George Soros must be stopped!

Dear Fellow Patriot,

The media in this country have become an appendage of the White House and the Democratic National Party. They are the spokespeople for Obama and his leftist agenda. They refuse to tell the truth about the failed liberal policies in Washington.

In the months leading up to the general election, the liberal media parroted talking points that came directly from the White House. The "war on women," "income inequality," and "the plight of the middle class" all suddenly became election-year issues through a deceitful collaboration between the liberal media and the Democratic Party.

But this web of deceit goes even higher than the White House. Billionaire George , who donated heavily to elect Barack Obama and who funds an endless list of left-wing causes to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, is on a crusade to destroy Fox News, conservative talk radio, and any media that dare to tell the truth!

The ONLY thing standing between billionaire George and the complete destruction of truth-telling conservative outlets is the Media Research Center.

That's why the MRC has launched a new campaign to combat the Media of Mass Corruption. With President Obama in the White House and George funneling billions of dollars toward the destruction of conservative news outlets, we cannot afford to back down at this critical time.

Your support is crucial in helping the MRC expose the liberal press that spews the White House talking points and carries water for socialists like George .

Please visit MediaofMassCorruption.com and learn more about how you can help equip us in the battle for truth!

Sincerely,



L. Brent Bozell III
Founder and President

A WISH TO LIVE FOREVER

I met a fairy who said she would grant me one wish.

Immediately I said, "I want to live forever."

"Sorry," said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant eternal life."

"OK," I said, "Then, I want to die after Congress gets its head out of its ass!"

"You crafty bastard," said the fairy.

15 Signs That The Ring Of Fire Is Waking Up As We Head Into 2013
By Michael, on December 18th, 2012
While most of the world has been focused on other things, the Ring of Fire has been quietly waking up. Over the past couple of months, there has been a steady string of noteworthy volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that have occurred along the perimeter of the Pacific Ocean. But because none of them have happened near a highly populated area, we really haven’t heard much about them in the news. But if activity along the Ring of Fire continues to increase, it is inevitable that a major event will happen near a major city at some point. When that happens, the entire world will be focused on the Ring of Fire once again. Most people don’t realize that approximately 90 percent of all earthquakes and approximately 75 percent of all volcanic eruptions occur along the Ring of Fire. The entire west coast of the United States sits along the Ring of Fire and a massive network of faults runs underneath California, Oregon and Washington. Fortunately, the west coast has not experienced any devastating seismic events in recent years, but scientists assure us that will change at some point. So it is important to sit up and take notice when there are reports of increasing activity along the Ring of Fire.

Unfortunately, most Americans cannot even tell you what the Ring of Fire is. The following is how Wikipedia defines the “Ring of Fire”…

The Pacific Ring of Fire (or sometimes just the Ring of Fire) is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements.

It runs roughly along the rim of the Pacific Ocean. Coastal residents of four different continents realize that a major event along the Ring of Fire could fundamentally change their lives in a single moment.

Nearly all of the worst earthquakes in modern history have occurred along the Ring of Fire. When the Ring of Fire is very active, it is a very big deal. That is why so many people are alarmed that the Ring of Fire seems to be entering a period of increased activity.

The following are 15 signs that the Ring of Fire is waking up as we head into 2013…

#1 Mount Lokon, which is located in Indonesia, has erupted more than 800 times since July. On Monday, volcanic ash from the volcano reached heights of up to 10,000 feet.

#2 An “orange alert” had been issued for towns and villages near the Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador. On Tuesday it erupted and shot lava up to a half mile above its crater.

#3 Lava is still flowing out of the Tolbachik volcano which is located on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Anyone that has ever played the board game “Risk” knows where Kamchatka is located.

#4 Lava also continues to flow and ash also continues to rise from the Fuego volcano in Guatemala.

#5 On Tuesday, an ash plume more than 2.5 kilometers high had risen from the Paluweh volcano in Indonesia.

#6 There was an average of about 4 seismic events per hour at the Popocatépetl volcano in Mexico on Tuesday.

#7 Scientists recently discovered “one of the world’s weirdest volcanoes” on the floor of the ocean just off the coast of Baja, Mexico.

#8 Mt. Fuji (located not too far from Tokyo, Japan) has been dormant for about 300 years, but in recent months there have been increasing signs of activity there. One study recently found that a “magma chamber under the mountain has come under immense pressure“, and one prominent scientist is warning that Mt. Fuji is due for “a big-scale explosive eruption“. Authorities were alarmed when a tunnel leading to Mt. Fuji collapsed on December 2nd, killing 9 people.

#9 Scientists are now warning that there is a very dangerous build up of magma at a large number of Japan’s 110 active volcanoes.

#10 A magnitude-6.1 earthquake struck off the coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia on Monday.

#11 A magnitude-6.0 earthquake hit the New Britain region of Papua New Guinea on Saturday.

#12 A magnitude-6.5 earthquake struck the Gulf of Alaska in mid-November.

#13 A magnitude-7.3 earthquake hit Japan earlier this month.

#14 There has been a substantial increase in earthquake activity in the Long Valley caldera region of California, and authorities tell us that “magma is indeed moving down there“.

#15 Over one recent five week period, more than 170 significant earthquakes were detected in one town in Chile. That town is now being called “one of the shakiest places on earth”.

All of those events occurred along the Ring of Fire.

So why is all of this happening?

Well, there are certainly a lot of theories out there.

In the United States, a large percentage of the population is convinced that an increase in natural disasters is evidence that we are in the “last days” described in the Bible. In fact, one recent survey found that a whopping 36 percent of all Americans believe that the increase in natural disasters that we have seen in recent years is an indication that we are in the end times…

More than a third of Americans believe the severity of recent natural disasters is evidence that we are in the “end times” described in the New Testament — a period of turmoil preceding Jesus’ Second Coming and the end of the world.

“There is a significant proportion of Americans who see these phenomena through a theological lens,” said Daniel Cox, research director at the Public Religion Research Institute, which released a poll on religion and climate change on Thursday (Dec. 13) in partnership with Religion News Service.

“It’s hardly a fringe belief. It’s nearly four in 10 Americans who are embracing this,” Cox said.

The conviction is particularly strong among white evangelical Protestants (65 percent), and less common among Catholics (21 percent) and the religiously unaffiliated (15 percent).

Other Americans believe that there are other causes for all of these natural disasters, and a large number of Americans are absolutely convinced that nothing unusual is happening at all.

CVA's Defend & Reform Forum Wrap-Up

What does the future hold for U.S. defense spending? With military budget cuts looming, how will the U.S. maintain military superiority? And what does a 'good' defense cut look like?

These-and others like them-are the questions panelists grappled with at a December 11th policy luncheon hosted by Concerned Veterans for America [CVA] and The Weekly Standard in Washington, D.C.

Entitled "Defend & Reform: The Future of America's Defense Spending", the event was moderated by William Kristol of The Weekly Standard and featured speeches from both Senator Lindsey Graham [R-SC] and Senator Kelly Ayotte [R-NH]. Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution provided the keynote address and was joined by a distinguished panel of experts that included U.S. Congressman Mike Coffman [R-Colo.], Steve Bucci [The Heritage Foundation], Pete Hegseth [Concerned Veterans for America], and Russell Rumbaugh [Stimson Center ].

The event was sold out, and over 4,800 people watched the event live on our website. But if you missed the event-no problem. Below you will find hyperlinks to videos for each individual speaker, as well as transcripts, photos, and pertinent quotes.

Concerned Veterans for America [CVA] believes Congress should undertake serious reforms to defense spending to maintain a sustainable fiscal path that preserves American power. To that end, over the past five months, CVA has produced five "case studies " that examine various examples of defense cuts and reforms, with an eye towards identifying what makes for smart, strategic, and effective defense reforms.
