United States Courts

The federal judiciary has learned of an email scam, in which emails purporting to come from federal and state courts are infecting recipients with computer viruses.

According to the Security Operations Center of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the emails are instructing recipients to report to a hearing on a specified day and time. The emails also instruct recipients to review an attached document for detailed case information. When the attachments or links in the email are opened,  a malicious program is launched that infects the recipient’s computer. Several state courts have reported similar schemes, and also are warning the public about potential viruses.   Continue reading “Public Alert: Scam Emails About Phony Court Cases Carry Computer Virus”

If you community does not presently have an Lexington Green, it may be time to build your center of resistance which will stand up to federal tyranny.   Continue reading “Will Armed Sheriff’s Deputies Stop the Criminal EPA?”

WEB Notes: Netanyahu currently opposes the deal which divides Jerusalem. I believe everyone understands Jerusalem is going to be the catch in these negotiations. When Christ returns, Jerusalem will be the capital of the world. But have you been taught the false Christ comes first? Guess where he will setup his kingdom? In Jerusalem. As for these negotiations I can see the United Nations stepping in and making Jerusalem the capital of the world for “all to enjoy.” This is a very real possibility. Keeping watching watchmen.    Continue reading “Abbas: Israel must negotiate on Jerusalem’s future”

An analysis of 225 terrorism cases inside the United States since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks has concluded that the bulk collection of phone records by the National Security Agency “has had no discernible impact on preventing acts of terrorism.”
