The USA is the next Greece

Comment from a ZeroHedge article:

“I was just in Greece last week (On Cruise).  I went to the parliament building where all of this shit takes place (Thanks to ZH for educating me and giving us the live riot feeds).  Pictures do not show how fucked up this country is.  Every building is tagged with Graffiti saying "F*** Merkel", and "Hows this Capitalism working for you now?".  Most of it is in Greek, but the paint in English is truly scary.  Again..most buildings and ANY free walls are tagged and tagged again.  The city is ruined.  Even the windows of businesses are tagged from top to bottom.  Bank windows are cracked and broken.  I was there the day after Merkel was there so no riot photos.  I tried to take a photo with the police with machine guns and riot gear hiding around town but they would not let me.  I now see why there are "Riot Dogs" also.  Stray dogs and cats all around.  You guys will really appreciate what I am about to say.....We were in a taxi going back to the cruise ship, and I asked the female taxi driver "What do you think of Merkel?". She said "We all hate her" in a broken Greek accent.  I asked "Why?".  She said "I have 4 children, and I have always received my checks to help me pay for my kids, and now that b**** Merkel took my checks away."  I was astounded to hear this type of thinking....so I tried to rationalize her comment by saying "Angela Merkel didn't take your checks, your government overspent, and Merkel is trying to help and your government has to pay Germany back as they agreed for the borrowed money right?"  She said "We don't have to pay anything back....Germany still owes us big time for the war.!!"  I just sat back in the cab and listened to her rant for the remaining 5 minutes of our trek back to the ship..... As you can see from this type of thinking....they are s******.  All they want is more Free S***.....sounds very familiar with another country.  After hearing this type of thought process explained to me in person over and over in Greece first hand, it shows me that these people in the streets have no clue.  It is either "I get more free stuff, or we riot in the streets".  There is no compromise.  It is a 100% "All Me" society.  Thanks ZeroHedge for waking me up.  Just ordered some more Buckets of food from Costco...take a look.  I feel a lot better having some of these under my belt. I don't post much, but I sure do read all of your guys comments.  Thanks.  Oh  before I finish gas is $12 a gallon and they will not touch the US dollar no matter what.  Tried to give the cab driver a $5 tip because I was out of Euros and she just gave it back and said "We don't take that".  I had already paid for the cab with my remaining Euros....Yikes.”

Sure, this is only anecdotal, but wow – if this is true and represents the beliefs of even a sliver of the Greek population, they’re in deep s***.  I can only hope that US citizens are smarter than that.

Breaking: Prepper Put on No-Fly List, Stranded in Hawaii

By Melissa Melton

What does it take to get your name on the no-fly list in America? Apparently you only need to be classified as a “prepper.”

When 34-year-old U.S. citizen and Mississippi resident Wade Hicks boarded a military flight to visit his wife, a Navy lieutenant stationed in Okinawa, Japan, he did not think it would be a one-way trip. Stopping off in Hawaii to refuel, upon reboarding the plane, Hicks was quickly escorted back off again by armed guards. He was then taken to a secure interrogation room where Hicks was informed he would not be flying anywhere because he turned up on the no-fly list.

Hicks has since been stranded on the island state without a way home.

As seen below in a bombshell double interview on Infowars Nightly News, private investigator and founder of the Northeast Intelligence Network Douglas Hagmann revealed that Hicks not only passed through TSA screening at his original departure point in San Francisco, but he has also passed a criminal background check and an FBI screening for an enhanced concealed carry permit in his home state.

In addition, Hicks holds a TWIC card, or Transportation Worker Identification Credential, granted by none other than the TSA. Hicks has also held classified clearances as a defense contractor for the U.S. military. His passport is valid and has not been revoked.

What was it Hicks did, then, to be added to the U.S. government’s no-fly list maintained by the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center?

“I asked [Hicks] ‘Could you have been mistaken for a person with the same surname?’” Hagmann said. “The people who were acting on behalf of the TSA and DHS had told him his social security number, his date of birth, his name, and they said, ‘No, there is no mistake, this is you, you’re on this no-fly list.’”

After being asked to get off the plane, “It started out like something fairly routine,” Hicks said in his interview with Infowars. “About 15-20 minutes later, two heavily armed Air Force security forces guys showed up.”
It was then Hicks was told he would not be flying anywhere. There is no indication as to why Hicks was able to first fly from San Francisco to Hawaii without being notified he was supposedly on the list.

Seemingly the only “crime” Hicks has committed that would end in revocation of his ability to fly is his affiliation with the Mississippi Preparedness Project, a prepper organization. Although prepping is not illegal, the FBI has been cracking down on preppers for awhile now, with everything from spying on people who visit prepper websites to straight up stripping preppers of their Second Amendment rights.

Hicks revealed to Infowars that a supposed disabled veteran claiming to be a Navy Seal had joined his prepper group earlier in the year, but Hicks felt the man’s story seemed suspicious. Through a Freedom of Information Act request, Hicks learned the man had never been in the military even though he possessed an authentic military ID. Sometime later while out driving, Hicks saw the man’s car and ended up tailing him to a Mississippi Department of Homeland Security branch office where the man parked his car.

When asked if he thought his affiliation with a prepper group caused him to get detained, Hicks responded, “If it does, that’s a pretty sad situation.”

In the meantime, Hicks has contacted his Senator, and he has received a call back that the Senator’s office is currently working to help him get home.

This is not the first time our out-of-control government has trampled someone’s rights with the no-fly list. Stories of natural born U.S. citizens being barred from flight because their name mysteriously shows up on the list have become all too common.

Earlier this year, a California grad student on the list had to fly from Costa Rica to Mexico and walk across the U.S. border to get home, and a muslim man from Virginia had to get an FBI waiver after being stuck in Cairo for nearly two months before he could return to America. TSA agents even pulled an eighteen-month-old baby off a Jet Blue flight last spring for being considered a suspected terrorist on the no-fly list.
As previously reported by Infowars, the list more than doubled in 2011, and the government still refuses to release the names on the list or even any details as to how or why these people have been chosen. No one is given due process when they are added, completely bypassing the Fifth Amendment for each and every American citizen put on it.

Once you’re on the no-fly list, it is unclear how to get off, either.

These kinds of egregious trespasses on our liberties are becoming an everyday occurence. The federal government is obviously prepping for something, purchasing billions of rounds of ammunition and buying dehydrated food in bulk. Apparently the average U.S. citizen who wants to prep is, instead, supposed to fear government retribution through potentially being stranded hundreds or even thousands of miles away from home every time he or she steps foot on an airplane

Radiation Continues Spreading and Spiking Across USA

Oct 10, 2012 reporting from Honolulu

We noted in a prior post that "Something Happened around September 17"  and radiation spiked high in a number of US cities, but especially the Pacific Northwest.

These are the areas that were the hardest hit by Fukushima the first time around, as the jet stream usually makes a beeline for them.

I was hoping that would be a week or so spike, and then back to normal, but that is not the case, and the radiation continues to spread east and south.  Disturbingly, over half of the Radnet data has gone black, especially in the bigger cities.   Your tinfoil hat won't protect you from this radiation fallout, no matter how thick. 

This is time to alert your friends and neighbors, anything over 100 Clicks Per Minute (CPM) is time to get concerned, and now there are MANY places up over 100, some at 500.  Exposure to 100CPM for a year gives you a significantly increased chance of cancer....and that is just from getting hit externally with the radiation.    If you breath it in, it can be 20 times worse.    Exposure to 500 CPM for 90 days gives you a significantly increased chance of cancer.

Please review this handy Cheat Sheet on radiation.   Nuke Pro blog made this summary sheet in order to send a Geiger to Japan for local testing by Japanese families.
