Dumb Ass News Mash Up

I couldn’t decide. So much crap, so little time….I decided to do a little mashing. Have at it. Don’t gulp all this stupidity down at once, it could hurt your head. When the meter goes into the red, back off and take a break.

Freaks and Liars: The Life and Times of the Criminally Insane

US: House renews nation’s intelligence programs but not until a provision is removed that would punish CIA interrogators who “cross the line” while questioning suspected terrorists. The CIA keeps its license to kill and torture. foxnews.com-house-tries-pass-intel-controversy-cia-punishment/

UN: International Monetary Fund presses for authority to become the Federal Reserve of the world. The plan is to tie all the world’s fiat currencies together so that, when one country gets deeper in debt than the others, the IMF can rush money from frugal countries to the reckless ones.
