A landscaper arrested in a series of Phoenix freeway shootings told a judge that authorities have “the wrong guy” as investigators stood by their detective work that traced the gun to the suspect after he took it to a pawn shop.
Leslie Allen Merritt Jr. was charged Saturday with counts including aggravated assault, criminal damage, disorderly conduct, carrying out a drive-by shooting and intentional acts of terrorism. Continue reading “Phoenix Freeway Shooting Suspect: ‘I’m the Wrong Guy’”
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — About 170,000 convicted criminal aliens who have been ordered deported remain at large in the United States. More than 200 US municipalities currently provide safe-haven as sanctuary cities to illegal immigrants.
“If we are to remain a nation of laws as opposed to a nation of illegal alien mob rule, then I have no issue with DHS [Department of Homeland Security] treating illegal aliens as criminal detainees,” Gilchrist said on Friday.

The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.
The Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that belongs to all law-abiding Americans. The Constitution doesn’t create that right – it ensures that the government can’t take it away. Our Founding Fathers knew, and our Supreme Court has upheld, that the Second Amendment’s purpose is to guarantee our right to defend ourselves and our families. This is about self-defense, plain and simple. Continue reading “Trump’s BS Second Article Position”
“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.“
This is a House of Rothschilds maxim, widely attributed to banking tycoon Mayer Amschel Rothschild in 1838 and said to be a founding principle for the highly corrupt banking and political system we have today. Along with the Rockefellers, the Rothschild dynasty is estimated to be worth well over a trillion dollars. How are these powerful families linked to the ongoing crisis of global wealth inequality, why are so many people unaware of their existence, and why doesn’t Forbes ever mention them in their annual list of the world’s wealthiest people?

I don’t always enjoy writing about these topics, the thousands of deaths (and growing) at the hands of police in the last few years, the abuse of authority, the blue privilege, the police state in general; so it was a pleasure to hear that my favorite superhero, The Dark Knight Batman takes on police state topics in the latest issue of the Batman Comic by writer Scott Snyder.

PIERRE, S.D. – The first military flying operations took to the air Friday at an enormous bomber training area over the northern Plains that was approved this spring after years of consideration.
The expansion of the Powder River Training Complex over the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming roughly quadruples the training airspace to span nearly 35,000 square miles, making it the largest over the continental U.S. Flight operations began after the Federal Aviation Administration finished mapping work on the expanded airspace, a spokeswoman for the 28th Bomb Wing at Ellsworth Air Force Base said in an email.

Joshua challenged the people: “choose you this day whom ye will serve.” (Joshua 24:15). Today, government is demanding a similar choice. Today the world assumes that the church is the church because it is registered with, and defined by, the State. Continue reading “The Truth About Church Incorporation”

To comply with the 2005 Real ID Act, which the U.S. government has been slowly implementing for the past decade, citizens in a number of different U.S. states will now be forced to obtain a passport if they want to board an airplane — even for domestic flights.
The Department of Homeland Security and representatives with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection have declined to comment on why certain states have been singled out, but starting in 2016, residents of New York, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and American Samoa will need a passport to fly domestically. All other states will still be able to use their state-issued driver’s licenses and IDs — for now, at least. Continue reading “If You Live in One of These States You’ll Soon Need a Passport for Domestic Flights”
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey announced Friday evening that a SWAT team has a person in custody suspected in the I-10 freeway shooting spree in Phoenix. The suspect is connected to the first four shootings, officials said.
In a tweet, Governor Ducey said, “We got him!” and that the individual was “apprehended moments ago.”
The arrest was made by the Arizona Department of Public Safety SWAT team (DPS). Continue reading “Suspect in Arizona freeway shootings captured – governor”
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — A sheriff’s deputy in a helicopter shot at a suspected home invasion robber who led authorities on a 100-mph chase Friday, and the suspect died on a Southern California freeway, authorities said.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether the man had been wounded by gunfire or died from other injuries, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputy Deon Filer said.
Deputies began pursuing the robbery suspect from the Fontana area east of Los Angeles around midday, authorities said. Continue reading “California deputy shoots at wrong-way driver from helicopter”

Fresno County, CA — A cellphone video surfaced this week showing two Fresno cops, breaking into a locked yard and killing a family dog.
Police were apparently responding to a call from a neighbor about a crying baby when they broke through the family’s fence and entered their backyard. As they walked into the back yard, they completely ignored the “Beware of Dog” sign and the “Guard dog on duty” sign, and they ignored the dog himself.

In 2005 then-Governor of Arizona Janet Napolitano famously said that building a wall on the southern border of the United States to stem the flow of illegal immigration would be ineffective. “You show me a 50-foot wall and I’ll show you a 51-foot ladder at the border. That’s the way the border works,” she argued.
That deep seeded focus on domestic security was apparently enough for President Obama to eventually appoint her as head of the Department of Homeland Security, overseeing the safety of the American people.

Here’s a blatant example of how U.S. megacorporations are above the law (or can buy it).
It’s also an example of the mental disconnect our society has about murder and how the average person’s buttons get so easily pushed to serve government agendas by the mainstream media. Continue reading “Kill 174 People? You’re a Mass Murderer; GM Kills 174 People, Pays a Fine, Keeps Making Cars”

Barack Obama has nominated Eric Fanning to become the next secretary of the Army – paving the way for the first openly gay leader of a military service branch in US history.
In an historic move, the White House said it was naming Mr Fanning, who previously serving as acting Army undersecretary and chief of staff to Defence Secretary Ash Carter.
A specialist on national security issues for more than 24 years, Mr Fanning must still be confirmed by the Senate, Reuters said. Continue reading “Obama nomination would be first openly gay leader of military branch in US history”
A rare cloud formation shone like a pink jellyfish over Costa Rica earlier this week wowing spectators.
The clouds could be seen from the capital San José and west towards the Pacific Ocean.
Marcelo Morales Betancohur, a resident of Escazu, was celebrating Costa Rica’s Independence Day when he spotted the cloud, took a photo and posted it on Instagram. He included the hashtag #ElcieloExtraño, meaning “strange sky.” Continue reading “Photo of shocking “strange skies” over Costa Rica”
FORT WORTH, Texas — Evidence reviewed by The Associated Press confirms that police bullets hit bikers in the deadly shootout involving two rival motorcycle clubs that clashed last spring outside a Waco restaurant, though it isn’t clear whether those rifle shots caused any of the nine fatalities.
The AP reviewed more than 8,800 pages of evidence, including police reports, dash-cam video, photos and audio interviews related to the May 17 confrontation. The evidence offers the best insight yet into how the shootout unfolded. Four months later, authorities have released little information about what sparked the fight or how the gunfire played out, and no one has been charged with any of the deaths.

In a mixed decision, a federal appeals court on Friday struck down as unconstitutional parts of a gun-control law in the nation’s capital that imposed strict registration requirements on handguns and long guns.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 that the city cannot ban gun owners from registering more than one pistol per month or require owners to re-register a gun every three years. The court also invalidated requirements that owners make a gun available for inspection and pass a test about firearms laws. Continue reading “Appeals Court Quashes Some District of Columbia Gun Laws”
