Is America’s Militia Movement on the Rise?

I resent The  Nation’s labeling me as a Tea Party Leader. Gun toting, God Fearing Confederate suits me much better.

Up an unpaved Idaho road, self-styled “patriots” gather to plan and train in close-quarters battle

You may have seen it on The Colbert Report. A proposed walled city of “patriots,” known as The Citadel, received the particular dose of sarcastic humor the show reserves for militiamen and gun nuts. Colbert’s reading of the requirement that all patriot residents must own one AR-15 and 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and periodically prove their weapons’ proficiency, drew the most laughs from the audience. Six months later, this past June, when several of the Citadel’s principals appeared on Glenn Beck’s television show, the tone was just the opposite. A measured, serious discussion occurred, and the pros and cons debated of patriots’ settling in mountainous Benewah County, Idaho, and building a city where Thomas Jefferson’s “rightful liberty” would rule, and employment be provided in a weapons-manufacturing facility.

…

Kerodin’s Threeper blog shared the Tea Parties’ veneration of the Constitution and the Founding Fathers, and excoriation of un-American liberals. In return, Tea Party leaders such as North Carolina’s David DeGerolamo used the Tea Party Nation’s blog to promote Kerodin and Threeper ideas about the Constitution and the Three percent among his larger constituencies.

Bill Gertz: Dempsey confident strikes on Syria will be militarily effective

Posted on September 10, 2013 by DRenegade

Martin Dempsey / AP

U.S. missile and air strikes will be “militarily effective” in preventing the Syrian military from conducting further chemical weapons attacks and will also weaken Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told a House hearing on Tuesday.

“You know, we can’t prevent him from using chemical weapons again,” Gen. Martin Dempsey told the House Armed Services Committee.

“We’ve got a full range of options, but I will also say, importantly, the president has not yet given me the final decision on those target packages. We’ve got a range of options.”

Doug Hagmann: Intelligence insider speaks on the record about false flags & government lies

Posted on September 10, 2013 by DRenegade

Our nation and all of humanity stands at a critical crossroads in history, with Syria as the epicenter of a looming global conflict that will leave no one untouched. Despite a nearly unanimous consensus of the American people against military action in Syria, elements of our government are determined to override the will of the people and push us headlong into war in Syria, which will lead to a much greater conflagration than most are willing to believe or imagine.

As I have extensively written over the last 12 months, we are being pushed into World War III. This war, like others in the past, is based on lies and “false flag” operations, some of which have occurred, some thwarted, and others that loom just over the horizon.

Regular readers of my columns and listeners to my talk show know that the information I’ve provided about Syria and Benghazi has not only been proven accurate, but provided months in advance of the reports by the corporate media and even most conservative talk show hosts. I mention this not for self-aggrandizement, but to validate the credibility and authenticity of my “intelligence insider” who has provided me with this information. He has beenextremely accurate on every aspect of what is taking place behind the veil of lies packaged for Western consumption. For the first time ever, this insider has agreed to speak on the record in an exclusive 90-minute interview about what is really taking place behind the curtain of lies and deception.

Despite the risks, he has agreed to lend his voice to the growing opposition to the madness we see taking place at the highest levels of our government, and tell us exactly what appears to be playing out in real-time. The Western-backed uprising in Syria has claimed the lives of around 150,000 men, women and children, and displaced some five million people. If permitted to continue, some estimate the deaths of four million people in Syria alone, with death spread on a wholesale level across the globe. And it’s being done in your name.

$1 Trillion In US Bank Deposits Held Abroad Will No Longer Be Insured

Posted on September 10, 2013 by DRenegade

In the aftermath of the Cyprus bail in (and to a lesser extent the Polish pension fund debacle), it is understandable if depositors are a little sensitive about the insurance, and thus confiscability (sic), of their deposits. Starting today, following a 5-0 vote by the FDIC, depositors in foreign US bank branches will officially no longer have recourse to a $250,000 in deposit insurance. The notional amount of deposits at risk: $1 trillion. This is not a new development: the FDIC rule to curb insurance on this category of deposits was proposed earlier this year, and today was the formalization. However, questions do arise: if a major US depository institution does fail domestically, the financial state of their depositors abroad will hardly be the biggest issue.

WSJ adds:

The move rejects what officials called a “creative” legal proposal from the banking industry. “We don’t want to become the deposit insurer for the world,” FDIC officials said at a briefing.

The FDIC’s action was prompted by the move last year by U.K. regulators to propose changes in the way deposits held at overseas branches should be treated. FDIC officials said the U.K. proposal potentially opened the door to those deposits being insured by the FDIC; the rule being finalized Tuesday clarified that isn’t the case, said FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg.

Can’t buy groceries? DHS goes on another munitions spree with your money.

Posted on September 10, 2013 by DRenegade

ammo horderBy James Smith

Tomorrow marks Patriots Day, a day to commemorate the deaths of innocent Americans at the hands of terrorists.

Sadly, Patriots are considered terrorists by this government. So the government stockpiles more and more ammunition.

In the last week alone, nearly 700 million dollars has been allocated for the purchase of firearms and ammunition by a variety of agencies within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

This week, ICE has solicited for the purchase of 12 Gauge 00 Buck Reduced Recoil  shotgun rounds, made by the Federal Cartridge Corporation. Typically, in a solicitation, a set quantity is established. But in an effort similar to the TSA’s request for over $950,000,000 in explosive storage lockers, only an upper limit dollar amount is provided.

In this case, $524,043.20 has been allocated. At the estimated cost at the first link, that results in approximately 403,110 rounds. If they purchased the same rounds at their local Wal-Mart, then the cost would drop to approximately 26 cents a round or 2,015,550 rounds. But knowing government waste, they’ll probably pay 2 bucks a round and call it a savings.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

This week, CBP has requested the purchase of 287 Remington 870 shotguns to augment their armories. According to supporting documentation, only 125 shotguns are being requested. This is either a Scribner’s error, or is intentional. The total dollar amount is $159,698.75

Even in the midst of a budget crisis, this government agency has been stocking piling these weapons like a Prepper stockpiles beans and rice.

COMEX Default Risk As Gold Inventories Plummet 36%

Posted on September 10, 2013 by DRenegade

As long as gold remains in backwardation and COMEX inventories continue to fall the possibility of a COMEX default cannot be ruled out – especially as gold and silver bullion inventories are very small vis-a-vis possible capital allocations or foreign exchange diversification to gold in the coming weeks and months.

We believe that the sharp fall seen in emerging market currencies in recent weeks will lead to an increase in central bank demand for gold in order to buttress and support devaluing paper currencies.

COMEX gold inventories are down from 11.059 million ounces at the start of the year to 7.034 million ounces today. This is worth $9.66 billion at today’s prices meaning that a handful of billionaires or just one powerful creditor nation state with large foreign exchange reserves, such as Russia, could corner the COMEX gold market and cause a default.

Bank of America Kicked out of Dow Jones

Posted on September 10, 2013 by DRenegade

In yet another example of the collapse of our nation’s core businesses, Bank of America is being kicked out of the Dow Jones Industrial Average along with Alcoa and Hewlett Packard. Maybe BofA should not have treated its clients and the 2nd Amendment so badly after all as outlined previously. But then again, Goldman Sachs is replacing them: just another example of justice in America.

Dow Jones To Kick Out Losers From Index: Alcoa, Hewlett, BofA Out; Replaced With Goldman, Nike And Visa

In what has become an unspoken tradition for the Dow Jones, which maintains its upward bias by kicking out underperformers and replacing them with the investor darlings du jour, we just learned that as part of its next three-for-three rebalancing, the first since 2004, the DJIA will kick out such recent losers as Alcoa, Hewlett Packard and Bank of America, and will be replaced with Goldman, Nike and Visa:

  • ALCOA, BANK OF AMERICA, HEWLETT-PACKARD TO LEAVE DJIA
  • GOLDMAN SACHS, VISA, NIKE TO JOIN DJ INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE
  • CHANGES WERE PROMPTED BY THE LOW STOCK PRICE OF THE THREE COMPANIES SLATED FOR REMOVAL

Obamacare Regulations Are 8 Times Longer Than Bible

Posted on September 10, 2013 by DRenegade

obamaregs

Since March 2010, when President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and its companion Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA), the administration has published in the Federal Register 109 final regulations governing how Obamacare will be implemented.

These regulations add up to 10,516 pages in the Federal Register—or more than eight times as many pages as there are in the Gutenberg Bible, which has 642 two-sided leaves or 1,286 pages.

Using the regulations.gov website and the Federal Register itself, CNSNews.com found 109 distinct regulations for the implementation of PPACA and the health-care related provisions of HCERA that had been finalized by various federal agencies and published in the Federal Register as of Sept. 9, 2013.

The Federal Register publishes documents, including proposed rules, notices, interim rules, corrections, drafts of final rules and final rules. But the CNSNews.com tabulation included only final rules for the implementation of Obamacare.

The 109 final Obamacare rules that have been published in the Federal Register so far take up 10,516 pages in the register. These pages carry an average of about 1,000 words each. So, the final Obamacare regulations published so far amount to approximately 10,516 words.

Global warming computer models collapse; Arctic ice sheets rapidly expand as planet plunges into global cooling

Posted on September 10, 2013 by DRenegade

ice

For years, we’ve all heard that global warming is threatening our planet. But now, in a stunning turnaround, world scientists are warning that an era of global cooling seems to be upon us, complete with extraordinary expansions of ocean ice being recorded in just the past year.

Even the latest UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report seems to indicate that an era of global cooling is now underway, according to many scientists.

It turns out that global warming predictions were little more than doom-and-gloom fear mongering based on failed computer models.

For example, in 2007, the BBC reported that the Arctic would be “ice-free” by the summer of 2013. Here’s exactly how that fear mongering was published by the BBC:

Scientists in the US have presented one of the most dramatic forecasts yet for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice. Their latest modelling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years. Professor Wieslaw Maslowski told an American Geophysical Union meeting that previous projections had underestimated the processes now driving ice loss.

And Now, A Message from Our Fearless Leader

Posted on September 10, 2013 by DRenegade

Organizing for Action

Friend —

There’s been a lot of talk about whether Congress will pass a budget by the end of this month — or instead, as some have called for, let the government shut down.

I want to spell out exactly what a shutdown would mean:

Nearly all federal programs — and the people they work for — would suffer. We’re talking delayed military pay and veterans’ benefits. Shutting down Head Start centers, and Meals on Wheels programs. Delayed applications for new Social Security enrollments, and loans for students and small businesses.

One thing is clear: Shutting down the government will hurt the American people.

Add your name — tell Congress that shutting down the government isn’t an option.

When some members of Congress talk about a government shutdown, they frame it as a viable bargaining chip — just part of the debate over the budget.

The truth is, a government shutdown will shutter crucial services the American people depend on and wreak havoc with our economy.

President Obama has put forth a smart plan for the budget — and he’s said he’s willing to hear new ideas from people on both sides of the aisle. The budget Congress passes needs to continue to grow the economy from the middle out.

So far in this debate, though, some members of Congress have shown they’re just not serious about doing right by the people they represent.

Our elected officials shouldn’t use the economy, the budget, or even the threat of taking away health care from millions of Americans just to score political points with their base.

Add your name now — and tell Congress to avoid a government shutdown and pass a smart budget:
