The NSA’s Technotyranny: One Nation Under Surveillance The ultimate goal of the NSA is total population control. – William Binney, NSA whistleblower We now have a fourth branch of government. As I document in my new book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, this fourth branch came into being without any electoral mandate or constitutional referendum, and yet it possesses superpowers, above and beyond those of any other government agency save the military. It is all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful. It operates beyond the reach of the president, Congress and the courts, and it marches in lockstep with the...

While as a liberal, I do not suggest the following with a great deal of pleasure, but Matt Drudge is by far the single most influential person in the American media, and it is fair to ask: Is he the second most influential man in America? For more than any individual in the media, Drudge dominates his competitors to the degree that he has no competitors, and determines what you watch on television, what you read in newspapers, what you hear and radio, and even what you read on the Internet about politics more than any single person in American...

Tech Ping: Bought the Computer, Trying to Do Wireless File Transfer HELP!! Is there any help out there for Win7 among the Freepers? Wanted to file transfer from the old WIN 7 machine to the new WIN7 machine and the new computer wont recognize the old computer and vice versa. Both computers I think have the same name, could that be a problem. The old computer has a home group and the new computer keeps trying to make its own home group, the hussy! The last legs are rapidly approaching for old computer Last conversation was this: Question about Laptop...

Question about Laptop Purchase Win8.1 with 1TB SATA vs Beloved Win7 No SATA?? I am again buying a computer. The VAIO with Win7 is dying after many years of faithful service. I have some Acers in sight but cannot decide between the Win8.1 with 1TB SATA vs Beloved Win7 No SATA but instead a regular hard drive. I just word-process and surf and store pics. Occasionally Skype. I have Win8 on my teeny computer and I cannot say I particularly like it, some people say I can turn the 8 into a 7 look and feel. But is it really...

Language Control: Conservatives Need to Refer to Hillary Clinton as Clinton II. Why Clinton II? Because there is a tendency for the media to obey and use fawning warm cuddly terms when dealing with their favored fascist leftists. The Clinton II team has been trying to brand her and just plain "Hillary" for years in hopes that they can emotionally disconnect her from Clinton I, the predator. Clinton II is about the aspect of entitlement that the elite gangsters have attained about leadership in this country. As a democratic republic out job is to bring the power back to the...

So What Is all This Homosexual Drama in the Media Obscuring? So what are we NOT supposed to be paying attention to in the media? What is being covered up? I understand the drama of this issue and the significance to these atheists attacking Believers on Holy Week. But there is something else? Iran? Africa? More executive orders and more loss of freedom? What is it?

So Exactly How Many Planes Have Muslims Taken Down (or Suspected) in Total? Crashed, missing... There are, of course, the four planes that were crashed on 9/11. Do we have a list? Can we make one?

How ObamaCare Harms Low-Income Workers Full-timers become part-timers, losing wages and the opportunity to buy the health coverage they most prefer. By JOHN C. GOODMAN The primary purpose of the Affordable Care Act was to make health insurance affordable for people with modest incomes. Yet as the employer mandate begins to kick in for 2015, the law is already hurting some of the people it was intended to help. By this time next year, we may find that many workers who earn within a few dollars of the minimum wage have less income and less insurance coverage (as a group)...

Equating Prudence with Cowardice France must continue to mock, bait, and needle its Muslims. How long would it take for a Western journalist to blame the Charlie Hebdo murders on French colonialism and journalistic insensitivity to the feelings of Muslims? Not nearly as long, I suspected, as it would take a journalist in the Muslim world to blame them on the legacy of Mohammed and Islam. And I was right. It took less than four hours for an associate editor of the Financial Times, Tony Barber, to post a piece on the website of his august publication blaming the journalists...

The CDC used to have a report called the Morbidity and Mortality Report which reported the previous week's deaths and reasons. I used to have it mailed to me years ago. I remember a while back on HUSSIAN's watch during a flu season, the CDC stopped reporting where deaths were occurring. I have not been able to find the report recently. Has that information been taken from us totally? I went to the CDC

Everytime the screen refreshes I am logged out of FR I log out constantly . Frustrating. New behavior. Not logging out of other sites on screen change. Do you not love me anymore?

Hello Freepers. Chickensoup is spending money again. I have to do a tech upgrade. I am buying a tablet! The little ones that people use when they don't want to be tied to the big one. So, I have decided what tablet to buy, it is an Asus Transformer 10inch. 64K and most likely with the 500 GB in the keyboard. However there seems to be versions upon versions and no one to talk to. The nice boy at Best Buy kept pointing to the one he had and said that was the one to buy. At Amazon there seems...

I want to buy one of those pad type of computers so I can use the Internet, check my email and perhaps read books on the road. I do not have a smart phone, and do not want one. I will only hook up to wifi and not have a "data package" for the machine. there seem to be several opeating systems. Apple, Google and Microsoft. Apple eeeh. Google? I am not keen about feeding the Beast. I happen to like Microsoft products. Yes I know I am the ONLY Freeper who does, but what the heck? I cannot really...

The classic Madonna and Child postal stamps are now available at the post office. Support Western Civ and our traditional culture and purchase them! They are particularly lovely this year. Does anyone remember that one was able to order Christmas cards to match the stamps? I recall my grandmother having such cards imprinted.

I know next to nothing about optics. I want to look at the birds more closely at the feeders at home. I will be looking through double paned windows. The feeders are four to ten feet away. Then there are the birds in the trees that are up to 25 feet away. Any recommendations for binoculars? I wear glasses and am nearsighted. I would appreciate any input. I think they are going to be my Christmas present to myself. That or a receiver for my old stereo that I am trying to resurrect. But that will be another thread! Thank...

As many of you may have heard, Ometepe got hit with huge mudslides over the past couple of days. Praise God, all of my students and their families are safe! By the grace of God we have only had one death, but many peoples homes, crops, and livestock have been destroyed. They will not be able to replant either because of the mounds of rock covering their land. The roads have been completely covered in rock, tree, and mud. The is the first time people have seen it this bad here on the island. Thank God we finally have power...

So How Does an Ebola Outbreak Benefit the Leftists Running the Country? What are the benefits of letting something like this run unchecked with no quarantines at border? Who wins if this becomes a factor in daily life in Western civ? Can we follow the money here? What good is this to leftist totalitarian fascists who run this oligarchy? Is this good for the super-rich? What about the Moslims? How does it benefit them? Trying to understand the bizarre public health choices here that seems to have been in place since Aids hit our shores. Are we trying not to...

So Hussein (Obama) Decides to Call ISIS ISIL and the Media is Unquestioningly Complicit? Ainsley Earhardt: “They changed the name in the middle of all this to ISIL. They don’t have the right to do that. We’re going to continue to call them ISIS.” Harris Faulkner: “So our president is tipping his hat to them.” Earhardt: “They changed the name…” Faulkner: “So, it’s the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Levant is a bigger territory. That’s why they want to embrace that name and it includes many, many more countries than just Syria.” Jesse Watters: “And I think the...
