HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii could become the first state in the United States to enter gun owners into an FBI database that will automatically notify police if an island resident is arrested anywhere else in the country.

Most people entered in the “Rap Back” database elsewhere in the U.S. are those in “positions of trust,” such as school teachers and bus drivers, said Stephen Fischer of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division. Hawaii could be the first state to add gun owners.   Continue reading “Hawaii could be first to put gun owners in federal database”

Houston NORML – by Jason Miller

I was walking out of the Fry’s Electronics on the North Freeway in Harris County on a Friday afternoon when I noticed someone near my vehicle. I assumed it was some fans taking selfies. People often approach me and ask to take a photo or a selfie of the Houston NORML Escalade and I always give them the “ok” along with some educational literature. As I get closer, I notice two police officers peering into the windows. They had pulled up in a civilian vehicle and parked it directly behind me to block me in.   Continue reading “Deputy Makes Embarrassing Mistake After Profiling Marijuana Activist”

The central bank accepted an application from Industrial and Commerce Bank of China Ltd. (IDCBY) (ICBC), along with China Investment Corporation and Central Huijin Investment, to become bank holding companies by purchasing up to an 80% stake in New York-based Bank of East Asia U.S.A.   Continue reading “Flashback 2012: Three Chinese banks expanding in U.S.”

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards is set to sign a bill into law that would classify any violent attack on police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel a hate crime. According to The Root, the so-called Blue Lives Matter bill is the first of its kind.

State Representative Lance Harris authored the bill after Texas sheriff’s deputy Darren Goforth was shot and killed last year. “It looked like it was strictly done because someone didn’t like police officers, like a hate crime,” Harris told CNN.   Continue reading ““Blue Lives Matter” Bill Making Attacks on Police Officers a Hate Crime Set to Pass in Louisiana”

LAS VEGAS (INTELLIHUB) — There are many subterranean passages beneath the city of Vegas that are hidden from the indigenous residents and tourists. In fact, one has to know exactly what to look for when accessing key areas of the underground which have been rumored to house people and possibly even security or military personnel.

Two urban explorers, named Andrew Wonder and urban historian Steve Duncan, went deep into the “Undercity” and captured their experiences on film. And what they found may shock you.   Continue reading “An entire subterranean underworld exists below Vegas”

As you begin to understand world governments don’t have your best interests in mind — that enemies of the State could more aptly be called enemies of the globe’s corporate and banking elite — power comes sharply into focus. Those who actually hold the power control the world’s economies, and it’s clear the fates of over 7.4 billion souls now inhabiting the planet are, at best, the least of their concern.   Continue reading “The Illuminati Were Amateurs — The Facts Show These Five Families Rule the World”

The cautionary tale that is the rather spectacular collapse of Venezuela continues. Were you aware that Venezuela banned guns for private citizens a mere four years ago, in 2012? Although the country was already in trouble, it seems like that was the beginning of the end.

Under the reign of Hugo Chavez, the government introduced a law that banned personal purchases of firearms and ammunition in an attempt to “improve security and cut crime”. The law was designed to keep guns in the hands of only police, military, and some security companies.   Continue reading “Did You Know That Venezuela Banned Guns for Private Citizens Only 4 Years Ago?”

Has Communist Ideology Overtaken America? Education is crucial. Today I want to share two very interesting lists with you, and rather than adding an extensive amount of my commentary, I want to give you the chance to examine the facts for yourself. It is my opinion that many communist goals have already been accomplished. I also believe that advancement has been made in other areas.  But, you owe it to yourself to do your own research. I believe not only in the freedom of speech, but also in the responsibility of free thought. So please don’t take my word for it. Examine the facts for yourself.   Continue reading “We Were Warned in 1963: Has Communist Ideology Overtaken America?”

The Girl Scouts of America (GSA) is the latest organization to cave to pressure from the LGBTIQA lobby, adapting its policies to extend membership to boys who identify as girls.

Penny Nance from Concerned Women for America called the decision “just one more slap in the face to Christian parents.”   Continue reading “Girl Scouts Welcome Cross-Dressing Boys into their Ranks”

American Republicans who support Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential bid are knowingly backing “the meanest, whitest, most vile bigot possible” because they fear losing majority status.

That’s according to The Guardian’s Steven Thrasher, who contends that minorities will never prosper in the United States until 2043 “when this white supremacist nation becomes mostly non-white.”   Continue reading “Liberal columnist heralds coming ‘revolution’ as ‘dying white majority’ fades”

The confusion that exists in today’s mercurial society is a direct result of not understanding the nature of individual human rights. All valid authority is based upon willing consent. The cornerstone of human being personhood is the inalienable right of self-defense. This indisputable principle is under attack on all fronts by the “Politically Correct” authoritarians who see the individual as an inconvenient impediment to their bizarre vision of a social order based upon compelled obedience to a global agenda of destructive myths and false promises of a utopian world.   Continue reading “Gun Self-Defense is a Natural Right”

One evening in the late 1960s (I was then in high school), my father and I were watching television. The local station announced that, later that week, it would show the winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1947, Gentleman’s Agreement.

My father and I awaited the film with anticipation. After all, we equated “Best Picture” Oscars with superior entertainment—films like All about Eve, On the Waterfront,Lawrence of Arabia, and A Man for All Seasons.   Continue reading “1948: Harry Truman, The Nakba, And The Mystery Of The “Best Picture” Oscar”

At the heart of a free and prosperous society is the principle of private property ownership. Without private property, the centralization and corrupting influence of power grows, as the freedom of the individual dissipates. Democratic socialism is a great example of the dissolution of private property, under which, the demands of the majority override those of the individual. The majority claims they have a “right” to the goods and services (property) of individuals and businesses. They then use the government as a vehicle of force to conscript property and take it.   Continue reading “After imprisoning Oregon ranchers, Obama to sign an executive order legalizing BLM tyranny to take over any land it wants”

According to a report by Israel’s Channel 10, Israeli Prime Benjamin Netanyahu and Avigdor Lieberman, the newly-appointed minister of military affairs, have reached an agreement on the measure.

According to the measure, the opinion of as few as two judges sitting on a panel — and not the majority of them — would suffice to convict a Palestinian of such an attack.   Continue reading “Israel mulls legalizing execution of Palestinians: Report”

Bayer AG, a company that knowingly infected thousands of children with HIV, has officially announced its offer to purchase agrichemical giant Monsanto. Uniting two of the world’s most hated companies, the deal could potentially be a boon for Monsanto, whose sales have tanked significantly recently as the global market continues to scoff at its pesticide, herbicide, and genetically-engineered seed empire.

Bayer’s announcement seems impeccably timed as thousands of people took to the streets in more than 40 countries around the world on Saturday in the 14th annual protest against the American multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology giant Monsanto and against genetically modified (GMO) products.   Continue reading “It’s Official — Bayer Announces $62 Billion Bid for Monsanto — Creating a Mega-Chemical Empire”
