Why Did The U.S. Launch A Nuclear Missile That Would Be Visible From L.A. Without Any Warning?

Trident Nuclear Missile Over Southern CaliforniaWas the U.S. government trying to send a message to someone on Saturday night?  Just after sunset, an unarmed Trident II nuclear missile was fired from a ballistic missile submarine just off the coast of southern California that was later identified as the USS Kentucky.  It was the absolutely perfect time to attract the attention of millions of people living in the Los Angeles area.  If it had been fired during the day, the missile would have been far less visible.  If it had been fired in the middle of the night, most residents of southern California would have been asleep.  Those that planned the firing of this nuclear missile knew that it would be seen by hundreds of thousands of people and that it would make headlines all over the planet.  So why was this done?

In Detroit, Heroin Is Being Sold Directly In Front Of Public Schools While Kids Wait For Their Buses

Cass Tech High School - Photo by Mike RussellHow would you feel if you found out that heroin was being sold in broad daylight in front of the school that your child was attending?  Well, that is precisely what is happening up in Detroit.  When one of my readers told me that heroin was being sold directly in front of the high school in Detroit that he graduated from, I could hardly believe it.  But as you are about to see, it is true.  Hidden cameras have captured footage of heroin deals going down directly in front of Cass Tech High School in Detroit while kids were waiting for their buses.  We are starting to see more and more of this kind of thing all over the nation.  What makes this even more tragic is that a major investigation has discovered that the U.S. government has actually been allowing the largest drug cartel in Mexico to import their drugs into this country in exchange for “information”.  So that means that government officials have been selling out our kids just to get some “intelligence” on other cartels.  And it is also common knowledge that some of the biggest banks in the world have been systematically laundering money for the drug lords.  This is why we can’t win “the war on drugs” – the U.S. government and the big banks are often working for the other side.

The U.S. Border: A Constitution-Free Zone Where Officials Can Grab Your Computer And Copy Your Hard Drive

CustomsDid you know that the U.S. government considers the U.S. border to be a “constitution-free zone”?  Did you know that customs officials can take your computer away from you, keep it for 30 days or more, and make a copy of everything that is on your hard drive?  Sadly, this is actually true.  According to the government, when you choose to cross the U.S. border you temporarily give up your constitutional rights.  They can look at anything on your computer that they want to, and if they find anything that violates any law, they can use it against you in court.  You may think twice about taking your computer out of the country after you read the rest of this article.

The U.S. Government Is Monitoring All Phone Calls, All Emails And All Internet Activity

The U.S. Government Is Monitoring All Phone Calls, All Emails And All Internet ActivityBig Brother is watching everything that you do on the Internet and listening to everything that you say on your phone.  Every single day in America, the U.S. government intercepts and stores nearly 2 billion emails, phone calls and other forms of electronic communication.  Former NSA employees have come forward and have described exactly what is taking place, and this surveillance activity has been reported on by prominent news organizations such as the Washington Post, Fox News and CNN, but nobody really seems to get too upset about it.  Either most Americans are not aware of what is really going on or they have just accepted it as part of modern life.  But where will this end?  Do we really want to live in a dystopian “Big Brother society” where the government literally reads every single thing that we write and listens to every single thing that we say?  Is that what the future of America is going to look like?  If so, what do you think our founding fathers would have said about that?

60 Completely Outrageous Ways The U.S. Government Is Wasting Money

60 Completely Outrageous Ways The U.S. Government Is Wasting Money - Photo by Little Mountain 5Is there anyone better at wasting money then the U.S. government?  Despite the sequester and all of the talk about “deep cutbacks”, the federal government continues to waste money in some of the most outrageous ways imaginable.  For example, does the U.S. government really have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to study the size and shape of the reproductive organs of ducks?  Does the U.S. government really have to spend 1.5 million dollars to study why so many lesbians are overweight?  There is so much waste that could still be cut out of the federal budget, and yet the very small sequester cuts that just happened are being described as “catastrophic” by many of our politicians.  But you know what?  The federal government will still spend more money in fiscal year 2013 than it did in fiscal year 2012 even after the sequester cuts are factored in.  So if this is how much whining our politicians will do even though government spending is still going up, what would they do if we were actually forced to start living within our means at some point?  That is something to think about.  In any event, please show this article to anyone that believes that the U.S. government is actually “tightening the belt”.  Sadly, the truth is that the federal government is still wasting our money in some of the most frivolous ways that you could possibly imagine.
