Free Republic

About a month ago a Freeper posted that Amazon had a one day download of several Matt Bracken books. I downloaded Foreign Enemies and Traitors which I am really enjoying. Anyone else here read it? Thoughts? Can't wait to BUY another book by Bracken. I don't know Matt but remember reading he was a fellow Freeper.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) on Monday seconded French President Emmanuel Macron's sentiments against nationalism, tweeting, "Macron is right" on what he said on the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. Macron heavily criticized "nationalism" in an apparent jab at President Trump during his Armistice Day remarks in Paris on Sunday.

Billionaire globalist George Soros is planning to eliminate the majority of Trump supporters from social media before the 2020 election, according to a leaked document. The 49 page document outlines plans by Soros to exert his influence, via his immense personal wealth, to pressure Big Tech to censor and purge pro-Trump journalists, citizens and outlets ahead of the next Presidential election. "A confidential, 49-page memo for defeating Trump by working with the major social-media platforms to eliminate "right wing propaganda and fake news" was presented in January 2017 by Media Matters founder David Brock at a retreat in Florida with...

he day after a horrific shooting spree by what appears to be a radicalized Muslim man and his partner in San Bernardino, California, Attorney General Loretta Lynch pledged to a group of Muslim activists that she would take aggressive action against anyone who used "anti-Muslim rhetoric" that "edges toward violence." Speaking to the audience at the Muslim Advocate's 10th anniversary dinner Thursday, Lynch said her "greatest fear" is the "incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric" in America and vowed to prosecute any guilty of what she deemed violence-inspiring speech. "The fear that you have just mentioned is in fact my...

A couple of interesting issues to consider today: First, kudos to the Louisiana GOP for filing a federal ethics complaint against Sen. Harry Reid for illegally using our tax dollars to play his “politics of personal destruction” including trying to humiliate and ruin reputations of good Americans for his radically liberal partisan purposes (including his ongoing jihad against private citizens David and Charles Koch, whom Reid hypocritically benefits from by having accepted their campaign donations through Koch-connected PACs). He unethically spends other people’s money (his addiction to O.P.M. is renown) to enrich family and friends. Reid gets away with his...

Double Red Alert Posted by Ann Barnhardt - June 24, AD 2011 9:01 AM MST Two HUGE intel leads in my email box this morning from way-back contacts that I've had for years, that are actually somewhat connected concepts. 1. File this one under "Now It All Makes Sense". A Missouri farming and ranching contact just got off a conference call wherein he was informed that the federal government is sending out letters to all of the flooded out farmers in the Missouri River flood plain and bottoms notifying them that the Army Corps of Engineers will offer to BUY...

THE ONLY PART YOU NEED TO SEE: "United States Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke noted that economic indicators did not adequately capture the economy in relation to the Earth’s natural systems. “This is like flying a very large airplane with no map,” he said. Societies had already exceeded planetary boundaries in terms of climate, biodiversity laws and overproduction of nitrogen. A “de-growth” agenda was essential. “We have to get discourse about de-growing the economy going, especially in North America,” he insisted. The sustainable development discourse should be grounded in the Earth Charter, a document developed over a decade of...

President Barack Obama said on Friday he would veto any legislation to fund, over Pentagon protests, a controversial second engine program for the multinational F-35 fighter aircraft. Obama's comments came just minutes after the House of Representatives adopted its version of a fiscal 2011 defense spending bill that included $485 million to keep the alternate engine alive for competitive reasons. The House, by a 229-186 vote, gave final passage to the measure that authorized a $726 billion budget for the Pentagon and other national defense spending. The alternate, interchangeable engine is being built by a joint venture of General Electric...

A friend of mine recently forwarded me a question a friend of his had posed: "If/when our Federal Government comes to pilfer, pillage, plunder our property and destroy our lives, what good can a handgun do against an army with advanced weaponry, tanks, missiles, planes, or whatever else they might have at their disposal to achieve their nefarious goals? (I'm not being facetious: I accept the possibility that what happened in Germany, or similar, could happen here; I'm just not sure that the potential good from an armed citizenry in such a situation outweighs the day-to-day problems caused by masses...

Went to work the other dayDidn't get blown up.Think it might have something to do with George Bush? Think it might have something to do with the measures that the president is taking to protect the country from terrorist attack? Couldn't be. What kind of fool would fall for this line of thinking? Well, I would fall for it, fool that I am. The above question was posted recently by a poster at freerepublic.com, and I believe it is spot-on. Let me be the first to say it. I am delighted -- yes, delighted -- that President Bush has the...

The military oath includes the phrase "enemies, foreign and domestic" and I'm puzzled about the definition of a domestic enemy. Is there an official definition of what makes someone a domestic enemy? Are there any examples of this charge being prosecuted? Thanks, grandma mac

U.S. Supreme Court says cities have broad powers to take property.

After 6 years on this forum, this is my very first "Vanity" posting! Travis Magee sent his book in E-Book form to me and I have just finished it. I am totally blown away! I consider this book to be the most important book I've ever read! It contains a depth of knowledge that absolutely astounds me! Old-timers know about Ruby Ridge, Waco, TWA-800, and clinton's treasonous dealings with the Red Chinese, and some know how close we came in '95 to a shooting resistance. So, I recommend this book to all who may want to see why this book...
