A candidate for Congress in Georgia said earlier this year that he’d rather see another terrorist attack on the United States than have Transportation Security Agency screenings at airports.
Bob Johnson, a doctor and Republican candidate in Georgia’s solidly-red 1st District, said at a February candidate forum that the TSA is “indoctrinating” Americans. Continue reading “House candidate: I’d ‘rather see’ terror attack than TSA screening”

The U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the appeal of a New Jersey gun owner in Drake v. Jerejian, means the state may continue to deny most residents permits to carry a handgun outside their homes. The high court’s decision to deny a hearing, issued without comment Monday, apparently allows other states to also require, as New Jersey law does, the demonstration of a “justifiable need” to carry a firearm outside the home before a permit is issued. Critics say the law grants officials virtually unlimited discretion over a citizen’s right to bear arms. New Jersey state Senator Jeff Van Drew, who wants to amend the law, says the permits are rarely granted. Continue reading “High Court Leaves Second Amendment in Limbo”

VISTA — The Sheriff’s Department apologized, but now it is facing a Vista family’s lawsuit over a deputy who pepper sprayed and beat their 21-year-old son, who has Down syndrome, when he failed to obey the deputy’s orders.
Antonio Martinez, who has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old, suffered scrapes, bruises and eye irritation from the Dec. 18, 2012 encounter, according to the suit filed Thursday in Vista Superior Court. Continue reading “Suit alleges deputy beat mentally disabled man”
Chinese police will help patrol tourist destinations in Paris this summer after a rise in muggings and attacks on Chinese tourists, a source in France’s interior ministry said Tuesday.
More than one million Chinese visitors come to France every year and there have been concerns over a number of muggings and attacks against them. Continue reading “Chinese police to help patrol Paris streets”

Talks between the city and the Department of Justice begin today on writing a court-enforceable consent decree that would change the way the Albuquerque Police Department operates.
Both federal and city officials expressed optimism, but Justice Department lawyers left no doubt about one thing: If they can’t reach an agreement, they are prepared to file a federal lawsuit to stop what they found during a 16-month investigation was a pattern and practice by APD of excessive and deadly force. Continue reading “Scathing report on APD use of force”
The U.S. Capitol Police are investigating threatening emails against Rep. Trey Gowdy, the South Carolina Republican recently tapped to lead a special panel probing the Benghazi terrorist attacks.
The investigation comes after POLITICO reporters and journalists at other outlets received two emails on Tuesday warning that Gowdy would be harmed because of his role in investigating the 2012 attacks. Continue reading “Police investigate threats against Trey Gowdy”

More and more, we are seeing citizens being invited to “participate” in various forms of meetings, councils, or boards to “help determine” public policy in one field or another. They are supposedly being included to get ”input” from the public to help officials make final decisions on taxes, education, community growth or whatever the particular subject matter might be.
Sounds great, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, surface appearances are often deceiving. Continue reading “The Delphi Technique: Let’s Stop Being Manipulated!”
A U.S. Army base outside San Antonio may have doubled as a secret weapons depot for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) going back to the height of the Cold War.
Allen Thomson, who worked for the CIA as an analyst from 1972 to 1985, says in a report (pdf) he compiled that the spy agency used Camp Stanley, located in Boerne, Texas, for decades to store guns, explosives and other munitions. Continue reading “Is the CIA Storing Weapons in Texas?”

Besides being an effective poison to the human metabolism, it seems Pepsi and Coca-Cola have another popular function in other parts of the world. One of India’s leading voluntary agencies, the Center for Science and Environment (CSE) said that soft drinks manufactured in India, including those carrying the Pepsi and Coca-Cola brand names, contain unacceptably high levels of pesticide residues and consequently many farmers have used the beverages to combat pests because of low costs compared to conventional pesticide brands. Continue reading “Pepsi and Coca-Cola Used As Pesticide In India Because They’re Cheap and Get The Job Done”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the nation’s gun culture has gotten “way out of balance” and the U.S. needs to rein in the notion that “anybody can have a gun, anywhere, anytime.”
The former secretary of state and potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said the idea that anyone can have a gun is not in the “best interest of the vast majority of people.” But she said that approach does not conflict with the rights of people to own firearms. Continue reading “Hillary Clinton: Gun culture ‘way out of balance’”
At ToBeFree, I’ve focused mainly on the Rockefellers, key kingpins in the US, which apparently are secretly worth more than $10 trillion. But the Rothschilds are far more wealthier, and are by many considered the greatest controlling factor worldwide — the kingpins of the world!
In the late ’90s, I attended an event in which Gaylon Ross was lecturing. He laid out the big picture for me that has continued to prove true. In addition to speaking about these two families, he laid out the elite’s plan to create unions within the continents, and then merge all 5 continents into the one-world government which they control.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Monday night that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has “destroyed his own reputation” with the fatuous claim that the White House email prepping Susan Rice for her post-Benghazi appearance on the Sunday talk shows had nothing to do with Benghazi.
McCain seems a little shocked at the behavior of Carney, whom he and everyone else around town knew, as McCain describes it, as a “pretty straightforward journalist.” Also a pretty good one. Continue reading “McCain: Jay Carney Has “Destroyed His Own Reputation””
