EU To Force Britons To Publish Details Of Wills And Property

A bill being debated in Brussels would force UK citizens to disclose 'reams' of private, financial information on a public register 

By Richard Dyson: New legislation planned in Brussels is set to heap fresh costs and paperwork on families’ financial planning, as well as leaving their affairs open to unwanted public scrutiny.

A European law is being drafted whose original aim was to prevent corporate money-laundering. The objective, supported by the UK, was to force companies to disclose on a register the money and other assets held inside trusts or equivalent legal arrangements.

But officials in Brussels have widened out the proposals as the bill has evolved, to include trusts. The effect could be to force millions of families to compile elaborate accounts of their assets and financial arrangements including insurance policies, property and bequests made in their wills, for entry into a register. And that register, if legislators get their way, could be made available to any member of the public.

221 Percent Increase In One Year? Why Are So Many People Renouncing American Citizenship?

By Michael Snyder: The number of Americans that renounced their citizenship was 221 percent higher in 2013 than it was in 2012.  That is a staggering figure, and it is symptomatic of a larger trend.  In recent years, a lot of really good people with very deep roots in this country have made the difficult decision to say goodbye to the United States permanently.  A few actually go to the trouble to renounce their citizenship, and that is mostly done for tax purposes.  But most willingly choose to leave America for other reasons.  Some were very serious when they said they would leave the U.S. if Barack Obama got a second term, some (such as Jesse Ventura) are dismayed at how our freedoms and liberties are eroding and are alarmed at the rise of the Big Brother police state, some are absolutely disgusted by the social and moral decay that is eating away at the foundations of our society, and there are yet others that consider "the grass to be greener" on the other side of the planet.  Personally, I have a number of friends that have made the very hard decision to relocate their families thousands of miles away because they see what is coming to America and they believe that there isn't any hope of turning things around at this point.

White Knight Rand Paul Says Clinton "Took Advantage" Of Lewinsky

Relevant quote:
"One of the workplace laws and rules that I think are good is that bosses should not prey on young interns in their office. And I think really the media seems to have given President Clinton a pass on this. He took advantage of a girl that was 20 years old and an intern in his office. There is no excuse for that, and that is predatory behavior... Then they (Democrats) have the gall to stand up and say, 'Republicans are having a war on women.' "

Men Are Financing The State’s Assaults… On Men

By Mike Buchanan: The following is an article just published by The Backbencher, an online magazine aimed mainly at young adults with an interest in politics, especially university students.
Men pay 72% of the income tax collected in the UK, women only 28%.¹ British men collectively paid £64 BILLION more income tax than women in 2012/13, yet the state relentlessly assaults the interests of men, never the interests of women. In our party’s public consultation document² we list 20 areas in which the state, through its actions and inactions, advantages women (and/or girls) over men (and/or boys).
Feminist politicians and civil servants systematically advantage women at men’s expense, but the mainstream media rarely report on the extent of their manipulations, and it can be difficult to ‘join up the dots’. Let me join a few of them up for you.
Two-thirds of public sector employees are women, and women use the ‘positive action’ provisions in the 2010 Equality Act to preference women over men when recruiting and promoting, where women are ‘under-represented’. While men could conceivably be preferenced over women on the same grounds, they never are.
Men and boys have been disadvantaged by an increasingly feminised education system.

Security Researcher: Sochi Hacking Story Was ’100% Fraudulent,’ NBC Defends Report

By End The Lie: Security researchers have revealed that the NBC story about visitors to Russia getting hacked almost immediately is “wrong in every salient detail,” but NBC is defending their report.
Errata Security, a cybersecurity firm out of Atlanta, Georgia, published a blog post stating that the NBC story was “100% fraudulent,” in which they pointed out many questionable details.
For instance, the NBC story as published gave the impression that Richard Engel was in Sochi. In reality, he was in Moscow, over 1,000 miles away from Sochi.
The NBC story gave the impression that they were hacked simply by connecting to local WiFi networks. In reality, they were hacked because they visited Olympic-themed websites, according to Robert Graham of Errata Security.
Graham states that Engel’s phone didn’t even get “hacked” as such, but instead that Engel downloaded a malicious Android application onto his phone.
In order to download that malicious app, Engel had to disable the security features on his phone. Graham reports that this is “something few users would do.”

Milk Is Dangerous for Your Health

"There is no biological requirement for cow’s milk. It is nature’s perfect food but only if you are a calf.. The evidence of its benefits are overstated, and the evidence of its harm to human populations is increasing."
By Dr. Mark Hyman: Western/US current government guidelines recommend drinking three glasses of milk a day for every American over five.  For kids under five, Uncle Sam recommends chugging two glasses a day.  But is milk a health food?  Should we really be eating dairy?  Is there any real science behind this, or is this just the result of the powerful Dairy Council lobby?

The Gender Wage Gap Is A Myth

American Enterprise Institute: The wage gap myth, most recently used by President Obama during the State of the Union Address, states that women make only 77 cents to every dollar that men earn. AEI resident scholar Christina Hoff Sommers debunks the bogus statistic.

French Protests Thwart Passing Gay Marriage Law - Turkish Girl

Angelo: Interesting interview by ‘Morris’ with ‘Turkish Girl’ “The biggest debate in France is about gender theory.” “Satanic government is targeting the children to have no identity” to do this… “In France the minister for education and the minister for women’s rights have established a partnership with a rather influential lobby ‘LGBT’”
Media black out and false information regarding protester numbers of apparently 500,000 people in Paris alone and over 100,000 in Lyon. Families fight back. Seems that covered up by our own western lame-stream media blackout, the French people agree its OK to criticize feminists, lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders.

My Thoughts on Mt. Gox

By Michael Krieger: I was going to start this article by stating: “Mt. Gox needs to get its shit together.”
But its too late for that. Much too late.
Mt.Gox has been the dominant Bitcoin exchange pretty much since the beginning. In its brief history, it has suffered several bad setbacks, with the one last spring an incident I am intimately familiar with. There were plenty of reasons to give them a pass in the past, and many of us did. It was early. It was a complete and total Wild West and all of us interested were learning this thing together. There were bound to be some major growing pains. Gox made some changes, came back up and a great deal was forgiven. Not this time.
Bitcoin is no longer in Phase 1 of its evolutionary cycle. I believe Phase 2 for Bitcoin began in earnest back in November 2013, when the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs held its first hearings on the topic. Those hearings made it clear that, at least for the moment, no significant roadblocks would be put in place to prevent people from transacting with one another using the crypto-currency. Phase 2 also saw the largest Bitcoin investment to-date, a $25 million infusion led by Silicon Valley VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, as well as acceptance by major U.S. retailers, with Overstock being the most significant. Bitcoin is becoming serious, and serious means serious accountability.

From Woman To Man To Red Pill - Revisited

By Steven: I never thought my transition from female to male would lead me to the Men’s Rights Movement.
I never even knew such a thing existed until a year after the fact. My transition was not about sexual politics, but about achieving personal brain-body congruence. I was correcting an internal dysphoria that had persisted since age 7, when I angrily declared to the boy next door that I was “Super Boy and not Super Girl,” and staunchly defended my decision to enter the boys’ restroom to a stressed-out elementary school teacher.
At 11 I begged my mother to let me cut my hair as short as possible and was thrilled when our dentist mistook me for a boy. In short, everything I was inside; everything that I could sense and attach to my identity, was male, even as my body said otherwise.
That conflict intensified harshly. The next year I tried to cut off the breast stubs that grew on my chest with a steak knife, and expressed a strong desire to get breast cancer, “so that I can get a double mastectomy like Grandma!” When I was 16 I developed anorexia in order to stop my periods and shrink my breasts as much as possible.
My distress never had much to do with social roles, and for the most part I did not transition in order to gain any perceived social privilege. I played with Barbie dolls and dressed up as a princess (though I always added a sword just to prove I was a tough princess). Xena was my role model.
