Congress Quietly Bolsters NSA Spying in Intelligence Bill

Con­gress this week qui­et­ly passed a bill that may give unprece­dent­ed legal author­i­ty to the government’s war­rant­less sur­veil­lance pow­ers, despite a last-minute effort by Rep.

Why Rockefellers Aim at Destroying Farmers Worldwide?

FA Note:  The realities of agribusiness, as described below, put the lie to the need for “Sustainable Agriculture” as promoted by Agenda 21.

John McCain Trying to Use NDAA to Give Tonto National Forest to a British Mining Company

I think at a cer­tain point one has to under­stand that glob­al­iza­tion amounts to trea­son. These greedy Vichy politi­cians we have in Wash­ing­ton need to be removed before they hand over every­thing in the coun­try that isn’t nailed to the floor. This is Ton­to Nation­al For­est. It is yours. It is this country’s fifth largest for­est and […]

Common Core Career Readiness

Eco­nom­ic Devel­op­ment with the Human Resource – just one goal of Com­mon Core By Jean­nie George, 3D Research Group There’s been a shift in edu­ca­tion. The goal has changed from ‘gain­ing knowl­edge’ to ‘get­ting a job’. That goal has caused the delib­er­ate dumb-down; the steady dete­ri­o­ra­tion of every aca­d­e­m­ic sub­ject taught in school.

Illinois Just Made it a Felony for Its Citizens to Record the Police and the Media is Silent

Only a gov­ern­ment that lives like cock­roach­es in the dark­ness would pass a law crim­i­nal­iz­ing the act of turn­ing on the light.

EFF Demands US Trade Negotiators Publish Their Public Records

It’s no secret that the US Trade Rep­re­sen­ta­tive (USTR) has approached the Trans-Pacif­ic Part­ner­ship (TPP) nego­ti­a­tions with a dis­ap­point­ing lack of trans­paren­cy. For years now, leaks have been an inad­e­quate sub­sti­tute to rea­son­able pub­lic pol­i­cy, and non-cor­po­rate groups have resort­ed to read­ing between the lines of press state­ments even as the stat­ed time­line of the […]
