Cranes salvage the last car from from a train derailment in the Bronx section of New York, Monday, Dec. 2, 2013. Federal authorities began righting the cars Monday morning as they started an exhaustive investigation into what caused a Metro-North commuter train rounding a riverside curve to derail, killing four people and injuring more than 60 others. A second "event recorder" retrieved from the train may provide information on the speed of the train, how the brakes were applied, and the throttle setting, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board said Monday.

Update: Prison Planet has just released the first video below: Was Paul Walker murdered by a drone strike? A drone strike would certainly explain the 2nd explosion as seen in the 2nd video below.

Conspiracy theorists are debating whether or not the surveillance camera footage below which shows Paul Walker’s car striking a tree proves a conspiracy or an accident. What stands out to some is that there appear to be two explosions in this footage. There appears to be an explosion at the moment of impact and a 2nd explosion a few moments later. You can clearly tell that this footage is sped up by the speed of the cars that go by after the explosion; how much time between the two? The event takes place on the far right hand side of the screen. Does a 1st then 2nd explosion prove foul play or a conspiracy?   Continue reading “Paul Walker: 2 Explosions Seen On Newly Released Surveillance Video Footage Of Crash?”

The trial for two of the three Fullerton police officers charged in the beating death of mentally ill homeless man, Kelly Thomas, has begun. Manuel Ramos, the officer who first approached Kelly Thomas and delivered most of the damage, is facing charges of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Officer Jay Ciccinelli, who arrived on the scene moments later, is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter and use of excessive force.

Ramos’ lawyer, John Barnett, sought to have charges against his client dropped last year, claiming the 10-minute-long ordeal that Thomas suffered through before lapsing into a coma (first, attempting to tell officers he couldn’t breathe and, towards the end, crying out for his father) was a direct result of Thomas’ reluctance to be further hassled by the officer.   Continue reading “Lawyer For Cop Charged In Beating Death Of Homeless Man Claims Officer Didn’t Use ENOUGH Force”

The trial of two former Fullerton, California police officers accused of beating a homeless man to death began on Monday.

On July 5, 2011, 37-year-old Kelly Thomas was hospitalized after a run-in with police that saw him tasered multiple times, beaten with batons and the blunt side of a taser, while yelling for his father for help.  Thomas, who suffered from schizophrenia, fell into a coma as a result of the incident and was removed from life support five days later.   Continue reading “California cops go on trial for beating mentally ill homeless man to death”

Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)-  There are many people who advocate for bans on guns, but most of them are smart enough to know that the way to obtain such bans is incrementally, as has been done for the last 75 years.

Why can’t you walk down to the corner hardware store and buy a gun muffler for your pistol or rifle, like they do in Finland? Because a gun ban passed in 1934.   Continue reading “Combating the ‘No One Wants to Ban Guns Lie’”

In the 2012 highest-grossing documentary, “2016: Obama’s America,” political commentator Dinesh D’Souza made some startling predictions about the second term of Barack Obama – and now he has released a fresh, eight-minute addition to the film revealing how the president plans to “take America down a notch.”

D’Souza explains, “One of the predictions is that Obama would spend money promiscuously to raise the debt in virtual indifference to the impact of the debt on American citizens. In fact, Obama has been racking up the debt at the rate of $1 trillion a year. The debt has doubled in Obama’s term in office.”   Continue reading “‘2016’: Obama plans to ‘take America down’”

Serge Vorobyov, of Apple Valley, admitted throwing his “last $1,000” from the fourth floor on Friday as a choir performed “Let it Snow.” Vorobyov said he also kept tossing cash as he continued down the escalator.   Continue reading “Man Cited After Tossing Cash at Mall of America”

Secret Behind Communism Stalin's JewsMilitia News – by Sever Plocker

We mustn’t forget that some of greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish.

Here’s a particularly forlorn historical date: Almost 90 years ago, between the 19th and 20th of December 1917, in the midst of the Bolshevik revolution and civil war, Lenin signed a decree calling for the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka.   Continue reading “The Secret Behind Communism: Stalin’s Jews.”

We’re now seeing serious suggestions that Obama’s key legacy legislation, the (UN)Affordable Healthcare Act, may be repealed as soon as two months from now. The healthcare industry, representing a sixth of the U.S. economy, is in shambles. The American Department of Justice is completely corrupt, the State Department openly lies to the public, the government is now the largest entity that spies on Americans, and there are zero signs all of this is slowing down.

Barack Obama’s version of leadership has torn the fabric of a once great nation and is dragging us into the gutter. Which explains why we’re now seeing a retired Army general call for the “forced resignation” of the President and the corrupt individuals surrounding him.   Continue reading “Army General Calls For Forced Resignation Of Barack Obama.”

The following seven minutes of mayhem look eerily reminiscent of the violent pre-ambles to the middle-east’s recent coups or non-coups. As anti-government protesters demonstrated against the shunning of a European trade agreement (President Yanukovych – “I will not allow any serious economic losses and decline of living standards”); the clashes became ever more violent as the police cracked down.   Continue reading “Ukraine On The Edge: The 7 Minute Video Summary”
