It’s like Ron Paul always says: We can’t afford this government. They should do what the constitution authorizes, and little, if anything, else.

UN Human Rights Official Wants Investigation Into US Government Role In 9/11

“John Bolton: ‘This is exactly why we voted against the new human rights council.’

An official in the newly formed UN Human Rights Council has called for a fresh investigation into the events of 9/11 in order to examine the possible role that neoconservatives may have played in the attacks. . . .

Last month Japanese member of Parliament Yukihisa Fujita told the Alex Jones Show that a potential new investigation of the 9/11 cover-up may be coordinated by individuals within the United Nations.”

Our Government’s War Against the Constitution

DOJ memo says “Fourth Amendment had no application to domestic military operations.”

“The American Civil Liberties Union has uncovered details pertaining to a secret Justice Department memo from October 2001 that reveals the Bush administration effectively suspended the Fourth Amendment where domestic counter terrorism operations are concerned.” (Read More from Infowars.net)

I once took an oath . . . something about supporting and defending the Constitution . . . something about all enemies . . . foreign and domestic.

America’s Dying Honey Bees
(and what we hear about them)

It is an understatement to say that across the United States, honeybees are dying. Their population is crashing, 20 – 70% losses. What’s become known as “colony collapse disorder” is a bigger deal that you might think, because honeybees are essential for pollinating crops. Up to a third of our food production relies on honeybees for pollination.

A wide rift has emerged between mainstream media and the alternative press, with the latter focusing on the GM crops as the cause, the former focusing on everything but.

ABCNews: Virus May Be Causing Honeybees’ Deaths
NYTimes: “. . . viruses, fungus and poor bee nutrition . . . . mites . . . . insecticides”
NBCNews: Bee Killers? Pesticides are a probably cause

By contrast, globalresearch.ca published this story which examines the possibility of mites, parasites, cell phones, and genetically modified “terminator seeds,” and concludes that the GM crops are killing our honeybees. Here’s another indy press story that acknowledges the possibility of GM crops as the culprit.

For anyone who doubts GM crops are worth investigating, see this BBCNews story about GM pollen killing monarch butterflies.

For anyone who doubts our “free” press is capable of such overt deception, watch this clip about how Fox “News” buried the Monsanto story and fired the reporters who insisted on accurately reporting proven dangers about genetic engineering in milk production.

NY Times Applauds Fed’s Robbery of American Public

The NY Times enthusiastically applauds the Dow’s recent rally.

Jim Rogers, respected CEO of Roger’s holdings, comments why the Fed’s artificially-created market rally is good for bankers, but BAD FOR AMERICANS. “It’s certainly good for me. It’s not good for the world, but it’s good for me, and I don’t approve at all.”

“Why is it the end of the world if an investment bank goes bankrupt? Where is it in the federal reserve’s mandate to bail out xyz investment bank. . . If you bail out every investment bank that gets into trouble, that’s not capitalism, it’s socialism for the rich, and why should 300 million Americans suffer so we can bail out two or three investment banks?”

Asked what he would do if he had Fed Chairman Bernanke’s job, he said: “Step one is abolish the Federal Reserve and step two is resign. . . . no country in the world has ever succeeded by debasing its currency.”

Oscar Winning Actress Questions 9/11, Media Retaliates

Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard openly questioned the accounts of 9/11 in an interview with a French website.

Since then, this shameless hit piece appeared in Hollywood Today. The hit piece takes an incredulous stand against her (disinformation technique #2), suggests contradicting the official account of 9/11 will torpedoe her career (disinformation technique #24), associates her comments with ones she made in passing about the moon landing (disinformation technique #10), labels her beliefs bizarre (disinformation technique #5), and invokes the feelings of 9/11 survivors (disinformation technique #8) despite the fact that the majority of victim’s family members doubt the official story and have been pushing for a new investigation for years – as attested to by Bill Doyle, head of the largest victim’s family support group.

Don’t let the media fool you. There’s a huge movement seeking 9/11 truth.

Rumors of Voter Fraud

–3% exit poll margin morphs into 10%
–Clinton Comback, courtesy of diebold
–Caucus Chair Discovers glaring discrepancy (which happens to favor Hillary)

Like I always say:
1) If we had a free press, we’d know more about this.
2) You can imagine how delighted I am by the vast money and blood shed to establish “democracy” in Iraq and Afghanistan, while the integrity our own elections remain, at best, unverifiable.

Settlers Dig Tunnels Around Jerusalem

Jerusalem

“Jewish settler groups are digging an extensive tunnel network under Muslim areas of Jerusalem’s Old City while building a ring of settlements around it to bolster their claim to the disputed city in any future peace deal, anti-settlement campaigners have told The Times.

One group, the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, said that settler tunnels could one day extend under the al-Aqsa mosque, Islam’s third-holiest site, and claimed that extremists could use the access route to attack the structure in an attempt to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state.” (Read More)
