The Census and Despotism

Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. LewRockwell.com Posted February 8, 2010 Written March 27, 2000 “There went out a decree from Caesar Augustus,” says St. Luke on why Mary and Joseph found themselves in Bethlehem, “that all the world should be taxed.” Joseph had to go to his own city because the tyrannical Roman government was conducting a census. But the information may have been used for more than just taxation. The Roman government’s local ruler later decided he wanted to find the Christ child and kill Him. Did the government make use of census data to find out where the ...

Newborns’ DNA Routinely Harvested For Government Bio Banks

Genes are considered the property of big brother Steve Watson Infowars.net Monday, Feb 8th, 2010 The government is harvesting samples of DNA from every newborn child in the country, storing them in monolithic bio banks and providing them to outside researchers and other agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, all without the consent or knowledge of parents. It sounds like the stuff of dystopian nightmare, and it is, but it is also reality. At Infowars we have been tracking and reporting the story for years, now it has hit the headlines once again this week with ...

Think Government Is Corrupt? You May Face 10 Years In Jail

Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Monday, February 8, 2010 Subversives who think government is corrupt and should be controlled by the people face 10 years in prison and a $25,000 dollar fine if they fail to register with authorities in South Carolina, in another chilling example of how free speech and dissent is being criminalized in America.

Huckabee “Absolutely” Backs Drive to Bomb Iran

Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com February 8, 2010 Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate and now the darling who plays guitar on Fox News, wants to engage in mass murder. Is Mike Huckabee really a psychopath or is he simply sucking up to the neocons? “The U.S. should support an Israeli military strike against Iranian nuclear installations if the Jewish state, fearing diplomacy has failed, ultimately takes that course of action, stated former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee,” reports WorldNetDaily. Asked whether the U.S. should support an Israeli strike, Huckabee replied, “Absolutely.” “We’ve got to ...

Canada Moves One Step Closer to Outlawing Natural Health Products

Tom Blackwell National Post February 8, 2010 National Post The National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) says pharmacists cannot be assured the products are safe until they are granted a government licence Makers of natural-health products say they are bracing for widespread layoffs and millions of dollars in losses after Canada's pharmacy regulators issued a surprise directive recently urging druggists to stop selling unlicensed natural remedies. The order affects thousands of herbal treatments, multi-vitamins and other products, most of them waiting for approval from Health Canada under a backlogged, five-year-old program to regulate natural-health goods. The National Association ...

Recession chugs on, except in government

Washington Examiner February 8, 2010 White House apologists were quick to point to the unemployment rate decline from 10 percent to 9.7 percent as evidence that the recovery is gathering momentum and that President Obama's policies -- especially his $787 billion economic stimulus bill Congress approved last February -- are "working." But the back story behind the figures provides cold comfort. First, the drop to 9.7 percent unemployment does not reflect the creation of new jobs that normally accompanies an economic recovery. The number of new jobs is actually declining. Total nonfarm payroll employment, for example, dipped ...

Audi’s Eco Fascism Ads

Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com February 8, 2010 Incandescent light bulbs, plastic bags, orange peels, Styrofoam coffee cups, Jacuzzi hot tubs — these are crimes against the environment, according to automaker Audi. On Sunday, during the Super Bowl gladiatorial event, Audi ran a series of ads depicting an eco Gestapo cracking down on citizens engaged in serious crimes against the environment. One of the ads depicts a police checkpoint where the Fourth Amendment is wantonly violated. In the recent past, such illegal checkpoints were used to find drunk drivers. In Al Gore’s Brave New World, they will be used to ...

Frightening Taste Of Internet Censorship As Major Free Speech Websites Blocked

Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Monday, February 8, 2010 With influential proponents recently calling for a newly regulated world wide web, we got a preview of how that might look this past weekend after both Infowars.com and Prison Planet.com were completely blocked to many Internet users in New Zealand. The block was only removed early this morning following a raft of complaints after both websites were unavailable on many ISP’s since Friday. As the New Zealand based InfoNews website reported yesterday, both of Alex Jones’ flagship websites were blocked by ISPs using Asia Netcom for their international internet ...

The Dark Brotherhood of the Takers

J. Speer-Williams Infowars.com February 8, 2010 Ethel Barrymore (1879-1959) was perhaps the most accomplished actress of her generation. It was Ms. Barrymore who said, “You grow up the day you have the first real laugh – at yourself.” The first step in changing our government begins by changing ourselves; which may begin by fully realizing most republican and democratic mouth-pieces are united in the dark Brotherhood of the Takers. Do you remember your first real laugh at yourself? Mine came when I was about 30.5 years old. You see, I belong to the “Late Bloomer” generation. Anyway, my proof ...

Intelligence Community Sets Precedent for Exterminating U.S. Citizens

SkyWatch Canada Infowars.com February 8, 2010 In the spring of 2009 the Department of Homeland Security published their Domestic Extremism Lexicon. This document expanded the scope of the DHS mission from hunting islamic suicide bombers an mass murderers to targeting American Anti-Abortionists, Tax Protesters, Constitutionalists and any other enemy of the state. This in itself was shocking enough but when combined with DHS’s Project Endgame is clear that the policy of the Department of Homeland Security is to round up illegal immigrants and “potential terrorists” / domestic extremists and lock them up in detention camps built ...

A Note of Appreciation from the Rich

Spywitnessnews.org Feb 8, 2010 Let's be honest: you'll never win the lottery. On the other hand, the chances are pretty good that you'll slave away at some miserable job the rest of your life. That's because you were in all likelihood born into the wrong social class. Let's face it — you're a member of the working caste. Sorry! As a result, you don't have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us. In fact, you'd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we ...

Internet Censorship: Major Truth-Providing Websites Blocked By Asia Netcom To New Zealand Users

Clare Swinney infonews.co.nz Sunday, February 7th, 2010 Has Chinese-style internet censorship arrived in New Zealand this year? The question is posed because two major news websites, Infowars.com and Prisonplanet.com, both of which are run by documentary maker and radio show host Alex Jones, who is renowned for exposing the truths the mainstream media attempts to conceal, were found to be have been selectively blocked on Friday evening and were still unavailable at the time of writing.

Will Obama Opt for War on Iran?

Stephen Sniegoski Infowars.com February 7, 2010 Two articles, one by anti-war conservative commentator Patrick Buchanan and the other by neoconservative Daniel Pipes, deal with the issue of Obama moving toward war on Iran for political reasons. In “Will Obama Play the War Card?,” Patrick Buchanan points out that this option is certainly a political temptation for Obama especially since Congress is pushing him in that direction. Buchanan cites Congress’ effort to impose very stiff sanctions on refined petroleum exports to Iran as a move toward war. [On January 28, 2010, the U.S. Senate passed by voice vote the ...

Super Bowl Sunday: Scientifically Crafted Mass Mental Illness

Infowars.com February 7, 2010 As the Roman Empire drew to a close, the poet and satirist Juvenal wrote about an infantilized populace that had surrendered its birthright of political involvement. “Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties,” he wrote, “for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.” The Latin phrase panem et circenses is often translated as “bread and games.” In America, circa ...

U.S. soldier ‘waterboarded his own daughter, 4, because she couldn’t recite alphabet’

Mail Online February 7, 2010 A U.S. soldier has been accused of 'waterboarding' his four-year-old daughter because she couldn't recite the alphabet. Joshua Tabor admitted to police that he used the CIA torture technique because he was so angry. As his daughter 'squirmed' to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face - upwards - three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline. Tabor, 27, admitted to investigators that his daughter was terrified of water and he had deliberately chosen the punishment. Human rights activists demonstrate waterboarding in front of the Justice Department. A ...

Beginning Of The End: Sarah Palin Hijacks The Tea Party Movement

A.C. Kleinheider The Nashville Post February 7, 2010 The tea party movement is dead. The one I was familiar with anyway. Judson Phillips held it down and Sarah Palin drove a stake right through its heart live last night on C-Span in front of an unsuspecting audience. Sarah Palin didn’t give a tea party speech last night. She gave a partisan Republican address. It was a purely political speech designed to position her for a presidential run in 2012 or 2016. Period. She wasn’t there to celebrate the organic nature of a movement she had nothing to do with creating. ...

Constitutionally illiterate

Christopher Dreisbach The Baltimore Sun February 7, 2010 When even politicians are ignorant of the founding documents, our system is in trouble On Nov. 5, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the House minority leader, took the podium at a Republican rally, waved a document defiantly and declared:"This is my copy of the Constitution, and I'm going to stand here with the Founding Fathers who wrote in the Preamble, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ...

The Next Absurd Terror Ruse: Muslim Women with Exploding Breasts

Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com February 6, 2010 Joseph Farah’s WorldNetDaily continues to break important news on the New World Order, one-world government, and the North American Union. However, the news website often serves as a propaganda outlet for all manner of neocon nonsense. In order to continue the hyped Islamic terror threat, Joseph Farah and the neocons tell us Muslim women will have bombs surgically implanted in their breasts. Case in point: Farah’s G2 Bulletin, a subscription online newsletter. In the latest edition, Mr. Farah claims we should fear Muslim women because trained surgeons who hate us for our ...

The mandatory assessment - being drafted into law by the federal and state governments - will rate homes by an energy efficiency star system, similar to the ratings given to fridges and washing machines.

Ken Lewis: If I’m Going Down, Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke Are Coming Down With Me

Daily Intel February 6, 2010 Editor’s note: Mr. Lewis may experience a heart attack or one of those overnight cases of terminal cancer. No WAY is Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis going to be the only one to answer for the acquisition of crappy Merrill Lynch and its crappy bonuses, "a person close to Lewis's defense team" (who may or may not be Ken Lewis himself) tells Charlie Gasparino today on the Daily Beast. NO WAY will he be a scapegoat, alone, for the people who twisted his arm to go through with the Merrill deal ...

Oklahoma Law Makes Home Fortification Illegal

Tulsa Beacon February 5, 2010 Editor’s note: The law also makes it illegal to fortify your home against criminals and home invaders as well. Oklahoma has a new law that makes it a crime to “fortify” a citizen’s home against possible entry by law enforcement. State Rep.

It Is Now Mathematically Impossible To Pay Off The U.S. National Debt

The Economic Collapse February 4, 2010 A lot of people are very upset about the rapidly increasing U.S. national debt these days and they are demanding a solution. What they don't realize is that there simply is not a solution under the current U.S. financial system. It is now mathematically impossible for the U.S. government to pay off the U.S. national debt. You see, the truth is that the U.S. government now owes more dollars than actually exist. If the U.S. government went out today and took every single penny from every single American bank, business and ...

Next in Line for a Bailout: Social Security

Allan Sloan CNN Money February 4, 2010 Don't look now. But even as the bank bailout is winding down, another huge bailout is starting, this time for the Social Security system. A report from the Congressional Budget Office shows that for the first time in 25 years, Social Security is taking in less in taxes than it is spending on benefits. Instead of helping to finance the rest of the government, as it has done for decades, our nation's biggest social program needs help from the Treasury to keep benefit checks from bouncing -- in other words, a taxpayer ...
