SOMETHING HUGE JUST HAPPENED AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS IGNORING IT

From TRN News:

The most important political development in 200 years was triggered last week, when the state legislature of Michigan became the 34 th state to demand a “Constitutional Convention” in the United States. Under Article 5 of the US Constitution, if 2/3rds of the states call for such a convention, (meaning 34 states) it MUST take place. During such a convention, the ENTIRE Constitution can be changed; nothing is off-limits. This would even allow the States to dismantle the federal government without its consent, and repudiate the debt which that government has incurred! When it voted for the convention last week, Michigan became the 34 th state, thus meeting the requirement.

A goal has been reached behind what would be an unprecedented effort to amend the U.S. Constitution, through a little-known provision that gives states rather than Congress the power to initiate changes. This is the most significant political development in the entire world in the last 200 years.

Apart le ton alarmiste je trouve l’info intéressante. A suivre.

Une info exceptionnelle qui va ravir le MAF à Tokyo. J’attends de voir les réactions.

NEW YORK – Two New York state lawmakers said Monday that they have introduced legislation to require all new public school textbooks used in the state to refer to the waters between Japan and South Korea as the East Sea as well as the Sea of Japan.

The East Sea is South Korea’s preferred name. Korean Americans in the state have been pressing for textbooks to use both names for the body of water.

The bill was introduced to both houses of the state legislature after Virginia state lawmakers passed similar legislation last Thursday.

A controversial abortion bill was defeated after a day of political drama in Texas that began with a marathon filibuster speech and ended with a raucous public protest that derailed a vote in the state legislature.

A live video stream and a social media swirl drew attention from around the world to the remarkable scenes in Austin, Texas, where Democrats led by senator Wendy Davis staged a procedural filibuster to block a bill that would have severely restricted abortion in the state.
