The rolling blackouts now being implemented in Texas and across the country as record cold weather grips the United States are a direct consequence of the Obama administration’s agenda to lay siege to the coal industry, launch a takeover of infrastructure under the contrived global warming scam, and help usher in the post-industrial collapse of America.
Planned power outages conducted by utility companies have caused outrage amongst officials at four major hospitals in Texas, at Parkland, Baylor, Methodist and Presbyterian Dallas.
“Because of the sensitive life-saving equipment, hospitals are considered “critical care facilities,” and supposed to be exempt from rolling blackouts,” reports CBS 11. “That’s exactly what Presbyterian Dallas was led to believe. “We were of the understanding that hospitals and other critical-care providers were not supposed to be affected by planned outages,” said hospital spokesman Stephen O’Brien.”
As well as hospitals, nursing homes, fire stations, police stations, other emergency response facilities have also been hit with outages as demand soars due to freezing temperatures. Many places in Texas now rely on Mexico to supply their power. Read More

Obama's Driftwood Diplomacy
February 03, 2011
Driftwood Diplomacy
By Steve McCann
The demonstrations and the genuine possibility of a radical Islamic state eventuating in Egypt are in part the result of President Obama's foreign policy being reactive and not proactive. The United States has placed itself in an era of driftwood diplomacy.
It is often said that when a person has no core and in its place exists a muddled and uncertain belief system, he tends to float along from one crisis in life to another. It is far easier to simply drift along with the current and allow it to take you wherever it may go. These people will ultimately fail in any endeavor.
When the leadership of a great country exhibits these traits, the consequences can be catastrophic. Barack Obama, the product of a lifetime of leftist indoctrination, has as the basic foundation of his muddled and uncertain belief system a conviction that the United States has been the epitome of oppression and arrogance throughout its history.
Beyond that one tenet, Obama grudgingly accepts only crony capitalism, European-style socialism rather than rigid socialist theory, constricted freedom of speech and assembly, and a modified version of self-determination. All of these are anathema to the hardcore left whence he came, but they are also far from the central rights and liberties as determined by the nation's founders. Read More
Hateful Racist Liberals Call For Lynching of Clarence Thomas at Rally
Posted by Jim Hoft Thursday, February 3, 2011
Liberal racists called for lynching black Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas at last week’s “Uncloaking the Kochs” event hosted by the leftist group Common Cause.
Don’t expect the state-run media to touch this with a ten-foot pole.
It doesn’t fit their narrative.

Obama Administration Opens Door to Muslim Brotherhood Islamist Group
Barack Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood
Thursday, 03 February 2011
by Robert Spencer
Now that Barack Obama has given a green light to Muslim Brotherhood participation in a new Egyptian government, it is unlikely that the organization will be kept out of power. And since the Brotherhood is the largest and most ideologically committed group in Egyptian politics, most likely it will end up in the driver’s seat in any new regime, and set the nation on course toward becoming an Islamic state.
Obama almost certainly knows all this, and yet approved of Brotherhood involvement anyway. A look at some of his appointments, associations and activities shows that this should come as no surprise.
Starting in the earliest days of his administration, Obama showed an intense desire to establish friendly ties with the Islamic world, while showing little or no interest in examining his chosen partners in dialogue and targets for attempts at rapprochement for ties to jihad terrorism or Islamic supremacism. His uncritical stance toward Islamic organizations included American groups with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, despite the Brotherhood’s stated goal of “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.” Read More

Pro-Mubarak Marauders Use Horses, Camels, and ‘Chariots’ to Beat Protesters
Posted on February 2, 2011 at 1:08pm
by Jonathon M. Seidl
It’s one of the strangest sites to come out of the Egyptian unrest over the last nine days. While pro-Mubarak and anti-government protesters clashed in Cairo today, the Mubarak ilk used horses, camels, and chariot-like carriages to charge into the crowd and beat the unruly mob.
Some Government backers were ripped from their mounts and and beaten bloody. It was as if an American Civil War movie was being projected onto an Egyptian backdrop: Read More

Kennedy miniseries finds a home
February 02, 2011
Rick Moran
The producers of the miniseries "The Kennedys" that was orphaned when the History Channel's parent company refused to broadcast it after pressure was brought by the Kennedy family has found a home.
After a three-week journey, The Kennedys has found a home.
The controversial miniseries will world premiere on April 3 on the ReelzChannel, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Producers of the ambitious project from 24 executive producer Joel Surnow and writer Stephen Kronish have struck a deal with the independent, family-owned cable network to air the 8-part miniseires, which was abruptly yanked from the History channel on January 7 amid pressure from the Kennedys over its depiction of the political family. At the time, History owner A&E Television Networks told THR that "after viewing the final product in its totality, we have concluded this dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand."
But it is certainly a fit for ReelzChannel, a 4-year old independent cable channel owned by Minnesota-based Hubbard Communications that is available in 60 million homes nationwide on services including DirecTV, Dish Network, AT&T, Time Warner Cable, Comcast and Charter Communications. Read More
States Embrace Limits On Federal Power
With Obamacare ruled unconstitutional; states embrace limits on federal power

(NaturalNews) Federal Judge Roger Vinson ruled this week that the "individual mandate" portion of Obama's health care reform was unconstitutional, dealing a significant blow to the Obama administration's desire to force government-run health insurance on the entire U.S. population. Department of Justice spokespeople reacted with a sense of twisted desperation, calling Judge Vinson's decision "judicial activism" as if he were inventing new law. In reality, of course, Judge Vinson merely ruled to protect existing law as written in the United States Constitution.
Three years ago, even President Obama would have agreed with Judge Vinson's decision. In arguing against the idea of an individual mandate in government-run health insurance, President Obama said in 2008, "If a mandate was the solution, we can try to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house."
Obama's quote demonstrates the ludicrousness of the federal government requiring people to buy certain products or services in order to solve what the government perceives as a problem. If the government is allowed to dictate commercial behavior by forcing citizens to purchase things they don't want to purchase, then it won't be long before Washington starts forcing everybody to buy a U.S.-made automobile each year to support the auto industry... or pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and other products and services the government wants to push onto the people.

Increase In Obamacare Waivers To Friends and Insiders
Obama administration issues hundreds of health care exemption waivers to friends
Wednesday, February 02, 2011
by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
NaturalNews) If Obamacare is everything the administration claims it to be, then why are government officials secretly handing out exemption waivers to friends and insiders? A Washington Times report explains that since the health care bill was passed last year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued at 733 exemptions-and-counting to friends of the White House in order to shelter them from the massive insurance rate hikes that the rest of America will get stuck paying, that is if the bill is not overturned or declared unconstitutional.
It began with 111 waivers, which gradually rose to 222, and that has now topped 733. Recipients include various cities and states, businesses, and unions, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). SIEU, of course, contributed $27 million to the Obama campaign back in 2008, so perhaps the union's waiver was a friendly "thank you" gift. Read More

Nothing Is Stable Anymore...Change has become mind-numbing

The Economic Collapse
Feb 2, 2011
The world is becoming a very unstable place, and the pace at which things are changing all around us has become absolutely mind-numbing. In fact, change has become one of the only constants in today’s world. Once upon a time, people in the United States could actually make 20 or 30 year plans and feel confident about achieving them. But now, nothing is stable anymore. The financial crisis showed us that some of the biggest corporations on the globe can collapse in a single day. The events of the past few weeks have shown us that entire governments can be brought down in a single week. We live in a world where there are now very few “guarantees” that you can count on. One of the only things that is guaranteed is that technology and information will continue to grow at exponential speeds. This year, the total amount of information produced on electronic devices around the globe is projected to bemore than a zettabyte. A zettabyte is equivalent to one sextillion bytes. In other words, imagine a one with more than 21 zeroes following it.
Many of the things that we take for granted today didn’t even exist a few short years ago. Facebook has only been with us since 2004. YouTube has only been with us since 2005. Can you imagine a world where those two websites did not exist?
We live in a world of information overload. Once upon a time it would have been possible to go to sleep for a decade and wake up and everything would still be pretty much the same. But today if you were to do that you would be in for a case of severe culture shock.
Do you remember when you could buy a set of encyclopedias and the information in them would still be good a decade or two later?
Well, things do not work that way anymore. Read More

My apologies for the length of this article, but I see it as extremely important to tell the whole story as it happened.
The Story of the Egyptian Revolution
One week ago, Egypt was a stable authoritarian regime, prospects of change were minimal and every expert in Washington would have betted on the endurance of its regime. Today, Egypt is in a state of chaos. The regime, even after using its mightiest sword is not able to control the country and the streets of Egypt are in a state of utter lawlessness. As the world stands in awe, confusion, and worry at the unfolding events, perhaps it is important to write the evolving story that is happening in Egypt before any reflections can be made on them.
Contrary to pundits, it turns out that the Egyptian regime was neither stable nor secure. Read More
Undoing Obamacare: The latest
February 1, 2011
On the heels of Florida judge Roger Vinson’s decision yesterday voiding Obamacare, Capitol Hill’s repeal efforts are heating up.
Word in D.C. is that Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell may introduce the House-passed Obamacare repeal bill as an amendment to an FAA bill on the floor this afternoon.
On a separate front, watch out for a State Obamacare Waiver bill sponsored by Sens. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and Lindsey Graham, R-SC.
GOP Sen. Mike Johanns, who has targeted the onerous 1099 reporting mandates in the Obamacare law for the past year, introduced his repeal bill covering those provisions yesterday — it’s S.A. 3 to S.233.
GOP Sen. Scott Brown wants a repeal of the job-killing medical device tax that’s crushing innovators in Massachusetts. Read More
Obama green-lighting Muslim Brotherhood participation in Egyptian government
February 1, 2011
by Ed Morrissey
Welcome to the new reality of cold, hard choices in Egypt, and the consequences of democracy in regions where radicalism thrives. In order to stay ahead of the crisis in Egypt, the Obama administration yesterday signaled that it supports the participation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egyptian politics as long as they renounce violence and commit to democracy:
The Obama administration said for the first time that it supports a role for groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, a banned Islamist organization, in a reformed Egyptian government.
The organization must reject violence and recognize democratic goals if the U.S. is to be comfortable with it taking part in the government, the White House said. But by even setting conditions for the involvement of such nonsecular groups, the administration took a surprise step in the midst of the crisis that has enveloped Egypt for the last week. … Read More
Stop the Fraud -- Freeze the Debt Ceiling
Stop the Fraud -- Freeze the Debt Ceiling
By Monty Pelerin
The upcoming battle over raising the debt limit is a microcosm of the fraud that government has become.
This Kabuki act is performed every time Federal debt approaches its legal limit. The stage play is always the same:
Politicians admit that spending is unsustainable and speak about cuts -- only in generalities and never specifics.
The party in power always argues how important it is to increase the debt ceiling.
The party out of power argues how doing so is irresponsible.
The demagogues in power then warn about world-ending damage if the debt limit is not raised. Read More
Individualism Built America
Overachievers with Low Self-Esteem
By Tom Roberson
What happened to the rugged individualism that built America and sustained it through wars, depressions, and dark times? This individualism, made heroic by John Wayne, George Patton, and Ronald Reagan, wasn't afraid to stand up and say that something was nuttier than a Texas fruitcake. The mention of political correctness around those guys would get you an "are you serious?" look followed by an eye-narrowing, "somebody get a rope" look.
Now we've got a government that forces us to use detergents that won't clean, low-flow toilets that won't flush, pesticides and herbicides that don't kill, food with no taste, and light bulbs with bad light. They also want us to use unreliable and expensive energy such as solar, wind, and ethanol, while pretending that our vast coal, oil, and natural gas reserves don't really exist or are too dangerous for the environment. We're supposed to trust these idiots? "Green" has become a codeword for "useless" on product labels, warning consumers to look elsewhere if they need an effective product.
The first step in any 12-step program is to admit that you have a problem before you can continue on the path to recovery. In these politicians' egomaniacal and elitist minds, we are the ones unable to help ourselves, the ones who are dependent on their enlightened inspiration to lead us to safety. Read More
Governments hoard food stockpiles in anticipation of public uprisings
Governments hoard food stockpiles in anticipation of public uprisings
Tuesday, February 01, 2011 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) Economic failures, government corruption, banking system fraud -- these and many other factors have together contributed to the escalating turmoil that the world currently faces. The costs associated with everything from energy and fuel to food and health care have soared in recent years because of manipulation of the fiat monetary system, and actual shortages of resources. And according to reports, nervous governments are now starting to stockpile massive food stocks to offset what they believe is a coming wave of civil unrest over the continued rising costs of basic essentials.
Though not typically a course of action in the U.S., protests and even aggressive riots are rather common in many countries around the world, particularly those with blatantly authoritarian governments. When the noose gets a little bit too tight, the people of these nations often quickly push back and demand changes. The current situation in Egypt, for example, is a perfect illustration of what people are willing to do when they are pushed too far by their tyrannical overlords.
But the unrest is beginning to spread worldwide. As food prices continue to rise, and commodities traders warn about "panic buying" over fears of massive price increases, desperate populations are starting to take it to the streets, much like they did in 2008 when food prices skyrocketed (http://www.naturalnews.com/023277_r...). But it appears as though the world is headed for another, and this time possibly worse, food crisis in the very near future. Read More
