With little more than a week left until the PlayStation 4 launches in North America, Sony has updated the device’s Software Usage Terms. Those who preordered the machine are in for a few nasty surprises: By using the system, you are giving Sony permission to spy on you through the PlayStation Network (PSN), and game publishers permission to control the content you buy.

The information comes by way of Sony itself, which outlines the upcoming console’s restrictions in sections dealing with reporting and resale.   Continue reading “PS4 Can Spy On You and Prevent Used Game Sales”

Just because a person can see the outside of your home on a public street doesn’t mean you’ve surrendered all your privacy expectations in the home. However, that seemingly obvious concept is being put to the test in a federal criminal case in Washington state, which involves the constitutionality of using a camera mounted on a pole outside a house to allow the police to watch the home for almost a month. Senior District Court Judge Edward Shea invited EFF to submit an amicus brief in the case and Monday we filed our brief, arguing prolonged warrantless video surveillance violates the Fourth Amendment.    Continue reading “Video surveillance of a home for a month without a warrant violates 4th. Amendment”

Federal prosecutors routinely threaten extraordinarily severe prison sentences to coerce drug defendants into waiving their right to trial and pleading guilty, Human Rights Watch said in a report.

In the rare cases in which defendants insist on going to trial, prosecutors make good on their threats. Federal drug offenders convicted after trial receive sentences on average three times as long as those who accept a plea bargain, according to new statistics developed by Human Rights Watch.   Continue reading “Human Rights Watch report: Drug defendants are being ‘forced’ to plead guilty”

If you like your Second Amendment, you can keep it.

That seems to be the promise being put forward by many politicians on Capitol Hill, even while they are rushing headlong to renew a gun ban that is set to expire next week.

The gun ban supposedly outlaws “plastic guns,” but it’s so poorly drafted, it’s potentially much broader.   Continue reading “A Truly Plastic Gun Ban”

WEB Notes: Imagine if the United States planned to “resettle” a ethnic base of people, the outrage there would be. Israel is planning to forcibly remove these Bedouin people from their homes and confiscate their land. Does this sound like the acts of God’s chosen people? Of course not because they are not God’s chosen people. God’s people go by His name, Christ and believe upon Him. Have you read what God’s Word has to say about those who claim to be of Judah but do lie?   Continue reading “‘Day of rage’: Police, protesters clash in Israel at plans to evict 40,000 Bedouins”

The following article by Arnold Leese is reprinted from Gothic Ripples, No. 49, dated 28th February, 1949. It shows that the seeds of Bolshevism were planted in China by Jews, who also tended and trained the growth that resulted. The corruption of the regime of Chiang Kai‑Shek caused many of the masses in China to turn to Communism for relief, since Chinese Communism is mixed with Nationalism and discourages the old Chinese curse of official corruption; but Communism in China has the same de­humanising effect on the people as it has elsewhere.   Continue reading “Arnold Leese: THE JEWISH ROTTING OF CHINA.”

Some may tout marijuana as a safe, recreational drug with valuable medicinal properties, but toke up your joint and it likely contains mold, pesticides, even dead insects, according to researchers at the University of New Haven in Connecticut.   Continue reading “Marijuana: Toke Up on Mold, Insects and Manure”

A 56-year-old grandmother drove from Kentucky to New Jersey several times in order to fight a $56 traffic ticket over her so-called “Liberty Van.”

Good news for the woman: She won.

Lynda Farley, whose van is emblazoned with flags, flowers, bumper stickers and political signs that say things like “Outdoor smoke bans are idiotic” and “Vote Marxists Out,” was cited in New Jersey in September 2012 for driving a vehicle with an obstructed view. Specifically, the trooper told her the string of flowers bordering the front windshield of her 2004 Nissan Quest minivan obstructed her view of the road, according to the Express-Times.   Continue reading “Woman drives ‘Liberty Van’ 5,000 miles to fight ticket, wins”

We have personally investigated Wounded Warriors and what we have learned is very disturbing.

They advertise heavily on T.V. and if you pay close attention they do not show one actual thing they have done to help a Wounded Warrior.

They show pictures and stories of Wounded Warriors and use them as a heart tugging way to solicit donations.   Continue reading “Wounded Warrior Project is a Fraud”

So many people can’t wait to get rid of them once they start growing on their lawn, since dandelions are often seen as unwelcome weeds. Some of you may also recall the Rolling Stones song named “Dandelion” that came out during the summer of 1967. It was possibly the last time that dandelion was truly put into the spotlight, but new hope has now emerged that could very well make it the most wanted weed around.  Continue reading “Dandelion has unsuspected health benefits such as inhibiting cancer cell growth”

Wednesday, 4 December 2013:  Americans have been victimized by one of the worst and most insidious crimes in American history – a forgery that involves Barack Hussein Obama, a/k/a Barry Soetoro. It is a conspiracy of Marxists and Islamists that has put one of their own in as President of the United States to destroy the country from within and convert our Constitutional Republic into a socialist police state.   Continue reading “Exposing the Obama forgery”

A Northwood, Iowa man charged with violating a city ordinance that bans raising chickens within city limits is set to face trial late next week.

Leo Hendrick, war veteran, father and owner of Spartan Arms, moved his family to Northwood five years ago in hopes to live a more healthy and self-sufficient life.

NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC host Martin Bashir resigned from the network Wednesday, nearly three weeks after making graphic remarks on his show about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

“I deeply regret” the comments, Bashir said in a statement. “It is my sincere hope that all of my colleagues, at this special network, will be allowed to focus on the issues that matter without the distraction of myself or my ill-judged comments.”   Continue reading “Bashir leaves MSNBC over inflammatory remarks”
