Driven By Drug War Incentives, Cops Target Pot Smokers, Brush Off Victims Of Violent Crime
"The availability of huge federal anti-drug grants incentivizes departments to pay for SWAT team armor and weapons, and leads our police officers to abandon real crime victims in our communities in favor of ratcheting up their drug arrest stats," said former Los Angeles Deputy Chief of Police Stephen Downing. Downing is now a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, an advocacy group of cops and prosecutors who are calling for an end to the drug war.
"When our cops are focused on executing large-scale, constitutionally questionable raids at the slightest hint that a small-time pot dealer is at work, real police work preventing and investigating crimes like robberies and rapes falls by the wayside," Downing said.

"Paradox": Federal Workers/Contractors Donate More to Candidate Promising Most Cuts to Government
from The Washington Post:
Bloomberg:
Ron Paul, the presidential candidate who says he’ll shrink government the most, is attracting more campaign cash than any of his Republican rivals from two unlikely sources: U.S. government workers and employees of the biggest federal contractors.
Related:
Military personnel donate more to the candidate who promises an end to most military operations world wide than all other Republican candidates combined, even outpacing the Nobel Peace-Prize-Winner-in-Chief.

Is There No Shame?
It seems that everyone in positions of power across the spectrum of education, religion, finance, and politics are psychopaths, bent upon self-destruction no matter the cost to society or unborn generations. Our nation has degenerated into an egocentric, self-loathing, vain, shallow excuse for a civilization. There is anger flaring up, but it is just as likely to be misdirected and misinformed. The lack of critical thinking skills and the overwhelming effects of media propaganda has so degraded the intelligence of the populace that when the system breaks down in the next few years, the masses will clamor for a savior rather than seeking truthful answers and willingly making the sacrifices required to get our nation back on track. This country will get what it deserves – a despotic ruler and a brutish civilization governed on the basest of principles. This is what happens when a society rewards lying and greed over honesty and compassion. There are consequences to actions and inactions alike. We’ve made our choice.

The U.S. Military Doesn't Fight For Us
Sure, there are many "good" soldiers who believe that their job is to protect and defend their country, their people and the Constitution. But they don't. They fight to protect and enforce the policies of giant multi-national banks, corporations, and the freedom-hating Globalists who run them and who actually despise the laws and values that America was founded upon. War is a racket. To Hell with war!
Conan O'Brien Shows How All Corporate Media is Scripted
Corporate press-release institutions (ABCNNBCBS, and FAUX) are not composed of journalists and don't deal in reporting honest news. They are SCRIPT-READERS. That is, they are if they want to keep their jobs.

Israel Called Biggest Threat to World Peace
America easily takes top honors, followed by Israel, Britain, and France...A new European Commission poll rated 15 countries. Respondents called Israel the biggest threat to world peace. So did past surveys, including a previous 2003 European Commission one.
The Wiesenthal Center whines:
While the European Commission will release the full results of the poll on Monday, the International Herald Tribune reported that the 7,500 people polled living in the European Union (500 in each of the 15 E.U. member states) were presented with a list of 15 countries and asked if these countries present a threat to world peace. Shockingly [sic], Israel was rated first.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Iran is the biggest threat to the United States and its allies in the Middle East, surpassing al Qaeda, which is down but not out, a senior military official said on Friday.

Reporters were allowed to cover the event on condition that the senior military official not be identified.

HOW TO TURN THE BLOOD OF OUR CHILDREN INTO GOLD FOR THE BANKERS
by Mike Rivero
1. Nation A and Nation B are at peace, and free of debt.
2. The bankers, aka the money-junkies hire the presstitutes to tell Nation A that Nation B is coming to kill them unless Nation A attacks Nation B first. (Hitler at Gleiwitz, or Saddam's nuclear weapons, as only two examples) Donations are made to candidates who are willing to murder a few million people for a piece of the profits.
3. The money-junkies loan nation A the money to buy weapons to blow up nation B.
4. Nation B says "What the hell is this crap? Why are you attacking us?"
5. The money-junkies loan nation B the money to buy weapons to blow up nation A.
6. The war rages on and eventually one side wins and one sides loses. It doesn't really matter which one, as both Nation A and Nation B are now heavily into debt to the money-junkies.
7. The money-junkies loan nation A the money to repair and replace all they lost in the war. Nation A eventually gets back to the exact same life they had before the war only now they are hopelessly in debt to the money-junkies.
8. The money-junkies loan nation B the money to repair and replace all they lost in the war. Nation B eventually gets back to the exact same life they had before the war only now they are hopelessly in debt to the money-junkies.
9. The money-junkies hire the presstitutes to tell Nation C that Nation D is coming to kill them unless Nation D attacks Nation C first. Donations are made to candidates who are willing to murder a few million people for a piece of the profits.
Do you see how it works now? Do you see why we are always at war? Do you understand that as long as private central bankers control the economies of nations that wars murdering millions of innocents are inevitable?

terrifying robot bird drones may join u.s. air force
If Air Force researchers have their way, the military's next flying robots of doom will be tiny, and indistinguishable from the naked eye from small birds, bats or even insects. And they'll take their first flight in a freaky "Micro-Aviary" in Ohio, where engineers make mini-machines modeled on those creatures of the sky.
Sheriffs Stand TALL for the Constitution
Here are eight county sheriffs from Northern CA and Southern OR speaking on at panel at the Defend Rural America event October 22, 2011 in Yreka. Despite the low media coverage there were about 700 people in attendance from all over California, Oregon and as far away as Wyoming. The sheriffs made it perfectly clear that they are the last line of defense for their citizens and given authority by the 10th Amendment.

Media Silence Is Deafening About Important Gun News
Murder and violent crime rates were supposed to soar after the Supreme Court struck down gun control laws in Chicago and Washington, D.C.
But Armageddon never happened. Newly released data for Chicago shows that, as in Washington, murder and gun crime rates didn't rise after the bans were eliminated -- they plummeted. They have fallen much more than the national crime rate.

Words vs Deeds
Grand-scale hypocrisy in action.
The globalist oligarchs wrapping themselves in the flag and pretending to love America and its core values only promote "democracy" when it concerns countries they want to bomb, invade, or generally force their will upon. Voices can "be heard", leaders will "respond", and "progress" can be made if--and only if--it is on the globalist oligarchs' terms. Everything else is a threat, and must be dealt with as such. Case in point...

The 5 Craziest Soldiers of Fortune To Ever Cash a Paycheck
Some people are reluctantly called to war, either drafted into service or volunteering out of a sense of duty. Other people, well, they just really like fighting.
That's why there is such a thing as the soldier of fortune, the mercenary who'll show up and fight in a war between two countries he didn't even know existed until they offered him a paycheck. It takes a certain breed of person to lead this lifestyle. And that breed is batshit insane.

What's behind the scorn for the Wall Street protests?
It's unsurprising that establishment media outlets have been condescending, dismissive and scornful of the ongoing protests on Wall Street. Any entity that declares itself an adversary of prevailing institutional power is going to be viewed with hostility by establishment-serving institutions and their loyalists. That's just the nature of protests that take place outside approved channels, an inevitable by-product of disruptive dissent: those who are most vested in safeguarding and legitimizing establishment prerogatives (which, by definition, includes establishment media outlets) are going to be hostile to those challenges.
