I've seen the short clip posted many times, but I also know that many in our network haven't seen it yet, and I thought y'all would enjoy the full, unedited video clip, so please enjoy and feel free to post your comments, and any ideas you may have to help us stop this massive destruction of our sovereignty!

We absolutely MUST stop this from happening! Immediately! Please watch the long video. Have you heard about the food riots around the world? Our media isn't saying a thing about them! Are you aware of the fact that people have been eating mud, literally, because of the doubling of food prices, thanks to "biofuels" and the global warming hoax?

Can you imagine a world where America knows the truth and has awaken from her slumber? All of us?

Now wake up to the world where we're about to slip quietly into the night, to be enslaved, where the peaceful options are being passed by every day, and our choices narrow with every tick of the clock?

Have you done your utmost to awaken your friends? Have you hosted a party at your home to help awaken your neighbors? Will you invite them to watch this video today? How about the new movie which premiered yesterday: Not Evil Just Wrong - the true cost of warming hysteria?

Who heard what Glenn had to say about this in his radio show this morning?

What say you?

EDIT: Thanks to the comments section, I was made aware of this gem:

It looks like our current reputation is now being seen in Europe as a farce.  There are now daily cartoons and articles of ridicule being printed.  We have the worse debt, the worse leadership, the most corrupt government and bills are being signed without being read or understood or paying any attention to the world catastrophe we are causing. 

Our dollar is worth about 65 cents now and soon a new world currency will arrive on the world market and we can use what we have for toilet paper - just like what German Socialism did under Hitler. 

Here it is folks, more change you can trust!  Are we still happy?

Surviving Disaster – How To Survive A Nuclear Attack

(Analyst's note:  Absolutely ... we all need this knowledge.)

from National Terror Alert

This week on Surviving Disaster, host Cade Courtley demonstrates the steps you can take to survive a nuclear attack by terrorists on a major U.S. city.

I had the opportunity to assist in the research for this episode and while it’s incredibly difficult to capture all of the information one would need to survive such a scenario in a short/concise format, the writers and producers of Surviving Disaster did an amazing job.

A 10 kiloton nuclear device detonating in a major U.S.city is a catastrophe on a scale that few can even comprehend.

Surviving Disaster strikes an excellent balance between reality and entertainment while providing a level of detail and accuracy that few others have been able to achieve.

The full episode of Surviving Disaster – Nuclear Attack is available online this week.
Each full episode of this show is available for on week after its on-air premiere. Episodes are added immediately following their premiere date. After one full week of online availability each episode is taken down for one month. After the month has gone by the episode returns and is available for you to watch indefinitely.

Please be aware that selected full episodes and clips are only available for viewing on Spike TV’s site users located within the United States and Canada.

White House tries to muzzle media; draws back a bloody stump. Tell me again how smart these people are.

(Analyst's note:  Absolutely must read and see.  Finally people are beginning to realize that our Republic will only function with a "free press."

by Moe Lane

So this administration had what passes for a brainstorm among that group: now that they’ve made it clear that they disapprove of one particular news network, why, there would be nothing stopping them from stepping up their attempts to marginalize said network. So the White House announced today that a specific White House Press Pool access - Ken Feinberg, who is one of the myriad ‘czars’ so beloved of this administration - would explicitly exclude Fox News.  Despite the fact that the Press Pool is supported in part by Fox News.

And the media refused to play along.

This, oddly enough, has not been brought up by any of the other networks, so for right now the best source for this story is FNC (yes, savor the irony):



See Hot Air and AoSHQ for more.  In this particular case, the news bureaus decided that the White House could make Feinberg available for all five news networks, or for none of them.  Whether or not this was due to principle or pragmatism (Hot Air leans towards the latter), it was the right answer: the administration caved in short order.  Hopefully there won’t be a need for multiple lessons.  I’m forced to admit that I’m pleasantly surprised at how well the news media handled this one.  Even if they did do it solely because they don’t want the precedent set.

Moving along: AoSHQ is amazed at this administration’s priorities.  For myself, I’m reminded again of a thought that I’ve had a few times.  When you look at this administration’s performance to date, it’s like the Democratic Party went out and found themselves a caricature of everything that they complained about/hated/feared with regard to George W Bush… only this time? It’s all true.

Congress targets 'Muslim Mafia' Anti-terror caucus members officially request probe of Council on American-Islamic Relations

Sunstein urges: Abolish marriage Adviser compares institution to country club membership

(Analyst's note:  Troubling.)


By Aaron Klein

Cass Sunstein

 

The U.S. government should abolish its sanctioning of marriage, argued Cass Sunstein, President Obama's regulatory czar.

Sunstein proposed that the concept of marriage should become privatized, with the state only granting civil union contracts to couples wishing to enter into an agreement.

Sunstein explained marriage licensing is unnecessary, pointing out people stay committed to organizations like country clubs and homeowner associations without any government interference.

"Under our proposal, the word marriage would no longer appear in any laws, and marriage licenses would no longer be offered or recognized by any level of government," wrote Sunstein and co-author Richard Thaler in their 2008 book, "Nudge: Improving decisions about health, wealth and happiness."

In the book – obtained and reviewed by WND – Sunstein explains his approach would ensure that "the only legal status states would confer on couples would be a civil union, which would be a domestic partnership agreement

between any two people." ....

Massive FBI Raid on Islamic Slaughterhouse Mystifies Tiny Illinois Town

By Joseph Abrams 


At 8 a.m. Sunday the population of Kinsman, Ill., stood at 109. An hour later it nearly doubled, as upwards of 100 federal agents and police swooped in on the tiny, rural community. And no one seems to know why.

The law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, immigration officials and state police, surrounded an Islamic meat plant in Kinsman, cordoning off the area and briefly detaining the plant's handful of employees.

The FBI isn't saying much, and the county sheriff is mum too, leaving Kinsman's residents mystified. The bust, in a town that has no local police force, involved dozens of vehicles, a pair of snipers and a helicopter flying overhead, witnesses said — but it ended without even a single arrest.
"We're all baffled," Mayor Mark Harlow said. "You know, stuff like this doesn't happen in a small community."

The unusual show of force has residents spooked and has left the mayor searching for answers.
"The public reaction is ... are they safe? We don't know," Harlow said. "What are they doing? We don't know. Are they making bombs? We don't know."

Harlow said residents of the town rarely see the five or six employees of the First World Management butcher shop, which provides ritually slaughtered and processed lamb and goat meat for Muslims living in Chicago, 50 miles to the northeast.

 

Some of the workers were handcuffed during the raid, but they were eventually released, Harlow said. He said the workers are foreign-born and live in a trailer on the property behind the plant's meat locker, and they have never harmed anyone in town.

"I've never seen them do anything out of the ordinary," he told Foxnews.com. The workers' residency status is unknown.

Kinsman is a sleepy town carved out of a patchwork landscape of farms in the heart of the Grain Belt. Its few square blocks are home to a post office, church and bar, and there isn't a restaurant or gas station in sight.

But the two men listed as the proprietors of the business appear to be under scrutiny. A staff member at the First World Management office in Chicago identified Syed Hamid, 51, as an employee, and confirmed that Tahawara Hussain Rana, 48, is the owner of the business.

Residents believe Hamid lives in a house adjoining the shop in Kinsman and runs the slaughterhouse.

Hamid, a doctor, has been in talks with a Chicago lawyer, George Jackson III, who told Foxnews.com he doesn't anticipate Hamid will be charged with a crime. Jackson said he and Hamid had spoken to investigators since the raid.

Rana's case isn't so clear. Jackson said he could not comment, and phone calls to the Rana household in Chicago went unanswered.

Law enforcement officials declined to comment on whether the massive raid was connected to a series of high-profile arrests orchestrated by the FBI in recent weeks that focused on terror suspects.
"No one is in custody, no charges have been filed," said Cynthia Yates, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Chicago office. "There's not much to say."

The sheriff of Grundy County, Ill., where Kinsman is located, said he was informed of the impending raid about two weeks ago, but his officers did not play a tactical role.

"The only thing I can tell you is that it's an ongoing criminal investigation, and basically everything that's being done is through the FBI," Sheriff Terry Marketti said.

Though Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials were present at the raid, it's unclear what role they were playing. The Department of Homeland Security has recently refocused its efforts on employers who hire illegal immigrants, rather than on the immigrants themselves.

And unlike the targets of similar sweeps that were the norm in the Bush administration, the Kinsman shop employed only a handful of workers, a fraction of the size of other plants that have drawn the attention of ICE officials. Also, unlike in past immigration raids, no workers were brought into custody.

"It was crazy," said Grundy County Board Chairman Francis Halpin, who lives in nearby Morris, Ill. "I never thought I'd see anything like this in Kinsman."

Jihadist/martyrdom bombers hit aeronautical complex, restaurant in Pakistan

by Robert Spencer

As the government attempts to show that it really is using U.S. money to fight against the jihadists. "Bombs Strike Northwest Pakistan as Taliban Attacks Escalate," by Khalid Qayum for Bloomberg, October 23 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Two bombs struck northwestern Pakistan today as militants escalated near-daily attacks against security and civilian targets amid an army offensive in the nearby Taliban stronghold of South Waziristan. A suicide bomber killed seven people outside the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex in Kamra city around 7:30 a.m. as staff arrived for work, district police officer Fakhar Sultan told reporters. Two of those who died worked for the armed forces, while the rest were civilians. A second car bomb exploded near a restaurant in the nearby city of Peshawar five hours later, injuring eight people, the Edhi ambulance service said.
Pakistan's army a week ago began its biggest offensive against the Taliban and its allies in the northwestern tribal region of South Waziristan bordering Afghanistan, deploying 28,000 troops. They are seeking to destroy the faction that was led by Baitullah Mehsud until his death in a U.S. missile strike in August. Pakistan blames the group for 80 percent of terrorist attacks in the country. Mehsud's successor vowed to avenge his killing with suicide bombings.
Retaliation by militants who "think they are winning" in their offensive against the government was expected, said Zafar Nawaz Jaspal, assistant professor of International Relations at Islamabad's Quaid-e-Azam University. "Controlling South Waziristan won't end terrorist attacks completely but it will destroy their training camps and weaken" the militants, he said. The government and military are determined and "willing to pay the price," Jaspal said. [...]

And finally, some common sense in Washington:

In Washington, the U.S. Congress passed a defense spending bill that imposes restrictions on military assistance to Pakistan in a move to ensure the aid is spent fighting the Taliban. The conditions may trigger complaints in Pakistan and fan anti-U.S. sentiment. Refugee Concerns

Earlier this month, Pakistani opposition lawmakers and the military said conditions attached to a $7.5 billion civilian aid package signed by President Barack Obama undermined the nation's sovereignty. That legislation provides funds over five years to build roads, schools, power facilities and other projects serving civilians....

They think that building roads, schools, etc. will end the jihad. They will be surprised about that.
