The Money Tree and the Evil of Good Intentions
Written by “Do you think money grows on trees?”
Dad
It’s something most of us learn when we’re very young. Money isn’t easy to come by. You have to earn it. You have to work for it. You have to do your chores. You have to get a job delivering newspapers. You have to mow people’s lawns or shovel their walks when it snows. You have to do something productive and then people will pay you. Only then can you go to the candy store and buy yourself a treat, or spend your Saturday afternoon in a dark movie theater enjoying an eye popping spectacle. That was part of Americana when I was growing up, learning that things weren’t just handed to you, they needed to be earned. READ MORE »
Saudi woman who defied driving ban in fatal crash
A Saudi woman who defied the country’s ban on female drivers was badly hurt in a crash on the weekend that killed her passenger.
Manal al-Sharif was hospitalized with “several injuries” Saturday after her four-wheel-drive car overturned, reports AFP. A female companion in the car died on the scene.
Al-Sharif, 32, was arrested and detained for 10 days last May after posting a YouTube video of herself at the wheel of a car. She became the face of a campaign against the ban.
Ron Paul is the Only Electable Candidate for President
The corporate controlled, establishment mass media would still have you believe that Ron Paul is some crazy fringe candidate. They still insist that he is unelectable despite his 3rd place finish in Iowa (one wonders how Santorum got so many votes there) and his second place finish in New Hampshire, and polls that have him doing very well against Obama. This despite the fact that the Republican Party leadership seem embarrassed by his presence and want to keep voters away from him more than the Dursleys wanted to keep Harry Potter away from their muggle relatives. When even those who count the votes have to admit to so many flocking to the eccentric family uncle one starts to wonder if maybe he has a real chance of gaining the Republican nod. It is, after all, a matter of numbers and if there is overwhelming support then even the most corrupt organization starts to worry about being too obvious with their cheating and fixing of elections.

‘Occupy Wall Street’ protesters allowed back into Zuccotti Park
Two months after the “Occupy Wall Street” protesters were evicted from New York City’s Zuccotti Park, police on Tuesday removed the metal barricades surrounding the park and allowed the public back in.
The barricades were removed only a day after the New York Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and the New York City chapter of the National Lawyers Guild threatened legal action against the city for restricting the public’s access to the park.
“We’re pleased the city is finally giving the park back to the people,” said NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman. “We hope Zuccotti Park can now resume its rightful place as a center for meeting and protest in New York City.”
Google tries to shut down Truth Frequency Radio and Truth Frequency News
Truth Frequency was born on November 5th 2009 (remember, remember the 5th of November) and conceived by Chris & Sheree Geo. Our story began on blogtalk after which we worked our way up to taking the internet by storm! I credit this to the twin flame energy and a total abandonment of materialism in exchange for a spiritual journey many might see as foolish. Why give up a great life style and the ability to give the person I love anything in the world and pursue a thankless path of ridicule, stress, self sacrifice and hate? And by raising our heads above the crowd in effect painting ourselves as targets for all of the trolls, haters, cointelpro ops and ultimately the New World Order? Why? I’ll tell you why. Because of each and every one of you who tune in every single week to listen to what we have to say! For the love that you guys send to counter act the negative and ultimate to fulfill our destiny of saving the universe in this time of chaos and self destruction. The universe of course being the universe inside of us and the universe inside of those who’s lives we affect.
Shortly after we began to rise, we noticed forces claiming to be working with us were actually suppressing and working against us. They sent in low level cointelpro agents and while effective for a moment, could not maintain the infiltration and by following the cointelpro manual to the letter, sought to destroy us. But we are and always have been guided by higher forces who ensure our work continues, no matter how significant or insignificant it may be in the end or on the broadest scale of the mighty plan. The guiding forces have placed a hand of protection around us allowing us to laugh in the face of ridicule, lies, ad hominem attacks and keep us focused on our goal.
It was just a few months ago that Truth Frequency News was being sourced by CNN and other mainstream media outlets, the websites were on a trajectory to rival some of the biggest in alternative media and even mainstream propaganda outlets. We were the first to expose the Libya hoax and the blatant story telling by the mainstream media. We exposed Reuters for creating fake news stories to incite hate against Col. Gahdaffi. We exposed the mainstream media propaganda in the face of ridicule by our very own peers until they caught up and realized we were right all long. We laughed in the face of the NDAA and while everyone ran around in a panic, we were the voice which reminded that tyranny can never be legalized. Shortly after, many heard the voice and thus reminded of who we (as a humanity) are, where we came from, and echoed our words to the world.
We sat back and watched as the count on our youtube videos sat frozen for weeks on end, months on end, with new comments every day, yet the view counter never moved. We rejoiced when we found our interviews uploaded by other youtubers with upwards of half a million views, while we sat steadily at less than 10,000. We laughed when our websites were pulled for absolutely no apparent reason, claiming we used “too much bandwidth” and we held steadfast in our resolve to rebuild. We spent upwards of 80 combined hours piecing the shattered pieces back together while at the same time never ever ever missing a show.
In fact, these are the things which motivate us. If we’re not being attacked, we’re doing something wrong.
So I have one question for Google who is working side by side with the NSA. What the hell makes you think something like this is going to stop us from completing our work? Do you not understand the forces you are up against? You are not up against Chris & Sheree Geo, we are merely the conduit from which this energy flows, we are merely the vessels which carry this information to the masses. You are up against the creating force of the universe, all which is good and all which is love. And you know what? This old cliche says it best; Love conquers all.
Ron Paul Supporters, Are You Ready to Get Down and Dirty?
Politics is a dirty business. Everyone knows that. It is full of power hungry control freaks who care nothing about transparency, accountability, honesty or principle. They don’t want to see government shrink because that would mean their power shrinks. If that’s the case, why do we hear so often so many politicians speak about such things as if they have these admirable traits when the opposite is true? Politicians are notorious for lying, flip flopping, hypocrisy and breaking promises. There are an extreme number of powerful people who are anything but admirable. In fact, many of them would be considered despicable if not for the fact that for some reason or another we as a society seem to excuse people in politics for acting in such a fashion. We have let the system become a cesspool where such men can find a respectable home. READ MORE »
NYPD pulls the plug on OWS Global Revolution TV
On Tuesday, NYPD arrested six individuals who ran OWS’ Globalrevolution.tv. According to law enforcement, the place where the individuals inhabited was “imminently perilous to life” and was a threat to the inhabitant’s health. Some say health concerns aren’t the real issues and claim NYPD tactics are changing and they are now targeting individuals. Goldie, OWS activist, gives us his take on the website shutdown and why he refuses to use his last name.
Ron Paul, Racism and Conspiracy Theorists
The Ron Paul campaign must really be doing something right. The corporate owned mainstream media is really attacking him with all guns blazing. They dredge up the fear card and accuse him of being a racist. They spin his words and try to frame the argument in a way that, in my opinion, is very dishonest to say the least. Some would call these corporate shills outright liars, but in their minds they’re just trying to push the propaganda that will get their guy elected so their corporate masters can maintain their power. The problem for them is that the masses of humanity aren’t as dumb as they seem to believe. The people on catching on to their little game. There’s a world of difference between the way they treat Ron Paul who WILL follow through on his campaign promises to restore personal freedoms as best he can (judging from his political consistency and voting record), and the way they treated Barrack Obama who made promises that sounded good and somewhat Ron Paulish but were never meant to be kept.

‘Virginity tests’ on Egypt protesters are illegal, says judge
Forced “virginity tests” on female detainees were ruled illegal in Egypt on Tuesday, after a court ordered an end to the practice.
Hundreds of activists were in the Cairo courtroom to hear the judge, Aly Fekry, say the army could not use the test on women held in military prisons in a case filed by Samira Ibrahim, one of seven women subjected to the test after being arrested in Tahrir Square during a protest on 9 March.
Fekry, head of the Cairo administrative court, decreed that what happened to Ibrahim and six other detainees was illegal and any similar occurrence in the future would also be considered illegal.
The court is expected to issue a further injunction against such tests and decree that the test was completely illegal, opening the door for financial compensation.
I Am the 0.00000000143%

I am an individual. I am unique. I am the smallest minority. I am one out of seven billion or so. That’s approximately 0.00000000143%. I am approximately the 0.00000000143%, and I am still significant. I matter. I have as much right to exist in this world as anyone else. I have as much right to express my opinion. I have as much right to pursue my interests as anyone else. I have as much right to acquire private property, goods and services in a fair and equitable manner as anyone else. I respect everyone else’s natural rights, and everyone else should respect mine. If I need help, I would appeal to your sense of humanity and generosity to try to convince you to offer your help on a voluntary basis, I would not ask a violent organization to steal from you or coerce you through threats of imprisonment, or worse, into turning your hard earned property over to meet my needs.
