Remember when Obama and others said we “couldn’t drill our way out” of an oil crisis? They were wrong. Americans will be hitting the road in record numbers this Fourth of July. This is the prediction of AAA, anyway, and it seems like a fairly safe one. And the good news, as Steven Mufson writes at the Washington Post, is gasoline prices are hitting lows at the start of the summer driving season, a time when increased demand typically bumps up the cost of gas. This year, however, for the week that ended June 19, the nationwide average price of regular gasoline was $2.32 a gallon, about the same as June 2000 when adjusted for inflation. So what happened? Well, above all ...
What America Taught a Murderous Drug Warrior

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte follows prohibitionist logic to its lethal conclusion.The masked gunmen came for Paquito Mejos two days after he surrendered to police in Manila, identifying himself as an occasional user of methamphetamine, known locally as shabu. The cops later claimed Mejos, a 53-year-old electrician and father of five, was a drug dealer who drew a gun on them. Relatives say the cops planted the gun, along with a packet of meth. This is what daily life during Rodrigo Duterte's murderous war on drugs looks like, which is why his critics were dismayed that Donald Trump seemed to bless it during a "very friendly" telephone conversation with the Philippine ...
The Great American Rip-Off [entitlements fraud]

Ask a politician how he wants to balance the budget and, nine times out of ten, he’ll give you a politician’s answer: cutting “waste, fraud, and abuse.” Normally, the correct response to this is contempt and mockery: What drives federal spending isn’t office supplies walking out the back door with a rogue secretary at the Merit Systems Protection Board — what drives federal spending is Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. And you know where there’s a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse? Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Identifying small-ball efficiencies at obscure federal agencies would not do very much to get federal spending under control, but ...

Solar Panels Generate 300 Times More Toxic Waste Than Nuclear Reactors

Solar panels create 300 times more toxic waste per unit of electricity generated than nuclear power plants, according to a Thursday report from the pro-nuclear group Environmental Progress (EP). The report found that solar panels use heavy metals, including lead, chromium and cadmium, which can harm the environment. The hazards of nuclear waste are well known and can be planned for, but very little has been done to mitigate solar waste issues. “The problem with waste from solar is that it isn’t handled as well as nuclear waste,” Dr. Jeff Terry, a professor of nuclear physics involved in energy research at the Illinois Institute of Technology, told The Daily Caller News ...

Buy your food from the CIA: Amazon buys Whole Foods

by Jon Rappoport June 19, 2017 When Amazon boss and billionaire Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post in 2013, he also had an ongoing $600 million contract to provide cloud computing services to the CIA. That meant the Washington Post, which already had a long history of cooperation with the CIA, renewed their wedding vows with the Agency and doubled down on the alliance. By any reasonable standard of journalism, the Post should preface every article about the CIA, or article sourced from the CIA, with a conflict of interest admission: TAKE THIS PIECE WITH A FEW GIANT GRAINS OF SALT, BECAUSE OUR NEWSPAPER IS OWNED BY A MAN WHO HAS A HUGE CONTRACT TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE CIA. Now Bezos ...
Tyranny at Home to Fight Tyranny Abroad

President Trump has reminded us of how the U.S. government destroyed the liberty of the American people in the name of fighting tyranny abroad. Exercising the same dictatorial method that his predecessors have employed — executive decrees — he has made it illegal again for most Americans to travel to Cuba and spend money there. Trump’s justification? The communist regime in Cuba is tyrannical and engages in human-rights abuses. Think about that for a moment: A foreign regime is tyrannical and so what does a U.S. president do? Through a decree-law, he imposes his own tyranny on his own citizenry by punishing Americans who travel to Cuba or do business there. Let’s not ...
Socialist Bernie Sanders Celebrates Independence With Government Dependence

It isn’t a secret that Bernie Sanders is a socialist. Although his attempts to woo government worshippers fell on deaf ears after Hillary Clinton’s team stole the Democrat nomination from him, he’s making sure he doesn’t give up. Doubling down on his ignorant political rhetoric, Sanders (an “independent” from Vermont) is observing Independence Day by celebrating government dependence. Someone should tell Sanders that his policies are doomed to fail. A quick glance at Illinois’ situation should be evidence enough, but socialists don’t like facts or evidence – they get in the way of their statist religious beliefs. We all know ...
Cop Paints Himself in Fake Blood to Scare Citizens into Worshiping Police ("Copaganda")

The police officer who became known on social media after he posted a video on the Dallas police shootings last year, is back with another passionate video in support of local law enforcement. However, some are saying his latest production both ignores statistics and defies common sense. Lieutenant Charles “Chuck” Wells, who serves in Benton County, Arkansas, begins the video dressed in uniform, with blood smeared across his face. From the scene, it looks like Wells just completed a traffic stop, and suffered some sort of assault. But both the scene and the blood are fake. The officer addressed all Americans who may encounter his video and asks, “Is what you’re ...
Top 10 Pieces of Modern Day Propaganda
Post Date: 2017-07-02 12:34:43 by Deckard
0 Comments
Propaganda in modern times has become both easier and harder to detect. It’s easier to detect in the sense that there are more places to get information and it’s easier to fact check the claims of the MSM (Mainstream Media) by going to the original report and source and seeing for yourself. It’s harder to detect in that people are busy and distracted, and all too often forget that a giant conglomerate of 6 mega multinational corporations owns 85-90% of the world’s media, and thus the same lie can be promulgated through thousands of avenues, outlets and channels – with some people falsely believing it’s all coming from different sources and representing ...

Black Rock City, NV – Music festivals have grown in popularity over the past several years, and to some extent, these events have provided a safe haven for people to party and enjoy themselves. However, these situations have naturally created a target for police who are seeking to generate revenue through drug arrests. This vacation season, art and music festivals are going to be a honeypot for police, who have announced that they will be strongly targeting some of the biggest events in the country, including the legendary Burning Man, which takes place in the deserts of Nevada each year. Burning Man has become one of the most targetted events by police over the years, and the Bureau ...
Masterpiece Cakeshop Is Fighting for the First Amendment, Not Against Gay Marriage

This week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips, the man who refused to create a specialty wedding cake for a same-sex couple in Colorado in 2012. Yet the stories that dominate coverage distort the public's understanding of the case and its serious implications. For one thing, no matter how many times people repeat it, the case isn't about discrimination or challenging gay marriage. But when the news first broke, USA Today, for example, tweeted, "The Supreme Court has agreed to reopen the national debate over same-sex marriage." The headline (and story) on the website was worse; it read, "Supreme Court will hear ...

Don’t want to be portrayed as a villain? Stop restricting free speech.Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) members were passing out pocket-sized copies of the U.S. Constitution to fellow students at Kellogg Community College (KCC) in Michigan when college officials approached them and ordered them to stop. When the members refused—arguing that the First Amendment protected their actions—they were arrested for violating the school's policies. The charges were dropped 10 days later, but KCC students and YAL members Michelle Gregoire and Brandon Withers, along with the rest of the KCC YAL chapter, sued the community college, the Board of Trustees, and a few other administrators ...

“If you keep asking for a warrant, we are gonna kill those dogs and call child protective services to pick up your kid.”Two Detroit residents filed a civil rights lawsuit against the Detroit Police Department Wednesday, alleging that several police officers needlessly and maliciously shot their three dogs during a marijuana raid. Kenneth Savage and Ashley Franklin say that on July 22, 2016, Detroit police raided their house and found the dogs in a back yard bounded by an eight-foot-tall fence. The officers refused to let Savage and Franklin retrieve the dogs and, instead, shot them. The reason? Officers found several potted marijuana plants in the backyard Savage and Franklin ...
Solar eclipse coming -- and it's $2,000 for grand view

(CNN) - Oregonians are set to be the first ones in the United States to witness the solar eclipse and some have paid a whopping $2,000 for a simple luxury: unobstructed views. In an auction, 30 bidders paid $500 a night instead of the standard $28 to camp at a state park in Oregon during the "Great American Eclipse" weekend. What's with all the hype? On August 21, the day will turn into night. Just like in a sci-fi movie, shadows will cover America and people will turn their heads to the sky. It's been 99 years since a total solar eclipse crossed the US from the Pacific to the Atlantic. For those wondering, and before you turn to Google, that means that the moon will ...
More Dems sign onto bill to impeach Trump

Four more House Democrats have signed on to a bill to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump after his Twitter rampage against MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski. Yahoo News reported Saturday that 25 House Democrats are now working on the bill, which has been in the works since April. The bill's primary sponsor is Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD). The bill would create a congressional "oversight" commission that could declare the president incapacitated, leading to his removal from office under the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. After Trump's tweets on Thursday, Raskin sent out an email to colleagues urging support for his bill. "In case of emergency, ...

Obama Caught In $5.9 BILLION Welfare Scandal – ARREST HIM.

(Angry Patriot) – The more information the alternative media receives about the Obama administration, the more it becomes crystal clear that our 44th president was a crook. Obama, like a lot of progressive Democrats, used the federal government to increase welfare handouts to his constituents. A new 90-page report from the Government Accountability Office has established that between thirty-five and sixty-five percent of “Obamaphone” recipients lied on their applications, via Daily Caller. The report makes it clear that this high percentage of fraud was capable because the federal government, through the Federal Communications Commission, left eligibility screening in the ...
GOP Rep BETRAYS America, Defends Violent Illegals Instead

(Angry Patriot) – Yesterday was a big day for President Trump and our country as a whole. The House voted on two BIG bills that would be the stepping stones to stopping illegal immigration to our country. Congressman Justin Amash (R-MI) was the ONLY Republican who voted down both of these bills yesterday, according to Breitbart. We are happy to report that BOTH bills made it through the House. However, it is disgusting that this Michigan congressman showed his true colors to the entire country. What Amash did is an unforgivable betrayal of our nation. The first bill, Kate’s Law, was named after a San Fransisco woman named Kate Steinle who was murdered by an illegal immigrant ...

If you were thinking of giving ANY credence whatsoever to that ridiculous Trump dossier that the media ran wild with back in December, the group behind the infamous publication wants you to know that you’re putting your faith in the wrong basket. Because if they won’t be up front and honest about who, exactly, financed their dig for dirt on the then-GOP candidate for president, then they must not want people to know just how absurdly political this witch hunt was from the beginning. Say what you will about leaks to the media and wild goose chases; if our intelligence community was relying on information like this to investigate Trump, then either the deep state rot is worse than ...

San Francisco has agreed to a $190,000 payout in a lawsuit brought by an illegal alien alleging they violated their own “sanctuary city” policies and reported him to federal immigration authorities. Pedro Figueroa-Zarceno, a 33-year old El Salvadoran in the U.S. illegally, agreed to settle his lawsuit, which he filed after someone in the San Francisco Police Department notified immigration authorities of his status in violation of the city’s sanctuary policy, according to Fox News. The settlement was reached with the city attorney’s office, but the agreement has yet to be approved by the Board of Supervisors. According to the San Francisco Examiner: The settlement ...

PARIS, July 1 (Xinhua) -- A recently released OECD report highlighted the achievements of China's structural reform, including the continued growth of per capita income, narrowed rural-urban inequality and streamlined administrative procedures. The growth of China's income per capita remains high, said the OECD Technical Report on Progress on Structural Reform Under the G20 Enhanced Structural Reform Agenda. GDP growth in the country largely followed developments in labor productivity with the employment ratio being stable at a relatively high level, said the report measuring performance of G20 structural reform as a collective.
