine men to occupy the throne since have been figureheads, there to do the bidding of the shadow government. The muscle provided by the military industrial complex, the finances provided by the Federal Reserve.



We now have, in this fall of 2010, a total assault on what America used to be. Trips… Continue

I always tell my friends that a lame duck Congress is the most dangerous time for all of us in the two year cycle of a given U.S. Congress. Our representatives and senators seem to lose their inhibitions in this almost two month cycle, running rampant on our liberties like vacationers visiting Club Med.



The most recent evidence of this came this morning, in the form of a vote by the House Judiciary Committee on… Continue

The following ideas are not mine. They have circulated the Internet for a few years now. I think we can say without a doubt that half of these characteristics apply to us in this country here and now. Some of us can make the argument that 10-11 of these are also true today. As America sinks deeper into something that is becoming totally unrecognizable, these characteristics are good yardsticks to judge our country by.



And they are:



Powerful and Continuing… Continue

The time of 9:50am ET came yesterday, and went. The world is, at least for now, still in one piece.



It is easy on one hand, as I was last night on my Facebook page to mock and be critical of that "rickety time machine" Cliff High and George Ure speak of. (I linked what I called a "fail" to a skit done by Rowan Atkinson and the late Peter Cook some 30 years ago about the end of times.) We live in an age of instant… Continue

My first experience of Alex Jones was in 2004, or was it 2005? I had a chance to look at a 9/11 DVD, the one hosted by Ed Begley, Jr. in New York on one of the 9/11 anniversaries. I would go to the libraries in my area, and when YouTube got hot a few years ago, I wanted to watch more of that video mentioned in that DVD,… Continue

Well folks, this is my first blog entry here on the mighty Twelve-One-Sixty. It's just before 5pm ET as I type this, and I get this video from We Are Change St. Pete.



The We Are Change chapters here in the Tampa Bay area are on a roll. They spoke out when President Clinton recently visited St. Petersburg to support the Democrats candidate, Kendrick Meek. Then, somewhere along what looked… Continue
