The Scandal of the IRS Scandal

Written by Conan Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:36

Thankfully someone is asking the harder hitting questions about this IRS scandal, unfortunately, it's the alternative media with little to no fanfare. Still, why is no one asking about how the IRS was used to attack political enemies of President Obama? Sure, it's a scandal that they did it, but it is a bigger scandal that it was allowed to happen at all, or even directed to happen.

Pricing Scandal Conspiracy

Written by Conan Saturday, 27 April 2013 15:45

A little bit of vindication for the conspiracy theorists from an unlikely source; Rolling Stone magazine has published a story about how a global cartel has been price fixing products for a while. Though it would appear this cartel is banks, working in conjunction with brand-name companies. All good fun we assume.

France Legalizes Gay Marriage

Written by Conan Tuesday, 23 April 2013 08:41

Well frankly, we thought this had happened years ago - no joke! But, according to the news, France legalized gay marriage today after lengthy and "harsh" debates. While there are differing opinions amongst LP users regarding how to go about legalizing gay marriage, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out in France.

Congress Corruption

Written by Conan Thursday, 18 April 2013 08:53

If we're being honest, the "two party system" is a total lie. Here is your proof: the House of Representatives and the Senate just repealed the Stock Act which forbade them from insider trading. It took 14 seconds to accomplish this in the House, and 10 seconds in the Senate. They are now above ethics, morals, and the law. Bravo, douche bags.

GOP Helps ObamaCare

Written by Conan Tuesday, 16 April 2013 10:22

They say its a two party system, and if you're blind and deaf, you probably believe that. Anyway, here is a link to the Republicans fast-tracking a bill to help bolster the ObamaCare Act. Yep, the Republicans are actively helping make the "Affordable Care Act" come to life and stay alive. Don't trust anyone in DC anymore.

NY State Subpoena's Psychiatrists

Written by Conan Monday, 15 April 2013 10:04

After the highly controversial and unConstitutional gun laws were passed in New York state, today we get word that the State is issuing subpoena's to psychiatrists asking for information on patients that are on medication and/or depressed. Seems the agenda to confiscate is moving along just peachy.

ACLU Sides with NRA

Written by Conan Wednesday, 10 April 2013 08:41

Must be living in some sort of bizarro world these days. Plucked from Yahoo News, it would appear that the American Civil Liberties Union is taking sides with ... the National Rifle Association. Time will tell if they actually do come out and support the NRA, but at this point, we're not sure what world we live in.

The ObamaCare "tax" Issue

Written by Conan Tuesday, 02 April 2013 10:44

Remember when the Supreme Court betrayed America - okay, more specifically - with the ruling on ObamaCare, that it was a "tax" and therefore legal? Well the good ol' Constitution says all taxes, i.e., revenue generating income for the government, has to originate with the House of Representatives. Which is the point of a new lawsuit, the "tax" came from the Senate, not the House. Oops.

The "Monsanto Protection Act"

Written by Conan Monday, 01 April 2013 13:53

Quitely passing through Congress and onto the desk of President Obama, HR Bill 933 was signed into law. And just what is this recent monstrosity known as the "Monsanto Protection Act?" Oh, just a way to subvert the legal system by making it impossible to stop the GMO crops from being planted. Read to see just how bad this bill really is for us.

Legislation Against Pro-Gun Sheriffs

Written by Conan Thursday, 28 March 2013 10:13

There are roughly 350 sheriffs across the country that have adamently stepped up to the challenge against gun-control. And now there are pockets of legislation popping upon across the country to have these sheriffs removed. Of course, it isn't gun-control, it is controlling people's freedoms. Or in this case, the protectors of freedom.

DHS Snubbing Congress on Ammo Supply

Written by Conan Friday, 22 March 2013 19:39

Seems a few members of Congress are finally asking the big question to the Department of Homeland Security: why, exactly, do you need enough ammo to carry on a war for 24 years? To date, no response has been made. And frankly, do not expect a straight foward answer anytime soon from our resident brownshirt employees.

Time for Collapse [ZeroHedge]

Written by Conan Thursday, 21 March 2013 08:25

This was featured yesterday over at Zerohedge, and it was a bit long of a read. Nonetheless, after considering it in full, it seemed prudent to post it here. So, how about a nice history on fiat money and the inevitable fall thereof to brighten up your day? Salient point; Cyprus is a pre-trail of things to come and our timeline is short.

Cyprus Today

Written by Conan Tuesday, 19 March 2013 09:45

We have been tentatively following the Cyprus issues lately. At first, we had a "who cares" mentality because Cyrpus is a small country with barely 1 million people. However, this little island is apparently the catalyst that may cause the entire Eurozone to fall upon itself. Did anyone see this coming? They stress-tested Cyprus' banks last year with no issues. Curious, indeed.

Want a Job? Build a drone!

Written by Conan Tuesday, 12 March 2013 14:58

It would appear there is a silver lining to having tens of thousands of drones above the US by 2020: the private industry that builds drones predicts up to 70,000 new jobs created and billions added to the economy. Hard to argue with losing your privacy and/or life in the face of so much job growth. When is the Soylent Green factory going up? What? Recycle, reuse.

About Drone Strikes in the US

Written by Conan Wednesday, 06 March 2013 11:14

In case you missed it, there was a correspondence exchange between Senator Rand Paul and the Department of Justice Top Lawyer Eric "nation of cowards" Holder. The highly unfortunate part was the admission via Eric Holder that drone strikes within the US were, in fact, legal. So with one word, "legal," all of your rights ceased to exist with your citizenship. You are now a target.

Mayor Bloomberg on Infinite Money

Written by Conan Friday, 01 March 2013 17:16

We plucked this sentence from the article: "It’s the old story: If you owe the bank $50,000, you got a problem. If you owe the bank $50 million, they got a problem." And that's the reason - according to Mayor Bloomberg - as to why we don't need to worry about being lent more money - we simply owe so much that nobody wants to see the US fail! So they keep lending us more. Comforting... we hope.

The Rich Getting Richer under Obama

Written by Conan Thursday, 14 February 2013 15:21

Such a funny thing, that claim about socialism making everyone equal. As the US moves closer to that realm, a recent report has stated that under Obama, the rich have gotten more rich than when Bush was president. But how can this be? Because the rich simply pass that extra taxation cost onto you, and you get poorer while they get richer. To each their own.

Fourth Amendment Free Zone

Written by Conan Saturday, 09 February 2013 11:02

The Constitutional infringement news keeps pouring in! This time, DHS has set up a 100 mile deep "fourth amendment free zone" extending out from the border with Mexico, to allow them illegal search and sequestration of electronic devices. They don't even need to be suspicious, just take and determine later. Sucks to be San Diego right about now, among other big cities.

Child Soldiers, For the Win!

Written by Conan Friday, 08 February 2013 15:47

Back in 2008, President Bush signed into law the Child Soldiers Prevention Act which outlawed the use of children on the battlefield - excluding them from war which is about as humanitarian as one can get. Well, last Sunday right before the Superbowl, Obama nullified that act with a legal memorandum. This, folks, is your winner of the Nobel Peace prize in action.

No More Junk Mail on Saturday

Written by Conan Wednesday, 06 February 2013 10:46

Well, that title is just a bit misleading. In fact, it should read 'no more mail, period,' for Satruday at all, starting in August of this year. Reason being, obviously, that the United States Postal Service has been running huge deficits for several years running, and need to cut back on it's labor in order to bleed less funds. Understandable.

Legal to Strike US Citizens

Written by Conan Tuesday, 05 February 2013 00:01

Plucked from the Drudge Headline, but it is what it is: Justice Department essentially gives extra-judicial authority for the US military to kill US Citizens with drone attacks without any due process of law nor, for that matter, recourse for any of the victims. This is wholly against the US Constitution and it literally jeopardizes all of us, as the government will decide what is a terrorist.

New York Gun Law: Molon Labe

Written by Conan Friday, 25 January 2013 15:13

Seems some backlash is already happening in the liberal state of New York. In fact, there seems to be more than discontent with the recent gun laws the state enacted. Or, as they purported said in Spartica back in the day; Molon Labe, which means, "Come and take them." Could be some interesting times ahead.

New York Most Strict Gun Control Now

Written by Conan Tuesday, 15 January 2013 19:07

A gathering of elitist idiots has now produced the most complex and redundant form of gun control in the nation. Signed into law today by Governor Cuomo, the State of New York is now the most stringent state of the union for obtaining a weapon. Since this has worked out so well for California over the past decade, we wait for the stats to come rolling in.

Gun Control Task Force Anomaly

Written by Conan Tuesday, 08 January 2013 11:13

Joe Biden's Gun Control Task Force - put into motion by mandate of the President - has a guy named Thomas Nee on that panel. Thomas Nee is the President of the National Association of Police Officers, and served as an officer in Boston. Oh, and his son, Joseph Nee, was convicted of plotting to commit a school massacre and served over 9 months in prison of his 2 year sentence. Conflict?

Liberals Complain about Tax Increase

Written by Conan Sunday, 06 January 2013 23:12

Since our limp-wristed Republicans couldn't do anything regarding negotiating the "fiscal cliff" and the tax-breaks or increases, there has been some out-crying over this. From liberals. Sure, it's just an editorial from the Washington Times, but their reporting on Twitter feeds about paycheck reduction is poignant. Yes, why did you vote for Obama again, as you so lament aloud?
