In a closed hearing Thursday, the Senate Intelligence Committee voted 11-3 to declassify portions of a CIA report detailing post-9/11 interrogation tactics.

The lawmakers sent their request to the White House to declassify more than 500 pages of a 6,200-page report, including an executive summary, findings, and conclusions about an interrogation program involving more than 100 detainees.   Continue reading “Senate Votes to Declassify Report on CIA Interrogations”

Years ago I discovered to my astonishment, anger and remorse that our government is collecting income tax devoid of legal authority. Therefore, I have publicly refused to file an income tax return for the past 12 years. If brought before a jury of my peers I will rely upon the following evidence.

1. Mens Rea, or “guilty mind,” is a central feature of criminal law. Criminal liability generally requires not only causing a prohibited harm or evil . . . but also a particular state of mind, an act done with bad purpose or evil intent. Therefore, it is essential to substantiate my intent for not filing, which is to:   Continue reading “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt”

The former acting director of the CIA, in his first public testimony on Benghazi, confirmed that he ignored guidance from the top CIA officer on the ground in favor of reporting from analysts far removed from the scene, in shaping the flawed “talking points” which said the attack sprung from a protest.

Mike Morell, who served as both deputy and acting director of the agency, is under increasing scrutiny over his role in forming the administration’s public narrative about the attack — a narrative which inaccurately blamed a protest from the outset. Morell is accused of heavily editing the so-called “talking points,” which were the basis for then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s controversial comments on several Sunday shows after the attacks that also blamed a protest.    Continue reading “Ex-CIA chief confirms he ignored Benghazi guidance from top officer on ground”

Our friends and protectors at the Environmental Deception Protection Agency are so adamant about protecting us from air pollution that they are conducting dangerous experiments on human beings, some of them children.

Just to emphasize the importance of your soon-to-be-due carbon taxes, the EPA exposed vulnerable members of our population to deadly pollutants: the elderly, people with chronic health problems, and children.  What’s more – they never warned those participating in the study that the toxins they would be exposed to carried with them the risk of cancer and death.   Continue reading “The EPA Furthers the Carbon Tax Agenda with Deadly Human Experiments”

A rash of earthquakes within the last week along a section of the Earth infamous for seismic activity is causing concern that more tremors will soon occur near the ominously named “Ring of Fire.”

Experts don’t think that a series of quakes in recent days are related to one another, but all seem to agree that three major incidents in both North and South America share at least one common bond: each quake and their subsequent aftershocks were located along the circum-Pacific seismic belt, or “Ring of Fire,” where scientists with the United States Geological Survey say 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes occur.   Continue reading “‘Ring of Fire’ fears renewed following earthquakes in California, Chile and Panama”

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Attorneys for a serial killer have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his execution until the state releases information about who supplied its new lethal injection drug stock.

A politician honored for his gun control efforts is arrested for attempted arms smuggling. He held press conferences denouncing violent video games and helped pass legislation in California prohibiting sales of such games to minors. And yet, secretly, he was living the life of a Grand Theft Auto character.

The downfall of Calif. State Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco should be an utterly captivating, fascinating story, and the national media should be sinking its teeth into the details. I joked when Yee was first arrested about how he is destined to be parodied in Grand Theft Auto.   Continue reading “The California Senator that lived the life of a Grand Theft Auto character”
