#WWJVD: The Religion of Tax-Exemptions | Jesse Ventura Off The Grid - Ora TV Message Jesse at ora.tv/offthegrid/askjesse. www.ora.tv SUBSCRIBE to Jesse Ventura's channel: http://bit.ly/1cxRueG Section 501 C of the Internal Revenue Code allows non-profit organizations operating exclusively for religious purposes, to be tax-exempt. However, some churches, like the Church of Scientology, profit billions of dollars. We asked Governor Jesse Ventura what he would do to make sure churches pay taxes. [...]

Did you know that the number of publicly traded companies declaring bankruptcy has reached a five year high?  And did you know that Chinese exports are absolutely collapsing and that Chinese economic growth in 2014 was the weakest in over 20 years?  Even though things may seem to be okay on the surface for the global economy at the moment, that does not mean that big trouble is not percolating just under the surface.  On Wednesday, investors cheered as stocks soared to new highs, but almost a [...]

ISIS camps have now been discovered directly across the U.S. border with Mexico, ISIS operatives have been captured illegally entering the United States, and ISIS is threatening to conduct a massive campaign of terror against U.S. targets, and yet Barack Obama and his underlings continue to insist that “right-wing extremists” are the greatest terror threat that this nation is facing.  One recent survey found that 84 percent of all Americans believe that ISIS is a “direct threa [...]

The very same people that caused the last economic crisis have created a 278 TRILLION dollar derivatives time bomb that could go off at any moment.  When this absolutely colossal bubble does implode, we are going to be faced with the worst economic crash in the history of the United States.  During the last financial crisis, our politicians promised us that they would make sure that “too big to fail” would never be a problem again.  Instead, as you will see below, those banks have [...]

Off The Grid & Politifact: Jeb Bush’s Email Controversy | Jesse Ventura Off The Grid - Ora TV Message Jesse at ora.tv/offthegrid/askjesse. www.ora.tv SUBSCRIBE to Jesse Ventura's channel: http://bit.ly/1cxRueG We know Hillary Clinton’s been in the hot seat over her private emails. Now politicos are slinging mud in Jeb Bush’s direction for the same issue. But is Jeb Bush guilty of hiding his emails from the public? Politifact’s Aaron Sharockman joins Jesse Ventura in this specia [...]

The systematic destruction of the American way of life is happening all around us, and yet most people have no idea what is happening.  Once upon a time in America, if you were responsible and hard working you could get a good paying job that could support a middle class lifestyle for an entire family even if you only had a high school education.  Things weren’t perfect, but generally almost everyone in the entire country was able to take care of themselves without government assistance. [...]

Smart meters are now being used by authorities to crack down on “water wasters” in the state of California, but this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what they can be used for.  Ultimately, smart meters are designed to be part of an entire “smart grid” that will enable government bureaucrats “to control everything from your dishwasher to thermostat“.   And in recent years, there has been a massive push to install smart meters in as many homes in the [...]

Our entire way of life can be ended in a single day.  And it wouldn’t even take a nuclear war to do it.  All it would take for a rogue nation or terror organization to bring us to our knees is the explosion of a couple well-placed nuclear devices high up in our atmosphere.  The resulting electromagnetic pulses would fry electronics from coast to coast.  Of course this could also be accomplished without any attack.  Scientists tell us that massive solar storms have hit our planet befor [...]

Off the Grid: The Bears Who Took on Jeb Bush | Jesse Ventura Off The Grid - Ora TV Message Jesse at ora.tv/offthegrid/askjesse. www.ora.tv SUBSCRIBE to Jesse Ventura's channel: http://bit.ly/1cxRueG These self-proclaimed “bears,” a couple from Oregon, bought the domain www.JebBushForPresident.Com and turned it into a gay rights website. Jesse Ventura goes Off the Grid with real life vigilantes CJ Phillips and Charlie Rainwater! What do you think Jeb Bush will do about these two activists? [...]

The drought in California is getting a lot worse.  As you read this, snowpack levels in the Sierra Nevada mountains are the lowest that have ever been recorded.  That means that there won’t be much water for California farmers and California cities once again this year.  To make up the difference in recent years, water has been pumped out of the ground like crazy.  In fact, California has been losing more than 12 million acre-feet of groundwater a year since 2011, and wells all over th [...]

The higher financial markets rise, the harder they fall.  By any objective measurement, the stock market is currently well into bubble territory.  Anyone should be able to see this – all you have to do is look at the charts.  Sadly, most of us never seem to learn from history.  Most of us want to believe that somehow “things are different this time”.  Well, about the only thing that is different this time is that our economy is in far worse shape than it was just prior to [...]

Off The Grid: PTSD - Bringing War Home | Jesse Ventura Off The Grid - Ora TV Message Jesse at ora.tv/offthegrid/askjesse. www.ora.tv SUBSCRIBE to Jesse Ventura's channel: http://bit.ly/1cxRueG Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affects 1 in 3 returning troops, and yet, only 40% of those will seek help. In this edition of Off The Grid, Jesse Ventura speaks with former marine & war correspondent David J. Morris, author of the new book “The Evil Hours.” The two discuss Morris’ own person [...]

Are we watching a replay of the last financial crisis?  Over the past six months, the price of oil has collapsed, the U.S. dollar has soared, and a whole bunch of other patterns that we witnessed just before the stock market crash of 2008 are repeating once again.  But what we have not seen yet is the actual stock market crash.  So will there be one this year?  In this article, I am going to compare the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average during the first three months of 2008 to [...]

When an economic crisis is coming, there are usually certain indicators that appear in advance.  For example, commodity prices usually start to plunge before a recession begins.  And as you can see from the Bloomberg Commodity Index which you can find right here, this has already been happening.  In addition, I have previously written about how the U.S. dollar went on a great run just before the financial collapse of 2008.  This is something that has also been happening over the past few mon [...]

Saudi Arabia and Egypt stand poised to conduct a massive ground invasion of Yemen, and the western media will be full of tales about how “Operation Decisive Storm” is liberating that country from the evil Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.  And without a doubt, the Houthis are bad guys and so are their Iranian benefactors.  But don’t be fooled into thinking that the war in Yemen is a battle of good vs. evil.  The truth is that the conflict in Yemen is actually a proxy war between [...]

Since the depths of the last recession, the price of ground beef in the United States has doubled.  Has your paycheck doubled since then?  Even though the Federal Reserve insists that we are in a “low inflation” environment, the government’s own numbers show that the price of ground beef has been on an unprecedented run over the past six years.  In early 2009, the average price of a pound of ground beef was hovering near 2 dollars.  In February, it hit a brand new all-time [...]

Jesse Ventura: WTF Monsanto? | Jesse Ventura Off The Grid - Ora TV Message Jesse at ora.tv/offthegrid/askjesse. www.ora.tv SUBSCRIBE to Jesse Ventura's channel: http://bit.ly/1cxRueG Jesse Ventura shares an MIT study that states half of all children will be autistic by 2025. The alleged culprit? An herbicide used by agrochemical giant, Monsanto, called Roundup. What do you guys think? Are chemicals like glyphosate and genetically modified crops really responsible for rising rates of neurologi [...]

Did you know that about one-fourth of the entire global prison population is in the United States?  Did you know that Apple has more money than the U.S. Treasury?  Did you know that if you have no debt and also have 10 dollars in your wallet that you are wealthier than 25 percent of all Americans?  Did you know that by the time an American child reaches the age of 18, that child will have seen approximately 40,000 murders on television?  There are some things that are great about the United [...]

The move to a cashless society won’t happen overnight.  Instead, it is being implemented very slowly and systematically in a series of incremental steps.  All over the planet, governments are starting to place restrictions on the use of cash for security reasons.  As citizens, we are being told that this is being done to thwart criminals, terrorists, drug runners, money launderers and tax evaders.  Other forms of payment are much easier for governments to track, and so they very much p [...]

#WWJVD: Is Racism Killing the American Dream? | Jesse Ventura Off The Grid - Ora TV Fraternity students at the University of Oklahoma were caught singing racial slurs on the bus while Ferguson police were discriminating against African Americans in their community. We asked Governor Jesse Ventura what he would do about Ferguson if he were in charge. Tune in to see him talk about the racially charged climate in America and how systemic racism is killing the American dream. What are you going to [...]

If you believe that ignorance is bliss, you might not want to read this article.  I am going to dispel the notion that there has been any sort of “economic recovery”, and I am going to show that we are much worse off than we were just prior to the last economic crisis.  If you go back to 2007, people were feeling really good about things.  Houses were being flipped like crazy, the stock market was booming and unemployment was relatively low.  But then the financial crisis of 2008 [...]

As Americans, we tend to be pretty full of ourselves, and this is especially true of our young people.  But do we really have reason for such pride?  According to a shocking new report from the Educational Testing Service, Americans between the ages of 20 and 34 are way behind young adults in other industrialized nations when it comes to literacy, mathematics and technological proficiency.  Even though more Americans than ever are going to college, we continue to fall farther and farther behi [...]

Once upon a time, much of the state of California was a barren desert.  And now, thanks to the worst drought in modern American history, much of the state is turning back into one.  Scientists tell us that the 20th century was the wettest century that the state of California had seen in 1000 years.  But now weather patterns are reverting back to historical norms, and California is rapidly running out of water.  It is being reported that the state only has approximately a one year supply of w [...]

Can you imagine going to work each day knowing that there are lots of people out there that would love to see you dead?  Despite what a lot of Americans may think, it takes real courage to be a police officer in this country today.  Every time you put on that uniform and walk out the front door, it might be the very last time that you ever see your spouse and family.  Yes, there is a whole lot of needless police brutality in the United States in 2015, and I am going to address that later in t [...]

Just a few days ago, the bull market for the S&P 500 turned six years old.  This six year period of time has been great for investors, but what comes next?  On March 9th, 2009 the S&P 500 hit a low of 676.53.  Since that day, it has risen more than 200 percent.  As you will see below, there are only two other times within the last 100 years when the S&P 500 performed this well over a six year time frame.  In both instances, the end result was utter disaster. And as you take in t [...]

Are we on the verge of an unprecedented global currency crisis?  On Tuesday, the euro briefly fell below $1.07 for the first time in almost a dozen years.  And the U.S. dollar continues to surge against almost every other major global currency.  The U.S. dollar index has now risen an astounding 23 percent in just the last eight months.  That is the fastest pace that the U.S. dollar has risen since 1981.  You might be tempted to think that a stronger U.S. dollar is good news, but it isn̵ [...]

After Ferguson: The Truth Behind “Justifiable Homicides” | Jesse Ventura Off The Grid - Ora TV There were 461 reported cases of “justifiable homicides” last year at the hands of law enforcement. But what constitutes as “justifiable”? And how many deaths at the hands of a cop go unreported? Following the Justice Department’s recent ruling on Ferguson, Jesse Ventura demands that everyone be held accountable for killing someone -- whether they’re a cop or not. Agree or disagree [...]
