Sovereign Man – by Simon Black
In 1873 during the administration of Ulysses S. Grant, the government abolished its income tax.
Aside from a single episode in 1894, there would be no income tax in the United States of America for nearly 40 years. Continue reading “There is no ‘patriotic duty’ to pay more tax”
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Commerce Department is blocking Chinese telecommunications giant ZTE Corp. from importing American components for seven years, accusing the company of misleading U.S. regulators after it settled charges of violating sanctions against North Korea and Iran.
Shenzhen-based ZTE agreed in March 2017 to plead guilty and pay $1.19 billion for illegally shipping telecommunications equipment to North Korea and Iran. ZTE promised to discipline employees involved in the scheme. Continue reading “US bars China’s telecom giant ZTE from buying US components”

A Queens man was busted with more than 70 weapons including shotguns, handguns and rifles, as well as 50,000 rounds of ammunition, in his basement, police said Monday.
Ronald Drabman, 60, was arrested Sunday after an investigation led NYPD cops from Brooklyn to the weapons cache in his basement on 208th Street in Oakland Gardens, authorities said. Drabman has two prior arrests, including for possessing an illegal .357-caliber handgun in 2017, police said. Continue reading “Cache of guns, ammo found in Queens man’s home”
Arthur Firstenberg of the Cellular Phone Task Force in New Mexico:
Today we won a victory in the fight against radiation in New Mexico. The Public Regulation Commission has denied PNM’s application for Smart Meters. “The plan presented in the Application does not provide a net public benefit and it does not promote the public interest,” wrote the Commission. Continue reading “New Mexico stops smart Meters!”
The US, Britain and France trampled international law to launch missiles against Syria, claiming to have “evidence” of the government’s use of chemical weapons. That evidence is based on terrorist lies.
After a week of outrageous tweets and proclamations by POTUS Trump, which included continued accusations that Syria’s president ordered a chemical weapons attack on civilians in Douma, east of Damascus, with Trump using grotesque and juvenile terminology, such as “animal Assad,” the very evening before chemical weapons inspectors of the OPCW were to visit Douma, America and allies launched illegal bombings against Syria. The illegal bombings included 103 missiles, 71 of which Russia states were intercepted. Continue reading “Caught in a Lie, Us & Allies Bomb Syria the Night Before International Inspectors Arrive”

Wonder if he used biodiesel fuel to set himself on fire?
From Fox News: A “green” activist who was a pioneering lawyer for gay and transgender rights — including in the notorious “Boys Don’t Cry” rape murder case — committed suicide by setting himself on fire Saturday morning in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park in a grisly act of protest against the ecological destruction of the Earth. Continue reading “Prominent gay rights lawyer burns himself to death to protest fossil fuel”
The Fifth Column – by Justin King
Sometimes bizarre claims by foreign governments are so shocking they are dismissed and never thought of again. But what happens when the events predicted occur exactly as described?
A stub of an article published by Reuters on March 13, 2018, almost a month before the purported chemical attack in Ghouta, reads: Continue reading “Reuters covered Russian officials predicting staged gas attack and US response before the attack occurred”

At least seven inmates are dead and 17 people are injured after hours-long rioting at a maximum-security prison in South Carolina, according to the state’s corrections authorities.
Several fights broke out among inmates in three housing units at the Lee Correctional Institution about 7:15 p.m. Sunday, and it took authorities more than 7½ hours, until 2:55 a.m. Monday, to secure the prison, officials said.

City councillors voted Wednesday to continue running a pilot program measuring vehicle noise this summer. By the summer of 2019 they hope to have a system that is to noise what photo radar is to speed.
Edmonton bylaw staff are going to use the information they collect this summer to create a method of catching loud vehicles in a sound trap, in the same way lead-footed drivers are caught in a speed trap. Continue reading “Edmonton has photo radar-like device to measure noisy vehicles”
An Indian reservation along one of the most perilous sections of the Mexican border won’t allow National Guard troops to enter its land, which is a notorious smuggling corridor determined by the U.S. government to be a “High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA).” Sources inside the U.S. Border Patrol and other law enforcement agencies working along the Arizona-Mexico border tell Judicial Watch that the tribe, Tohono O’odham Nation, has banned National Guard troops deployed by President Donald Trump to help crack down on a crisis of drug smuggling and illegal crossings along the 2,000-mile southern border. “They told us they don’t want white man on their land,” said a high-level federal official working in the region. “The agency, of course, is going to cater to that.” Continue reading “Indian Tribe Won’t Let National Guard Into “Most Notorious Area for Drugs Entering the County”—Border Patrol: “They Told Us They Don’t Want White Man on Their Land””
TROY, MI – The Troy Police Department has chosen its new crime fighting cat, but will have to wait a couple weeks before the kitty can join the department.
Last month, you’ll recall, Troy PD put out a Twitter challenge: “If we get 10,000 followers by April, we want a police cat.” It reached the goal weeks before April. Continue reading “Meet the police cat chosen for the Troy Police Department’s Feline Unit”
The Organic Prepper – by J.G. Martinez D.
The intention of this article will be to describe how the prices went wild, and what you could expect in a hyperinflation scenario. Perhaps softer, or perhaps worse, that is not possible to know for an amateur like me, not being an economist. But something similar to this is what could be expected in the real world, not in some hypothetical scenario of the theoretical economy..
