        The DITTO was for your comment Re..Chris.

          Feb 09, 2019 09:30 AM

          What about Big Al’s intuitive comments? I know, I know, Chris is better!

      Feb 09, 2019 09:28 AM

      Yes, Chris often does that. He is both intuitive an well informed.

        What happened to CFS? Did the Commies in Commiefornia get him?

          Feb 10, 2019 10:19 AM

          I would guess that he is away from his computer. I simply hope that he is okay.

    Feb 09, 2019 09:24 AM

    Hi AL . That was a great segment with You & Mr Temple, ( he is a common sense realist IMO ). I as an outsider looking looking in , i believe gives me a better understanding of the bigger picture as to whats going on in the US , as compared to most Americians who only really see the things that effect them.
    I have to tell you AL…your country is going to hell in a handcart. Its been happening for a long time but i notice since Trump got elected , its gone into hyper drive.
    I would go as far as to say that 95% of your elected ? !!! politions have no credability.
    I can only say that “THOSE” who voted for that abortion bill , have serious mental health issues , IMO. Christianity in the US is dying out , the same here in the UK & with Christianity dying so does morals imo. I fear that the US , could be the first western country to collapse into chaos unless the people wake the F$£K up & turn things around…Dont expect the politicians to do it..( they are only there to look after their own interests )….The People Must Do It.

      For those concerned about Christianity dying out, it should be understood that this has very much been deliberate POLICY, pushed not only by the Synagogue of Satan, but also by the gentile ‘power elite’–e.g. the Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Ford foundations.

      https://archive.org/details/TheUndergroundHistoryOfAmericanEducation_643

      Gatto:


      The Supreme Court decision Everson v. Board of Education 330 U.S. 1. (1947) prepared the dismissal of religion from American public schools.

      Everson was no simple coup d’etat, but an act of Counter-Reformation warfare aimed at the independent and dissenting Protestant-Christian traditions of America. To understand the scope of this campaign, you have to look at a selection of court decisions to appreciate the range of targets Everson was intended to hit:

      Item: A verbal prayer offered in a school is unconstitutional, even if it is both denominationally neutral and voluntarily participated in. Engel v. Vitale, 1962; Abington v. Schempp, 1963; Commissioner of Ed. v. School Committee of Leyden, 1971.

      Item: Freedom of speech and press is guaranteed to students unless the topic is religious, at which time such speech becomes unconstitutional. Stein v. Oshinsky, 1965; Collins v. Chandler Unified School District, 1981.

      Item: If a student prays over lunch, it is unconstitutional for him to pray aloud. Reed v. van Hoven,1965.

      Item: It is unconstitutional for kindergarten students to recite: “We thank you for the birds that sing; We thank you [God] for everything,” even though the word “God” is not uttered. DeSpain v. DeKalb County Community School District, 1967.

      Item: It is unconstitutional for a war memorial to be erected in the shape of a cross. Lowe v. City of Eugene, 1969.

      Item: It is unconstitutional for students to arrive at school early to hear a student volunteer read prayers. State Board of Ed. v. Board of Ed. of Netcong, 1970.

      Item: It is unconstitutional for a Board of Education to use or refer to the word “God” in any of its official writings. State v. Whisner, 1976.

      Item: It is unconstitutional for a kindergarten class to ask during a school assembly whose birthday is celebrated by Christmas. Florey v. Sioux Falls School District, 1979.

      Item: It is unconstitutional for the Ten Commandments to hang on the walls of a classroom. Stone v. Graham, 1980; Ring v. Grand Forks Public School District,1980; Lanner v. Wimmer, 1981.

      Item: A bill becomes unconstitutional even though the wording may be constitutionally acceptable, if the legislator who introduced the bill had a religious activity in his mind when he authored it. Wallace v. Jaffree, 1984.

      Item: It is unconstitutional for a kindergarten class to recite: “God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for our food.” Wallace v. Jaffree, 1984.

      Item: It is unconstitutional for a graduation ceremony to contain an opening or closing prayer. Graham v. Central Community School District, 1985; Disselbrett v. Douglas School District, 1986.

      Item: In the Alaska public schools in 1987, students were told that they could not use the word “Christmas” in school because it had the word “Christ” in it.

      Item: In Virginia, a federal court ruled in 1987 that homosexual newspapers may be distributed on a high school campus, but religious newspapers may not be.

      Item: In 1987, a 185-year-old symbol of a Nevada city had to be changed because of its “religious significance.”

      Item: In 1988, an elementary school principal in Denver removed the Bible from the school library.

      Item: In Colorado Springs, 1993, an elementary school music teacher was prevented from teaching Christmas carols because of alleged violations of the separation of church and state.

      Item: In 1996, ten-year-old James Gierke, of Omaha, was prohibited from reading his Bible silently during free time in the Omaha schools.

      Item: In 1996, the chief administrative judge of Passaic County, New Jersey, ruled juries could no longer be sworn in using the Bible.

      Item: In 2000, Ohio’s state motto, “With God, all things are possible,” was ruled unconstitutional by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals because it expressed “a uniquely Christian thought.”

        Ditto…….on the intended plan………..christians need to wake up…….

          all start way before the US or the colonies were even formed…….
          a little history lesson starting in 33ad……would be a real help.

            Feb 09, 2019 09:25 AM

            All started…….sorry…

            Feb 09, 2019 09:40 AM

            Okay Jerry, to an extent that is true as depicted in, among other places, Acts. I am obvious enough, I hope, in my convictions to possibly change some opinions. I also remember that John Wayne converted on his death bed. I imagine that God becomes very important to a person then regardless o their prior beliefs.

        Feb 09, 2019 09:26 AM

        Great outline…….of the govt…..pretend US govt ..from hell……

        I am familiar with most of those and each and everyone of them makes me very sad.
        You do have to look carefully at the concept of the “separation of church and state”

      Feb 09, 2019 09:55 AM

      I learned something useful this week, how to pour Guinness stout beer on tap. The Guinness factory is four acres in the heart of downtown Dublin next to St. Patrick’s Cathedral. There is also a Hospital nearby for people who imbibe too much. Listen up, first you tilt the draft glass 45 degrees, grab the handle and start pouring. When the glass is 80% full you set it down until the foam bubbles leave an inch head on the top. Then you fill the rest of the glass upright by pushing the leaver away from you so you don’t get the gas. LOL! DT

        Feb 09, 2019 09:58 AM

        Now I have to learn the art of drinking Moosehead Beer, the breakfast of champions. DT

          Feb 09, 2019 09:28 AM

          I am going to a Valentine’s dance tonight with my wife and two middle aged Irish ladies. The women are all decked out in red. It should be a lot of fun, as always. DT

            Feb 09, 2019 09:04 PM

            So, are you wearing a red suit?

            Feb 09, 2019 09:00 PM

          Feb 09, 2019 09:03 PM

          Love Moosehead also.

        Feb 09, 2019 09:02 PM

        I like Guinness because of the alcohol content and caloric content.

      Feb 09, 2019 09:33 AM

      Sadly Sir Irish, Duke of Guinness, I have to agree. I cannot believe that the abortion law in New York has gone to almost term. Cuomo will have an interesting time at his final judgement.

      I just noticed that a protester in Franck had his arm pulled off today. Not a good place to go on vacation right now.

    Feb 09, 2019 09:24 AM

    Mr. Pentchoukov hit on an exact thought of mine. What troubles me is not the fact that these politicians have such passion for their socialist idealism, but that such a mass of the general public believe this crap. That is what scares me. I am looking to be part of the solution but frankly do not know where to start. I swear.

      Feb 09, 2019 09:00 AM

      clutchdog…
      BINGO…To You & Mr Pentchoukov

        Feb 09, 2019 09:21 AM

        clutchdog………..check out the ACT of 1871 for a start……..

      Feb 09, 2019 09:45 AM

      Clutchdog, my suggestion is for you to be as outspoken as I am.

      GH
      Feb 09, 2019 09:20 PM

      Surely many of us are in the same boat, clutchdog.

      As you note, the really worrisome thing is how much of the general public, especially the younger folks (if I’m not mistaken), have bought into Socialism.

      That belief is the result of a covert information war (fought primarily in the schools and the mass media).

      So fighting back on that level makes sense to me. That entails edcuating ourselves about the history of how we have gotten to where we are today, and encouraging and helping others do the same.

      Hopefully the depth of America’s anti-collectivist tradition still offers some advantage in getting through to Americans and discrediting the Socialists.

      The Gatto book I posted above is must reading in this regard.

      Zygmund Dobbs has also written a couple of good books on the topic, The Great Deceit (archive.org/search.php?query=zygmund%20Dobbs), and Keynes at Harvard.

      http://www.bigskyworldview.org/content/docs/links/KeynesAtHarvard.pdf

      I highly recommend this one, as it is very informative about the influential Fabian Socialist movement. It well illustrates another weakness of the Socialists–the myriad examples of their dishonesty, horrendous behavior, and unsavory associations. Keynes, along with Harry Dexter White, were the primary architects of the post-WW2 financial system designed at Bretton Woods. Keynes was a Fabian Socialist in all but name, as well as a homosexual pedophile. White was a Soviet Communist spy.

      This has been known for 50+ years, so one would think such scandalous facts would be common knowledge. But no. So it’s worth understanding what group exercises overwhelming control over the mass media and, for a second layer of control over the vitally important information sector, advertising as well. Israel Shahak (Weight of Three Thousand Years) & Douglas Reed (Controversy of Zion) give good depth for understanding this angle (the group, not media or propaganda specifically)

      Finance is another key angle. As far as I can tell the same mega-rich Talmudists/Zionists and associates have financed the Bolsheviks (communism), Nazis (national socialism, or fascism), and promoted socialism in the US (and presumably elsewhere). References, Griffin’s “Creature From Jekyll Island” and/or Eustace Mullin’s “Secrets of the Federal Reserve”. Antony Sutton has one on the Fed that is probably also good.

      Finally, understanding Cultural Marxism is crucial. My goal is to know their schtick up and down so I can school anyone who spouts this crap in my presence. Given that normal people shy away from this garbage, they don’t know much about it, don’t have the facts and arguments, and so often remain silent in the face of Cultural Marxist claims, since contradicting them virtually guarantees a nasty confrontation. I’ve certainly done it many times. No more!

      Another advantage is that Socialism has grown up in the US via a very gradual process of infiltration, subversion, & corruption. They haven’t gotten much pushback for decades, and may find that some of their easily gained ground will also be quickly lost.

      If enough Americans learn the facts, these cockroaches will crawl back into the woodwork and not dare to show their faces.

        GH
        Feb 09, 2019 09:26 PM

        And plenty of heads will roll, too.

        Good writers active at the time FDR was betraying the American Dream to the Collectivist Oligarchs:

        Garet Garrett, The Revolution Was
        John T Flynn

        Feb 09, 2019 09:29 PM

        I will focus more on this subject very quickly, GH. PLASE SEND ME THE NAMES OF SOME OF THE EPERTS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ON KER POLITICS AND I WILL CONTACT THEM My e-mail address is alkorelin@gmail.com.

        If you could sent me this information, I would really appreciate it.

        Feb 10, 2019 10:43 AM

        Thanks GH. I will get that book and continue to educate myself. At 62, I am of the old school ways. My father was in the south pacific WW2. I struggle to empathize with this generation. At this point I do not engage with the other side because of the lack of knowledge to have a constructive debate. I do pay attention to history which again bewilders me how the current ideas of the candidates make sense to them. That is my one rebuttal to them. It is a most insane situation.

          Feb 10, 2019 10:29 AM

          Hi Clutchdog,

          I will also not engage with those on the “other side” on a subject of which I am not sure of my facts and that is why my current mission is to become more familiar with the pros and cons of socialism.

            Feb 10, 2019 10:03 PM

            Al, there are only cons to the socialism con.

          GH
          Feb 10, 2019 10:09 PM

          Yes, it’s good to keep it polite and reasonable. But my sense of the crazy ‘new Left’ is that being un-reasonable is a hallmark (and I’ve been around these people a fair bit, being GenX and having worked in the environmental conservation field.) Seems those at the activist level are even trained that way–don’t engage in debate, just amp up the emotion. They appear to recruit by identifying people they can emotionally manipulate, convincing them of false premises and false solutions. Challenge their unsound framework and they feel threatened and become highly emotional. (Challenging someone’s indoctrination, whether Left or Right, tends to lead to rapid emotional escalation.)

          Plenty of the recruits are quite unstable — youtube “Xhale City Vape Shop employee has epic meltdown over Trump Shirt” for instance.

          So it’s very situational. But one way or another I prefer to try to get in a word for my point of view and not just to cede the field. And more than debating with those already firmly convinced of the opposite view I’m interested in getting through to those still operating with an open mind.

          ————

          My list of topics above was incomplete, of course. Propaganda itelf is another theme that is worth plenty of study.

          A lot more studying is needed. But so is a lot more action. Political organizing and activism, yes. But also action at the personal level, and in collaboration with family, friends, and community. The more we understand the history, the systems of control, their strategy and tactics for extending their control, the more we can take meaningful action to counter them.

          E.g. the more I have learned about propaganda, the less interest I have in consuming any mass media. The fewer people they reach with their propaganda, the weaker they get.

          A tougher nut to crack is their control of finance, as completely side-stepping their systems of control is impractical. But simply learning to manage one’s own investments, properly diversify, learning how the financial scam works and taking defensive actions, all are a lot better than nothing. If enough people learn to defend themselves financially, the whole socialism scam becomes inviable.

          Schooling is simpler. We don’t have to participate in their indoctrination system. Whether through homeschooling, or creating local arrangements that pool resources, there have to be ways to exclude these goons from the education process, where they have no right to be. Given the legal swamp, this may require getting politically active and organized, but it needs doing.

          Health. Another one I didn’t mention, but hugely important and highly corrupted by the same crowd. By learning about nutrition and ‘natural health’ in general, and putting the knowledge into effect, we can empower ourselves hugely, improve our health dramatically, and deny huge $$$ to these fiends.

          Food. Grow a garden, subscribe to a CSA, etc. and say no to the oligopolistic control over our food supply, the toxins coming from the likes of Monsanto, etc.

          Decentralization. A good general principle–lets keep our power close to home, and not hand it over to those who have no reason to have our interests at heart.

            Feb 10, 2019 10:30 PM

            You have included some factors that i believe are important. These being food issues financial issues; toxin issues; and, of course health issues.

    Every major institution in this society is corrupt. The corruption is so systemic people don’t even recognize it. What else can we expect when we live in a corrupt society? This is the road of Empire.

    Iran: “Death to America…Means Death to Trump”

    Tom O’Connor 1 day ago

    “As Iran continues to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution that ousted a West-backed monarchy, the words “Death to America” have been chanted at countless rallies across the nation. On Friday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said this signature chant was directed at the Trump administration, including the president, national security adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He argued that the U.S. was “the embodiment of evil, violence, crisis-making and warmongering.”

    “The U.S. officials, while insulting the Iranian nation, ask why you say ‘Death to America,'” Khamenei told an air force gathering. “First of all, I want to tell the American people that ‘Death to America’ means ‘Death to Trump, Bolton and Pompeo.’ It means down with the American politicians in charge, who are currently represented by the aforementioned persons.”

    ‘Death to America’ means ‘death to the few American rulers who are running that country. We have no fight to pick with the American people,” he added. “As long as the United States shows viciousness and savagery, the slogan ‘Death to America’ will never fall from the mouth of the powerful Iranian nation.”

      Feb 09, 2019 09:50 AM

      Weren’t the leaders and people of Iran chanting “Death to America” long before Trump & his administration were in power?

        Feb 09, 2019 09:53 AM

        Also America is a country not a person or cabinet. Why don’t they change it to “Death to Trump” or “Death to American Politics” if that is their real reason for chanting it?

        This latest explanation seems a bit revisionist in nature.

        Feb 09, 2019 09:02 AM

        He argued that the U.S. was “the embodiment of evil, violence, crisis-making and warmongering.”

        Well, for the US Gooberment, New World Odor, Military Industrial Congressional Comples and Banksters that is 100% true.

          Feb 09, 2019 09:04 AM

          And of course the Neocons which have had their sights on Iran for decades.

            Feb 09, 2019 09:04 AM

            And of course our good friends the Israeliars.

            Feb 09, 2019 09:08 AM

            Ebolan – Agreed on all points.

            The point was that most at those rallies have place their hatred at America as a whole, and it’s understandable why.

            Feb 09, 2019 09:24 AM

            In a way it’s a Frankenstein of the elites and cabals in the West’s very own creation.

            Feb 09, 2019 09:33 AM

            It just struck me as funny for them to try and publicly dismiss the whole thing as a misunderstanding as it was only directed at Trump and his cabinet. (gimme a break!)

            A few years back when we were recycling a bunch of paper, someone had dumped years and years of National Geographic magazines into the bin and they were stacked up high. I grabbed a few that looked to be in brand new condition to read over. A day or two later when I cracked them open, 2 of the 4 magazines I had grabbed had $100 bills that fell out of them.

            I drove back over to that recycle bin to check on the rest of the stack, but they had already been collected. It made me wonder how many $100 bills had been stored in that National Geographic collection that got recycled and if it was chucked along with things from a family member that had passed away.

            When my grandmother passed decades ago, I also remember going through her books as she’d have hundreds of dollars stashed in some of their pages. She hated banks and bankers and was prepared for a “rainy day”.

    Facing opposition, Amazon reconsiders NY headquarters site, 2 officials say

    Robert McCartney, Jonathan O’Connell, Patricia Sullivan 17 hrs ago

    “Hailed as an economic triumph when it was announced by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) and Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), the project now faces withering criticism from some elected officials and advocacy groups appalled at the prospect of giving giant subsidies to the world’s most valuable company, led by its richest man. (Amazon founder and chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos also owns The Washington Post.)”

    “In the past two weeks, the state Senate nominated an outspoken Amazon critic to a state board where he could potentially veto the deal, and City Council members for the second time aggressively challenged company executives at a hearing where activists booed and unfurled anti-Amazon banners. Key officials, including freshman U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), whose district borders the proposed Amazon site, have railed against the project.”

    “No specific plans to abandon New York have been made. And it is possible that Amazon would try to use a threat to withdraw to put pressure on New York officials.”

    Global Economy: Why Central Bankers Blinked

    Sam Fleming in Washington and Jamie Smyth – Financial Times

    “Hours after the US president finished his State of the Union address in the House chamber, Philip Lowe, the governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, stood up to warn of an “accumulation of downside risks” — including trade skirmishes between China and the US, rising populism and Brexit. The next move in interest rates could be down, he said, instead of up.”

    “The Reserve Bank of India, which has been under pressure from prime minister Narendra Modi to ease policy, trimmed rates by a quarter-point a day later. The same day the Bank of England ditched plans for multiple rate hikes. Their dovish pivots followed what was by far the most significant policy U-turn to date: a decision by Federal Reserve chairman Jay Powell on January 30 to shelve any plans to lift rates further because of possible risks to US growth.”

      GLOBAL MARKETS-World share index set for weekly loss as ‘economic skies darken’

      Fri, February 8, 2019 – By Ritvik Carvalho

      “If there was a single takeaway from the last few days it would appear to be this – ever since the Fed started to backtrack on its growth expectations for the U.S. economy, the global economic skies, to coin an aphorism from the recent World Bank report, have started to darken further,” said Michael Hewson, chief markets analyst at CMC Markets in London.”

      “In a report last month titled ‘Darkening Skies’, the World Bank said global economic growth is expected to slow to 2.9 percent in 2019, compared with 3 percent in 2018.”

      “Hewson added that the tone in markets on the day wasn’t helped by remarks from U.S. President Donald Trump’s chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow, that U.S.-China trade talks still had sizable differences to overcome.”

        Global stocks slide as Germany’s economy draws closer to a recession

        Will Martin – Feb. 7, 2019

        – “Global stock markets are broadly lower Thursday as ongoing trade tensions, poor industrial data out of Germany, and an upcoming policy announcement from the Bank of England influence stocks.”

        – “Moves so far are small, with Europe’s biggest faller on the day losing just 0.3% as of 9.15 a.m. in London (4.15 a.m. in New York), just over an hour after markets opened.”

        – “Markets in Asia largely remain closed after the Chinese New Year. Chinese, Hong Kong, and Taiwan stocks are all still closed.”

          Why a Global Recession Is Closer Than You Think

          Money Morning • February 8, 2019

          “But conditions are not so rosy in the rest of the world. Global growth is faltering, and it could be just a matter of time before the world’s economy grinds to a halt.”

          “And a global economic slowdown could sink the American economy with it…”

          “We’re keeping our eyes on two problems that threaten global growth.”

          “First, China’s economic growth last year was the slowest it’s been in 28 years. The second largest economy in the world is no longer performing as the envy of the financial world.”

          “The Wall Street Journal reported that Beijing is struggling with domestic economic weaknesses, which includes ballooning debt, overinvestment, and constraints on private businesses. The combination knocked down growth to its slowest rate in three decades.”

          “The real problem is that China’s weakness is already creeping into American firms. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), and a slew of other firms are already pointing the finger at China to explain slowing revenue and weaker guidance….”

          “Second, Germany reported negative GDP growth last quarter.”

          “That might seem like a minor problem, but Germany is the economic engine of Europe. That’s especially true as Brexit nears and threatens to destabilize the region and further hurt the already weak UK economy.”

        Bad news keeps on coming alas

          Feb 11, 2019 11:32 AM

          Discussing options is fine, but the approach AOC is taking with this “Green New Deal” is the wrong approach.

          Anyone following the deep state plans of the last decade (Agenda 21 and 2030) should be aware that they plan on taking away personal liberties, land ownership, regulating your electrical and water consumption, and plan on taxing the crap out of the working population all behind the “Green Mask” of saving the environment.

          Just the fact that these wacked out socialist freshman wanted to include a guaranteed “Living wage”, “Free College”, and “Medicare for all” in their Green New Deal is showing they aren’t even hiding their insanity or over-reach any more.
          The only way those pipe dreams become reality is if they tax all citizens so much that they drive our society, economy, and future straight into the ground.

          Those add-ons have absolutely nothing to do with saving the insects, and are just nutty socialist/communist ideologies woven into a completely unrealistic plan.

          Trying to phase out all traditional power generation by 2030 (Oil, Nat Gas, Coal, Nuclear, Biomass) to move it over to renewables (not without their flaws), while snubbing Nuclear (the only zero carbon base load power input) is simply lunacy.

          To seriously suggest they can get all vehicles converted to electric and all buildings retrofitted to energy approved by 2030 is beyond audacious and borders on ridiculous.

          If people actually vote for this crap, then they deserve their resulting punishment. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and people will continue to denounce these idiotic proposals in favor of something more doable and less destructive to society. It does no good to save the insects if they flush the whole society and culture down the toilet at the same time.

His debates defusing social justice warriors on gender, race, victim consciousness, and socialist college students ranting in their safe spaces are refreshing and shows there is some common sense still circulating out there in the next wave of conservative thought.

    The Thieves and Sexual Assailants (TSA) has nothing to do with security.

    As I’ve been saying since the TSA’s inception, it is all about conditioning the sheeple.

    After all, if you will let your goooberment master’s minions put you through the porno scanner and pat down your genitals what won’t you let your rulers do to you?

        Feb 10, 2019 10:04 AM

        Ed,
        As I understand it the TSA is not evil,but an agency that is protecting us. Please explain why that is an evil idea. Thanks my friend.

          Feb 10, 2019 10:17 AM

          So you think it’s necessary to have your genitals patted down in order to get on an airplane?

            Feb 10, 2019 10:58 AM

            I simply am saying that i never had any of that happen and I traveled extensively during the post 9/11 period both domestically and internationally. I was also respectful and not belligerent to any agent that I came in contact with. I figured, what the heck, let’s use that attitude and see what happens. I do not use air travel today because it is simply too difficult.

            Feb 10, 2019 10:26 AM

            The purpose of the TSA is control and to condition the sheeple to accept more government involvement in their lives. How is it possible that anyone believes it exists to protect us?
            The trend away from self-ownership/personal responsibility in modern times is more than a century old and the masses are too ignorant to know what they’ve already lost.

            Feb 10, 2019 10:38 AM

            I refuse to fly unless I absolutely have to (no other alternative). Over the last 5 years I have had to fly 4 times due to my occupation. All 4 times I was put through the porno scanner and 3 times I was given the feel up. And I showed no attitude to the TSA. I did nothing to provoke them. My experience is pretty typical from people I’ve talked to and what I observed at the airports. I find it hard to believe you never experienced the porno scanner or the feel up if you flew extensively in the last 15 plus years.

            Feb 10, 2019 10:40 AM

            Mr. Big Al Korelin, watch the Corbett video then read Matthew’s comments very carefully and consider them fully. After that, I’d find it hard to believe that you would not change your mind.

            Feb 10, 2019 10:46 AM

            And besides the TSA flying these days is awful. Why is it that every year Ameroconn’s assesses keep getting wider and the airline seats keep getting narrower and more crammed together? The airports are packed, the planes are packed, the lines are long and the planes and airports are filthy. Then you get molested by goooberment perverts. Flying these days is a horror show. I remember the days when flying was a pleasure and you’d look forward to it.

            TSA Nude Body Scanners Proven Worthless
            http://dol.ajgraves.com/2012/03/tsa-nude-body-scanners-proven-worthless/

            But don’t worry. The dual citizen Israeliar Jew Michael Chertoff got rich(er) selling these pieces of sh*t to the gooooooberment. Ain’t Amerika great (again)?

            Feb 10, 2019 10:59 PM

            Matthew is correct, of course.

            The Thieves And Sexual Assailants exist to protect the gooooberment, not us. And of course to increase the gooooberment’s control over us.

          Feb 10, 2019 10:17 AM

          When was the last time you flew?

            Feb 10, 2019 10:59 AM

            See my comment above, Ed.

            Feb 10, 2019 10:56 PM

            When a society requires its people to give up their dignity just to travel, that society’s days are numbered. I think you know this.

          Feb 10, 2019 10:43 AM

          And remember Mr. Big Al Korelin, the TSA costs us billions. You pay for that in higher taxes, inflation and higher airfares (some of the TSA costs are tacked on to your ticket). So the Ameroconned Sheeple are paying for the pleasure, so to speak. (And I’m sure the perverts look at it that way.)

          Feb 10, 2019 10:44 AM

          Mr. Big Al Korelin, try to imagine Washington, Jefferson or any of the others back in that day being felt up and porno scanned by their ruler’s minions dressed up in government costumes. You think they’d stand for that for one second?

          Oh boy, Al.

          Study up on the porno scanners.

          Israel doesn’t use them, though presumably they have a much higher terrrorist risk than we do.

          Plastic explosive in a body cavity will not show up on the porno scanner. Dogs, on the other hand, aren’t so easily fooled. They don’t cause cancer. And they don’t require your being groped and turned into a porn star.

          As for TSA agents being good or bad, that completely misses the point. It’s about the agency itself, not its employees.

          How did we get along so long without TSA? Why was TSA created?…Oh, that’s right, that fraudulent event that we’re still being lied to about…

          And then we migt take a step back and wonder. Why are we worried about terrorists? Might it be about anything we are doing? Maybe there are more effective actions we could take to prevent terrorism other than adding another layer to our police state apparatus?

          Keeping us safe. My God. How many times more likely are you to be killed by MD malpractice than by a terorist? 1000x? 10,000x?

            If you haven’t been groped, that’s because you’ve agreed to go through the porn scanner.

            Again, study up on the porn scanner.

            Based on the 6:44pm comment, I’d say we are all wasting our time pointing out any more facts on this matter.

      I would have to say that some TSA agents are bad people. That situation makes me angry also, but I reuse to let all of these incidents made me crazy.

      Feb 10, 2019 10:44 PM

      I actually think that in principal the idea of the TSA is a good one. Gotta do something. i suppose that the govt could have waited until the next incident. But then what?

    You don’t have to watch the first 4 minutes of this to know that the whole 40 is a waste of time. What is Team Trump smoking?…

      40,000 sealed indictments…any day now…pure bull shit. Trump rolling out a precious metals backed dollar? That’s hilarious. We’ll see that the same day Hillary and Bill go to prison.

        40,000 of John and Jane Doe……….They print them up early,…in case the govt shuts down and the copy machine breaks………. 🙂

      I would not be surprised at all if there were active terrorist cells down there.

        Feb 10, 2019 10:55 PM

        Maybe we should send the TSA down there.

        Feb 10, 2019 10:57 PM

        If there are terrorists down there I’d bet they are backed by the Amerocon Gooberment.

    The Epoch times has a podcast series called Declassified which is on YouTube and is excellent.

    Dang, yellow vest protests really heating up in France and Macrony’s stooges are getting very violent. Yet not a peep out of the corrupt MSM in the USSA. You’d better believe that the yellow vest protests scare the corrupt A holes that rule over us.

    Walter Jones dead.

    I remember he was interviewed by KER once or twice years ago. What a shame his voice was replaced by McKinney’s here. I wish the people who run KER would listen to Jones in this video.

    https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article225147640.html

    And what a shame that people like Jones die when they still are trying to do what’s right while criminals like Pelosi, Cheney, etc. just live on and on inflicted their evil even when they leave office.

      Feb 12, 2019 12:46 PM

      Walter and Glenn…….(his side kick)….contributed some great info………

    Feb 11, 2019 11:12 AM

    I sure wish Mr. Big Al Korelin would read this article and watch Jone’s short but wrenching speech at the American Conservative conference that is embedded in the article.

    How could anyone agree with McKinney after doing that?

        That’s him (25 years before The Creature from Jekyll Island)!

          Dang, you’re right. I should have looked at the start.
