The attorney for nine of the Twin Peaks bikers told Breitbart Texas that he was in effect told “You Sir, are poured the f*** out.” A hearing was held this week on motions to remove three McLennan County judges who set and retained $1 million bonds on bikers arrested at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas. The attorney argued that the judges demonstrated bias and should be recused from making future rulings.   Continue reading “Waco Bikers’ Attorney Essentially ‘Poured The F*** Out’ In Hearing To Remove Biased Judges”

Bees rely on their tiny brains to navigate to flowers to collect pollen and nectar to eat.   Continue reading “Bees suffer dementia due to metal pollution: Aluminium contamination may be behind insect decline”

At an 18th-century mansion in England’s countryside last week, current and former spy chiefs from seven countries faced off with representatives from tech giants Apple and Google to discuss government surveillance in the aftermath of Edward Snowden’s leaks.

The three-day conference, which took place behind closed doors and under strict rules about confidentiality, was aimed at debating the line between privacy and security.   Continue reading “Apple and Google Just Attended a Confidential Spy Summit in a Remote English Mansion”

Rick Perry isn’t just a longshot running for president four years after a disastrous 2012 bid. He’s also running for president with the dubious — and rare — distinction of being under indictment.

The former Texas governor, who announced his candidacy for president Thursday, is facing two felony charges that he abused his power to cut off funding for the state’s ethics agency and tried to coerce a public servant.   Continue reading “The indictment hanging over Rick Perry’s 2016 presidential bid, explained”

Gun-control advocates on Wednesday decried as a misguided political maneuver a vote by Oregon county commissioners against enforcement of new statewide gun background check requirements.

Lane County’s commissioners in a 4-1 vote on Tuesday decreed that local government could not afford to investigate violations of the new law, and affirmed the “right of the people to keep and bear arms” under the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment.

Proponents of the stricter gun-sale rules, which go into effect in August, questioned whether the Lane County resolution would have any practical effect.   Continue reading “Oregon county votes against enforcing state gun law sparks outcry”

The Last Bastille – by Kyle Rearden

Imprisonment, like war, is hell. Understanding the nature of it is vital to empathizing with the grievances of those prisoners who are suffering because the government arbitrarily decided to tax, ban, or regulate something produced by the free market. First hand accounts of prison experiences, even if offered by a convicted felon, are incredibly valuable to those without any criminal record, due to the likely probability that such eyewitness testimony foreshadows the tribulations any man faces, especially considering that the sphere of legally permitted human action is noticeably shrinking as the police state coerces larger segments of the American citizenry.   Continue reading “Caged Arbitrarily: KC Massey on Government Dungeons”

Despite the barrage of catastrophic financial data throughout the Western world, there may be a glimmer of hope coming from the tiny Nordic island of Iceland.

It must not be forgotten that it was Iceland which was one of the first to feel the fallout of the financial crisis of 2007-08. Unlike most of the other nations, however, Iceland showed tremendous backbone and did not allow, for the most part, any of the NWO monetary agencies to intervene in its affairs. So, any Icelandic currency reform considerations must be taken seriously.   Continue reading “Monetary Reform in Iceland: Maybe There is Still Hope?”

The Obama administration issued controversial new rules Wednesday aimed at protecting the nation’s drinking water but decried by congressional critics as a regulatory “power grab.”

The Environmental Protection Agency, in announcing the finalized Clean Water Rule along with the Army Corps of Engineers, said the changes mark a “historic step for the protection of clean water” and would help roughly 117 million Americans who get drinking water from streams not clearly protected before these regulations. The rule would clarify which smaller streams, tributaries and wetlands are covered by anti-pollution and development provisions of the Clean Water Act.   Continue reading “EPA unveils comprehensive water regs, critics decry ‘power grab’”
