Bahrain Declares Martial Law Amid Protests

March 15, 2011
By Brandon Smith

"Saudi Arabia has just ordered troops to flood Bahrain to stifle all citizen dissent, and the Bahrain government has fully welcomed the invasion. The socio-political situation in the Middle East is deteriorating rapidly. Don't forget to keep one eye on that part of the world while the majority's attentions is fixated on the current Japanese nuclear situation."

Bahrain declared martial law on Tuesday as it struggles to quell an uprising by the island's Shi'ite Muslim majority that has drawn in troops from fellow Sunni-ruled neighbor Saudi Arabia.

The three-month state of emergency will hand wholesale power to Bahrain's security forces, which are dominated by the country's Sunni Muslim elite, stoking sectarian tensions in one of the Gulf's most politically volatile nations.  Read More

Jonah Goldberg: Talk about a meltdown

"A crisis is a terrible thing to exploit"?

March 15, 2011
By Jonah Goldberg

When a loved one dies (as my brother did last month), one of the standard pieces of advice is to not make any big decisions. Don't reorganize your life in a moment of existential panic or remorse. Take your time. Cope.

But when thousands die, or when some sudden calamity befalls us, the tendency of politicians, journalists, policymakers and experts is to seize the moment to advocate radical changes. "A crisis," Rahm Emanuel famously declared in the early days of the Obama administration, "is a terrible thing to waste."

That this axiom didn't generate more controversy always struck me as bizarre. I mean, shouldn't it be "a crisis is a terrible thing to exploit"?  Read More

Radiation: The worst case scenario

Radiation From Fukushima Would Take 7 Days To Reach U.S.

Prevailing wind conditions would send fallout drifting towards west coast cities

By Paul Joseph Watson

Radioactive particles from the stricken Fukushima nuclear facility would take around a week to reach Alaska and eleven days to reach Los Angeles, according to an Accuweather.com analysis, which highlights the fact that prevailing winds over the region would send any potential fallout from the crisis-hit plant drifting towards west coast cities in the United States.


Given the fact that many analysts believe the Japanese government is grossly understating the amount of radioactive particles released by the two separate explosions to affect the Fukushima plant, one which occurred Saturday and one earlier today, monitoring stations in Alaska will not know if there is a threat from such radiation until Saturday at the earliest.

“Radiation detected at the Fukushima plant on Monday is twice the maximum seen so far,” the BBC is reporting, citing Kyodo News.  Read More

CHAIN REACTION MELTDOWN

CHAIN REACTION MELTDOWN: All The Nuclear Reactors In Quake Hit City Will Explode

Japan has long history of nuclear cover ups

Prisonplanet.com
March 14, 2011

All the nuclear reactors at the earthquake stricken Fukushima Dravidic plant are likely to melt down and explode in a chain reaction that will signify the world’s worst ever nuclear disaster.

The two explosions have already compromised the surrounding facilities. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from a 20-km exclusion zone around the plant.

Everyone in the immediate vicinity of the facilities is dead.

As reported by the BBC:

Japanese engineer Masashi Goto, who helped design the containment vessel for Fukushima’s reactor core, says the design was not enough to withstand earthquakes or tsunamis and the plant’s builders, Toshiba, knew this.

Mr Goto says his greatest fear is that blasts at number 3 and number 1 reactors may have damaged the steel casing of the containment vessel designed to stop radioactive material escaping into the atmosphere.

He says that as the reactor uses mox (mixed oxide) fuel, the melting point is lower than that of conventional fuel. Should a meltdown and an explosion occur, he says, *****nium could be spread over an area up to twice as far as estimated for a conventional nuclear fuel explosion. The next 24 hours are critical, he says.

ABC News In Australia reports:

Currently the reactors are releasing small amounts of xenon-137 and iodine-131, which have a half life of 3.8-minutes and eight days respectively. But experts are more concerned by the release of cesium-137, which has a 30-year half-life.

Professor Aidan Byrne, director of the College of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the Australian National University in Canberra, says there’s still a chance the Japanese reactors could go into meltdown.

“It’s not impossible, because they have problems with the coolant. The Three Mile Island accident which is the previous one similar to this certainly did have a core meltdown. So it could happen in one or maybe even two of these [reactors],” he says.  Read More

NEA is the single largest political donor in America today

Democrats Scramble To Save Their #1 Donor – The Teachers

March 13, 2011
By J.B. Williams

America’s BIGGEST political donor is not corporate America, bankers, Insurers or Wall Street. It is the National Education Association, which gave over $56 million in campaign donations in the election cycle 2008 alone, and American Federation of Teachers, which gave over $12 million in 2008. Combined, these two teachers unions gave over $68 million in 2008, ALL of it to Democrats.

Still trying to figure out why Democrats are desperate to save the public sector unions?

Democrats scramble to prop up public sector unions not on behalf of teachers or students, but rather on their own behalf, as the NEA is the single largest political donor in America today and they give almost 100% to DEMOCRATS! In short, without millions in campaign funding from the national teachers union, teachers would be better off, but Democrats would be in DEEP trouble!  Read More

Bowing Down To The Omnipotent Government

Are You A Sovereign, Or Just Property Of The State?

"That’s right! You have been bowing down to government every day of your life and if you will look in the mirror and tell yourself the truth, you know it to be a fact. Ladies and gentlemen, that’s disgusting. You are not a sovereign. You are just a happy slave."

March 13, 2011
By Ron Ewart

”What?” you say? You aren’t going to bow down to anybody! Really. We hate to be the one to inform you, but you are too late! You already have bowed down and you have been showing your posterior to the government every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month and every year, for more than a century. You just don’t know that you are doing it. That is because you don’t know the “blueprint for freedom” and you also don’t know that the government has been savaging that blueprint since the ink was barely dry on the Constitution. Why has government been breaking the rules? To gain more power over the masses until they hold absolute power. That’s what governments do, unless they are held in check by limits and by the people. When push comes to shove, in their distorted minds, you are dumb and ignorant and you don’t deserve to rule yourself. Smarter people than you know what is best for you, and, by God, they will shove it down your throat no matter how loud you scream.

Now, we have our leaders forcing us all to bow as a nation to the rest of the world so that they will “like” us. The rest of the world, especially our enemies, laugh at us and our naked weakness. Obama’s appeasing, bowing, ineptitude and lack of leadership is disgusting. It makes this author want to lose his lunch on a daily basis.  Read More

The Retaking of America

And What You Can Do To Help

March 12, 2011
By John Sutherland

That our country and its federal government have been taken over by anti-American and unlawful forces should no longer be a surprise to anyone who has been alert and who has been paying attention to current events. Dr. Paul Craig Roberts has a brilliant interview in which he points out many of the destructive activities that have occurred and are still occurring to the detriment of our country by members of our own government.[1] As Dr. Roberts so clearly points out, our government no longer believes it is answerable to our laws or to our people, and this attitude, being observed as it is by the people, causes great stress among all of us. In our country, the people have always supported the government, but we must now observe that our government is treating us as its enemy through the use of denial of justice for the people, the militarizing of the community police, the double standard of the executive branch whereby government figures no longer feel required to obey our laws, the use of totalitarian techniques to deny the God given rights that were once supported by government, the rapid destruction of our economy and our money system, etc. The government no longer serves the people – it controls the people. A careful re-read of our own Declaration of Independence,[2] or the South Carolina Declaration of Causes,[3] shows us that we are today faced with the same tyranny we complained about just prior to our first War for Independence and our War Between the States. However, this time around, and for a second time in our history, our enemy is not 3,325 miles away – it is on our own shores, in Washington, DC.  Read More

Bill Ayers Ghost-Wrote Barack Obama’s Memoir

In New Book Jack Cashill Proves that Bill Ayers Ghost-Wrote Barack Obama’s Memoir

March 12 2011
By John C. Drew, Ph.D.

Jack Cashill voices the pain of those of us who are doing the journalistic work we once thought was the sole responsibility of CBS’s 60 Minutes. In his newest book, he indicates it is not so easy to balance his efforts to save Western civilization with his concurrent responsibility of bagging leaves. In my case, I have sought to expose President Barack Obama’s intellectual roots as a revolutionary Marxist while addressing my nagging doubts about the necessity of rinsing dishes prior to loading in the dishwasher. If you understand that neither Cashill or me are kidding about our lives, then you will be thrilled by the tone and fresh insight in Deconstructing Obama: The Life, Loves, and Letters of America’s First Postmodern President.

As an eyewitness to young Obama’s Marxist ideology, I was excited to see Cashill busting up the myths surrounding Obama and replacing them with a more believable story that is a much better fit with accessible evidence. Cashill’s results are politically significant because Obama’s charisma is dependent on the images in his first book, Dreams from My Father. Cashill’s new insights about the real Obama should be particularly relevant to the sort of swing voters who tell survey researchers that they do not care for the President’s policies while still liking him as a person. After reading Cashill’s book, I suspect these swing voters will be disappointed by the titanic gap between Obama’s all-American myth and the cold facts of his real life.

The "Prophets of Doom" Predictions

Are The Prophets Of Doom Right About Major War, $200 Oil, $2000 Gold And Dow 5000 By The End Of 2012?

The End of the American Dream
March 12, 2011

Are the "prophets of doom" right? Is a major war going to erupt in the Middle East? Is the price of oil going to $200 a barrel? Is the price of gold going to hit $2000 at some point over the next two years? Is the Dow going to drop to 5000 by the end of 2012? Right now there are some very respected financial experts that are making some absolutely stunning predictions. Charles Nenner, Gerald Celente and Lindsey Williams are all frequent guests on popular television and radio shows and they are all forecasting very difficult economic times over the next couple of years. So are they right?

Well, only time will tell. But it really is quite alarming that so many experts with such long track records are warning of economic disaster.

So what exactly are some of these "prophets of doom" predicting? Well, let's take a closer look at some of them.  Read More

Is the Ring Of Fire Coming To Life?

Was The Magnitude 8.9 Earthquake In Japan A Sign That The Ring Of Fire Is Coming To Life?

The End of the American Dream
March 12, 2011

Please pray for Japan. The footage of the devastation caused by the magnitude 8.9 earthquake in Japan is absolutely heartbreaking. It was the worst earthquake in the history of Japan, and it was one of the five largest earthquakes that has ever been recorded. The magnitude 8.9 earthquake unleashed a tsunami that was absolutely unprecedented in that part of the world. 30 foot walls of water swept as much as 6 miles inland. Cars and homes were pushed along by the rushing water as if they were toys for children. Since the initial quake, there has been over 100 aftershocks of magnitude 5.0 or greater. Hundreds of dead bodies have been discovered so far, and according to one report, 88,000 people are currently missing. There is no telling how high the death toll will eventually be. Large areas of land are now completely under water and 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan do not have electricity. So will we see more earthquakes like this? Are there other signs that the "Ring of Fire" is coming to life?  Read More 

The failure of Boehner to kill hidden ObamaCare funding

The Disgraceful Wimps and Putty Balls

Posted by The Right Scoop on Mar 11, 2011

Rush explains why the Republican leadership has been rejecting the push to kill the 105 billion that was hidden in ObamaCare for the sole purpose of funding it. The bottom line is that he believes that it’s not that they are power hungry uncaring hacks, but that the Republican leadership is too afraid of a government shutdown:

While Rush may be right on the reasoning behind their tepidness, the problem is that if this funding doesn’t get killed then ObamaCare will grow much larger roots into our health care system and will become much harder to rip out. Republicans should be balls to the wall, using every method at their disposal to keep ObamaCare from being funded.

It’s like Steve King has been saying, Republicans didn’t take an oath to Senate rules but to the Constitution. We all witnessed how the Democrats force ObamaCare on America and even though I respect the new leadership for wanting to set a higher standard, Democrats played dirty getting this passed and we will need to get a little dirty ripping it out of the ground. So forget about the rules for a moment and do what’s right for America.

Of course we have a voice in this too which is why Levin started his Levin Surge last night:

Levin: Fighting soft tyranny that is trying to break our spirit

"We the people exist to fund the government"

"Levin describes with great accuracy what we are up against right now as we fight to save our country:"

"We are now up against a force that is demanding that we the people voluntarily enslave ourselves to more taxes, to more government, and to more debt. And this force is trying to break our will. It is trying to break our spirit. It is trying to establish in any way it can a permanent rearrangement of society."

Must Listen: Levin exposes Obama’s oil lies

"This is excellent. Levin did some research on Obama’s claims that the Gulf is producing at its highest level in seven years and found the source that Obama is using. Turns out that Obama’s people are counting physical drilling rigs that aren’t actually drilling, including ones that they stopped from drilling due to the moratorium. What a fraud!"

Levin: Why is Boehner being a coward?

Levin explains that the last Congress is trying to control the spending habits of future Congresses through this hidden ObamaCare funding, and Boehner, despite already breaking a rule to stop other appropriations, refuses to break the same rule to stop this funding. Thus Levin asks why is Boehner being a coward.

He adds that any Representative that votes for this CR is voting to fund ObamaCare, and he’ll see to it that they have to answer for it in their districts. He also adds, ‘grow a pair’.

"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule"...Thomas Jefferson

After the Revolution

"Growing up, we daily pledged allegiance “to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands,” not some democracy. As Walter Williams writes, Julia Ward Howe did not write the “Battle Hymn of the Democracy.”

Mach 11, 2100
By Patrick J. Buchanan

“Democracy … arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects,” said Aristotle.

But if the Philosopher disliked the form of government that arose out of the fallacy of human equality, the Founding Fathers detested it.

“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule,” said Thomas Jefferson, “where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49.” James Madison agreed, “Democracy is the most vile form of government.” Their Federalist rivals concurred.

“Democracy,” said John Adams, “never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”

“You people, sir, is a great beast,” Alexander Hamilton is said to have remarked. If he did not, it was not far from his view.

Said John Winthrop, the Pilgrim father whose vision of a “city on a hall” so inspired Ronald Reagan, “A democracy is … accounted the meanest and worst form of government.”

But did not the fathers create modernity’s first democracy?

No. They created “a republic, if you can keep it,” as Ben Franklin said, when asked in Philadelphia what kind of government they had given us. A constitutional republic, to protect and defend God-given rights that antedated the establishment of that government.  Read More
