FONTANA, CA — Breitbart News has learned that 46 illegal aliens, mostly women and children originally destined for the U.S. Border Patrol station in Murrieta, CA, were bused instead Thursday to the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Fontana, roughly 45 miles north. The 46 are among several hundred Central Americans who were caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas and have been transferred to California since.   Continue reading “46 Illegal Aliens Bused to Church in Fontana for Release”

Once upon a time, if a character on TV or in a movie tortured someone, it was a sure sign that he was a bad guy. Now, the torturers are the all-American heroes. From 24 to Zero Dark Thirty, it’s been the good guys who wielded the pliers and the waterboards. We’re not only living in a post-9/11 world, we’re stuck with Jack Bauer in the 25th hour.

In 2002, Cofer Black, the former Director of the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center, told a Senate committee, “All I want to say is that there was ‘before’ 9/11 and ‘after’ 9/11. After 9/11 the gloves come off.” He wanted them to understand that Americans now live in a changed world, where, from the point of view of the national security state, anything goes. It was, as he and various top officials in the Bush administration saw it, a dangerous place in which terrorists might be lurking in any airport security line and who knew where else.   Continue reading “The 25th Hour – Still Living With Jack Bauer in a Terrified New American World”

Lew Rockwell – by Hans-Hermann Hoppe

The classical argument in favor of free immigration runs as follows: Other things being equal, businesses go to low-wage areas, and labor moves to high-wage areas, thus affecting a tendency toward the equalization of wage rates (for the same kind of labor) as well as the optimal localization of capital. An influx of migrants into a given-sized high-wage area will lower nominal wage rates. However, it will not lower real wage rates if the population is below its optimum size. To the contrary, if this is the case, the produced output will increase over-proportionally, and real incomes will actually rise. Thus, restrictions on immigration will harm the protected domestic workers qua consumers more than they gain qua producers. Moreover, immigration restrictions will increase the “flight” of capital abroad (the export of capital which otherwise might have stayed), still causing an equalization of wage rates (although somewhat more slowly), but leading to a less than optimal allocation of capital, thereby harming world living standards all-around.   Continue reading “On Free Immigration and Forced Integration”

AUSTIN Texas (Reuters) – President Barack Obama may look back on this week as the time when he dropped all pretense of political decorum and let all his frustrations with Washington gridlock spill forth.

Obama’s public speeches on a three-day trip, like the one he delivered at the Paramount Theater in Austin, Texas, on Thursday, covered many of the same talking points he delivers at Democratic fund-raising events.   Continue reading “Obama lets rip on trip out of Washington”

Toronto, Canada: Subjects who regularly inhale cannabis smoke possess no greater risk of contracting lung cancer than do those who consume it occasionally or not at all, according to data published online ahead of print in the International Journal of Cancer.

An international team of investigators from Canada, New Zealand, Great Britian, and the United States analyzed data from six case-control studies involving over 5,000 subjects (2,159 cases and 2,985 controls) from around the world.   Continue reading “Study: Habitual Marijuana Smoking Not Associated With Increased Risk Of Lung Cancer”

Detroit activists concerned about the massive water shutoffs across the economically devastated city blocked entrances into the yard of Homrich, a firm given a nearly $6 million contract to terminate services for hundreds of thousands of people. The firm was hired by emergency manager Kevyn Orr, who was appointed by right-wing Gov. Rick Snyder in March 2013, who later forced the city into the largest municipal bankruptcy in United States history a year ago.

Protesters were taken into custody and charged with disturbing the peace. A hearing was set for July 21.A picket line set up before 7:00 a.m. on July 10 blocked the entrance to Homrich for over an hour. Eventually police arrived and attempted to force demonstrators out of the driveway, prompting resistance leading to 10 arrests.   Continue reading “10 arrested blocking trucks sent to shutoff water services in Detroit”

Look up this weekend, just as we advised you to for the blood moon and total lunar eclipse in April!  A “Supermoon,” one of the largest moons of the year, will come visiting. Both Friday and Saturday nights should provide good viewing, though the phenomenon actually occurs at 7:25 am EDT Saturday.

This July moon is also known as a Full Buck Moon, because it appears at the time male deer (bucks) begin to sprout antlers; or as a Thunder Moon. Those familiar with July in the States can figure out where Thunder Moon gets its name.    Continue reading “Three Summer Supermoons Of 2014 Start Saturday”

Bunkerville NV (KTNV) — There’s new information on the showdown at the Bundy Ranch.

A new study claims the militia response was organized, a crime, and should be prosecuted. More than 200 militia convened in Bunkerville for several weeks after the Bureau of Land Management started rounding up rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle for failing to pay grazing fees to use public land.

The Southern Poverty Law Center said Bundy’s show of support from right-wing conservatives was not a grassroots effort, but an organized response representative of a much larger threat. They’re calling for action before things turn dangerous.   Continue reading “Southern Poverty Law Center Study claims militia at Bundy Ranch tied to violent, radical movement”

The nation’s most violent street gangs—including Mara Salvatrucha—are actively recruiting new members at U.S. shelters housing illegal immigrant minors and they’re using Red Cross phones to communicate, a Homeland Security source tells Judicial Watch.

JW has reported extensively on the crisis created by the sudden influx of mostly Central American minors that have crossed into the U.S. through the Mexican border in recent weeks. It has created havoc and will end up costing American taxpayers billions of dollars to house, process, medically treat, feed and inevitably educate the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) which are being dispersed throughout the country. They are bringing in dangerous diseases—including swine flu, dengue fever, Ebola virus and tuberculosis— and occupying our military bases as shelters.   Continue reading “MS-13 Actively Recruiting Illegal Alien Minors at U.S. Shelters”

For more than three days Israel has executed a bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip, home to more than 1.5 million Palestinians. Several hundred airstrikes on civilian-dominated areas were ordered by the Israeli military, killing at least 91 people, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Palestinian health services are on the brink of collapse due to the terror and panic caused by the high number of civilian victims(at least 18 children), not to mention 500 or more injuries.  Continue reading “Nobody Should Be A Number: Israel Mobilizes 40,000 Troops For Possible Gaza Ground Invasion”

TOKYO — Tropical storm Neoguri skirted past the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant on Japan’s east coast Friday and blew out to sea, leaving behind it a trail of destruction and several people dead.

The storm swept past Tokyo earlier Friday, where it failed to disrupt the morning rush-hour, but was still packing winds of up 83 kilometers an hour and bringing heavy rain.   Continue reading “Tropical storm skirts past Fukushima and heads out to sea”

The Border Patrol is being lied to by the federal government. That’s the only coherent conclusion one can come to when just last night BP agents confirmed there were no flights or buses scheduled in to southern California even though at that moment the fed was planning an all out assault on SoCal cities with buses loaded with illegal immigrants.   Continue reading “DHS Blitzes CA With Buses Full of Illegal Immigrants, Busloads Being Dropped Off at Churches”

In a stunning display of callousness, the Defense Department has announced that thousands of soldiers — many serving as commanding officers in Afghanistan — will be notified in the coming weeks that their service to the country is no longer needed.

Last week, more than 1,100 Army captains — the men and women who know best how to fight this enemy because they have experienced multiple deployments — were told they’ll be retired from the Army.   Continue reading “Sending pink slips to a war zone”

Just days after announcing the arrest of an intelligence officer on charges of spying for the United States, German authorities say they are investigating a second individual on suspicion of espionage. Federal prosecutors said yesterday that the individual in question is a German citizen and is under “initial suspicion of activity for an intelligence agency” of a foreign country.

They refused to provide further information and added that an arrest had not yet been made. But German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung said on Wednesday that the subject of the investigation is suspected of spying for the United States. The news comes less than a week after an officer of the BND, Germany’s main external intelligence organization, was found to have allegedly spied for the US Central Intelligence Agency for over two years.   Continue reading “Germany probes second case of intelligence officer who spied for US”

According to the Tampa Bay Times article, a Tampa Police SWAT team executing a warrant for marijuana sales knocked on the door of the home shared by Westcott and his roommate on the evening of the 27th, but both men were sleeping. When no one answered, police entered through the unlocked front door. Continue reading “Florida Man Killed in SWAT Raid Over Small-Time Marijuana Sales”

A Monday joint press conference was held by Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Guatemalan president Otto Perez Molina to announce their agreement to jointly cooperate in and facilitate the invasion of their northern neighbor, the United States.

Labeled “The Southern Border Program to Improve Passage,” it is an officially-sanctioned, coordinated effort on the part of Mexico and the nations of Central America to invade the United States.   Continue reading “Act of War on America – Mexico and Guatemala Sign Agreement to Fast-Track Invasion of U.S.”

A Mexican federal judge sent Andrew Tahmooressi back to prison after the U.S. Marine sergeant made his first official courtroom appearance since being locked up more than three months ago for accidentally crossing the border with guns in his pickup truck.

The 26-year-old veteran of two tours in Afghanistan was finally able to tell his story to a judge, after his case had been delayed by both Mexico’s unpredictable legal system and his own trouble settling on a lawyer. It was not immediately clear what Tahmooressi said at the evidentiary hearing, which was closed to the public. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for August 4.   Continue reading “Mexican judge sends Tahmooressi back to prison”
