As smart meters make their way across the United States, a growing number of people are vocalizing concerns about the devices and consumer privacy rights. The Fourth Amendment was designed to protect Americans from government surveillance and other forms of government overreach. Now, a federal court in Illinois has ruled that right is negotiable — provided it is in the government’s best interest.

Even after officials ruled that smart meters are a form of government search and seizure, federal courts say that the information gathered by smart meters (and consequently, city-run utilities companies) is “reasonable,” and therefore not in violation of the Fourth Amendment.   Continue reading “Court rules that your 4th amendment right to privacy, especially when it comes to smart meters, is a “privilege””

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. (Nov. 6, 2018) –  Voters in eight Oregon counties have passed ballot measures that set the stage to create what supporters call “gun rights sanctuary” counties.

Second Amendment Preservation Ordinances on the ballot passed in 8 of 10 counties today. They create a mechanism to “guarantee that no county funds will be used to enforce gun laws that are believed to violate the Second Amendment, including registration rules and limitations on semi-automatic weapons and ammunition,” according to a report in the News-Review of Douglas County.   Continue reading “Gun Rights Sanctuary Counties: Voters in Oregon Set Foundation for Eight”

The supervisor of elections in Florida’s heavily Democratic Palm Beach County said Sunday that she did not believe her department would meet a Thursday deadline to complete recounts in the Sunshine State’s historically tight gubernatorial and Senate races, threatening to further confuse an increasingly chaotic and politically fraught process.

The supervisor, Susan Bucher, told reporters that she did not expect to meet the deadline due to aging equipment. Florida Department of State spokeswoman Sarah Revell told Fox News that under state law, if a county does not submit their results by the deadline, then the results on file at the time take their place. Revell added that Florida’s Secretary of State has no authority to grant extensions.   Continue reading “Nation watches as Sunshine State descends into election recount, lawsuit madness”

With the welcome departure of war mongering UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, the Trump Administration’s neocon tag team of death and destruction – Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor (NSA), John Bolton – have enthusiastically taken up where the repellent Haley has left off.  It is highly doubtful that the former Ambassador will meekly return from under the rock in which she crawled, but will reappear possibly as a primary challenger to her former boss in 2020, and, most certainly, as a Presidential contender in 2024.   Continue reading “Mike Pompeo and John Bolton: Trump’s Tag Team of Death and Destruction!”

The news outlets are making much ado over the fact that a list of celebrities had to evacuate their homes in Malibu due to a wildfire and that some of those homes are lost. But fires are raging in many other areas where there aren’t any movies stars, and regular people like you and me are barely escaping with their lives. And tragically, some are not so lucky.

When an ambulance evacuating critical patients became stranded in the inferno, things looked grim. The crew said goodbye to their families and then sprung into action. Their stories follow.   Continue reading “Stranded California Ambulance Crew Survived the Wildfire (and Saved Their Patients) by Fighting It Themselves”

Chris Bush provoked outrage online when he said people should fill feeders, normally used by hunters to lure deer, with “pinto beans” and place them around the Texas border with Mexico. The former Bellaire and Westfield Fire Department employee appeared to be suggesting that people crossing the border could then be hunted like game.   Continue reading “Firefighter sacked over inflammatory ‘joke’ about hunting migrants on US border”

Del Bigtree, founder of Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), teamed up with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take on the U.S. government by filing suit against the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for vaccine safety violations — and they won. This is big news for all concerned with the topic of vaccine safety. It turns out the federal agency has been neglecting their vaccine safety obligations for over 30 years. The lawsuit brought by RFK Jr. is evidence that “vaccine safety” as we know it is nothing more than a sham.  Continue reading “RFK Jr. wins case against U.S. government for vaccine safety violations”

As discussions crop up of a Third World War possibly arising from tensions in the Middle East or Ukraine, it is apt to examine the First World War, whose 100th anniversary falls this year. America’s entanglement in that war, like so many others, was engineered through a false flag.   Continue reading “The Lusitania, Woodrow Wilson, and the Deceptions that Dragged America into World War I”
