  NJ Drone 'Invasion' Just In Time For Congress To Reauthorize Orwellian Law by Tyler Durden A series of  drone sightings  over New Jersey that began in mid-November has left residents and lawmakers spooked about the possibility of foreign adversaries breaching US airspace with drone swarms. While officials have attempted to reassure the public, some  lawmakers have stoked fear , leading to widespread panic on social media, with people interpreting anything moving in the night sky as a potential drone (even commercial jets and stars).  Source: Fox News Days ago, the FBI and the US Homeland Security Department released a  statement  indicating, "We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus."  "Historically, we have experienced cases of mistaken identity, where reported drones are, in fact, manned aircraft," the federal agenci...

Searching for Monsters

  Searching for Monsters Public acceptance of U.S. foreign excess — searching for monsters to destroy — leads to acceptance of war, and to acceptance of war by other means,   writes  Andrew P. Napolitano. President George H.W. Bush displaying what he said was a bag of crack cocaine during a 1989 speech promoting his “war on drugs.”  (C-span still) Andrew P. Napolitano “ America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy … She might become the dictatress of the world, But she would no longer be the ruler of her own spirit.” — John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) I n the middle of his term as secretary of state, the future president John Quincy Adams addressed a joint session of Congress. What prompted this unusual event? The United States had just fought Britain to a draw in the War of 1812. It was fought almost entirely in Canada. Some historians believe the British began this war to win back their former colonies. Some believe the U.S. began it to seize Canada from B...

  There Is Something Rotten in Washington Scott Ritter is harassed by FBI for calling for peace while Israel’s Lobby overthrows elections Philip Giraldi One thing you can say about the Administration of President Joe Biden is that nearly every week there is something new and exciting to discuss. Galloping dementia recently gifted us with Joe’s 11 minute abdication speech in which he announced that he would not be running for another term as president. He babbled about how he was taking the step in spite of his desire to continue. The president, who is 81 and recently best noted for his failing mental state causing him to fall down stairs, felt  compelled to say that  he believes that his record as president “merited a second term” but that “nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy.” He  also claimed that  “I’m the first president in this century to report to the American people that the United States is not at war anywhere in the world,” even though i...

 Go to the source to listen to the entire interview... Cynthia McKinney: Jamaal Bowman Denounced Me Under AIPAC Orders But it didn't save him KEVIN BARRETT En route to Congress, Jamaal Bowman was forced to issue a ritual denunciation of one of his heroes, six-term Georgia Congresswoman and 2008 Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney. We know Bowman admired McKinney because he put her, alongside Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and others, on his Cornerstone Academy “wall of honor.” But Bowman’s ritual denunciations of McKinney didn’t save him. AIPAC, the Jewish billionaire lobby that runs America as its private fiefdom, couldn’t allow anyone to remain in Congress who doesn’t enthusiastically support the genocide of Gaza. Cynthia McKinney, during her six terms in Congress, got a close-up-and-personal view of the Jewish billionaires’ stranglehold over American government. If she had let them buy her the way they’ve bought almost everyone else (except Thomas Massie?) she m...
