Special Op Veterans Groups Have Launched 'Counter Jade Helm' OperationInfowars – by Paul Joseph Watson and Joe Biggs

Patriot groups across the country are preparing to launch a ‘Counter Jade Helm’ operation to keep tabs on a controversial U.S. military exercise that some fear is part of preparations to train troops for civil unrest and martial law.

Jade Helm, a “realistic” military training exercise involving nine states, which will involve the Green Berets, Navy Seals, and the 82nd Airborne Division and is set to take place from July 15-Sepember 15, has prompted concerns after Texas and Utah were labeled “hostile” territory in documents related to the exercise.   Continue reading “Special OP Veterans Groups Have Launched ‘Counter Jade Helm’ Operation”

To whom this may concern;

Are you serious? I voted for one person and that was Ron Paul! You ask me to stand with Rand, Why? Is he going to save this country from the inevitable disaster that is upon us? I doubt it!

What a disgrace these politicians have become, they care for no one but themselves and trust me I’ve shaken many hands while being lied too directly to my face. I used to think Rand was that apple that wouldn’t fall far from the Ron Paul tree but not only did it fall from that tree, it continued its path right off a cliff!   Continue reading “An open response letter to Rand Paul”

Staten Island, NY- Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo using a banned chokehold technique on Eric Garner, has not been released from prison this week despite posting bail.

Orta, 23, was indicted last December on gun charges shortly after a grand jurydeclined to indict Pantaleo for the death of Eric Garner. Orta was accused of placing a handgun in a teenager’s waistband and faces two felony weapon charges and a misdemeanor weapon possession charge in that case. After Orta was arrested, the New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association made a statement proposing the idea that it was “criminals like Mr. Orta who carry illegal firearms who stand to benefit the most by demonizing the good work of police officers.”   Continue reading “Release Of Jailed Man Who Filmed NYPD Choking Of Eric Garner Delayed Despite Posting Bail”

State laws in the “may issue” states vary quite a bit.  In New York, it appears that the state has to grant a license, or at lease deny one withing a certain time limit, but bureaucratic maneuvers make it vary across the State and the time limits are widely ignored.   It is impossible to get a permit in New York City.  In New Jersey, permits are pretty much limited to former police officers, former judges, and the politically connected.  In Hawaii, almost no one gets permits except for a few armed guards.    Continue reading “Could Governor Christe Change NJ Gun Law with a Stroke of a Pen?”

The City of Philadelphia does not want you to know in which neighborhoods the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) is focusing their use of powerful automatic license plate readers (ALPR), nor do they want disclosed the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of this technology, as they continue to fight a Declaration public records request filed in January with MuckRock News.

City officials argue in their response that every metro driver is under investigation, in an effort to exempt so-called criminal investigatory records from release under PA’s Right-to-Know Act:   Continue reading “In Fighting Disclosure of Philly License Plate Reader Records, Officials Claim Every Driver is ‘Under Investigation’”
