An off-grid homeschool family of 12 in rural Kentucky was raided, the
mother arrested, and the 10 children seized simply because the
government disagrees with their lifestyle and their educational choices,
family members and friends say.
Until Wednesday, Joe and Nicole Naugler lived with their 10 kids in a
cabin on 26 acres in Breckinridge County, about an hour southwest of
Louisville.
“They are an extremely happy family,” family friend Pace Ellsworth told Off The Grid News.

Acting on an anonymous tip about the family’s off-grid lifestyle,
sheriff’s officers entered the property and home Wednesday, and even
blocked the access road to the family property, the family says. Joe and
eight of the children were away, but Nicole – who is five-months
pregnant – was home with the two oldest kids. Sheriff deputies then
seemingly allowed Nicole and the two children to drive away but they got
only a short distance before deputies pulled them over and took the two
children away from the mom, who was arrested for disorderly conduct and
resisting arrest. (She says the arrest took place after she did not
passively allow deputies to take the children.) Nicole was able to
contact her husband and have a brief conversation.
Later, the sheriff ordered Joe to turn over the other children by 10
a.m. or be arrested for felony charges, the family says. He complied.
Deputies also threatened to impound the car, although a friend of the
family convinced the deputies to allow Joe to have it back.

The family may be off grid, but they aren’t anonymous. In fact, they
have Internet, as well as a Facebook page dating back to 2012 where they
frequently post pictures and videos of their children, animals and
their off-grid life. A May 5 post showed a video of a toddler, Mosiah,
learning to walk. An April 24 post showed a happy family, gathering
around a campfire, roasting marshmallows.
They also post pictures alluding to their faith. Their Facebook page — which has nearly 2,000 likes — is called “My Blessed Little Homestead.”
Child Protective Services never visited the home, said Ellsworth, who
believes the arrests took place because of the parents’ choice of
“unschooling” for their children, and because of their simple way of
life that some would call backwards. The family’s Facebook page calls it
a “back to basics life.” They have a garden and raise animals. Deputies
apparently were concerned about whether the children’s needs were being
met, but friends say they personally have no concerns — and that the children are blessed to have Joe and Nicole as their parents.
In unschooling, there is no set curriculum and the education is based on each child’s strength.
“You let your kids decide the curriculum,” Ellsworth told Off The Grid News. “In unschooling, education doesn’t take a backseat. It’s listening to what they’re interested in and fascinated in.”

It’s the way all children learned before the public education movement, he said.

“This is the natural way to live,” he said. “It’s actually a growing
movement. They want to have a personal education and not a factory
education.”
Ellsworth called it “whole-life homeschooling.”
“They are completely open about their life,” he said. “Everyone is learning by living. They are all extremely intelligent.”
The family will have huge legal bills, and friends have set up a GoFundMe campaign here. More information about the family can be read here and here.
“They are industrious people trying to teach their children how to
live right,” the GoFundMe website said. “Through no fault of their own,
they will now be faced with significant legal expenses.”

MUHAMMAD ART CONTEST WINNER BANNED BY FACEBOOK, RESTORED AFTER COMPLAINTS
Incident highlights ludicrous Facebook policy of allowing offended mobs to censor content
The winner of the Muhammad art contest in Garland, Texas that was attacked by gun-wielding jihadists on Sunday was sensationally banned by Facebook, before his account was restored after vociferous complaints.
Bosch Fawstin, whose winning entry depicts a caricature of Muhammad shouting “You can’t draw me,” tweeted that he had been “removed from Facebook” yesterday.
Supporters responded by uploading images of the drawing as their Facebook profile background image.
After supporters bombarded Facebook with complaints, Fawstin’s account was restored about five hours later.
For months we have been warning that Facebook’s new policies
allow for groups of individuals to flag for deletion posts and images
which “annoy” them or they find offensive. There is also an option to
flag a post for deletion if it “goes against my views” or content which
users find “distasteful”.
This allows perfectly legitimate content to be censored by mobs of perpetually offended morons who hold differing political opinions.
As we highlighted yesterday,
the Alex Jones Facebook account was also temporarily suspended over an
image of an ISIS militant that couldn’t even be considered offensive by
any stretch of the imagination.
Ever since the attack, Pamela Geller and other individuals involved in staging the art contest have been vilified by many sectors of the media, with the press blaming the victims of the attack rather than standing up for the First Amendment.
Fawstin was also placed on a ‘hate list’ by the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center, which itself has served as an inspiration for unhinged would-be terrorists.
The immediate response from several media outlets in the aftermath of the Garland attack was to kowtow to extremists by censoring images of other artwork displayed at the event instead of defending freedom of expression.
Facebook’s decision to restore the account is the right one, but
their policy of allowing mobs to flag content with “offends” them and
have that content automatically deleted surely needs to be reconsidered
after this incident.

When The Elites Wage War On America, This Is How They Will Do It
The consequences and patterns of war, whether by one nation against
another or by a government against the citizenry, rarely change.
However, the methods of war have evolved vastly in modern times. Wars by
elites against populations are often so subtle that many people might
not even recognize that they are under attack until it is too late.
Whenever I examine the conceptions of “potential war” between
individuals and oligarchy, invariably some hard-headed person cries out:
“What do you mean ‘when?’ We are at war right now!” In this case, I am
not talking about the subtle brand of war. I am not talking about the
information war, the propaganda war, the economic war, the
psychological war or the biological war. I am talking about outright
warfare, and anyone who thinks we have already reached that point has
no clue what real war looks like.
The recent exposure of the nationwide Jade Helm 15 exercise has made
many people suspicious, and with good reason. Federal crisis exercises
have a strange historical tendency to suddenly coincide with very real
crisis events. We may know very little about Jade Helm beyond
government admissions, claims and misdirections. But at the very least,
we know what “JADE” is an acronym for: Joint Assistance for Deployment
and Execution, a program designed to create action and deployment
plans using computer models meant to speed up reaction times for
military planners during a “crisis scenario.” It is linked with another
program called ACOA (Adaptive Course of Action), the basis of which is
essentially the use of past mission successes and computer models to
plan future missions. Both are products of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
As far as I know, no one has presented any hard evidence as to what
“HELM” really stands for, but the JADE portion of the exercise
explicitly focuses on rapid force deployment planning in crisis
situations, according to the government white paper linked above. This
fact alone brings into question statements by the Department of Defense
that Jade Helm is nothing more than a training program to prepare
military units for “foreign deployment.” This is clearly a lie if Jade
Helm revolves around crisis events (which denotes domestic threats),
rather than foreign operations.
Of course, if you also consider the reality that special operations
forces ALWAYS train like they fight and train in environments similar
to where they will fight, the entire notion of Jade Helm as a
preparation for foreign theaters sounds absurd. If special operations
forces are going to fight in Iraq, Iran or Syria, they go to training
grounds in places like Kuwait. If they are training in places like Fort
Lauderdale, Florida (including “infiltration training”), then there is
no way around the fact that they are practicing to fight somewhere
exactly like Fort Lauderdale with a similar culture and population.
I would further note that Jade Helm exercises are also joint
exercises with domestic agencies like the FBI and the DEA. Again, why
include domestic law enforcement agencies in a military exercise merely
meant to prepare troops for foreign operations? I often hear the
argument that the military would never go along with such a program, but
people who take this rather presumptive position do not understand
crisis psychology. In the event of a national catastrophe many military
personnel and government employees may determine that they will do what
is "best for them and their families". And if following orders
guarantees the security of their families (food security, shelter, etc),
then they may very well follow any order, no matter how dubious. Also,
a large scale crisis could be used as a rationale for martial law;
otherwise well meaning military men and women could be convinced that
the loss of constitutional freedoms might be for the "greater good of
the greater number". I believe some military will indeed resist such
efforts, but of course, Jade Helm may also be a method for vetting such
uncooperative people before any live operation occurs.
So if Jade is actually a crisis-planning system for the military and
the military is training for domestic operations, what is the crisis it
is training to react to? It’s hard to say. I believe it will come down
to an economic disaster, but our economic and social structures are so
weak that almost any major event could trigger collapse. Terror
attacks, cyberattacks, pandemic, a stiff wind, you name it. The point
is the government expects a crisis to occur. And with the advent of
this crisis, the ultimate war on the American people will begin.
Why wait for a crisis situation? With the cover of a crisis event,
opposition to power is more easily targeted. For my starting point on
the elite war strategy, I would like to use the following presentation
on guerrilla warfare by Max Boot, Council on Foreign Relations senior
fellow and military adviser, at the elitist World Affairs Council.
I would first point out that Boot claims his work is merely a
historical character study of interesting figures from the realm of
insurgency and counterinsurgency and is not “polemical.” I’m afraid
that I will have call horse hockey on that. Boot is direct adviser to
the Department of Defense. His work and this presentation were
obviously a study of guerrilla tactics from the perspective of
counterinsurgency and an attempt to explore strategic methods for
controlling and eradicating guerrillas and “terrorists.”
Baltimore to Be the Home of the First National Police Force Obama Promised
You will hear and obey me
Baltimore will soon be the first national police force that Obama promised and Al Sharpton has been promoting. (I’m waiting for the IRS to announce they made a mistake and instead of owing taxes, Sharpton has a 20 million dollar refund coming) For a while it looked like Ferguson would hold this distinction after Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder announced that the police force there was racist, but they weren’t willing to roll over. Obama will force it on them eventually, but Baltimore will be the first.
The mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has requested that Loretta Lynch come in and take over control of their racist police department, even though almost half of their officers are black. Lynch testified in the Senate today and she was asked about the request from Baltimore and she claimed that she had not decided yet whether to accommodate Rawlings-Blake yet. Yeah, and OJ is still looking for the real killer. I predict that within the next seven days Lynch will be all over Baltimore.
I wrote an article about Obama announcing he was nationalizing all state and local police departments:
http://redstatements.co/obama-announces-his-plans-to-nationalize-local-and-state-law-enforcement/
This will become the liberalization of the police force. There will be a quota of how many blacks and Hispanics can be arrested and charged with crimes. Liberals and Rand Paul have dreamed of this for a long time and now Obama will make it a reality. No matter how disastrous the results are, Obama will hail it as a major victory and then issue an executive order allowing him to expand his control over the police all over the country. It’s being described as a review but if you put lipstick on a pig it will still be Michelle Obama.
Dealing drugs will become misdemeanors and using drugs will be a small fine. Murders will become justified depending on the race of the killer and the killed. Poverty will be an excuse to overlook criminal actions and rioters will be viewed as mini MLKs.
And this is only the beginning. Obama has to work fast.

The Secret Mountain Our Spies Will Hide In When Washington Is Destroyed
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/02/2015 17:30 -0400
It’s
after midnight. From this mountaintop perch, he can still see the
radioactive remains of what used to be Washington, D.C., illuminating
the horizon as he exits the helicopter. The nuclear glow serves as stark
proof that the intelligence community failed to foresee and prevent the
worst, but at least someone was smart enough to build this mountain
bunker in rural Virginia for him and his fellow spies to regroup and
survive. He opens the reinforced steel door and begins his descent.
This isn’t paranoid conspiracy fiction. This exact scenario was played out this week.
America’s Preparathon,
yesterday’s national pep rally—brought to you by the Department of
Homeland Security—tipped me off to this real underground bunker north of
Charlottesville, Virginia. The bunker’s purpose is completely secret,
though I was easily able to verify that it has been expanded and spiffed
up in the years since 9/11 at a cost of tens of millions of dollars. It
serves as a compact parable for everything that is wrong with
government.
Yesterday’s
Preparathon was described by its sponsor FEMA as “a grassroots campaign
for action.” Washington’s definition of action is lining up and
marching, saluting, and following orders. But there’s a secret
definition, written between the lines of the Constitution and public
laws: Officialdom evacuating from disorderly and disobedient America
before the citizenry catches up or catches on. Countless billions have
been spent on this endeavor over the years, a secret orgy of
preparedness going on behind the scenes, one that ensures Washington can
defend itself, take care of its own, and survive no matter what.
Its called continuity of government,
and it’s been refined over the years to anticipate foreign invasion,
nuclear war, catastrophic accident, rioting and citizen unrest, an
electromagnetic pulse above the capital, a catastrophic failure of
critical infrastructure, a malicious hacking of the electrical grid,
terrorist attack, hurricanes and earthquakes, an asteroid from space—you
name it. The spigot opened after 9/11, gushing tax dollars into this
subterranean world of never again, but just in case. If our
all-seeing, all-knowing national security establishment fails...well,
the White House and the Generals and the Departments large and small all
have plans to depart the capital city and recover.
But what about the spies?
And so as
it goes in Washington, the self-interested predictors of world events
decided after 9/11 that they, too, needed their own continuity
operation. That’s right: the very people who will fail to predict the
Big One will need somewhere to go and keep writing their reports.
Which brings us to Peters Mountain. This year, for the first time, the office of the Director of National Intelligence announced
that it would be participating in the Preparathon with something called
the National Intelligence Emergency Management Activity (NIEMA). The
DNI merely describes
NIEMA as providing “the framework, platforms, and systems to enable the
Director of National Intelligence to lead an integrated and resilient
[intelligence community] enterprise capable of sustaining the
‘intelligence cycle’ under any crisis or consequence management event, both at our headquarters and at our alternate operating locations” (my emphasis).
But job
descriptions, contracting documents, insider resumes, and furtive
discussions with Washington sources reveal that this little-known
“activity” is a $100-million-a-year disaster playpen. At its 24/7/365
Response Operations Center (at a classified location), watch officers
provide what’s referred to as “situational awareness and crisis support”
to the nation’s leaders; and when that fails, they evacuate to their
classified alternate facility, which sources say is in Albemarle County
in central Virginia.
There is
really only one candidate—a mysterious facility atop Peters Mountain,
roughly 16 miles east of Charlottesville—and it’s undergone a $61
million plus renovation since 2007.
Kerry: I don’t believe Israel would hit Iran without consulting us first
In Israeli TV interview, US secretary insists emerging deal will ‘protect Israel'; PM: ‘It will endanger Israel and the world’
May 3, 2015, 11:41 pm
US Secretary of State John Kerry sought to
calm Israeli worries over an emerging nuclear deal with Iran in an
interview aired Sunday, dismissing some concerns as brought on by
“hysteria” over the possible agreement.
Speaking
to Israel’s Channel 10 television, Kerry said the deal wouldn’t affect
American options to counter any possible effort by Iran to build atomic
weapons.
He also said he did not believe Israel would
surprise the United States by attacking Iran without prior consultation,
because of the “huge” potential implications.
“I say to every Israeli that today we have the
ability to stop [the Iranians] if they decided to move quickly to a
bomb. And I absolutely guarantee that in the future we will have the
ability to know what they are doing, so that we can still stop them if
they decided to move to a bomb,” Kerry said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has
been one of the harshest critics of the US-led framework deal with the
Islamic Republic, which offers it sanctions relief in exchange for
scaling back its contested nuclear program.

Israel considers a nuclear-armed Iran an
existential threat, citing hostile Iranian rhetoric toward the Jewish
state, Iran’s missile capabilities and its support for terrorist groups.
In an apparent direct response to Kerry’s comments, Netanyahu said
Sunday that the emerging deal “endangers Israel, it endangers the
region, it endangers the world, the entire world in my opinion. So I
think it’s very important to insist on a better deal.”
Kerry was adamant, nonetheless, that the
criticism is misplaced, and that the deal emphatically benefits Israel.
“We will not sign a deal that does not close off Iran’s pathways to a
bomb and that doesn’t give us the confidence — to all of our experts, in
fact to global experts — that we will be able to know what Iran is
doing and prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon,” Kerry told
Channel 10.
The emerging deal “will in fact protect Israel,” he said, and he vowed that the US “will never disappoint Israel.”
Kerry made clear that the US maintained all its options, including the military option, to thwart Iran.
He did not directly rule out the possibility
of Israeli military action, but he said he did not believe Israel would
attack independently of the US. Asked whether he thought he might “wake
up one morning” to find that Israel had launched an offensive in Iran,
Kerry said: “Obviously, for the most part that’s hypothetical, until we
know what the circumstances are where that choice might or might not be
made.”
He went on: “I do not believe frankly that
Israel… that we’d wake up one morning and find that. I believe our
relationship with Israel is such that the prime minister would talk to
us at considerable length, because we would be deeply involved in what
would happen as an aftermath, and there are huge implications to that.”
Netanyahu believes the potential deal leaves
intact too much of Iran’s contested nuclear program, including research
facilities and advanced centrifuges capable of enriching uranium, a key
ingredient in building an atomic bomb.
“We will have inspectors in there every single
day; that is not a 10-year deal, that is forever,” Kerry countered.
“There is a lot of hysteria about this deal. People really need to look
at the facts, and they need to look at the science of what is behind
those facts.”
Kerry was robust and insistent in highlighting
the Obama administration’s support for Israel. “Every week we step up
to defend Israel in one forum or another in the world,” he said, citing
the UN, the ICC and other institutions. “We constantly are voting,
working, pushing in order to push back against unfair, biased, bigoted,
degrading, inappropriate assaults on Israel’s sovereignty, integrity,
and we stand up for it,” he said.
“In fact,” he went on, “we’re even being
kicked out of entities at the UN now because we stand up [for Israel].
And we have a law that says if the Palestinians do something, then we
would not pay our dues. Well guess what? Because of that we’re losing
our vote in UNESCO.” He said the US had asked Netanyahu “to give us a
waiver so that we can at least be able to defend Israel [at UNESCO].”
Kerry noted without elaboration that the
administration had “designed and deployed a weapon that has the ability
to deal with Iran’s nuclear program.” That, he said, was just one mark
of “an administration and a government and a country that will stand by
Israel way into the future.”
“No administration in American history has literally done as much,’ he said, “to try to help Israel in so many ways.”
President Barack Obama “wants a strong and normal relationship with the government and the prime minister,” he said.
He denied that Netanyahu’s speech to both
houses of Congress in early March had sparked a crisis in ties —
“I don’t think there is a crisis,” he said, though he acknowledged a
flare-up over the procedure by which that speech was arranged.
And he didn’t accept there was poor chemistry
between Netanyahu and Obama: “I don’t get into the chemistry,” he said.
“I’m not here to be psychologist or psychobabble-ist. My job as
secretary of state is to work with our allies and our friends. And
Israel is a great ally and a great friend.”
“I am confident that the relationship between
the president and the prime minster will be viewed… as one that is
operating on all the critical issues,” Kerry said.
Channel 2 reported Sunday that Netanyahu told
Kerry to hold off on a visit to Israel earlier this year until after a
coalition is formed.
