The Internet goes dark in Egypt
First, Egypt blocked social networks like Facebook and Twitter. I had no trouble believing the Egyptian government would do that. But, when I first heard that Egypt had blocked the Internet, I was inclined to doubt the stories. Since then though I’ve heard from a technically savvy source, Renesys, an Internet analytics firm, that Egypt really has blocked the vast majority of its Internet connections. In short, the Egyptian government has cut its people off from the Internet. [Read more →]

Ron Paul Introduces HR 6416: The American Traveler Dignity Act
By Michael Nystrom of dailypaul.com
Mr. Speaker, today I introduce legislation to protect Americans from physical and emotional abuse by federal Transportation Security Administration employees conducting screenings at the nation’s airports. We have seen the videos of terrified children being grabbed and probed by airport screeners. We have read the stories of Americans being subjected to humiliating body imaging machines and/or forced to have the most intimate parts of their bodies poked and fondled. We do not know the potentially harmful effects of the radiation emitted by the new millimeter wave machines. [Read more →]

A Historical Perspective on Today’s Tea Parties
By David Barton from wallbuilders.com
America’s first Tea Party in 1773 was not an act of wanton lawlessness but rather a deliberate protest against heavy-handed government and excessive taxation. Its leaders took great care to ensure that nothing but tea was thrown overboard – no other items were damaged. The “Indians” even swept the decks of the ships before they left.

United Nations Takeover?
By Jim Kinney of inspireandignite.com
Did you see the recent headline, “UN Looks to Take Charge of the World’s Agenda.”?
At a recent closed door retreat in a posh Austrian getaway, top UN officials met to
discuss how to advance their global agenda. The papers presented for discussion, are
indicative of the inflated value these bureaucrats give themselves and their agenda
and point out how dangerous their ambitions are. Titles are my paraphrase of the
content of the papers:
Re-ignite the global warming scare
Make global redistribution of wealth a top priority
Expand UN peace keeping (read military) forces around the globe
Eliminate National borders and promote open immigration
Attack national sovereignty and promote the global community
Establish a global currency standard
Open borders, surrender of national sovereignty, support of global warming hoax,
redistribution of wealth—The UN agenda could have been written by this current
administration.

Just how much change do we need?
From Randy Simpson, Seneca TEA Party Organizer
The symbolism in the illustrations below is thought provoking, and I believe it to be accurate. Please read all the way to the bottom of the email. Consider the quotations at the end. I ask you this…if this is the greatest country in the history of the world, why do some want a complete makeover? Duh!
A few things I have learned as a businessman:
