As we wind down to the 2012 elections, it is important that citizens have as much information as possible about those people for whom they will be voting. Therefore, we will begin posting information about individual candidates.
We will do our best to provide information that is outside the Main Stream Media — you can find that on your own. We do not say that we will give equal time to the candidates. Our purpose is to provide information that you can use in vetting a candidate. How much is provided for each candidate will depend on what we decide is informative and interesting.
We’re not in the “fair and balanced” mode – we will ”throw it all out there and let the chips fall where they may.” Candidates is a tough category because feelings run high either for or against — if you don’t like a post, be an adult and just move on. That’s what free speech is all about. And, of course, you are welcome to post a comment — just keep it civil.
We do not and will not ENDORSE candidates — that’s your job. May God bless this country and give us the wisdom to choose moral and wise leaders.
On Feb. 20, a NATO-Afghan security team at the Parwan Detention Center — adjacent to the U.S.-run Bagram Air Field, north of Kabul — began destroying files, books and documents from the detention facility library. The printed material was being burned because it contained handwritten coded messages being passed among Taliban and al-Qaida detainees. Afghan security personnel retrieved charred pages from several copies of the Quran and other Islamic holy texts. The following day, angry crowds rioted outside NATO installations in Kabul and elsewhere around Afghanistan.
On Feb. 23, White House spokesman Jay Carney announced that President Barack Obama, America’s apologist-in-chief, had written a penitent letter to Afghan President Hamid Karzai in which Obama pledged to “take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible.” Karzai responded by insisting that the American soldiers responsible for this act be put on public trial and punished. It’s been downhill in Afghanistan ever since. Read More…

As you will see detailed later on in this article, the most shocking part of this report is when it discusses the “ideological motivations” of potential terrorists. The report shamelessly attempts to portray red-blooded Americans that love liberty and that love their country as the enemy. Once upon a time, deeply patriotic Americans were considered to be the backbone of America, but today they are considered to be potential terrorists.
Do you love America? Are you against a one world economy and a one world government? Do you deeply love individual liberty? Do you believe in conspiracy theories? If you answered any of those questions affirmatively, then you are a potential terrorist according to a brand new Department of Homeland Security report that was just released in January 2012. More…

I’ve gotten to the point where I cringe whenever I hear the word ‘war’. Even when it’s used to seemingly combat something noble sounding such as the war on poverty or the war on hunger. It’s become apparent that all wars cause damage no matter if it’s a figurative war or an actual war. It’s also obvious that when a war is declared on a social problem, the State is announcing a power grab which is going to result in less freedom. Read More…
Britain, America and France delivered a pointed signal to Iran, sending six warships led by a 100,000 ton aircraft carrier through the highly sensitive waters of the Strait of Hormuz.

President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on Saturday, but not without expressing his objections to the funding bill’s provisions on the treatment of suspected terrorists, including U.S. citizens.
Obama expressed “serious reservations” about the bill but argued in a signing statement released Saturday that it does not fundamentally change executive power.
The administration does not intend to interpret one provision as granting the military authority to detain Americans indefinitely, Obama said in the statement. It also opposes sections of the bill that block the transfer of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to U.S. soil for any purpose and that restrict the government’s ability to transfer detainees to other countries.
But… It was his administration that insisted that the language be included in the bill.
From the video: Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) told Congress recently that under the original wording of the National Defense Authorization Act, American citizens were excluded from the provision that allowed for detention. Once Obama’s officials saw the text though, says Levin, “the administration asked us to remove the language which says that US citizens and lawful residents would not be subject to this section.”
Specifically, the section that Obama asked to be reworded was Section 1031 of the NDAA FY2012, which says that “any person who has committed a belligerent act” could be held indefinitely. Hat Tip Maria
