Sheriffs are campaigning to pressure Google Inc. to turn off a feature on its Waze traffic software that warns drivers when police are nearby. They say one of the technology industry’s most popular mobile apps could put officers’ lives in danger from would-be police killers who can find where their targets are parked.

Waze, which Google purchased for $966 million in 2013, is a combination of GPS navigation and social networking. Fifty million users in 200 countries turn to the free service for real-time traffic guidance and warnings about nearby congestion, car accidents, speed traps or traffic cameras, construction zones, potholes, stalled vehicles or unsafe weather conditions.   Continue reading “Sheriffs Want Popular Police-Tracking App Disabled”

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.   Continue reading “New Psychiatric Diagnosis Targets “Internet Conspiracy Theorists””

De Blasio rallies behind Obama's executive action on immigratonUnion Gazette

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”

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.   Continue reading “Wiping Out America…..

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”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

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.   Continue reading “Bill Proposed To Allow Voting Without US Citizenship”
