Special agent Rafael Prieto was under investigation for having an unreported romantic relationship with a foreign national, the source said. Continue reading “U.S. Secret Service agent found dead, apparent suicide: source”
While politicians and pundits alike inside the beltway beat up the White House over computer system glitches, health insurance companies still project robust revenue growth and profits from a boom in business from newly insured Americans under the Affordable Care Act.
Take this week’s third-quarter earnings report and financial projections of Wellpoint (WLP), one of the nation’s largest health insurers, which earlier this week raised its earnings guidance for thethird time this year. Amid a flurry of stories about the troubled launch of the federal health insurance marketplace web site known as healthcare.gov, Wellpoint said its improved outlook is due in part to gains from the Affordable Care Act. On Friday, the Obama administration named a contractor to fix the site, saying it should be fixed by the end of November.

After nearly five years of planning, a large-scale attempt to turn a big chunk of Detroit into an urban forest is now underway. The purchase of more than 1,500 vacant city-owned lots on the city’s lower east side – a total of more than 140 acres – got final approval from Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr and Michigan Governor Rick Snyder last week.
The buyer is Hantz Farms, and it’s a venture of financier John Hantz, who lives in the nearby Indian Village neighborhood. Indian Village is an affluent enclave of manor-scale historic homes, but much of the surrounding area is blighted. Hantz Farms will pay more than $500,000 for the land, which consists of non-contiguous parcels in an area where occupied homes are increasingly surrounding by abandoned properties.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is stressing that information submitted while signing up for coverage under a major new health care law will not be used to enforce immigration law.
That’s always been the practice, but some immigrants fear that personal details could be used against them. That led the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to clarify. In a memo released late Friday, the agency said it does not use information provided during the health coverage enrollment process to pursue civil immigration enforcement. Continue reading “Health info won’t be used to enforce immigration law”

Well, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department isn’t using an oracle yet, but it is getting one step closer to Minority Report-style crime predicting. The department has become the latest agency to use big data analytics and data mining to prevent crime by staying one step ahead of criminals. According to IBM, the company has entered into a partnership with the Fort Lauderdale PD to integrate new data and analytics tools into everyday crime fighting. The new projects will use pattern recognition and anomaly detection tech on existing records like 911 calls, crime records, and building permit activity.

Ken,
I forgot about this but Laura just reminded me. She wanted you to see the flyer we are handing out to parents across the street from Kate Sessions Elementary School a few blocks from our house (the same elementary school I attended as a child). We found an enormous cell phone tower disguised as a tree located at the edge of the school property.

A Kansas City man has been arrested and charged for a threat involving Wichita’s water supply.
Last week the city received information from the FBI about the threat.
Friday, federal prosecutors say a 69-year-old man wanted money in exchange for helping to stop the plot against the Wichita supply and the water in three other cities. Continue reading “Missouri man charged in Wichita’s water plot”

TODAY MARKS THE 100th anniversary of the largest and most-well funded hate and defamation group in the history of mankind: the Anti-Defamation League, or “ADL.” The organization was originally called the “Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith” after its parent group, the Jewish fraternal order B’nai B’rith (meaning “Sons of the Covenant,” or, literally, “Sons of the Cut” — referring to circumcision). (ILLUSTRATION: Abraham Foxman, director of the ADL) Continue reading “ADL: 100 Years of Hate”
Oh, the hilarity that is the phrase “criminal justice system.” Talk to any defense attorney and they’ll tell you how the deck is stacked against defendants and defense lawyers. The ideal of “innocent until proven guilty” has become little more than a disclaimer tacked onto cop-centered reality shows. Defendants are guilty until the jury is somehow tricked by the defense into handing down a “not guilty” verdict. A lot of effort goes towards dissuading defendants from even making it this far, as prosecutors will present worst-case scenarios comprised of every violation conceivable in order to get an agreement to plead guilty to a lesser charge.

Beginning this week, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is evaluating state and local emergency planning and preparedness agencies’ abilities to respond to an emergency at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Lusby.
“These drills are held every other year to test government’s ability to protect public health and safety,” MaryAnn Tierney, regional administrator for FEMA Region III, said in a FEMA news release. “We will evaluate state and local emergency response capabilities within the 10-mile emergency-planning zone of the nuclear facility.” Continue reading “FEMA evaluating county response to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant emergency”
On Friday, Pulaski County sheriff’s deputies arrested Mohammed Mahmoud Omar Mefleh, 34, and Antoine Clela, 31, after they reportedly tried to lure a 12-year-old girl into their vehicle.
The pair repeatedly stopped in front of the victim’s home where she was playing with another young child, all the while asking her for “sexual favors,” according to deputies. Continue reading “Foreign soldiers tried to abduct, sexually assault 12-year-old girl in Missouri”

When Staff Sgt. Troy Torres and his wife, Sgt. Lori Torres, joined the California National Guard more than five years ago, they were stirred by patriotism and persuaded by something more tangible – the prospect of paying down some student loans.
Each was promised $20,000 in loan repayments over six years, an enticement for recruits. Now, the Guard is asking for it back. Continue reading “As National Guard claws back recruitment incentives, soldiers feel pain”
Two students were taken to local hospitals Wednesday after a student fired a police rifle during an officer’s drug-awareness presentation at a Chino elementary school, authorities said.
A student pulled the trigger on an AR-15 that was mounted on a police motorcycle that was on display during an event for students, according to Tamrin Olden, a spokeswoman for the Chino Police Department. Continue reading “Student Fires AR-15 Mounted on Chino Police Motorcycle, Injuring 3”
U.S.Military not exempt from Obama’s deception
When Dr.Terrence Lakin, former U.S.Army Lt.Col., began hearing of many legal challenges to Barack Obama’s Presidential eligibility, he, in compliance with his sworn oath (similiar to Obama’s),to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic”, went through military channels for clarification of this issue. Receiving no help, he then wrote directly to Obama, asking him to confirm that a valid “Certificate of Live Birth” (required by Hawaiian law) had been filed by him in 2008.

It is a well-established fact that all official statistics which the Western Orion governments and states publish annually are forged and fraudulent. This is obvious for all financial data. But one expects that it is much more difficult to forge demographic statistics as to hide the intended genocide on humanity by the ruling dark cabal in the End Time, whose aim is to establish the NWO and preserve their power. This has been a leitmotif in all my publications on this topic. And indeed I will prove below that it is not so easy to forge demographic data to anybody who displays a logical, unspoiled mind and has a clear view as to what is ongoing on this most toxic and criminal planet in the whole universe.

The rumblings of capital and currency controls are causing a stir among perceptive financial observers. You do not have to be a business-banking customer to fear the consequences of restricting the transfer of money. Both domestic and international wires no longer being available to be sent from a business savings account, may seem unimportant to the average Chase customer. Many do not have enough money on deposit to pay the wire fee. However, the kicker is that you can still receive wire transfers. Continue reading “Transfers excluded, JPMorgan Chase is Wired”
