The talking heads are repeating the same tired lines concerning the absolution of Hillary Clinton today. Like John Roberts, FBI director Comey will go down in history as an accomplice to the destruction of the rule of law. Sentient people already understood that tyranny and evil had engulfed the government. The only good news is that this blatant display of tyranny is waking up more people.

…it is not far off.
There’s one particular line in the Bible that is conspicuously shunned. It sits openly in Luke’s gospel, but it is nearly always glossed over… mentioned briefly and grudgingly at best.
On one hand, I condemn this on grounds of intellectual honesty, but on the other, I can very well understand why people run away from it. Believing this line would turn anyone into a radical, and that could be dangerous… and indeed it has been dangerous.
Today I will be ill-mannered enough to address this line. But first, please understand that Luke records these words as coming from Jesus’ mouth. That’s a fact, and no amount of evasion will change it.
The verse I’m referring to is found in Luke 16:15 of the New Testament, and here’s how it reads in the King James translation:
… that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
For comparison’s sake, here’s how the more modern Revised Standard Version renders it:
… what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
I could go through other versions, but you get the idea: What is held highest among men is abomination to God.
It’s quite possible to roll right past this line, but only if you never ask, “What is most highly esteemed among men?” If we dare ask that question, we run into trouble – big, ugly, hairy trouble.

Trijicon ACOG weapon sights One ACOG I am particularly fond of is the 3X30 dual illuminated ACOG with the 7.62×39 BDC for the AK Almost 10 years ago we started using ACOG weapon sights on our AKs. This has allowed us to drastically increase rates of first round hits at 300 yards and further- yes with an AK. These work great for CQB use also. These dual illuminated ACOGs REQUIRE NO BATTERIES! The dual illuminated reticle allows for proper sighting at night and low light conditions. The 3×30 magnification allows you to reach out further and to also look “into” areas of shadow at distance. This is the ultimate SHTF optic for the ultimate SHTF rifle- the AK! Comes complete with mount. I’ve run these mounted up front on an Ultimak mount that replaces the gas tube and because you use these with both eyes open, it’s not a problem whatsoever to run them upfront like that. Or if your rifle has the rail on the side of the receiver, a standard mount like in the picture on the website works fine and gives a more “normal” eye relief set up.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this optic for your AK. – JRH A COUPLE OF THESE CURRENTLY IN STOCK AND READY FOR QUICK SHIPMENT! GET THEM NOW TO AVOID THE 8 WEEK FACTORY LEAD TIME! |

FBI Director James Comey announced Tuesday he will not recommend the Department of Justice seek criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her personal email use while secretary of state.
The decision helps remove what was arguably the biggest threat to her presidential campaign going forward – a criminal referral that could have led to an indictment – just weeks before her party’s national convention in Philadelphia where she is set to seal her nomination as the Democrat standard bearer.
Clinton consistently had downplayed the FBI investigation, even calling it a “security review,” and as recently as June 3 said there was “absolutely no possibility” she’d be indicted. Weeks ago, a scathing State Department inspector general report directly countered her long-running claim that her personal email use was allowed, though her campaign continued to defend the candidate’s actions.
In the wake of that report, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump stepped up his criticism of her email actions and said she belongs in “jail.”

We no longer live in a country governed by the rule of law. How many FBI agents will resign in protest?
There is a two tiered system of justice in this country and we are not on the right side.

The threat of a devastating cyber attack on the U.S. electrical grid is increasing due to the Obama administration’s politically correct policies that spend vast sums on green and smart grid technologies while failing to secure power grids from cyber attack.
A report by the Manhattan Institute, a New York think tank, warns that the push to integrate wind and solar electrical power into the $6 trillion electric utility system has created new vulnerabilities that other nations could exploit in a future cyber war.
“Electric grids have always been vulnerable to natural hazards and malicious physical attacks,” writes Mark Mills, a physicist and engineer who authored the Manhattan Institute report. “Now the U.S. faces a new risk—cyber attacks—that could threaten public safety and greatly disrupt daily life.”
The U.S. electrical power network is not made up of a single grid, but a complex web of eight regional “supergrids” linked to thousands of local grids. Under a drive for improved efficiency, government policymakers and regulators in recent years have spent tens of billions of dollars on so-called “smart grid” technology. But the efficiency drive has not been matched with new technology that will secure grids against cyber attacks.
n a stark flashback to the catalytic event that ultimately brought down Bear Stearns in 2008, and subsequently unleashed the greatest financial crisis in history, last night we reported that Standard Life, has been forced to stop retail investors selling out of one of the UK’s largest property funds for at least 28 days after rapid cash outflows were sparked by fears over falling real estate values.
As we further noted, citing an analyst, “given the outflows the sector seems to be experiencing, this could well put downward pressure on commercial property prices,” said Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. “The risk is this creates a vicious circle, and prompts more investors to dump property, until such time as sentiment stabilises.”
Have you seen what the price of silver has been doing? On Monday, it exploded past 20 dollars an ounce, and as I write this article it is sitting at $20.48. Earlier today it actually surged above 21 dollars an ounce for a short time before moving back just a bit. In late March, I told my readers that silver was “ridiculously undervalued” when it was sitting at $15.81 an ounce, and that call has turned out to be quite prescient. The Friday before last, silver started the day at $17.25 an ounce, and it is up more than 18 percent since that time. Overall, silver is up more than 30 percent for the year, and that makes it one of the best performing investments of 2016. So what is causing this sudden surge in the price of silver? This is something that we will discuss below…
This sudden spike in the price of silver has definitely caught a lot of analysts off guard. Some are suggesting that the fact that the Fed is now less likely to raise rates after the Brexit and the fact that the dollar has been slipping a bit lately are the primary reasons for silver’s rise…
This isn’t a gradual increase either. It’s an explosive growth spurt. Just three months ago silver had reached an 11 month high. Now silver prices have reached a 23 month high. Several factors appear to be influencing these gains, including a weakening dollar, and the fact that the Fed may cut interest rates in light of the Brexit vote.
Personally, I don’t buy those explanations.
To me, the continuing implosion of major banks over in Europe is the main factor that is driving investors to safe haven assets such as silver.
Rumors continue to spread that Deutsche Bank is essentially insolvent at this point, and many are watching for the imminent collapse of the largest and most important bank in Germany. When this happens, it will be a much, much more cataclysmic event for the global financial system than the collapse of Lehman Brothers was back in 2008.
But today I want to focus on the ongoing implosion of the major banks in Italy.
Back in May 2013, we wrote an article titled “Europe’s EUR 500 Billion Ticking NPL Time Bomb” in which we laid out very simply what the biggest danger facing European banks was: non-performing, or bad, loans.
We further said, that “Europe’s non-performing loan problem is such an issue that there is increasing bluster that the ECB may take this garbage on to its balance sheet since policymakers realize that bad debts and non-performing loans (NPLs) reduce the capacity of banks to lend, hindering the monetary policy transmission mechanism. Bad debts consume capital and make banks more risk averse, especially with respect to lending to higher risk borrowers such as SMEs. With Italy (NPLs 13.4%) now following the same dismal trajectory of Spain’s bad debts, the situation is rapidly escalating (at an average of around 2.5% increase per year).
The conclusion was likewise simple:
“The bottom line is that at its core, it is all simply a bad-debt problem, and the more the bad debt, the greater the ultimate liability impairments become, including deposits. As we answered at the time – the real question in Europe is: how much impairment capacity is there in the various European nations before deposits have to be haircut? With Periphery non-performing loans totaling EUR 720bn across the whole of the Euro area in 2012 and EUR 500bn of which were with Peripheral banks.”
Another 4th of July has passed.
I was reading an article concerning the Declaration of Independence written by a self-serving politician who did not know his history so I have included some facts below.
Also, remember that Brexit is the second time that British citizens declared their independence.

Although Thomas Jefferson is often called the “author” of the Declaration of Independence, he wasn’t the only person who contributed important ideas. Jefferson was a member of a five-person committee appointed by the Continental Congress to write the Declaration. The committee included Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman.
Robert Livingston, one of the members of the committee who wrote the Declaration of Independence, never signed it. He believed that it was too soon to declare independence and therefore refused to sign.
One of the most widely held misconceptions about the Declaration of Independence is that it was signed on July 4, 1776. In fact, independence was formally declared on July 2, 1776, a date that John Adams believed would be “the most memorable epocha in the history of America.” On July 4, 1776, Congress approved the final text of the Declaration. It wasn’t signed until August 2, 1776.
After Jefferson wrote his first draft of the Declaration, the other members of the Declaration committee and the Continental Congress made 86 changes to Jefferson’s draft, including shortening the overall length by more than a fourth.
When writing the first draft of the Declaration, Jefferson primarily drew upon two sources: his own draft of a preamble to the Virginia Constitution and George Mason’s draft of Virginia’s Declaration of Rights.

I first read a story about this a couple of days ago and wondered if the scary incident involved Somalis, but the word ‘Somali’ was absent in the written account and it wasn’t until a reader, Dede, directed people to watch the video that we learned our first instincts were correct.
I’m telling you, the lengths to which the media goes to hide the truth when it involves refugees of a certain ‘religious’ persuasion is stunning. Why on earth leave the key piece of information people need out of the written news report!
Here is the story (do you see the word “Somali” in the text?). Now watch the video (this is a screen shot in case they remove this from the video).
I guess we should be grateful that at least the broadcast version of the story used the ‘S’ word!
This should be on the national news!
Just envision this happening in your neighborhood!
How are Americans ever going to be prepared and proactive if we don’t even know what is happening in the next city, let alone the next state! You know, I tell people in Maryland what is happening in Minnesota and they don’t believe me because they haven’t seen it on Fox News! Ahhhhhh!
Everything you own is being divided up by banks and the government and you are not even in on the discussion. This is because you think it is your money, your property, your things. They understand the power structure, so they know that all of these things are theirs. Don’t worry though, they will let you use them until they decide to take ownership. It will take some time. First, they have to convince you that you have no right to these things and that is taking place at present.
People with rights are not concerned about the machinations of banks or governments, because they are in possession of their property and will defend such with their lives. They do not have “deeds of trust” they have titles to land. There is a very simple concept of ownership. If one buys a chain saw, let’s say, it is theirs, they do not have to pay any more money in order to keep it. When one holds a “deed of trust” they must continually pay taxes in order to maintain possession of the property. That is not ownership, that is tenancy.
