WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court struck down limits Wednesday in federal law on the overall campaign contributions the biggest individual donors may make to candidates, political parties and political action committees.

The justices said in a 5-4 vote that Americans have a right to give the legal maximum to candidates for Congress and president, as well as to parties and PACs, without worrying that they will violate the law when they bump up against a limit on all contributions, set at $123,200 for 2013 and 2014. That includes a separate $48,600 cap on contributions to candidates.   Continue reading “High court voids overall contribution limits”

While you were focused on the missing Airliner, there was a little case being heard in front of the Supreme Court called U.S. v. Castleman.  The case was a landmark win for the gun control left wing, but what no one realized, is that our Constitution no longer affords us “rights.”

No longer rights that are inviolate   Continue reading “The Bill of Rights has been Revoked!”

After intensive consultation with his advisors, President Obama has decided to modify the formula used for calculating the Dow Jones Index. On January 1, 2015 the Dow Divisor will be changed to 30. The result of this change will be that the Dow Jones Index drops from the current 16532 points to about 85.8 points. The underlying value of the 30 component stocks of course remains unchanged. With this modification to the formula Obama aims to make the large Dow fluctuations of recent decennia a thing of the past, and hopes that this will bring stability to the stock market. Banks, major investors and pension funds welcome this change in the Dow Jones Index formula.   Continue reading “A Hoax or Not A Hoax, that’s the question”

Russia’s foreign ministry has threatened to impede the operations of American diplomatic missions in the country, after U.S. bank JPMorgan Chase on Tuesday blocked a remittance from the Russian embassy in Kazakhstan to an insurance agency.

The Russian embassy had been due to transfer less than $5,000 to the Sogaz Insurance Group for regular services rendered, according to the Financial Times, but JPMorgan halted the transaction as Sogaz was part-owned by Bank Rossiya, one of the targets of US sanctions announced on March 20.   Continue reading “Russia Threatens Retaliation After JPMorgan Blocks Embassy Money Transfer”

LEAWOOD, KS — An innocent family was terrorized by a paramilitary SWAT raid on their home that lasted 2.5 hours; yielding nothing.  It took the family 2 years and $25,000 to discover the real reason their house was targeted: discarded tea leaves in their garbage and the purchase of indoor gardening equipment.

‘You’re in the wrong house!’  

Robert and Adlynn Harte discovered how easily an innocent family can become the targets of state-sanctioned violence when a SWAT team showed up at their home looking for contraband.  The terrifying experience took place at 7:30 a.m. on April 20, 2012.   Continue reading “Family raided by SWAT because cops found discarded tea leaves in trash”

The Obama administration has conducted warrantless searches of Americans’ communications as part of the National Security Agency’s surveillance operations that target foreigners located outside of the U.S., the administration’s top intelligence official confirmed in a letter to Congress disclosed Tuesday.

These searches were authorized by a secret surveillance court in 2011, but it was unclear until Tuesday whether any such searches on Americans had been conducted.   Continue reading “US Confirms Warrantless Searches of Americans”

Palladium Maple LeafLiberty Gold and Silver

For the last few weeks, one of the lead stories in precious metals news has been the various lawsuits and international criminal investigations of the world banking cartel’s alleged gold market price fixing. However, several key stories regarding another important precious metal, namely palladium, have largely been pushed off the PM news radar.

“A picture is worth a thousand words.” This is certainly true in the case of palladium. Please see below the last two months palladium chart.   Continue reading “Geopolitical and Labor Crisis Set to Push Palladium Higher”

Three ATF officials let a key figure in the flubbed Fast & Furious gun-running operation collect his government paycheck while on leave and working for financial giant JP Morgan, a Justice Department report has found.

The Washington Times reported Monday that the department’s inspector general’s findings, released last week, determined that former ATF official William McMahon’s bosses “exercised poor judgment” in approving his paid leave while he worked elsewhere, and created potential conflicts of interest.    Continue reading “Justice Dept: ATF Paid Agent on Leave While He Worked Elsewhere”

Creativity and Non-Conformity Now listed as a Mental Illness by PsychiatristsReady Chimp – by Code Breaker

What happens to a society when thinking outside of the box or being righteously enraged about your government going in the wrong direction becomes an excuse to be sedated and re-educated? It seems we don’t have to go too far back in history to find out.

The Soviet Union used new mental illness for political repression. People who didn’t accept the beliefs of the Communist Party developed a new type of schizophrenia. They suffered from the delusion of believing communism was wrong. They were isolated, forcefully medicated, and put through repressive “therapy” to bring them back to sanity.   Continue reading “Creativity and Non-Conformity Now listed as a Mental Illness by Psychiatrists”

With two major law enforcement agencies under criticism for their uses of force – including the Albuquerque Police Department under DOJ investigation – the state board responsible for police training has hired a new “paramilitary” director who dumped responsible use of force training in favor of more “shoot first” scenarios.

A New Mexico State Police officer made national news in October when he opened fire on a van full of children after the mother drove away from a rural traffic stop.   Continue reading “New militarized police training introduces “shoot first” policy for New Mexico cops”

President Obama’s Department of Homeland Security caught then released 68,000 aliens who had previously been convicted of a crime, a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies shows.

The report, provided to Breitbart News ahead of its late Sunday evening release, reviews internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) metrics to conclude that the Obama administration released 35 percent—or 68,000—convicted criminal aliens back into the U.S. general population when they could have been deported. “The criminal alien releases typically occur without formal notice to local law enforcement agencies and victims,” CIS’s Jessica Vaughan, the report’s author, added.   Continue reading “Report: Obama Admin Released Tens of Thousands of Illegal Immigrant Criminals”

What started as a peaceful protest against the Albuquerque Police Department quickly turned violent by nightfall with officers in riot gear breaking out the tear gas.

At least 500 people gathered on the steps of the Albuquerque Police department on Sunday to condemn the recent police killing of 38-year-old James Boyd. Earlier this week hacktivist group Anonymous posted a video online calling for locals to occupy police headquarters and take a stand against Boyd’s ‘cold blooded’ murder.   Continue reading “Protesters storm Albuquerque police HQ as Anonymous targets department over killing of homeless man by ‘cold blooded’ officers that was caught on video”

Colorado man claims license plate led to pot searchSent to us by a reader who said: 

They are doing this to everyone for either having an out of state plate from a state that has legalized the stuff or if you have Idaho plates and are entering Idaho.

I have heard (I do not have any first hand conformation) that if you refuse to consent to a search they arrest you on the spot and search anyway (without a warrant).   Continue reading “Colorado man claims license plate led to pot search”
