The Obama administration has a new partner in crime and it is the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The APA created the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (5th Edition) which was recently adopted. DSM 5 is highly controversial and has sparked outrage from the mental health practitioners. As many of these practitioners point out, the new DSM-V makes a pathology out of simple and normal behaviors such as grieving for the loss of a loved one.
This constitutes a new subjective approach in diagnosing of mental illness in that it promises to end free speech and any form of political dissent. The federal government has already declared anyone who opposes its unconstitutional policies as having “political paranoia,” which is now diagnosed as a type of mental illness.

Mayor de Blasio on Friday joined nearly 30 large-city mayors from around the nation to support President Obama’s executive action on immigration reform.
At the US Conference of Mayors meeting in Washington, DC, the coalition announced a joint court filing to defend the executive action from a legal challenge brought in Texas.
“Delaying implementation of the president’s executive action will further hurt our families, negatively effect our economies, and create unnecessary insecurity in our communities,” said de Blasio. Continue reading “De Blasio rallies behind Obama’s executive action on immigraton”

CINCINNATI (CN) – The 6th Circuit seemed unlikely Wednesday to revive civil-rights claims by members of the Hutaree Militia, a group that thinks President Barack Obama is the antichrist.
The Hutaree members who brought the suit, Michael Meeks and Thomas Piatek, had beat charges that their group, which espouses the creation of a “Colonial Christian Republic,” plotted to kill law enforcement officers in 2012. Continue reading “Militia Unlikely to Secure Appellate Reload”

We have seen the “depopulation agenda” waved away as simply a conspiracy theory time and time again, despite public statements from very high profile personalities and members of the elite, despite a government sourced website (data obtained from govt sources,the site itself isn’t a .gov site) projecting a 78 percent drop in American population by the year 2025, despite all evidence showing the agenda is real…. and now a study shows yet another manner being implemented to obtain that objective.

A sheriff in Fulton County, New York, is taking on that state’s anti-gun establishment by defying an attempt to have legal handgun owners “recertify” their right to bear arms with the state bureaucracy.
New York adopted the sweeping SAFE Act legislation in 2013 with most of the attention focused on a ban on “assault rifles” and high-capacity magazines. But a little-known provision of the bill requires every handgun owner to recertify their permit with the local sheriff or clerk’s office by 2018. The counties are then required to upload the permit information to a statewide digital database that is being created. The process must be repeated every five years. Continue reading “Sheriff’s advice: ‘Toss gun-registration letters in trash’”
The first batch of GlaxoSmithKline’s experimental Ebola vaccine has been shipped to West Africa and is expected to arrive in Liberia later on Friday, the British drugmaker said.
The shipment, of an initial 300 vials of the vaccine, will be the first to arrive in one of the three main Ebola-affected African countries, GSK said in a statement.
It will be used in the first large-scale vaccine trials in coming weeks, in which health-care workers helping to care for Ebola patients will be among the first to get it. Continue reading “Experimental Ebola vaccine arrives in Liberia”

Once upon a time, there was a saying “no taxation without representation.” Well, in America’s transition to an utopia of French or even Venezuelan caliber, for half the population taxation became an anachronism from a bygone era, which in turn meant that representation likewise lost its charm. However, in order to preserve a political system in which the votes of the many are bought with the money of the few or, as the case may be these days, with money printed out of thin air by the Federal Reserve, there was one bureaucratic hurdle: one still needed a US passport in order to vote. However if a newly introduced bill in Washington D.C. passes, one won’t even need to be a citizen in order to vote in local elections.

Republicans have a backup plan for approving the Keystone XL oil pipeline if President Obama vetoes the bill now moving through the Senate, a top House Republican suggested Wednesday.

While jailed San Diego Rap musician, Brandon, “Tiny Doo,” Duncan makes his political statement all the way to trial this Friday, Jan 23, 2015, he jeopardizes his freedom to defend his innocence and his art. He has been in a San Diego jail for almost six months. While it would seem a given that he will be found innocent, the recent history of new US legislation, and the results of jury trials applied to civil rights issues peculiar to law enforcement and African-Americans, make the upcoming trial more of a dice-roll than should be. The result will go far beyond personal freedom for Tiny Doo Duncan. Continue reading “Did Rap Music Pull the Trigger? Part 2”

A new anti-cyberbullying law in Illinois effectively allows schools to force students to hand over their social media passwords if they are suspected to have been the victim of or otherwise involved in cyberbullying. While the law doesn’t explicitly say schools can request passwords, it gives school officials broad scope to act even when alleged bullying occurs using “technology or an electronic device that is not owned, leased, or used by a school district or school.” Continue reading “Illinois schools can demand students’ social media logins”
LINCOLN, Neb. — TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP filed eminent domain papers in nine Nebraska counties Tuesday.
The company is trying to get the remaining 12 percent of easements from landowners required in the state.
This action was required within two years of TransCanada receiving its January 2013 approval in Nebraska. That time period expires on January 22, 2015. An agreement without Eminent Domain can still be reached if TransCanada and land owners can negotiate voluntary easement agreements.
