Center for Immigration Studies – by Jessica Vaughan

Congressional inquiries prompted by ICE’s recent release of immigration detainees, many of whom have criminal convictions or charges, reveal that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has billions of dollars in unexpended revenues, including resources for detention space. This information calls into question the administration’s claims that the detainee releases were necessary for budgetary reasons and casts further doubt on their commitment to immigration enforcement and homeland security.

A police officer in Texas has been terminated from the force after an investigation determined that he violated official policy when he rammed his car into a suspect’s vehicle, cornered him and then fired 41 shots, killing him.

Officer Patrick Tuter shot and killed Michael Vincent Allen on August 12, 2012, but he has only now been fired more than six months later. He has spent the last half year on administrative leave while the Garland Police Department conducted an investigation that has finally concluded this week.

An Occupy Wall Street activist was acquitted of assaulting a police officer and other charges on Thursday after jurors were presented with video evidence that directly contradicted the NYPD’s story.

Michael Premo was found innocent of all charges this week in regards to a case that stems from a December 17, 2011 Occupy Wall Street demonstration in Lower Manhattan. For over a year, prosecutors working on behalf of the New York Police Department have insisted that Premo, a known artist and activist, tackled an NYPD officer during a protest and in doing so inflicted enough damage to break a bone.

biohazarddoor 265x165 8 Ways Corporations are Poisoning Our Food, Water, the EarthNatural Society – by Mike Barrett

While we may be under the impression that our democratic system of government is here to protect us, corporations—and the politicians getting paychecks from them—do a fair job of making that difficult. This manner of “legislative capture” is manifesting itself in a host of appalling ways far beyond those listed here. Here are 8 ways corporations are poisoning our food supply, humans, and mother earth. Continue reading “8 Ways Corporations are Poisoning Our Food, Water, the Earth”

Perhaps you remember the ill-fated Just-Label-It campaign. A number of activist groups petitioned the FDA for a federal regulation that would make labeling GMO food mandatory.

The petition amassed over a million signatures. But the FDA decided only 394 of these were legitimate, because all the others were electronically submitted in one document. Continue reading “Monsanto and the FDA: 2 crimes families working a trillion-dollar hustle”

The GOP reportedly is considering “ceding” power to President Obama regarding the sequester.  The President will have until March 8 to come up with $85 billion in spending cuts and Congress can “veto” these by March 22 with a 2/3rds vote.

If this actually passes and Congress does this (presumably to embarrass the President by displaying “where” he cuts), the country will then pass into dictatorship.  The Constitution was written specifically to prevent this exact possibility! Continue reading “At the Brink of Dictatorship”

A Florida man whose bedroom has been ‘swallowed’ by a sinkhole is presumed dead. What in the world is going on with our Earth that so many sinkholes have been ‘popping up’ across the planet recently? Does this have anything at all to do with a ‘Nibiru Earth Wobble’ as this story from a Beforeitsnews contributor might argue? This particular sinkhole was found to be ‘not made by human beings’ and was still expanding, according to this story from Raw Story.

Few government research programs have produced as many questions and as much speculation as the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). From the potential of HAARP to disrupt and control communications to the possibility of controlling the weather and creating natural disasters, the sophistication of HAARP and the extent to which it is being used is the subject of much debate.

The US Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on Tuesday that a group of United States-based attorneys, journalists and human rights activists, along with their affiliated organizations, cannot sue to establish the unconstitutionality of a 2008 amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

The decision had nothing to do with the merits of the claim. Rather, the lawsuit was thrown out of court because the plaintiffs could not prove that the interception of their phone calls and emails was “certainly impending,” a legal standard never before imposed to deny someone the right to sue.

Wow, this is really disturbing. We have an Attorney General who was held in criminal contempt of Congress, and who holds the United States Congress that did so, equally in contempt. He says that being held in contempt of Congress is no  biggie because he doesn’t respect the 255 House members (including 17 Democrats) who voted in favor of it.

We are not in a good place, America: Continue reading “Holder Shruggs Off Being Held In Contempt of Congress – He Has No Respect For Them, Either”
