I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; not enlightened enough to exercise their control with wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion. Enlighten the people generally and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.— Thomas Jefferson
To directly answer the rumors: Did the Department of Homeland Security just request to purchase 21,600,000 rounds of handgun ammo? No, not by a long shot.
They purchased 240,000 rounds. That amount is equivalent to just one round per employee of the Department of Homeland Security.

Well, Jay, explain this to me: The most imperial president in
American history, a man who boasts that he will rule by Executive Action if Congress
refuses to pass legislation he favors, can’t figure out how to direct spending
cuts in a way that does the least harm to the American people?
I can’t wait. And what’s more, everyone can get in on the act. Got
a favorite example of government waste and fraud? Sick of watching your
hard-earned dollars get incinerated supporting one egregious boondoggle after
another? Is there a particular program you’d prefer to see cut before they lay
off all the meat inspectors?
Just tweet it to hashtag #SequesterThis and share it with the
world. http://www.forbes.com/sites/billfrezza/2013/02/27/sequester-this-president-obamas-colossal-media-blunder/

The
descriptions of the post-sequester landscape that have been coming out of the
Obama Administration have been alarming, specific–and, in at least some cases,
hyped.
“There are
literally teachers now who are getting pink slips, who are getting notices that
they can’t come back this fall,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
When he was
pressed in a White House briefing Wednesday to come up with an example, Duncan
named a single county in West Virginia and acknowledged, “whether it’s all
sequester-related, I don’t know.” http://www.theminorityreportblog.com/2013/02/28/obama-administration-credibility-zero-teacher-pink-slips-claim-by-duncan-not-backed-by-evidence/

Historians spend their lives looking backwards. Futurists spend their lives looking forward. My goal has been to blend the two disciplines into one seamless panorama. For if you don’t know the past you have no context for the present, and if you have no context for the present the future appears to be whatever those who shape the present portray it to be. Those who believed the Eternal Empire was truly eternal, those who believed the sun would never set on the British Empire, those who believed in a 1,000 year Reich, and those who believed the USSR was the vision of the future proved those who shape the present always project a future which shows their empire as the one that will never fall.We have sent our fellow citizens to fight long hard slogs in countries whose names are the very synonym for Quagmire. As our economy was being outsourced, our debt monetized, and our infrastructure crumbled we meekly followed our leaders deeper into thankless nation-building campaigns in nation after nation including one that’s resisted and foiled every empire from Alexander to Moscow.

UPDATE: Since this piece was published, the Montana legislature has updated the official vote count as 98-0.
In a huge win for the Bill of Rights, the Montana House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bill to ban indefinite detention in Montana by a vote of 97 to 1. Introduced by state Rep. Nicholas Schwaderer, HB 522 would also “prohibit state cooperation with federal officials” who try to enforce the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The lone no vote was cast by Democrat Bob Mehlhoff. HB 522 previously passed the House Judiciary Committeeunanimously. The bill now heads to the state senate for approval.

Over the past weeks, President Obama has been running around the country like Chicken Little spreading falsehoods about sequester, all in the hopes of blaming a 2% budget cut (which he proposed and signed into law) for an anemic economy that might be headed into a double-dip recession. Simply put, the White House and its media are pushing this fabricated Narrative in the hopes of shifting blame away from Obama's failed economic policies and onto the GOP and a lack of government largess.
If our economy crashes, Obama wants to blame sequester; he wants to argue that our economic woes are caused by a government that isn't big enough, and that he needs a Democrat-controlled House to correct that. It's an audaciously dishonest plot, and it almost worked. The monkeys in the wrench, though, have been little things called facts, a Republican Party refusing to blink, and one brave and honest reporter.- See more at: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/02/28/Obama-Sequester-narrative-implodes#sthash.GgYEtVXg.dpuf

The bite in the apple symbolizes the apple from the Garden Of Eden. When Eve, took a bite out of the apple, she gained knowledge of good and evil. The Apple logo says, that you can use all their produces for good or bad. Personally, I think they couldn't have done it better. We shouldn't blame the problems of radiation and social issues on technology but on the holders of these devices. It is in you hands whether you chose to do good or bad with it. ~ifacebookmuch, April 2011 on "Meaning of the Bite on Apple Logo"

Fortunately for the majority of Americans, the Constitution limits what can be done at the level of the Federal government to constrain the liberties of the average American. While liberals have made gains at reducing individual rights through judicial activism, they face a fight every time they attempt to circumvent the clear intention of the Constitution, as we are seeing now on the issue of gun control.
Liberals, generally quick to avoid an actual political fight when a judicial or bureaucratic fiat can do, have looked for ways to impose their vision on Americans that require less effort than the traditional legislative and legal approaches.
Most non-low information voters are familiar with the Imperial Obama presidency's use of executive orders and the selective enforcement of laws, such as not enforcing laws Obama personally doesn't like, in order to avoid needing to establish any sort of consensus among the peoples' representatives in Congress. While extremely dangerous at the very least, these illegal actions achieve a certain level of notoriety and are recognized as being violations of the limitations of government.
While Americans can survive with smaller sodas at restaurants and without plastic bags, the real issue is what is to prevent local and state governments from introducing far more intrusive limitations on the rights of their citizens? What barrier is there to a state or a local government requiring that bookstores not carry certain books? If those same governments can restrict who can and can't own a gun and what type of gun they can own, thereby circumventing the intent of the Second Amendment, why are we to believe that the First Amendment will be honored?

President Barack Obama will meet with House and Senate leaders Friday morning, but nobody expects a last-minute solution. More likely — a month of tense and complicated negotiations with Congress and the White House trying to address the $85 billion in domestic cuts at the same time they try to fund the government through the rest of the fiscal year before money runs out March 27.
And if the cuts aren’t addressed? There’s more pain for everyone: Furlough notices could turn into office closures, federal tax returns could take longer to process and hurricane season could see fewer forecasters tracking storms.

A senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander has warned America and Europe that al-Qaida operatives will soon attack them.
And a source in the Islamic regime’s Intelligence Ministry told WND that another terror team is about to enter the United States. Should the West not accept Iran’s rights to its nuclear program within six months, the terrorists will attack, he said.

Here are 10 ways that you can help collapse all of the pyramids of control.
1. Media and Intelligence - Information is knowledge and knowledge is power — this is where it all starts. Turn off the TV, stop passively receiving information that turns you into an idiot at the teat of the “idiot box.” Get creative: start a blog, a neighborhood newsletter, radio show, public access TV or YouTube channel, write encouraging letters to companies you appreciate and nasty ones to those you boycott; DO something; anything to increase awareness. Homeschooling is another great way to help short circuit the negative influences of systematic programming. Even if you don’t agree with homeschooling, or are not able, there are concepts that you can help introduce into your public school to enhance education. Intelligence – there aretechnologies to thwart constant surveillance, as well as low-tech solutions to high-tech tyranny. The Internet is being used to surveil the public, but it also provides an opportunity for the public to surveil and report the real criminals. Use the system against itself.
