Budget pressures at the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation Division are cutting the number of investigators there to the lowest level in four decades, and officials say the changes are forcing the division to scale back its fight of financial crime.

It will also hurt government coffers, they add, since IRS probes can bring in hefty fines.

The division investigates a variety of financial misconduct, from tax fraud and money laundering to identity theft, narcotics and counter-terrorism. Federal prosecutors around the country often seek help for cases involving money issues.   Continue reading “Exclusive: IRS enforcement agent numbers could drop to lowest levels since 1970s”

Robo Brain – a large-scale computational system that learns from publicly available Internet resources – is currently downloading and processing about 1 billion images, 120,000 YouTube videos, and 100 million how-to documents and appliance manuals. The information is being translated and stored in a robot-friendly format that robots will be able to draw on when they need it.

To serve as helpers in our homes, offices and factories, robots will need to understand how the world works and how the humans around them behave. Robotics researchers have been teaching them these things one at a time: How to find your keys, pour a drink, put away dishes, and when not to interrupt two people having a conversation. This will all come in one package with Robo Brain.   Continue reading “‘Robo Brain’ will teach robots everything from the Internet”

A devastating new discovery has occurred in Searcy, Arkansas.

Life, it seems, is not fair.

The whistle has been blown.  This earth-shattering news was discovered by an atheist who was upset when a local business offered a discount to people who bring in a church bulletin.

Finally, a little-known aspect of the crisis in Ukraine is receiving some international attention.  On July 28, the California-based Oakland Institute released a report revealing that the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), under terms of their $17 billion loan to Ukraine, would open that country to genetically-modified (GM) crops and genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture.  The report is entitled “Walking on the West Side: the World Bank and the IMF in the Ukraine Conflict.” [1]   Continue reading “Monsanto and Ukraine”

The fake James Foley beheading video was so badly conceived, in order to try to maintain it’s credibility a little longer, government shills started an online social media campaign in an effort to keep Americans from watching it. But it didn’t work.   Continue reading “The Fake James Foley Beheading Video: MSM Admits Its Fake – Tries to Salvage What They Can”

Federal authorities have failed to protect pipeline rights-of-way from becoming pathways for illegal immigration and cartel activity that endangers pipeline inspectors, oilfield workers and ranchers, a top state regulator charged Friday.

Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter sent a letter Friday to U.S. Customs and Border Protection following recent reports that pipeline easements have become a corridor of choice for smugglers and their clients.    Continue reading “Feds aren’t protecting pipelines from cartels, Texas regulator says”

Are police officers getting worse or is this apparent increase in excessive force nothing more than a reflection of the increase in unofficial documentation (read: cameras) and public scrutiny? What we do know is that as crime has gone down, police forces have escalated their acquisitions of military gear and weapons. With options for lethal and less-lethal force continually expanding, it seems that deployment of force in excess of what the situation requires has become the new normal, but it’s tough to find hard data that backs up these impressions.     Continue reading “Federal Law Ordering US Attorney General To Gather Data On Police Excessive Force Has Been Ignored For 20 Years”

I have been writing about the CDC research scientist who may be about to step out of the shadows and reveal himself—

He was, a decade ago, part of the CDC team who suppressed data showing a clear connection between the MMR vaccine and autism.

If he comes clean now, he will expose deep crimes of the CDC. He will torpedo the ship.

To succeed, he has to be strong. He has had ten years to consider how to go public.

Food Freedom USA

On the common ground of my forefathers I will stand. And stand firmly I will!

As the culture of America continues to change toward a new order, we witness the incremental eradication of our basic God given rights to live our lives accordingly and freely. Everywhere you turn, especially in the food groups, there is talk of ‘community’, consensus, change, and interdependence, it is truly Orwellian. The transformation of the United States into a Communist country is nearly complete. The founding documents of our once beloved America come under attack and are ridiculed. Many ‘foodies’ have usurped and bastardized the terms food freedom and liberty, all the while pressuring us with their Anarcho-Communist ideals. Their Marxist opinions take precedence over our basic God given rights guaranteed by our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and The Declaration of Independence.      Continue reading “Preserving Food Freedom”

The British jihadist suspected of murdering American journalist James Foley has been identified, the Sunday Times reports. Government sources said that security agencies MI5 and MI6 have worked out the identity of the masked fighter, who is said to be known as “Jihadi John” to fellow Islamists, although they have so far declined to give the man’s identity.

Despite their reluctance to announce the killer’s identity, one key suspect is 23-year-old Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, who previously lived with his family in their £1 million home in London’s wealthy Maida Vale district.   Continue reading “‘Jihadi John’ Lookalike Sparks Speculation over Identity as Foley Killer Reportedly Identified”
