The U.S. government have announced plans to make it illegal for anybody to own a mobile home, or tiny house, without a special license – in a bid to eradicate offgrid living in America. Following on from local governments around the country criminalizing private rainwater collection, the federal government now want home owners to obtain a special license from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) authority to verifiy that their home conforms to the same standards that recreational vehicles (RV’s) are required to have.

In early January, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned that a Dutch advisory referendum, which took place today, on the bloc's association agreement with Ukraine could lead to a "continental crisis" if voters reject the treaty.

Recently, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the following: "One of the key legacy achievements of this presidency will be the important reforms of Wall Street. Those reforms have led to a financial system that is more stable and ensures that taxpayers are not on the hook for bailing out financial institutions that make risky bets."

Evidently the Obama administration has a different definition of “risky bets”, and “taxpayers not on the hook” than most people, because as the Washington Post reports:

Wikileaks claims that Washington is behind the recently released Panama Papers, saying that the attack was ‘produced’ to target President Putin and Russia The whistleblowing organization said on Twitter that the Panama Papers data leak was produced by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), “which targets Russia and the former USSR.” #PanamaPapers Putin attack was produced by OCCRP which targets Russia & former USSR and was funded by USAID & Soros.

The Dutch referendum shows how the internet is taking back power from our Europhile elites

Today's Dutch referendum on the EU's expansionist agreement with Ukraine really is the people's referendum.

GeenPeil, a project stemming from the popular Dutch blog GeenStijl, collected some 420,000 signed, verified, signatures triggering this referendum. It is an extraordinary achievement that highlights how western democracy is evolving.
