Bombshell: US Post Offices Buy Ammo!
Published on Feb 5, 2014
The U.S. Postal Service is currently seeking companies that can provide "assorted small arms ammunition" in the near future. Ironically the Postal Service isn't the first non-law enforcement agency seeking firearms and ammunition. Since 2001, the U.S. Dept. of Education has been building a massive arsenal through purchases orchestrated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The Education Dept. has spent over $80,000 so far on Glock pistols and over $17,000 on Remington shotguns. Back in July, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also purchased 72,000 rounds of .40 Smith & Wesson, following a 2012 purchase for 46,000 rounds of .40 S&W jacketed hollow point by the National Weather Service. The Feds have also spent millions on riot control measures in addition to the ammo acquisitions. While the government gears up for civil unrest and stockpiles ammo without limit, private gun owners on the other hand are finding ammunition shelves empty at gun stores across America, including shortages of once-common cartridges such as .22 Long Rifle. http://www.infowars.com/u-s-postal-se... http://www.infowars.com/dept-of-educa... http://www.infowars.com/dhs-buys-1-6-... http://www.infowars.com/u-s-army-buys... http://www.infowars.com/u-s-army-to-b... http://www.aberdeennews.com/news/loca...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Would you ever consider the question ‘Whom do you want to be president?’ to be asked of your third grader during a math class (or any class)?
Would you expect your fourth grader to be asked to create a chart of presidents along with their political persuasions? Or, how about a discussion on whether the 2000 presidential election resulted in a “fair” outcome? Or, what if the teacher for your sixth grader was advised to “be prepared” to discuss the “politically charged” 2000 election - all during math.
“primary contributor of resources for teaching and learning mathematics for grades pre-K—12.”
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics will be holding a conference April 9-12 in New Orleans where they will be discussing
“such crucial issues as formative assessment in the common core state standards, number and operations, social justice, teaching computational fluency with understanding, leveraging technology, and supporting new teachers.” [Emphasis added]
Social Justice? During math?
Delving into a couple of lessons just a bit:
In a lesson on Histograms vs. Bar Graphs, teachers are advised to “Start the lesson by engaging students in a discussion about the Presidents of the United States.” Then,
“if no students suggest party affiliation and age at the time the person enters office, bring these characteristics into the discussion.”
The recommended website to gather data is Presidents — Infoplease, where a list of presidents and their political parties and religious affiliations are listed, as well as the their ages when they entered office and when they died.
Abraham Lincoln’s religion, by the way, is listed as “liberal,” whatever that means.
The presidents are all linked to pages that describe their respective presidencies, and some of the revisionist history is jaw-dropping.
“Over strenuous congressional opposition, Reagan pushed through his ‘supply side’ economic program to stimulate production and control inflation through tax cuts and sharp reductions in government spending. However, in 1982, as the economy declined into the worst recession in 40 years, the president’s popularity slipped and support for supply-side economics faded.”
What an interesting way to avoid the economic boom and massive reduction in unemployment that took place between 1983 – 1989.
Isn’t this a math class???
Another one of the lessons points to a CNN worksheet that explains the electoral college.
It says (falsely!) in part,
“Some of the Constitution’s authors did not trust the ability of the common voter to make the ‘right’ decision, so they devised the Electoral College as one way of lessening the power of the popular vote.” [Emphasis added]
This statement is embarrassing. And blatantly false.
In fact, the founding fathers were highly critical of a pure democracy, which has been referred to as a “Tyranny of the Majority.” A great example of how a majority can lead to tyranny is the how Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently revoked the 200-year-old senate filibuster rule known as the “nuclear option.” The founders’ vision of checks and balances was relabeled as “obstructionism” and the tyranny of the majority has raised it’s ugly head, as the founders warned, and as discussed at Liberty Unyielding.
“Complaints are everywhere heard from our most considerate and virtuous citizens, equally the friends of public and private faith, and of public and personal liberty, that our governments are too unstable, that the public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties, and that measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.” [Emphasis added]
The founding fathers are repeatedly misrepresented. The only way to really understand their intent is to read their actual words.
Mathematics and Social Justice
After searching “social justice” on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics website, one finds that it is quite a popular phrase, with 130 results.
Some random clicks include such language as,
“Educators increasingly recognize the important role that mathematics teaching plays in helping students to understand and overcome social injustice and inequality.”
Those are two examples, out of 130. It is overwhelming.
Admittedly, this author is not an expert on Common Core standards or the new “radical math,” but just a cursory look at these lesson plans indicate that “math” is not the only thing elementary school children are learning.
More on radical math and Common Core can be found at Dr. Susan Berry’s must-read piece posted at Breitbart, as well as Danette Clark’s article posted at EAG News.
Dr. Mark Naison speaks out against Common Core. Mark is Professor of African and African American Studies at Fordham and the founder and principal investigator of the Bronx African American History Project. He is co-founder of Badass Teachers Association. He is the author of four books, and over one hundred articles on African American History, labor history, sports and popular culture.--Cortlandt Manor, New York. February 4, 2014

This is the third and final segment of Alex's in depth interview with Adam Loewy, the Attorney for the family of Noe Nino de Rivera the 17 year old boy with no criminal record who was tased in broad daylight at Cedar Creek High School in Bastrop, Texas in 2013. De Rivera spent nearly two months in a coma after his head was slammed onto the concrete in the fall. Now out of that coma, he will have to live with traumatic brain injuries for the rest of his life. The boys mother Maria Acosta, spoke to the mainstream media last week, stating "Noe is totally dependent on me now."
"All of America is becoming an Abu Ghraib!" say's Jones. "Just why are unarmed children being tased in the hallways of schools? This culture of endorsing what ever the police do is going to be our downfall." He continued.
Austin Attorney Adam Loewy breaks down the Fourth Amendment; how Noe Nino de Rivera's rights to be free from excessive force were completely violated. We have to stand up to this, if we just roll over it only greases the skids" Jones said.
The case is now in discovery. Loewy asserts that evidence will be forthcoming exposing a subsequent attempts by the Cedar Creek High School District and Police to craft a narrative. "There was a lot of suspicious activity by the School District immediately after the incident" said Loewy.
"The cover up is proof of the crime" said Jones. This is part of a growing problem- not an isolated incident. In addition, Adam Loewy points out how District Attorneys rarely -- if ever indite their own in these cases.
Spread the word far and wide - and share this video on Facebook !
"Armed militarized police in Iowa smashed their way into the home of an innocent family last week and discovered that they were being filmed on home security cameras. The response paints a vivid picture, as one officer ripped a camera from the wall, while another covered up a second camera to prevent the raid being documented."
"The cameras, stationed around the property on the inside and outside, captured the moment that up to a dozen armed police dressed in helmets, ski-masks and riot gear marched up to the home of Sally Prince and prepared to smash her door in over what turned out to be nothing more than unfounded suspicion of minor fraud."
Family Raided - Police Brutality
Caught on Camera:
Published on Feb 5, 2014
A dramatic raid by local police in Ankeny, Iowa, was captured on surveillance video last Thursday — and it has critics warning of the continuing militarization of police departments in America. Police were executing a search warrant at the home of a Des Moines family, where they thought they'd find $1,000 in merchandise purchased with a stolen credit card. Given the nature of the crime, some people, including the family, are asking if the excessive force was necessary. During a tearful interview, Sally Prince told WHO-TV that she has been traumatized to the point that she can't sleep at night. She says if they had only knocked first, she would have consented to a search of her home. Police claim they first knocked on the door, but the surveillance video shows an officer pounding on the side of the house seconds before officers used a battering ram to bust through the front door. Police are also seen destroying a security camera outside the home and covering another with some sort of fabric. A search of the home did not result in the recovery of the items police believe were bought with stolen credit cards. Two people in the house were arrested on unrelated charges, and the family says none of the items listed on the warrant were found, the report adds. Though there were no injuries reported in the incident, things could have easily turned deadly. Prince's son, Justin Ross, has a permit to carry a firearm on his person. When he heard commotion, he says he drew his weapon while in the bathroom and prepared for an intruder to come through the door. Luckily, he heard one of the cops in the other room say police before they kicked in the door, so he re-holstered his weapon, sat back down and placed his hands in his lap away from his gun. If he failed to hear police identify themselves, he could encountered officers with his weapon drawn and could have possibly been shot and killed. This is over property purchased with a stolen credit card, Prince said. It doesn't make any sense to go to such extremes for something that simple. When pressed on the decision to send in a unit similar to a SWAT team, Ankeny police spokeswoman Captain Makai Echer said it came down to the suspects' criminal histories and other factors. Of the three suspects that were present in the home, one has a violent arrest record for two assaults about 13-years ago and a domestic assault, WHO-TV reports. It wasn't clear if the fact that Ross has a legal permit to carry a firearm factored into their decision to conduct the military-style raid. The surveillance video has been making its way across the Internet and has some critics warning of the dangers of police militarization. When critics (like me) warn about the dangers of police militarization, this is what we're talking about. You'll see the raid team, dressed in battle-dress uniforms, helmets and face-covering balaclava hoods take down the family's door with a battering ram, the Washington Post's Radley Balko writes.

Lila Rose interviews Ex-Girlscouts Sydney and Tess
about Girl Scouts USA & Planned Parenthood Alliance:
Uploaded on May 25, 2011
Live Action president Lila Rose interviews Sydney and Tess Volanski, two ex-girlscouts who are now spreading the word about how Girl Scouts USA promotes abortion and Planned Parenthood. These brave teenage sisters are exposing the truth with their new website, Speak Now Girl Scouts http://speaknowgirlscouts.com/.
What's the Concern About Funding Girl Scout Councils and GSUSA?
Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA) recently promoted pro-abortion politicians, Senator Wendy Davis and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, as women to be honored for their accomplishments in 2013. Many other pro-life concerns exist about the Girl Scout organization including:
GSUSA, with over 2 million girl members, maintains relationships with many pro-abortion advocacy groups.
Girl Scouts’ curriculum for girls, sold and promoted by every local Girl Scout council, recommends pro-abortion role models/organizations such as Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Geraldine Ferraro, Hillary Clinton, Amnesty International, Population Council, ACLU, National Organization For Women (NOW) and others.
GSUSA and local Girl Scout councils connect girls to resources promoting abortion rights and inappropriate sexual content via official Girl Scout social media accounts.
Across the country, local Girl Scout councils honor and promote abortion rights advocates and pro-abortion politicians; suggest girls work with organizations that fight for abortion on demand; and invite girls to attend events related to abortion rights advocacy and other controversial issues.
GSUSA is the largest member organization of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), making up a third of its 10 million members worldwide and paying approximately 1.5 million dollars annually to WAGGGS based on the number of registered GSUSA members.
WAGGGS, which states that "anyone who is a Girl Guide or Girl Scout is automatically a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts," aggressively promotes youth reproductive/abortion and sexual rights, specifically on behalf of its 10 million members.
Where Does Girl Scout Cookie Money Go? A girl's troop keeps an average of just 10 to 20 percent of the money she collects from selling cookies.
The local council receives an average of 65 to 75 percent of the money collected by all local troops. GSUSA collects a royalty payment based upon their licensed trademark on every box of cookies produced. Consider that 200 million boxes of cookies are sold annually and the cookie licensing payments account for 5 to 7 percent of GSUSA's budget. This amounts to upwards of 5 million dollars in funding for GSUSA every year.

Be informed: What Girl Scouts USA does with their cookie 'dough'
January 28, 2014
As Girl Scouts USA begins its annual cookie sale, I am asking you to consider what the organization supports with all that dough.
Christy Volanski is the mother of two former Girl Scouts who created the website Speak Now Girl Scouts to expose the link between the group and the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
As Christy clearly outlines in her article, "GSUSA will try to assure you that all the proceeds from cookie sales stay local to benefit girls in their community." What they fail to mention is that GSUSA makes millions of dollars each year through licensing fees paid by the baker. It's money like this that goes to promote the Girl Scout's partnership with Planned Parenthood.
Just this month, the Girl Scouts came under fire for tweeting a link to a news story and video that praises pro-abortion Texas state senator Wendy Davis (D-Texas.)
It’s hard to say no to those little girls in the green and brown sashes, but buying Girl Scout cookies serves only to further facilitate a very liberal pro-abortion agenda.
When they knock on your door, just say, "No, thank you." No explanation is needed.
Alex Jones hit them hard on air this morning! This is beyond political correctness, its total control" Jones said. The Fort Collins Colorado High School was taken to the woodshed - and rightfully so for their imbecilic decision-tree like management style which banned America Day aka 'Merica Day for fear of upsetting country folks by labeling them "hicks" according to school "officials". We all of course know that the phrase 'Merica is not pejorative and is one of Alex's on air "fun phrases".
The good news is that we are all being effective, and "officials" has reversed the decision and "Merica Day will be held... with one catch--- it will be titled A-Merica Day. Seems like a violation of free speech. After all 'Merica Day was voted on by the Student Council.

Ironically, school forces students to recognize Cinco de Mayo
Adan Salazar
Infowars.com
February 4, 2014
A high school in Colorado denied students’ requests to organize a day in honor of the United States, students attending the school recently revealed.
Students at Fort Collins High School wanted to dedicate one day out of the school’s Winter Spirit Week to celebrating American patriotism. Students declared “Merica Monday” could be a day where people could band together and dress in the colors of the American flag.
School administrators, however, thought the event would be far too exclusive and nixed the proposal.
“They said they didn’t want to offend anyone from other countries or immigrants,” one 16-year-old student council member told Fox News’ Todd Starnes. “They just really did not want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.”
Upon learning of the administrations’ denial, outraged parents – who wished to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal – also disapproved of the school’s actions.
“It’s bizarre and idiotic that we’ve come to this crossroads in our society that we are having to sacrifice our own culture and belief system,” a concerned parent lamented to Starnes. “I can’t even tell you how it got our blood boiling.”
A second, more general proposal, in the form of “My Country Monday,” was also rejected by school officialdom.
“It’s shocking,” the student remarked to Starnes. “There are men and women fighting for our country and we should be able to celebrate that and be proud that we live in a country where we are allowed to vote – the right to free speech. They won’t even let us celebrate it.”
The school did eventually reinstate “My Country Monday” once Starnes began calling them for an interview.
Reportedly, Fort Collins students, however, are ironically “required to participate in Cinco de Mayo celebrations,” honoring instead the Mexican culture and heritage, yet another indication that public schools are purposely attempting to make America take a back seat.
Schools being used as tools of indoctrination and political repression is nothing new, but the move towards demonizing allegiance to America and its Constitutional ideals is relatively new and has seemingly accelerated in the past few decades.
Last October, for instance, students in Arkansas received an assignment in which they were instructed to “revise” the Bill of Rights due to it being “outdated,” asking students to amend the U.S. Constitution which the lesson said “may not remain in its current form any longer.”
In the past, high school students have also been reprimanded for displaying images of the American flag on their chest during a school-sponsored lip-dub video, and a student was suspended and arrested after he wore a shirt in support of the NRA and the Second Amendment.
It’s clear public schools are foisting a curriculum upon unsuspecting students which encourages globalist principles, and cultivating an environment which opposes anything promoting American sovereignty, free speech, the Second Amendment or individuality.
In the years to come, the deceptive teaching methods used to not-so-subtly indoctrinate young Americans will be made more obvious, hidden in plain sight, but the progressive dissolution of the America we all once knew and loved will continue unfazed.. that is, unless enough people become aware and shape a different future.
