Being a citizen in the American corporate state is much like playing against a stacked deck: you’re always going to lose. The game is rigged, and “we the people” keep getting dealt the same losing hand. Even so, most stay in the game, against all odds, trusting that their luck will change. The problem, of course, is that luck will not save us. As I make clear in my book, Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the people dealing the cards—the politicians, the corporations, the judges, the prosecutors, the police, the bureaucrats, the military, the media, etc.—have only...

Daughter has been in missions in Central America for three years. She would like to bring home the fiancé for a visit. Says that it is impossible to obtain a visa, even for a short visit, from the US embassy. This is a man with assets and properties who of course will be returning to his country. Daughter says that even visitors who would be at conferences here in states are denies. Each application is a non refundable 200 and only can be applied once every six months, and she has seen people spend up to a thousand, trying to...

I go to FB at least once a day to check on kids. After I visit I go to options and clear my files and caches. I also run Adblock (May the LORD bless it!(now I can go to Brietbart!)) Each time I go to FB it freezes my computer while the disk runs madly. How frozen, chickensoup? Frozen enough that it stopped a cd I was listening to dead in its tracks, only to start back up when unfrozen. If I don't clear my caches and files there is no freezing. Anyone else experience this?

Have three computers two laptops and an Asus minipad with touchscreen. The laptops run Win7 and Outlook 2003, the minipad runs Win8 and Outlook whatever came with it. Have my 5 email addresses on the two laptops and one of the 5 addresses is on the minipad. I thought that all the mail would download to all the computers all the time. Not so. Some mail goes to one laptop some mail goes to the other lap top and some mail goes to the minipad. And some mail goes to all. Talked to Time-Warner, the said it was an Outlook...

In discussing and researching information about the Mexican diaspora to the USA I discover that most of the fleeing aliens are poor of indigenous origin and not Spanish Mexicans. A racial cleansing This would be a bit like making sure blacks do not have jobs and encouraging them all to go to Canada. And when Canada object having the US government secretly encourage them across the border pointing out all that empty space on the map and that the indigenous once owned all of North America. Your thoughts?

Of the making of books there is no end; but seldom can there have been so appalling a spur to writing—or at least to dictating—a book as that felt by Tina Nash. She would never have sullied a page had her boyfriend Shane Jenkin not beaten and strangled her to unconsciousness and then gouged out her eyes with his bare hands, leaving her blinded for life. It was a crime that eclipsed all others in Britain that year (2011) in sheer malignity. The victim’s book, Out of the Darkness, is a classic of a kind. Though her narrative was ghostwritten,...

I just heard an ad that I thought was a joke, it was Joe Biden selling Super Beta Prostrate on the Radio? Did I hear correctly? I heard it once before and thought it was a joke. This time I listened carefully and there was no punch line. Can any public elected official flog a product while in office. It cannot be true, can it? I looked online and could not find the ad. Is this real? Are we that far gone?

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...
