From Anna Zetchus Smith, the director of Rebel Evolution, comes 'The Land of the Lost Story', a coast-to-coast trip through conspiracy theories to the people who foster them, and a quest for the truth behind them. Originally shot in 1999 and then lost, it is a story and a message that is perhaps even more relevant today. Includes an exclusive, never-before-seen interview with William Cooper. © 2014 hipsocket productions Cast: Chuck Clark William Cooper George Hiram Derby Christopher Hitchens Alan Keyes Larry Klayman Max Littel Texe Marrs Chuck Missler Amo Bishop Roden Hugh Ross Formerly titled "Tailing the Millennium:...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Search and rescue teams are looking for a U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor and its pilot that went missing during a flight over Alaska late Tuesday, military officials told NBC News. The officials said the advanced stealth fighter jet was about 90 miles northeast of Elmendorf Air Force Base when it "dropped off the radar." There was no mayday or any other communication from the pilot that would have indicated the plane was in trouble, the officials told NBC News. There have been no distress calls from the pilot since the plane went missing. U.S. military...

There are so many new lows to be had in this interview, I don't quite know where to start. The interview is in two parts, and the relevant quote is at the beginning of "Parte II". The whole quote is transcribed here: Latino voters, the president said, would have an opportunity to send a message to Republicans, who Obama accused of "politicizing" immigration reform and the border security debate. Obama said "pressure has to be put on the Republican Party" if immigration reform is to become a reality. "And if Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, we're gonna...

Hey there, FRiends... I'm doing a feature-length documentary this summer and really need some help locating and getting a load of corollary footage. Although I am not yet going public with the subject and story yet, the film is titled Rebel Evolution, and the ultimate aim of it is a dialogue on the basis and necessity of our freedoms, that liberty is the best guarantor of "social justice". If the topic (however vague at the moment) inspires you, if the next six weeks have some free time for you, if you have the ability and initiative to help seek...

Last week, in possibly the rudest episode in relations with allies in American history, Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was treated almost like an interloper at the White House and abandoned by our dear leader at dinnertime. After a week of ranting amongst ourselves and on my podcast, my girlfriends and I couldn't take it anymore and put together a rather crude and goofy offering... a video apology (and dinner invitation) to Netanyahu for Obama's bad behavior. The initial story has dropped off of the radar completely, but I don't know if the repercussions from it have yet fully...

I was totally thrilled and grateful to receive a press pass from the Perry campaign for the Governor's Super Sunday event February 7th in Cypress, TX, featuring the inimitable Sarah Palin. It was like attending a rock concert what with the thousands in a line that wrapped around the huge Berry Center, Ted Nugent performing the anthem, and the press's flashbulbs everywhere. Sarah Palin did not disappoint and not only thrilled the crowd but did it in a kickin' pair of boots. (That's my girl.) Perry ended it by awarding Palin honorary Texan status... which makes perfect sense. Video...
