North Korea and Their Possible Plans.
The United States is known for blocking ship ports and surrounding sea boarders of countries when they think that country is a threat.

Anonymous Gives In…Sort of
It has come to our attention (at least most of us) that the westboro baptist church (I don’t capitalize because the public education system taught me “Capitalize if it’s an important name” and WBC is indeed not important) has wanted more attention with their hateful mindset. They’ve decided to make the announcement that they will [...]

Our words have been silenced long enough, and we must take our words to the public ourselves. We cannot rely on this to “catch on” and wait for it to be on television…it will not happen. The news has been censoring what they say for years, and this is just one small example of it. [...]
