1. American Senior Citizens At Yellowstone Meet Obama's Fascist 'Gestapo Tactics.'
"Pat Vaillancourt went on a trip last week that was intended to showcase some of America’s greatest treasures. Instead, the Salisbury resident said she and others on her tour bus witnessed an ugly spectacle that made her embarrassed, angry and heartbroken for her country." -NewburyPortDailyNews
"Vaillancourt was one of thousands of people who found themselves in a national park as the federal government shutdown went into effect on Oct. 1. For many hours her tour group, which included senior citizen visitors from Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States, were locked in a Yellowstone National Park hotel under armed guard.
The tourists were treated harshly by armed park employees, she said, so much so that some of the foreign tourists with limited English skills thought they were under arrest." . . . Read More

2. Rushmore View Blockage Stirred Anger In South Dakota
"Barring visitors from view an unexpected effect of shutdown." -BusinessJournal
"Blocking access to trails and programs at South Dakota’s most popular attraction was one thing, but state officials didn’t expect Congress’ budget stalemate to shut down a view of Mount Rushmore.
The National Park Service placed cones along highway viewing areas outside Mount Rushmore this week, barring visitors from pulling over and taking pictures of the famed monument.
The cones first went up October 1, said Dusty Johnson, Gov. Dennis Daugaard’s chief of staff. The state asked that they be taken down, and federal officials did so with some of them. The state was told the cones were a safety precaution to help channel cars into viewing areas rather than to bar their entrance.
'I think reasonable people can disagree about that,' Johnson said. The cones were down again Friday as a blizzard hit the Black Hills and plows needed access to the roads, Johnson said." . . . Read More

3. White Soldier Fatally Stabbed By Roving Blacks, Shouting Racist Remarks
Police say it may be . . . wait for it . . . hate crime. (MSNBC should be brought in as a contributor to the crime, feeding hate of blacks against whites on its national programs.)
"A Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier was stabbed to death in a parking lot at the 12500 block of Pacific Highway Southwest around 2:30 a.m., officials say.
20-year-old Tevin Geike was walking with two other white soldiers along Pacific Highway SW when a group of black men drove by and shouted a racial comment toward the soldiers, the Lakewood Police Department said.
'One of the soldiers yelled back something about the suspects treating combat soldiers with disrespect,' Lt. Chris Lawler said.
The car turned around and the men confronted the soldiers, according to reports. As the verbal confrontation ensued, the driver of the vehicle realized the men were actually combat veterans and called his friends off. While the men headed back to their vehicle, one of the suspects appeared to have bumped into Geike, witnesses say.
The soldiers saw Geike fall to the ground as the car sped away. He was bleeding profusely from stab wounds and died at the scene." . . . Read More

4. Student Faces Felony Weapons Charge . . . Wait For It . . . For Fishing Gear In His Car
"I grew up as an avid hunter and fisherman. Like many others back then, I often had a rifle, handgun and fishing tackle in my car at school." -GodfatherPolitics
"Half of the pickup trucks parked on campus had rifles or shotguns in gun racks in the back window of the truck’s cab. They were in plain sight, but I never heard of any being stolen or anyone using them on campus. Today’s perverted world is so much different.
Cody Chitwood is a 17 years old senior at Lassiter High School in Cobb County, Georgia and loves to go fishing. Without thinking about it being a problem, he loaded his fishing gear into his car so he could go fishing after school. His timing stunk. Police showed up at the campus with drug-sniffing dogs to perform a random search. A dog hit on Chitwood’s car indicating the presence of black gun powder. That gave police probable cause to conduct a full search of his car.
It turns out that the black gun powder was residue left from a 4th of July firecracker. But during the search, the police found Chitwood’s tackle box and when they opened it, they found his fish cleaning knife. Since the school has a zero tolerance policy, Cody Chitwood was arrested and charged with a felony weapons charge. " . . . Read More

5. How Matthew Shepard Prefigured Trayvon Martin
"In reading The Book of Matt, the stunningly honest new book by Stephen Jimenez on the life and death of Matthew Shepard, I felt as if I were reading the book I had just written on the life and death of Trayvon Martin, If I Had A Son. The parallels are uncanny and the implications profound." -AmericanThinker
"In October 1998, Shepard was beaten to death by Aaron McKinney in Laramie, Wyoming. Within days, the media, Democrat strategists, leftist activists, and the White House managed to turn Shepard into a martyr.
In February 2012, Trayvon Martin was shot to death by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida. Within weeks, the media, Democrat strategists, black activists, and the White House managed to turn Martin into a martyr to the cause of civil rights. Activists in both instances pursued their causes with utter indifference to the facts of their respective cases and the rights of the accused.
Miami congresswoman Frederica Wilson spoke for many when she famously ranted, 'Trayvon was hunted down like a rabid dog. He was shot in the street. He was racially profiled.' For all her hyperbole, everything Wilson said tracked with what she might have heard on ABC, NBC, or CNN." . . . Read More
6. Obama Approval Down to 37% and Republicans Still Think They're Losing?
"Grab sound bite number two. Barack Obama's approval rating at 37%. That fact is in an AP story. Would you like to hear the headline of that AP story? I have it right here my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. 'Poll: GOP Gets The Blame In Shutdown.' And then if you read the story, you find out that as an incidental item, the president of the United States' approval number is at 37%." - Rush Limbaugh
America is entering a very dangerous period in its history. We have been warned about this from similar bedfellows and their corruptive activities around 80 years ago. Hitler's fascist media after the 1932 elections became a vital communication arm of the Third Reich. The media's fawning over Hitler in the following years helped to lead to the extermination of millions of Jews. That is a fact we all thought could never happen again in an intellectual society.
The German media used political correctness to help indoctrinate the population that Jews were less than human and therefore to not question their gradual disappearance off the streets of German towns and cities.
The technique showed the power of political correctness to level a democracy through what is known today as social engineering. It destroys the individual while rewarding collective thought. Obama with his appointees, which included socialists such as Communist Van Jones, have now filled Washington DC to the brim with the effects of social engineering. Add to this the government openly stepping all over America's Constitution, and you can feel that a fuse has been lit. -Webmaster
You can see from Rush's comment on AP's cleverly biased news reporting today on Obama's 37% approval rating, how biased news is created that properly reflects the progressive mission of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, (ASNE.) This is critical in being sure liberal spin is spread across the nation every day, AP an outlet that feeds newspapers across the United States and allows them easy access to cloned content without the expense of investigative on-staff reporters. By doing this day after day, month after month, year after year, AP is giving newspapers across the country, (that use its service), permission to bury news under any headline that will divert the reader to only the progressive message, in this case of Obama's poor 37% approval rating a title that reads, GOP Gets The Blame In Shutdown.
This is while another progressive outlet representing the television media, CNN, showed this entertainment venue how to instead expand on an enemy party's low approval rating, in this case George Bush in 2006. Read below what CNN actually reported seven years ago for a Republican president with a low public approval rating. This is while CNN today fawns over the Democrat Party's leader with a similar low rating. CNN's biased reporting can be so subtle the average low-information viewer has little understanding they're being indoctrinated to hate the Republicans and love Democrats. - Webmaster

7. Issa: ‘There’s A Reason To Fear’ Obama Agencies
"Republican California Rep. Darrell Issa, the GOP’s top government watchdog, warns that we have entered a time to 'love my country, fear my government.'" - DailyCaller
"'Right now, there’s a reason to fear the IRS and other agencies, including the EPA, who are loaded with people who feel empowered to bend the rules against those they disagree with,' the California Republican explained.
Issa has been investigating the Internal Revenue Service since Lois Lerner’s May 2013 admission that the agency treated conservative groups differently, and his Sept. 17 committee report details the committee’s progress and findings to date." . . . Read More
8. Bangladeshi Christians Told To Close Church - Then Convert To Islam!
"A local government official in central Bangladesh has halted the construction of a church, forced Christians to worship at a mosque and threatened them with eviction from their village unless they renounce their faith." -CharismaNews
"The Tangail Evangelical Holiness Church in Bilbathuagani village, Tangail district, about 100 kilometers north of Dhaka, was created Sept. 8 by a group of about 25 Christians who had been meeting secretly for three years. However, local council chairman Rafiqul Islam Faruk joined around 200 demonstrators Sept. 13 to protest against the start of the building of the church.
The following day, the Christians were summoned to his office. More than 1,000 Muslims waited outside, following an announcement at all local mosques to gather at the chairman’s office. Mokrom Ali, 32, told World Watch Monitor he was forced to accept Islam.
'The chairman and the imams of the mosques interrogated me for accepting Christianity. They asked me why I had become a Christian. It is a great sin to become a Christian from Islam,' Asli said. 'If I did not accept Islam, they would beat me, burn my house, and evict me from the society.'" . . . Read More

9. Global Warming Believers Are "Feeling The Heat."
"On Friday the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change delivers its latest verdict on the state of man-made global warming. Though the details are a secret, one thing is clear: the version of events you will see and hear in much of the media, especially from partis pris organisations like the BBC, will be the opposite of what the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report actually says." -TheTelegraph
"Already we have had a taste of the nonsense to come: a pre-announcement to the effect that “climate scientists” are now '95 per cent certain' that humans are to blame for climate change; an evidence-free declaration by the economist who wrote the discredited Stern Report that the computer models cited by the IPCC 'substantially underestimate' the scale of the problem; a statement by the panel’s chairman, Dr Rajendra Pachauri, that 'the scientific evidence of… climate change has strengthened year after year.'
As an exercise in bravura spin, these claims are up there with Churchill’s attempts to reinvent the British Expeditionary Force’s humiliating retreat from Dunkirk as a victory. In truth, though, the new report offers scant consolation to those many alarmists whose careers depend on talking up the threat. It says not that they are winning the war to persuade the world of the case for catastrophic anthropogenic climate change – but that the battle is all but lost." . . . Read More

10. Babies Can Anticipate Their Own Movements "In The Womb!"
"A new study shows that babies get better at anticipating their own movements as they enter the later stages of gestation." -WhatToExpect
"Researchers are learning more and more about what goes on in the womb as technology improves and tools allow them to actually capture images of fetal development. A new study using 4-D scans, shows that babies get better at anticipating their own movements as they enter the later stages of gestation.
Psychologists at Durham and Lancaster Universities tracked movements in a total of 60 scans of 15 healthy fetuses (8 girls and 7 boys) at monthly intervals between 24 weeks and 36 weeks gestation. In the early stages of gestation, fetuses were more likely to touch the upper part and sides of their heads. But as the fetuses matured, they began to increasingly touch the lower, more sensitive, part of their faces including their mouths." . . . Read More
