TSA Spent $900 Million on Behavior Detection Officers Who Detected 0 TerroristsCNS News

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) spent approximately $900 million over the last 5 years for behavior detection officers to identify high-risk passengers but, so far, according to the General Accountability Office (GAO), only 0.59% of the passengers flagged were arrested and among those not one was charged with terrorism – zero.

In 2003, the TSA started testing its Screening of Passengers by Observation Technique (SPOT) program, which was then fully deployed in 2007. About 3,000 behavior detection officers (BDO) “had been deployed to 176 of the more than 450 TSA-regulated airports in the United States” by fiscal year 2012 (Oct. 1, 2011 – Sept. 30, 2012), according to the GAO.   Continue reading “TSA Spent $900 Million on Behavior Detection Officers Who Detected 0 Terrorists”

Gun SeizuresAmmoLand – by Dean Weingarten

Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- An anti-freedom policy has been spreading across United States police departments, the legalized theft of citizens guns.

Recently, it occurred in Georgia.  I am not talking about forfeiture laws.   They are related but have been covered elsewhere.

This is a problem in many urban areas, and it is spreading.  The policy is to impound guns, in extreme cases, all guns that officers come across, whether involved in any crime or not, then to refuse to return the guns until a judge issues an order to return  them.   As the attorney fees needed to obtain a court order can easily be 10 times what the gun is worth, most people do not bother.   Continue reading “Legalized Theft of Guns”

Don’t let your preconceived notions get in the way of this one. Although Matt is reading from Howard Zinn’s 1970 speech ‘The Problem is Civil Obedience‘ and the words are not his own, Matt Damon is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars – and as such, he has a lot to lose. The praise-worthy fact is that he chose to utter these powerful ideas, publicly.   Continue reading ““We’re Going to Need to Go Outside of the Law… to Stop Obeying the Laws””

Police on Long Island have accused a deli owner and his son of trying to cheat a millon-dollar lottery winner out of the vast majority of his rightful prize.

According to police, a 34-year-old man who did not speak English went to the Peninsula Deli and Grocery in Hempstead, N.Y. Thursday to claim his winnings. When 26-year-old clerk Karim Jaghab scanned the card, he got a message reading “”File claim: jackpot winner – please return original ticket to the customer along with a claim receipt,” which meant that the man had won $1 million.    Continue reading “NY police say store owner, son tried to cheat lottery winner out of $990G”

Recently in Chicago a week was designated ‘CHICAGO IDEAS WEEK’. The objective of the week was to find ideas that would remedy all of the dilemmas facing the city.

All Chicago area residents were summoned to Chicago to “come see Rahm Emanuel and a community of global leaders, innovators  and creative minds as they shape the ideas that are shaping the world.”

It should be noted that most of the speakers are part of shaping our world which is now in total disarray.   Continue reading “The Reality of Chicago”

The United States and Iran have made a deal in reference to Iran’s development of nuclear technology and Israel’s King Netanyahu is distraught over the matter.  If we just examine the situation using the controlled information we are getting from the controlled media, it would seem like a good day for America, as it would seem we are finally starting to refuse Israeli rule in the United States.

I personally believe this whole thing is nothing more than yet another production designed to control and manipulate.  Ask yourself, what are the true interests of the United States in the Middle East?  I’m not talking about corporate interests, but rather those of we the people.    Continue reading “Is Netanyahu Really Mad at His Brother Obama?”

Hart Island can be found on Google Maps, which labels the northern half of the island “Potter’s Field,” a term commonly used to refer to a place where unknown or unclaimed bodies are buried. The location is no longer accurate, and the name never was. When the city bought Hart Island for $75,000 in 1868, the new potter’s field was set on 45 acres at the island’s northern tip. Administration was handed over to what was then called the Department of Charities and Correction, which operated a prison and a technical school for delinquent boys on the island. Inmates were given the job of burying the dead, a practice that continues to this day. The Department of Correction estimates that more than 850,000 people are now buried on Hart Island, noting that the actual number may be somewhere between 750,000 and a million, a standard deviation that is jarring when you think about it.   Continue reading “Mass Grave, Hundreds Of Thousands Dead, On Island Off Manhattan”
