WEB Notes: The US wants war with Iran so bad they are willing to lie about the actions of Iran. Creating false narratives is nothing new, governments have been doing this since the dawn of time to serve global agendas. The US falsely accused Iran of attacking the US which is a lie and then they never corrected their account. This proves they are willing to do anything to get the American public to accept war with Iran.

Some of the greatest illusions are sitting out in the open. They are bypassed for two reasons. People refuse to believe they are illusions, despite the abundant evidence; and the professionals dedicated to upholding the illusions continue their work as if nothing at all has been exposed.

Eighteen officer-involved shootings since September 2015 have not been properly reported to the state attorney general, violating a groundbreaking new Texas law aimed at enhancing transparency in the often-high-profile incidents.
At least 14 Texas law enforcement agencies failed to report 11 instances of an officer shooting a civilian, including 10 deaths, according to an analysis of reports filed through Tuesday. In some of those cases, more than one agency was involved in the incident. Continue reading “State database of officer-involved shootings is missing 18 cases”

Social Security benefits were withheld from an estimated 114,000 individuals of at least 50 years in age as of 2015 in order to repay their student loan debts, a congressional watchdog reported Tuesday.
“An increasing number of older Americans have defaulted on their federal student loan debt,” the Government Accountability Office (GAO) wrote in a blog post. “To recover this debt, the federal government can withhold a portion of Social Security payments — a process known as offsetting.” Continue reading “Social Security Withheld From 114,000 Seniors Because Of Student Loans”

“They said our view was dangerous,” Christian Holm said of social workers for the Cleburne County, Ala., Department of Human Resources (DHR). “We were just trying to follow the Bible as close as we could and speak for Jesus.” Continue reading “Newborn seized after “off-grid” parents refuse social security number”

No, it’s not an Obama-phone. What’s the catch? Well, if you keep your monthly usage to 200 minutes of phone calls, 500 text messages, and 500 MB of data, there is no catch. Never get a monthly bill. No Spanish-American war tax. It really is free. Zero dollars and zero cents. And, you get to use the latest fancy-pants smartphones. Although I am not being paid to write this and Lew is not being paid to run it, I just have to point out to other liberty lovers another great outcome coming out of the somewhat free market.

San Francisco police will suspend the department’s much-criticized collaboration with FBI counterterrorism efforts, police said Wednesday, in an announcement that was celebrated by civil liberties and immigration advocates who have long called for stricter oversight of local participation in federal enforcement.
The announcement comes as San Francisco moves to disengage from the federal government under the Trump administration, especially in regard to the president’s directives on immigration and the treatment of Muslims. Continue reading “SFPD to suspend collaboration with FBI counterterrorism program”
President Trump’s executive order on travel may be generating big protests, but an IRS missive on travel and passports may not go down too well either. More than a year ago, in H.R.22, Congress gave the IRS a new weapon to collect taxes. Tax code Section 7345 is labeled, “Revocation or Denial of Passport in Case of Certain Tax Delinquencies.” The law isn’t limited to criminal tax cases, or even cases where the IRS thinks you are trying to flee. The idea of the law is to use travel as a way to enforce tax collections. It was proposed and rejected in 2012. But by late 2015, Congress passed it and President Obama signed it.

Last week I explained how to use the Reset option to achieve the equivalent of a clean install of Windows 10. You choose whether to keep your files or wipe the disk clean, but the installation process removes all apps and settings.
That’s great if you want to get a fresh start, but what if you want to do a repair installation of Windows without losing those programs and settings? Yes, there’s a way. Although it sounds odd, the solution is to upgrade Windows, using the same edition that’s already installed and choosing the option to keep files, apps, and settings. Continue reading “Windows 10 tip: Repair your Windows 10 installation”

What a week in US foreign policy! First President Trump approves a commando raid in Yemen that was a total fiasco, leaving one US soldier and scores of innocent women and children dead. Then Trump’s Iran-obsessed National Security Advisor, Gen. Michael Flynn, hijacks a White House Press conference to put Iran “on notice” over its legal testing of a missile and the false claim that it is involved in the Yemen war.
But today marks an own-goal hat trick! Today, President Trump’s Ambassador to the United Nations, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley used her first appearance before the UN Security Council to condemn Russia for the renewed violence in eastern Ukraine.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott blocked funding to Austin on Wednesday after its sheriff said the city’s jails would no longer honor most federal immigration detainers.

The illusion on a lot of this civil unrest is broken.
Too many people are aware that billionaire color revolution makers like George Soros are the not-so-hidden hand funding a lot of the highly organized protests we’ve seen over the last few years, from the Mike Brown shooting protests-turned-riots to the violent anti-Trump election protests to the purposeful evolution of Black Lives Matter in a police federalization agenda.

The Bundy Ranch trials are going to begin soon. With that in mind, the political prisoners in the case are seeking to make the Constitution and the Bureau of Land Management the focal point of the case to expose the lawlessness of the agency, as well as the unconstitutional actions of the central government to grab land that the Constitution says it cannot obtain except through the state legislature. Now, congressmen are attempting to shut your mouth from declaring what can be done on unconstitutionally usurped lands by the BLM.
