On Sunday, police in Omaha arrested Pedro Diego-Antonio, 31, after he reportedly hit a man crossing the street at the intersection of 38th and Dodge Streets. The Guatemalan national fled the scene, but was taken into custody, only a few blocks from the fatal crash.

As a result of the impact, the victim, 64-year-old Dr. Edward Horowitz, was thrown nearly 20 feet, into the windshield of a U-Haul truck stopped at the red light. Less than an hour later, he died at a local hospital from his massive injuries.   Continue reading “Illegal alien with history of DUIs charged with killing doctor in Nebraska”

Students could have advertisements directed at them by Coca-Cola due to holes in existing privacy laws, one expert testified Wednesday during a House hearing on the data security of American schoolchildren.

Joel Reidenberg, who directs the Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham Law School, told joint hearing of two House subcommittees that the privacy risks of growing digital efforts in education are grossly underappreciated.   Continue reading “Student Data Could Be Sold To Coke, Expert Warns On Capitol Hill”

Nearly 1,200 Chicago teachers and other unionized staff received layoff notices Thursday because of declining enrollment, the city’s schools chief announced.

Pink slips went out to 550 teachers and 600 other members of the Chicago Teachers Union.

Public schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett said the staff reductions “are driven by declining student enrollment at each of the affected schools,” which were not immediately identified.   Continue reading “Chicago lays off 1,150 teachers, staff”

As Congress remains gridlocked by the partisan wrangling over the issue of illegal immigration, New York City this week approved two separate plans that advocates say could signal a sea change in the ways cities handle undocumented workers and their families.

On Wednesday, the New York City Council earmarked $4.9 million of the city budget to give legal assistance to foreign-born New York residents facing deportation. This makes New York the first city in the US to provide lawyers for low-income immigrants detained by federal authorities. The city will provide such aid both for undocumented immigrants and for those with legal residency.    Continue reading “New York to provide free legal aid, IDs to undocumented immigrants”

Privacy SOS

Today the ACLU released a major report, tracking the militarization of the police in the United States. The report found, among other startling things, that only 7 percent of the 800 SWAT raids studied occurred in hostage and barricade situations and against active shooters. The vast majority were related to drugs. In what probably won’t come as a shock to black and brown people, the majority of these SWAT raids executed to serve drug warrants were against people of color.

Here in Massachusetts, we also released a report on the same subject. Unfortunately, it is very slim on SWAT raid details. One of the reasons it is so slim on these details is because the cops, when asked for after-action reports and statistics on raids, claimed they didn’t have them, that it would be too expensive to compile them, or that they didn’t have to obey public records law.   Continue reading “Regional SWAT squad claims it is a private organization, not subject to public records law”

US Patent Office

Abstract

A new apparatus for location and monitoring of humans has been developed. The device employs a unique programmable signal generator and detection system to locate and monitor the movement of individuals. It additionally utilizes a physiological monitoring system to signal a warning for the necessity for immediate help. The device is small enough to be implanted in young children as well as adults. The power supply and signal generator are designed to function at a low duty cycle for prolonged periods before recharging.    Continue reading “Implantable Homing Device Patent”

Rick Perlstein writes about how Democrats completely surrendered our political will to control guns when the Obama administration backed away from the Bundy ranch. And I have to admit, he makes a good point. I assumed the feds would be back later — as in, a few weeks. How long has it been now? By the time anything actually happens, will it have any real deterrent effect?

But Perlstein doesn’t mention the big honkin’ elephant in the room: Namely, at what point does the federal government literally go to war with its own citizens? Because we’re not talking about bank robbers here, we’re talking about (mostly) non-criminal cranks — scofflaws and political malcontents. So what line has to be crossed in the good old U.S. of A. before we start mowing them down to make our point? Because you can’t talk about the Bundy ranch without talking about Ruby Ridge, and Waco.   Continue reading “Propaganda Alert: So At What Point Do We Actually Stand Up To The Gun Nuts?”

The Forbidden Knowledge

There over 600 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States.

The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning that if a mass exodus of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Rex 84 allowed many military bases to be closed down and to be turned into prisons.   Continue reading “U.S. Concentration Camps – Fema and the Rex 84 Program”

You weren’t the only one shocked by the string of recent Supreme Court rulings in support of the Constitution.

This week Americans have witnessed multiple landmark decisions against the unconstitutional procedures used by the Obama administration and police departments in the United States.

On Wednesday the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that police officers need warrants to search cell phones of the people they arrest. The decision is the most surprising in years, and it is likely to put a spotlight on the government’s ability to do the same thing.   Continue reading “Supreme Court: Obama Violated Constitution, Police Need Warrants to Search Smartphones | Federal Judge: No-Fly List is Unconstitutional”
