U.S. ‘Homeland’ Includes Canada And Mexico On NSA Map (PHOTO)

Just when you thought the NSA sur­veil­lance pro­grams could­n’t get any scari­er, the spy agency goes ahead and makes Cana­da part of the U.S. “home­land.” That’s how Cana­da — as well as Mex­i­co, Cen­tral Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean — was labeled on an NSA map pre­sent­ed at a Sen­ate Judi­cia­ry Com­mit­tee meet­ing Wednes­day (August, 2013).

Trilateral Defense Ministers Meeting Continues to Build North American Security Framework

As an exten­sion of the North Amer­i­can Lead­ers Sum­mit which was held in Feb­ru­ary, the defense min­is­ters from the U.S., Cana­da and Mex­i­co qui­et­ly met (in May) to dis­cuss con­ti­nen­tal secu­ri­ty issues. Dur­ing the con­fer­ence, they addressed shared defense and secu­ri­ty chal­lenges. This includes threats posed by cyber attacks and transna­tion­al crim­i­nal organizations. The North […]

Matt Grocott, San Carlos, CA Vice Mayor on UN Agenda 21

Matt Gro­cott, San Car­los City Council By way of back­ground, the fol­low­ing ques­tion was emailed to Matt Gro­cott, Vice May­or of San Car­los, Cal­i­for­nia (men­tioned in our post Let­ter: Bil­lion­aires and U.N. agen­das on July 28). Matt has served on the City Coun­cil since 2001. Sue Lem­pert writes The Dai­ly Fetch, a news blog cov­er­ing […]

Letter: Billionaires and U.N. agendas

Edi­tor, Kudos to Matt Gro­cott for address­ing U.N. Agen­da 21 in Sue Lempert’s col­umn in the July 21 edi­tion of the Dai­ly Jour­nal. The idea of a “U.N. plot” sounds nut­ty at first, until you real­ize the U.N. acts large­ly as a front for the bil­lion­aires and politi­cos push­ing this agen­da. Recall that Rock­e­feller fund­ed […]

Weather Channel Founder on Climate Change: It’s “a Fictional, Manufactured Crisis”

Do you think that the founder of The Weath­er Chan­nels might be an author­i­ty worth lis­ten­ing to when it comes to glob­al warm­ing? It would cer­tain­ly seem to rea­son that a man who made a career out of study­ing the weath­er might be more of an author­i­ty than glob­al­ist Al Gore. NextNews­Net­work pub­lished an inter­view with […]

This May Be The Biggest Problem With America’s ‘Common Core’ Education Standards

The Com­mon Core — a set of edu­ca­tion stan­dards adopt­ed by near­ly every U.S. state — was built on the idea that stu­dents should be able to think crit­i­cal­ly rather than just mem­o­rize mate­r­i­al for tests. It’s a good goal. A com­mon and valid crit­i­cism of Amer­i­can edu­ca­tion is that it focus­es too much on rote […]

Two Moms vs. Common Core

Heather Crossin, Emmett McGroar­ty, and Erin Tuttle Indi­ana has become the first state to retreat from the Com­mon Core stan­dards, as Gov­er­nor Mike Pence (in 2013) signed a bill sus­pend­ing their implementation. A great deal has been writ­ten and spo­ken about Com­mon Core, but it is worth rehears­ing the out­lines again. Com­mon Core is a set of […]

Green Group Under Scrutiny for Trespassing at Woman’s Farm

Should We Ditch The ‘Green Economy’?

Faced with pub­lic pres­sure to low­er their car­bon foot­print, and the high cost of set­ting up sus­tain­able ener­gy sup­plies, busi­ness­es and gov­ern­ments now have a third option.   The Unit­ed Nation’s ‘Sus­tain­able Ener­gy for All’ ini­tia­tive adds weight to the grow­ing voice push­ing low-car­bon ‘green’ growth over con­ven­tion­al ‘brown’ devel­op­ment and its heavy reliance on […]

Venezuela climate summit calls for end to “green economy”

UN-backed event ends with unusu­al call from civ­il soci­ety groups to end capitalism Green groups cel­e­brate the Mar­gari­ta Declaration A UN-backed con­fer­ence in Venezuela has end­ed with a dec­la­ra­tion to scrap car­bon mar­kets and reject the green economy.

Your iPhone may be rigged to spy on you

iOS foren­sic exam­in­er Jonathan Zdziars­ki may know more about iPhones than any oth­er non-Apple employ­ee. Yet even he can’t find a rea­son for some of the mys­tery fea­tures buried with­in the iOS oper­at­ing sys­tem, which look an awful lot like secu­ri­ty back­doors that bypass user-des­ig­nat­ed data protections. The fea­tures could be there to let Apple […]

Urban development: mixed use, mixed results?

Ever since Jane Jacobs cel­e­brat­ed diverse, high-den­si­ty neigh­bor­hoods in her 1961 clas­sic “The Death and Life of Great Amer­i­can Cities,” city plan­ners, politi­cians, aca­d­e­mics and even some devel­op­ers have been jonesing to recre­ate New York’s homey West Vil­lage where she lived back then. Of course, to adopt Jacobs’ pre­scrip­tions for the per­fect city — short, walk­a­ble […]

Agenda 21: Home Sweet Home in Freight Shipping Containers

While the world is siz­zling and per­co­lat­ing in con­flicts and wars, and U.S. is roil­ing in man­u­fac­tured cri­sis after cri­sis, real or imag­ined emer­gen­cies, over­whelmed by the con­stant inva­sion of ille­gal immi­grants, The Wash­ing­ton Post writes on the front page, “Think­ing inside the box on D.C. hous­ing costs,” liv­ing in repur­posed dinged freight ship­ping con­tain­ers.

Poverty, environment, even traffic fatalities: UN’s sweeping sustainable development goals aim to fix everything – on paper

End glob­al hunger and all forms of mal­nu­tri­tion and pover­ty by 2030, along with all urban slums around the world.

Blowback from the NSA Surveillance

Bruce Schneier There’s one piece of blow­back that isn’t being dis­cussed — aside from the fact that Snow­den has killed the chances of any lib­er­al arts major get­ting a DoD job for at least a decade — and that’s how the mas­sive NSA sur­veil­lance of the Inter­net affects the US’s role in Inter­net governance.

Two More Governors Turning Against Common Core

Two more state gov­er­nors have hopped on the anti-Com­mon Core band­wag­on, urg­ing either a sec­ond look at it or push­ing for out­right repeal. Utah Gov­er­nor Gary Herbert Gov. Gary Her­bert of Utah ordered his attor­ney gen­er­al to con­duct a review of the con­tro­ver­sial mul­ti-state edu­ca­tion stan­dards Thurs­day, while Wis­con­sin Gov. Scott Walk­er announced that he […]

In Historic Blow to Climate Hysteria, Australia Kills Carbon Tax

With final approval of the Sen­ate on July 17, Aus­tralia offi­cial­ly became the first devel­oped nation to repeal its deeply con­tro­ver­sial tax on emis­sions of car­bon diox­ide, deal­ing a major set­back to pro­po­nents of increas­ing­ly dis­cred­it­ed man-made “glob­al warm­ing” the­o­ries. Cli­mate real­ists world­wide cel­e­brat­ed the his­toric devel­op­ment, while enraged glob­al-warm­ing the­o­rists furi­ous­ly lashed out at […]

Globalist Mouthpiece Calls For The Entire Planet To Adopt The ‘National Identification System’ One European Country Has Established

Would you like to have a dig­i­tal iden­ti­ty card that is auto­mat­i­cal­ly issued to you at birth? In one Euro­pean nation, res­i­dents use such a card when they go to the hos­pi­tal, when they do their bank­ing, when they go shop­ping and even when they vote. This card has become so pop­u­lar that this par­tic­u­lar […]

The Reasons We Fight the New World Order

“Count­less peo­ple … will hate the new world order … and will die protest­ing against it.” —H.G. Wells, The New World Order (1940) Through­out our lives and through­out our cul­ture, we are con­di­tioned to ral­ly around con­cepts of false divi­sion.

The Head Of ‘The Central Bank Of The World’ Warns That Another Great Financial Crisis May Be Coming

Most peo­ple have nev­er heard of Jaime Caru­a­na even though he is the head of an immense­ly pow­er­ful orga­ni­za­tion. He has been serv­ing as the Gen­er­al Man­ag­er of the Bank for Inter­na­tion­al Set­tle­ments since 2009, and he will con­tin­ue in that role until 2017.

Warily, Schools Watch Students on the Internet

SAN FRANCISCO — For years, a school principal’s job was to make sure stu­dents were not cre­at­ing a ruckus in the hall­ways or smok­ing in the bath­room. Vig­i­lance end­ed at the school­house gates. Now, as stu­dents com­plain, taunt and some­times cry out for help on social media, edu­ca­tors have more oppor­tu­ni­ties to mon­i­tor stu­dents around the […]
