Iran is building a mock-up of the USS Nimitz-class nuclear carrier near Bandar Abbas

Iranian mock-up of aircraft carrier.

At the same time as President Barack Obama was sending New Year greetings to the Iranian people Thursday, March 20, US satellites snapped shots of a mockup of Iran’s first aircraft carrier under construction at the Revolutionary Guards naval base of Bandar Abbas. After decoding the images, US intelligence experts were astonished to find it was a replica of a US Nimitz-class super-carrier. DEBKAfile reports that the construction work was first picked up by drones from the US Navy’s 5th Fleet, which operates in the Persian Gulf, Red Sea and Arabian Sea.

In his message, the US president challenged Iran’s leaders to “take meaningful and verifiable steps to assure the world that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only” for the sake of “a new beginning,” including “a better relationship with the United States and the American people, rooted in mutual interest and mutual respect.”

Of the US Navy’s 10 operational Nimitz-class carriers, two – the USS George H.W. Bush and the USS Harry S. Truman — are currently deployed in the Middle East. Each is 330 meters long and carries on is decks up to 3,000 naval and air crew and 85-90 fighter craft and helicopters.

How China Imported A Record $70 BIllion In Physical Gold Without Sending The Price Of Gold Soaring

A little over a month ago, we reported that following a year of record-shattering imports, China finally surpassed India as the world’s largest importer of physical gold. This was hardly a surprise to anyone who has been following our coverage of the ravenous demand for gold out of China, starting in September 2011, and tracing it all the way to the present.

China’s apetite for physical gold, which is further shown below focusing just on 2012 and 2013, has been estimated by Goldman to amount to over $70 billion in bilateral trade between just Hong Kong and China alone.

BREAKING: Video of Renee Ellmers Berating Anti-Amnesty Constituents

Yesterday, Ron Woodward of NC Listen reported on a meeting he had with Renee Ellmers on the topic of immigration and amnesty. He claimed he had exited the meeting appalled both by her positions and by her behavior.

One of the constituents attending the meeting recorded the conversation.

The Randolph Tea Party posted the clips online, and exclusively forwarded the links to PJ Media. Four clips of the meeting are embedded below.

At one point, Ellmers says of Woodard: “You don’t have any damn facts.”

Ellmers claims he is stereotyping, and constantly interrupts him. This conduct occurred after she had inconvenienced the group by changing locations at the last minute, refused to let all of the attendees into her office, and insisted she had to be leaving shortly.

Listen to her positions on immigration, and see if they follow her claim that she holds the same positions as Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Mike Lee. Yesterday, Lee’s Communication Director Brian Phillips answered her claim with this statement:

Concerning Life’s Dilemmas and the Lord’s Guidance

When faced with one of life’s choices, it is easy to choose between good and evil. I thought that moving to Murphy, NC would be a little less stressful but it appears that the tests put forward by the Lord are independent of location.

Concerning the debate that I attended on Thursday night on Nullification vs. an Article V Convention of the States, I believe both strategies are flawed. Nullification at the state level will not happen in North Carolina. Our legislature is bought and paid for by our federal tax dollars. An Article V convention is a dangerous pathway to tyranny.

I did arrive late (based on an assumption on the event’s location) so I missed filming the first twenty minutes. Why is the important? The following is a portion of a post on Ed Figueroa’s “Ed for Commissioner” Facebook page:

I only hope that Dr. Dan’s partner David DeGerolamo, of NCRenegade who was videotaping the event will publish this event in its entirety for everyone to see and determine for themselves what is really happening here. I applaud Mrs. Jacquie Peterson for her demeanor and very elegant presentation.

The dilemma is something that I have been contemplating since this event. I have decided not to post any video of Mrs. Peterson at this event. There are many reasons but the primary one is that no one wins. She reacted badly and the messenger gets shot also. Is it my responsibility to report events? Only if they are important. It has always been my personal policy not to edit videos that I post. I may add commentary in an article but it is up to the viewer to determine the facts presented. In fact, many of my videos are used by “the other side” to attack Liberty. Al Sharpton used one of my videos on MSNBC to attack Dr. Brannon as the most recent example.

I believe the request above to post her video is more of a challenge: whether I post this or not, both Mrs. Peterson and I lose.

I prayed for guidance last night on several issues and the message was simple: Sacred honor. We cannot let ourselves be distracted by what is not important. Our path is simple if the Lord is providing guidance. And we listen to Him. Good and evil are simple concepts: there is no gray when presenting the truth or when honor is at stake. This is not the time for distractions or personal attacks. This is the time to trust in the Lord.

The Liberty To Disobey

christian mercenary

There are only three types of people in America: the good, the evil and the zombies. While the Zombie theme is big in Hollywood and video games, it escapes me. Yet, how else to describe all of those people who, in these incredibly interesting times (for good or bad) are oblivious; who are focused on their own petty lives rather than the dramatic evolution going on around them?

The world teeters on the brink of World War III, because Putin will never stop now. Whatever chance there was to limit Putin’s desire for an empire, it is gone. How long before he invests in an effort to get California to hold a secession vote? I know there are more communists in California than dedicated patriots.

But then, it is getting to be a bit of a curious dilemma for those of us who lived through the Cold War and always associated the Soviet Union with Communism. What is Russia? They hold elections and it would be difficult to consider that Putin is not actually popular enough to win those elections. At the same time, this great nation has turned its back on everything that made it different from the Soviet Union. We live now through looking glass.

North Korea fires 30 short-range rockets

North Korea fired 30 short-range rockets into the sea off the east of the Korean peninsula early on Saturday, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported, citing the Joint Chiefs of Staff in South Korea.

The rockets, which are believed to be old Soviet-developed FROG rockets that North Korea has had since the 1960s, flew for 60 km (37 miles) before crashing into the sea, Yonhap said.

Six days ago, North Korea had fired 25 short-range rockets into the sea off its east coast.

South Korea believes the short-range rocket launches conducted by North Korea this month are an “armed protest” against the South Korean-U.S. military drills that are currently taking place.

Article V Convention: How “Individuals of Insidious Views” Are Stealing Our Constitution

By Publius Huldah

Q: How are amendments to the federal Constitution made?
A: Article V of our Constitution provides two method of amending the Constitution:

  1. Congress proposes amendments and presents them to the States for ratification; or
  2. When 2/3 of the States apply for it, Congress calls a convention to propose amendments.

Q: Which method was used for our existing 27 amendments?
A:  The first method was used for all 27 amendments including the Bill of Rights which were introduced into Congress by James Madison. 3

Q:  Is there a difference between a constitutional convention, con con, or Article V Convention?
A:  These names have been used interchangeably during the last 50 years.

Q:  What is a “convention of states”?
A:  That is what the people pushing for an Article V convention now call it. 

Q: Who is behind this push for an Art. V convention?
A:  The push to impose a new Constitution by means of an Article V convention (and using a “balanced budget” amendment as justification) started in 1963 with the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations.  1    Today, it is pushed by:

Q:  Why do they want an Article V Convention?

Prepare for the End of the Petrodollar

I believe that most people do not understand the consequences of the collapse of the petrodollar. However, it appears that we are about to find out. Get ready to see any of your assets based in 1’s and 0’s depreciate. Greatly.

David DeGerolamo

Petrodollar Alert: Putin Prepares To Announce “Holy Grail” Gas Deal With China

If it was the intent of the West to bring Russia and China together – one a natural resource (if “somewhat” corrupt) superpower and the other a fixed capital / labor output (if “somewhat” capital misallocating and credit bubbleicious) powerhouse – in the process marginalizing the dollar and encouraging Ruble and Renminbi bilateral trade, then things are surely “going according to plan.”

For now there have been no major developments as a result of the shift in the geopolitical axis that has seen global US influence, away from the Group of 7 (most insolvent nations) of course, decline precipitously in the aftermath of the bungled Syrian intervention attempt and the bloodless Russian annexation of Crimea, but that will soon change. Because while the west is focused on day to day developments in Ukraine, and how to halt Russian expansion through appeasement (hardly a winning tactic as events in the 1930s demonstrated), Russia is once again thinking 3 steps ahead… and quite a few steps east.

While Europe is furiously scrambling to find alternative sources of energy should Gazprom pull the plug on natgas exports to Germany and Europe (the imminent surge in Ukraine gas prices by 40% is probably the best indication of what the outcome would be), Russia is preparing the announcement of the “Holy Grail” energy deal with none other than China, a move which would send geopolitical shockwaves around the world and bind the two nations in a commodity-backed axis. One which, as some especially on these pages, have suggested would lay the groundwork for a new joint, commodity-backed reserve currency that bypasses the dollar, something which Russia implied moments ago when its finance minister Siluanov said that Russia may regain from foreign borrowing this year. Translated: bypass western purchases of Russian debt, funded by Chinese purchases of US Treasurys, and go straight to the source.

Here is what will likely happen next, as explained by Reuters:

Igor Sechin gathered media in Tokyo the next day to warn Western governments that more sanctions over Moscow’s seizure of the Black Sea peninsula from Ukraine would be counter-productive.

Ignorance of the Constitution Is No Excuse

See additional comments on Tea Party Nation

I attended a debate last night (March 20th) sponsored by the Union/Towns County GA Tea Party. On one side was Dr. Eichenbaum and Publius Huldah presenting the case for nullification of unconstitutional laws as outlined by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. On the other side was Mrs. Peterson representing the case for an Article V Convention of States (COS).

While I believe neither strategy will be effective, I witnessed two our of greatest failings in action: ego and ignorance. As I expected, Publius Huldah presented Constitutional facts and historical precedents (video coming) concerning both nullification and Article V. Mrs. Peterson was ill prepared and quickly took on an attack position to preserve her ego. She failed miserably. Her unbased assertions that her debating opponents were advocating secession and armed rebellion to undermine her ignorance were pitiful to watch.

But that is not the ignorance that I want to address. There were several members of the audience who took exception in the question and answer session to attack Dr. Dan and Publius Huldah for stating that they were ignorant. Well this was one case where the shoe fit and they were ignorant: ignorant of the Constitution. If we argue for our ignorance, it will be ours. Once these people realized that their “side” was dangerous to our future Liberty, they reacted like petulant children who lashed out against their teachers. Neither one actually called anyone ignorant: the reference was to “ignorant voters”.

It was a sad commentary to see people who supposedly support the Constitution and the rule of law react to support their “cause” by attacking the messengers. I have seen this too many times in the past five years: people become obsessed with their solution or cause to the exclusion of how to regain our freedom and rights under natural law. If we do not work toward this simple common goal, we will lose. And right now, we are losing badly. Understand the consequences of failure: complete tyranny. Our only “obsession” must be freedom for our children.
