Under this new council, states&#39; coastal jurisdictions will be subject to the United Nations&#39; Law Of Sea Treaty (LOST) in this UN Agenda 21 program. America&#39;a oceans and coastlines will be broken into 9 regions that include the North East, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, the Gulf Coast, West Coast, the Great Lakes, Alaska, the Pacific Islands (including Hawaii) and the Caribbean.

 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Because of the decades of difficulty that the collectivists have had trying to ratify the Law Of Sea Treaty (LOST), Obama is sneaking it in through the back door, by way of this Executive Order establishing the Council. Because LOST is a treaty, Obama&#39;s Executive Order is not Constitutional as treaty ratification requires 2/3 approval from the Senate. Michael Shaw said that the Agenda 21 Convention on Biodiversity treaty of 1992 failed to pass Congress so it was executed through soft law and administratively on local levels, and Obama&#39;s Executive Order is a similar soft law tactic to enact the LOST treaty.</description> <pubDate>Fri, 30 Jul 2010 09:54:39 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Ron Paul endorses Rick Torres for US Congress</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6478/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6478/</guid> <description>Republican Rick Torres was endorsed today by Congressman Ron Paul. Speaking from his Campaign HQ in Bridgeport this afternoon Rick Torres said &quot;It is It is with great honor that today I accept the endorsement of Congressman Ron Paul. I have spoken to Congressman Paul several times over the course of the Campaign and I look forward to working with him after I defeat Jim Himes this November. This endorsement further solidifies my Conservative principles and demonstrates that I am best suited to beat Jim Himes this November.&quot;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Mr. Torres added &quot;This endorsement is our second major endorsement in as many days. Yesterday Republican Liberty Caucus endorsed me after withdrawing their endorsement of Rob Merkle. Congressman Ron Paul&#39;s endorsement today is nothing short of a game-changer. The momentum is at our back. Our polling indicates that our message is rapidly gaining. With this endorsement we are all the more confident that we will win on August 10th.&quot;

Quick Summary of their Complaint:&lt;br&gt;
The Mayor has refused to release the current budget, and would not answer how many part time workers their local govt. employed, nor would they answer how much tax payer money is allocated to landscaping/mowing grass in public areas.
The gentleman in the yellow shirt states that he has found patterns of cover up and corruption in the Mayor&#39;s staff. He asks for transparency and reminds the elected officials that they are public servants...

Generations of teens have followed that formula to gain the freedom that comes from getting behind the wheel. But in this recession-troubled year, the ranks of new teen motorists appears to be shrinking dramatically.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Sarah Marron, 18, braves the packed Department of Motor Vehicles in Colorado Springs, Colo., to get her license. It might be that they&#39;re busier, more apprehensive about driving, lack money for insurance and gas or hindered by tougher restrictions on teens, but the number of 16 and 17-year-olds with licenses has gradually declined over the last several years, according to state data.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Five years ago, 7.5 million used cars were sold for use by teenagers. This year, the market has shrunk to 4.2 million, according to CNW Research. It&#39;s not just because fewer used cars are being sold overall: In 2005, 17.4% of used cars were destined for teens. Now it&#39;s 10.9%.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&quot;Reflecting the jobs market, there has been a serious decline in the number of teens who make a full payment for their vehicle to parents -- down from 21% to 16% while parents are paying the full price in 44% of the cases vs. 43.5%,&quot; CNW states. More than 27% of teens haven&#39;t worked part or full time in the last 12 months, more than double the teen unemployment figure of 2005.</description> <pubDate>Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:43:52 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Moody&#39;s says US needs debt plan to keep rating-DJ</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6473/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6473/</guid> <description>July 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. government needs to elaborate a credible plan to address its soaring debt in order to maintain its Aaa credit rating, Moody&#39;s Investors Service&#39;s told Dow Jones newswire.

Appeal to authority teaches nothing. Science is about why and how. Climate &quot;science&quot; is not real science. Its professors are not qualified or worthy to teach at American universities.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
“Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts” is how the great Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman defined science in his article “What is Science?” Feynman emphasized this definition by repeating it in a stand-alone sentence in extra large typeface in his article. (Feynman’s essay is available online, but behind a subscription wall: The Physics Teacher (1969) volume 7, starting page 313.)
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Immediately after his definition of science, Feynman wrote: “When someone says, ‘Science teaches such and such,’ he is using the word incorrectly. Science doesn’t teach anything; experience teaches it. If they say to you, ‘Science has shown such and such,’ you should ask, ‘How does science show it? How did the scientists find out? How? What? Where?’ It should not be ‘science has shown.’ And you have as much right as anyone else, upon hearing about the experiments (but be patient and listen to all the evidence) to judge whether a sensible conclusion has been arrived at.”</description> <pubDate>Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:37:56 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Elephant In The Border Shack</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6471/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6471/</guid> <description>I’m very concerned about what I consider to be a blindingly obvious fact. There’s actually an argument right now about immigration. This is completely ludicrous. Worse yet, the argument is about how to curtail it and “protect our borders”. If this wasn’t so infinitely offensive it would be hilarious. I won’t go into the racism arguments because I honestly believe those are beside the point. No, I’m outraged by the sheer lunacy of the arguments being made on both sides.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The standard “anti-migrant” argument is that these people who come here and steal “our” jobs, destroy “our” property values, steal “our” tax money and commit horrible crimes against “our” people. The standard “pro-migrant” argument is, first of all, very few migrants do those things and secondly they bring with them valuable resources in the form of labor and cultural diversity. I stand dumbfounded by the idea that either side would even broach those subjects at all! Do people really believe any of that is relevant to the debate? Do you think so?</description> <pubDate>Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:32:26 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Pharmaceutical drug contamination of waterways threatens life on our planet</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6470/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6470/</guid> <description>(NaturalNews) The President&#39;s Cancer Panel (PCP) recently released its yearly report to the President outlining the status of cancer in America. This year&#39;s report focuses primarily on environmental factors that contribute to cancer risk. According to the report, pharmaceutical drugs are a serious environmental pollutant, particularly in the way they continue to contaminate waterways across the country (and the world).
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Many reports have recently appeared about pharmaceutical contamination of water supplies, rivers, lakes and other waterways, but spokespersons from the drug and chemical industries have denied that this pollution poses any risk whatsoever to the environment. But this report, issued directly from PCP, provides a stunning indictment of the dangers associated with pharmaceutical pollution.

Today, she placed an injunction on the implementation of the most important parts of Arizona&#39;s new anti-illegal immigration law. Specifically, until the courts review the law in more detail, Arizona cannot legally require police officers to ask suspected illegal immigrants about their immigration status, nor can it require legal immigrants to carry proof of their status. Neither can illegal immigrants be arrested simply for being illegal. The chief justification for this ruling was the idea that “Requiring Arizona law enforcement officials and agencies to determine the immigration status of every person who is arrested burdens lawfully-present aliens because their liberty will be restricted while their status is checked.” In other words, some people who are not illegal immigrants could be potentially inconvenienced by the law, and thus it cannot go into effect. Bolton also expressed sympathy for federal authorities, which could be swamped by task of processing the illegal aliens caught up in the Arizona dragnet. After all, we could not possibly ask of the federal government that it enforce its own laws – doing so would be a tiresome chore...

In fact, it is on its way, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. It’s just a matter of when.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In an effort to appease disappointed progressives at the liberal Netroots gathering in Las Vegas, Reid remarked, “Now I know you wish some of these reforms were even more sweeping and believe me I do, too. But we also have to be realists. I wish we had a public option. But we’re going to have a public option. It’s a question of when”.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The process is already underway. The Public Option Act, a bill that would add the public option to the healthcare law, was introduced by 128 Democrats to the United States House of Representatives last week.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This should come as a shock both to Americans who voiced their dissatisfaction with the public option, as well as the Congressmen who willingly eliminated the public option from the healthcare law as a means to acquire the necessary support for the bill’s passage.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The public option would create a government-run health insurance agency that would compete with other health insurance companies. Critics like CATO Institute’s Michael F. Cannon and Senator Charles Grassley seized upon the government’s inefficient running of Medicaid and Medicare as pathetic examples of what government-run healthcare looks like.</description> <pubDate>Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:06:15 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Urgent National Online Poll: Who Will You Support In 2012?</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6462/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6462/</guid> <description>Western Center for Journalism

Comments are encouraged.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Friend –
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
When you and I set out on this journey three years ago, we knew that ours would be a lengthy struggle to build a new foundation for this country — one that would require squaring off against the special interests who had spent decades stacking the deck in their favor.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Today, it is clear that you have shifted the odds.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This morning, I signed into law a bill that represents the most sweeping reforms of Wall Street since the Great Depression, and the toughest consumer financial protections this nation has ever seen. I know that I am able to do so only because the tens of thousands of volunteers who make up the backbone of this movement overcame the most potent attack ads and the most powerful lobbying the special interests could put forward.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Our special-interest opponents and their Republican allies have now set their sights on the elections in November as their best chance to overturn the historic progress we’ve made together.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Organizing for America counts entirely on supporters like you to fight back — no special interests, no corporate PACs. To keep making change and to defend the change we have already won, we need you — and at least 14 other people in your area — to contribute so we have the resources necessary going into the election.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Please donate $5 today and help Organizing for America lay the groundwork for the fights ahead.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Because of Wall Street reform, we will ensure that Americans applying for a credit card, a mortgage, or a student loan will never again be asked to sign their name under pages of confusing fine print. We will crack down on abusive lending practices and make sure that lenders don’t cheat the system — and create a new watchdog to enforce these consumer protections...</description> <pubDate>Thu, 22 Jul 2010 09:50:24 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Congressman Stark on Border &#39;You Design the Wall, I&#39;ll Sell a Whole Lotta Ladders&#39;</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6385/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6385/</guid> <description>Congressman Stark says some amazing things in this video

&quot;There is no question that when they are apprehended they are deported&quot;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Stark then suggests the THE reason illegals DON&#39;T commit crime is fear of deportation? 
&lt;br&gt;
&quot;The reasons that you have such a low incident of crime among those people who are here without documentation is too scared they know that if they are arrested for a crime they will be turned over to the immigration authorities which they tried to avoid&quot;

Many of America’s editorial writers are screaming for stepped-up U.S. counterterrorism strikes in Somalia against the group. This option would be the worst possible course of action.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Many leading American newspapers and government officials see the soccer bombings as part of an ominous trend of local terror groups going international. As evidence they also cite al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s attempted bombing of a U.S.-bound airliner on Christmas day, the Pakistani Taliban’s assistance of the clumsy attempt to bomb New York’s Times Square, and the recent arrest in Norway and Germany of three members of a separatist group from western China for allegedly orchestrating a terrorist bomb plot. Yet these international attacks by local groups, as with the strikes by the Somali al-Shabab, aren’t coming out of nowhere with radical Islamism as their sole cause, as the editorial writers imply. The groups are unforgivably attempting to attack innocent civilians; yet the U.S. government needs to carefully examine why these local groups might be taking their respective shows on the road. This would require looking in the mirror, which can sometimes be tough.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
For example, al-Shabab was a local Islamist group that wasn’t getting much support from Somalia’s mostly moderate Muslims until the United States started supporting corrupt Somali warlords against it. The United States has funneled much economic and military aid into the country, and conducts counterterrorism attacks within its borders. Even now, al-Shabab explicitly said that it targeted Uganda in the soccer bombing because the nation is one of the two countries providing soldiers for the African Union (AU) forces that are combating the group. Also, the United States and its European allies are using Uganda to train Somalis to fight against al-Shabab. The group has threatened future attacks against Uganda and Burundi, the other country providing troops to the AU force, if they did not withdraw from Somalia. Although radical Islam is present, al-Shabab’s main motivation for the international attacks is much the same as the other local Islamist groups—to get rid of foreign interference in their countries.</description> <pubDate>Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:21:32 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title> Liberty Dies in Apathy</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6365/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6365/</guid> <description>Political labels constantly change throughout time, depending on the point and perspective of history that you view it from. For example, the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence were seen as enemies of the state, and from Great Britain’s perspective a charge of high treason was placed upon them. Today, they are looked upon as heroes in the eyes of this great nation of men and women, not only for their great courage but also because of their thought and insight to political philosophy.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
These political labels are often blurred, and the terms liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, Tea Party, and libertarian are used as vague descriptions, insults or for political gain. They mean little and are generalizations that attempt to define us as a person or ideologue. Ousting these labels for myself and others, I have found one thing in common among “We the People”: A common distrust of those in leadership, perpetual propaganda exploited to the people by those in control, and a lack of understanding of our beginnings as a nation and of history as a whole.</description> <pubDate>Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:56:03 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Callahan Campaign Spies on Jake Towne Hall</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6314/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6314/</guid> <description>At the campaign’s 8th “Towne Hall” event where citizens can ask questions and make comments, there was a new addition to the crowd.  The Callahan campaign sent a member to videotape the two hour event.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Jake Towne stated, “I congratulate Callahan for identifying my independent campaign as a threat.  People are tired of Democrats and Republicans alike spending our country into oblivion to the detriment of the people and the benefit of government-sponsored cartels like Wall Street bankers, health care insurance, and the military-industrial complex.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
“A vote for me is a vote for liberty and prosperity, a vote for Callahan or Dent is a vote for continued tyranny and impoverishment.  Callahan was selected by Biden and the White House.  Dent is a Washington insider who has quietly watched and unwittingly helped the economic crash occur over for the past several years.  Even if they had good intentions, dinosaurs went extinct for a reason.  So it will be with Republocrat career politicians.”</description> <pubDate>Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:37:30 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Press TV- The Autograph-Thomas Woods Nullification</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6313/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6313/</guid> <description>An exclusive interview with Thomas Woods, Historian and Author.</description> <pubDate>Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:13:54 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Florida Tenth Amendment Summit..Don&#39;t Miss This on 10/10/10</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6296/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6296/</guid> <description>Florida Tenth Amendment Summit..Don&#39;t Miss This on 10/10/10</description> <pubDate>Wed, 14 Jul 2010 10:13:55 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Former GA Governor Roy Barnes Says Stem Cell, RFID &amp; Nullification Bills Laughable</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6277/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6277/</guid> <description>PoliticalFact.com of Georgia:
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Former Gov. Roy Barnes said Georgia passed laughable legislation
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Georgians, the rest of the country is laughing at you, former Gov. Roy Barnes says. And that means corporations are reluctant to relocate here and give you jobs.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It&#39;s because your state Legislature has done some wacky things, according to the Democrat&#39;s latest campaign commercial, &quot;Travel for Jobs.&quot; In this bid to win his old job back, Barnes took us on a trip down memory lane to recall some of the Legislature&#39;s stranger moments.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&quot;[I]t&#39;s hard for industry to take us seriously when the Legislature attempts to outlaw stem cell research, passes bills about microchips in the brain and talks about seceding from the union,&quot; an announcer said in the ad.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Wait. Microchips? In the brain?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
And secession? Recently?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The Barnes campaign sent us information on all three legislative attempts. All passed the Senate, then withered in the House...CLICK BELOW VIDEO FOR BREAKDOWN OF THE FACTS:</description> <pubDate>Tue, 13 Jul 2010 09:10:50 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Ron Paul &amp; Barney Frank Team Up To Reduce Military Spending!</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6264/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6264/</guid> <description>Ron Paul &amp; Barney Frank Team Up To Reduce Military Spending!</description> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Jul 2010 10:14:11 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Meet Colorado’s Ken Buck, the next Sharron Angle</title> <link>http://libertypulse.com/article/6263/</link> <guid>http://libertypulse.com/article/6263/</guid> <description>You’ve probably heard of Marco, Rand and Sharron. But don’t be surprised if you see the name Ken added to that list of insurgent, Tea Party heroes.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Republican Ken Buck, riding the tide of his unforeseen surging Senate campaign in Colorado, is angling to join the club of once-seen-as-long shot GOP candidates who’ve beat out their so-called establishment Republican primary opponents.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
“I think it is a classic grassroots versus establishment race,” Buck, running for the U.S. Senate in Colorado, said of his primary fight against Lt. Gov. Jane Norton. “And as much as the other side doesn’t want to accept that characterization, the voters are accepting it.”
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In an interview with The Daily Caller, the Weld County district attorney acknowledged the similarities between his contest and those of Rand Paul in Kentucky, Marco Rubio in Florida and Sharron Angle in Nevada. It’s not hard to see.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Like those Tea Party-backed candidates, Buck was written off early in the race against an opponent with establishment support. Many expected him to drop out of the race when Norton jumped in the contest. But Buck stayed in, and in March, he won the GOP caucuses.

This in an effort to make Rand somehow look bad because he believes in Liberty?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
That type of old school mudslinging nonsense was an utter failure and in typical political sickness. They were dedicated to bashing Rand Paul by every means possible!! 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
However, in an ironic and comical twist - the left right political paradigm which is usually used against Liberty candidates is also used to get the Republican/Democrat sheep in line behind the party&#39;s primary winners and NOW this site is suddenly all for Kooky ole Rand Paul:
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Congratulations, Dr. Paul.

&quot;These findings question the safety of deet, particularly in combination with other chemicals,&quot; said researcher Vincent Corbel of Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement in Montpellier.
The chemical known as deet (for N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) is found in nearly every commonly used mosquito repellent in the world, and eight billion doses have been applied since its introduction to the consumer market in 1957. The chemical was originally developed as an insect repellent by the U.S. Army in 1946, following experience with jungle warfare in World War II.</description> <pubDate>Tue, 06 Jul 2010 13:22:42 EDT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
