Washington–President Obama today signed into law the “America’s Secret Services Helping Our Liberties Endure” act, or ASSHOLE.

“This much needed piece of legislation will give us the tools we need to place an ASSHOLE on nearly every street corner, making our great country impervious to another 9/11,” said the president, adding “There will be an ASSHOLE on your cell phone, an ASSHOLE monitoring your ISP and many more ASSHOLE’s in our schools, work places and other public meeting places where al Qaeda types can and do flourish.”   Continue reading “An “A.S.S.H.O.L.E.” Will Be Everywhere, Promises President Obama”

The cholesterol-lowering statin drug empire continues to crumble. This past Sunday (February 15, 2015) the Sunday Express in the UK published a headline story stating that Oxford professor Dr. Rory Collins, whose research had been used to support putting millions of patients on statin drugs, was reassessing the data behind those studies for possible drug side effects they might have missed previously.

According to the Express:

Although the original research looked at the effect of statins on the heart and considered cancer risks it did not examine other side effects.

Back in the good old days, we might order a hundred pizzas to someone’s house, or sign them up for unsavoury email newsletters, but today’s online pranksters go to the extremes. The new thing is calling SWAT teams to people’s houses. Like, assault-rifles-pointed-at-your-family SWAT teams.

Kotaku reports that last week, 60,000 people watched Runescape streamer Koopatroopa787, aka Joshua Peters, abruptly leave his stream after his mother told him cops were at the door. He later released a video tearfully explaining that the SWAT team came in, had pointed an assault rifle at his 10 year old brother, and that if something had gone wrong, the idiot who’d called the SWAT team to his house could’ve gotten Peters’ family killed.    Continue reading “Swatting: The fun new hobby where you get SWAT teams to storm innocent people’s houses”

When the Negotium essay, Long History of HSBC Money Laundering was written over two years ago, one might think that the Banksters would look to take a lower profile. Forget about it, when you are part of a made criminal syndicate you never have to serve time, just say you are sorry. Bloomberg reports, the “HSBC Holdings Plc Chief Executive Officer Stuart Gulliver offered “sincerest apologies” following fresh details of how the bank’s Swiss unit helped customers evade taxes.”

The Forbes column, ‘Corporate Governance Is The Very Essence Of A Business’ presents a half hearted public relations spin from the notorious bank for Drug, Inc.   Continue reading “HSBC Corporate Governance Corruption”

The United States has “a long tradition of welcoming refugees,” and it expects to welcome thousands more of them from Syria in 2015 and 2016, despite concerns about foreign fighters, the State Department said.

“The United States has admitted 524 Syrians since 2011. We’re likely to admit 1,000 to 2,000 Syrian refugees for permanent resettlement in Fiscal Year 2015 and a somewhat higher number, though still in the low thousands, in Fiscal Year 2016,” spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday.   Continue reading “U.S. Expects to Quadruple the Number of Syrian Refugees Brought Here”

GERMANTOWN (WITI) — Thanks to man’s best friend and some quick police work, a Germantown woman is alive.

Early Friday morning, February 13th, John Boy, a black labrador, was found running around the Autumn Ridge neighborhood off of County Line Rd. in Germantown.

“He stood there and barked a little bit, then I rolled down my window and called to him. Then he wagged his tail and got more friendly until I got out of my car. And then he ran a little bit,” said Jeff Gonzalez of the Germantown Police Department.   Continue reading ““He pointed me in the right direction:” Dog leads officer to his owner, slumped over in chair”

Dr. Ben Carson, a potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate, said on Monday that now is the time to “crush” the Islamic State while they are still in their “adolescent stage,” adding that he would use “every resource available” if he were president of the United States.

Appearing on Fox News, Carson said everyone in Washington, D.C., sees themselves as “Democrats and Republicans instead of Americans.” In Washington, he said, “everything is aimed at enhancing one’s political position rather than strengthening the nation.”   Continue reading “Ben Carson Is Asked How He Would Fight The Islamic State”

Guns Save Lives – by Sam Cadle

Crime Stoppers of Oregon has launched a new campaign to help stop felons and juveniles with firearms.  According to Crime Stoppers of Oregon persons under 18 are not allowed to possess firearms (generally).  There is plenty of times that I can think of that a child is able to be in possession of a firearms that wouldn’t be against the law.  But it doesn’t seem like they differentiate between to two, or even tell people when someone under 18 might be legally allowed to be in possession of a firearm.

I can’t help but wonder if there is going to be a huge spike in reports and investigations surrounding hunting season when a juvenile under 18 might be in possession of a firearm.  It would appear that they are leaving the investigation of that to law enforcement.  So if you are from Oregon, and hunt with your kids you might want to look out.  Law enforcement might be investigating you based on the tip from someone looking to collect some money.   Continue reading “OREGON: Report a Kid With a Gun, Collect $250?”
