ARNOLDS PARK, Iowa — For almost 40 years, Carole Hinders has dished out Mexican specialties at her modest cash-only restaurant. For just as long, she deposited the earnings at a small bank branch a block away — until last year, when two tax agents knocked on her door and informed her that they had seized her checking account, almost $33,000.

The Internal Revenue Service agents did not accuse Ms. Hinders of money laundering or cheating on her taxes — in fact, she has not been charged with any crime. Instead, the money was seized solely because she had deposited less than $10,000 at a time, which they viewed as an attempt to avoid triggering a required government report.   Continue reading “Law Lets I.R.S. Seize Accounts on Suspicion, No Crime Required”

CHARLESTOWN, IN — A town is working to “demolish a working-class neighborhood” by seizing 354 homes and passing the land off to a private commercial developer. Using federal dollars and the highly-abused power of eminent domain, the city intends to evict multitudes of families to make way for economic progress.

The community under fire is called “Pleasant Ridge.” It contains hundreds of small homes that were built during World War II as military housing. Today the homes are privately-owned and contain working-class and poor families, many of which have owned their homes for decades.   Continue reading “Indiana town moves to seize over 350 homes to make room for private developer”

 (Left: Karl Marx knew he was doomed: ‘Thus heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it full well.  My soul, once true to God, is chosen for hell.’

This profound sadness is now proliferating in the destruction of the lives of millions of people as ‘progress’.)

Moses Mordecai Marx Levi (‘Karl Marx’) was a ghostwriter for Rothschild.

Marxism is the controlled opposition against Capitalism, creating what would become the classical dialectic Capitalism vs. Marxism, that the elites use to get to World Governance through managed conflict.   Continue reading “Cultural Marxism: Managing The Ant Farm”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A man suspected of killing two deputies during a shooting rampage in Northern California was deported twice to Mexico and had a drug conviction, federal authorities said Saturday.

The suspected shooter told Sacramento County Sheriff’s investigators that he was 34-year-old Marcelo Marquez of Salt Lake City. However, his fingerprints match the biometric records of a Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte in a federal database, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice said.   Continue reading “Suspect in killing of deputies was twice deported”

I want to give a hat tip to a recent Wall Street Journal article that brought to my attention two damning admissions by JPMorgan’s (JPM) CEO and Chairman of the Board, Jamie Dimon.  The irony is that Dimon was lulled into making these admissions because he was basking in the perfect calm created by the confluence of Sorkin’s and CNBC’s storied sycophancy at the one place on earth where elite bankers feel most loved, honored, and protected – the annual meeting of the ultra-wealthy in Davos, Switzerland.  Sorkin was the only interviewer, so Dimon faced no risk of tough questions.  It may well have been this perfect setting that caused Dimon to let slip the mask and reveal two illustrative sins of elite bankers reported in the WSJ article.   Continue reading “Jamie Dimon: U.S. Must Create a “Safe Harbor” Where JPM’s Corruption Is Not “Punished””

WASHINGTON — A shooting at a suburban Washington state high school on Friday is likely to intensify an already heated debate over two competing state ballot measures related to gun background checks, both of which will go before voters on Nov. 4.

Information on the shooting was still emerging Friday afternoon, but multiple reports describe a lone gunman opening fire on the school cafeteria at Marysville Pilchuck High School, in Marysville, Washington. At least four students were injured and one was killed, not including the shooter. Several media outlets have reported that the gunman, who has not yet been publicly identified by authorities, was dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene. It is unclear how he acquired the weapon.   Continue reading “Washington Voters Will Weigh Competing Gun Control Measures On Heels Of School Shooting”

Stephen Harper spent about 15 minutes hidden in a Parliament Hill closet after a gunman stormed Centre Block where he and the rest of the Conservative caucus were guarded by MPs who’d fashioned sharp spears from flagpoles, sources say.

After they heard gunfire outside their meeting room door Wednesday, members of Parliament snapped close to 15 flagpoles to make weapons.   Continue reading “Ottawa attack: MPs fashioned spears while Harper whisked into closet”

The voter rolls kept by the State Board of Elections contain 145 names that belong to a certain category of ineligible voter – immigrants in the U.S. under a federal program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, according to elections officials.

Josh Lawson, an SBOE spokesman, said that election officials found out about the number Tuesday night, after the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles ran a specific search for drivers with DACA licenses.   Continue reading “DMV search of records turns up ineligible N.C. voters”

American paychecks shrank last year, just-released data show, further eroding the public’s purchasing power, which is so vital to economic growth.

Average pay for 2013 was $43,041 — down $79 from the previous year when measured in 2013 dollars. Worse, average pay fell $508 below the 2007 level, my analysis of the new Social Security Administration data shows.   Continue reading “Compensation shrinks for all income groups – except the very highest”

In America today ‘Freedom of Religion’ is superseded by ‘Freedom of Non-Religion.

The U.S. Supreme Court seems to think that ‘Separation of Church and State’ means morals and ethics might be allowed in a Church, but shouldn’t be part of State.

The Court, under The Doctrine of Change, is changing the complete moral order. The Court consistently rules against Religionists and in favor of Secular &monists. Federal Court rulings against Nativity Scenes, Prayer and City Seals with any religious symbolism clearly demonstrate the point.   Continue reading “The De-Christianization of America – It’s Working”

OTTAWA—Canada’s federal government said it would introduce legislation as soon as Thursday giving the country’s police and intelligence services greater powers to counter potential terrorist threats.

The planned move took on special significance as lawmakers and public servants here tried to resume their daily routine a day after Ottawa was rocked by a shooting that left a soldier and the suspected shooter dead, forcing a lockdown of the capital for hours.   Continue reading “Canada Lawmakers to Introduce Terrorist Legislation Following Fatal Shooting and Lockdown”

Some of President Obama’s most ardent supporters have accused Republicans of “politicizing” the Ebola crisis. It’s not a terribly serious accusation; a public health emergency requires the response of many government agencies, so how could politics not be involved? There’s nothing wrong with that.

One specific charge, though, deserves an answer. The Ebola scare has made many Americans aware that there is no U.S. surgeon general. (The post is filled by an acting official who is not in line for the job.)   Continue reading “Why is there no surgeon general? Ask Democrats”
