The U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the appeal of a New Jersey gun owner in Drake v. Jerejian, means the state may continue to deny most residents permits to carry a handgun outside their homes. The high court’s decision to deny a hearing, issued without comment Monday, apparently allows other states to also require, as New Jersey law does, the demonstration of a “justifiable need” to carry a firearm outside the home before a permit is issued. Critics say the law grants officials virtually unlimited discretion over a citizen’s right to bear arms. New Jersey state Senator Jeff Van Drew, who wants to amend the law, says the permits are rarely granted.   Continue reading “High Court Leaves Second Amendment in Limbo”

Albuquerque Journal – by Mike Gallagher, April 11, 2014

Talks between the city and the Department of Justice begin today on writing a court-enforceable consent decree that would change the way the Albuquerque Police Department operates.

Both federal and city officials expressed optimism, but Justice Department lawyers left no doubt about one thing: If they can’t reach an agreement, they are prepared to file a federal lawsuit to stop what they found during a 16-month investigation was a pattern and practice by APD of excessive and deadly force.   Continue reading “Scathing report on APD use of force”

More and more, we are seeing citizens being invited to “participate” in various forms of meetings, councils, or boards to “help determine” public policy in one field or another. They are supposedly being included to get ”input” from the public to help officials make final decisions on taxes, education, community growth or whatever the particular subject matter might be.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, surface appearances are often deceiving.   Continue reading “The Delphi Technique: Let’s Stop Being Manipulated!”

A U.S. Army base outside San Antonio may have doubled as a secret weapons depot for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) going back to the height of the Cold War.

Allen Thomson, who worked for the CIA as an analyst from 1972 to 1985, says in a report (pdf) he compiled that the spy agency used Camp Stanley, located in Boerne, Texas, for decades to store guns, explosives and other munitions.   Continue reading “Is the CIA Storing Weapons in Texas?”

Prevent Disease – by John Summerly

Besides being an effective poison to the human metabolism, it seems Pepsi and Coca-Cola have another popular function in other parts of the world. One of India’s leading voluntary agencies, the Center for Science and Environment (CSE) said that soft drinks manufactured in India, including those carrying the Pepsi and Coca-Cola brand names, contain unacceptably high levels of pesticide residues and consequently many farmers have used the beverages to combat pests because of low costs compared to conventional pesticide brands.   Continue reading “Pepsi and Coca-Cola Used As Pesticide In India Because They’re Cheap and Get The Job Done”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the nation’s gun culture has gotten “way out of balance” and the U.S. needs to rein in the notion that “anybody can have a gun, anywhere, anytime.”

The former secretary of state and potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said the idea that anyone can have a gun is not in the “best interest of the vast majority of people.” But she said that approach does not conflict with the rights of people to own firearms.   Continue reading “Hillary Clinton: Gun culture ‘way out of balance’”

At ToBeFree, I’ve focused mainly on the Rockefellers, key kingpins in the US, which apparently are secretly worth more than $10 trillion. But the Rothschilds are far more wealthier, and are by many considered the greatest controlling factor worldwide — the kingpins of the world!

In the late ’90s, I attended an event in which Gaylon Ross was lecturing. He laid out the big picture for me that has continued to prove true. In addition to speaking about these two families, he laid out the elite’s plan to create unions within the continents, and then merge all 5 continents into the one-world government which they control.   Continue reading “The Rothschilds, world kingpins, worth $500 trillion!

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Monday night that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has “destroyed his own reputation” with the fatuous claim that the White House email prepping Susan Rice for her post-Benghazi appearance on the Sunday talk shows had nothing to do with Benghazi.

McCain seems a little shocked at the behavior of Carney, whom he and everyone else around town knew, as McCain describes it, as a “pretty straightforward journalist.” Also a pretty good one.   Continue reading “McCain: Jay Carney Has “Destroyed His Own Reputation””

Critical Items for Survival ShelterUS Crow

After reviewing 123survivalplan, a video that is supposed to provide the public with 37 critical food items that are considered ‘must have’ for any prepper, doomsday and survivalist plan. However, it turned out to be a 10 minute long commercial to influence you to pay for it. Yes, we love capitalism but it doesn’t bode well for our sense of patriotism to charge Americans for information about survival. So, in response we will provide our own list.   Continue reading “Critical Items for Survival Shelters”
