Who’s the Conspiracy Theorist Now? Gov’t Scaring the Public with Aliens, Asteroids, and Global Pandemics

By Nicholas West | activistpost.com… “Is everything a conspiracy? No, just the important stuff.” — Jeff Wells, Rigorous Intuition Pandemics, Aliens, and Asteroids — Oh My! It appears that the corporate-government-media has recently become the number one propagator of conspiracy theories. That is, of course, as long as the fear campaign pushes the right buttons for the agenda. The dumbed-down public will always be led by fear until they realize that no major events happen by mistake... Read article

Americans need to drop down to the poverty levels of the Third World

After I wrote a piece chastising outsourcing to foreign countries and America’s immigration predicament as it absorbs 3.1 million from around the world annually, a man from Madrass, India wrote back, “Mr. Wooldridge, you may be angry at us in India because of the H-1B, H-2B and L-1 Visas, as well as the outsourcing of jobs to my country…but we can make better products and do the job much cheaper than you Americans…besides you have been living an artificially high standard of living for decades; it’s about time... Read article

Zionist Tolerance For a Change

I have spent the last ten years elaborating on Jewish national ideology and tribal politics.  During my journey of grasping what Zionism and Israel stand for, I came to realize that it is actually the Jewish left — and Jewish Marxists in particular — that provide us with an adequate glimpse into contemporary Jewish identity,  tribal supremacy,  marginal politics and tribalism. ‘Jewish left’ is basically an oxymoron. It is a contradiction in terms, because ‘Jewishness’ is a tribal ideology, whilst ‘the... Read article

COICA kills free speech: Write Sen. Leahy

By Chris Pratt Blacklisted domains and terminated websites are both possibilities if bill S.3804 becomes law. It is called “Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act” (COICA) and it was introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy on September 20, 2010. Hard to imagine that the same man who could say: “I commend Secretary of State Clinton for reaffirming our nation’s deep commitment to openness and freedom of expression on the Internet. The Internet has become a vital tool to protect and ensure the rights and... Read article

The Occult Symbolism of the Movie “Metropolis” and its Importance in Pop Culture

From: The Vigilant Citizen… Fritz Lang’s 1927 movie “Metropolis” is one of those timeless classics that withstand the test of time. Rather than becoming forgotten and obsolete, “Metropolis” is increasingly relevant as many of its predictions are becoming reality. We will look at the  underlying occult message of the film and the usage of its imagery in the acts of  pop stars such as Lady Gaga, Madonna, Beyonce, Kylie Minogue and others. Metropolis is a silent science-fiction movie released in 1927 by... Read article

Is talk of secession sedition? Arundhati Roy responds to charges

In a speech last week supporting ‘azadi’ — or freedom — for the occupied people of Kashmir, Arundhati Roy won the ire of right wing extremists who started a petition to have her arrested on charges of sedition. Even moderates are shocked by her support of secession. I sit on an Indian listserve, and the comments against her were vicious, with most people supporting prison for this freedom-loving, earth-loving, prolific writer and activist. Sedition is being openly discussed in several states in the US. Bill... Read article

BoucherCon: David Baldacci, Martin Cruz Smith & 1,000 middle-aged ladies

I love to read — and murder mysteries are my favorite things to read in the whole world. So when a huge murder-mystery writers’ and readers’ convention came to San Francisco this year, I just HAD to go. And BoucherCon didn’t disappoint. For four whole glorious days, I got to absolutely wallow in the literary nuts and bolts of who-killed-who. I got to ask Joseph Finder, a mega-blockbuster big-selling author who is also an expert on Afghanistan, “If you were to write a Who-Dun-It... Read article

Canadian Immigration: Who Needs Stephen King?

Canada faces virtually the same predicament as America in that it continues mass immigration from the third world that grows by 80 million desperately poor people net gain annually.  It causes their cultures and populations a Faustian Dilemma with Hobson’s Choice as the final exit plan. Tim Murray, www.immigrationwatchCanada.org , http://sinkinglifeboat.blogspot.com or http://biodiversityfirst.googlepages.com,  said, “I came upon an orchestration, the environmental movement, and all the musicians were playing violins... Read article

Fun with Arithmetic – Winning the War in Afghanistan

By Nicholas C. Arguimbau Michael Nasuti of Kabul Press recently published an article in which he calculated that killing each Taliban soldier in Afghanistan costs on average of $50 million to the US.   The article, seemingly carefully. researched with all assumptions laid out so that anyone can examine them, is well worth reading. Nasuti, “Killing Each Taliban Soldier Costs $50 million,” http://www.kabulpress.org/my/spip.php?article32304.  He points out that at this rate, killing the entire Taliban ... Read article

What’s More Important: Liberty Or The Entity That Protects It?

Let me ask readers a question. What’s more important: freedom and its undergirding principles, or the entity meant to protect it? A word of caution: be careful how you answer that question, because the way you answer marks your understanding (or lack thereof) of both freedom and the purpose of government. Thomas Jefferson–and the rest of America’s founders–believed that freedom was the principal possession, because liberty is a divine–not human–gift. Listen to Jefferson: “We hold these truths to be self-evident,... Read article

Time to end Career Politicians and Royalty Network in Congress

The late U.S. Senator Teddy Kennedy served in Congress a mind-numbing 46 years.  The only thing that stopped him: death.  U.S. Senator Robert Byrd served 51 years.  Death finally voted him out.  U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond served 46 years until death overtook him.  U.S. Senator Ted Stevens racked up 40 years.  Daniel Inouye at 46 years and John McCain over 30 years will serve until they too—suffer death as their only way out. What do they all share in common?  Career politicians!  They enjoy(ed) the ‘good old... Read article

When Criminals Vote

Election Day is mental illness in plain view—unabashed, unfettered lunacy not even trying to masquerade as sanity. If we woke up, it would take perhaps 3-5 seconds to recognize this: Obama is a heinous criminal. His Republican rivals (sic) are heinous criminals. Then again, the same can be said for the volunteer soldiers and all those who give the orders; the law enforcement types and all those who give the orders; the judges; the professional liars who stock the media ranks; and, of course, the humans that comprise... Read article

Bernanke’s Dilemma

Ben Bernanke is in a real fix. His quantitative easing (QE) program is designed to boost stock prices, lower bond yields, and weaken the dollar. But the market has already priced all that in, so when he announces the start of the program on November 3, there’s a good chance that things will either stay the same or head in the opposite direction. That’s bad for Bernanke. Just imagine if the dollar strengthens just as the Fed chairman begins buying-up Treasuries to push the dollar down. He’ll look pretty... Read article

French Lessons for U.S. Workers

The world watches as France once again erupts in protests, demonstrations, and strikes. So much is at stake. If France’s corporate-dominated government is able to increase the retirement age, other governments will be empowered to follow through with their plans to do the same. If labor, student, and community groups succeed in stopping the pension reform — or toppling the government — workers in other countries will likewise be inspired to fight back and organize in the French fashion. The worldwide... Read article

Rebuilding Local Economies: A Shift in Priorities

By Anna White From the burgeoning popularity of farmers’ markets and co-operatives to the revitalisation of community banking, people are organising to reclaim the economy from large profit-driven corporations and ‘too big to fail’ financial institutions. The small-scale and diversity of these local initiatives masks the immense potential they hold for addressing fundamental flaws in the current model of economic development. Rather than treat the swing towards the local as a fad or misplaced radicalism, the... Read article

America’s Moral Implosion

The 60s generation embraced moral relativism—the belief that there is no right and wrong—and it swept across our nation like a firestorm.  Five decades later a large number of Americans have completely lost their moral compass.   We have become the hook up culture, marked by casual sexual encounters.  We are a nation of Girls Gone Wild, where young women expose themselves before cameras.   How much deeper into the immoral abyss can we slide? When a nation has no clear understanding of what exactly is moral... Read article
