Police violated a suspect’s Fourth Amendment rights when, in an attempt to find drugs on his person, they temporarily paralyzed him and administered an anal probe, a US federal court has ruled.

Felix Booker and his brother were driving through Oak Ridge, Tennessee in February 2010 when police stopped their vehicle. Smelling marijuana, police brought a K-9 unit to the scene, which alerted them to drugs in the car. Even though police are only authorized to give a ticket when finding less than 14 grams of marijuana, officers arrested Booker after finding .06 grams in his car.

With president Obama taking his role as Warmonger-In-Chief ever more seriously, it is easy to forget that the only important function before the greatest presidential teleprompter reader in history, is that of Socialized Healthcare Provider-in-Comrade. And so today, in the fog of pre-war, the Obama administration released the final rules on the “Individual Mandate” component of Obamacare, which requires most Americans to buy health insurance starting in 2014 or be fined. Specifically, the rules list lay out the amount of penalties that Americans will face if they opt out of socialized healthcare.

The Young Turks have a couple of video clips out which are worth the time it takes to watch them.

They point out how the media and establishment politicians continue to beat the drum “we have to attack Syria,” completely ignoring the fact that a tiny minority actually wants the U.S. to intervene in Syria while an overwhelmingly majority of Americans want the U.S. to stay out of Syria’s business.

After a 29-month cover-up, the Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) is now calling for international help and has all but admitted Fukushima’s radiation leaks are spiraling out of control.

The coming free fall into squalor and horror will be particularly shocking to those who rely on designer “resilient communities” and “sustainable life styles” of the five hundred acres and independence kind. There will come a time when they’ll wish they had less expertise in their pet’s dental hygiene and more in how to keep little Suzy off the menu of feral dogs with bad gums. With them, survival means comfort and convenience in the midst of other people’s annoying travails. Continue reading “Shock”

Every militia should take preparatory measures in setting up a phone tree.

A phone tree is a network of people organized in such a way that they can quickly and easily spread information amongst each other. Phone trees are especially common among parents, who often want to be able to communicate quickly about canceled events and other issues, and they are also used by activists and a variety of other groups as well. Setting up a solid phone tree takes time, but many people feel that it is well worth the effort, since the phone tree can be used again and again. Continue reading “Setup A Phone Tree.”

After just one year, some schools around the country are dropping out of the healthier new federal lunch program, complaining that so many students turned up their noses at meals packed with whole grains, fruits and vegetables that the cafeterias were losing money.

Federal officials say they don’t have exact numbers but have seen isolated reports of schools cutting ties with the $11 billion National School Lunch Program, which reimburses schools for meals served and gives them access to lower-priced food.

The United States restated Tuesday that it means to drive Bashar Assad from power in Syria, but denied it would use potential U.S.-led military strikes in response to his forces’ alleged chemical weapons attack to do so.

“I want to make clear that the options that we are considering are not about regime change,” White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters at his daily briefing. “They are about responding to clear violation of an international standard that prohibits the use of chemical weapons.” Continue reading “U.S.: Not trying to take out Assad with Syria response”

As the Obama administration considers striking the Syrian regime as soon as Thursday, President Obama and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey are coming under increased criticism for their handling of the ballooning crisis.

Administration officials have told various news outlets that Obama is considering limited cruise-missile or bomber strikes against regime targets, likely for a period of three days. The strikes would be a punishment and deterrent aimed at Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in response to his reported use of chemical weapons against civilians near Damascus on August 21. Opposition sources have said they were told by “Western powers” that strikes could begin within the next few days.

“A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all”.

–Tacitus

This quote has been repeated in many forms by many American Presidents since George Washington, by patriotic American politicians, diplomats, militiary officers, academicians, few journalists, and a few courageous American citizens of all faiths especially Christians, and Jewish Americans who stand firm despite the hate, death threats, and alienation from the Jewish community.

The US has accused the Syrian government of delaying UN inspectors from accessing the site of an alleged chemical weapons attack in Damascus. But now, according to Reuters, the US appears to be preparing to strike Syria militarily before the UN’s now ongoing investigation is concluded and evidence revealed to either support or conflict with the West’s so far baseless allegations.

Reuters’ article, “Syria strike due in days, West tells opposition: sources,” states that: Continue reading “Reuters: US to Strike Syria Before UN Evidence Collected”

Elysium is a dramatic and dystopian vision of a post-apocalyptic Earth. The movie in not unlike the movie Hunger Games in which the majority of humanity is condemned to live in an overpopulated, diseased-ridden and violent planet.

The elite in Elysium occupy their orbiting paradise without want or illness, while today’s elite have massive underground structures beneath such places as Denver International Airport. While the rank and file of America is cursed with Obamacare, this dichotomy parallels the life extension technologies being employed by the elite in which our overlords, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Kissinger, Brzezinski and Soros are older than dirt but still keep enslaving humanity with youthful vigor as they have access to life extension technologies which emanates from transhumanism, the most evil application of science in our collective history. These overlords are Satan’s best emissary’s on this planet. Continue reading “Conditioning Humanity for the Inevitable”
