Rule by Brute Force: The True Nature of Government

The Rutherford Institute

The torch has been passed to a new president.

All of the imperial powers amassed by Barack Obama and George W. Bush—to kill American citizens without due process, to detain suspects indefinitely, to strip Americans of their citizenship rights, to carry out mass surveillance on Americans without probable cause, to suspend laws during wartime, to disregard laws with which he might disagree, to conduct secret wars and convene secret courts, to sanction torture, to sidestep the legislatures and courts with executive orders and signing statements, to direct the military to operate beyond the reach of the law, to act as a dictator and a tyrant, above the law and beyond any real accountability—have been inherited by Donald Trump.

Whatever kind of president Trump chooses to be, he now has the power to completely alter the landscape of this country for good or for ill.

TRUMP’S AFTERNOON COCKTAIL

Actual Hacking: Every Reporter Needs to Understand Sharyl Attkisson's Case Against the US Government

The Daily Sheeple

Sharyl Attkisson was a star investigative reporter for CBS News. After two decades at the network, she resigned on March 10, 2014.

Among the controversial stories she covered: the Fast and Furious gun-walking program, in which the government “purposely allowed licensed firearms dealers to sell weapons to illegal straw buyers, hoping to track the guns to Mexican drug cartel leaders and arrest them” (LA Times, 10/3/11); the Benghazi attacks and murders; the CDC fraud in grossly overestimating the number of Swine Flu cases in America.

Attkisson now hosts a weekly television news program, Full Measure, for the Sinclair Broadcast Group. She writes at sharylattkisson.com.

The snowflake generation don’t know what happened yesterday

Jane Kelly - The Conservative Woman

It seems that we are now living in the first ever Age of Untruth. This is not about bad people telling  lies and hoping to get away with it, or  even  politicians, such as the SNP lying about export figures, but a state where fibs are considered to be a perfectly acceptable substitute for truth. The king of this new way of doing things is the new American president, who began his tenure by claiming that millions of people had turned up to see him crowned, when photos clearly showed the opposite. He had to protect his ego and we had to empathize.

This is nothing to do with ‘Newspeak’, the dark Orwellian nightmare where people are force fed lies from a cruel dictator. For the liberal Left it’s all about populism which says never mind the facts let’s get on with destroying the ruling elite, i.e. them. The new fibocracy is happily accepted by a gullible public. Porkie pies have always been popular entertainment. The difference now is surely the number of people, after years of free state education, who are unable to distinguish fact from fiction whether it’s conspiracy theories or presidential pique.

Is the CIA Responsible for Creating the EU?

Armstrong Economics



The new conspiracy theory running around claims that the European Union was a CIA project. This serious distortion misses the entire point. It is very true that the idea of the EU was supported by the United States since World War II including the CIA. However, the U.S. supported the idea of the EU as a trade union that could support NATO during the Cold War. However, the idea of federalizing Europe came, not from the United States, but from France. It was de Gaulle who blocked Britain from joining the EU because he wanted France to dominate Europe. It was de Gaulle who broke Bretton Woods by buying up dollars and redeeming them for gold to make France the economic power of Europe. Britain was only allowed to join the EU upon de Gaulle’s death.

GREAT! International Survey Reveals 85% of the World Lives Under Political Corruption

The Daily Sheeple

by Isaac Davis

There is nowhere to run from and nowhere to hide from corrupt government. Planet earth is infested with those who abuse the power of government.

A recently released report by Transparency International (TI) measured people’s perceptions of government corruption in 176 nations, confirming what most of us seem to already know: the vast majority of people around the world live with government corruption as a normal feature of everyday life.

Corruption, as defined by TI, is:
