Washington police are operating under orders to arrest tourists and other non-residents traveling with spent bullet or shotgun casings, a crime that carries a $1,000 fine, a year in jail and a criminal record, according to a new book about the city’s confusing gun laws.
“Empty shell casings are considered ammunition in Washington, D.C., so they are illegal to possess unless you are a resident and have a gun registration certificate,” pens Emily Miller in her investigative book, “Emily Gets Her Gun: … But Obama Wants to Take Yours.” Continue reading “Warning: D.C. cops under orders to arrest tourists with empty bullet casings”

TRIPOLI, Libya — Libya’s prime minister heard increasing calls for his ouster on Saturday as strikes by government employees at oil export terminals cost the North African country more than $5 billion.
Bilqasim Shindeer el-Shibany, a board member of Libya’s National Oil Corp., said oil exports almost entirely have stopped. Late last month, officials said exports were about 300,000 barrels per day, down dramatically from pre-war levels in early 2011. Continue reading “Libyan leader under pressure to step down”

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun an initiative to discover the viability of sequencing American infant’s DNA through the “heel stick” blood drawn screening conducted on newborns in hospitals to determine the propensity toward life-threatening diseases.
This scheme will cost $25 million over 5 years to understand each individual genetic code in lieu of having DNA routinely mapped and stored in a medical record. Continue reading “Gov Wants to Sequence DNA of All Infants Born in US”
Even as Congress considers President Obama’s push for military strikes on Syria, the details of that plan continue to change by the day — with one source telling Fox News that military officials have been asked to revise their plans 50 times since the Pentagon first began considering a “limited” action.
Still to be resolved is what method of attack the U.S. would use. While missile-equipped ships are at the ready in the Mediterranean Sea, a senior defense official told Fox News that the possibility of launching military aircraft strikes was one of the range of options presented to Obama. Continue reading “US military has revised Syria strike plan 50 times, source says”

Amid the explosions, smoke, roaring vehicles and chattering gunfire of a terrorist attack Thursday afternoon at Port Everglades, one fact became chillingly clear:
These weren’t foreign-born America-hating terrorists. These were native-born America-hating terrorists. And they were making things difficult for the good guys. Continue reading “Florida Police State Exercise: ‘Sovereign citizens’ assault Port Everglades”

A number of Sen. John McCain’s constituents are not happy with the Arizona Republican’s support of President Barack Obama’s plan to take military action against Syria. Voters made that much perfectly clear when they confronted him at a town hall in Phoenix on Thursday.
“We didn’t send you to make war for us. We sent you to stop the war,” one man said to applause, CNN reports. Continue reading “Voters Explode on John McCain at Phoenix Town Hall: ‘We Didn’t Send You to Make War for Us’”
The US military has killed, maimed and made homeless well over 20,000,000 people since the Vietnam War.
Very few countries have violated as many humanitarian laws and codes of war on such a large scale, and for such an extended period. The vast political leverage of the United States, the rising indifference of media coverage, and the alleged need of secrecy for matters of national security have largely enabled one of the bloodiest 50 years in human history.

Investigators believe a hunter sparked the monster wildfire which spread into America’s world-renowned Yosemite National Park and became California’s fourth biggest blaze ever, officials said Thursday.
They dismissed earlier reports that the so-called Rim Fire, which is now 80 percent contained, was caused by activity on an illegal marijuana farm near the US landmark park. Continue reading “Hunter sparked massive Yosemite fire: investigators”
I have not heard one threat from President Assad of Syria. Still after the Syrian President has started to reform his government and take nation in a new direction more in line with western values. How do we thank Assad? Well we thank him the same way we thanked Gaddafi for his reforms. We send in radical Muslim fighters to destabilize the republic toppling the government putting in the nastiest people making living in Libya and recently Egypt a living hell. Syria , Egypt and Libya have not threatened or attacked us. They are no national security threat to us. They were only a threat to the bankers because they hate competition when there is a competing currency challenging their fiat money.

A massive US and allied naval deployment is occurring in the Eastern Mediterranean off Syria’s coastline as well as in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
While this display of military might may not be part of an immediate attack plan on Syria, it is creating an atmosphere of fear and panic within Syria.
The US Navy has deployed the USS San Antonio, an amphibious transport ship to the Eastern Mediterranean. The San Antonio is joining five US destroyers which “are already in place for possible missile strikes on Syria, a defense official said Sunday.” Continue reading “US and allied warships off the Syrian coastline: Naval deployment was decided “before” the August 21 chemical weapons attack”
