SWAT Army Occupies Boston

"What is particularly relevant here, and chilling from my point of view, is an observation Jeff Snyder makes in his powerful book, 'Nation of Cowards.' Snyder talks about the change that takes place, that must take place, in the psyche of a person who is protected by others as a matter of routine. He accepts that protection in exchange for some portion of his own sense of personal responsibility. As a result, he can often be more easily controlled by those protectors. We're well on our way."

Sore Loser

"Obummer hasn't let the fact that Congress stymied his evisceration of the Second Amendment to daunt him. 'Even without Congress,' this shameless dictator confessed [emphasis added], 'my administration will keep doing everything it can to protect more of our communities.' 'The Health and Human Services Department on Friday was beginning to ask for public comment on how the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, passed by Congress in 1996 and known as HIPAA, is preventing some states from reporting to the background check system and how to address the problem.' Obummer has vowed to 'fix' that 'problem.'" Continue reading →

Gold’s Black Market?

"Have investors really lost faith? We read that gold demand in Asia and India remains very strong and informal reports from gold buyers (for physical gold) seem to indicate that it is difficult to buy gold at any price. Silver, not much better. One explanation for this would be that the paper market and the physical market are diverging. The paper market, according to those who see this crash as manipulated, is easy to push down. The physical market might reject these manipulations were it a mark-to-market operation. But it is not. The physical price of gold is apparently fixed twice a day by a consortium of wise men." Continue reading →

The Boston Bombers and the FBI Connection

"'My son would never do this. It is a set-up,' the woman continued in her interview with RT. 'He was controlled by FBI for like, three, five years. They knew what my son was doing. They knew what actions and what sites on the Internet he was going. He used to come home, they used to come and talk to me. They used to tell me that, you know, that they are controlling his – they were telling me that he’s really a serious leader and they’re afraid of him. They said, they told me that whatever he is, whatever country decides, whatever is there, whatever information he’s getting, they are controlling him, so how could this happen?'" Continue reading →

Muslim woman reports assault following ‘dark-skinned’ Boston bombing suspect reports

"A Muslim woman in Boston says that she was attacked by a white man on on Wednesday morning because he was apparently enraged by the Boston Marathon bombings and convinced, despite a lack of evidence, that the perpetrators were Muslim. Heba Abolaban told Malden Patch that she and her friend, who were both wearing hijabs, were walking on Commercial Street with their children when a white male in his thirties punched her in her left shoulder. 'He was screaming ‘Fuck you Muslims! You are terrorists! I hate you! You are involved in the Boston explosions! Fuck you!’' she recalled. 'Oh my lord, I was extremely shocked.'" Continue reading →

Mob Rule in Boston

"Demonstrating that the media is just as incompetent as the authorities, reckless and breathless photos of brown-skinned and Middle Eastern-looking people plastered across the pages of the (thankfully) dying corporate print media are terrorizing innocent teens who are nevertheless pictured as 'persons of interest.' It is a mob rule mentality, fanning the flames of the lynch mob. What a horrible time to be living-while-Muslim (or appearing that way to some morons) in the New England area. As Politico points out, the corporate media no longer even plays lip service to the basics of reporting and fact-checking." Continue reading →
