Terrorist attacks in Paris last week have already taken their toll on French freedom. France is now a land of warrantless raids and arrests, paramilitary squads roaming the streets and Government limitations on freedom of speech and assembly. See here.

Pew Research Center. Dec. 2015. Statistically, the average person in the world is more likely to be killed by his own government than by any foreign government, any terrorist, or any criminal.
One’s own government is the greatest source of potential danger for the average person in the world.
Now, one-quarter of all Americans appear to be acknowledging the growing threat posed by advancing government.
Pew Research Center found that 27 percent of registered voters say they think of government as an enemy, up 8 points since 1996. See here. See here.
Those who feel “basically content” with government are an extremist minority, constituting only 18 percent.

Every government program that subsidizes heath care makes health care more expensive. Government supports subsidize demand without increasing supply, causing prices to rise.
New research by the Mercatus Center (see here) shows that Obamacare’s enrollment figures fell far short of projections. By MILLIONS.
Also, enrollment of “all but the near-poor is far below projections.” The uninsured middle class are “largely shunning” the new programs.
Additionally, “the pool of enrollees is sicker and more costly than projected.”
Insurers are losing billions annually (despite being subsidized by the government on a massive scale), increasing premiums, raising deductibles, and narrowing provider networks.

Pater Tenebrarum provides a brilliant essay on Lewrockwell.com today. Tennebrarum writes that the “War on Terror” is the greatest scam of all time.
Tenebrarum provides the above graph showing that the “War on Terror” actually appears to have created MORE rather than less terror. Just as the “War on Poverty” stopped the rapid decline in poverty. Just as the “Affordable Care Act” has made “care” much LESS affordable.
Still, it is hard to compete with Social Security, which has impoverished vast millions of Americans by disincentivizing them from saving and investing and has transferred vast fortunes from poor people to richer people. See here.

Investors Business Daily reports on the recent discovery that a 1977 book called for (1) higher taxes, (2) greater government control and regulation over the oil, coal and gas industries, (3) more socialism and central planning by elites in government offices, and (4) a government program of subsidizing and supporting “alternative” energy sources.
See here. But these “cures” were proposed to stop . . . global cooling. Our masters in government, and their “science” allies, were heavily promoting the threat of global cooling in the 1970s.
Identical cures for “global warming” and “global cooling”: more government!

America’s government-approved and supported colleges have become dens of extremist pro-government, socialist, and elitist ideology. Those who speak up for individual liberty or free markets often live in fear of intimidation or retaliation by faculty and pro-government students.
Now, a group of Amherst protesters want students who posted a flyer around campus celebrating free speech to be punished. See here.

By now the evidence that climate-change socialists within government “science” agencies are falsifying temperature data to bolster their manmade-global-warming-by-CO2 claims has become insurmountable.
Another researcher bothered to do some homework and scrutinize some of the NASA temperature adjustments. See here.
Professor Dr. Friedrich Karl Ewert, a German scientist, found that some time between 2010 and 2012, someone within NASA altered the data set to show a warming trend.
And although the government scientists claim that “adjustments” are necessary to “fix” problems with missing data or malfunctioning thermometers, Dr. Ewert found that the methods used by NASA
(1) Reduced the annual mean of earlier years,
(2) reduced the high values in the first warming phase,
(3) increased values during the second warming phase,
and
(4) suppressed the cooling phase which began in 1995.
These alterations can be readily viewed and analyzed by the public.

Were the recent terrorist attacks in Paris committed or secretly caused by western intelligence operatives in order to drum up support for the military-industrial complex?
There is certainly extensive evidence that the CIA and other western intelligence agencies have FUNDED “ISIS” and other supposedly “Islamist” terror groups.
In any case, the Paris attacks have empowered the CIA to demand ever-more surveillance powers–and the punishment of whistleblower Edward Snowden, who exposed the CIA’s and NSA’s unconstitutional and unlawful spying on the American people.
Now, another former CIA official of the highest level is calling for Snowden’s murder. See here.

According the USA TODAY (see here):
The nation’s largest health insurer warned Thursday that it may pull out of the Obamacare exchanges after 2016 – forcing more than a half million people to find other coverage – after low enrollment and high usage cost the company millions of dollars.
The possible move by UnitedHealth Group raises new questions about the viability of President Obama’s signature health law and follows the departure of more than half of the non-profit insurance cooperatives this year. If UnitedHealth drops out, consumers would lose one of the lowest-cost plans available in much of the country, and some wonder how smaller insurers could fill the void.
UnitedHealth warned investors that it would reap $425 million less in revenue during the fourth quarter than it had previously expected.

In the past 3 days, virtually every major, government-approved newspaper has run a short story claiming that the recent October (2015) was the “hottest on record.”
The official government claim is that the “normal” worldwide temperature for October is 1.04 degrees Celsius and that the recent month showed the largest “anomoly,” or was the farthest away from this supposed average of any other October on record.
Steven Goddard has now analyzed a sampling of the data behind this bizarre claim and found more data tampering.
Goddard reports that “[t]his kind of mind-blowing malfeasance would get [the government scientists at NASA] fired and probably escorted out of the building by security at many engineering companies.”
The “hottest on record” claims stem–as most suspected–from “adjusted” surface data, which barely measures the major land regions of the globe.
But as Goddard notes, “Satellites cover almost the entire planet several times a day, and they showed that October had only the 25th highest monthly anomaly [even as satellites have only been in the sky for 25 to 30 years],”
