US nearly detonated atomic bomb over North Carolina – secret document

London Guardian
September 21, 2013
A secret document, published in declassified form for the first time by the Guardian today, reveals that the US Air Force came dramatically close to detonating an atom bomb over North Carolina that would have been 260 times more powerful than the device that devastated Hiroshima.
The document, obtained by the investigative journalist Eric Schlosser under the Freedom of Information Act, gives the first conclusive evidence that the US was narrowly spared a disaster of monumental proportions when two Mark 39 hydrogen bombs were accidentally dropped over Goldsboro, North Carolina on 23 January 1961. The bombs fell to earth after a B-52 bomber broke up in mid-air, and one of the devices behaved precisely as a nuclear weapon was designed to behave in warfare: its parachute opened, its trigger mechanisms engaged, and only one low-voltage switch prevented untold carnage.
Each bomb carried a payload of 4 megatons – the equivalent of 4 million tons of TNT explosive. Had the device detonated, lethal fallout could have been deposited over Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and as far north as New York city – putting millions of lives at risk.
Though there has been persistent speculation about how narrow the Goldsboro escape was, the US government has repeatedly publicly denied that its nuclear arsenal has ever put Americans’ lives in jeopardy through safety flaws. But in the newly-published document, a senior engineer in the Sandia national laboratories responsible for the mechanical safety of nuclear weapons concludes that “one simple, dynamo-technology, low voltage switch stood between the United Statesand a major catastrophe”.

Homeland Security to test BOSS facial recognition at junior hockey game

Biometricupdate.com
September 21, 2013

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security will test its crowd-scanning facial recognition system, known as the Biometric Optical Surveillance System, or BOSS, at a junior hockey game this weekend.
With assistance from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, DHS will test its system at a Western Hockey League game in Washington state. The test will determine whether the system can distinguish the faces of 20 volunteers out of a crowd of nearly 6,000 hockey fans, to evaluate how successfully BOSS can locate a person of interest.
BOSS technology consists of two cameras capable of taking stereoscopic images of a face and a back end remote matching system. Stereoscopic images are two images of the same object, taken at slightly different angles that create an illusion of three-dimensional depth from two-dimensional images.
The cameras transfer the pair of images to the remote matching system by way of fiber optic or wireless technology. The system then processes and stores the two images into a 3-D signature, which is the mathematical representation of the stereo-pair images that the system uses for matching.
Using the BOSS facial recognition algorithms, the signature is matched against a locally stored database created from volunteers, using a combination of mathematical and statistical analysis.
BOSS is capable of capturing images of an individual at 50-100 meters in distance. The system can capture images of subjects participating from a specific distance, or be set up in a way that tracks and passively captures frontal face images of an individual as he/she moves in front of the camera.
As reported previously in BiometricUpdate.com, a $5.2 million contract for BOSS was awarded to Electronic Warfare Associates, a U.S. military contractor.
Recently the system was not deemed ready since it could not achieve 80 to 90 percent identification accuracy at a distance of 100 meters and could not process and identify images in less than 30 seconds against a biometric database.
This weekend’s test will attempt to rectify this deficiency.  If the test succeeds, the technology conceivably could be used at international crossings and other ports across the United States patrolled by the department.

Here is an excellent presentation by Dr. Coffman, a Research Scientist with over 30 years of research background whereupon he discovered the truth about "Global Warming", and the Elites' Plans behind this hoax.

This video contains extensive research and will open your eyes to the real agenda behind the false "global warming" scare being pushed by the United Nations and many governments and organizations around the world, including the U.S.

I believe this presentation took place sometime in late 2010.


OBAMA MOVES TO LIMIT POWER-PLANT CARBON POLLUTION

Associated Press
September 20, 2013

Matheny's Note: Obama is still pushing this UN agenda even after many have proven that global warming is a sham, and new evidence leans more toward Global Cooling if anything. research  Agenda 21 here


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Linking global warming to public health, disease and extreme weather, the Obama administration pressed ahead Friday with tough requirements to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, despite protests from industry and Republicans that it would dim coal's future.

The proposal, which would set the first national limits on heat-trapping pollution from future power plants, is intended to help reshape where Americans get electricity, moving from a coal-dependent past into a future fired by cleaner sources of energy. It's also a key step in President Barack Obama's global warming plans, because it would put in motion proposals to end what he called "the limitless dumping of carbon pollution" from all power plants.

Under the law once the Environmental Protection Agency controls carbon at new plants, it will also control carbon at existing plants - a regulation the agency said Friday it would start work on immediately to meet a June 2014 deadline.

This is another move by the Catholic Church to destroy the truth of the Bible's Doctrines given by the Almighty, Handed down through Apostolic succession from Messiah and his disciples. The Jesuit Society of Jesus, founded by Ignatius De Loyola is bent on destroying Protestantism and setting up the Catholic faith as THE UNIVERSAL RELIGION under a New World Order. There is plenty of evidence to support this......

Home Depot Dumps 20,000 Employees Onto ObamaCare Exchanges

The New American
September 20, 2013

Home Depot Dumps 20,000 Employees Onto ObamaCare Exchanges
Add The Home Depot to the list of companies dumping part-time employees onto ObamaCare’s insurance exchanges — and taxpayers’ backs. According to the Daily Caller, the Georgia-based retailer announced that it is dropping health coverage for approximately 20,000 part-timers as a direct result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

“Unfortunately, the ACA precludes us from offering the limited liability medical plan we’ve been offering the part-time associates,” Home Depot’s director of corporate communications, Stephen Holmes, told the conservative website.

Like many other companies, Home Depot currently offers a low-cost health plan with limited benefits to its part-time employees. Such plans, however, are prohibited under ObamaCare, which requires employers to offer unlimited coverage with numerous mandated benefits and shoulder most of the cost of that coverage. In addition, the ACA requires employers to offer such coverage to all employees working at least 30 hours per week. Thus, the law simultaneously bans plans that both employers and employees could afford and forces employers to cover more people at a higher cost, giving them a great incentive to cover only those employees they absolutely must.

Those Americans who lose employer-based coverage are not permitted simply to go without insurance, however. The ACA mandates that individuals who do not have coverage through their employers purchase it on a government-run insurance exchange, which “requires people to buy insurance for a government-designed set of health-care services, including services promoted by corporate lobbies,” notes the Daily Caller. “The insurance packages can be more expensive than sought by workers, especially younger workers, but the extra costs are partially offset by subsidies from other taxpayers.”

With Home Depot’s announcement, taxpayers will now be burdened with subsidizing coverage for an additional 20,000 or so people. (The company declined to state an exact figure.) This is on top of the thousands of others being dumped onto the exchanges by employers such as Wegmans supermarkets and Universal Studios Orlando. Other companies, such as Walmart, are refusing to cover new part-time workers, while still others are restricting employees’ hours to avoid having to cover them at great expense. These individuals, too, will be seeking out subsidized coverage next year.

2nd Amendment Supporter Thrown Out of N.J. Meeting By Police After Criticizing Gun Control

MrConservative
September 19, 2013

Do you remember how, at least once a week during the Bush Administration, you’d hear some Progressive holler about the importance of “speaking truth to power?” They’d speak truth to power at massive rallies, where no one stopped them from speaking; they’d speak truth to power at university functions where they stole the microphone from (and sometimes assaulted) conservative speakers; they’d speak truth to power on TV, and in the movies, and in political meetings, and just about everywhere else they could think of. They were the free, the brave, and the Progressive squawking madly at conservatives who sat politely and listened.

It’s bit different, though, in Obama’s America. On April 30, 2013, gun rights supporter James Kaleda made the mistake of speaking truth to power at a New Jersey state senate meeting regarding the state’s plans to enact several gun-grabbing pieces of legislation. Rather than being applauded by the Leftists in attendance for bravely speaker truth to power, Committee Chair Senator Donald Norcross (Dem., of course) ordered New Jersey State Troopers to throw him out.

Navy Yard: Swat team 'stood down' at mass shooting scene

BBC News
September 18, 2013

Investigators continue to work the scene at the Navy Yard two days after a gunman killed 12 people on 16 September 2013 On Wednesday, investigators continued to process the scene
One of the first teams of heavily armed police to respond to Monday's shooting in Washington DC was ordered to stand down by superiors, the BBC can reveal.
A tactical response team of the Capitol Police, a force that guards the US Capitol complex, was told to leave the scene by a supervisor instead of aiding municipal officers.
The Capitol Police department has launched a review into the matter.
Aaron Alexis, 34, killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard.
"I don't think it's a far stretch to say that some lives may have been saved if we were allowed to intervene," a Capitol Police source familiar with the incident told the BBC.

Defiant Assad claims government did not use chem weapons, vows to abide by agreement

Fox News
September 19, 2013

Syrian President Bashar Assad, in an exclusive interview with Fox News, claimed he is fully committed to carrying out a plan to turn over and destroy his government's chemical weapons -- while continuing to deny responsibility for last month's deadly chemical weapons attack despite new evidence that officials say implicates the Assad regime. 
Assad acknowledged that his government has chemical weapons. "It's not a secret anymore," he said, referencing his government's decision to join the international Chemical Weapons Convention. 
Assad also said that the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack, in which more than 1,000 people reportedly died, was a violation of international law. "That's self-evident," he said. "This is despicable. It's a crime." 
Yet Assad adamantly denied that his government was behind the attack, continuing to push the theory that the opposition was behind the strike. 
"We have evidence that terrorist groups (have) used sarin gas," he said. "The whole story (that the Syrian government used them) doesn't even hold together. ... We didn't use any chemical weapons."

A road to unsustainable debt: CBO reports that US is on unsustainable budget course as spending exceeds revenues.

MyNudget360
September 17, 2013

A recent CBO report came out with a rather sobering outlook of our governmental spending habits.  The word “unsustainable” is probably not something you want uttered in a report about meeting a budget.  Yet that has been our recent trajectory when it comes to spending.  The massive financial crisis and subsequent bailouts have resulted in a titled economy favoring a small group of people.  The same engine that led us into this problem is still humming along and the too big to fail have now become the way too big to fail banks.  So unsustainability is the spine fueling the current recovery.  Debt upon debt only works until you reach tipping points.  US households hit that point a few years ago as the housing bubble imploded.  To think that this path of acquiring debt upon debt to pay for expenditures is sustainable is going to cause deeper instability into an already shaky system.
CBO report
The CBO report of course has some dramatic changes occurring in the near term:
Debt Projections
What is interesting is pre-crisis, Federal Debt held by the public was under 40 percent.  Today it is at 80 percent and keep in mind this is much higher since other parties like foreign nations are now a larger owner of this debt (i.e., China).  The path forward is not going to be easy.  Yet the need to spend more is only going to accelerate with an aging population that is simply unprepared to face the financial challenges of retirement.
In the next decade we are going to see some major growth in where our spending goes to:
components of debt
Costs like net interest, Social Security, and Medicare are going to consume a larger percentage of our spending.  This is why our total public debt outstanding is enormous and is going to hit another debt ceiling in only a few weeks.
Debt to the Penny
Total public debt outstanding is now above $16.73 trillion:
debt to penny
By the way, the latest GDP figure is around $16.6 trillion so we now owe more money than we produce in one year.  Is this problematic?  It was for households when they reached this level.
Households already reached unsustainable levels
U.S. Households seemed to reach a tipping point when their debt levels reached 100% of total annual GDP:
household debt gdp
This actually makes sense on a very practical level.  People were simply spending more than they were bringing in.  Beyond that, many were spending money they didn’t even have by going into debt via mortgages, credit cards, auto loans, and the young through student debt.  At a certain point, even servicing the debt was problematic.
The CBO report is sobering because it comes from the government itself.  And you know this is a conservative estimate.  Keep in mind these are rosy assumptions based on the current bull stock market and what appears to be an investor spurred boom in real estate.  How sustainable are those trends?
Consumption as share of GDP
Consumption is still a large part of GDP:
consumption as share of gdp
As we have noted, household incomes in the US have not kept up in the last decade.  Over 50 percent of income went to the top 10 percent in 2012, the biggest gap in income disparity ever recorded for the US.
People need to keep spending to keep consumption going.  If income is going to a smaller group, the economy is going to have a smaller group of people to depend on.  There are only so many yachts you can purchase.  A robust middle class is the backbone of a strong overall economy.  The CBO report simply ties in with other unsustainable paths we are following.  Do not be surprised when another financial crisis hits because as the report noted, this is simply unsustainable.  And by definition, something that is unsustainable at some point will need to reverse and correct.

Obama: Con Man Or Madman?

Personal Liberty Digest
September 19, 2013



I keep asking: Why Syria? Why now? No war in America history has ever been opposed by 71 percent of the citizens or by 75 percent of the military. That’s how absurd and unnecessary this war is. Then you realize Barack Obama has so many scandals and failures to hide that war is the perfect cover story to mask the most disastrous record in modern Presidential history. Obama is a desperate man. He has to cover up the truth.
We have a con man in the White House.
The sad thing is it’s working. The media headlines should be about the massive Internal Revenue Service scandal ordered by the Obama Administration and aimed at Tea Parties, Obama critics and GOP donors. Because it’s no longer in the headlines (because of Syria hogging the media spotlight), no one is mentioning that the IRS attacks on conservative leaders and groups is the worst political persecution in modern political history. It was a witch hunt conducted by big-government employees upon conservatives who stand for smaller government. It was an attempt to end free speech. And it was a massive fraud to change the outcome of the 2012 Presidential election. Obama’s re-election is one big fraud. But Obama has used Syria to push the IRS scandal out of the headlines.
We have a con man in the White House.
The media headlines should be about the National Security Agency scandal aimed at violating the civil rights and invading the privacy of every American citizen. But with Syria hogging the media spotlight, we have all forgotten that Obama listens to every phone call, watches every email. Big Brother rules our lives. If a Republican were in the White House, this massive violation of our civil liberties would be the No. 1 news story in the Nation. But with Syria in the headlines, we don’t hear a word about the NSA scandal anymore.
We have a con man in the White House.
The media headlines should be about Benghazi, Libya. Not only should everyone be asking why four American heroes died (including the first U.S. ambassador killed in more than 30 years), but why? Were they killed with weapons supplied by the Obama Administration to al-Qaida rebels? Why weren’t Obama and Hillary Clinton forced to resign in disgrace for the worst (and most obvious) cover-up in modern Presidential history?
Like the IRS scandal, the Benghazi scandal changed the outcome of the 2012 Presidential election. Would Obama have been re-elected had the public known there was no “spontaneous demonstration” outside our embassy that day and that the weapons used to attack our embassy were supplied by our own CIA, upon orders of Obama? Would Obama have been re-elected had Americans known that there was time to save those brave heroes defending our embassy, but Obama and Clinton refused to send a rescue team — multiple times. Fraud was committed to re-elect Obama. But with Syria in the headlines, no one is mentioning Benghazi anymore.
We have a con man in the White House.
The media headlines should be about Obamacare — a fast-moving train wreck about to destroy the entire U.S. economy. It’s so bad that Congressmen exempted themselves a month ago. It’s so bad that union leaders met with Obama at the White House to demand they all be exempted or that Obamacare be repealed. Yes, unions are asking for the repeal of Obamacare, the signature achievement of the man they elected President. Shouldn’t this story be in the headlines?
It’s so bad the head of the IRS testified in front of Congress that he didn’t want Obamacare, and he’s in charge of enforcing it. It’s so bad that the telemarketing company Obama hired to promote Obamacare employs part-time workers so they don’t have to offer health insurance to employees. It’s so bad that fast-food chains are “sharing” employees so no one works more than 29 hours, thereby avoiding Obamacare requirements.
And what about the questions? Obamacare demands doctors by law ask every patient about their sexual histories. Then that information will be turned over to government. Big Brother will use this information to control our lives. Conservative politicians will be blackmailed into supporting big government or forced to resign, as their personal information is leaked by Obama. How about women? Where are the women’s groups protesting in the streets? Where are the headlines? Oh, right. Syria is in the headlines.
We have a con man in the White House.
The media headlines should be about this part-time economy created by Obamacare. The numbers are sickening. The whole country is being reduced to nothing but crummy, crappy, part-time jobs. Since January, 77 percent of all jobs created in America under Obama have been part-time jobs.
Not surprisingly, in a Nation with only crummy part-time jobs, the income picture is degenerating into a nightmare. Real household income has dropped in every year of Obama’s Presidency. A new Census Bureau report reveals that the typical American family, under Obama, now earns less today than it did in 1989.
How about the numbers living in poverty under Obama? An unimaginable 46.5 million Americans now live in poverty under Obama — twice as many as the population of Syria. Maybe it’s America that needs saving, not Syria?
There are more Americans on food stamps (23.1 million) than the population of the entire Northeast United States (20 million), including New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
But with a possible war in Syria in the headlines, no one is noticing all these scandals, all this bad news, a crumbling economy and a collapsing middle class. Obama has clearly wrecked America for generations to come.
We either have a con man in the White House or a madman.

The Liberal Media's Top 10 Worst Anti-Gun Moments of the Year

Media Research Center
September 19, 2013


In the immediate aftermath of the Navy Yard shooting the liberal media reflexively began their push for more gun control. NBC’s Matt Lauer, on Tuesday’s Today show pressed an outspoken chief medical officer that treated some of the wounded: “You say you didn’t want to wade into the issue of gun control and yet your comments are resonating with people...but we also heard emotional comments after Newtown and Aurora, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Are you worried that your comments will be soon forgotten, as it seems some of those other comments have been forgotten?”

Lauer’s plea to the doctor represents how desperate the liberal media has been to keep the gun control issue alive, even in the face of recent political losses like the defeat of Barack Obama’s gun control legislation in Congress and the recall of anti-gun state legislators in Colorado.

Ever since the tragic Newtown school shooting the media anti-gun crusade. On the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks reporters slanted their initial post-Newtown stories against gun rights by an 8 to 1 margin and on the cable networks the gun rights supporters were demonized by the likes of CNN’s Piers Morgan and MSNBC’s Chris Matthews.

The following is a video compilation of The Liberal Media’s Top 10 Worst Anti-Gun Moments of the Year:

10. Senators Against Expanded Gun Control Have Blood On Their Hands



Panelist Donny Deutsch: “I want to go back to these Senators. Unfortunately, the next time a crazy, or somebody who would have not gotten a gun from a background check, kills somebody, I want to know what their response is going to be, because they literally have blood on their hands....They have blood on their hands. It’s that simple. There’s no gray, no abstract here. It is literally the dots are that connected.”
Co-host Mika Brzezinski: “I agree. I agree completely....This country — I mean, it’s being led by a bunch of buffoons, I have to tell you.”
— MSNBC’s Morning Joe, May 3.

9. Taking on “the Gun Lobby” Like “Defeating the Nazis”




“Surely, finding Osama bin Laden; surely passing civil rights legislation, as Lyndon Johnson was able to do; and before that, surely, defeating the Nazis, was a much more formidable task than taking on the gun lobby. This is a turning point in this country....Unless we figure out a way to make sure that something like Newtown never happens again, we’re not the country that we once were.”
— CBS’s Bob Schieffer during live coverage of Obama’s gun control speech, Jan. 16.

8. PBS Host Wants to “Throw Up” Over Gun Bill Failure



“You’re telling me on April 15, 2013, a few months after Newtown, it is possible, it is conceivable that this year might end without an assault weapons ban and without legislation that guarantees background checks?...That makes me want to throw up, but I can’t do that on national television, so I’ll keep it in until I get off camera in three minutes.”
— Host Tavis Smiley to socialist Senator Bernie Sanders on PBS’s Tavis Smiley, April 15.

7. Not About Individual Liberty, Just Corporate Greed



“Can we just break through the B.S. here? This is not, for the NRA, about Second Amendment rights....This is about gun manufacturers making millions and millions and millions of dollars. This is about retailers making millions and millions and millions of dollars. Do you know how much money these people have made over the slaughter of 20 innocents in Newtown? Do you know how much richer these rich gun manufacturers have gotten over the past month, and how the NRA uses that tragedy to gin up fears, and Web sites use that tragedy to gin up fears, that they’re coming to take your guns away?”
— Co-host Joe Scarborough on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, January 11.

6. Piers Morgan Sneers At Pro-Gun Guest Citing Constitution; ‘You Brandish Your Little Book’




Host Piers Morgan: “The way that the NRA through the ’80s and ’90s and this last decade have deliberately tried to frame this as a left-wing attack on the American Constitution and the Second Amendment — it’s exactly what you’ve tried to do. You come in, you brandish your little book [holds up book] as if I don’t know what’s in that-”
Author Ben Shapiro: “My little book? That’s the Constitution of the United States.”
— Exchange on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, January 10.

5. You’re Either With Obama, or With the Killers




“I personally don’t want to be part of a movement to keep those semi-automatics flying into the hands of all sorts of people as they are today, the hoarders, the survivalists, the paranoid, the criminal and downright politically nutty. Why? Because the next mass shooter could well emerge out of this pack. Check the shooters of John F. Kennedy and Jerry Ford, who got shot at twice. Look at the men that shot Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and George Wallace. They all had political motives and they all had guns. Got them easy and put them easily to use. And if you’re not against this movement, you’re with it.”
— Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball, February 27.

4. Piers Morgan Savages “Unbelievably Stupid” Gun Rights Advocate



 

Gun Owners of America executive director Larry Pratt: “I honestly don’t understand why you would rather have people be victims of a crime than be able to defend themselves. It’s incomprehensible.”
CNN host Piers Morgan: “You’re an unbelievably stupid man, aren’t you?...You have absolutely no coherent argument whatsoever....You don’t give a damn, do you, about the gun murder rate in America?...I know why sales of these weapons have been soaring in the last few days. It’s down to idiots like you. Mr. Pratt.... You are a dangerous man espousing dangerous nonsense. And you shame your country.
— From the imported British host’s anti-gun tirade on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, December 18, 2012.

3. Doesn’t the NRA Really Want More Mass Shootings?



“NRA membership booms in these moments. Gun sales boom in these moments. Bushmaster [rifle] sales are booming. In the wake of the Gabby Giffords shooting, Glocks boomed. So in a perverse way — they would never admit this publicly — but in a perverse way, these moments are actually good for them. So then, how do we expect them to really not want these moments?”
— Co-host Touré on MSNBC’s The Cycle, December 20, 2012.

2. Bashir Smears: NRA Is the Real Hitler in Gun Debate




“As the gun lobby has armed its barricades since that horrific shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, one of the arguments that they continue to use against any kind of regulation is to unashamedly invoke the name of Adolf Hitler. Supporters of the NRA say that history proves tyrannical leaders begin by robbing law-abiding citizens of their firearms....Of course, for a nation hell bent on genocide, Hitler did not allow the Jews to possess firearms, but virtually everyone else was free to do so. Which I guess turns this story on its head. Because if anyone deserves to be equated with Hitler on the issue of firearms, then it’s not the President, it’s the NRA.”
— MSNBC’s Martin Bashir, January 14.

1. Soledad O’Brien to Gun Rights Activist: ‘Your Position Completely Boggles Me’



“You said it’s time to get rid of gun laws, like the takeaway for you from this massacre at an elementary school is it’s time to get rid of gun laws. How does that possibly make sense to you?...How you can say that people should have fewer laws, and not more, I think is — it just boggles the mind, honestly, and if you were to come here and talk to the people in this town [of Newtown], they’d be stunned by you....I appreciate you talking with me this morning, but I just — I have to say, your position — your position completely boggles me, honestly. I just do not understand it.”
— Anchor Soledad O’Brien to economist and author John Lott on CNN’s Starting Point, December 17, 2012.

Democratic Lawmaker Expresses Disdain For Anyone Who Likes Guns, Bibles

Personal Liberty Digest
September 19, 2013

Liking firearms and the 2nd Amendment protections which allow you to own them makes you a supporter of mass murder, according to Representative Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.).
Cohen, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said during a recent MSNBCappearance that he was not surprised by the September 16th mass shooting at the Washington Naval Yard. He said the tragic event resulted directly from a lack of action on gun-control legislation following the shootings in Newtown, Conn.
“It’s no Newtown. People are almost inured to it, because they’ve seen what happened in the Senate, and seen the votes can’t be cobbled together,” he said of the impact the most recent shooting had on members of the House.
Cohen went on to insult any of his colleagues who support the 2nd Amendment.
“And in the House, on the Judiciary Committee, which I sit on, that’s Murderers’ Row; that’s Foxx, Gehrig and Ruth. They all like their guns,” he said.
Cohen added, “I think their guns are next there to their Bibles. I’m not sure which they find more important to them.”
With regard to Republicans, he concluded, “I think guns trump Bibles on that side of the aisle.”

Obama: 'Raising the Debt Ceiling...Does Not Increase Our Debt,' -Though It Has 'Over 100 Times'

CNS News
September 19, 2013

Raising the debt ceiling doesn't increase the nation's debt, Pres. Obama declared in a speech today.
In a speech at the Business Roundtable headquarters in Washington, D.C., Obama dismissed concerns about raising the debt ceiling by noting that it'd been done so many times in the past:
"Now, this debt ceiling -- I just want to remind people in case you haven't been keeping up -- raising the debt ceiling, which has been done over a hundred times, does not increase our debt; it does not somehow promote profligacy.  All it does is it says you got to pay the bills that you've already racked up, Congress.  It's a basic function of making sure that the full faith and credit of the United States is preserved."
Obama went on to suggest that "the average person" mistakenly thinks that raising the debt ceiling means the U.S. is racking up more debt:
"It's always a tough vote because the average person thinks raising the debt ceiling must mean that we're running up our debt, so people don't like to vote on it, and, typically, there's some gamesmanship in terms of making the President's party shoulder the burden of raising the -- taking the vote."
But, isn't the fact that the U.S. has hit its debt ceiling "over a hundred times" - and, thus, has had to keep raising it - proof that raising the limit does, in fact, lead to increased debt?

Fed downgrades its outlook for US economy

Yahoo Finance
Associated Press
September 19, 2013
Ben Bernanke

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Reserve on Wednesday downgraded its outlook for the U.S. economy for 2013 and 2014. In doing so, it underscored concerns that led it to maintain the pace of its stimulus.
The Fed predicted Wednesday that the economy will grow just 2 percent to 2.3 percent this year, down from its previous forecast in June of 2.3 percent to 2.6 percent growth.
Next year's economic growth will be a barely healthy 3 percent, the Fed predicts.
Fed officials decided to continue their $85-billion-a-month bond purchase program, surprising most economists, who had expected a slight reduction. The bond purchases have been designed to keep long-term loan rates low to encourage spending.
The Fed's policymakers expect the unemployment rate to fall to 7.1 percent to 7.3 percent by the end of 2013, slightly below its June forecast of 7.2 percent to 7.3 percent. It predicts that unemployment will fall as low as 6.4 percent next year, down from 6.5 percent in its June forecast.
The unemployment rate is now 7.3 percent.
The projections showed that 12 of the 17 officials on the Fed's policymaking committee think the Fed shouldn't begin raising rates until 2015. And two think the Fed shouldn't do so until 2016, one more than in June. Three chose 2014, the same as in June.
The Fed doesn't say which policymakers made which forecast.

Another Tragedy Fueled by Mass Murder Suicide Pills

The story is a long way from coming into focus. The little we do know about Monday's tragic mass shooting at a Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. is stirring a national debate.

First, here's the back-story. It was September 16th, around 8:20 A.M. when 34 year-old Aaron Alexis opened fire inside a Navy facility. According to the FBI, he was a contract employee who had legitimate access to the Navy Yard and used a valid pass.

Alexis reportedly killed 12 people ranging in age from 46 to 73. Alexis was killed by police in a gun battle. He reportedly entered the facility with a shotgun purchased legally at a local gun shop.

This shooting is the worst at a U.S. military installation since the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas in which Major Nadal Hasan opened fire, killing 13 people and wounding 39 others. The shooting in the Ft. Hood case was religiously motivated.

WASHINGTON — For four years, President Obama counted on fellow Democrats to rally to his side in a series of epic battles with Republicans over the direction of the country. But now, deep in his fifth year in office, Mr. Obama finds himself frustrated by members of his own party weary of his leadership and increasingly willing to defy him.

Revealing Pictures From 1972 Rothschild Illuminati Ball

On 12/12/72 Marie-Hélène de Rothschild, member of the most powerful elite family in the world, held a Surrealist Ball at Château de Ferrières, one of the family’s gigantic mansions. While these events are usually extremely secretive, photographs of this particular Ball surfaced on the web. In short, it is a mix of an “Eyes Wide Shut”-style masked ball mixed with a Lady Gaga-style pop video. I’m not even kidding. Indeed, behind the fun and games, these pics reveal the underlying ideology and the mind state of the occult elite  – which is apparently also used in the countless MK/Illuminati theme music videos discussed on this site.
The invitation was written in reverse and required a mirror to be read. Inversion is a big deal in pseudo-satanic mind state.

The Château de Ferrières was lit in red to make it appear as if it was on fire. This shot is almost identical to the Summerton Estate in Eyes Wide Shut where the masked ball took place.
