| Historical fact: Independence Day is a celebration of freedom from government tyranny Posted: 04 Jul 2011 05:55 AM PDT By Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com Happy July 4th, my fellow Americans. It's the cweekend! Independence from what, you might ask? As even the somewhat revisionist history taught in public schools readily admits, July 4th is a celebration of independence from government tyranny under British rule. And what kind of government tyranny, specifically? Well, the kind that involves warrantless searches of peoples' homes, where government agents could just waltz right into your private home for no reason and conduct a search without even getting a court-issued warrant. That was a form of government terrorism waged against the people, and when the USA declared its independence from British rule, it adopted a new rule at home that specifically forbade such tyrannical government actions. That rule is called The Fourth Amendment. It protects citizens from illegal searches and seizures undertaken by a tyrannical lawless government. Yet, sadly, in just the last decade, the U.S. government has now thrown out the Fourth Amendment and is back to operatingexactly like the British tyrants we defeated to earn our independencein the first place! Now in the United States, TSA agents at the airport conduct illegal searches of travelers on a routine basis, with no search warrants issued, no just cause and no legal justification whatsoever. The TSA has become to modern-day America what the British tyrants were to the colonials in the 18th century.

| Anti-tax diehard looms large in spending showdown Posted: 04 Jul 2011 05:47 AM PDT By CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Without a bipartisan agreement this summer to reduce the federal deficit and raise the debt limit, the economy could suffer a horrendous blow, leaders of both parties say. If that happens, some will point fingers at a bearded, slightly disheveled man who’s barely known outside political circles in Washington. For two decades, Grover Norquist has been the driving force in pushing the Republican Party toward an ever-more rigid position of opposing any tax increase, of any kind, at any time. He has been so successful that some GOP officials fear they’ve let Norquist squeeze them into a corner where they’ll be unable to declare victory even if they win the great majority of their budget demands in negotiations with congressional Democrats and President Barack Obama. Democrats, meanwhile, use Norquist to paint the GOP as an unreasonable party that kowtows to billionaires at the expense of middle-class Americans. Obama is insisting that even if a deficit-reduction accord relies overwhelmingly on spending cuts, it also must have some revenue increases. Democrats say they should start with eliminating some not-so-popular tax breaks that Norquist and his allies stoutly defend.

| Fresh meat versus processed meat: Here’s why it matters Posted: 04 Jul 2011 05:40 AM PDT By Mike Adams, NaturalNews.com Every July 4th, Americans gobble down enormous quantities of meat. Some of it actually from animals. The rest comes from factories that assemble bits and pieces of meat scraps, using chemical additives to make the final substance resemble something edible. That’s where hot dogs come from… and sausage, pepperoni and deli meats. If you’re eating hot dogs this Fourth of July, you’re engaged in acts of nutritional tyranny against your own body. So if you eat meat, eat fresh meat, not processed meat. Here’s why: Read meat versus processed packaged meat Countless scientific studies have concluded that eating red meat is bad for you. But in those studies, researchers routinely fail to differentiate between processed junk meat versus free-range, grass-fed organic beef which isn’t processed with chemicals. And in doing so, they cast a dark shadow of doubt over all red meat when the reality is that there is a huge difference in the health impacts of fresh meat versus processed factory-made meat. Just like the primary health risk of smoking cigarettes is from the chemical additives, not merely the tobacco ; the primary health risk from eating red meat is from the chemical additives, not from the meat itself.

| Rupert Murdoch’s Failing Attempts to Control the Internet Reformation Posted: 04 Jul 2011 05:35 AM PDT By Anthony Wile, The Daily Bell Rupert Murdoch lost nearly his entire investment in MySpace the other day when he sold the failing social network to musician and actor Justin Timberlake and an ad agency he backs for some US$30 million. This was a good deal less than the US$500 million-plus Murdoch paid for it. Why did Murdoch make such a bad investment? Because he hoped to use the network as a vehicle from which he could disseminate news. He wanted to make MySpace into a mechanism to deliver current-events content. When it didn't work out – and he must have known that fairly soon – he obviously lost interest. And as his interest waned, so did MySpace. This speaks to Murdoch's desperation – and mainstream media's generally. In a digital world, he is willing to burn US$500 million simply to confirm that a social network is not a news delivery system. I could have told him that for a much lower fee. This also shows us the importance of news to the powers-that-be. The Anglosphere elites – for whom Murdoch evidently and obviously works – are determined (thus far without much success) to find a way to protect their failing information franchise. Nothing in the past 300 years or so, while the elites have advanced their one-world-order, has been so devastating to their plans as the Internet and the rise of the alternative media driven Internet Reformation. It has poisoned the chalice and befouled the well; it has unbalanced the clarity of the concoction and clouded it with truth. A bitter brew … for them!

| Vietnam War Veteran Wins Fight to Fly American Flag on Front Lawn Posted: 04 Jul 2011 05:31 AM PDT By FOXNews.com A retired U.S. Army chaplain has won his fight to fly the American flag on a flagpole on his front lawn, ABC News reports. Fred Quigley, 77, of Macedonia, Ohio, a minister who served active duty during the Vietnam War, had been told by the homeowners' association that his flagpole violates the property rules. The HOA rules state that a flag can only be displayed if affixed to the home, but that would mean Quigley would have to remove the flagpole and put up a smaller flag. Now that fight is over. The association has decided to let Quigley run Old Glory up his flagpole. The decision came in the form of a letter hand-delivered to Quigley last week, according to the station. The vet’s troubles began last year, when he moved into the retirement community and erected a standard 15-foot tall flagpole from which to fly a standard U.S. flag, 3 feet by 5 feet. The pole put him at odds with association rules and with association manager Joseph Migliorini.

| Bachmann says God ‘will heal our land’ Posted: 04 Jul 2011 05:26 AM PDT by JENNIFER JACOBS AND ALYSSA HOOGENDOORN, The Des Moines Register God will come and heal the land and bring “a new day to the country,” presidential candidate Michele Bachmann told an audience at an evangelical Christian church in Waukee on Sunday. Bachmann shared several personal stories, including about her own spiritual awakening and how a miscarriage became part of the reason she wanted to care for children who had known brokenness. Later on Sunday in Le Mars, protesters greeted the Minnesota congresswoman, who was on the second day of a new bus tour in a full-size coach emblazoned with her name. Sean Lang, 21, and Justin Wentz, 22, both of Le Mars, held signs that read “Real Catholics wouldn’t vote for a woman” and “Amend the Constitution to outlaw Michele Bachmann.” Onlookers shouted at them, “You guys need to get a job. A real job.” When Bachmann walked back to her bus, a man held a Bachmann campaign sign in front of one of the protesters’ posters.

| Illinois Governor Signs Bill Banning Release of Firearm Owners Names Posted: 04 Jul 2011 05:20 AM PDT
CHICAGO — Gov. Pat Quinn on Saturday signed into law a measure barring the public from knowing who holds a firearm owner identification card in Illinois. The bill, passed overwhelmingly by Illinois lawmakers in May, was a victory for gun owners who say they have a right to privacy over open-government advocates who say such records should not be secret. Quinn, who has said he agreed that the information should remain confidential, offered no immediate public comment Saturday, quietly announcing the bill signing by email to news outlets. In a 42-1 vote, the Senate passed a measure overturning a ruling by Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office that said the names are public under the state's open records law. Madigan's office issued the decree earlier this year after the Illinois State Police refused to release to The Associated Press the names of 1.3 million people who are registered to own firearms. The AP's request set off howls of protests from gun owners and the state police, who said they feared criminals would use the information to steal guns or target those who weren't armed. Madigan's office said the State Police had given no proof to back up claims that releasing the names would endanger gun owners. She said the opinion applied only to permit holders' names and the expiration dates on their permits, while addresses and phone numbers would remain private. The AP did not ask for cardholders' addresses and sought the records to, among other things, review governmental action. By prohibiting the names' release, Illinois follows the lead of Florida and Tennessee, which shut off access to information about people with permits to carry concealed firearms after newspapers revealed significant lapses.

| Rand Paul Plans Filibuster Over Debt Ceiling Posted: 04 Jul 2011 04:50 AM PDT From CSPAN.org On Newsmakers, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said he will hold up the Senate's business next week to force a debate on the debt limit. The Senate canceled its Fourth of July break to ensure discussions on raising the debt ceiling continues, but most of the discussions are happening behind the scenes. Senator Paul said on Newsmakers that he "will filibuster until we talk about the debt ceiling." He said the full Senate, instead of a small group of Senators, needs to engage in debate. He also said he and a group of conservative members would support raising the debt ceiling on one condition: "We will vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling if we can, but it will be contingent on passing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. " Senator Paul has been a leading proponent of adding an amendment to the Constitution mandating a balanced budget, like many states. But some Senator Paul's proposals go beyond a balanced budget requirement and include spending caps and significant spending cuts. Senator Paul said he is not opposed to all tax increases. He pointed to the Senate vote on removing ethanol subsidies, but said broader reform with lower overall tax brackets are necessary. "We're more than willing to look at the tax code," he said.

| DeMint, in new book, outlines tea party’s rise Posted: 04 Jul 2011 04:40 AM PDT COLUMBIA, S.C. — As the Republican campaign to replace President Obama heats up in early-voting states like South Carolina, Sen. Jim DeMint is releasing a book discussing the roots of the tea party crusade and his hopes for the movement in 2012. "I believe that the 2012 elections may be our last chance to stop this insanity of spending and borrowing and debt," Mr. DeMint told the Associated Press recently. "I'm trying to recruit more Americans with this book." In "The Great American Awakening," out Monday from B&H Publishing Group, Mr. DeMint describes the rise of America's tea party movement — which he helped foster — and the contentious Republican conference meeting that he said made him realize he was ready to battle his own party in the wake of Democratic victories in the 2008 elections. But Mr. DeMint said he placed as much blame on wasteful Republicans in the U.S. Senate, and he became determined to speak out against them. Mr. DeMint said he felt empowered by support from fed-up Americans as he spoke at tea party rallies in 2009. "I decided my work could no longer be with other senators," Mr. DeMint wrote. "I would have to work with the American people to elect a new class of senators, who would help me to stop the spending, debt, and the expansion of the federal government."
