Atlanta to Become a “Welcoming City” to Illegal Immigrants

Posted on May 16, 2015 by The Common Constitutionalist

Last week, WND reported that, on April 23, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed signed an agreement with U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS), making Atlanta a “welcoming city.”

“Reed became the nation’s fourth mayor to embrace the White House push to roll out thewelcome mat for new immigrants and refugees and remove barriers to citizenship. Critics say the program has little to do with creating new citizens and everything to do with creating new Democrat voters.”

Yet, is that not one in the same? Does not the conventional wisdom dictate that these new legal residents will be democrats as a rule? Come to America – settle in one of our “welcoming cities.” We’ll give you free housing, food, schooling, etc. Of course, none of it is really free, but you don’t have to worry about those pesky details. The city will just raise everyone’s taxes to pay for you. In exchange, all you have to do is register as a democrat and vote as you’re told, when you’re told.

Oh, and don’t worry about any possible backlash from the current city residents. After all, they were stupid enough to elect us.

The three other Mayors who already signed similar deals signed are Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles, and Karl Dean of Nashville.

Okay – I get Chicago and Los Angeles, but Nashville? Has Nashville always been liberal, or is it just a recent phenomenon. I guess that’s irrelevant, being that it evidently is now.

“Reed told the AJC [Atlanta Journal Constitution] those governors and mayors who don’t welcome refugees and immigrants will eventually be seen as having been ‘on the wrong side of history’ and ‘they’re also on the wrong side of the economy.'”

“City spokeswoman Melissa Mullinax told WND that Reed began working with Welcoming America more than a year ago,” in preparation for the signing.

“Welcoming America is headed by David Lubell, a close associate of President Obama who met with the president when he announced his executive amnesty plans in Nashville last November. Lubell’s group was hatched in 2010 with $150,000 in seed money from billionaire George Soros and is now flush with federal grants,” writes WND.

Okay, I was mistaken. Instead of just these cities fitting the bill, it will be all of us paying these hard working families to settle here. Silly me, thinking Obama wouldn’t spread the misery equally.

Speaking of “the wrong side of the economy” and hard working families who come here just looking for an opportunity to live the American dream—what will they do when they settle into their new adopted home cities?

Let’s take a quick look at the employment situation in Atlanta. In September 2014, it was determined that the state of Georgia had the highest unemployment rate in the nation, at 8.1%. Now we all know that 8.1% isn’t the real number. If 8.1% is the published number, it’s really in double digits—probably at least 13-14%.

In February 2015, the rate for Atlanta was said to have dropped to 7.1%, the same as Chicago. This number is also nowhere close to the real unemployment rate.

In 2011, BET.com reported that the black unemployment rate for Atlanta was 24.1%. Considering what we know of the Obama economic recovery, do we think it’s dropped considerably in four years, if at all?

So this jerk Mayor of Atlanta, along with his compatriots, has signed on to a plan to bring more poor, unemployed people to his city, where the unemployment rate is already ridiculously high, to compete for the few low wage/low skilled jobs which are available?

That’s really looking out for “your people,” Mr. Mayor. But just like the political whores in Washington, what should we expect from a party-man who will sell his current constituency down the river in favor of a new permanent voting block?

Obama Is Creating a World Police Force While Destroying the U.S. Military

Posted on May 16, 2015 by Dave Hodges

In the recent past, I have documented how Jade Helm is, in some measure, about gun control and the use of foreign troops to enforce martial law. As if this is not offensive enough to the American people, these two factors, when combined, add up to the fact that the United States is creating a World Police Force.

Jade Helm and the UN Small Arms Treaty

Jade Helm will consist of gun confiscation and there is ample evidence pointing to this strong possibility and it started with a very concerning act that involved the Secretary of State, John Kerry, and President Obama as Kerry signed the illegal and unconstitutional UN Small Arms Treaty which effectively bans all private ownership of guns. There is one provision in the treaty that has received absolutely no attention in our mainstream media and that is the section having to do with confiscation and the use of foreign troops:

State parties to the ATT (i.e. UN Small Arms Treaty) “may seek assistance” in implementing the Treaty. The ATT indicates that a voluntary trust fund was established to promote the establishment of a multinational gun confiscation program. This statement brings in the “legitimized” use of foreign troops in order to enforce international law on American citizens in direct opposition to the Constitution.

More proof for Jade Helm morphing into a gun confiscation drill comes from the United Nations itself. Under the heading, “Hiding in plain sight”, the United Nations previously advertised for the following position in the Summer of 2014:

Posting Title: Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Officer, P4

Job Title Code: DISARMAMENT, DEMOBILIZATION AND REINTEGRATION OFFICER

-Department/Office: Department of Peacekeeping Operations

-Duty Station: New York

-Job Description: A minimum of seven years of progressively responsible experience in disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration or related area. Experience working within peacekeeping, peace-building or development programmes operations is desirable. Experience with small arms control,conflict/post-conflict crisis management, economic recovery is desirable. Experience coordinating multiple partner agencies, funds or programmes is desirable.

Nobody seems to be talking about this illegitimate imposition of foreign troops on our soil and this notion is represented in the phrase “conflict/post conflict management“!What conflict/post conflict management? Conflict management is another euphemism reserved for one of two possibilities. First, this implies there will be a civil war, hence, we have one of the reasons for the Jade Helm 15 drills. Or, that the U.S. has been conquered at the time that Jade Helm goes live and this is about disarming individual American citizens.

Ask yourself, what would be the one thing that this administration could do that would guarantee a violent response from many of the American people? That one thing would be to start seizing private guns. Foreign troops will be operating under the UN flag in the pursuit of this agenda. Obama is in the midst of purging the military leadership who will not blindly obey him and that means, in part, being willing to necessarily and indiscriminately firing upon American citizens who would resist having their Second Amendment rights obliterated by this present administration. Secondly, in order to create the manufactured need to impose martial law, the administration would need a pretext, a false flag event. I have been covering the pretext possibilities for over a  year. In fact, the pretext has been rehearsed repeatedly since the Summer/Fall of 2013, when 386,000 foreign troops trained on American soil to (1) learn to speak English; (2) learn how to use American guns; and, (3) fight in an urban environment. This DHS/FEMA drill was clearly about the imposition of martial law upon the citizens of this country through the use of foreign mercenaries.

If this was all that would be reported in this article, it would be disturbing enough. However, the convergence of these two developments, coupled with both UN and State Department documents makes it clear that this administration is creating a World Police Force.

The Revised START Treaty Introduces the World Police Force

The United States introduced, at the Sixteenth General Assembly of the United Nations, a Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World.

From a Constitutional perspective, this document implements some outrageous policies and is the kind of stuff that Senator Joe McCarthy feared the most. Today, if McCarthy read his famous statement “I have a list of 57 State Department employees who are card carrying members of the Communist Party….”, he would be correct!

The newly revised START treaty contains the following disturbing statements regarding US policy with regard to disarmament?

“Disarmament: Under Article VI of the NPT, all Parties undertake to pursue good-faith negotiations on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race, to nuclear disarmament, and to general and complete disarmament” (State Department Document entitled “Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons” Page 3, Release Date May 11, 2015 which is an update of an earlier 2010 START agreement with Russia). I was sent copies of this agreement by an insider. This information has not been released to the media as of this printing.

It is within this agreement that find the first rumblings of an international effort, backed by Obama to neuter our nuclear forces:

“President Obama stressed that “We need more resources and authority to strengthen international inspections.” Parties can advance this goal at the Review Conference by supporting universal adherence to the Additional Protocol, endorsing the Protocol as the standard for NPT verification and the supply of nuclear material and technology, and by advocating that the IAEA is given the resources that it needs to accomplish its mission” (Page 14).

The above statement is about subverting national power and sovereignty and becoming a secondary entity in comparison to the United Nations. This is the loss of American sovereignty.

These radical policies are embraced by the Obama administration as these treasonous principles have appeared in State Department literature before:

“The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition of their reestablishment in any form whatsoever other than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to a United Nations Peace Force

The armed forces of the United States and the Soviet Union would be limited to 2.1 million men each (with appropriate levels not exceeding that amount for other militarily significant states); levels of armaments would be correspondingly reduced and their production would be limited”.

Do you remember when Obama announced that he was reducing the size of the military to pre-World War II levels? This action was the fulfillment of the desire of the globalists to disarm the United States. The State Department document further goes on to state:

“The UN will seek and obtain the permanent presence of a standing UN military force”.

“An International Disarmament Organization (IDO) shall be established within the framework of the United Nations upon entry into force of the agreement. Its functions shall be expanded progressively as required for the effective verification of the disarmament program”.

Connecting the Dots

The revised 2010, now 2015, START treaty is designed to weaken both Russia and the U.S. Yet, there is one key missing element in this agreement, China. Why aren’t the Chinese involved in these nuclear disarmament agreements? Is this by design? Is this move by the UN and its lackey, the State Department designed to make China the most powerful nation in the world and will the emerging World Police Force actually be an emerging nuclear power, namely, China? Is this what the “Jade” in Jade Helm is all about?

It is clear from the State Department documents that the U.S. has laid the foundation for a World Police Force. Will it be the Chinese that heads up this force? Has the mantle of power been passed from the United States to China? Does this increase, or decrease, the likelihood that the U.S. and Russia will be encouraged to fight a war which will weaken both nations, while a healthy China waits for the winner in the wings?

Returning to Jade Helm, it is clear that not only is the U.S. being disarmed, but so will the people of the United States. Please refer to an email I received about 5 weeks ago.

Dear Dave,

I am working in conjunction with JH 15, but I decline to specify my role. In every conceivable scenario, we are rehearsing that every home that we are preparing to invade involves someone who is heavily armed. Certainly, not ever person of high-valued interest would be well-armed. This has led many of my colleagues to believe that Jade Helm is about arresting well-armed gun owners prior to occupying the immediate area of concern…. This is about gun confiscation…..

These are certainly game-changing revelations and there is a lot to consider. For example, is this new World Police Force going to be the enforcement mechanism of the TPP? Are strong nation states being purposely weakened so that corporations, under the TPP, can absorb and control nation states through this new World Police Force? Logic would lead us to answer these questions in the affirmative.

There are still many unconnected dots out there. However, there is one thing we can say for sure:

The wise American will become as independent from the existing local and federal authority as possible.

SOUTH CAROLINA Democrats Oppose Legislation That Would Ban Islamic Sharia Law from State Courts

SOUTH CAROLINA Democrats Oppose Legislation That Would Ban Islamic Sharia Law from State Courts

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Walid Shoebat

The Republican-sponsored anti-sharia legislation which would ensure that Islamic and other foreign laws are kept out of consideration by South Carolina courts is being stonewalled by Democrat panderers who seek to appease Muslim supremacists pushing hard to get sharia law recognized by American courts.

Post and Courier: A vote on the anti-Sharia law bill was postponed until Tuesday at the earliest after an hours-long debate over Charleston Republican Rep. Chip Limehouse’s proposal. Limehouse has said a law is needed to prevent radical Islamic beliefs from infiltrating state courts.

Democrats said the bill showed why the GOP was unfit to govern and why South Carolinais the butt of late-night television jokes. They accused Republicans of legislating off of Internet rumors.

Rep. James Smith, D-Columbia, called the bill “red meat” and “politics at its worst,” while Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter, D-Orangeburg, chastised Limehouse and others for having the wrong priorities.

Defenders of the measure said that events in Iraq and the growth of radical Islam in America mean that South Carolina should ensure that laws adhered to by militant groups like ISIS don’t end up in U.S. courts.

Sharia law is also sometimes used in Muslim communities to settle contract disputes or family matters, although American courts are not bound by those rules. The terrorist group ISIS has used the 14th century laws to justify the beheading of prisoners in Syria and Iraq.

Limehouse has cited the Center for Security Policy, a conservative Washington, D.C.-based think tank, that has prompted states around the country to introduce laws banning the use of foreign or Sharia laws.

The center has cited 146 cases in 32 states where Sharia law was used as a legal argument. Those states are Tennessee, Louisiana, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Washington, Alabama and Florida, according to the center.

A fear of Islamic law has grown particularly among conservative groups around the country as terrorist groups have carried out attacks and spread their message on social media.

Rep. Joe Neal, D-Hopkins, said Republicans were fear-mongering. “Laws in this state ought to be based on our Constitution not on fear, not on suspicion,” he said. “We’re better than this because we don’t need to give in to fear … and the kind of low-brow politics this seems to represent.”

The Amtrak Crash: Why The FBI Lied And Why It Is No Freak Accident Lending The Possibility Of A Terror Attack OR a False Flag Attack gone terribly wrong. (In other words the FBI was unable to contain their own terrorism plot, again.)

See More Here:

WHY DOES THE FBI HAVE TO MANUFACTURE ITS OWN PLOTS IF TERRORISM AND ISIS ARE SUCH GRAVE THREATS?

Government agents 'directly involved' in most high-profile US terror plots

Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the F.B.I.

JUDGE NAPOLITANO: FBI CREATES FAKE TERRORIST PLOTS TO JUSTIFY WAR ON TERROR

FBI Organizes Almost All Terror Plots In the US

By Walid Shoebat

When the tragic Amtrak crash happened, initially, the media and the FBI reported that foul play or terrorism was ruled out. When this misinformation came out on the 13th of this month, Shoebat.comreported on the same day, that such reports are not likely accurate, and that foul play or terrorism cannot be ruled out:

Just before Tuesday’s deadly Amtrak derailment, at about 9:25 p.m, Tuesday, SEPTA’s northbound Train 769, en route to Trenton on tracks on the Northeast Corridor beside the Amtrak rails, was struck by “an unknown projectile” that broke the engineer’s window, SEPTA spokeswoman Jerri Williams said.

Strange that about three minutes later and four miles away, near Frankford Junction, Amtrak’s northbound Train 188 derailed on the Northeast Corridor tracks, killing at least six and injuring scores.

Two trains, separate incidents within three minutes from each other and both incidents caused damage on the engineer’s window (one confirmed due to a projectile) which now some photos surfaced of the Amtrak crash also showing signs of engineer’s window shatter. Whether this is another projectile or was caused by the crash is unknown, but what is known is that both incidents were either coordinated around the same time with damage to the engineer’s window. Were these simply due to accidents? One is not. But this new revelation begins to lessen the possibility that chance was involved and that foul play becomes a possibility.

Shoebat.com stated this 5 days before the news came out confirming our suspicion. But this was not only of two incidents, but three confirmed “projectile story”. It then becomes probable that what we are dealing with is a coordinated attack:

The FBI is looking into whether there is any link between three different trains that were all apparently hit by objects just a few miles apart, within a few minutes, the night of the deadly Amtrak derailmen

Prior to these reports, Shoebat.com even provided photos of the Amtrak train showing that a projectile also have hit the derailed Amtrak train:

Tweeted photos of the derailed Amtrak

Photo of the derailed Amtrak Train 188. Notice the concentric circles due to projectiles.

The SEPTA incident which is a confirmed projectile also shows a similar concentric window shatter, a confirmed “projectile”:

The third train was “another Amtrak train, a southbound Acela train that was apparently hit in a passenger window” as ABC reported. The SEPTA “train personnel believed someone had shot at them” which “Philadelphia transit police dispatchers can be heard on scanner audio from Tuesday night, warning that a commuter train may have been shot at.”

Amtrak and SEPTA windows with apparent holes and a concentrated shatter due to projectile

Such concentrated shatter holes are not easily formed by flying debris. Train driver windows are 223 Type 1 standard windows which have “minimum requirements for glazing materials in order to protect railroad employees and railroad passengers from injury as a result of objects striking the windows of locomotives”.

The driver’s window are not the same as the side windows of passenger trains which must meet Type II standards. According to federal standards, the driver windows need to have glazing that will withstand a 40 grain .22 caliber bullet travelling at 960 feet per second, or a 24 lb cinderblock travelling at 44 feet per second.

debris are unlikely to have caused such damage. From the Amtrak driver photo one can see what seems like a possible bullet size hole which may rule out that such “projectile” was a rock.

One could argue that the derailment shattered the Amtrak train’s windshield, but this was rejected by Robert L. Sumwalt, the safety board official who is leading the investigation said “there were concentric circles on the lower left corner of the glass.” Concentrated circles are not caused by a crash trauma, but by a projectile.

The NTSB said that the second Amtrak train (third incident) — this one headed south — that had a window shattered in the same area around the same time. NBC reported that “on southbound Amtrak Acela 2173 and nearing the Philadelphia 30th Street Station around 9:20 p.m. when he was jolted by the sound of an object hitting and shattering the window of his train car.”

Window damage from Amtrak Acela 2173

The ‘projectile’ be it a “rock” or a “bullet” does not eliminate an act of terrorism and three trains being hit at the same time with such projectiles minimizes the possibility of a mere “accident”. Rocks, as some might laugh this off, are used by desperate terrorists, and if in doubt try living in Israel.

As far as the crash, indeed it is likely to have been caused by speeding. But such a scenario as a projectile hitting the engineer’s window could easily distract the engineer at the worst time while the conductor notices the curve when it was too late and applies the brakes sending the train off the tracks. The other scenario was that the engineer fell forward against the throttle, and then reacted too late.

Such scenario cannot be ruled out. Mark Rosenker, a former N.T.S.B. chairman, said the impact from a thrown object could have affected the engineer and led to the crash.

“He could have been startled to a point of distraction to lose situational awareness and forget that he was supposed to slow down instead of accelerating,” Mr. Rosenker said in an interview Friday.

Karl Edler, a retired engineer who drove the line hundreds of times, said an impact could help explain the wreck. When a train pulls out of the North Philadelphia station, the engineer usually twists the throttle “up to notch eight, which is engineer-speak for wide open,” he said.

It is about three miles to the curve where Amtrak 188 derailed.

“Usually, you just leave the throttle open until you get up to 80 miles per hour, then put on the brake for the curve,” he said. “Seems reasonable that something happened right about that time he would have started slowing down that kept him from taking the throttle off. He was startled by the impact or whatever. And by the time he realized it, it was too late.”

While the Amtrak conductor does not have recollection (perhaps due to memory loss), The New York Times reported that “Robert L. Sumwalt, the safety board official who is leading the investigation, said an assistant conductor had reported that she believed she heard a radio transmission in which an engineer on a regional line said his train had been struck by a projectile and the engineer on the Amtrak train replied that his had been struck, too.” But this report was rejected later as no such transmission was heard from the recordings. This would mean that the engineer on the crashed train never reported a projectile hitting his window, even though the evidence shows an impact that could only be caused by a projectile.

While the possibilities of an attack of some sort is high, it being a terror attack, begs the question: why has no terrorist group made any claims? Usually terrorist groups, especially ISIS sympathizers, take pride in such a successful mission as derailing an American train.

Railroads have been the target of terrorists in the past. The FBI on Friday announced a $310,000 reward for information that would lead to the arrests of people responsible for derailing an Amtrak train in Palo Verde, Arizona in October 1995. There were 258 passengers on board, and the crash caused the death of Amtrak employee Mitchell Bates. The $310,000 reward was being provided by the FBI, Amtrak, and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Notes signed “Sons of Gestapo” were found along the site, and authorities at the time discovered railroad spikes had been removed prior to the crash. There has been no information about who the Sons of Gestapo were in two decades.

Yet there is no such claim from anyone regarding this latest incident. So the mystery thickens, but what is becoming certain is that foul play is a likely possibility, as we stated prior to the news just from a simple observation of the windows. The chances of more than one incident around roughly the same time, sets a higher probability for an attack and foul play rather than the media’s initial “accident” claim and the FBI’s “no terrorism” claim. This becomes especially concerning when we have three incidents, not one.

While the FBI ruled out terrorism, the question that begs an answer is: how could the FBI rule out such a scenario before the investigation is completed? This makes zero sense. This lends another possibility for the FBI’s initial claim, that is, they did not want to alarm the public, lest all transportation systems comes to a screeching halt.

Wisdom says, its always code red, especially when they say its code orange, since code red is usually set after an attack and rarely just prior to an attack. Being somewhat paranoid when traveling is a healthy dose of reality.

Ron Paul Classic: Perfect Safety is not the Purpose of Government

Ron Paul Classic: Perfect Safety is not the Purpose of Government

Below and here is then-Congressman and Campaign for Liberty Chairman Ron Paul's official statement opposing the reauthorization of certain PATRIOT Act provisions, including Sec. 215, in 2011. Campaign for Liberty is working to block renewal of all the sunsetting PATRIOT Act provisions--either via a "clean" reauthorization or as part of a "phony" reform bill like the USA FREEDOM Act-- please help our efforts by contributing to our Stop the Surveillance State Banner Bomb. (hat tip Adam Dick at RPI).

Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this bill. I was opposed to the Patriot Act in 2001, and do not believe now that it is a good idea to extend it. The Fourth Amendment is rather clear. It says that we should be secure in our papers, our persons, our homes, and our effects; and, that if warrants are to be issued, we have to do it with probable cause, and describe in particular the places, the people, and the things that we are going to look at. I think what has happened, though, over the years has been that we have diluted the Fourth Amendment. It was greatly diluted in 2001, but it started a lot earlier than that. When the FISA law was originally written in 1978, that really introduced the notion that the Fourth Amendment was relative and not absolute. Later on, it was further weakened in 1998, and then of course in 2001. I think our reaction to the horrors of 9/11--we can understand the concern and the fear that was developed, but I think the reaction took us in the wrong direction, because the assumption was made of course that we weren't spending enough money on surveillance. Even though then our intelligence agencies received $40 billion, that didn't give us the right information. So now we are spending $80 billion. But it also looks like the conclusion was that the American people had too much privacy, and if we undermine the American people's privacy, somehow or another we are going to be safer. I think another thing that has come up lately has been that the purpose of government is to make us perfectly safe. Now, it is good to be safe, but governments can't make us safe. I question whether or not we have been made safer by the Patriot Act. But let's say a law makes us somewhat safer. Is that a justification for the government to do anything they want? For instance, if you want to be perfectly safe from child abuse and wife beating, the government could put a camera in every one of our houses and our bedrooms, and maybe there would be somebody made safer this way. But what would you be giving up? So perfect safety is not the purpose of government. What we want from government is to enforce the law and to protect our liberties. This, to me, has been, especially since 9/11, a classical example of sacrificing liberty for safety and security. Now, I didn't invent those terms. They have been around a long time. And it is easily justified, and I can understand it, because I was here in 2001 when this came up, and people become frightened, and the American people want something done. But I think this is misdirected, and it doesn't serve our benefits. I think at this time we should really question why we are extending this. We are extending the three worst parts. Why were these sunsetted? Because people had concern about them. They weren't sure they were good pieces and maybe they were overkill, and, therefore, they were saying we had better reassess it. So what have we done? We have already extended it twice, and here we are going to do it again, with the intent, I think, in a year to reassess this. But this bill doesn't make things worse, it doesn't make anything better, but it does extend what I consider and others consider bad legislation. I ask for a ``no'' vote on this legislation.

‘NOT AIMED AT THIRD COUNTRY’: RUSSIA & CHINA START JOINT DRILLS AT MEDITERRANEAN

Russian-Chinese exercise comes at a time when NATO and its allies are holding military drills all over Europe

Image Credits: Kos93, Wiki Commons.

by RT | MAY 17, 2015

---

Nine Russian and Chinese warships kicked off joint military exercises dubbed, ‘Sea Cooperation – 2015’ in the Mediterranean on Sunday, the Russian Defense ministry said.

“The active phase of the exercises will be held in the Mediterranean between May 17 and 21, about 10 warships from the Russian Navy and the People’s Liberation Army Navy [of China] will be participating,”a statement from the Defense Ministry said.

The flagship of the Crimea-based Russian Black Sea Fleet, guided missile cruiser the ‘Moskva’, will be the headquarters for the drills, the statement added.

The goal of the Russia-China exercises “is to strengthen mutual understanding between the navies… regarding boosting stability, countering new challenges and threats at sea,” Vice-Admiral Aleksandr Fedotenkov, a deputy commander of the Russian Navy, who is leading the exercises from the Russian side, said.

Chinese Navy Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Du Czinchen, will be China’s commander of the drills.

Russia’s Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov stressed “the war games aren’t aimed against any third country and aren’t linked to the political situation in the region.”

The Chinese Defense Ministry said earlier the joint maneuvers will focus on navigation safety, at-sea replenishment, escort missions and live fire exercises.

Besides the Moskva, Bora-class hover borne guided missile corvette the Samum, Krivak-class missile frigate the Ladny, Project 775 Large Landing Ships (LLS), the Aleksandr Otrakovsky and Aleksandr Shabalin, and Navy Tug MB-31 will be taking part in the exercise from the Russian side.

China sent a pair of 4,000-ton Type 54A Jiangkai II frigates – the ‘Linyi (574)’ and the ‘Weifang (547)’ as well as a replenishment ship, the ‘Wei Shanhu,’ to the Mediterranean.

The Russian-Chinese exercise comes at a time when NATO and its allies are holding military drills all over Europe.

Earlier, Russia announced its land forces will take part in a series of joint drills with troops in China, Belarus, India, and Mongolia later this year. The exercises will focus on peacekeeping and antiterrorist activities, the Kremlin said.

With relations between Moscow and the West having deteriorated over the Ukraine crisis, Russia has increased cooperation with its Chinese neighbors, in both economic and military spheres.

Chinese President Xi Jinping was Vladimir Putin’s top guest at the Victory Parade on May 9, which was followed by the signing of $25-billion deal to boost Chinese lending to Russian firms and a number of other agreements.

The Chinese authorities have also invited Russian troops to march in a parade scheduled to take place in Beijing this September.

STATES SAYING ‘NO’ TO CITIES SEEKING TO REGULATE BUSINESSES

Potential patchwork of local regulations could be bad for the economy

by ASSOCIATED PRESS | MAY 17, 2015

---

State lawmakers across the country are increasingly saying “no” to cities and counties seeking to impose local restrictions on businesses.

In the past five years, roughly a dozen states have enacted laws barring local governments from requiring businesses to provide paid sick leave to employees. And the number of states banning local minimum wages has grown to 15.

The state pre-emption laws affect issues both big and small, such as local restrictions on oil drilling and seed planting. Some states have banned local bans on plastic bags, restaurant meal toys and sugary drinks.

In each case, states have stepped in after city officials somewhere proposed local policies that business leaders didn’t like. Businesses have warned that a potential patchwork of local regulations could be bad for the economy.

Timothy McVeigh Secrets The Govt Kept From You

Coyote Killing Contests: Why They Impact You

 

By Daniel Dowling
I have a sincere appreciation for wildlife that stems from my education and research, time spent in the wilderness, and a sense of duty to play my part as a steward. I have adopted the role of conservationist, and in my work I have come across a startling phenomenon: Coyote killing contests.
These contests are operated by outdoor outfitters and organizations that distribute prize money and winnings to groups of hunters who kill the most coyotes. There are categories for other prizes, such as most pups killed and most pregnant females killed. Such contests are not limited to coyotes and often include foxes, bobcats, cougars and similar graceful predators.
Oftentimes greyhound rescues are recruited to these events to decoy coyotes out of hiding. Coyotes naturally defend their territory, and this results in injury to our domestic canine friends as well. Contest participants frequently leave their dogs out in the wild if unresponsive to a call back, or are injured.
There is no utility in these contests. The targeted animals aren’t going to feed the families of honest hunters, but are discarded promptly. If people only understood the benefits that coyotes and other predators offer our communities, there would be legislative action in all 50 states by next Tuesday.
What Coyotes Do for Us
Your Home
It has been established in bigger cities, like Chicago, that decreases in local predators result in more pest complaints. Coyotes prey upon mice and other rodents that pose a direct threat to your home, and this makes them a useful ally. Also, they keep raccoon and opossum populations in check, which means that the songbirds you love to hear will be safe.

Your Community
Established packs with an alpha male and female act as guardians for your community. These family packs are directed by the alphas who teach pups how to hunt, what to hunt and where to hunt, which is anywhere but your community! These territorial packs prevent transient coyotes from digging up garbage, preying on pets and posing a problem to your community.
Ranching
It has been proven that indiscriminate killing of coyotes results in compensatory reproduction and eventual population increase. This occurs through unregulated mating after the extermination of alpha pairs.
With a rapid decrease in predator population comes a concomitant increase in prey animals; rabbits, deer and the like. These prey animals feed on the same forage as ranchers' cattle, thus increasing competition for resources. This directly conflicts the interest of ranchers, considering that fewer than .5 percent of cattle losses are attributed to predation.
Study on Rabbits and Bison
Rather than posing a problem for ranchers, the scientific evidence suggests that coyotes are here to help!
Questioning the Carnage
Considering all of this, I have questions for participants in these contests.
Are you respecting the coyotes? Are you respecting the wildlife? Do they deserve respect? Do you deserve respect? Is there anything that doesn’t deserve respect?
Are you promoting a culture of life or a culture of death? Would you rather your child learn how to coexist peacefully with animals or to kill them indiscriminately?
Is the coyote’s incredible resiliency an excuse to kill without remorse or an indicator that it is incredibly important in the ecosystem?
Are there better ways that you could be spending your time than killing coyotes? Have you researched the ways in which mass and indiscriminate killing of coyotes is counterproductive to the ends that ranchers desire? Did you know that the killing of pack animals who know how how to coexist with ranchers makes room for loners to come through who have yet to learn?
Is there a better way for you to prove your skill in marksmanship? Could you possibly play a video game if you absolutely had to satisfy an urge for bloodlust? When you look back on this life, will you be proud to share a legacy of remorseless and senseless killing with your progeny?
Could killing coyotes in droves possibly be a bad decision? Does your wife love you for how many coyotes you kill or does she love you for the lives you improve? Would your world come crashing to an end if you realized that killing coyotes wasn’t the best use of your time?
If you had to explain to a 5-year-old child what you do with your spare time and why, would you be entirely comfortable? Are there any intelligent reasons for you to continue to kill coyotes that you can scientifically validate? Why do you think it is that the overwhelming majority of people vehemently oppose coyote killing contests?

WIFI – Why not?

By Peter Paul Parker
When I first discovered the detrimental effects of WIFI on human beings, and how our governments have been so apathetic to do anything about this problem, it inspired me to write the article below.
http://www.activistpost.com/2014/03/wifi-theres-something-in-air.html
This article was kindly reproduced by Activist Post, as well as many other alternative sites as it really does go into the problems we face with WIFI. At the Ministry of Health we are also running a ‘Get WIFI out of schools campaign’, where we are urging parents to broach this subject with their children’s head teachers. We are just one organisation out of a small number that are trying to get more public awareness of this issue Are we suffering from the boiling frog syndrome? Are we starting to see this coming into fruition now in America? Recently there was an article published in the Huffington Post where the poorest people in the Detroit area found that their telomeres are being affected for many different reasons, one of them being stress. Could this be linked to the wireless technology that we are seeing being implemented at the rate of knots throughout our habitable areas?
It has been shown in the Bio Initiative Report that WIFI does indeed fragment the DNA and, therefore, through my layman’s eyes, it must have a contribution to the detrimental effects happening to DNA of the poorest in Detroit.
The best solution to WIFI and mobile phone EMFs is to stop being exposed to it, but there are other ways to lessen the effects, as pointed out in this article. Green tea, obviously without fluoride added to it, and Vitamin D are two ways of combating the attack on your telomeres. But, as I stated, the best way of avoiding the harmful effects is to keep it away from you, where possible. Low-level EMFs have been shown to be more harmful in some of the experiments performed on this technology.

Meditation is also useful for repairing your DNA. We are human beings, not human doings. The stressful way that we live today is so damaging to our health, that meditation will help you move into the healing zone where your body naturally wants to be, and away from all the stresses and strains life has to offer. It is a way of turning off the mind and focusing on the inner peace, where we all naturally sit. This is the place where we all have a commonality, but so few are finding it still in the Western world. This is the place where we can see each other’s differences and learn to work together for a better world. This is already happening, but we all must be active in the change. Moving harmful technologies away from us is the start of the healing process if we are to pass a world that we can all be proud of on to our children. Here is a good article on meditation and the healing effects it has.

The Telegraph newspaper has just published an article reiterating all the problems WIFI and mobile phones give to us. Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe, together with Professor Olle Johansen and ssita.org.uk, have all contributed to an excellent article that is spelling out the dangers of WIFI and mobile phones. Brain tumours have taken over from leukemia as the most common cause of cancer in children. There has also been a fivefold increase in the risk of glioma, which is a form of brain tumour, for those using mobile phones under the age of twenty. Gliomas have been recognised by the World Health Organisation as being linked to mobile phone usage. 
WIFI is also linked to the increase of childhood obesity, and here we have another interesting article about health problems and strokes. We are getting sicker and sicker as a species, and I believe there are many factors causing this. Could WIFI be partly responsible for the rise in strokes, especially in the younger generations? Any stress on the body can manifest in many different ways. This could be the heart. These are all very alarming occurrences we all must start taking notice of.
People must start engaging their politicians with their outrage at the lack of precautionary care over this matter. Here is the list of the Ministers who are part of the Health Department of the Government. If enough people write to them, they have to start to take notice. The sooner the better, as this problem needs to be addressed before more innocent people are hurt. Here are the addresses below.

jane.ellison.mp@parliament.uk

The WIFI campaign that the Ministry of Health is running is pointing the blame at the head teachers, where we have designed a notice to send them. Insurance companies and the Government have washed their hands of this issue. So, therefore, it is down to all of us to stop being so apathetic and engage with these Ministers. If you need any help in putting a letter together, please feel free to write to the Ministry of Health at the below link, and we will be more than happy to put a letter together for you. We want health and well-being for all, as you can see from the opening statement on our website.

Here is the WIFI campaign we are currently running.
http://www.ministryofhealth.org.uk/wificampaign.html
Turn off your mobile phone. Don’t hold it up to your head. Use the loud speaker function. When carrying it near the body, at the very least put it onto flight mode. There is an advertising slogan being used by Vodafone that says ‘Live life with 4G.’ You may be able to get superfast Internet access on your mobile phone, but how long will the life that you live last being exposed to this radiation? It is a lottery as no one truly knows how dangerous this actually is. All the independent research, which is so hard to get funding for, is screaming out to all of us saying ‘STOP USING THIS TECHNOLOGY’. Are you going to heed the warning? I do hope for your health and well-being that you do turn off all wireless technology around you.
So it begs the question – WIFI, why not? There are many reasons why we shouldn’t be using this hazardous technology, especially with regard to our children. It is time to get active, and we wish you all the best in the push to get WIFI out of our schools. And just think, you may be the one who makes the difference. Now wouldn’t that be something.
