Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist

Austin, TX — In case after infuriating case, the Free Thought Project has reported on instances of horrifying rights violations all stemming from a police officer claiming to smell a plant. We have seen both women and men sodomized and raped — often times in public — as cops search for this smell. We have seen entire families held hostage, women and children beaten up, rampant sexual assault, and all of it stemming from a plant smell. The following incident is one of those cases and the taxpayers are about to pay dearly for it.  Continue reading “Cop Smells Weed, Walks Up to Innocent Man, Beats, Falsely Arrests Him”

A fundamental change is underway in stock market investing, and the spin-off effects are poised to dramatically impact corporate America.

In the past, individuals and large institutions mostly invested in actively managed mutual funds, such as Fidelity, in which fund managers pick stocks with the aim of beating the market. But since the financial crisis of 2008, investors have shifted to index funds, which replicate established stock indices, such as the S&P 500.  Continue reading “These three firms own corporate America”

The recent arrests of two 6-year-old students in Orlando, which prompted outrage and the firing of the officer who restrained one child’s hands with flex cuffs, mirrors a persistent problem confronting law enforcement and schools with thousands of children arrested annually and treated like “mini-adults,” experts said.

Stunning annual crime statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) show that between 2013 and 2017 (the most recent year for which complete data is available), at least 26,966 children under the age of 10 were arrested in the United States. And the numbers skyrocket for children between the ages of 10 to 12 with 228,017 arrested during the same five-year time span, according to the data.

Impeachment can be profitable, Republicans, Democrats and President Trump found this week.

“We’re going to raise a tremendous amount of money off this,” Harlan Hill, a Trump campaign surrogate and re-election advisory board member, told The Post. “Anytime there is some sort of dustup like this, whether it’s Mueller or anything else, we have a huge surge of donations. We’re kicking the Democrats’ ass.”  Continue reading “Impeachment unites Trump and Dems on one thing: collecting campaign cash”
