Obama Commutes Remaining Prison Sentence Of Chelsea Manning

Following urges by Edward Snowden and Julian Assange (who offered his own extradition), President Obama has commuted the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the army intelligence analyst convicted of an enormous 2010 document leak.

The Dallas Pension Fiasco Is Just The Beginning

The recent blow-up of the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System was entirely predictable. The combination of overpriced financial markets, inadequate contributions and overly generous pension promises mean dozens of US local and state government pension plans will end up in the same situation.

A Violent Inauguration? A Call For Peace On Inauguration Day

Should violence occur on inauguration day, a story which will quickly spread will be one of a divided America, an inauguration with a violent and extreme reaction to a “divider president”, Donald Trump. But it is not Donald Trump who has been sitting in the seat of power over the past eight years using veiled encouraging statements like this to his SJW audience;  that one falls squarely into the lap of the sitting president.

Trader Warns: The "Cure-Through-Greater-Inequality" Paradigm Just Snapped

For years, post-financial crisis policy was conducted on the self-serving belief that it works best by propping up asset (especially equity) prices, which will then cause some of the goodies to trickle down... known in the non-official journals as “cure through greater inequality." But, if global politics turn decidedly ugly, it should not be profound to believe that could act as a drag on world growth...

"Common Sense" - Addressed To The Inhabitants Of 2017 America

The election of Trump did not mark the end for the Deep State, but just the beginning of the end. Just as Paine’s Common Sense denoted the beginning of a long string of bloody trials and tribulations, Trump’s ascendency has marked the beginning of a battle – with the outcome dependent upon our response to the clashes ahead. It's unclear if Trump supporters realize how abnormal, deviant, and despicable their opponents are. Blood will be spilled. Violence will beget violence. The country is already split and the divide will only grow wider. Someone will win and someone will lose. Our choices will matter.

US F-16 Photographed In Mock Dogfight With Russian Su-27 Above Area 51

"The Flanker is rumoured to have been flying from Groom Lake for nearly 20 years, but no-one has ever managed a definitive photograph to prove it does exist. This sequence of photos is the first proof that the Americans are flying this aircraft, which is the premier Air Defence Fighter in use with the Russian and Chinese Air Forces."

Liberal Preppers Are "Tired Of Being Perceived As Wusses" - Stock Up On Guns, Food As Trumpocalypse Looms

With Trump on the horizon, the survivalist movement — long a pastime of the right — is picking up progressive converts fast..."With the new administration I worry about Nazi-style camps that would include my wife, our twins and myself."

Julian Assange Responds Amid Growing Extradition Speculation

"The Department of Justice should not pursue any charges against Mr. Assange based on his publication of truthful information and should close its criminal investigation of him immediately... Assange is confident of winning any fair trial in the US. Obama's DoJ prevented public interest defense & fair jury."

56 Years Ago Today, Eisenhower Warned Americans Of "The Unwarranted Influence" Of The Deep State

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist...we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite...As we peer into society’s future, we - you and I, and our government - must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow."

North Dakota Lawmakers Want To Legalize Running Over Protesters

Running over protesters may soon be legal in North Dakota, if conservative lawmakers are successful in advancing legislation introduced last week.

NY Fed President Dudley Thinks A New Housing Bubble Is A Perfect Cure For Soft Retail Sales

"Whatever the timing, a return to a reasonable pattern of home equity extraction would be a positive development for retailers, and would provide a boost to economic growth."

Suppressors - The First Battle In The New Push For Gun Rights

The first push for gun rights in the upcoming Trump administration is already shaping up, and Trump hasn’t even taken office yet. The Hearing Protection Act of 2017 (HPA) was introduced a week ago today, on Monday January 9th.  The bill is aimed at removing suppressors from regulation under the National Firearms Act (NFA), which requires an extremely difficult application process and a $200 “tax stamp” to “transfer” ownership from one individual to another.

"Get Paid Fighting Against Trump" - Ads Across American Cities Reportedly Offer Money To Inauguration Agitators

Job ads running in more than 20 cities offer $2,500 per month for agitators to demonstrate at this week’s presidential inauguration events. Demand Protest, a San Francisco company that bills itself as the "largest private grassroots support organization in the United States," posted identical ads Jan. 12 in multiple cities on Backpage.com seeking "operatives," to "Get paid fighting against Trump!"

Ron Paul Asks "Will Trump Continue The Bush-Obama 'Big Spending' Legacy?"

America can no longer afford to waste trillions of dollars on a militaristic foreign policy. Donald Trump should follow-up his attacks on wasteful military spending by dramatically changing our foreign policy and working to cut the Pentagon's bloated budget. If the new administration and Congress increase spending, they will need the Federal Reserve to monetize the growing debt, but Fed action can only delay the inevitable day of reckoning.

Gun Owners Vs. Social Justice Warriors

There's only one thing worse than bringing a knife to a gunfight... that's bringing whine...

In A Free Market, No Profit Is "Excessive"

The jealousy of the common man looks upon the profits of the entrepreneurs as if they were totally used for consumption. A part of them is, of course, consumed; but what makes small business develop into big business is not spending, but saving and capital accumulation.

Maxine Waters Calls For Trump Impeachment (Before He Takes Office)

"...what I have learn or heard about the dossier, it’s about his involvement with women. It’s probably prostitutes that are involved and those kinds of things. And he has sounded that way. He has acted that way, and it gives you reason to think maybe something is to this and we need to find out more..."

China Orders No Market Selloffs During President's Davos Trip

China has taken "measures" to prevent market selloffs this week, Bloomberg reports, as President Xi Jinping’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos puts Asia’s largest economy in the global spotlight, and its immediate reaction has been to manipulate its stock market.

Video Exposes Anti-Trump Group Plans To Shut Down DC Bridges And Highways With "Clusterfuck Blockades"

"So simultaneous to the checkpoint blockades in the morning, we are also doing a series of clusterfuck blockades, where we are going to try to blockade all the major ingress points in the city.  Which include, they can include shutting down major bridges and highway access points as well as shutting down metro rail."

Radical Leftists Target DC Metro Rail Line to Block Inauguration Access

by Adan Salazar, Infowars:
Far left agitators are reportedly planning to block access to the 2017 presidential inauguration by disabling the Washington DC metro line, a potentially terroristic act which may constitute a federal offense.
In the latest sting video covertly filmed by Project Veritas, leaders from several left-wing organizations conduct training workshops informing “comrades” how anti-inauguration events will proceed. One DisruptJ20 organizer, Legba Carrefour, explains the protest will consist of several “clusterfuck blockades… where we are going to try to blockade all the major ingress points in the city.”
“Which include, they can include shutting down major bridges and highway access points as well as shutting down metro rail. So to do that we are going to try to break into several teams kind of like the checkpoints,” Carrefour says.

Obama Expels Russians to Destroy What’s Left of the United States

by Seth Ferris, New Eastern Outlook:
“We need to take action (and we will)….at a time and a place of our own choosing. Some of it may be explicit and publicized. Some of it may not be….” – Obama 16th Dec 2016
But as we all should remember, it was the Obama Administration which wanted to “reset” relations with Russia after it took office, against the advice of some. We also remember that when the US produced a “reset button” which Secretary of State Clinton and Foreign Minister Lavrov could press the word “reset” was mistranslated into Russian as “overcharge”. They both pressed the button anyway. So what is the state of US-Russia relations now?

Will Our Grandchildren Wonder Why We Didn’t Build a Renewable Power Grid When It Was Still Affordable?

by Charles Hugh Smith, Of Two Minds:
In the logic of the market, it makes no sense to sacrifice trillions of dollars in current energy and income to build something we don’t yet need.
Anyone seeking clarity on the energy picture a decade or two out is to be forgiven for finding a thoroughly confusing divide. On the one hand, we have reassuring projections from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) that assume current production of fossil fuels will remain steady for decades to come. Coal will continue to decline as a share of total energy consumption, and renewables will rise modestly. In other words, everything’s hunky-dory, there’s nothing to worry about.

POISON FRUIT Dow Chemical Wants Farmers to Keep Using a Pesticide Linked to Autism and ADHD

by Sharon Lerner, The Intercept:
ON MONDAYS, MAGDA and Amilcar Galindo take their daughter Eva to self-defense class. Eva is 12 but her trusting smile and arching pigtails make her look younger. Diagnosed with autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, Eva doesn’t learn or behave like the typical 12-year-old. She struggles to make change, and she needs help with reading and social situations. Eva’s classmates are sometimes unkind to her, and Magda worries for her daughter’s feelings and her safety. So once a week, after they drive her from her middle school in Modesto, California, to her tutor in nearby Riverbank, the Galindos rush off to the gym where they cheer Eva on as she wrestles with a heavy bag and punches the air with her skinny arms.

One Group Just Got Caught Planning Something Unbelievable During The Inauguration

Researchers Found That Using Vitamin C Correctly in High Doses Kills Cancer Cells

by David Gutierrez, Natural News:
(NaturalNews) One of the greatest controversies in oncology may have been resolved: Researchers may have discovered the reason that research into the effectiveness of high-dose vitamin C as a cancer treatment has been so mixed.
When taken orally, massive quantities of vitamin C are either broken down or excreted unused by the body. In contrast, intravenous administration of vitamin C produces blood levels 100 to 500 times higher than oral administration.
This could explain why many clinical trials on vitamin C and cancer — most of which have used oral administration — failed to support the results seen in laboratory studies using cancer cells.
