So you're proud of Massachusetts are ya! You got to be sick!!!

Note: Many reader's will be in denial about this when the vast majority voted for the people that allowed this to happen...if you're still in denial that's proof that you don't know who you're voting for...if that's not the case you are most likely in favor of this disease that is destroying our country (...and you know where you can go!).  If you are strictly against what is going on in your schools then maybe you ought to give up that political party that has indoctrinated your brain since the 1930's.  What 'good' have they done?  If you call the following survey, "good" then you are a very sick person (repeat parenthetical phrase here). ~ Norman E. Hooben

Unbelievable surveys given to children in Massachusetts -- and schools across America
On sexuality, suicide, drug use, criminal activity, etc.
Wait until you see the questions (below)!
Across Massachusetts – and across America – thousands of schoolchildren are given sexually graphic, psychologically intrusive surveys by the public schools without parents’ knowledge. These surveys also ask youth to reveal their criminal activity, personal family matters, and other intimate issues.
This is done in the public middle schools and high schools during school hours. At best, parents are told about the surveys in vague terms, but are rarely allowed read them beforehand. The surveys are “officially” anonymous and voluntary. But they are administered by the teacher in a classroom and (according to teachers we’ve talked to) there is often pressure for all kids to participate.
NOTE:MassResistance has filed bill H382 in the Massachusetts Legislature. It would require written permission from parents before students are given these surveys – and force schools to let parents see the surveys beforehand!.CALL the Education Committee at 617-722-2070 and tell them to PASS bill H382 to protect children!
The major survey given to kids across America is the “Youth Risk Behavior Survey” put together every two years by the national Centers for Disease Control and handed off to state and local education departments (which they can modify).

The above questions are from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Survey given to students in Canton, Mass, (which parents there were able to get for us) and from the statewide Massachusetts 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey posted on the Mass Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Education (DOE) website.
Unscientific, destructive and deceitful
Parents and others who see these surveys are overwhelmingly shocked, upset, and angry. Here are just a few of the problems:
1. Psychological distortion of reality. Going through a battery of questions asking "how many times" a child has engaged in certain sex acts, drug use, illegal or unhealthy activity (or attempting suicide) will likely cause the child to believe he is abnormal if he is not doing it at all – especially since the survey comes from an authority figure.
2. Personal information. Having children to reveal personal issues about themselves and their family can have emotional consequences and from the parents’ point of view is extremely invasive.
3. Grossly unscientific. Experts in surveys we’ve shown these to say they’re unscientific on several levels. The respondents are (officially) self-selected. The surveys include “leading questions” similar to push-polls. The questions are so outrageous that (we’ve been told by students) they provoke exaggeration and untruthful answers.
4. Results used for funding of radical groups. This is the main reason for the existence of these surveys: The surveys create misleading "statistics" that are used by radical groups from Planned Parenthood to LGBT groups to persuade politicians to give more taxpayer money these groups – and to let them into schools – to “help solve” these “huge” problems that these surveys reveal. It is a very emotional appeal, and millions of dollars are budgeted on the basis of these very questionable surveys.

How the Youth Risk surveys are done in Massachusetts

Every two years the Mass. DOE creates a new statewide version of the CDC national Youth Risk Behavior Survey and makes it available to each school district. The school districts can further modify the surveys if they wish and are given wide discretion as to how they notify parents, whether they allow the parents to see the surveys, how the surveys are administered to the students, etc.
In many districts, it’s a nightmare for parents, who rarely even know that their children were given the survey. That’s not an accident. School officials are well aware that if parents were to read these surveys beforehand, almost none of them would want their children to participate.
We telephoned the Mass. DOE to ask them questions about how schools administer the test and whether we can get a copy of the 2015 statewide survey. They were not eager to discuss it with us. We were told they were “too busy” to answer our questions over the phone and we must submit them via email. We did so, and are still waiting for a reply.

Many teachers uncomfortable with the surveys

We have spoken with teachers in Massachusetts who have told us that they are pressured by schools to present the surveys to kids as if it were a normal procedure, and to not to discourage them from taking it. But some teachers do rebel against that. In 2010 a teacher in Illinois was disciplined for informing his students that they had a constitutional right to decline the survey (reported in the Chicago Tribune).

Parents and others need to stop this!

It's been our experience that the people who do this have no interest whatsoever in how this affects children or their families. From the politicians and the activists down to the school officials, it's mostly about money, ideology, politics, and control. Even when the obvious and harmful flaws are pointed out, there is no effort to change. It will take angry parents and citizens to stop this. That's why MassResistance filed Bill H382 in the Massachusetts Legislature which will completely empower parents. The fight begins!

Netanyahu Endorses Senator Ted Cruz


“For six years I have been dumbfounded at the level of incompetency, naivety, and rudeness that Obama and his administration exhibit [...towards Israel] on an almost daily basis.” ~ Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu
Source: Conservative Fifty Dot Com
Netanyahu Endorses Candidate in U.S. Presidential Race
* TEL AVIV, ISRAEL: In a nearly unprecedented move, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has endorsed a candidate in the 2016 race for President of the United States. Netanyahu made his announcement during an early morning press conference Friday.
Traditionally, the protocol among heads of state has been to steer clear of any and all political endorsement of other candidates or incumbent heads of state, and to not in any way be involved in the elections of other nations.
But perhaps being fueled by anger after recently learning that current U.S. President, Barak Obama has at US taxpayer expense, sent a team of his political operatives into Israel ahead of Israel’s March 17, 2015 elections in an effort to unseat Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister has broken the long standing protocol and gotten involved in the US presidential race.
The Israeli newspaper, Haaretz recently reported that a U.S. taxpayer-funded non-profit by the name of OneVoice has been working inside Israel with a campaign operation called Victory 2015 in a joint effort to unseat Prime Minster Netanyahu, who they view as being“too anti-Islam” and “too hawkish”. Spokespersons for the operations say they intend to replace Netanyahu with a more “liberally progressive” candidate who will be more accommodating to the desires of Islamic nations in the region.
In a sharply damning response to Obama’s involvement in the Israeli election, staunchly pro-Israel U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, R – Texas, and Congressman Lee Zeldin, R – NY -1 sent a letter on Thursday to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry requesting that Kerry launch an investigation into Obama’s involvement and any U.S. tax dollars being used.
In the letter to Kerry, Cruz said, “Has President Obama launched a political campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu and his representatives?” Sen. Cruz asked. “This administration’s relentless harassment of Israel is utterly incomprehensible. The Islamic Republic of Iran is pursuing the deadliest weapons on the planet, and there can be no doubt that their first target will be Israel, followed by the United States. This administration should be focusing its animosity on the very real enemies we face, not on our staunch allies.”
The relationship between Obama and Netanyahu has been an icy one at best from the time Obama took office. Obama has made numerous trips to the region and seemingly snubbed the leader of America’s staunchest Ally, Israel. The U.S./Israeli relationship became extremely strained in the last few months as Obama threatened Israel with sanctions over its actions to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
But the tension came to an explosive head when recently, Speaker of the House, John Boehner issued an invitation to Netanyahu to visit the U.S. and address a joint session of Congress. The Obama administration has reportedly been livid over Boehner not going through the White House with his invitation, and Obama has refused to meet with Netanyahu during his visit.
The political fallout in the U.S. as well as around the world over Obama’s snubbing of the Israeli leader, and especially Obama’s overt campaign efforts to unseat Netanyahu has been intense. Undoubtedly, such an unprecedented endorsement will have a major affect on the presidential race as 2016 draws near. It’s as yet unclear what if any affect Obama’s efforts will have against the Prime Minister, since his (Obama’s) is not an official endorsement of an opposition candidate, though Haaretz reports that it may have a significant affect.
During his endorsement press conference, Netanyahu said that he respected long standing protocol, but that enough was enough and he had to take political action of his own. “I have been long suffering and patient with the Obama administration. For six years I have been dumbfounded at the level of incompetency, naivety, and rudeness that Obama and his administration exhibit on an almost daily basis. He (Obama) has shown nothing but contempt for Israel and the Israeli people, and shown support and given aid to our enemies. Obama broke protocol first when he sent his thugs over here to try and unseat me. I am not doing this for myself, but for the sake of Israel and the U.S. When facing a bully, there comes a point where you have to hit back, and hit hard.”
Netanyahu continued, “After serious consideration and looking over a very deep and qualified field of potential candidates, I have decided to give my support, my personal endorsement if you will, to Senator Ted Cruz. Ted has been a stalwart supporter of Israel and our people. He is one of the few leaders in the U.S. government with the intestinal fortitude to call terrorism ‘terrorism’, and directly address the threat of radical Islam and a nuclear Iran. Ted has proven to be fearless in fighting against the odds when he must, something I as the leader of a tiny nation surrounded by enemies can relate to.” He concluded, “Over the last two years Ted and I have been in regular contact, we have worked closely together on policy. To say the least, he (Cruz) has been an unwavering ally; and what’s more he’s been a true friend. I would ask the American people, and the freedom loving members of the world community to join me in supporting Ted Cruz as the next U.S President.”
Though Obama will not be on the ballot in 2016, undoubtedly his policies will, and Netanyahu’s endorsement is a clear repudiation to Obama and his legacy.

In response to the news, Cruz released a statement saying in part that, “I cannot begin to express how humbled and honored I am to have one of the greatest world leaders give his endorsement to me. I have always, and will always stand for Israel, and for liberty in the Mideast region. As the Prime Minister has expressed, the actions of the Obama administration toward Israel are inexcusable. We must turn the tables on our foreign policy. If I am fortunate enough to earn the support of the American people and become president, I look forward to working with Mr. Netanyahu in a much closer more effective way. Together the U.S. and Israel will again stand as strong allies.”
Cruz concluded by giving his own endorsement to Netanyahu for his reelection. “I ask the people of Israel to once again support Mr. Netanyahu. The world is in crisis, and your Prime Minister is a rock solid leader for such a time. It’s not a time for instability and change in Israel. You must show your enemies that you are united behind a strong leader, Benjamin Netanyahu.”
Sources close to Cruz say that he and Netanyahu plan to have closed door meetings together when the Prime Minister visits in March, and the two plan to meet many times, both in the U.S. and Israel as each campaign for reelection.
*Obviously this is a satire piece. Well half satire anyway. However, there are always those who believe anything posted in on the internet, so again, DISCLAIMER: This article is satire.
But while being satire, there is a great deal of it that is true, hence it being “half” satire. It’s true that Obama and Netanyahu hate each other, and that Boehner invited Netanyahu to address Congress, and that Obama is pitching a temper tantrum over it and refusing to meet with the Prime Minister. It’s true that Obama has threatened sanctions against Israel. It’s true that Obama has embraced and aided our enemies, namely radical Islam and its nations. It’s true, disgustingly so, that Obama has sent political campaign operatives to Israel at U.S. TAXPAYER EXPENSE in an effort to unseat Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, our most staunch ally. It’s also true that Cruz and Congressman Zeldin have sent a letter to John Kerry asking for an investigation into it, and the information given regarding the campaign against Netanyahu, as well as the quote from Cruz about it is accurate as cited by news sources linked.
Basically everything in the article is true except for Netanyahu endorsing Cruz and vice versa, and their quotes regarding said endorsements. So there again, half satire. Maybe one-quarter satire, three-quarters truth….But I digress.
But what makes satire so effective is the grain, or in this case, barrels of grain of truth it contains. I am simply appalled at the actions of Obama and his administration. In fact I am ashamed of him. I am in many ways ashamed to call myself an American after the way Obama has blatantly broken all protocol and taken every opportunity to snub our allies, all while giving aid and support to our mutual enemies.
It is inexcusable that a US president is sending his political thugs, reportedly at U.S. taxpayer expense, to unseat our staunchest ally, one of our few remaining allies in the world. Few remaining strong allies anyway. And what’s more inexcusable is that on and on this type thing has been going for 6 years, yet Congress, republicans and democrats alike have done nothing, repeat nothing to stop it. Well, at least nothing but what Ted Cruz and a small handful of others have been doing. Unfortunately though, they cannot do much without others supporting their efforts.
That brings us to the final truth herein – Ted Cruz: It is very true much that he is arguably Israel’s staunchest ally. among U.S. leaders. It is true that Ted Cruz, like Netanyahu is fearless in the face of overwhelming odds and enemies. Everything that BiBi Netanyahu “said” in his “endorsement” above regarding Cruz is true, though he never actually said it. That is why the U.S. Jewish community is showing major support for Cruz. And remember, traditionally U.S. Jews have been primarily democrat voters. Obama won the Jewish vote twice. Can you say buyer’s remorse?… They are also mega money donors, and Cruz having their support is a major plus for him.
netanyah and cruz
Ted Cruz will not get an official endorsement from Netanyahu, nor will any candidate for POTUS because unlike Obama, Netanyahu is a consummate professional, an adult, a leader, and not a political bottom feeder like Obama. (I really hate to insult catfish by using the term ‘bottom feeder’ to describe Obama, but hey, what’s a writer to do?…)
But if Ted Cruz gets the endorsement of the American people, the only endorsement in the end which matters,(which increasingly he seems to be getting en masse) then perhaps the U.S., Israel, and the rest of the free world can again have some adult leadership and trust among allies, and put respectful fear back into the hearts of our enemies.

TWO CIA AGENTS ARRESTED BY MINUTEMEN WHILE CROSSING MEXICAN BORDER WITH 1300 POUNDS OF COCAINE

Would you call this a big lie?
“The CIA doesn’t take part in drug smuggling operations at the US-Mexican border”

The following from World Truth TV
El Paso:  A group of minutemen watching the Mexican Border for illegal migrants and drug traffickers have proceeded to the citizen arrest of two men in an SUV, carrying 1300 pounds of cocaine. The volunteers were completely astonished when the two arrestees pulled out CIA ID cards and explained they were actually carrying the drug as part of their duties and that the cargo belonged to the Central Intelligence Agency.

Provided by Storm'n Norm'n
The incident took place last night, in the Chihuahuan desert, near the Texan city of El Paso.  A group of seven minutemen saw a large black SUV drive rapidly across the border. They chased the vehicle in their own trucks and were able to immobilize it after a chase of more than 15 miles.
The vigilantes arrested the two men on board and called the border patrol; the border patrol searched the vehicle.  They discovered dozens of packages of cocaine, totaling an incredible 618.4 kilograms (1363 pounds).
The search of the vehicle revealed 36 packages of cocaine, all marked with the symbol of the Sinaloa Cartel, representing a black scorpion.
The two men claim to be CIA operatives based in Mexico and explained that the drug was actually part of an operation of the agency. They presented identity cards that seem to validate their claim, but the CIA spokesperson, Dean Boyd, has officially denied any link between the organization and the two men.

“The CIA doesn’t take part in drug smuggling operations at the US-Mexican border” said M. Boyd. “I do not know, for now, if the men are actually affiliated to the agency in any way, but I can tell you the cocaine doesn’t belong to the CIA.”


Both the border patrol officers and minutemen seem unconvinced, however, and many of them seem to believe that the secret service agency is hiding something. The U.S. custom services have even announced a thorough investigation to try and verify the two men’s story.

“Both of them had valid Accreditation and a receipt for their cargo” says Shawn Francis Miller, spokesman of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the El Paso sector. “What drug dealer in his right mind, demands a receipt for 1300 pounds of cocaine? There is really something strange about these guys, and we believe the CIA possibly knows more than what it is ready to admit.”

The custom services have confirmed that the two men, who can’t be identified due to the Intelligence Identities and Protection Act of 1982, did carry valid CIA identifications and that the vehicle was indeed registered as a service vehicle of the organization.

The two men remain under the custody of the custom services at the moment, and are still being interrogated in a facility near El Paso. They are facing charges of possessing, trafficking and importing illegal drugs, and could face other criminal charges once the investigation is over.

Both the FBI and the DEA have announced that they would collaborate with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection on this case, which has already attracted a lot of attention in Southern Texas.
