VoteThemOut2014.net Has A Scorecard
Vote Them Out is decidedly nonpartisan. They claim to have only one goal: "to vote Congress out in 2014. Hold both sides accountable," they write, "and let's get this country back on course." They offer a voting record that emphasizes half a dozen House votes, although two of those votes were in 2008 before many current members of Congress had been elected.

Listen now to today's Hoffman call-in radio interview
My interview by journalist Mark Anderson on his call-in radio program has been archived and is available for listening online free of charge, as a public service. The program is approximately two hours in duration. It is centered on a discussion of the book, Usury in Christendom: The Mortal Sin that Was and Now is Not.Saying the broadcast is "free of charge" is somewhat misleading in that my appearance on the program was made possible by donations from truth-seekers whose gifts fund our research and public activism.

Is Israel Deliberately Derailing Negotiations?
One of the favored tactics of Israeli politicians over the years has been to promote the fact that they are willing to negotiate with the Palestinians “without preconditions.” This tactic is a beneficial public relations stunt because it is juxtaposed by the Palestinian side, which has opposed negotiations unless Israel first freezes its illegal settlement construction in the West Bank. Israel gets to pretend like they are the less obstinate side, more willing to talk peace.

Newest Syrian Chemical Weapons False Flag Attack: UN Chemical Weapons Inspectors Shot At By Snipers! (Now WHO Would Do That?)

So What Is The Quality Of The Real Economy?
The numbers we are given about the economy are lies. Using Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), a former IMF economist calculated that China surpassed America’s GDP in 2010. Zero Hedge reported that Spain’s real GDP is 21% less than what their government officially claims. Peter Schiff has said America’s GDP is 3.3 trillion dollars less than our Banker Occupied Government (BOG ) in Washington has told us. PPP would take our GDP even lower than what Schiff claims. PPP discounts services like haircuts which are cheaper in China but cannot be exported to America.
