Exciting News About Our Growth

We at the TORARADICAL Communications Network want to share some exciting news with you.

April saw us end our second straight month with at least one hundred articles. Our ninth writer joined us, and we have nearly 350 articles so far this year, and over 400 total.

We have decided that we have reached the maximum of what Blogger can do for us, and will be moving to a WordPress format. Hopefully the move will be really smooth.

At, or around the same time as the move, the site will get a new look. One which will make us look like the up and coming leader in news that we are. Towards which we are in the process of hiring a web designer.

Once the new site is designed, we will be seeking sponsors who will pay to advertise on our site. We also are planning a gift shop.

We now have our own youtube channel. For now, it will mostly be for site updates, such as this, but we hope to begin hosting news stories on there as well. We are in the process of interviewing to fill our video production needs. A radio show is also in the works.

As of today are now paying our writers. This is a move which we are really proud to make as it shows how important we consider our writers. It also puts us ahead of most small sites, and even some large ones.

Thank you for your continued reading of our articles. You the reader are helping us grow.

Counter Coup Being Attempted in Mali

Junta leader Amadou Sanogo

Forces of the Red Berets in Mali's capital have launched a counter coup against the Junta forces which took over the country in March.

Attempts were made to seize the airport, a key bridge, and the broadcasting station for national TV and radio.

The attempts on the station and appear to have been successful, and at last word they were headed for the airport.

A Junta spokesman accused foreign troops of aiding the Red Berets.

Occupy Denver Using Civic Center Park Again

Occupy Denver, in conjunction with the other Occupy groups has announced tomorrow to be a day for a "general strike".

They plan to rally at Civic Center Park around noon, and then march through downtown from 12:30 to 1:30.

At that point they plan to return to the park and per a spokesperson, " occupy until dusk with teach ins, music, trading stations, food, and activities for all".

May Day, as May 1 is sometimes known, is celebrated as International Worker's Day in over eighty countries. For years it has been used to celebrate the labor movement, and Occupy is not going to ditch that trend.

Preview: The Dark Knight Rises

On July 20, the muchly anticipated third part of the Batman trilogy comes out, in The Dark Knight Rises.

The third movie is set eight years after the end of the second. Batman (reprised by Christian Bale) is still a wanted fugitive, but he must return after the terrorist leader Bane (Tom Hardy) takes over the city.

Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine all return in their respective roles. Anne Hathaway makes her entrance as Catwoman, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays John Blake.

To most of us Catwoman is a familiar character. But if you didn't follow the comics, you might not know Bane at all.

The movie does look it will be just as good as the previous two, and it will be interesting to see how they use it to end the series.

War Games for Olympic Security

Between May 2 and 10, Exercise Olympic Garden will be taking place in, around, and over London. During the exercise the Royal Navy, Air Force, and Army will practice various scenarios in which the games could be threatened.

Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said, "Support for the Olympic Games will be an important task for defense in 2012 and this exercise is about pushing our people and our systems to the limit to ensure that we are ready for the challenge. The majority of this exercise will be played out in full view of the public and I hope that it will have a secondary effect of reassuring the British people that everything possible is being done to ensure this will be a safe and secure Olympic and Paralympic Games."

A total of 23,700 security personnel will be used during the Games. That number will include 13,500 military as well as police, private security guards, and some volunteers.

Some controversy has arisen over the possibility of surface to air missiles being deployed, in the area, for added protection during the games. Concerns mostly are over debris falling from them if they are used.

Microsoft Invests in Nook

Microsoft has invested $300 million in Barnes & Nobles' Nook.

Immediately after the deal was announced, stocks for both companies rose.

Microsoft benefits from the deal, by getting a foot in the e-book market; while Barnes & Nobles gets additional funding and backing.

Barnes & Noble has been discussing splitting their digital business into a separate company. If they did so, Microsoft would have a 17.6% hold in the company.

Liberty Media already has an investment in the Nook, that would give it a 16.6% stake if a new company is formed.

Remembering: The Louisiana Purchase

On April 30, 1803 the United States makes the Louisiana Purchase from France. The sale more than doubled the size of the US.

In 1801, Spain had signed a secret treaty, with France, to give back the territory known as Louisiana. Reports of the treaty reached America, causing much unease amongst the Americans who had been settling further and further west, as much of their supplies came up the Mississippi River, through New Orleans.

American leaders were so worried about the situation, that they began considering an alliance with England. At the same time as that was being discussed, a special envoy was sent to France, to negotiate for the purchase of New Orleans.

On April 11, 1803 the French surprised the Americans by asking straight out, what the US would pay for all of Louisiana. Negotiations were quick, and the US bought the whole 828,000 square miles of Louisiana for $15 million. That price amounted to less than three cents an acre.

Thirteen new states would eventually come out of the area.

A Lesson of Free Chris Loesch

Tonight we saw a small bit of the power that unified Conservatives have. We rallied together towards a common cause. That of defending one of our own. When Chris was suspended, for defending his wife, did we sit back and go 'O, that's a shame'. Like hell we did! We gathered the troops tweeting "#FreeChrisLoesch", "NoSeriouslyFreeChrisLoesch", "FreeChrisLoeschNow".

In answer to an organized attack on one of our own, we brought the war to them. And guess what happened, the liberals lost. That is what happens when all of the conservatives in the US unite, we win. And not only do we win, this country wins, for liberalism is the anti-freedom, and this country is based on freedom.

Many of us, very much including myself, have been disenchanted as we see that it does not appear there will be an actual conservative taking the nomination for President. More and more I heard that, "all was lost", "we need to split the vote", or some such things. And they weren't just coming from other people, I know I heard them in my own thoughts as well.

I am not in the least a fan of Mitt Romney. He is not a conservative. I've attacked him from time to time. But I have to hope he'll be better than Obama. Cause that looks to really be the choice we face. Voting for Obama, not voting at all (which is a vote for Obama), splitting the vote (which is a vote for Obama), or voting for Romney. So if it comes down to it, I will vote for Romney, for we must hang together or hang separately.

However, time is not up yet. There are some primaries left. And most importantly, there is the convention yet to be held. Until the convention is held, nothing is set in stone. Tonight showed us how powerful we can be when we unite.

Now imagine this. What if every conservative in America, not just the ones on Twitter, could rally behind an actual conservative candidate. If that happened, a conservative would not only take the Republican nomination, but from there take the Presidency as well.

But the real difficulty is finding one conservative in whom all conservatives could rally. I do not have an answer for you there. Many of the candidates who've already given up, were more conservative than Romney. Could one of them be brought back? Yes, if the conservative nation put down it's differences and asked them to. Or is there another, one who didn't run who they could unite behind? Again, I don't know that. I do know that it is necessary, and that it is possible.

United, conservatives will win everything. Conservatives are the silent (thought not as silent as liberals would wish) majority. Rally the troops, stop being so silent. Get together and unite behind a single actual conservative. If we don't, the peaceful future looks bleak.

Free Chris Loesch Takes Over Twitter

Twitter went ablaze Sunday night as Chris Loesch found himself suspended. He was suspended after defending his wife, Dana Loesch, who was receiving death and rape threats from a group of liberals.

Apparently, the same liberal group, that had been threatening Dana, got together and reported Chris for spam until Twitter automatically suspended the account.

Conservatives rallied around the hashtag #FreeChrisLoesch and others, managing to trend world wide. After about an hour Twitter reinstated him.

Calls for the Twitter algorithms to be changed have started up as well. Most suggesting that they simply be changed to not allow users to mark someone as spam, without stating why.



Update: Chris's account has been suspended again. Conservatives can now be seen rallying to #FreeChrisLoeschAgain. Calls of "All night long if necessary" have been seen.

Liberal elements on Twitter used the same method as they did the first time. And they are continuing to brag about doing so.

Information on other conservatives who've had or are having the same problem is coming to light.

The Twitter executives will have a headache when they wake up in the morning.



2nd Update: About 11am MDT Twitter finally, and supposedly permanently, reinstated Chris's account.

They also stated that they did the same for the other uses who were victims of the same behavior.
