Reporter Ari Natter Detained For Asking Question To EPA Admin
Daily Caller reported in an article that a reporter was arrested for doing his job.
EPA Administrator GinaMcCarthy
Don’t ask any questions
Neither the tweets nor the article provided the insidious question Natter had asked to land him in detainment. However, the message is clear:, ‘Do not ask questions.’
spoke about renewable energy issues, including the proposed cut back on the amount of ethanol refiners. The refiners are supposedly blending ethanol into gasoline in order to avoid economic calamity. also discussed the Obama administration view of the environmental policy and energy going hand in hand.
“The energy issues and the environmental issues we are facing today are really two sides of the same coin,” she said.
Eventually released
It is reported that Natter was eventually let go after police checked with the superiors and ran a background check on the reporter, to determine he had the proper press credentials.
After consulting with his superiors and running a background check the police have let me go.— Ari Natter (@AriNatter) March 28, 2014.@alexcguillen: Not the first time I have been threatened with arrest for doing my job as a reporter. Probably not the last either.
Natter also noted his question was never answered by McCarthy. Natter had asked the Capitol police to inquire the question for them, if they dare.
While the article’s story provided us a clear view of reporters being detained, simply doing their job, another element is at play here.
- 1) It is clear if the wrong questions are made to the federal government, they will detain you, without answering.
- 2) They are running background checks to ensure proper press credentials are in order.
The writer understands the proper paperwork may be needed to be in conferences. However, a background check in order to validate press credentials? This harkens back to Senator Dianne Feinstein calling for only certain so called “legitimate journalist”, going so far to create a new amendment.
The Bill of Rights, created by the founders provided a legitimate “free press” already. It does not call for specific papers in order to question the national or state governments.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Those curbing this right are nothing more than dictators.

Atheism has now officially gone online with its own television channel. A New Jersey-based atheist group started the first ever on-demand TV channel dedicated to godlessness, according to Daily News. The new channel, AtheistTV, plans to be launched this summer (July) to reach out to other atheists.
Atheist TV – a new channel designed for godlessness
The channel plans to reach out to humanists, freethinkers, an others looking for a way out of faith. The spokesman, Dave Muscato, believes it is about time.
“There’s a glut of religious TV programming out there, from televangelists to Christmas specials,” spokesman Dave Muscato told The News. “But there’s no atheist channel. We wanted to fill that void.”
The production studio of is based out of their national headquarters in . Currently their public access show “Atheist Viewpoint” has been recorded there already, and is in their 20th season. Distribution of the show, currently hits 50 markets across the country.
Interestingly, the will also join AtheistTV to help provide additional content, along with their “Atheist Viewpoint” footage.
The AtheistTV channel will be available on Roku. Currently Roku has more than 300 faith-based channels. Atheist believes this new channel will provide an additional outlet for those questioning their religion.
Muscato also hopes the channel will encourage people who doubt their faith to come out as atheist.
“We’ll have shows about philosophy, science, history,” Muscato said. “A critical examination of the facts.”
Along with providing philosophy, science and history through the Atheist worldview, the channel will provide answers for doubting questions current pastors have made.
“When somebody leaves their religion, they don’t necessarily know everything about the Big Bang,” Muscato said. “This will fill in the gaps in knowledge that pastors have left behind.
is a national advocacy group for nonthiests. Their spokesman , informed a crowd of 100 why they plan to go into television.
“Why are we going to television?” he asked the audience, a mix of about 100 students and people from the local community. “It’s part of our strategy of going where we are not.”
Silverman also said the AtheistTV will provide atheist content 24 hours, 7 days a week, with an estimation of reaching 7 million households. “We are envisioning a lot of different content from many different atheist content creators,” said Dave Muscato, ’ director of communications. “We are hoping to sign on many other atheists who create videos currently on and other places.”
Atheism is defined as;
1. Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods.
2. The doctrine that there is no God or gods.

Pedophilia
Shh. There is a secret in Hollywood, and it doesn’t involve how to get thin, or look sexy. The secret is a bunch of pedophiles ravaging young actors and actresses and getting away with it. Entertainments to A-list stars have been forcing their own sexual depravity on young vulnerable children, and no-one is doing anything about it. This is what is conveyed in a new article by Michelle Malkin. However, she isn’t the first to speak out on child predators within the Hollywood ranks. Hollywood’s secret is pedophilia.
The issue of child rape has been raised since Allison Arngrim (played ), former “Little House on the Prairie” child star wrote about it in her book, ‘Confessions of a Prairie Bitch”, about her relative abusing her. She went public of her own story, and became active in National Association to Protect Children.
The current most outspoken child actor is . In the short lived show Corey vs Corey, each discussed their sexual abuse by Hollywood moguls. After Corey Haim’s death, began to get more vocal of the issue of Hollywood’s dirty secret.
“I can tell you that the number one problem in Hollywood was and still is and always will be pedophilia. That’s the biggest problem, for children in this industry… It’s all done under the radar, pedophilia is the big secret. I was surrounded by them when I was 14 years old, surrounded, they were everywhere like vultures.” –
The issue appears to be these vultures protect themselves, and make money for the company.
“There was a circle of older men that surrounded themselves around this group of kids. They all had their own power or connections to great power in the entertainment industry.” – Corey Feldman In Feldman’s book, ‘Coreygraphy’, due to be released in October, details some of the most heinous acts perpetrated with him and friend/co-star .
“Within hours of our first meeting, we found ourselves talking about ‘,’ the film he made in the summer of 1985, the role I had wanted for myself,” Feldman writes. “At some point during the filming, he explained an adult male convinced him that it was perfectly normal for older men and younger boys in the business to have sexual relations, that it was what all ‘guys do.’
What is frightening is these pedophiles remain in Hollywood.
The man who abused on the set of “,” now “walks around, one of the most successful people in the entertainment industry, still making money hand over fist,” Feldman writes, without naming the big shot.

Some of the predator’s names have been released.
- Martin Weiss, a 47 year-old Hollywood manager who represented multiple child actors.
- Jason James Murphy, a 35 year-old casting agent, who frequented young clients.
- , an Internet video mogul.
- , X-men director.
- , a veteran television executive.
- David Neuman, a former executive.
- Gary Goddard, a former producer.
Just last month, child actor Michael Egan filed civil suits against two top
executive and producers. Egan reported in his suit, David Neuman, Garry Goddard, and Garth Ancier would pass young underage boys around “like pieces of meat at sex parties” in the late 1990’s.
This new lawsuit shows Hollywood’s pedophilia occurring for at least 20 years (80’s and 90’s).
Time will tell if the main stream news media (owned by these same men in power) will make this horror story transparent.
Scientist Creates New DNA

We have heard of patients requiring specific blood types, or donors requiring similar organs, due to the issue of compatibility. This is because our bodies reject the alien or imitated DNA within the blood and organs. However, scientists have now figured how to trick the DNA and ignore the imitation. Scientist have created a new “base pair,” one that is not found in nature.
The Hope
Researchers, for the first time ever, have created microbes that contain artificial DNA. Their hope is to create new antibiotics, vaccines, and other medical products. Scientists have essentially created two additions to the normal human genetic code.
What it is
“The cells recognized it as natural,” said chemical biologist Floyd Romesberg at in ., who led the research group.
The original article goes onto to say this “demonstrates the feasibility of life-forms based on a different DNA code.” This can lead to an expansion of the existing human genetic code, or design living cells to make new medical compounds.
The extra pair of “letters” created in the DNA does not exist or can be found in nature.
“Life on Earth in all its diversity is encoded by only two pairs of DNA bases, A-T and C-G, and what we’ve made is an organism that stably contains those two plus a third, unnatural pair of bases,” explains director of research and associate professor at , Floyd E. Romesberg. “This shows that other solutions to storing information are possible and, of course, takes us closer to an expanded-DNA biology that will have many exciting applications—from new medicines to new kinds of nanotechnology.”
Anyone see an issue with this?

It is not too big a stretch to see this same scenario being played out as proprietary legal issues on altered DNA that creates efficient organs and other enhancements.
Michigan Citizens lose Right to Farm
Michigan’s new changes to remove their “Farm Act” protection will have serious consequences for many urban and suburban backyard farmers, who raise small numbers of animals. The backyard and urban farming was protected by Michigan’s Right to Farm Act, but no longer.
Kim White, who raises chickens and rabbits, said, “They don’t want us little guys feeding ourselves. They want us to go all to the big farms. They want to do away with small farms and I believe that is what’s motivating it.”
Specifically, the new ruling will allow local governments to ban goats, chickens and beehives on any property where there are 13 homes within one eighth mile or a residence within 250 feet of the property. The ruling is not simply an urban or suburban concern.
A six and half acre home to 150 hens, providing eggs to a local co-op and local restaurant will also be affected. Shady Grove Farm, in Gwinn, Michigan also provides wool from sheep, a few turkeys and chicken for meat to provide fresh local poultry, in addition to their 150 laying hens. Randy Buchler told The Blaze about Shady Grove Farm. “Everything we do here is 100 percent natural — we like to say it’s beyond organic. We take a lot of pride and care in what we’re doing here.”
The UN Farming Report in 2010 called for more organic and small-scale farmers in the food systems and an answer to feeding the world.
Chefs are also pushing more local farmers and push for “farm to table”.
Many Americans are attempting to start growing out of their own backyards, providing additional home-grown vegetables, and fresh eggs for their families, as food prices increase. Rosalind Creasy grew in her 100-square foot garden in 2008 was $683.43.
Yet, in a special session, the Michigan Commission of and Rural Development removed the Right to Farm projection for their citizens. The vote, 4-1, approved the Site Selection Generally Accepted Management Practices (GAAMPs) which included the controversial, “if the site is determined to be primarily residential, and zoning doesn’t allow agriculture as a use by right.”
Oklahoma HB2351 Common Sense Zero-Tolerance Act
The Oklahoma legislature has created another common sense bill about zero tolerance. The bill titled, “Common Sense Zero-Tolerance Act,” eases school rules when it comes to fake weapons. House Bill 2351 (HB2351) was first read February 3, 2014.
House Bill 2351 states schools shall not “punish, humiliate, intimidate, be condescending to, or bully a student” who has possession of a toy weapon.”
The bill also states:
“No school district, school administrator, teacher or other school employee shall punish, humiliate, intimidate, be condescending to, or bully a student, including suspension of the student…”
The bill also prevents schools from punishing its students who simply use their finger or hand to simulate a weapon, making sounds of an imaginary firearm, or drawing pictures of firearms. The bill was proposed by Republican .
“Real intent, real threats and real weapons should always be dealt with immediately. We need to stop criminalizing children’s imagination and childhood play,” explained , Republican from .
While the bill appears to be common sense, and an attempt to remove liberal teachers and educators from their over sensitivity with zero-tolerance, the Oklahoma Education Association isn’t on board with the proposed law.
“I fully trust Oklahoma educators to handle student discipline in an appropriate case-by-case manner. The proposed legislation removes local control from teachers, counselors, administrators and local school boards. Educators are degreed professionals, trained and experienced in dealing with children,” explained O.E.A President Linda Hampton.
Power struggle between legislation and Board of Education?
does not provide federal government the authority over public schools. That right was given to each state.
Oklahoma Constitution Article 8, Section 5 states in part, “The supervision of instruction in the public schools shall be vested in a Board of Education, whose powers and duties shall be prescribed by law.”
Oklahoma Constitution Article 8, Section 5 states in part, “The supervision of instruction in the public schools shall be vested in a Board of Education, whose powers and duties shall be prescribed by law.”
Oklahoma legislation does have the authority to create laws in regards to the public school system. The O.E.A. President appears to believe the law lessens the teacher’s authority over the students.
Zero-Tolerance Examples
However, when we review other states adopting Zero-tolerance within their schools, common-sense has also gone away.
An 11 year old in faced an all-day in-school suspension for mimicking a firearm with his hand.
A 6 year old in suburban . was suspended by making his hand into the shape of a gun.

$6 Billion Dollars Go Missing Under Hillary Clinton’s Watch

While the news feeds continue to whisper a possible Hillary Clinton for President In 2016, others are asking, where’s the money? The U.S. State Department lost an astounding 6 billion (with a B) dollars while Clinton played Secretary of State.
Money? What Money?
The cash was to be used in paying contractors. However, the cash and the documents that would allow a paper trail to determine its whereabouts disappeared. We have $6 billion tax dollars gone. We have the proper paperwork to help locate the $6 billion dollars also gone.
Anyone check Sandy Berger’s pants?
“An inability to file paperwork properly and a “lack of internal control at the department has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years,” State Department Inspector General Steve Linick said in a “management alert” made public Thursday.”
This knowledge was provided by a released IG’s alert. The alert was published on March 20, but only made available to the public this week.
The report provides insight on several examples of “poor contract file administration”. One example provided in the report identified 33 missing contracts worth a total of $2.1 billion dollars.
48 out of 82 contracts were found missing the required documentation required by federal law.
Papers? What Papers?
Another case showed a contract file conveniently omitted that a $52 million deal was awarded to a company owned by the spouse of another State Department contractor employee performing as a specialist.
In other cited cases a contracting officer actually falsified government technical review information in a $100 million deal and a contracting officer’s representative allowed nearly $800,000 to be paid on a deal with no official documents to support the payment. It’s the free-flow of public funds under extremely suspicious circumstances.
Only Contracting Officers have the authority to contractually bind the United States Government. This authority is vested in the executive agency, which then delegates this authority by issuing a certificate of appointment or “warrant.”
The U.S. Department of State does provide a contracting officer handbook. I have yet been able to identify specific names of the contracting officer(s).
As the government continues to grow, we will only see more of these scandals or ineptness of our government continues. Will we see Hillary Clinton before Congress once again, this time being questioned
about the $6 billion dollars missing, due to negligence or poor management?
The world controlled by Lucifer and his followers?
This is some scary stuff. I am nearly half-way through it, making notes.
United States Flag – Should it Be Hung Upside Down?

Why have people been displaying flag upside down? It is an official signal of distress. Some believe this to be disrespectful. Should this be viewed as a sign of distress or a sign of disrespect?
Title 36, U.S.C. Chapter 10 as amended by P.L. 344, 94th Congress, Approved July 7, 1976 it states,
“No disrespect should be shown to the flag of of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.”
What does disrespect actually mean, other than dipping it to any person or thing? Not allowing the flag to touch the ground is pretty much known. Disrespect can be defined as “to regard or treat without respect; regard or treat with contempt or rudeness.”
Note some have also written on the flag while holding it upside down.

Flag Code, Title 4, Chapter 1 8(a)
“The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.”
Dire distress, protest or disrespect?
Some are flying the flag upside down for the sake of protest. However, under the code, the flying of the flag should only be done in “extreme danger to life or property.” This is why many in the service find the upside down flag to be disrespectful.
Over time many have desecrated the flag, via burning or other means. These normally were upheld as freedom of expression, or the judicial branch had no interest or found nothing sufficiently compelling to justify legal restriction.
Many flew the flag upside down after the election of 2012, showing protest against the , on Obama’s winning the Presidency.

flew his flags upside down, having signs reading “No Hope” and “Enslaved by the 47 Percent.” Believing the display would incite passers-by, said, “I seriously feel this country is in dire distress.”

“A lot of us fought and died for freedom of speech,” Mr. Vance said. “But it seems to me there are more respectful ways to express your political opinions. Whether you like the president or not, he is the commander in chief of the United States of America.”
