SANFORD — The federal government is trying to revoke the license of a gun store owner who refused to allow a federal agent to copy gun records during a compliance inspection last year.

Phil Chabot, who owns Pac N Arms on Emery Street in Sanford, was issued a notice of revocation in February by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The bureau got a warrant to search Chabot’s store in February, and court records indicate he is suspected of making “straw sales” – sales through an intermediary – to a convicted felon who was barred from buying or possessing guns.   Continue reading “Maine gun store may be shut for refusing to let ATF copy records”

A few years ago, we wrote about the bizarre and quixotic effort by Florida businessman Christopher Comins to find any possible way to sue University of Florida student and blogger Matthew Frederick VanVoorhis for his blog post concerning a widely publicized event in which Comins shot two dogs in a field (video link). The story made lots of news at the time, but Comins didn’t go after any of the major media — instead targeting VanVoorhis for a defamation suit. The original blog post is “novelistic” but it’s difficult to see how it’s defamatory. Either way, Comins’ case was shot down on fairly specific procedural grounds: namely that Florida defamation law requires specific notice be given to media properties at least 5 days before a lawsuit is launched. Specifically, the law says:   Continue reading “Court Declares That, Yes, Bloggers Are Media”

Here’s a guy you want to bet on– Li Ka-Shing.

Li is reportedly the richest person in Asia with a net worth well in excess of $30 billion, much of which he made being a shrewd property investor.

Li Ka-Shing was investing in mainland China back in the early 90s, way back before it became the trendy thing to do. Now, Li wants out of China. All of it.   Continue reading “The Richest Man In Asia Is Selling Everything in China”

The EPA is in the process, right this very minute, of seizing control over all private land in the United States. They are following the United Nations blueprint, their minion Gina McCarthy is implementing it, and B. Hussein Obama is facilitating it.

Anywhere in America where it rains or where water collects or through which water moves will now, according to this new rule change they are implementing, be under their control. Not because Congress or the people give them that authority or jurisdiction, but simply because they are seizing the power. It is just another component of the illegitimate tyranny which is oppressing the American people.   Continue reading “New EPA Land Grab, Complete Control Over All Private Land in America”

You’ve probably seen it on milk cartons, yogurt containers and cheese packaging if you live in the U.S. — that little asterisk followed by a claim that the milk used in the product does not contain rBST, rBGH or other artificial growth hormones. But a series of studies conducted by researchers at Harvard University has revealed that, despite this claim, many commercial dairy products still contain high levels of growth hormones, particularly the feminizing hormone estrogen.   Continue reading “Supposedly hormone-free commercial milk found to be full of ‘girlie hormones’ says Mother Jones”

Unprecedented Propaganda Blitz

Over the last year, we’ve documented that – despite all of the mea culpas for horrible Iraq coverage – the U.S. media’s coverage of Ukraine and Syria is just as biased, superficial and pro-war.

Former Associated Press and Newsweek reporter Robert Parry – who broke several of the biggest stories regarding Iran-Contra, and recipient of the George Polk Award for National Reporting in 1984 – writes of U.S. media coverage of the conflict in Ukraine is even worse than Iraq:   Continue reading “Is U.S. Media Coverage of Ukraine and Syria Even WORSE than Its Coverage of Iraq?”

These photos are NOT for the faint of heart or weak of stomach.

Forget all of the talk by the BLM about how they are “saving” animals. During the tense stand-off between Cliven Bundy, backed by his fellow patriots, and the federal government, the rancher’s cattle were massacred by the BLM. These photos were just released and they show what those federal employees did to a bunch of cows who had the misfortune to be grazing on some grass that was in dispute.  The next time you hear some bleeding heart environmentalist talking about the federal government “protecting” the land and “saving” the animals, kindly direct them to this article.   Continue reading “BLM is (ahem) Saving the Tortoises…But Look at What They Did to Bundy’s Cows (Graphic)”

The Russians and the Chinese have been attacking the dollar with the help of nations from Asia and Latin America to Africa and the Mideast. I would describe their efforts as Chinese Water Torture with one blow falling after another steadily undermining the benefits of the US being allowed to print dollars and buy electronics, oil, food, clothes and cars with I Owe You Nothing Federal Reserve Notes.   Continue reading “Bilderberg 2014: Dollar Devaluation On The Agenda?”

Nearly one-third of Americans say an armed revolution might need to occur in the next few years to prevent an escalating war against constitutional liberties.

Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind surveyed 863 US residents randomly and found that 29 percent of those polled believe a revolution isn’t just imminent but imperative.   Continue reading “Nearly 30% of Americans advocate for an Armed Rebellion”

The federal agency that backed down over the weekend in a tense standoff with a Nevada rancher is being accused of leaving a trail of wreckage behind.

Fox News toured the damage — allegedly caused by the Bureau of Land Management — which included holes in water tanks and destroyed water lines and fences. According to family friends, the bureau’s hired “cowboys” also killed two prize bulls.    Continue reading “Feds accused of leaving trail of wreckage after Nevada ranch standoff”

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 16, 2014 – By a 5-2 party-line vote yesterday, a Missouri senate committee passed House Bill 1439 (HB1439), the 2nd Amendment Preservation Act.  This is an “emergency” bill that seeks to nullify virtually every federal gun control measure on the books, “whether past, present or future.” Introduced by Rep. Doug Funderburk (R-St. Charles), it previously passed the state house by a vote of 110-36.   Continue reading “Missouri Senate Panel Approves Nullification of Federal Gun Laws”

Judy Walkman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California , was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Senator Harry Reid’s great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana, in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor.

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory:   Continue reading “How it’s done in Montana”

WASHINGTON – In a move lawmakers and farmers are calling “the biggest land grab in the history of the world,” the Environmental Protection Agency is requesting jurisdiction over all public and private streams in the United States that are “intermittent, seasonal and rain-dependent.”

The EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in late March jointly released a proposed rule, Waters of the United States, in an effort to clarify which streams and wetlands are protected under the Clean Water Act.   Continue reading “‘Biggest land grab in the history of the world’”

A huge pyramid in the middle of nowhere tracking the end of the world on radar. An abstract geometric shape beneath the sky without a human being in sight. It could be the opening scene of an apocalyptic science fiction film, but it’s just the U.S. military going about its business, building vast and other-worldly architectural structures that the civilian world only rarely sees.

The Library of Congress has an extraordinary set of images documenting the Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex in Cavalier County, North Dakota, showing it in various states of construction and completion. And the photos are awesome.   Continue reading “A Pyramid in the Middle of Nowhere Built To Track the End of the World”
