Gun Watch – by Dean Weingarten

On February 9th, 2016, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments for two Second Amendment cases.  They were Jeff Silvester v. Kamala Harris, in which the District Court found that the California statute that required a waiting period for people to purchase a firearm, even though they already owned a gun and had passed a background check, was unconstitutional.   Continue reading “CA: Oral Arguments Heard on Unconstitutional Waiting Period, Ban on Gun Advertising in Ninth Circuit”

Disarmists use the bandwagon fallacy, (argumentum ad populum) to promote citizen disarmament.  In essence, the non-argument makes the claim; everyone else disarms their population – so we should do the same.  This is a logical fallacy.  Perhaps you remember a parent telling you “if everyone is jumping off a bridge, it does not mean that you should”.

How did most of the rest of the world come to have gun control imposed on them? It was done by force of arms.   Continue reading “How was Gun Control Imposed Upon an Unwilling World?”

Off the Grid News – by Daniel Jennings

Federal agents subjected a farmer to harassment and warrantless searches simply for producing raw milk, but a county sheriff took the farmer’s side and blocked federal agents from the property – and the sheriff is now speaking out.

The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and Department of Justice (DOJ) took the actions four years ago simply because the farmer was providing raw milk to an organic food co-op. The story is receiving renewed coverage because the Indiana sheriff, Elkhart County’s Brad Rogers, wrote a 600-word explanation for a local newspaper as part of his “Ask The Sheriff” series. Off The Grid News previously reported on the dispute.   Continue reading “Showdown: Sheriff Blocks FDA Inspectors From Raw Milk Farm”

When a person dies suddenly, tragically, especially in the “prime of life”, we tend to frame his /her life in those final moments. We can all name such people: John F. Kennedy, Amelia Earhart, the victims of September 11th. These are our heroes. Such a man was Joseph Warren.

Joseph Warren was, undoubtedly, the hero of Bunker Hill and by dying on that hill that June day in 1775; he became the embodiment of the young nation’s sacrifice. The question remains; how do we separate the hero from the man? How did Joseph Warren, physician, find himself on that fated hill just six days after his 34th birthday?   Continue reading “Hero of Bunker Hill Doctor Joseph Warren”

Before long, your pill-pushing doctor will be replaced by a pill-pushing AI toilet that’s tag-teamed with a Terminator-style compliance android or drone.

Why? Because today’s pharma-bribed doctors do almost nothing that can’t be done by a sophisticated drug vending machine owned and operated by the pharmaceutical industry. Modern doctors, in other words, are little more than robotic pill pimps who offer absolutely nothing to patients that can’t be done more cheaply and efficiently by automated systems. (And believe me, Big Pharma can’t wait to take human doctors out of the loop entirely. It’s one less group of people they have to bribe…)   Continue reading “The dark future of medicine: Why your human doctor will be replaced by a pill-pushing robotic toilet that’s tag-teamed with a Google Terminator compliance hunter-killer drone”

Next Gov – by Jack Moore

The Department of Homeland Security wants an extra $1 million next year to develop a public-service campaign designed to increase awareness of online threats. The new initiative will be modeled on the “If You See Something, Say Something” effort rolled out after the Sept. 11 attacks.

The new cyber PSA “will look to raise public and private sector awareness of cybersecurity and to emphasize the importance of cyber awareness and information safekeeping,” according to an explanation of the project in fiscal 2017 budget documents released last week.   Continue reading “See Something Suspicious Online? Homeland Security Wants To Know About It”

Portland, OR — On the surface, it would seem that Black Lives Matter and the militia groups that recently occupied a wildlife refuge in Oregon have very little in common. However, they are very much fighting the same struggle, and they have a common enemy.

The media and the political establishment would like to see these groups divided, because if they unify, they could make a strong and worthy opponent for the current control system.   Continue reading “Black Lives Matter Teams Up with Oregon Occupier Supporters to Fight for Police Accountability”

Zero Hedge – Wall Street Journal

These are strange monetary times, with negative interest rates and central bankers deemed to be masters of the universe. So maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that politicians and central bankers are now waging a war on cash. That’s right, policy makers in Europe and the U.S. want to make it harder for the hoi polloi to hold actual currency.   Continue reading “This Is The Real Reason For The War On Cash”

A new federal lawsuit charges thousands of Kansans seeking to register to vote at DMV locations have been illegally blocked, forced to provide proof of citizenship in violation of federal law.

The suit, brought the American Civil Liberties Union, alleges DMV workers are telling individuals applying or renewing their drivers licenses who want to register they must have proof of citizenship, or are allowed to fill out a registration form and are later told they’re on a suspended voter list.

Truth Dig – by Alexander Reed Kelly

Tech entrepreneur Justin Keller stoked San Francisco’s growing reputation for insensitivity to the misery of the impoverished by telling Mayor Ed Lee in an open letter that he is “outraged” that wealthy workers, who he says “have earned their right to live in the city,” have to see people in pain and despair.

“I am writing today, to voice my concern and outrage over the increasing homeless and drug problem that the city is faced with. I’ve been living in SF for over three years, and without a doubt it is the worst it has ever been,” Keller wrote on his blog. “Every day, on my way to, and from work, I see people sprawled across the sidewalk, tent cities, human feces, and the faces of addiction. The city is becoming a shanty town … Worst of all, it is unsafe. …”   Continue reading “San Francisco ‘Tech Bro’ Complains to Mayor That He Has to See Poor People in Despair”

According to a report coming from The Jerusalem Post, the Israeli Foreign Ministry is openly demanding governments around the world regulate social media platforms in an effort to combat and ultimately ban “anti-Semitism” and “incitement of violence.”

Most readers are no doubt aware of the fact that the organized Jewish community regularly hypes, exaggerates, and even outright fabricates “incitement to violence” against Jews and other minorities in order to advance their tyrannical, anti-free speech agenda. (See here and here, for example.)  Continue reading “Israel Demands Governments Regulate Social Media & Ban “Anti-Semitism””
