GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is as controversial as smoking cigarettes. States such as California attempted to require labeling, but was defeated due to heavy money backers from Monsanto, Grocery Manufactures Association, and Dupont. Pitched Battle Against GMO Seeds Recently the battle to label GMO's moved to Washington, and was again defeated. Now the battle has moved to Oregon, as initiative 522. The initiative succeeded in the urban Puget Sound region, but failed in rural counties. The failure was due to the same group, Grocery Manufactures Association, Monsanto and Dupont helping push a $22 million campaign against labeling Read More:

For Liberty Friday’s Surprise Encounter
Open carry activists in Orion Township, Michigan, had a surprise encounter at an event on Friday. While the activists expected some form of confrontation with the police during the For Liberty Friday event, they did not expect a positive situation. The Deputy Sheriff (DS) pulled up, while the activists prepared to take photos with their camera-phones. Rather than an inquiry for the activist ID, or demand for confiscation, they were greeted with handshakes.
Deputy Paul Buell, stated he was “out to catch bad guys, not people who are exercising their constitutional rights.” The deputy went on to comment on how guns scare the “uneducated.”
However, if someone calls, the police must come and check it out. Fortunately for the activist, this deputy understood and supported their Constitutional rights.
I couldn’t agree more. We need more police with this kind of understanding. Many will view Paul Buell as a hero, but in reality he is doing what should be occuring with all our police officers.
Banning Tattoos in the Army?
There is no question: Military and tattoos go together naturally like blood and guts. Yet, a new Army rule may ban tattoos. The new rule was approved by Secretary of the Army John McHugh, but not yet signed. The order would ban tattoos from the forearms, below the knee, or above the neckline. Tattoos deemed offensive must be removed regardless of location, and the soldier is required to pay for the removal.
What is considered to be offensive? Watching R.Lee Ermey playing the role as Gunnery Sargent Hartmann in Full Metal Jacket, I cannot imagine what could be offensive. Yet, the Army has found some tattoos distasteful.
Those tattoos or brands affiliated with “depicting, or symbolizing extremist philosophies, organizations, or activities.” I am not sure what these could be. Perhaps Marxism or Socialist red diaper babies would count. My fear is that it could include Patriotic or Constitutional symbols.
The list of offensive tattoos also lists sexist tattoos that degrade a person based on gender. Are women in the service offended?
John Mccain Taking Money from Rothschild family?
The perception of Congress acquiring incentives from some companies or special groups, while providing inside votes is nothing new. However, what if the special interest is a particular very wealthy family, namely the Rothschild family? It has been reported John Mccain may have been ”accepting improper contributions” from the Rothschild family during a recent trip to London.
During John Mccain’s March visit in the United Kingdom, Lord Rothschild and Nathaniel Rothschild hosted a fundraising luncheon at London’s Spencer house. The luncheon called for lounge suites, and the cost was $1000 to $2,300 per ticket. Inquires have been made from Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president. “The question is whether or not the Rothschilds paid for the event, the venue, the catering, or any other related costs,”
The Rothschild family is an empire with a net worth around $300- $400 billion range. This is only an estimate, since a true account cannot be ascertained due to the complications of how much their involvement is.
