Cyprus Banks Reopening Hi-light Why Our Government Wants to Take Our Guns

LINK to Cyprus Banks Story

If you are aware of what's going on in Cyprus right now, you'll realize that this is why there are those in our government that want to take our guns from us here in America. How would you like it if the government imposed limits on how much of YOUR money you can take from the bank? That's what they're doing in Cyprus right now. They've also made it illegal to have more than 1000 Euros on your person. That would be like saying that anyone in the U.S. with more than $1000 on them is breaking the law and the police would have the right to confiscate the money above $1000 that you have on you!

That's unlikely to happen in this country because the citizens still have the right to own and bear arms. Let's see what happens in this country if the government tries to take your money out of your bank account while we're armed. It would be easy to do when we're all running around with pitch forks and baseball bats, it's something else when we're armed with AR-15's and 9mm pistols.

Barnes & Noble Chairman wants to separate physical stores from Nook e-business

With the Nook e-reader turning into little more than a "niche" market for Barnes & Noble, the Chairman, Leonard Riggio wants to buy out the physical stores and spin off their e-reader business as a separate company. With disappointing sales of the nook reader and their e-book business also down this past Christmas season, one has to wonder if perhaps Mr. Riggio is trying to save a sinking ship by tossing a heavy anchor overboard?!

Winter Storm Q! Oh My!

Really? The National Weather Service is giving names to winter storms now? What's next? Are they going to start naming every thunderstorm that races across the US this year? "Thunderstorm Tobias is currently marching from the Mid-West to the Mid-Atlantic states!"

Does the National Weather Service have so little to do, or have they just decided that naming every freaking storm that crops up will make them seem more important? I can see the point of naming hurricanes and tropical storms, as they're large, long lasting dangerous weather systems that impact large populations. There is absolutely no sense in naming winter storms. I believe this is nothing more than an attempt at scaring the public and trying to make themselves seem more relevant than they are anymore. Get real folks, a few inches of snow and a little ice is nothing new or even noteworthy, it's called winter for a reason!

Cosmic Coincidence?

NASA is saying that without a doubt, the meteorite that hit the city of Chelyabinsk had nothing to do with the asteroid 2012 DA14, and that it was just a, "cosmic coincidence" that their arrivals were so close together. I'm sorry, but I find that a little hard to swallow. After all, it's the same scientists who are claiming that an asteroid the size of 2012 DA14 only comes along about once every 1200 years. Even meteorites the size of a double-decker bus are said to be very uncommon. So what are the chances that both these space bodies happened to grace us with their presence within twelve hours or so of each other?

Here's my guess, and let me stress, these are just my "opinion", and not facts in any way. I believe that the meteorite that hit Chelyabinsk was either a piece of 2012 DA14, or at the very least was a piece of debris that's been flying along beside it. Because of it's nearness to the larger mass of the asteroid, scientists missed seeing it. I think this is highly plausible, and let's face it, no one wants to admit that they screwed up and missed seeing something the size of a bus that ends up hitting the earth!

My second theory is going waaaay out on a limb, but why the heck not?! What if 2012 DA14 was actually on a trajectory to hit the earth? I mean look at how much damage that "meteorite" did over the Ural mountains. It only weighed an estimated 10 tons. 2012 DA14 weighs in at a hefty 130,000 tons! The government most likely wouldn't have told us if it had been, for fear of widespread panic. Just a couple of days ago, the United States launched a "satellite" into orbit. What if there had been no satellite and in actuality we'd launched a missile at 2012 DA14 in attempt to make it veer away from the Earth? After the ensuing explosion, a piece of it ends up entering the atmosphere and causing havoc over the Urals. Yeah, it sounds like something right out of a SyFy channel movie, but the fact is we may never know even if that were the truth since the government wouldn't want to take credit for averting a major disaster since there was still collateral damage.
