The U.S. is monitoring increased international tensions in the disputed Senkaku Islands in the South China Sea after twice in three days China sent jet fighters to the “Air Defense Identification Zone” it has declared around the chain.Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/11/chinese-sorties-over-disputed-islands-spark-war-fears/#AuFpRG44F77YjkrR.99
The sorties came after both Japan and South Korea sent fighters into the area to challenge China’s exclusive claim to the uninhabited islands.
Chinese Air Force Col. Shen Jinke claims his nation’s flights are routine and a “defensive measure and in line with international common practices.”
The islands located about 250 miles east of the Chinese mainland have been a point of contention over the past year, because Japan and China, along with Taiwan and South Korea, all express claims to them.
Clarion Project Intelligence and National Security analyst Ryan Mauro says the declaration is China flexing its muscle.
“This is a way of China declaring military domination over the islands without officially taking them over. By saying it is an air defense zone, China is trying to dominate the airspace. It’s basically saying, ‘These are ours and if your aircraft trespass, we have the right to shoot them down,’” Mauro said.
C. J. Burke, CEO of intelligence and consulting firm Burke and Associates, notes China’s long history of animosity toward Japan.

Florida Angler Hooks and Releases Rare 800-pound Sea Creature
Captain Mark Quartiano earned his nickname “Mark the Shark” from years of experience fishing off the coast of Florida, but even he was stunned by his monstrous catch on Saturday. According to CBS Miami, Quartiano hooked the large creature while filming for a series of fishing shows in Miami waters. He identified the stingray as a member of the Dactylobatus clarkii species, relatives of the shark and commonly known as fingerskates or hookskates.
“I’ve caught one like it before, but never that size, not in the last 30 years I’ve been doing this,” Quartiano told ABC News. “It’s a very rare fish. It’s like a big gigantic whipping stingray. It’s a dinosaur.”

Man Throws Away 7,500 Bitcoins, Now Worth $7.5 Million
Via Daily Timewaster
A British man says he threw out a hard drive that had 7,500 bitcoins on it, worth over $7.5 million as of Wednesday.
James Howells of Wales purchased the suddenly skyrocketing Internet currency for almost nothing back in 2009.
He says he likely threw out the hard drive sometime over the summer, and only recently remembered what was on it.
“You know when you put something in the [trash], and in your head, say to yourself ‘that’s a bad idea’? I really did have that,” Howells, who works in IT, told the Guardian.
A few months after Bitcoin’s launch, Howells created a computer program to “mine” the digital currency.

The Knockout Game -- NYT/NPR Say No Big Deal
Via III Percent Patriots
The "knockout game" -- and the media underreporting of it -- combines the breakdown of the family with the media's condescending determination to serve as a public relations bureau for blacks.
The "game" is a dare in which a young man -- all the perps appear to be male people of color, mostly blacks -- tries to literally knock out an innocent bystander with one blow.
Both National Public Radio and The New York Times say these reports of the "knockout game" being widespread are overblown and do not represent a trend.

Professor: Obama Should Be Allowed to Run for a Third Term
Via Knuckledraggin' My Life Away
Duh
Want more Obama?
In The Washington Post, Jonathan Zimmerman, a history professor from NYU, has written an article claiming that all of America’s problems would be soloved–GET THIS–if only we would allow Barack Obama to run for a third term!
He wants to amend the Constitution and abolish presidential term limits.
Zimmerman writes that Obama–whose approval rating is at an all time low of 37%–would be much more effective at governing if he could stand for re-election in 2016 because then he’d be less likely to “ignore” the will of the American people. “It’s time to put that power back where it belongs,” he writes. “Barack Obama should be allowed to stand for re election just as citizens should be allowed to vote for — or against — him. Anything less diminishes our leaders and ourselves.”

Deer stolen from Kaukauna hunter
It's a hunter's worst nightmare - having their trophy buck stolen. That's what happened to one Kaukauna man and his son while they were hunting up north near Birnamwood. Now they are hoping to warn other hunters of this alleged deer thief.
Chris Hutchison of Kaukauna is very disappointed.
"It's a real empty, lost feeling, I mean when you get something stolen from you," said Hutchison.
Hutchison and his 19-year-old son, shot two bucks on the opening day of deer hunting. They were keeping them in the back of their truck while they continued to hunt.
"When we got back to the truck, back to the campground we noticed someone had stolen the deer yesterday afternoon," said Hutchison.

Everyday Hero: Marine Vet Saves Woman's Life at Football Stadium
The Marine Corps has an old phrase, Semper Fidelis. It means “always faithful.” This attitude of service certainly rang true this weekend, when 61-year-old veteran Donnie Navidad instinctively dashed forward to catch a woman on a 50 foot free fall inside the Oakland Raiders' stadium.
"He simply saved her life," Alameda County sheriff's Sgt. J.D. Nelson stated.
Navidad grabbed and embraced the plummeting stranger and the two slammed into the concrete together. The softened impact still left the woman hospitalized in critical condition. Paramedics cut off Navidad’s "Bo" Jackson jersey to access his wounded arm.

Preaching the Everlasting Shell Game
John
Brown carried one of “Beecher’s Bibles” at Harper’s Ferry, provided by a
man greatly responsible for the war that ended the republic. Upon
Beauregard’s demand for the surrender of Fort Sumter in April 1861
Beecher was to proclaim that “I utterly abhor peace . . . Give me war
redder than blood and fiercer than fire.” The abolitionists would offer
no practical and peaceful solution to slavery, only war to the knife and
a million dead.
Bernhard Thuersam, Chairman
North Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Commission
"Unsurpassed Valor, Courage and Devotion to Liberty"
"The Official Website of the North Carolina WBTS Sesquicentennial"
Preaching the Everlasting Shell Game
“Henry
Ward Beecher, the most popular preacher in America, famous for his
spellbinding crusades against slavery, liquor, the secret vice and every
other evil, committed adultery with at least one woman of his
congregation, a woman who happened also to be a Sunday School teacher and the wife of an admiring protégé of Beecher’s.
The
offense itself is not so revealing as the spirit of callous
exploitation with which it was carried out and the deceit and hypocrisy
with which it was covered up. Beecher was warmly defended by the
establishment of his day. Most of the press declared his innocence and
his parishioners raised $100,000 for his legal expenses, while those who
brought the charges that we now know to be true were hounded.
The
powers that be, then as now, rush to the rescue when their most
valuable asset, their pretense of superior moral vision, is threatened.
Henry’s deceit in this episode was not merely a weakness displayed on
one painful occasion. It was a way of life to a man whose fame and
riches were built on a conveniently abstract, unscrupulously-aggressive,
politically irresponsible moralizing.
In
his memoirs, for example, Henry lied about so simple a thing as a
college debate. He recounted an occasion in which he had carried the
house against a proposal for the colonization of blacks outside the
United States. In fact, he had not participated in the debate in
question and the pro-colonization side had won. Characteristically, he
had falsely glorified his own role and distorted the historical record
to make his antislavery stand date to a much earlier and more dangerous
period than it actually did.
The
story of the Beecher’s is that of people who proclaimed themselves the
champions of freedom and morality and demonized those who disagreed,
while all the time keeping their hand in the till and their eye on the
main chance. The chief lesson we can learn is that there is something
in the American fabric that guarantees that now and then such people
will succeed outrageously.
Today’s
secular liberals will, of course, dismiss Henry Ward Beecher as simply a
typical hypocritical Protestant moralist. Yet he was one of them. He
was a leading liberal of his day, a crusader not for souls but for
political and social reform. He was an establishment figure, not a
small-town vigilante.
He spoke from a position of power and
respectability from which he safely and irresponsibly rode to the outer
limits every fad of his day.
Beecher
is not the father of the Moral Majority; he is the father of the smug
establishment figures who juggle morality and sybaritic life-styles in
an everlasting shell game.
That strange combination of Puritanism and democracy which wreaked so much havoc in the 19th
century, having done its work and reached the natural limits of its
expansion, began a retreat into narrower and less dangerous limits after
the debacle of Reconstruction. Something very similar is perhaps
happening now. If so, we can hope once again for leaders for whom
public life, as for Lee, is an arena for the exercise of private virtue
rather than, as for the Beechers, a vehicle for the social mobilization
of private greed and discontent.” (1982)

For Nearly Two Decades the Nuclear Launch Code at all Minuteman Silos in the United States Was 00000000
Today I found out that during the height of the Cold War, the US military put such an emphasis on a rapid response to an attack on American soil, that to minimize any foreseeable delay in launching a nuclear missile, for nearly two decades they intentionally set the launch codes at every silo in the US to 8 zeroes.
We guess the first thing we need to address is how this even came to be in the first place. Well, in 1962 JFK signed the National Security Action Memorandum 160, which was supposed to ensure that every nuclear weapon the US had be fitted with a Permissive Action Link (PAL), basically a small device that ensured that the missile could only be launched with the right code and with the right authority.

Cancer Patient Who Spoke Out Against ObamaCare Now Being Audited

He went on FOX News where his story was picked up by C. Steven Tucker, a health insurance broker who helped him keep his insurance.
Now suddenly Bill Elliot is being audited for 2009 with an interview only scheduled in April 2014. Assuming he lives that long. That might be a coincidence, but Tucker is being audited back to 2003.

Syria Rebels: "They fire randomly to force Christians to leave,"
Much of the shelling in recent weeks has centered on Christian-majority areas in the Old City, where many residents now barricade themselves at home and schools are half empty. Businessmen say sales have plunged, because people no longer dare to go out.
"Shells have become part of our everyday life," said Jean Nahhas, an 18-year-old business administration student who lives in the predominantly Christian area of Qassaa, which has been particularly hard hit by the shelling.
Nahhas, whose uncle was killed in shelling a month ago, said he and other Syrians have established a routine, going home early and calling to check on family and friends after each explosion.
Assad retains strong support in the capital, particularly among minority sects including Christians, Alawites, Druse and Shiites, making them likely targets. Foreign embassies and schools also are frequently hit. Rebels are overwhelmingly from the country's Sunni majority sect, and Christians are convinced that Islamic extremists among the fighters are deliberately targeting their neighborhoods.

Obama, Oprah, media to blame for black mobs: Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson warns, 'Hatred for whites is reinforced and encouraged'
Did you ever imagine that, in America, groups of black thugs would attack unsuspecting whites? Did you ever think the first black president and Oprah Winfrey would encourage division and hatred between races?
In today’s America, that’s the unfortunate reality.
In what many tamely call the “knockout game,” black teenagers target whites to attack them without provocation. The aim is to knock the victim unconscious with one blow. Man, woman, young or old – it doesn’t matter – these thugs do not care.
Authorities have reported violent attacks in New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Connecticut and Illinois. There have been at least four recent fatalities.
In New York City, police said they’ve had seven “knockout” incidents this fall. Some of the attackers specifically targeted Jewish people, including an assault on a 78-year-old woman. In New Haven, Conn., police are investigating six attacks in just the past month.
Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia has warned that “knockout game” suspects would face charges ranging from aggravated assault to third-degree murder. “We will catch you. You’ll be prosecuted, and your life will be changed dramatically.”

NFL Rejects Super Bowl Commercial from Gun Company
The NFL has rejected a commercial submitted by firearm manufacturer Daniel Defense for the 2014 Super Bowl.
Daniel Defense manufactures rifles on the AR-15 platform, but the commercial did not even mention Daniel Defense products. Instead, Guns & Ammo says the commercial "focused on themes of personal protection and fundamental rights."The Super Bowl will air on FOX, and FOX says they could not accept the commercial "due to the rules of the NFL itself" regarding firearm-related businesses.
The NFL's prohibited advertising categories include, but are not limited to, "contraceptives," "fireworks," "distilled spirits and flavored malt beverages," "tobacco," and "firearms, ammunition, or other weapons."
As Guns & Ammo noted, the "firearms portion of the NFL’s Prohibited Advertising Categories states":
5. Firearms, ammunition or other weapons are prohibited; however, stores that sell firearms and ammunitions (e.g., outdoor stores and camping stores) will be permitted, provided they sell other products and the ads do not mention firearms, ammunition or other weapons.
Guns & Ammo noted that "according to these guidelines, Daniel Defense’s Super Bowl commercial does not violate NFL policy for two reasons":
Daniel Defense has a brick-and-mortar store, where they sell products other than firearms such as apparel.

In the drive for Scandinavian culture to utterly annihilate itself as fast as possible, let it never be said that art galleries and institutions failed to do their part.
Oslo’s “New Nordic Art” website (as an example) reveals that “Nordic” has evolved to mean any person with absolutely no genetic, historic, cultural or especially religious connection to the region itself. Proof of the native purge is the list of artists from “Costa Rica, China, Israel, France, Palestine, Haiti/Switzerland, USA, UK, Lebanon and Japan.” Featured artists “reside” in Norway at some point, which is fine, but they seem to have entirely eclipsed anyone with a Norwegian grandmother.

NC: COUNTY TO VOTE ON TOTAL GUN BAN
Early next week, as the
rest of us recover from our turkey-induced comas, see off our visiting
relatives and munch on Thanksgiving leftovers, some Alamance County
Commissioners are planning an activity that does not conjure an image of
so much
Americana. Unfortunately, it appears that a few of the commissioners
(Manning, Massey & Smith) are still scheming to sneak an anti-gun
ordinance through while their constituents are distracted by holiday
travel and Christmas shopping. This is certainly not in the spirit of
the
holidays.
Last week, GRNC informed its supporters that the Alamance County Commissioners were considering an ordinance to enact a total gun ban in county buildings by banning open carry (concealed carry is already banned). Unfortunately, after hearing from gun owners, rather than doing the right thing, some of the commissioners apparently continue to seriously consider a gun ban, and they are planning a vote on such an ordinance this Monday morning.
Give Thanks by Standing Up for Your Rights
There is no time more appropriate than Thanksgiving to reflect on the fact that we live in a place where our Natural rights are recognized and protected. What better way to give thanks for being blessed in this way than to stand up for those rights? Please contact the County Commissioners and let them know that you will not tolerate an infringement on the gun rights of every citizen in Alamance County just because of the prejudices of a few.
