JERUSALEM – President Obama's environmental adviser, Van Jones, was the main speaker at an anti-war rally that urged "resistance" against the U.S. government, WND has learned. The rally was sponsored by an organization associated with the Revolutionary Communist Party, which calls for the overthrow of the U.S. government and its replacement with a communist dictatorship. WND previously reported Jones, special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation to the White House Council on Environmental Quality, is an admitted black nationalist and radical communist. In 2002, Jones was a keynote speaker at a rally at People's Park in Berkeley, Calif., to...

I find it interesting the Department of Homeland Security deems it necessary to warn of rightwing extremists, as they ignore the fact of leftwing extremism. As a point of fact, making its rounds within the United States is a little book titled The Coming Insurrection. From the product description on Amazon: The Coming Insurrection is an eloquent call to arms arising from the recent waves of social contestation in France and Europe. Written by the anonymous Invisible Committee in the vein of Guy Debord—and with comparable elegance—it has been proclaimed a manual for terrorism by the French government (who recently...

Deposed Honduran leader Manuel Zelaya has called for a popular insurrection in his country so he can be returned to power after soldiers removed him at gunpoint in June. "The Honduran people have the right to insurrection," said Zelaya, speaking in the neighboring Central American country of Guatemala. Insurrection is a legitimate democratic right "when faced with a usurping government and a coup-supporting military," he added, urging his supporters in Honduras to strike, march and engage in civil disobedience because that is "a necessary process when the democratic order of a country is disrupted. I want to tell you to...

Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya says the Honduran people "have the right to insurrection" against the interim government that forced him out of the country. Zelaya says that Honduran citizens also have the right to demonstrate and to stage strikes against the government of de facto President Roberto Micheletti, who has threatened to jail Zelaya if he tries to return. Zelaya said at a joint news conference with Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom on Tuesday that "nobody owes allegiance to a usurper government." Zelaya said "insurrection is a legitimate process." Zelaya was toppled by a military-backed coup June 28. He is...

I am as sick to death of RINO apologists as I am the RINOs themselves. Too many real conservatives took a lot of flack here on FR during the last mid term and presidential election cycles for expecting Republicans to actually legislate like Republicans rather voting for every Obama-lite candidate with an “R” after their names who just might be electable. To too many, elections are about partisan score keeping and not about the direction and future of the country. Many conservatives received a lot of undeserved criticism because they refused to vote straight party line or choose the lesser...

79 year old five term Pennsylvania traitor Arlen Specter is the first casualty of the 2010 house cleaning. Never in US history, has the anti-incumbent sentiment been so broad and deep among frustrated American patriots who still believe in Life, Liberty and the Right to individually define and pursue Happiness. Ninety-nine days of the second most unpopular administration in US history, was all the people were willing to endure. The clarion call for real patriotic "change" has come from Main Street America, and the Tax Day Tea Parties have forced the first faux Republican out of their party. After years...

Loyal to Liberty This week the Iowa Supreme Court issued an opinion declaring its view that a state law banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. News articles reporting the opinion state that "the ruling becomes effective April 24." Many news services and publications reporting the story use language that suggests that this opinion makes same-sex marriages legal in Iowa. The Iowa Court's opinion, like all such rulings, constitutes a judicial insurrection that assaults unalienable right in a fashion that threatens the existence of democratic self- government in the United States. (I have elsewhere made the arguments, based on American principles of...

An updated list of what's happening in OUR house.

They once plotted insurrection in Britain. Young, middle-class, and angry, they were the vanguard of a generation of disaffected Muslims that, at its most extreme, gave rise to the July 7, 2005, transportation bombers. But now, in one of the most visible assaults on political Islam from within the British Muslim community, a network of ex-radicals launched on Tuesday a movement to fight the same ideology that they once worked to spread. The Quilliam Foundation – named for a 19th-century British convert to Islam – aims to propagate a tolerant and pluralistic view of Islam among young Muslims who are...

Nancy Pelosi’s recent trip to Syria represents more than a partisan jab at the Bush Administration and its policies. It goes to the very heart of the constitutional foundation of our republic! While Harry Reid is waving the Constitution in our faces – citing the independent power of the legislative branch of government – he conveniently diminishes the constitutional authority of the Presidency with his statement that the Democrats represent the people, while the President DOES NOT! The Democrats, and particularly Pelosi and Reid, have apparently forgotten Constitution 101. The power to set Foreign Policy resides ONLY in the Presidency....

A dangerous fatalism has gripped too many people with regard to the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear weapons program. America holds much better cards than the mullahs. We have let ourselves be spooked for far too long. History is full of instances that instruct us in the dangers of wallowing in pessimism. General Abel D. Streight plumbed the low point of his life in the spring of 1863. His cavalry raid into Alabama got off to a good start, but then he came to the attention of Nathan Bedford Forrest, a nightmare situation for anyUnion horseman. A four-day series of...

A Native Hawaiian sovereignty group took two boats from Maui to Kaho'olawe yesterday, landed on shore, set up a rock altar and planted a flag laying claim to the island. The 18 members of the group calling itself the Reinstated Hawaiian Kingdom is challenging U.S. sovereignty over land taken during the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, said Henry Noa, who identified himself as the group's "prime minister" by cell phone from the undeveloped island.

Several hundred workers briefly walked off the job at a Dodge City meatpacking plant Tuesday after company officials disciplined employees for missing work to protest proposed federal immigration laws a day earlier, union leaders said. Just before the lunch hour, about 600 workers left the line and filed into the Excel Corp. cafeteria, saying they would not work if the company sanctioned some employees for attending Monday's immigration rally, an official with United Food and Commercial Workers Local 2 said. Excel spokesman Mark Klein said he "didn't want to get into" whether the company had attempted to discipline or suspend...

DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) - Several hundred Irish Republican army supporters attacked police on Dublin's central boulevard and near the parliament building Saturday to prevent an unprecedented parade by Northern Ireland Protestants. In riotous scenes rarely seen in the Republic of Ireland, protesters hurled bottles, bricks and fireworks, at police as they tried to clear the hostile crowd from O'Connell Street. The Garda Siochana, Ireland's national police force, said 14 people - six officers, seven protesters and a journalist - were hospitalized, mostly with head wounds. More than a dozen other people suffered less serious injuries. The police advised shoppers and...

January 12th , 2006: Reconquista-ville: An "emergency" meeting of anti-American separatist leaders was held on Jan 12th in a public library in San Bernardino. They are outraged over HR 4437, the first bill that proposed actually securing our border before considering any amnesty proposals. A few minutemen attended this summit, and one of them, Gregg made this recording. The speakers all share one common theme: SECURING THE BORDER THREATENS THEIR LIVELIHOOD AND THREATENS THEIR FUNDING AND THREATENS THEIR POWER BASE. You will hear no Pledge of Allegiance nor is there any flag present, American or otherwise. You will hear no...

Protesters killed and 40,000 jailed as Blair's friend quells 'insurrection' By David Blair in Addis Ababa (Filed: 16/12/2005) A leader handpicked by Tony Blair to champion Africa has smashed his opponents with the biggest crackdown in the continent's recent history, jailing 40,000 people including boys of 15.

Meles Zenawi: Onslaught The entire leadership of Ethiopia's main opposition party has been locked up. Mr Meles has closed five newspapers and jailed their editors, while police have killed about...

What do people think about the rioting and destruction in France? It's hard to say because beyond some "good pictures" of torched cars and firemen and police trying to deal with an out-of-control situation, we aren't getting the whole – much less the real – story. For the third continuous week, a good part of France is in flames and wilding mobs in the streets have wreaked havoc on business areas and neighborhoods. The whole country is the victim of wanton violence and destruction. From a news-coverage point of view, what do we get? Not much – not much accuracy...

Imagine for a moment that the City of New York is engulfed in smoke from thousands of burning cars. Young men are shooting at cops and beating anyone with whom they come into contact. Imagine that for 11 days young immigrants from Arab and North African countries roamed the streets of New York carrying weapons, gasoline bombs and Molotov cocktails defying government officials and police officers who are prevented by a politically-correct orthodoxy from taking any offensive action. Then imagine that while all of this chaos is going on, night after night after night after night, the President of the...

1. You can't have it both ways. Stop supporting pro-war candidates, while pretending to be anti-war. That would have been like opposing the invasion of Poland, while voting for Hitler. If you continue to field pro-war candidates, you will continue to loose elections. You can't outwar the other Party, though you have made a good try at it. Pro-war voters vote the other way, and you have already lost the votes of all who are truly opposed to war. 2. The campaign for Impeachment has some merit, but it also has a down side. Working toward Impeachment not only trivializes...

Judge George Greer ruled that the State of Florida has no right to take custody of Terri Schiavo, which ruling came hours after an appeal by Terri's parents to re-insert the feeding tube was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, another hearing was scheduled tonight before US District Judge James D. Whittemore .. the same judge who previously heard and denied the request subsequent to the 'de novo' intention of the law past last weekend by the Congress and signed by President Bush, in an effort to confirm that no stone was left unturned before Terri would endure legally...

In the March 11 New York Times, Neil MacFarquhar notes in passing, "Most Iraqi households own at least one gun." This comes as a shock to those of us who've been hearing for years from the gun lobby that widespread firearms ownership is necessary to prevent the United States from becoming a police state. Here, via the National Rifle Association's Web site, is Bill Pryor, attorney general of Alabama, decrying the "war on guns": "In a republic that promotes a free society, as opposed to a police state, one of the basic organizing principles is that individuals have a right...

We are now coming to the final days of the presidential election cycle. The democrats, a.k.a. the neo-communists, have launched the most vicious non-violent campaign to seize political power. But they will lose, and lose big in the presidential and congressional elections despite their best efforts to seize power "legitimately." This article is speculative, but the scenario remains very possible given the escalation of attempts to seize power by the desperate radical left wing in recent years. For example, the neo-communists have: Used stealth to "win" the 1992 presidential election by appealing to the vanity of the ever silly Ross...

'A backlash could become insurrection' The kingdom must confront al-Qaida Thursday June 17, 2004 The Guardian (UK) Newsday Editorial, US, June 16 "The Saudi government, facing its most significant crisis yet in the surge of al-Qaida terrorism against foreigners and its own subjects, is taking serious and unprecedented steps to confront this threat to its own existence. But as a new report by the council on foreign relations [CFR] shows, the Saudi monarchy isn't doing quite enough to eradicate a cancer it allowed to grow - even encouraged - within its own society... "It has now dawned on the House...

<p>A Florida Democratic club has taken out a newspaper advertisement urging the assassination of Secretary of Defense Donald H.
