WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court says prosecutors can use a person’s silence against them if it comes before he’s told of his right to remain silent.

The 5-4 ruling comes in the case of Genovevo Salinas, who was convicted of a 1992 murder. During police questioning, and before he was arrested or read his Miranda rights, Salinas answered some questions but did not answer when asked if a shotgun he had access to would match up with the murder weapon.   Continue reading “Supreme Court Rules That Pre-Miranda Silence Can Be Used In Court”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A woman who was sentenced to death at age 16 for taking part in the torture and murder of a 78-year-old bible studies teacher was released from an Indiana prison Monday after growing to middle age behind bars.

Paula Cooper, whose 1986 death sentence enraged human rights activists and drew a plea for clemency from Pope John Paul II, left the state prison quietly in a state-owned van and wearing donated clothing, Department of Correction spokesman Doug Garrison said.   Continue reading “Indiana woman condemned for killing at 15 is freed”

Though Dan Langley had a heart attack while driving in Spring Lake Heights, that did not stop a police officer from giving him three traffic tickets.

A little more than a week after the April 1 heart attack, which led to a minor traffic accident, Langley, a 20-year-old Wall resident, received the tickets in the mail. When he went to the Spring Lake Heights Municipal Court to fight them, he and his family figured a doctor’s note would help convince the local prosecutor or judge to dismiss the summonses.   Continue reading “NJ man had a heart attack behind the wheel – and got 3 tickets from Spring Lake Heights police”

They have even bought a fleet of TRACTORS ahead of the US President’s arrival in Northern Ireland tomorrow for the two-day meeting.

Has anyone noticed that the primary spokesperson for this wildfire is one of the Sheriffs who adamantly refuses to enforce the new Gun Control laws and El Paso county is one of the counties that wants to succeed and form a new state?

What follows is in support of the previous 6/22/13 U.S. Coup Plot Revealed post.

In numerous TV shows and movies produced prior to September 2001, the numbers 9 and 11 were shown next to each other, often with the Twin Towers in the background. New examples of this are still being found, but perhaps the most famous case appeared in a 1997 episode of The Simpsons, called The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson.   Continue reading “9-11-01 And 6-22-13 Terrorism Foretold In Simpsons”

The fact that ‘the system’ is not made for you and I, but for the rich and powerful, should seriously be in our faces by now.

Sharing, under the so-called Judeo Christian Capitalist Boom-Bust ‘work ethic’ does not exist on any real scale, anywhere; profit before people and a system heavily skewing the distribution of wealth is the norm.   Continue reading “Prepping: “The Localization of Economies” or Growing Your Own Food Vs the Globalisation of Capitalist Economies and the Virtual Genocide of ‘the Poor””

I enjoy receiving emailed questions from our readers and try to respond as promptly as possible.  Here is a great question (photo enclosed by reader) that I am sure we’ve all wondered about at some point:

“I have a water storage question. I was clearing out boxes from a recent move & found these bottled waters that I had originally stored at the office in case of emergency. But as you can see in the photo, the bottles have changed shape like I drove up & down a mountain.  My mom, on a visit, saw these & made me throw them out (recycled bottles but water went down the drain) with the logic that the date on the bottle had past. But I thought that water couldn’t expire. Or is it the plastic (or plant based in one case) is the thing that expires?   If this was an emergency & I found these, would it be safe to drink? If I boiled & strained it first would that be safe to drink or only for sanitation?”   Continue reading “Is Expired Bottled Water Safe to Drink?”

A Texas mother’s determination to keep her family out of danger drove her to battle an alleged carjacker until he fled from her minivan — only to be struck by her vehicle as she tried to “stop him so he didn’t hurt anybody else,” the woman said.

While Dorothy Baker and her 2-year-old and 5-year-old sons were shopping Friday at a CVS in Baytown, Texas, a man identified as Ismael Martinez allegedly hid out in her unlocked van, police said.   Continue reading “Mother Protects Kids From Alleged Carjacker: ‘I Told Him He Messed With the Wrong Witch’”

You are probably participating in the facial recognition database whether you want to or not. Most likely, your visage is there to be easily identified, without your consent, even if you’ve never committed a crime.

Using the vague criteria of “law enforcement purposes”, the United States has more than 200 million Americans filed away in various facial recognition databases.  If you have a driver’s license or any other government photo ID, your face is probably one of them.   Continue reading “The Great American Dragnet: Over 200 Million People are in the Facial Recognition Database”

Here’s the latest goal for food makers: Perfect the art of imperfection.

When stretching out the dough for its premium “Artisan Pizzas,” Domino’s workers are instructed not to worry about making the rectangles too perfect: The pies are supposed to have a more rustic look.

At McDonald’s, the egg whites for the new breakfast sandwich called the Egg White Delight McMuffin have a loose shape rather than the round discs used in the original Egg McMuffin.   Continue reading “Food companies work to make it look natural”

Business Insider published an article about the NSA data center being constructed in Bluffdale, Utah. The facility, being roughly 1 million square feet, will house a computing and data harvesting and long term data storage facility to be operational by October 2013. (Source)

The stated purpose of the facility is to “listen and decode all foreign communications of interest to the security of the United States.” But in light of the recent revelations of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, the data center under construction in Utah is far more likely a tool of the United States Government (and its global masters) to collect unimaginable amounts of data on Americans and eventually every human on earth.   Continue reading “Skynet to Launch October, 2013”
