Governor Mike Pence Slams Press As ‘Reckless’

WND
America’s Independent News Network
“A Free Press for a Free People”


Tells ABC: ‘We’re not going to change the law, OK?’

By Cheryl Chumley — An obviously frustrated and fed up Indiana Gov. Mike Pence came out swinging on national television over his state’s new religious freedom rule, basically telling ABC host George Stephanopoulos to move on with his questioning – the law’s not leaving.

On “This Week,” Pence faced fire over whether the bill he signed into law was tantamount to discrimination against certain groups of individuals, specifically “gays” and lesbians. He insisted the law wasn’t a regulation against private individuals or businesses, but rather a means of checking government and upholding the First Amendment, and slammed the media for its “reckless” and “shameless” skewed coverage of the issue, Politico reported.

Pence finally told his host: “We’re not going to change the law, OK? This is not about discrimination, this is about empowering people to confront government overreach. … From people who preach tolerance every day, we’ve been under an avalanche of intolerance. I’m not going to take it lying down.”

He also said the law doesn’t automatically give businesses the right to decline to serve homosexuals or others and insisted: “Hoosiers don’t believe in discrimination,” Politico reported.

Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act has incited some widespread controversy. Indianapolis-based Angie’s List just announced it was cancelling a $40 million expansion of its headquarters, while ESPN host Keith Olbermann has called for the NFL to boycott the state....

Urban Warfare Training Rattles Florida Town
Police, Military Join For Realistic Street Drills

By Cheryl Chumley, WND — Police agencies in Broward County, Florida, partnered with more than 200 members of the U.S. military to conduct Special Operations Forces training in the streets and buildings of several undisclosed locations – a situation that left some rather unsettled.

A clip of one of the exercises showed troops converging on some individuals – who are posing as prisoners – and marching them toward an internment building. Blackhawk helicopters, meanwhile, swarmed overhead.

...some see an ulterior motive with the exercises – that the government is trying to acclimate Americans to the idea of martial law. One similar drill for military members and police in nine different states raised the ire of many after it was revealed Texas and Utah, in exercise-related documents, had been labeled hostile territories for training purposes, Infowars reported....

What Will You Do If Dollars Stop Being Accepted?

CleanTV: Family-Friendly Television and Video On Demand

Partial Transcript: What will you do when the dollar no longer spends? With Obama letting in the floodgates of new immigrants from our Southern border, expect welfare rolls to explode with trillions more in taxpayer funding triggering possible runaway inflation.

And if that happens, do you know how much a cup of coffee might be? About $500 trillion dollars per cup--and that is for old, cold bitter Java. If you want Starbucks lattes expect to pay 2 quadrillion dollars.

Don't laugh and don't say it's impossible. Rhodesia used to be the Garden of Eden of Africa. Shortly after adopting socialist money schemes, and sporting the new name of Zimbabwe, their coffee cost more than that. So did their gasoline and milk and eggs. After a while the money stopped spending altogether.
But the United States is actually deeper in debt than Zimbabwe was before their collapse. The United States of America used to be richest nation in modern history.

So I ask you again, what will you do if your paper dollars become worthless? ... read full transcript

US Negotiating On Iran’s Behalf
Obama Admin Takes Extreme Soft Line With Iran

By Brian Lilley, Ben Shapiro’s Truth Revolt — A journalist who formerly had close ties with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the Obama administration is essentially acting for Iran in the current negotiations over that country's nuclear program.

“The US negotiating team are mainly there to speak on Iran’s behalf with other members of the 5+1 countries and convince them of a deal,” said Amir Hossein Motaghi.

Motaghi, who sought political asylum in Switzerland after traveling there to cover the nuclear talks as a journalist, once handled public relations for president Rouhani.

The comments from Motaghi, reported by Britain's Daily Telegraph, come as cracks appear between the US and her allies over any proposed deal with Iran.

The Free Beacon reports that diplomatic sources are describing American diplomats as bullying allies while cozying up to Iran....

In Yemen, It’s The Bad Guys Vs. The Bad Guys

By Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse — Saudi Arabia and Egypt stand poised to conduct a massive ground invasion of Yemen, and the western media will be full of tales about how “Operation Decisive Storm” is liberating that country from the evil Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. And without a doubt, the Houthis are bad guys and so are their Iranian benefactors. But don’t be fooled into thinking that the war in Yemen is a battle of good vs. evil. The truth is that the conflict in Yemen is actually a proxy war between two sets of bad guys that both ultimately plan for Islam to take over the entire planet. On one side, the Iranians are very honest about the fact that they view us as an enemy, and they plan to impose their version of radical Shia Islam worldwide as soon as they can. On the other side, the Saudis pretend to be our friends, but they don’t hide the fact that they believe that their version of Sunni Islam will eventually rule the world. And their version of Sunni Islam includes constant beheadings, the destruction of all churches and the death penalty for anyone caught smuggling a Bible into Saudi territory. At the end of the day, there is very little difference between the Saudis and ISIS. In fact, ISIS gets a lot of funding from Saudi sources, and there is more support for ISIS on Twitter from Saudi Arabia than from anywhere else. Saudi Arabia is a horribly repressive regime where women are treated like dirt, where the secret police conduct a never ending reign of terror and where even a minor deviation from sharia law can mean the loss of a limb. But because our politicians and the mainstream media constantly tell us that they are “our friends”, we cheer them on.

It is being reported that the Saudis have mobilized 150,000 troops for a ground invasion of Yemen, and Egypt says that it is ready to contribute a very large force as well. The Saudis simply were not going to just sit back and watch as pro-Iranian forces took total control of their neighbor. The following is how the Telegraph recently described what the Iranians have been up to in Yemen for the past several years…...

So Who’s Side Is Obama Really On?

Obama ran on a campaign to bring our American troops back, but who does Obama want to protect doing that? If the troops are brought back they can't kill the camel, and donkey screwers.

Erdoğan Is Already The Caliph
Of The Muslim World

By Walid Shoebat, Shoebat Foundation — At times I find myself coming across as a pestering watchman who sees the sword coming. So I blow the trumpet with the same familiar sound saying that Turkey’s Ottoman revival as a Caliphate is imminent. I talk about a near future in which Erdoğan would ask Muslims worldwide to give him allegiance as Caliph. Bay’at, as Islam calls it, which is “giving allegiance”, is the hallmark of the Antichrist as John declared: “but the fatal wound was healed! The whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast.” (Revelation 13:3)

So in order to convey my persistent message, this time I had thought to bring in watchmen from the source itself in Turkey. This way westerners can hear it from the horses mouth, from a land that many struggle the coming tyranny of Erdoğan. Today’s Zaman, a favorite of mine and a persecuted voice gives a similar perspective of what I have been trying to say, but hearing it, from the horses mouth if you will, can bring in credibility to my trumpet sound. Zaman says that Erdoğan is already a Caliph, that historically speaking, during the Ottomans “strong sultans did not actually depend on the title of caliph”. In fact, Caliph Erdoğan is sort of a nickname for the Turkish tyrant. Zaman says that the political war in Turkey between “political Islam” and “civil Islam” is over with Erdoğan being the victor. Erdoğan’s latest announcement, according to Zaman already has the hallmark of declaring Erdoğan as Caliph of the Muslim world. The Muslim scholarly powers has already asked the Muslim world to pledge allegiance to Erdoğan. So I included their article in full, added a few photos and underlined key lines. Here is the article...

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14
