    I assume many are going to DC rally on January 6. Even with no funny business cell phone service will be difficult if not impossible. Any ham radio operators going? Suggestions for frequencies, etc?

    “We're in a state of crisis,” said Chalk. “The front door is open and there is no lock to be had. There is not a power meter or device on the grid that is protected from hacking - if not already infected - with some sort of trojan horse that can cause the grid to be shut down or completely annihilated.” “One of the most amazing things that has happened to mankind in the last 100 years is the Internet. It's given us possibility beyond our wildest imagination. But we also know the vulnerabilities that exist inside of it. And...

  • War and the Emergency Powers of March 9, 1933 (Vanity)

    I am interested in comments, I want to debunk this! There are several sources floating around out there. "Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency. In fact, there are now in effect four presidentially-proclaimed states of national emergency: In addition to the national emergency declared by President Roosevelt in 1933, there are also the national emergency proclaimed by President Truman on December 16, 1950, during the Korean conflict, and the states of national emergency declared by President Nixon on March 23, 1970, and August 15, 1971."
  • National Medical Device Registry, is it microchips? (Vanity)

    Ok, you guys that are lawyers that have read the health care bill; what does "National Medical Device Registry" mean? I did try searching FR but didn't find anything. I've Googled it and it seems there is much confusion. Some say that it requires everybody to receive a microchip containing your personal health information. Others say it is just for keeping track of implanted biomedical devices, even though it is so vague as to possibly include every suture in your body. Should we freak out and "refuse the mark of 666"? (I'm freaking out enough anyway ;-)

  • Yes we are Washington, Adams,et al (vanity)

    We are up to the task! I have heard it said by many that we are NOT our founding fathers (Glenn Beck among others), that we are not the leaders that they were. I beg to differ. I do not think that George Washington, et al, had any idea what they were getting themselves into when they started. I think that there are among us some that are just as great that can stand up to the task. Saying that we are not our founding fathers elevates them to god-like status. If we are not equal to our founding fathers...

    Evidence appears to suggest that Baxter International is responsible for a new deadly outbreak of viral pneumonia in Ukraine. In February of 2009 Bloomberg reported that Baxter “accidentally” send vaccine material containing both live Avian bird flu and seasonal influenza to multiple laboratories worldwide. A laboratory decided to test the vaccine on it’s ferrets, but the ferrets all unexpectedly died. It must be noted that Baxter has made a “mistake” like this before. Blood products produced by Baxter once containd HIV. Thousands of haemophiliacs died due to this, and many went on to infect their spouses. Later in the year,...

    What happened to the signers of the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but...
