I don’t think any comment is really necessary here. This may be, as Jeff Shipley says, the greatest speech of our generation. Words cannot do it justice.

"Good old Uncle Sam will stage attacks ... that's how they keep the slaves in line," the libertarian radio host says during a rant on his show. "We have to wake up and face the fact that we have a criminal government."

The TV media is largely ignoring the fact this guy is a rabid environmentalist. As to his demands, it's hilarious the way socialists are so obsessed with what to do with other people's money.
The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:
1. The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn's "My Ishmael" pages... (more)
Why is this being brushed over on TV? Because it doesn't suit their narrative, that's why. Look for this story to be dropped after just a few days.

This weekend the operators of BitTorrent site TorrentReactor announced they had bought a Russian village and renamed it after themselves. As the site is known for its earlier pranks the news was rightly taken with a grain of salt, but despite reports that the scheme needs presidential approval it seems the villagers are still really quite warm to the idea and are welcoming the prospect of investment.
TorrentReactor, one of the five most popular torrent sites on the Internet, mad... (more)
Eighty-six percent (86%) of voters nationwide say there should be "limits on what the federal government can do." A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only nine percent (9%) believe the federal government should be allowed to do most anything in this country.

The only exception is America's Political Class. By a 54% to 43% margin, the Political Class beli... (more)

The town formerly known as Gar has reportedly been bought for the equivalent of $148,000 and was quickly renamed after the Russian-based torrent site.
The last time a torrent site attempted to buy some land, the plan miserably failed. Early 2007 The Pirate Bay launched its ‘Buy Sealand” campaign. The plan was to r... (more)
