The Food Safety Modernization Act looks like it’s headed to become law. It’s being hailed as a “breakthrough” achievement in food safety, and it would hand vast new powers and funding to the FDA so that it can clean up the food supply and protect all Americans from food-borne pathogens. There’s just one problem with all this: It’s all a big lie.

Judge Napolitano talks Constitution and exposing government lies.

In November of 2008, trend forecaster Gerald Celente said that by 2012 “putting food on the table is going to be more important that putting gifts under the Christmas tree.” Given the current unemployment situation in America, it’s no longer difficult to imagine this being the case.

Love him or hate him, very few people in this world are willing to take the kind of risks Julian Assange takes by releasing confidential and secret documents from governments, military, and private industry.

If what happened on Friday across America is any indication of the condition of the America populace, then our very foundations are built of sand.

We realize that the goings on in Europe are not the concern of the majority of Americans – we’ve got plenty of problems right here at home – but, consider what may happen to US stocks, bonds and our economy in general if Europe collapses.

In Spain they have an annual running of the bulls, often dangerous, sometimes deadly. In America, we have our own version. It’s called Black Friday, a day when seemingly calm humans are transformed into animals.

Tactically, the tip of the spear is a bit of a blitzkrieg– an unexpected onslaught of firepower and destruction that takes the enemy by surprise, scatters his resources, and fractures his morale. I’m convinced that what we’re seeing right now from the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the tip of the spear in the government’s battle for increased control of the public.

Surprisingly, not everyone feels like their rights are being violated, including Bloomberg columnist Margaret Carlson who recently penned a piece attacking all of those would-be domestic extremist opt-outters as prudes for not wanting their nude bodies visible to anyone within eye shot of a backscatter.

If the American people fail this time as we did with bailouts and healthcare, the end result will be backscatter machines in schools, malls, stadiums, and any other public venue which is deemed a security threat by our government.

Matt Kernan refused to be backscatter scanned for health reasons and informed TSA officials that if he was intrusively patted down he would consider the action assault and would subsequently file charges against TSA personnel. Like John “Don’t Touch My Junk” Tyner, Mr. Kernan recorded the engagement on his iPhone after advising TSA and the police department that he would do so.
