If Obamacare wasn’t already loaded with coverage’s and procedures that most American tax payers don’t want to pay for, add one more to the list. Gender reassignment surgery is now covered under the new plan and the waiting lists are already filled for months. Full Story Here… Now individuals who are one sex and want to be another can now get this elective procedure and have you pay for it.
What does this say about our culture in America? Countries around the world that have strong religious or moral beliefs must find this development horrifying, ridiculous, or both. It would be one thing if you were born as an Transvestite and wanted the extra parts removed, so that you could live as one sex for the rest of your life. However this is not the case, these individuals are born complete as one sex and have now decided to mutilate their bodies so that they can be the opposite sex.
This is a country of free people with self-determination and no matter how abhorrent I find this to be, they should be legally allowed to get this procedure. That being said, tax payers should not be forced into paying for these elective procedures. What is to stop these individuals in the future from changing their minds and then demanding to be changed back into their original sex? What will be next if we continue down this path of anything goes?

A vigil was held for 18 year old Mike Brown, who was shot and killed by Ferguson law enforcement. Many residents of the community were very upset about the shooting. According to reports, Mike Brown assaulted an officer who shot and killed brown in self-defense. The controversy surrounds the fact that Mike Brown was unarmed and many residents felt the killing was an unnecessary use of force.
After the vigil some residents of Ferguson went on a rampage looting and destroying their own community. Full Story Here…
When are certain groups of people ever going to learn that rioting is just theft and destruction. It never helps resolve the issue of police brutality against ethnic minorities. They would be far better off having a peaceful protest in front of the police station or their city hall, demanding that their be a full investigation of the officer in question.
However, some people cannot pass up an opportunity to steal stuff they want and run wild destroying other peoples property. Talk about group think followed out to its logical conclusion, which is chaos. Watch the video below and you tell me if all of these people are out there because of Mike Brown or because they just want to run wild?
After watching the full footage of the encounter, it looks to be taken in context.(Full version here…) Obviously, most cops are good people just trying to do a good job of protecting the citizenry. This cop also seems to be a fairly decent guy.
The part that concerns me and should concern you, is what the officer said about Obama. The in context statement saying quote “because Obama has decimated the constitution, he feels it no longer applies to him as an officer”.
I wonder about which part of “Law Enforcement” he doesn’t understand? The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land and trumps all other city, state, and federal laws. Maybe he forgot the oath he took to uphold the Constitution when he graduated the police academy?
It comes down to this, the fish rots from the head down. What I mean is that people actions reflect leadership. Like the officer said, if the president doesn’t have to follow the law then why does he need to? I would like to hear that officer’s response to this question. If the police don’t follow the law then why do the citizens need to?

As the Ebola epidemic in Africa continues, the National Institute of Health is going to be starting voluntary human trials for an experimental Ebola vaccine in September. They have said the vaccine has showed “encouraging results” in primates. The study will be finished in January and they are hoping for positive results. If approved they will have it ready sometime in 2015 to be shipped over to Africa in hopes of containing this horrible disease. Hopefully the people of the United States will not have a need for this vaccine, if the outbreak can be isolated to just Africa. Full Story here…
Back here in the United States the majority of the populace is concerned, but not panicked as no domestic cases have been reported. Even though we have been fortunate thus far, preparations are well underway in case the worst were to take place. At the beginning of August president Obama updated a previous executive order 13295 which allows for the, “apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable diseases.”
The amendment signed by Obama replaces subsection (b) of the original Bush executive order which referred only to SARS. Obama’s amendment allows for the detention of Americans who display, “Severe acute respiratory syndromes, which are diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are capable of being transmitted from person to person, and that either are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic, or, upon infection, are highly likely to cause mortality or serious morbidity if not properly controlled.”
Although Ebola was listed on the original executive order signed by Bush, Obama’s amendment ensures that Americans who merely show signs of respiratory illness, with the exception of influenza, can be forcibly detained by medical authorities.
Which brings me full circle to a topic that many Americans may have forgotten. That is forced vaccinations, back when the swine flu was being touted by the mainstream media as a possible epidemic this debate surfaced. On one hand you had the pro forced vaccination people who’s argument was that unvaccinated people threaten the quote “herd immunity”. Effectively saying that unvaccinated people could carry the disease and possibly infect others despite them being vaccinated. The other side of the argument is that individuals under the constitution, have the right of determining what they put into their bodies. No matter what side you are on, odds are your going to get another opportunity to fight for your ideology.
If the Ebola pandemic doesn’t become realized in the United States, their will be pandemic in the future that will bring this issue to a head. Be aware that one day you will receive a knock on your front door and instead of it being a census worker, who is there to ask you a bunch of invasive questions and you can choose to just slam the door in their face. This time it will be another vassal of the state with a needle in his hand saying that they need to come in and inject your entire family for your protection. If you choose to refuse, you will be effectively arrested and detained against your will for the quote “public safety”
What will you do?

CIA Director John Brennan has determined that employees “acted in a manner inconsistent with the common understanding” said Dean Boyd agency spokesperson. Full Story Here… This after Brennan denied Feinstein’s accusations, telling News Stations “As far as the allegations of the CIA hacking into Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth.… That’s beyond the scope of reason.”
The files the CIA were trying to access, were personal files from Senator Feinstein’s records relating to Rendition, Torture, and Dentition conducted under the Bush administration. Doesn’t this make you wonder what was in those files? Those files should be available to the public. That way American Citizens can see what kind of policies they are supporting by allowing these type of politicians to represent them in congress.

The first reports about the second quarter GDP numbers of 4% growth should be a pleasant surprise to investors.
Full Story Here… However, Investors are far more concerned about the Federal Reserve policy meeting and whether they are going to increase short term interest rates.
The stock market is currently trading lower despite the great GDP numbers. Why do investors ignore this good news? it is because they understand that in the first quarter the original numbers they came out with, had GDP growth numbers of almost 3%. And then the first revision came out, which took it down to about 1% GDP growth. About a month ago the final GDP numbers came in at negative 2.9% GDP growth. The morale of the story is that the federal governments data on the economy is unreliable at best and intentionally misleading at worst.
A Minnesota jury ruled in majority favor of Jesse Ventura on Tuesday, awarding him a sum of 1.8 million dollars. Ventura’s legal argument was that Chris Kyle had defamed him publicly in his book “American Sniper”. Ventura’s Lawyer Olsen said Kyle’s claims that Ventura said he hated America, thought the U.S. military was killing innocent civilians in Iraq and that the SEALs “deserve to lose a few” had made him a pariah in the community that mattered most to him — the brotherhood of current and former SEALs. Full Story Here…
According to 8 out of the 10 jurors they thought that Kyle had in fact defamed Ventura, costing him a lot of money in his career. This case is especially sad because of Kyle’s death at a gun range in last year, has left his widow to pay out the judgment. Both men are former Navy Seals with distinguished records. It is unfortunate that things worked out this way.
The recent military incursion by the Israels government into the Gaza strip has brought massive condemnation from their supposed western allies and the United Nations. I concur that this tragedy is awful and that hundreds of innocent Palestinians are dieing. However, I do feel that the state of Israel has every right to defend its citizens from rocket attacks and other forms of violence which are coming from the Gaza strip.
All that aside, what I find even more disturbing is the dramatic rise in Antisemitism throughout Europe. It is getting super nasty fro Jews living in Britain,France, Germany, and Italy. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2707421/Rising-tide-anti-semitism-Britain-Jewish-people-face-backlash-bloodshed-Gaza.html and another story out Rome here…
When did these countries populaces suddenly turn on the Jewish people? When we look closer at the protestors the are almost exclusively Muslim’s. It is not like these individuals are just peacefully protesting in the streets, they are spray painting swastikas, hailing Hitler, and causing property damage to Jewish business. In the one month Britain has reported more than 100 hate crimes against Jewish people. This is a very serious and disturbing trend which leads me to ask how did Europe become so antisemitic?
The answer lies within the structure of the European Union. Under the control of the Eu most of these historically pro Jewish countries have been forced to open their borders to 10 of millions of migrants from Turkey, Palestine, eastern Europe, and many other countries whom have a heavy Muslim population.
This trend makes me very uncomfortable as here in the US as under the NAFTA agreement we are being led to the same result. With no southern border, we are being invaded by a culture that is far different from ours. Just as the Muslims in Europe these individuals are not looking to assimilate, they are looking to subvert our culture and replace it with pro-Latino message of reconquista or La Raza culture. Keep a watchful eye on the US as she will change as Europe has moving forward into a more integrated North American Union.

Michelle Obama announced today that she has enlisted the support of Monsanto to help her push her failing “lets Move” campaign. “When I see a company like Monsanto launch an initiative like this, I feel more hopeful than ever before,” Obama said at a recent event to announce the deal. “We can improve how we make and sell food in this country.”
“It’s a natural extension of what we do,” Monsanto official Michael Stern, told the Associated Press.
Maybe so, but it’s not clear how a company that’s primarily known for producing seeds and herbicides for farmers is going to nudge children into eating foods the first lady thinks they should be eating. Full Story Here….
The only natural thing about this cooperation between the Obama’s and Monsanto is their disturbing relationship. In my opinion this support is a token of repayment for the president signing a law a recently, which provides blanket immunity for the Monsanto corporation from lawsuits. Full Story here…
That is correct, if in the future it is discovered that GMO foods cause negative health effects to humans. Then the people damaged by their products will have no legal recourse. That sounds like the America you know and love right?
In fact and by definition this type of cooperation between huge multinational corporations and governments is Fascism. I would encourage everybody to do their own research on the effects of GMO’s in other types of animals.
Full Story here… The FDA allows Monsanto to do their own studies for safety, despite the obvious conflict of interest.
Monsanto spends millions of dollars trying to prevent GMO labeling in every state that it comes to the ballet on. This year in Oregon it will be a huge battle that hopefully result in GMO labeling being required. I will leave you with this thought. If GMO’s where so safe, then why did they lobby for immunity from prosecution for the effects of their product and why do they not want Americans to know if their are GMO’s in their products? It does not take a rocket scientist to deduce that they have something nefarious to hide. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a ?

Sixty-seven percent (67%) of Likely U.S. Voters say America is a more divided nation than it was four years ago. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just seven percent (7%) think the country is less divided now, while 21% rate the level of division as about the same. Full story here….
Another question on the poll asked if they thought that the country was headed in the right direction. Only 25% of them thought that America was on the right track. I personally think that this is a pretty high number considering that congress only has a 7% approval rating and the dictator in chief is around 40% approval.
This begs us to question why has America has become so divided? In my opinion it starts with leadership and ends with accountability. In the United States we have neither. The populace has become so focused on their daily lives and become so disempowered due to economic adversity, that they do not have the time or inclination to become politically self-aware. This leads to a few different trends. First, it has led to dismal voter turnouts for both presidential and midterm elections. Second, it has led to the most uniformed voting populace in the history of the country, who votes for goodies or along party lines.
The leadership that we have in both parties are unaccountable and are effectively agents for the large multinational corporations. Don’t think that is true? When is the last time a CEO of a fortune 500 company went to jail? Ken Lay Enron ? The American people have been drawn into thinking that Race, Religion, and Party affiliation is what defines them as a group within the geopolitical landscape. However, nothing could be further from the truth. The only classification that matters to the elite interests who influence our country is the amount of wealth and power one has.
In order to return the greatest experiment in personal freedom the world has ever seen to glory. Individuals must shed the a fore mentioned classifications and concentrate on what brings us together in solidarity. If you wonder what that is, read the bill of rights and think about what kind of future your children are going to have.
A house divided cannot stand, meaning that if we don’t come together as a nation of self-empowered free thinking citizens and demand accountability from our leaders. The United States will exist in name only, as that everything that had made here the greatest nation in history will be gone.

U.S. officials, some speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss administration strategy, said the shooting down of the civilian jetliner —- blamed by the U.S. on pro-Russian separatists armed by Russia —- should ignite anti-Putin sentiment and push reluctant EU countries to catch up to the more stringent sanctions the U.S. had imposed last week. Dutch and other European citizens were among the 298 passengers and crew that perished.
Full Story here….
The US will continue to push it European allies to increase economic sanctions against the Russian Government over the Malaysian airline shoot down. Many European countries have been reluctant to damage their own economies, in order to put pressure on Putin and the Russian government. However, with this travesty being blamed on the Putin directly in the western media, allies in Europe will effectively be shamed into acquiescing to Washington’s power play.
There are still many questions to be answered. Why was the this flight flying over an active war zone, where western Ukrainian bombers have been operating for over a week? and one of those bombers was shot down just days before this flight? All US flights per the FAA had been told to stay out of the region for over a month.
With all this finger pointing going on, nobody in the mainstream media can answer the most relevant question. That is what would Putin and the Russian government have to possibly gain by ordering the rebels or their military to shoot down a civilian passenger jet? On the flip side what would they have to lose? They would stand to lose everything regarding with relationships with their European allies.
What is the truth? we may never know for sure. However, it is evident that this incident will further us down the path to a cold-war relationship with Russia and her allies. War is never a good thing for the common people of the world.

Breaking news this morning regarding the Malaysian passenger jet which was shot down in eastern Ukraine. The report claims that upon entering Ukrainian airspace the pilot of MH17 decided to change course, which resulted in the jet flying over the heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine. The eastern Ukrainian rebels had shot down a western Ukrainian/NATO war bomber on Monday. So it would be very easy for them to mistake a jet at 33,000 feet and shoot it down. Full Story Here….
As I stated in yesterdays article, the western Ukrainian government is the aggressive side in this proxy war right now. They have been shelling cities wholesale and high altitude bombing runs with high civilian causalities. Despite their tactics the have not been able to make much headway in retaking eastern Ukrainian cities. In my opinion, the newly appointed government in Kiev by far has the most to gain from possibly redirecting a commercial airliner into a hot war zone. If that plane would be shot down by mistake or intention they would be able to demonize their opposition further in the minds of the international community. Further this would lead to more NATO support and possible US intervention into the area.
I am not a fan of Putin, however, just because you may not like somebody doesn’t mean you should forgo your common sense and ability to critically think about the facts and their implications. I encourage everyone to think for yourself, because if you let the mainstream media do your thinking for you….your in trouble on so many levels.
