INTRODUCTION: Prior to 1992, few people had ever heard of George Soros. Then the British media made him an instant celebrity, touting him as the greatest investment genius of the age. Is Soros really a genius? Or is he just a front, created by British psywar operators to provide cover for British economic warfare operations? The man chiefly responsible for promoting Soros and creating his legend during the early '90s was Lord William Rees-Mogg, a prominent journalist, friend and confidant of the Royal Family, close friend and business associate of Lord Jacob Rothschild, and the father of British politician Jacob...

Reprinted from WorldNetDaily's Whistleblower Magazine, August 2009 TODAY WE CALL IT OBAMACARE. In 1993, we called it Hillarycare. A more accurate name would be Rockefellercare. Since the 1980s, America’s leading promoter of medical rationing has been Democrat Senator John D. Rockefeller IV of West Virginia, better known as Jay Rockefeller. The Rockefeller clan has long sought to use medicine as an instrument of population control. Dynasty founder John D. Rockefeller, the legendary oil tycoon who created Standard Oil, poured money into eugenics projects, designed to purify the human race by preventing undesirables from breeding. The Hastings Center -- which received...

Editor's note: Have you wondered what Sarah Palin is talking about when she refers to Obamacare's "death panels"? Following is an excerpt of a shocking investigative report published in the August edition of Whistleblower magazine...President Obama has promised huge cuts in medical spending. In fact, he has warned that, if America fails to make such cuts, it will face financial Armageddon. "Make no mistake: the cost of our health care is a threat to our economy…," Obama told the American Medical Association in Chicago June 15. "It is a ticking time bomb for the federal budget. And it is unsustainable...

Imagine lying in some government-run hospital, hospice or nursing home many years from now. Imagine languishing unattended for days in soiled sheets, suffering from hunger and thirst, covered with bed sores, your flesh aboil with untreated infections. Imagine living in fear of resentful, underpaid health aides who take out their anger on you and abuse you. And imagine spending your final moments on earth in the company of a government health care worker with a syringe, who injects you with a lethal cocktail. President Obama’s health proposals have the potential to turn this nightmare into a reality for millions...

Barack Obama is the first U.S. president trained in the belief system of radical organizer Saul Alinsky. More than ever, Americans need to study Alinsky’s beliefs. Information is scarce. Most writing on Alinsky is agitprop, cranked out by loyal disciples planted in the media. Sanford D. Horwitt’s Alinsky biography, “Let Them Call Me Rebel,” is no exception. It seeks to whitewash the father of “community organizing” as an American patriot, humanitarian and champion of the downtrodden. Despite its bias, “Let Them Call Me Rebel” reveals much about the real Alinsky.

Democrats have declared war on the Catholic Church, with new laws that threaten to bankrupt Catholic schools, hospitals, charities and parishes. Thus far, the worst attacks have come in New York. “We’ve taken a lot of hits this year,” Dennis Poust, spokesman for the New York State Catholic Conference, tells Newsmax. “Outside the government, the Catholic Church is the largest provider of health, human services and education in [New York]. But some legislators are so driven by malice that they’re willing to see our charities and schools go under.” Keep reading at NewsMax.com »

CONSERVATIVE COMANCHE blogger David Yeagley is enjoying a record surge in Web traffic, following the redesign of his BadEagle.com Web site. But you'd never know it from reading our Google Analytics report. While most traffic counters show Yeagley's readership skyrocketing since the January 14 relaunch, Google Analytics shows Yeagley in a nose-dive. Part of the problem appears to be that Google is ignoring any traffic we get from the popular, conservative discussion board FreeRepublic.com. As the designer of Yeagley's new site, I was pleased to see a big traffic spike on January 31, two weeks after our relaunch. The spike...

by Richard Lawrence Poe Saturday, May 17, 2008 ArchivesPermanent Link HILLARY CAN still win the Democratic nomination, provided the superdelegates vote for her. I think they will. Over 60 percent are men, and men cannot resist Hillary. Granted, Hillary is no spring chicken. Her fleshly allure has diminished over time. But Hillary has other ways of bending men to her will. Consider her effect upon journalist David Brock. A ruthless political dirt-digger for the right, Brock nearly toppled the Clinton White House. His Troopergate story in the American Spectator triggered the Paula Jones lawsuit, leading to Bill Clinton's impeachment....

by Richard Lawrence Poe Wednesday, April 2, 2008 ArchivesPermanent Link HAVE YOU seen the new five-dollar bill? It looks like someone spilled grape juice on it. A violet stain obscures Abraham Lincoln's face. On the back, an oversized numeral five appears in purple. Enough is enough. We must stop the desecration of our currency. The U.S. Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing claims it is making our banknotes "safer, smarter and more secure". They say the violet stain on Lincoln's face adds "complexity", rendering counterfeiting more difficult. The big purple five on the back supposedly helps vision-impaired people count...

by Richard Lawrence Poe Friday, February 29, 2008 ArchivesPermanent Link I ADDRESS this column to that new breed of conservative, the Hillarycon. These are conservatives who support Hillary Clinton. Below I describe the three types of Hillarycon and explain why each is wrong. TYPE 1: The Innocent Hillarycon The first type is the most well-meaning, but possibly the most deluded. Innocent Hillarycons view Hillary as a weaker candidate than Obama, and thus seek to help Hillary win the nomination. They are wrong. Hillary's weakness is an illusion. She is playing rope-a-dope with Obama. By hanging on the ropes, and...

by Richard Lawrence Poe Tuesday, February 26, 2008 ArchivesPermanent Link FORMER CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite is 91 years old and ailing. Poor health prevented him from accepting his Lifetime Achievement Award in person on January 19. At such a moment, I would prefer to speak charitably of Cronkite. But the times call for candor. Cronkite's intrigues have cost the lives of countless American soldiers. Even worse, it appears that our Central Intelligence Agency assisted Cronkite in his betrayals. Americans need to know why. Born in Saint Joseph, Missouri, Cronkite grew up in Kansas City and Houston, Texas. He dropped...

by Richard Lawrence Poe Wednesday, February 13, 2008 ArchivesPermanent Link AMERICANS FACE a grim anniversary this month. Forty years ago, on February 27, 1968, CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite pronounced the Vietnam War a hopeless cause. His forecast was premature. Saigon did not fall for another eight years. What possessed Cronkite to raise the white flag so far in advance? We now know that Cronkite was simply parroting the CIA line. Agency analysts had been churning out gloomy reports about Vietnam by the ream since 1963. Sadly, they were not content to issue classified reports through proper channels. They went...

by Richard Lawrence Poe Tuesday, February 5, 2008 Permanent LinkPast Columns IN LAST week's column, I examined the strange case of celebrity blogger Markos "Kos" Moulitsas, founder of the Democrat mega-blog DailyKos. He claims that he spent six months interviewing with the CIA, then turned down the job so he could campaign for Howard Dean. Nonetheless, Kos speaks in glowing terms of the Central Intelligence Agency. In a radio interview with Gregory Dalton of the Commonwealth Club of California, Kos said of his CIA interviewers: “Every single one of them was liberal… people who want to make the world...

by Richard Lawrence Poe Tuesday, January 29, 2008 Permanent LinkPast Columns DEMOCRAT BLOGGER Markos Moulitsas Zuñíga never fails to bewilder. He proclaims his humble origins, yet his family is rich. He heckles Hillary Clinton, yet helps her where it counts. He boasts of completing a six-month screening for CIA employment -- but says he turned down the job for no very good reason. His fans call him "Kos". His DailyKos blog draws more than half a million visits per day, reportedly generating sufficient advertising revenue to support the Kos family in style. Kos' followers -- called "Kossacks" -- include...

by Richard Lawrence Poe Monday, January 14, 2008 Permanent LinkPast Columns ARE YOU one of the 80 million baby boomers born between 1946 and 1965? If so, Hillary Clinton wants you dead. That, at least, appears to be the intent of her new plan for universal health care. In it, Hillary promises health coverage for all, yet vows to slash medical spending in America by $120 billion per year. The problem is that health care costs money. Cutting spending means cutting care. Just like her old plan from 1993, Hillary's new plan will cut costs by rationing health care....

by Richard Lawrence Poe Monday, January 7, 2008 Permanent LinkPast Columns FORGET IOWA. Forget New Hampshire. Forget the Democratic primaries altogether. The fix is in for Hillary Clinton. When Democrats convene this August in Denver, they will nominate Hillary as their candidate for President of the United States. The day after Hillary’s loss in Iowa last Thursday, her campaign chief Terry McAuliffe told reporters, “Listen, Hillary is going to be the nominee. There’s no question.” McAuliffe was not indulging in wishful thinking. He was stating a fact. He knows things the rest of us do not. One thing McAuliffe...

by Richard Lawrence Poe Monday, December 17, 2007 Permanent LinkPast Columns AT CHRISTMASTIME, Nativity scenes help bring the family of Jesus to life. However, they present only a small portion of his family. Scripture informs us that Jesus grew up in a large, sprawling clan, with many relatives. What became of that clan? Some branches may have survived. It is possible that some people living today might be related to Jesus. Dan Brown’s blockbuster novel The Da Vinci Code contends that Jesus wed Mary Magdalene and fathered a royal dynasty of France. The book sparked interest in Jesus’ bloodline....

by Richard Lawrence Poe Monday, December 10, 2007 Permanent LinkPast Columns JAPANESE BOMBERS descended on Pearl Harbor 66 years ago, killing more than 2,400 Americans and demolishing our Pacific fleet. Every American knows the story. However, too few of us know that Japanese forces made additional attacks on U.S. soil after December 7, 1941. Pearl Harbor was merely the first. Our history books grow strangely tongue-tied on this subject. After 66 years, it is time to tell the full story. Following his success at Pearl Harbor, Japanese Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto sought to press his advantage. He planned a...
