U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was known for the exacting style of his opinions, the way he labored over each and every word. His hotel room the night of his death on Feb. 13 in Texas reflected this obsession with detail. According to a sheriff’s report obtained by The Washington Post this week, he was lying in bed with his arms at his side and his bed covers smooth. Nearby was his suitcase, which was open and full of neatly folded clothes.   Continue reading “Questions raised by Justice Scalia’s unplugged breathing machine”

At the very onset of what would become the Soviet Empire, Vladimir Lenin decreed the creation of a national internal army called the “Cheka.” The Cheka were handed very broad police powers and tasked with the disruption and elimination of any form of dissent within the communist system. Lenin launched what would later be known as the “Red Terror”, in which nearly every Russian population center had an established Cheka office of operations using surveillance, infiltration, nighttime raids, imprisonment, torture and execution to silence opposition to the authority of the state.   Continue reading “A Warning To The Feds On Incremental Prosecutions Of The Liberty Movement”

WEB Notes: Israel continually comes up with the most ridiculous claims and what is even more ridiculous is the people who buy the lie. For 10-15 years now Israel has said Iran was a day away from nuking Israel. Yet it has never happened, though Iran has had facilities blow up, computer systems infected with virus’ and the list goes on. So who is attacking who? Now they say Iran is building up International terror cells… Iran is no saint that is for certain, but it is our own government who is funding terrorists and causing the destabilization of Syria and the rest of the middle east. How anyone cannot see that with their own two eyes is beyond me. The point here is to see through the lies, Iran is going to be attacked it will happen and it is the plan of the globalists.

Several former U.S. officials have in recent years joined the ranks of lawyers, consultants and lobbyists that have emerged as key brokers in trying to get Chinese acquisitions or investments in U.S. companies approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which scrutinizes deals for national security concerns.   Continue reading “The Washington insiders who work to get Chinese deals approved”

Part of the training that LEOs (that acronym can reference law enforcement officers, or, as I call them, legally entitled to oppress) receive is in how to lie and get away with it.

These “legal” lies can include telling a suspect that police have evidence they don’t  have, or have obtained confessions they have not obtained, or even posing as a prisoner in a jail cell who is simply “shooting the breeze” with a fellow prisoner with the express purpose of obtaining evidence of a crime.   Continue reading “Cops are trained liars, and courts have sanctioned the practice”
