May 17, 2012 By Leave a Comment

(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration “strongly objects” to provisions in a House defense authorization bill that would prohibit the use of military property for same-sex “marriage or marriage-like” ceremonies, and protect military chaplains from negative repercussions for refusing to act against their consciences, as, for example, in being ordered to perform a same-sex marriage ceremony.

In a policy statement released Wednesday, the White House Office of Management and Budget outlined numerous objections to aspects of the fiscal year 2013 National Defense Authorization Bill (H.R. 4310). The bill was reported out of the House Armed Services Committee last week and is set to be [continue reading in new window...]

May 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The U.S. military wants to plant nanosensors in soldiers to monitor health on future battlefields and immediately respond to needs, but a privacy expert warns the step is just one more down the road to computer chips for all.

“It’s never going to happen that the government at gunpoint says, ‘You’re going to have a tracking chip,’” said Katherine Albrecht, who with Liz McIntyre authored “Spychips,” a book that warns of the threat to privacy posed by Radio Frequency Identification.

“It’s always in incremental steps. If you can put a microchip in someone that [continue reading in new window...]

This is Part II in a day-long series on Louis Farrakhan’s 2012 Address to his Nation of Islam followers.

 

According to Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan:

Obama is the spokesperson for this “Synagogue of Satan” and does its bidding

Obama was “really not in favor of the attack on Gaddafi”

Colin Powell was “a black man in front of a policy to kill black people”

America’s wars are “engineered by Zionists who love Israel more than America”

Speech was given at the United Center in Chicago on February 23, 2012

April 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

On Sunday evening, April 22, Bob Simon, the veteran reporter of the highly respected and widely viewed CBS television program 60 Minutes, presented a program entitled “Christians of the Holy Land.” It was actually about Christians leaving Palestine, and why that is taking place. Simon’s report placed the blame squarely on Israel.

The program was also a personal protest against the complaint that Ambassador Michael Oren had made prior to the broadcast to Simon’s CBS bosses. It is hard to know what irritated Simon more – Israel’s alleged guilt or Oren’s criticism of his expected broadcast. Whether or not Simon is [Continue reading in new window...]
