Party at the ATF Celebrating Gun Control?

Colorado --I'd love to tell you that I'm inviting you to a party in your honor, but unfortunately, I'm not. There was a party in Washington, DC last week to celebrate..taking your gun rights away. No, I wasn't invited. And neither were you. Just federal bureaucrats celebrating gun control. You are reading that right. Whistle-blowers at CleanUptheATF.org tell us there was an actual party at the ATF to celebrate gun control. Just to add a little salt to our wounds, the party was thrown with our tax dollars.

Windfarms: The 2 km setback adopted in the state of Victoria, Australia

This letter from an Australian physician explains the situation better than a thick book: The "truth about wind farming" in this state is that it is making some adjoining neighbours to wind developments in Victoria seriously unwell, forcing some families out of their homes and off their multigenerational farms. Others are literally trapped in homes becoming increasingly unwell, and are unable to sell, or move. Turbine hosts and their families have also been adversely affected, but their contracts restrict them from talking publicly. Some are now privately contacting us for advice and information.

Repeal of firearms bill was a promise made by government

For once I would like some "straight" answers to my questions from our politicians. I have written the Prime Minister and received two automated replies of their arrival. This is in regards to the repealing of Bill C-68 as promised. "Bill C-68 (The Firearms Act) has proven to be a bad law and has created a bureaucratic nightmare for both gun owners and the government.

The United States of America

People are now divided across the United States, everyone has an opinion of what they want and how this country should or should not be. It's hard for people to agree on most anything anymore. Toss in the media and a hand full of high pressure lawyers along with the lobbyist of pharmaceutical kingdoms topped off with a promise to congress of wealth and untold fortune backed by military industrialism and world bankers. Mix that explosive combination up with the rising gas & food prices property tax, wage tax, and hundreds of other taxes set forth upon the people with every intent of emptying Americas pockets.

New Blue Nightmare: Clarence Thomas and the Amendment of Doom

By Walter Russell Mead, American Interest Lord of the Rings aficionados know that the evil lord Sauron paid little attention to the danger posed by two hobbits slowly struggling across the mountains and deserts of Mordor until he suddenly realized that the ring on which all his power depended was about to be hurled into the pits of Mount Doom. All at once the enemy plan became clear; what looked like stupidity was revealed as genius, and Sauron understood everything just when it was too late to act.

The Hurricane Irene Apocalypse That Never Was

The images summed up Hurricane Irene--the media and the United States federal government trying to live up to their own doom-laden warnings and predictions while a sizeable number of ordinary Americans just carried on as normal and even made gentle fun of all the fuss. The truth is that the dire warning beforehand suited both politicians and journalists. Irene became a huge story because it was where the media lived. For politicians, Irene was a chance to either make amends or appear in control. The White House sent out 25 Irene emails to the press on Saturday alone. --Toby Harnden, The Daily Telegraph, 28 August 2011 . . .

Use More Helicopters

On August 6, 2011, the U.S. lost 30 special forces troops, including 22 Navy SEALS in a helicopter shot down over Afghanistan. These people were the elite of our military who have trained for these missions over many years. Unfortunately we have suffered similar losses in prior missions where helicopters loaded with military personnel have been shot down or crashed due to equipment problems. Helicopters are relatively slow moving vehicles, especially the large Chinook helicopters, which operate in close proximity to the ground. They make easy targets for rocket propelled grenades and hand held missile systems. We need missile and RPG counter measure defensive systems to protect our vulnerable helicopters.

Who is fighting the battles?

As someone who spent a year in Southern Afghanistan, outside the wire of our Forward Operating Base frequently, I am asking the media on the ground in Libya to show the men who are actually fighting the battles. Showing “freedom fighters” walking down the street in t-shirts with only their weapon and the one magazine in the weapon, you are not going to convince the hundreds of thousands of American service men and women that these guys are rebels that are actually fighting battles. It is so obviously staged by the media that it is an insult to anyone who has watched a John Wayne movie that these “rebels” never fired a shot that wasn’t in the air or at a mystical mirage in the distance. Obviously, NATO ground troops including either U.S. Special Forces or CIA operators are fighting the battles.

Please, just answer me!

For once I would like some "straight" answers to my questions from our politicians. I have wrote the Prime Minister and received two automated replies of their arrival. This is in regards to the repealing of Bill C-68 as promised.
"Bill C-68 [The Firearms Act] has proven to be a bad law and has created a bureaucratic nightmare for both gun owners and the government. As Leader of the Official Opposition, I will use all powers afforded to me as Leader and continue our party's fight to repeal Bill C-68 and replace it with a firearms control system that is cost effective and respects the rights of Canadians to own and use firearms responsibly."

What’s up with Huston and Levin?

Why is Warner Todd Huston hell bent on saying Ron Paul is not the godfather of the tea party? Even if we don't like Ron Paul, history is history. So, I was surprised to see this bit of DISINFO on Canada Free Press.

Albert “Doc” Brown

imageST. LOUIS (AP) - A doctor once told Albert Brown he shouldn't expect to make it to 50, given the toll taken by his years in a Japanese labor camp during World War II and the infamous, often-deadly march that got him there. But the former dentist made it to 105, embodying the power of a positive spirit in the face of inordinate odds.
