There is no question: Military and tattoos go together naturally like blood and guts. Yet, a new Army rule may ban tattoos. The new rule was approved by Secretary of the Army John McHugh, but not yet signed. The order would ban tattoos from the forearms, below the knee, or above the neckline. Tattoos deemed offensive must be removed regardless of location, and the soldier is required to pay for the removal.

What is considered to be offensive? Watching R.Lee Ermey playing the role as Gunnery Sargent Hartmann in Full Metal Jacket, I cannot imagine what could be offensive. Yet, the Army has found some tattoos distasteful.

Those tattoos or brands affiliated with “depicting, or symbolizing extremist philosophies, organizations, or activities.” I am not sure what these could be. Perhaps Marxism or Socialist red diaper babies would count. My fear is that it could include Patriotic or Constitutional symbols.

The list of offensive tattoos also lists sexist tattoos that degrade a person based on gender. Are women in the service offended?

The perception of Congress acquiring incentives from some companies or special groups, while providing inside votes is nothing new. However, what if the special interest is a particular very wealthy family, namely the Rothschild family? It has been reported John Mccain may have been ”accepting improper contributions” from the Rothschild family during a recent trip to London.

During John Mccain’s March visit in the United Kingdom, Lord Rothschild and Nathaniel Rothschild hosted a fundraising luncheon at London’s Spencer house. The luncheon called for lounge suites, and the cost was $1000 to $2,300 per ticket. Inquires have been made from Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president. “The question is whether or not the Rothschilds paid for the event, the venue, the catering, or any other related costs,”

The Rothschild family is an empire with a net worth around $300- $400 billion range. This is only an estimate, since a true account cannot be ascertained due to the complications of how much their involvement is.

There is a very concerning scenario in play. Having the gang of eight with the traitor Majority Leader, Harry Reid, piece-mealing a comprehensive immigration bill in the back room looks to become a possible reality.

The so-called gang of eight consists of eight Senators, four Republicans and four Democrats, working on the immigration overhaul. On the right, we have Marc Rubio (FL), Jeff Flake (Az), John Mccain (Az), and Lindsey Graham (SC). On the left you have Dick Durbin (IL), Robert Menendez (NJ), Chuck Schumer (NY), and Michael Bennet (CO).

Their proposed immigration legislation is a 1200-page mammoth, providing the Senators only 72 hours to read before the votes begin. Sounds familiar to the famous “pass it to know what’s in it” Nancy Pelosi mentality. This mammoth law is not believed to pass as is.

I wrote an earlier article titled, Educating the Youth with anti-gun ideology, describing how schools are teaching another version of the second amendment. Author T.E. Manley goes into this issue exposing the new curriculum hitting the schools, via the common core.

DownTrend has released a new article, reporting on Eric Holder admitting to brainwashing the kids, via the public schools.

In a C-SPAN video a younger Eric Holder conveys the idea of brainwashing children about guns. The speech he provides in the video, from 1995, discussing the best way to destroy the US Constitution is in the same manner of putting a bad image on smoking cigarettes. By repetition and starting with the youth, until the goal is achieved. This form of indoctrination is nothing new. The question is, should the destruction of Constitutional ideals be allowed within the United States Public School System? If not, who can stop this ideaology from being forced on our children?

According to an American cyber security company for nearly two years China has been hacking foreign defense contractors. What are they looking for? Drone technology, according to Darien Kindlund, manager of threat intelligence, FireEye.

“I believe this is the largest campaign we’ve seen that has been focused on drone technology,”said Darien Kindlund, manager of threat intelligence at the company, FireEye, based in California. “It seems to align pretty well with the focus of the Chinese government to build up their own drone technology capabilities.”

FireEye, has prepared a report called Operation Beebus, associating the attacks back to China.

Project 2049 Institute, based out of Virginia, conveys that using cyber-attacks to acquire knowledge is only one tool for the effort of purchasing or developing drones, both foreign and domestic.

China denies their government has sanctioned such activity. However, the attacks were identified to be from the group Comment Crew, out of the People’s Liberation Army, Shanghai.

With the advent of the recent school shootings, discussion has been brought in the forefront on gun control and confiscation. This argument, technically, started with the Second Amendment in writing, but has not stopped, even to this day.

Groups like Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Bear Arms have been created to promote education and understanding to the citizens about gun rights and bearing arms.

The debate has skewed many false premises on the subject, leaving confusion and misunderstanding regarding what is legal and what is illegal for the common citizen rights to bear arms. Each state has specific laws and regulations regarding firearms. Recently Oklahoma approved open carry for those licensed gun carriers. Gun rights advocates won a victory in Colorado, by removing two lawmakers supporting gun control in the state legislature. On the other end of the spectrum cities like Chicago with stricter gun control is faced with high gang-related violence. The strict gun control does not stop the guns in Chicago.

In 2008, Obama commented anyone can build a Coal plant, but it would bankrupt them, due to the high sum being charged to the plant. During that same interview, he did state, if unable to find a means to use coal, without emmissions, then alternative energy sources would be worked on.

It appears that promise has come into fruition on Obama’s second term. At least half of it. The massive regulations on the coal industry will be implemented, regardless of having those alternative energy sources.

“Linking global warming to public health, disease and extreme weather, the Obama administration pressed ahead Friday with tough requirements to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, despite protests from industry and from Republicans that it would mean a dim future for coal.”

USA Today has released a new document, citing newly uncovered IRS documents showing how the agency flagged political groups based on the content of their literature, namely Anti-Obama language.

The list contained 162 groups by name, with specific comments from the Internal Revenue Service lawyers in Washington. This obviously raises eyebrows, and questions why the IRS is being used as a Nazi style police to search out non-Obama groups requesting a tax exempt 501c.

In August 2012 the Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Douglas Shulman testified on the Hill before the House Oversight Committee

In an unprecedented action, Obama waives ban on arming terrorist to allow aid to Syrian opposition. According to the Washington Times, a “provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to ‘vetted’ opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.” According to the President of the United States, he has the authority to waive the ban, citing the Arms Export Control Act. The waiver is for sections 40 and 40A of the Arms Export Control Act. The Arms Export Control Act “provides Read More:

Gotta love Morgan Freeman. Guess, many believed it was he not Nelson Mandela that had died. Notice Freeman even recognizes Mandela as a terrorist.

Yet, President Barack Obama wishes to have the American flag fly at half-mast for the terrorist.

 Some Sheriff's are refusing to fly their flags at half-mast, rightly so. The honor goes to Americans, not terrorist.

 South Carolina Sheriff Rick Clark, conveys his opinion on the matter. "To show a sign of respect for what Nelson Mandela's done, I have no problem with lowering it in South Africa, in their country," Clark told a local television station. "But in our country, it should be the people, in my opinion, who have sacrificed for
our country."

 

Recently I wrote an article regarding a veteran had his confiscated over a forced psych-evaluation. Appears the Veteran hospitals are doing wellness checks, having local police force veterans to have psychological evaluations. Following up on this article, the veteran is David Schmecker, 50-year old honorably discharged disabled veteran from Connecticut, called george4title (George Hemminger). George provides a youtube channel on gun confiscation.

Part two, new update.

Amazon released their vision of using delivery drones to 60 minutes, providing us a look at their new delivery system. The autonomous delivery vehicles, termed “octopters” could provide your package within 30 minutes. Will FAA allow Amazon to launch their Amazon Prime Air?CEO Jeff Bezoz spent alot air time providing a sneak peek to his Amazon Prime Air program.

The idea is to use electric drones to deliver up to 5 pound packages for trips up to 10 miles, within 30 minutes. Considering Amazon is located throughout United States, this has the potential to reach many. Additionally, 86 percent of the items would be qualified for delivery.

  The idea to use flying drones isn’t really new.


In London, the resturant YO!Sushi, created the new method of delievering burgers on their flying tray. The flagship store in Central London has dubbed their flying drone, iTray. It is a four-propeller flying waiter, being controlled by a nearby human waiter with an iPad. The tray has speeds up to 25 mph.

In California, Tacopter had the idea of a hungry customer ordering on his cellphone, and having his food delivered to the house or office by the quadratic drone. "Thanks to the imagineers at Tacopter, now, wherever I am, by sending my cellphones GPS co-ordinates I can call in a surgical flavour strike that will level my hunger with significant collateral deliciousness."The idea provided the idea, but the startup never lifted off.

 Stemming the idea of using drones for personal use has already been squashed in California. The Bill California SB-15 is passing through the state senate with speed. This came from Senator Alex Padilla for fear of paparazzi using drones for video and picture taking. The bill termed “California Drone Bill” puts restrictions on civilian use, rather than commercial use. Questions remain for Amazon to be able to use their Amazon Prime Air. To date, no blessings from FAA to allow use of domestic drones. Nothing appears to be said till 2015 the earliest. Bezos says it “optimistic” at best.

 While the innovation and desire continues, it appears we continue to wait on the government for approval.

I was able to attend church today. I was glad I did. In a special presentation, the church showed the 30 minute video by Billy Graham, titled "The Cross".


 

My grandmother had always told me Billy Graham is the best movie in our lifetime. I have to pay high respects to him. The video admittedly pulled my heart strings.

While the message was great, it pains me to think we as individuals can only do so much. The biggest thing we can do is make that ultimate decision, when faced with the confrontation of the Cross.

While we celebrate time with the family around these holidays, keep in mind the real reason behind these holidays.

I wonder if PETA is aware of these atrocities. While the video is a year old, US Army Drones catch Afhans raping a sheep.
