1,000-year-old onion and garlic eye remedy kills MRSA

• From the sectionNottingham

An eye salve from Anglo-Saxon manuscript Bald's Leechbook was found to kill MRSA

A 1,000-year-old treatment for eye infections could hold the key to killing antibiotic-resistant superbugs, experts have said.

Scientists recreated a 9th Century Anglo-Saxon remedy using onion, garlic and part of a cow's stomach.

They were "astonished" to find it almost completely wiped out methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, otherwise known as MRSA.

Their findings will be presented at a national microbiology conference.

The remedy was found in Bald's Leechbook - an old English manuscript containing instructions on various treatments held in the British Library.

Anglo-Saxon expert Dr Christina Lee, from the University of Nottingham, translated the recipe for an "eye salve", which includes garlic, onion or leeks, wine and cow bile.

Experts from the university's microbiology team recreated the remedy and then tested it on large cultures of MRSA.

Analysis

Tom Feilden, science editor Today Programme

The leechbook is one of the earliest examples of what might loosely be called a medical textbook

It seems Anglo-Saxon physicians may actually have practised something pretty close to the modern scientific method, with its emphasis on observation and experimentation.

Bald's Leechbook could hold some important lessons for our modern day battle with anti-microbial resistance.

In each case, they tested the individual ingredients against the bacteria, as well as the remedy and a control solution.

They found the remedy killed up to 90% of MRSA bacteria and believe it is the effect of the recipe rather than one single ingredient.

Dr Freya Harrison said the team thought the eye salve might show a "small amount of antibiotic activity".

"But we were absolutely blown away by just how effective the combination of ingredients was," she said.

Dr Lee said there are many similar medieval books with treatments for what appear to be bacterial infections.

She said this could suggest people were carrying out detailed scientific studies centuries before bacteria were discovered.

The team's findings will be presented at the Annual Conference of the Society for General Microbiology, in Birmingham.

Equal amounts of garlic and another allium (onion or leek), finely chopped and crushed in a mortar for two minutes.

Add 25ml (0.87 fl oz) of English wine - taken from a historic vineyard near Glastonbury.

Dissolve bovine salts in distilled water, add and then keep chilled for nine days at 4C.

The Media is Distracting You from the Crimes of DC Politicians

By Tim Brown / 31 March 2015

Sometimes you have to wonder, since we have twenty-four hour news networks, why are they not having investigative reporters digging into the crimes of the current administration? Why do they always find ways to divert attention from where it is needed most? After all, part of the design of the press is to keep government responsible before the people, right?

The Sons of Liberty radio show host Bradlee Dean dealt with this issue at the end of last week. One of the article posted to a conservative outlet was titled, "How to make the most of your alumni network for your job search."

"Are they telling you what's going on in your country?" Dean asked rhetorically. "No, because they don't want you to be awake to what's going on. Because if you actually rise up and respond to their lies and their crimes, guess what? It's all over for them, and, of course, they don't want you to know that."

Dean then went on to elaborate on some of the current things that are taking place in Washington. Among those things is a House Bill that seeks to abolish the Patriot Act, which could rightly be called "The Act of Tyranny." It was passed at 3 in the morning and has done nothing but violate the Constitution and the rights of the citizens of the United States. Those rights that you have, that the federal government sought to take from you via the Patriot Act were protected for you by hundreds of thousands of men who fought, bled and died to do so.

And why did they do it? So they could steal power from you! Read the Constitution. There are a few enumerated powers granted to the federal government. The rest are kept for the states or the people, period. So, when the federal government usurps powers not granted to it, they are stealing from you and me, plain and simple.

One of those powers that is stolen is the Transportation Security Administration, the TSA. They are a "pretended authority." They are not listed among the authorities granted to the federal government by the people of the united States, just like all the other alphabet agencies, including the ATF.

"While your being violated by your government, this government's dropping the border on the southern borders and the northern borders to let illegals in," Dean said.

Understand that when the orchestrated illegal alien invasion took place last year, the TSA was at the helm of flying illegals across country on US airplanes without any identification. But tell me America, what do you have to do before you get on a plane in America? Have your rights, which are supposed to be protected under the Fourth Amendment violated? You betcha!

But the media doesn't want you to know these things.

Section 215 of the Patriot Act Expires in June

Section 215 of the Patriot Act Expires in June. Is Congress Ready?

Nadia Kayyali

You may have heard that the Patriot Act is set to expire soon. That’s not quite the case. The Patriot Act was a large bill, as were the reauthorizations that followed in 2005 and 2006. Not all of it sunsets. But three provisions do expire on June 1st: Section 215, the "Lone Wolf provision," and the "roving wiretap" provision.

   All of these sections are concerning, but Section 215 takes the cake. It’s the authority that the NSA, with the FBI’s help, has interpreted to allow the U.S. government to vacuum up the call records of millions of innocent people. It’s also been the focus of most of the NSA reform efforts in Congress over the last year and a half. But if there were ever a time to reform the NSA, it’s now—because a vote for reauthorization, without comprehensive reform of NSA spying, will very clearly be a vote against the Constitution.


NSA Spying is Not a Partisan Issue, and it Must be Dealt With


There have been many legislative efforts to reform the NSA over the last year and a half. But none of them have been successful. Most recently, in December, the Senate failed to move the USA FREEDOM Act forward for a final vote.
What lawmakers said about USA FREEDOM, and what they are saying now, gives us some idea of where we’re headed over the next few months.
One of the most notable “no” votes on USA FREEDOM came from Sen. Rand Paul, who objected to the fact that the bill extended the sunset of Section 215 by two years. Sen. Paul has been a vocal critic of the Patriot Act and NSA spying, and has made it clear that he will vote against reauthorization. The question now is whether he and other Republican critics will be able to push for genuine reform—something essential in a Congress that is now majority Republican in both houses.
And that’s where things get troublesome. The cloture vote on USA FREEDOM was a preview for the kind of anti-reform rhetoric we can expect to hear over the next few months. Some civil liberties advocates thought the bill didn’t go far enough—but the lawmakers who voted against it mostly thought it went too far.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell proclaimed on the Senate floor that “now is not the time to be considering legislation that takes away the exact tools we need to combat ISIL.” Similarly, Sen. Marco Rubio—who is now on record as stating that he thinks Section 215 should never expire— stated “the world is as dangerous as ever, and extremists are being cultivated and recruited right here at home. This legislation would significantly weaken and, in some cases, entirely do away with some of the most important counter-terrorism capabilities at our disposal, which is why I will not support it."
The rhetoric isn't confined to the Senate floor. After a man was arrested for allegedly plotting a D.C. shooting spree, Speaker of the House John Boehner claimed that “we would have never known about this had it not been for the FISA program and our ability to collect information on people who pose an imminent threat,” even though the criminal complaint against the arrestee states that it was a government informant that supplied information about his plans.


Why The Focus on Section 215


Section 215 is an obvious target for reform. As the pro-NSA rhetoric reaches a fever pitch, it’s important to remember that we have little to no evidence that bulk collection of telephone call records under Section 215 has ever stopped a terrorist attack.
In fact, even the administration agrees—it’s not necessary. The White House admitted that the government can accomplish its goals without bulk telephone records collection. What’s more, the President’s Review Board said “the information contributed to terrorist investigations by the use of section 215 telephony meta-data was not essential to preventing attacks.” And the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board could not identify one time when bulk collection under Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act “made a concrete difference in the outcome of a counterterrorism investigation.” Similarly, an in-depth analysis of 225 cases of people charged with terrorism found that “the contribution of NSA’s bulk surveillance programs to these cases was minimal.”
If that weren’t enough, Senators with access to classified information have also argued that the program is unnecessary. In an amicus brief in EFF’s case First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles v. NSA, Sens. Ron Wyden, Mark Udall, and Martin Heinrich stated that, while the administration has claimed that bulk collection is necessary to prevent terrorism, they “have reviewed the bulk-collection program extensively, and none of the claims appears to hold up to scrutiny.”
What’s more, claims that collection of call records is not “that big” of an invasion of privacy are simply untrue. As we point out in our amicus brief in Klayman v. Obama, “The call records collected by the government are not just metadata—they are intimate portraits of the lives of millions of Americans.”  In one short-term study of a small sample of call detail information, researchers at Stanford were able to identify one plausible inference of a subject obtaining an abortion; one subject with a heart condition; one with multiple sclerosis; and the owner of a specific brand of firearm.
In fact, former director of the NSA and CIA Michael Hayden recently admitted: “We kill people based on metadata.”  And former NSA General Counsel Stu Baker said: “metadata absolutely tells you everything about somebody’s life. If you have enough metadata, you don’t really need content.”
Of course, voting against reauthorization isn’t the ultimate goal when it comes to reforming NSA spying. Congress needs to address myriad problems—perhaps the reason Section 215 isn’t essential is because it is such a small part of the NSA’s huge repertoire.


What Real Reform Looks Like


Congress needs to pass comprehensive reform. EFF has continued to call for legislation that would:

• End untargeted, bulk collection;
• End illegal, warrantless "backdoor" searches of Americans' communications collected under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act;
• Provide Americans a clear path to assert legal standing to sue the government for privacy abuses;
• Reform the FISA Court by making significant opinions public and putting a special advocate for privacy in the court;
• Shorten the FISA Amendments Act sunset;
• Enhance the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board powers;
• Ban the NSA from undermining commonly used encryption standards;
• Strengthen privacy protections for innocent people inside and outside of the United States; and
• Fix the broken “classified information” system.

A no vote on Section 215—or even the prospect of a no vote over the coming months—would force the NSA’s defenders to take reform seriously.


What’s Next?


Even though the Section 215 vote is many months away, it’s important to let Congress know what we’re expecting—a no vote on reauthorization, or any other legislation that allows suspicionless surveillance of millions of innocent people. In the meantime, as new legislation emerges, EFF will fight to ensure that all bad bills die, and push hard for any good bills to advance.

University Officials in Florida authorize Pro-ISIS Club!!!!

Barry University Officials in Florida authorize Pro-ISIS Club: "JUST CHANGE THE NAME"!!

University and college campuses are critical weapons in the left’s arsenal to destroy America. It’s not just the obvious horror of ISIS or CAIR or the MSA being welcome on college campuses. It’s that voices who oppose their savagery and carnage are banned. My colleagues and I are rarely invited to speak, and when we are, the blowback is deafening, even violent. Ayaan Hirsi Ali was uninvited from Brandeis, if you recall. It’s not just terror groups and hate preachers welcomed on US college campuses; Jewish students are routinely harassed and bullied on campus by Muslims and their leftist lapdogs.

Following a similar shocking video at Cornell University released by James O’Keefe last week, Barry University officials in Florida also sanction a pro-ISIS club with the stated goal of sending material support to ISIS. The only suggestion by Barry officials was to change the name of the club “because technically our country is at war with ISIS.”

ALERT!!! Reports From Military Insiders Indicate The US Government Is Going To War Against It's People

There Is Nothing False About This Flag, Troops Movements, Foreign Soldiers And Reports From Military Insiders Indicate The US Government Is Going To War Against It's People

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

A large number of events have occurred over the last few years, all steps leading toward the complete takeover of America.

We have seen veterans attacked and demonized, religious groups labeled as extremists, conservatives, constitutionalists, survivalists all declared a greater threat than the terror group ISIS, our sovereignty handed over to the UN, foreign troops training on American soil, NATO vehicles brought in to the US, and more recently, military exercises geared toward "uncoventional warefare," to be practiced in America while treating "gun-friendly" states as "hostile terrority."

That and much more will be shown with source links below.

AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY

First and foremost is American sovereignty to which in September 2013 the Obama administration signed on and supported a controversial U.N. treaty on arms regulation to which Senator Jim Inhofe was quoted as saying "The administration is wasting precious time trying to sign away our laws to the global community and unelected U.N. bureaucrats."

Under the guise of "protecting" the global community, the Obama administration is willing to sign away America's Second Amendment rights and hand the UN the right to invade US in order to disarm gun-owners.

The treaty covers battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, large-caliber artillery systems, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, missiles and missile launchers, and small arms and light weapons.   -    Emphasis mine.

In June 2014, Activist Post ran across a very disturbing UN help wanted ad, stating "These positions are located in field missions of Peace Operations. The DDR Officer typically reports to the head of a work unit or to a senior official responsible for DDR operations in a field location, though this may vary depending on the mission structure. The focus of these jobs is to lead the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of DDR programmes, operations and other related activities in the country or region concerned."

According to that report there was no other reference to a "country or region concerned" other than the "duty station" in New York which is also the location of U.N. headquarters.

For those unaware of what  DDR stands for, it is clearly stated in the UN header shown below.



FOREIGN TROOPS ON US SOIL

Along with countless eyewitness reports of encounters with foreign troops in America, it was reported in 2013 that for the "first time in history" the Obama administration "invited Chinese troops to train with our military on U.S. Soil,"  just weeks after Chinese state run media reported that China had nuclear submarines capable of wide spread attacks against the US.

In August 2013 it was reported that 15,000 Russian troops were requested by the Obama administration for a “training” exercise on US soil to "assist FEMA" during emergencies and disasters. That followed May 2012 news of Russian troops carrying out "joint anti-terrorism drills in America, with Huffington Post stating it marked the "fist time Russians have trained on US soil."

It is noteworthy that both China and Russia are permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to which the Obama administration signed away America's sovereignty to, meaning the UN could request both Chinese and Russian troops invade the US in order to disarm gun owners, using the "small arms and light weapons" language which is part of the UN treaty on arms regulations, shown above.UN ARMORED VEHICLES ON US SOIL

For the last five years we have seen countless videos taken by concerned citizens of UN armored vehicles being transported all across America, video after video uploaded and distributed across the Internet, with many asking if they are simply manufactured in America, but no official word where these UN armored vehicles are coming from or where they are being delivered.

One such example is shown below this article, but anyone can go to the YouTube search page and see the vast amount of proof that they are here.



There are also eyewitness reports, without images or videos, stating that they saw military vehicles flying a NATO flag as recent as March 2015. Below is an email forwarded to ANP:

Wanted to let you know what my boyfriend, his brother and I saw Sunday 3/21/15. Coming south on hwy 71 from Cleveland back to Loveland, Ohio we saw going northbound on 71 approximately 45 camo and military type vehicles..on one of them a Nato flag was flying..the others had nothing to show what they were..unnerved me..thought i'd let you know

In addition to multiple reports of encounters with foreign military in the US, a 2013 eyewitness report with photos states "I recently received a report being distributed by a "Sherrie Questioning All" of Tennessee. (Full name removed at her request.) She had taken photographs of DHS armored vehicles being delivered from Kentucky to Tennessee. What makes this interesting is that the drivers were not AMERICAN military, but rather FOREIGN military troops driving these vehicles." It continues on to say "When American people spoke to these foreign drivers, they detected they were either Russian or Eastern European/Slavic in background."

TURNING US CITIZENS INTO "THE ENEMY"

In a recent ANP article titled "The Endgame Is Here! America Surrenders Militarily While Preparing For War Against US Citizens," we went over how the Obama administration has purged hundreds of military commanders, weakened and dismantled out US Military while Russia, China and others are strengthening theirs. Included in that report was a section labeled "US GOV'T PREPARES FOR WAR ON IT'S OWN CITIZENS," where we noted that while defense spending has been decreased, DHS funding has been increased while recent actions on the part of the Obama administration and associated federal government agencies has turned US citizens into the enemy.
Via that report:

DHS has labeled "right wing extremists" a greater threat than the terror organization titled ISIS, who behead journalists and aid workers, kill Christians across the global, burned a Jordanian pilot in a cage, then filmed it all and released the videos to the public. In 2013 it was reported that Army training material listed Evangelical Christians, Catholics and some Jews as "religious extremists," alongside "the Ku Klux Klan, Hamas and al-Qaeda."

Perhaps one of the most disturbing, visual examples of the type of "targets" our militarized police are being trained to take out, comes from 2013 reports, where it was revealed that law enforcement  agencies were using actual targets that represented the threat.... of "pregnant women," and "children."

Images of those "targets" are provided in the article linked above.

Which brings us to the present day where news of the military training exercise set to take place, named "Jade Helm," actually lists US states as hostile as our military trains in "unconventional warfare" against Americans. While the US military is pushing back hard, calling those very concerned about this type of exercise "conspiracy theorists, former military experts are calling this "unprecedented and dangerous."

CONCLUSION

Whether it is an economic collapse, a natural disaster or any other scenario which could cause nationwide chaos, the steps outlined above been taken in a carefully orchestrated manner, incrementally as to appear as separate individual events, but which creates the perfect conditions of a UN takeover of America, nullifying the US Constitution and pulling the US into a "one world government" subject to global laws rather than American laws. Those that would stand up against that, fight for American sovereignty, have already been labeled "the enemy."

ET Species A-Z Listing compiled from many sources.

There are just over 10,000,000 worlds in this universe with similar humanities to our own, this is but a few races who are or have been involved with our life wave for some reason.

ARCTURIANS

Arcturus is one of the most advanced extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy. It is a fifth dimensional civilization which, in reality, is like a prototype for Earth’s future.

Its energy works with humanity as an emotional mental and spiritual healer. It is also an energy gateway through which humans pass during death and rebirth. It functions as a way station for nonphysical consciousness to become accustomed to physicality.

The book, "The Keys of Enoch" has described it as the mid-way station or programming center used by the physical brotherhoods in our local universe, to govern the many rounds of experiments with physicals on our end of the galaxy. Their total focus in every aspect of their society to the path of God realization.

The Arcturians teach that the most fundamental ingredient for living in the fifth dimension is love. They teach that negativity, fear and guilt must be overcome and be exchanged for love and light.

Arcturus is the brightest star in the Bootes constellation (click image right), which is approximately 36 light years from earth. The Arcturians work in very close connection with the Ascended Masters whom they refer to as the brotherhood of the all. They also work very closely with what they refer to as The Galactic Command.

The Arcturians travel the universe in their starships, which are some of the most advanced in the entire universe. One of the reasons that Earth has not been attacked by more warlike negative extraterrestrials has been these civilizations’ fear of these advanced starships of the Arcturians. These ships are the cutting edge state of the art technology. One of the starships circling the earth is called the Starship Athena, named after one of the Greek Gods.

The Arcturian society is governed by what they call the elders.

These beings are revered by the people of Arcturus for the advanced knowledge, wisdom, and extremely high vibrational frequencies. The higher the vibrational frequency, the closer one is to light, or spirit or God. The Arcturians are very short in physical stature, about three to four feet tall. They are also very slender. They also all look very much alike in appearance. The Arcturians pride themselves in this because this erases the pettiness of comparison of looks which is so predominant in our society.

The Arcturians are the most loving and non-judgmental beings you can possibly imagine.

Their skin is a greenish color.

They have very large almond shaped eyes.

They only have three fingers.

They have the ability to move objects with their minds, and are totally telepathic.

The source of food is an effervescent type of liquid that is highly vitalizing to their entire being.

Their eyes are a dark brown or black color.

Their main source of seeing is actually through their telepathic nature, not their physical eyes.

Their sense of hearing even transcends their telepathic nature.

They also have an ability to sense with the back of their heads.

The average life span is from 350 to 400 of our earth years.

Their highly developed spiritual nature has allowed them to never age, since they have the ability to transcend time and space.

They terminate the life when the contract that has been arranged for their existence is up.

There is also no sickness on Arcturus, it was eliminated centuries ago.

AGHARIANS

or Aghartians

A group of Asiatic or Nordic humans who, sources claim, discovered a vast system of caverns below the region of the Gobi desert and surrounding areas thousands of years ago, and have since established a thriving kingdom within, one which has been interacting with other-planetary systems up until current times.

Vast cavern systems below Tibet allegedly link the Agharti systems of central Asia to "Snakeworld", a multileveled cavern system under the southwestern slopes of the Himalayas where the "Nagas" dwell, according to Hindu legend.

Here a serpent cult of human and reptilian collaborators dwells, one which is said to have had contact with the Nazi Thule society during World War II.

Long ago an Asian prince is said to have led several militant followers - warrior monks - into the caves and came in conflict with this serpent cult.

Following the conflict the reptilians and collaborating forces were driven out, however in recent centuries they have regained some ground.

ALPHA-DRACONIANS

Reptilian beings who are said to have established colonies in Alpha Draconis (Thuban) - click image right. Like all reptilians, these claim to have originated on Terra thousands of years ago, a fact that they use to ’justify’ their attempt to re-take the earth for their own.

They are apparently a major part of a planned ’invasion’ which is eventually turning from covert infiltration mode to overt invasion mode as the "window of opportunity" (the time span before International human society becomes an interplanetary and interstellar power) slowly begins to close.

They are attempting to keep the "window" open by suppressing advanced technology from the masses, which would lead to eventual Terran colonization of other planets by Earth and an eventual solution to the population, pollution, food and other environmental problems.

Being that Terrans have an inbred "warrior" instinct the Draconians DO NOT want them/us to attain interstellar capabilities and therefore become a threat to their imperialistic agendas (Draconian).

Amendment by consent: Our government counts on public indifference to its spying and lying

Newsletter:

Here is a short pop quiz.

When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress earlier this month about the parameters of the secret negotiations between the United States and Iran over nuclear weapons and economic sanctions, how did he know what the negotiators were considering?Israel is not a party to those negotiations, yet the prime minister presented them in detail.

When Hillary Clinton learned that a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives had subpoenaed her emails as secretary of state and she promptly destroyed half of them -- about 33,000 -- how did she know she could get away with it? Destruction of evidence, particularly government records, constitutes the crime of obstruction of justice.
If you knew the feds were virtually present in your bedroom or your automobile, and your representatives in Congress did nothing about it, would you buy the nonsense that you should have nothing to hide?

When Gen. Michael Hayden, the director of both the CIA and the NSA in the George W. Bush administration and the architect of the government’s massive suspicionless spying program, was recently publicly challenged to deny that the feds have the ability to turn on your computer, cellphone or mobile device in your home and elsewhere, and use your own devices to spy on you, why did he remain silent? The audience at the venue where he was challenged rationally concluded that his silence was his consent.

And when two judges were recently confronted with transcripts of conversations between known drug dealers -- transcripts obtained without search warrants -- and they asked the police who obtained them to explain their sources, how is it that the cops could refuse to answer? The government has the same obligation to tell the truth in a courtroom as any litigant, and in a criminal case, the government must establish that its acquisition of all of its evidence was lawful.

The common themes here are government spying and lawlessness. We now know that the Israelis spied on Secretary of State John Kerry, and so Netanyahu knew of what he spoke. We know that the Clintons believe there is a set of laws for them and another for the rest of us, and so Mrs. Clinton could credibly believe that her deception and destruction would go unpunished.

We know that the NSA can listen to all we say if we are near enough to a device it can turn on. (Quick: How close are you as you read this to an electronic device that the NSA can access and use as a listening device?) And we also know that the feds gave secret roadside listening devices to about 50 local police departments, which acquired them generally without the public consent of elected officials in return for oaths not to reveal the source of the hardware. It came from the secret budget of the CIA, which is prohibited by law from spying in the U.S.

What’s going on here?

What’s going on here is government’s fixation on spying and lying. Think about it: The Israeli Mossad was spying on Kerry while the CIA was spying on the Mossad. Hillary Clinton thought she could destroy her emails just because she is Hillary Clinton, yet she forgot that the administration of which she was an integral part dispatched the NSA to spy on everyone, including her. And though it might not voluntarily release the emails she thought she destroyed, the NSA surely has them. The police have no hesitation about engaging in the same warrantless surveillance as the feds. And when Hayden revealed a cat-like smile on his face when challenged about the feds in our bedrooms, and the 10,000 folks in the audience did not reveal outrage, you know that government spying is so endemic today that it is almost the new normal.

Yet, government spying is not normal to the Constitution. Its essence -- government fishing nets, the indiscriminate deployment of government resources to see what they can bring in, government interference with personal privacy without suspicion or probable cause -- was rejected by the Framers and remains expressly rejected by the Fourth Amendment today.

For our liberty to survive in this fearful post-9/11 world, the government’s lawless behavior must be rejected not just by the words of dead people, but by the deeds of we the living. When the president violates the Constitution and the Congress and courts do nothing to stop him, we have effectively amended the Constitution with a wink and a nod -- by consent, if you will. Its guarantees of liberty are only guarantees if the people in whose hands we repose it for safekeeping honor them as guarantees and believe and behave as such because the Constitution means what it says.

Where is the outrage? If you knew the feds were virtually present in your bedroom or your automobile, and your representatives in Congress did nothing about it, would you buy the nonsense that you should have nothing to hide? Would you send those weaklings back to Congress? Or would you say to a lawless government, as the Founders did to the British, "Thou shalt not enter here"? Does the Constitution mean what it says in bad times as well as in good times?

These are not academic questions. They address the most important issue of our day. For nothing will destroy our personal liberties more effectively than the government refusing to honor them and Americans sheepishly accepting that. And without freedom, what are we?

MSNBC: ..Relaxed Gun Laws Put Police Lives In Danger....(pardon me while I upchuck)

Breitbart – by AWR Hawkins

On March 28, MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry suggested the push away from gun control and toward expanded gun rights–which means more armed, law-abiding citizens–actually puts police lives in danger.

Harris-Perry read a summary from a recent Department of Justice report on police activity in Chicago and New York City. She then specifically focused on Philadelphia police, whom the report claims “averaged about one shooting a week from 2007 to 2013.” She said that during this time period “the percentage of unarmed suspects shot by the police increased from 6 percent to 20 percent.”

Harris-Perry then paused and asked, “Is is possible that our lack of national, common sense gun control laws leads to a situation where it is more dangerous to be a police officer and so police officers begin acting in ways that they expect everyone to be armed?”

In other words, instead of adopting the gun control measures pushed and rejected on the federal level in 2013, we are now seeing a push to repeal gun control and expand concealed carry and could it be that these things make police feel that their lives are in danger?

What Harris-Perry failed to note is that Chicago and New York City–two of the prime focuses of the DOJ report–are not cities with a high rate of concealed carry permits. Moreover, New York City is in a state where the SAFE Act mandates the very gun control measures rejected on the federal level in 2013. But gun control does not impact criminals and criminals are the ones who endanger the lives of police officers.

Police are not getting into shootouts with the father who takes his son out to dinner on the way to a Boy Scout meeting, nor are they in a shootout with the mom who keeps a Glock 42 in her purse to protect her daughter en route to dance class. Rather, they are getting into shootouts with criminals and suspected criminals who do not even read, much less follow, the gun control laws of a given state.

John Jay College’s Jon Shane alluded to these things when answered Harris-Perry’s questions by pointing out the need for “context.” He told her guns are not a new thing, that they have always been part of American society and “always will, and have always been a factor that’s trained on in policing tactics.”

And because he made his point successfully, Harris-Perry shifted the conversation away from how more law-abiding citizens with guns put police lives in danger and focused instead on how police are racially biased.

She said: “I guess part of what I will say is my concern that because of racial stereotyping that creates implicit bias, that for officers who are making a judgement call about whether they are in fear, that an African-American male body can be perceived as more dangerous than it actually, empirically is.”

It's only PRACTICE rape (More on Jade Helm)

Try to imagine: the local street gang has announced they plan to practice raping your teenage daughters this weekend. They're not going to actually rape them, mind you. This is just going to be a practice run.

Before you start wondering when I became so sick and twisted, humor me for just a few more moments. Shouldn't you be asking yourself what the street gang might be practicing for? Could it possibly be that they are practicing now so they can maximize the trauma when they've decided they've had enough practice? Logic dictates that you only practice the things you plan to execute later.

Which brings me to JADE HELM 15, which is the Army's plan to practice controlling and restraining the general public. Why would the Army practice controlling the public unless they have every intention of doing so "for real"?

I have procrastinated in writing this newsletter because I didn't want to do a sloppy job on an issue that is so very, very dangerous. There are many patriots who are already getting prepared for an all out civil war, which is exactly what it will be if American civilians are forced to take up arms to protect themselves from the very government entrusted with protecting their life, Liberty, and property.

Jade Helm is scheduled to take place between July 15th and September 15th this summer. It is "is a challenging eight-week joint military and interagency (IA) Unconventional Warfare (UW) exercise conducted throughout Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado." One thing the military planners have right is showing Texas as "hostile" territory. Why do you think the Don't Mess with Texas bumper stickers are still so popular, decades after the anti-litter campaign was discontinued? I'm not sure if it's possible in the three months left before their "Realistic Military Training" is scheduled to begin, but I hope we can convince the military that Texas is SO hostile to the idea, that they cancel this training all together.

I don't expect you to be convinced just yet. Please glance at this document allegedly from the US Army - Special Operations Command office. It is only a dozen pages, and has very large font. The Army has yet to confirm or deny that the document is official. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to get the general idea. Then I'd like you to watch this short video that shows Congressman John Heller of Pennsylvania not telling us about the funding for HR-8791, the Homeland Terrorism Preparedness Bill. (This would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous to our Liberty.)

The Army admits that they have faced a lot of resistance to this exercise, and they allege that "alarmists" like me are over reacting to this ordinary military exercise. Articles at Army Times and Stars and Stripes both "pooh pooh" the idea that Jade Helm is anything the general public should be concerned about. Both articles seem to suggest that because the USASOC document doesn't give details about who or why civilians would be detained, then of course we shouldn't worry about it. Everyone knows the government would never lie to us. [Sorry. Sarcasm overload.]

So what can we do to avoid a violent confrontation with members of our own military forces? The USASOC document claims it "seeks a written invitation and approval from local officials". We must contact our local officials and vociferously demand that they revoke any permission they may have already granted. This is no time to pussy-foot around. Be clear. Be concise. Make sure they understand that our demands are not negotiable.

The Texas cities that will be involved in this exercise are Bastrop/Smithville, Big Springs, Caddo Lake, Caldwell, Christoval, College Station, Dell City, Eldorado, Goliad, Junction, Leakey, Menard, Mountain Home, San Angelo, San Antonio, and Victoria. I've created a webpage with contact information for local officials involved. Please distribute that link to your patriotic friends. If their phone continues to ring off the hook, perhaps we can convince the military that they have underestimated our Texas passion for freedom. Please leave comments after the newsletter article letting me know who you contacted, and what their response was.

Prepared to Defend the Alamo again, if necessary,
