The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled recently that police are allowed to search vehicles without a warrant. Meanwhile, the state General Assembly is advancing a bill to grant police authority to arrest those with “secret compartments” in their vehicles.

In a 4 to 2 decision weeks ago, the state Supreme Court decided that police could conduct searches of vehicles based solely on probable cause, or an officer’s reasonable belief that the vehicle contained illegal goods or evidence of a crime. The new standard puts the state in line with the federal law, which allows warrantless searches of vehicles.   Continue reading “Pennsylvania to allow police to search cars without a warrant”

North America is in for a natural light show overhead, as a meteor shower expected over the weekend could turn into a full-on sky storm, affecting countries’ entire skylines. Its intensity could even outdo the Perseid meteor shower.

Stargazers are expecting the spectacle to hit late Friday and last into Sunday morning, just as Earth passes through a stream of debris consisting of up to 1,000 pieces of a comet it shed in the 1800s falling all around, every hour, at speeds of 12 miles per second (19.3kps).   Continue reading “Never-before-seen meteor shower could light up entire North America over weekend”

DETROIT (AP) — When they pull up to a gas station these days, Detroit drivers are looking beyond the price per gallon at a far more threatening concern: carjackers.

The armed auto thieves have become so common here that parts of the bankrupt metropolis are referred to as “Carjack City,” and many motorists fear getting out of their vehicles even for a few moments to fill a tank.   Continue reading “Detroit motorists under siege in ‘Carjack City’”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee has decided how it will respond to a nationwide scarcity of lethal injection drugs for death-row inmates: with the electric chair.

Republican Gov. Bill Haslam signed a bill into law Thursday allowing the state to electrocute death row inmates in the event prisons are unable to obtain the drugs, which have become more and more scarce following a European-led boycott of drug sales for executions.    Continue reading “Tennessee brings back electric chair”

A Vermilion parish woman is calling foul over the sale of her foreclosed home. It’s a sale that could cause potential ethical and legal problems for one elected official in Vermilion Parish.

The Sale

“It just doesn’t seem right,” said Michelle McNabb, who lost her home earlier this year when she fell on hard times, financially. “My note went from $350 to $700 per month, which became impossible.”   Continue reading “Corruption Accusation Over Sheriff’s New Home; Sheriff Defends Purchase”

Using a device called StingRay, police across America are able to intercept calls and texts from cell phones — often without a warrant. The StingRay simulates a cell tower, prompting cellphones within its range to identify themselves and transmit their signals to the police instead of the nearest mobile network operator’s tower.

No one seems to know exactly how many local, state, or federal law enforcement agencies are using Stingray technology, how extensive the monitoring is, or even what information the devices are capable of capturing, such as the contents of phone conversations and text messages.   Continue reading “Police Use “StingRay” Device to Monitor Cellphones”

It is illegal to detain a CIA agent under any circumstances. They may carry any weapon, anywhere, anytime, and request assistance from any law enforcement official with more than certainty.

Why then would this incident be part of a highly classified Russian intelligence report? Could it, perhaps, be that Carnaby, answering directly to former President and CIA Director, George H.W. Bush, was murdered to silence his participation in the theft and sale of American nuclear warheads?   Continue reading “US secretly selling nukes worldwide via Israel”

Child Abuse Recovery

Air Force personnel massacred 13 children on May 17 1958 according to the lone survivor of a suspected genocide by Royal Canadian Air Force personnel.

The homicides were said to take place as the Canadian government closed their MKULTRA mind control program. Last week the witness, now in her mid-sixties, gave heart-wrenching details about child genocides during hearings at the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels. She also discussed her eyewitness to murders of seven other children during her two year childhood stint at the base. She claimed to be a victim of a CIA-funded mind control program designed to develop “Super Spies.”   Continue reading “CIA, US, Canadians torturing, murdering children to develop Super Spies?”

Georgia state Attorney General Sam Olens recently decided to play hardball with a journalism student who published certain documents at the Society for Professional Journalists blog network. Needless to say, it backfired. (via Jim Romenesko)

First off, University of Georgia student David Schick made a public records request for documents concerning names of candidates for his university’s president, as part of an investigation into the school’s Georgia Perimeter College’s $16 million budget shortfall. According to Schick, the obfuscation began there. The published part Olens objected to is only four of the 700 pages Schick ended up with — but he had to fight hard to get anything at all.   Continue reading “State AG Tries To Order Removal Of Public Records From Journalist’s Blog, Resulting In Records Being Posted Everywhere”

Do you remember the 2009 “Swine Flu Pandemic” – which supposedly threatened millions of unvaccinated people? Naturally, if we ask the pharmaceutical industry, the Swine Flu vaccination campaign was a ‘huge success’. Unfortunately, according to the National 2009 H1N1 Flu Survey, an estimated 46 million people were duped into believing that a flu shot was their only hope.   Continue reading “Vaccine dangers: The facts don’t lie”

The TSA has issued a solicitation requesting 24 million rounds of .357 SIG “duty ammunition” over a five year period, prompting fresh questions as to whether the federal agency is planning to arm its workers.

“Estimated quantity is approximately 4,800,000 rounds of .357 Sig duty ammunition per year, totaling 24,000,000 over the life of the contract,” states the solicitation, posted on FedBizOpps, which adds that the ammo is for use at “DHS component locations nationwide.”    Continue reading “TSA to Purchase 24 Million Rounds of “Duty” Ammunition”

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s ruling military on Friday summoned the entire ousted government and members of the politically influential family at the heart of the country’s long-running conflict, a day after it seized control of this volatile Southeast Asian nation in a non-violent coup.

There was virtually no military presence on Bangkok’s streets, which were less crowded than usual but still filled with vendors and people heading to work after a 10 p.m. – 5 a.m. curfew the night before. There were no reports of overnight violence.   Continue reading “Thai coup leaders summon influential family”

“If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls who live under tyranny.” — Thomas Jefferson

The quote above is a paraphrase taken from Jefferson’s Notes on Virginia, Query XVII (1781-1785).  The original quote centered around the concept of natural rights as it related to freedom of choice regarding our own bodies and souls.  As long as we do not harm others, we can think and do whatever we please.  This is how the founding fathers defined freedom.  This was originally what was meant by “common law” and “natural law“.   (The original concept of common law has been perverted by a corrupt judiciary under the bar association.)   Continue reading “Quote by Thomas Jefferson”
