TRENTON — A bill that quietly resurfaced Monday that would dismantle a state law requiring governments, businesses, and individuals to publish legal notices in printed newspapers is being pushed by Gov. Chris Christie, an advocate for municipalities confirmed Tuesday.

The bill (S2855/A4429) is an update of a six-year-old proposal that would allow government agencies and municipalities to instead post notices on websites. The New Jersey Press Association says the bill would deliver a blow to Garden State newspapers.   Continue reading “Christie pushing bill to pull legal ads from newspapers”

China appears to have installed weapons, including anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems, on all seven of the artificial islands it has built in the South China Sea, a U.S. think tank reported, citing new satellite imagery.

The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies said its findings, made available first to Reuters on Wednesday, come despite statements by the Chinese leadership that Beijing has no intention to militarize the islands in the strategic trade route, where territory is claimed by several countries.   Continue reading “China installs weapons systems on artificial islands: U.S. think tank”

Now Arpaio is set to make another announcement in that ongoing probe on Thursday afternoon.   Continue reading “Sheriff Arpaio to reveal ‘newest revelations’ on President Obama’s birth certificate”

Assuming these “rogue-Electors” from the Electoral College get a briefing on the “Russian election-hack” from the CIA, and assuming the Electors have a few working brain cells, and assuming they care, here are the top 11 questions they should ask the CIA presenter:

Questions One through Three (repeated with enthusiasm and fervor): Are you just going to feed us generalities and tell us you can’t detail specifics because that would compromise your methods and personnel? We can read the generalities in the Washington Post, whose owner, Jeff Bezos, chief honcho at Amazon, has a $600 million contract with the CIA to provide cloud computing services, so he and the Post and the CIA are in bed together.   Continue reading “Top 11 “Russian-hack” questions the “rogue-Electors” should ask the CIA”

Mainstream, corporate media and the U.S. political establishment has once again proved the depth of their hypocrisy in thus far unsubstantiated claims Russia directly interfered with the presidential election — because the United States has done so, itself, with multiple countries.

Including Russia.   Continue reading “Media Ignores US Rigging of Russia’s Elections As CIA Struggles to Prove Russian Hacking”

A jury found on Wednesday that Washington state police officers acted lawfully when they shot dead a Mexican farm worker after he threw rocks at them, city officials said.

The finding by a coroner’s inquest jury, which was convened as a fact-finding process for the February 2015 shooting of Antonio Zambrano-Montes in the farming hub of Pasco, follows decisions by federal, state and local prosecutors not to charge the three officers who opened fire.   Continue reading “Washington state coroner’s inquest finds police shooting justified”

Harvard University law professor Larry Lessig, who has been providing free legal counsel to “faithless electors” from the GOP considering voting against Trump, claims that 20 GOP Electoral College voters have contacted him and are seriously considering flipping their vote.  Of course, with 306 Electoral College votes assigned to Trump, it would only take 37 faithless GOP electors to block his presidency and push the election to Congress to decide.  Per Politico:   Continue reading “Harvard Professor Says He’s Rallied Nearly Enough GOP Electors To Block Trump”

And just like that the narrative of Russia hacking the presidential election has escalated to the highest possible level, and has officially jumped the shark.

Moments ago, following a month-long barrage of unsubstantiated stories in the press accusing the Russian government of indirectly hacking the US presidential election, which culminated with last night’s 8,000 word NYT expose, and which followed a schism between the FBI and CIA, in which the former disputed the latter’s “fuzzy and ambiguous” claims that Russia sought to influence the presidential elections, moments ago the NBC News reported that U.S. intelligence officials believe with “a high level of confidence” that Russian President Vladimir Putin became personally involved in the covert Russian campaign to interfere in the U.S. presidential election.   Continue reading “US Accuses Vladimir Putin Of “Personal Involvement” In Election Hack”

A group of Washington State University professors have decried “discourses of free speech” in an open letter to the campus community, suggesting such defenses of the First Amendment hurt “marginalized students.”

The letter, signed by about two dozen scholars at the school, comes about a month and a half after a 20-foot “Trump Wall” was erected there, prompting a heated protest between students.   Continue reading “Washington State professors denounce ‘discourses of free speech’”

As witnessed recently by the Washington Post’s horrifyingly dishonest “journalism” naming 200 independent media websites as pawns of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the dying establishment media is desperately trying to establish a news monopoly by discrediting all competing indy news publishers.

In doing so, the Washington Post (and its writer Timberg) just abandoned any last vestige of journalistic credibility. Now owned by Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com, the Washington Post’s willingness to prostitute its own credibility in an effort to destroy the independent media reveals something startling to the world: They’re desperate. Like a cornered, ravenous animal, the mainstream media is now fighting for its very survival and hoping it can eliminate all news alternatives before the public figures out how deeply they’ve been lying all long.   Continue reading “Globalist war against humanity shifts into high gear: Cars, cash, literature and independent news all targeted for elimination”
