Beware of Photog Christopher Sadowski, Notorious Copyright Troll

I want to bring attention to this guy.  He’s a photographer from New Jersey.  He licenses photos to the New York Post and news organizations in Northern New Jersey.  He’s also a notorious copyright troll that has filed multiple lawsuits using different lawyers including Mathew Higbee.  Don’t use this guy’s stuff no matter what kind of photo it is.  Even if it’s a picture of a car that is double parked, Sadowski will come after you for it with an outrageous amount.    Continue reading “Portfolio of a petty crime operation that has gone unchecked for far too long and harmed a lot of good people”

Christopher Sadowski is, his lawyers submit, a most accomplished photographer of… Hitler admirer Heath Campbell? The New York-based shooter is threatening to sue the website Something Awful over a photo of the nazi spotted in its forums unless they pay $6750.    Continue reading “Something Awful receives legal threat over hotlinked image of Hitler fan”

Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist

Owensboro, KY — Time and again, as the Free Thought Project has consistently reported, police officers will enter the home of an innocent person and kill them. As is the case most of the time, the officers aren’t charged despite gross negligence leading up to the innocent homeowner’s death. Or, if the homeowner does successfully defend themselves, they are often charged. In rare instances, however, homeowners defend themselves against the officers who come onto their property with no warrant or mistakenly and they are deemed justified in doing so.   Continue reading “No Charges for Grandpa Who Shot an Officer on His Property to Protect His Grandkids”

Yahoo News

The stock market took a tumble Wednesday amid fears surrounding global growth, rising interest rates, and trade disputes.

The Dow closed down 831.83 points, the third-largest one-day point drop in its history.

The biggest one-day point drop came earlier this year. On February 5, the Dow fell 1,175.21 points. The previous holder of that dubious honor was September 29, 2008, when the Dow dropped 777.68 points after the first version of the TARP bailout program failed in Congress.     Continue reading “Here are the biggest one-day point drops in the Dow’s history”

With all of the ridiculous new regulations, coddling, and societal mores that seem to be the norm these days, it’s a miracle those of us over 30 survived our childhoods.

Here’s the problem with all of this babying: it creates a society of weenies.

There won’t be more more rebels because this generation has been frightened into submission and apathy through a deliberately orchestrated culture of fear. No one will have faced adventure and lived to greatly embroider the story.   Continue reading “The Last Rebels: 25 Things We Did as Kids That Would Get Someone Arrested Today”

A New York state man built a 200-pound bomb in his basement and planned to detonate it in Washington on Election Day, according to federal authorities who arrested him.

Paul Rosenfeld, 56, of Tappan, intended to kill himself in the explosion and draw attention to his political beliefs, prosecutors said. They said Rosenfeld is a proponent of “sortition,” an ancient political system in which government officials are randomly selected.   Continue reading “New York Man Built 200-Pound Bomb To Detonate On Election Day: Feds”

Middle East Monitor

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said yesterday that “Israel is everything we want the entire Middle East to look like going forward” and that US-Israel relations are “stronger than ever”.

Speaking at an award ceremony held by the Jewish Institute for National Security of America in Washington DC, Pompeo hailed Israel as “democratic and prosperous”, adding “it desires peace, it is a home to a free press and a thriving economy,” Arutz Sheva reported.   Continue reading “US’ Pompeo: ‘We want the whole Middle East to look like Israel’”

Activist Post – by Aaron Kesel

Another Google document has found its way into the public domain, this time through Breitbart. The news publication reports that an 85-page briefing entitled “The Good Censor,” advises tech companies to “police tone instead of content” and to not “take sides” when censoring users.

This must be why Activist Post remains censored on YouTube and the wrongful suspension still hasn’t been removed, along with other accounts that were removed, or further why Iran has had 39 YouTube channels deleted. It must be Google’s “new position as ‘moderators in chief.’” (page 70)   Continue reading “Leaked Google Document Advises to “Police Tone Instead of Content” in the “Shift Towards Censorship””

Walmart has plenty of haters. But for many consumers, Walmart’s prices just can’t be beat. You can’t afford to be choosey when you’re on a tight budget.

If price is not so much of a concern for you, what if you discovered that Walmart wants your personal data? And not just data about your shopping behavior, which we already give hand-over-fist to Amazon in the name of fast shipping.  Continue reading “Walmart just made an announcement that may make you never want to shop there again”
