Christopher Vannote had been filming deputies from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (scroll down for video). He followed the cops across the street to make sure he didn’t miss anything. The idea was to keep police accountable for their actions. If something was going to go down, Vannote wanted to have a record of it. And maybe, just maybe, being filmed would force the police to behave themselves.

But as he crossed the street, deputies told him not to walk up behind them because they “have guns.”   Continue reading “Man Tries To File Complaint Against Police Officer, Cop Follows Him and Cites Him For Jaywalking”

SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea has test-fired a new anti-ship cruise missile, images released by state media on Saturday showed, demonstrating the increased capability of the secretive state’s outdated navy.

The images were released in the lead-up to U.S.-South Korean military exercises this spring. North Korea routinely seeks to raise tensions ahead of the annual drills, although this year Pyongyang has also offered to suspend nuclear testing if Washington calls off the exercises.   Continue reading “North Korea test-fires new anti-ship cruise missile”

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Washington Oath Keepers Alert!

Elias Alias here. I got a letter from Mike Vanderboegh, Founder of the national III% movement, alerting me to this event which is upcoming on February 07, 2015, in Olympia, Washington.

Unfortunately, Stewart Rhodes, President of Oath Keepers, is already booked in Pennsylvania for the week of February 07 through February 15 2015, so he cannot attend this rally in Washington State. I am hoping that many in our Oregon, Idaho, and Washington chapters will be able to attend this event on short notice, because it’s got great potential to focus public attention on serious gun rights issues.   Continue reading “Washington State Patriots Preparing To Be Arrested, Will Not Back Down!”

Fixing stop and frisk is going to be costly for taxpayers.

The court-appointed monitor overseeing reforms to the NYPD’s controversial practice will make a whopping $43,750-a-month, according to court records.

The fee for Peter Zimroth includes work done by staff at his law firm, Arnold and Porter, but not for outside consultants who help them — and who can make up to $375-an-hour, according to an agreement with the city filed in Manhattan Federal Court on Friday.   Continue reading “Monitor overseeing stop and frisk reforms will cost more than 43G per month, court records show”

This week, a grand jury declined to indict a Bushwick teenager on terrorist-threat charges brought after he posted Facebook statuses with violent emojis. In addition to criminal gun and drug possession charges, the seventeen-year-old faced allegations that he caused “New York City police officers to fear for their safety” via a series of statuses he wrote in mid-January, one of which included a gun emoji pointed at an emoji of a police officer.

New York City police have been vocal about expanded monitoring of social media, which the department classifies as key to detecting “lone wolf” terrorists and would-be cop killers.   Continue reading “NYPD Social Media Policy Allows Catfishing—With the Proper Paperwork”

In 2000, Ecuador moved to ditch its stumbling currency for the U.S. dollar. Now more than 15 years later, the South American country is revamping its monetary system again—using digital currencies.

Ecuador’s Sistema de Dinero Electrónico (electronic money system) kicked off in December by allowing qualifying users to set up accounts, and it will begin acting as a real means of transaction this month.   Continue reading “Ecuador becomes the first country to roll out its own digital cash”

Roeland Park, KS — Recently in a number of US states, police have been writing people tickets for letting their cars warm up in the morning.

Not only are police extorting people for this common practice, but they have also been rummaging through people’s vehicles as a “demonstration” to show them how easily someone could steal their cars or belongings. Ironically the laws are said to be intended to prevent thieves from breaking into cars while the police are doing the job for them instead.   Continue reading “Police Promise to Extort, Kidnap, or Lock You in a Cage for Warming Up Your Car”

Something has been very wrong with the Chris Kyle story from the very beginning.  The circumstances and timing around his death are particularly troubling.  As usual with the violent death of a high profile individual, the entire incident seemed staged and unreal.

Many inflammatory statements in Kyle’s book are also troubling.  Various public comments that Chris has made about key events in war and after his return are equally disturbing.  Undoubtedly there has been something very heavy going on in the background for perhaps his entire military career.   Continue reading “The True Story About ‘American Sniper’ Chris Kyle Finally Comes Out”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States is pressing Cuba to allow the opening of its embassy in Havana by April, U.S. officials told Reuters, despite the Communist island’s demand that it first be removed from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.

A refusal by Cuba to allow the United States to quickly establish an official embassy for the first time in half a century could complicate talks between the Cold War foes, reflecting enduring mistrust as they move to end decades of confrontation.   Continue reading “U.S. pressing Cuba to restore diplomatic ties before April – officials”

Five years ago, Utah government computer systems faced 25,000 to 30,000 attempted cyberattacks every day.

At the time, Utah Public Safety Commissioner Keith Squires thought that was massive. “But this last year we have had spikes of over 300 million attacks against the state databases” each day: a 10,000-fold increase.

Why? Squires says it is probably because Utah is home to the new, secretive National Security Agency computer center, and hackers believe they can somehow get to it through state computer systems.

“I really do believe it was all the attention drawn to the NSA facility. In the cyberworld, that’s a big deal,” Squires told a legislative budget committee Tuesday. “I watched as those increases jumped so much over the last few years. And talking to counterparts in other states, they weren’t seeing that amount of increase like we were.”

Among the issues the NBPC Local 1613 representatives cited in speaking with Breitbart California after a Tuesday meeting with Congressman Duncan Hunter were Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA), an exceedingly high bar for prosecution of criminal aliens, agent pay reductions, decreased training time, and the need for improved equipment.   Continue reading “Border Patrol Agents Speaking Out Against New Orders”
