Washington, D. C. – Newly disclosed U.S. government files provide an inside look at the Homeland Security Department’s practice of seizing and searching electronic devices at the border without showing reasonable suspicion of a crime or getting a judge’s approval.

The documents published Monday describe the case of David House, a young computer programmer in Boston who had befriended Army Pvt. Chelsea Manning, the soldier convicted of giving classified documents to WikiLeaks. U.S. agents quietly waited for months for House to leave the country then seized his laptop, thumb drive, digital camera and cellphone when he re-entered the United States.    Continue reading “DHS is targeting activists at the border confiscating smartphones and laptops without probable cause”

North Carolina – Can a firefighter pull over a motorist suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol? Perhaps not, a sharply divided North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled last Tuesday. Gordon Shatley, a Chapel Hill Fire Department lieutenant, was responding to a fire alarm when he stopped his fire engine at the intersection of Estes Drive and Fordham Boulevard at 10:30pm on May 27, 2011. To his left he saw a light-colored Mercedes stopped with a window partially rolled down in pouring rain with only parking lights and the interior dome light on.    Continue reading “Firefighters want to be allowed to conduct DUI traffic stops”

RIDGEFIELD PARK — An encounter with a man who said someone had broken into his car escalated into a bomb scare that led police to evacuate nearby residents and close Route 46 for hours, authorities said.   Continue reading “‘Irrational’ man locks himself in car, causes bomb scare on Rt. 46, police say”

In the next few days and completely against the will of the American people, hundreds of AIPAC activists will raid the American Congress to push for a war. Nothing new in that but still, one question  bothers me: How many of these pro-war Jews have sent their own sons and daughters to serve in the American military?

Bearing in mind that pretty much the same Lobby pushed for the invasion of Iraq in 2003, one might wonder whether Jews were fairly represented in the military forces or in the casualty statistics of that military blunder. I’d guess they were not.  It seems that the enthusiasm of the Lobby in pushing for wars for America doesn’t translate much into patriotism or sacrifice. The Lobby indeed pushes for wars, but somehow it’s always the gentiles who do the killing and the dying.   Continue reading “On AIPAC And Patriotism”

Million-dollar campaigns, saturation advertising and massive canvassing have become commonplace in U.S. elections, especially in a swing state such as Colorado. A campaign underway there has all of the above – in a recall vote for two state senators that has become a showdown over gun policy and political dominance in a changing state.   Continue reading “Colo. recall over gun control turns into national fight”

The intense debate within the United States these days about whether or not to attack Syria as punishment for the Damascus regime’s alleged use of chemical weapons is one of the most dramatic examples of democracy in action that I have ever witnessed – “the consent of the governed” in action. It is clear a large majority of Americans does not support a military strike. Only 36 percent of those surveyed approve launching a strike, according to a Washington Post/ABC poll released Tuesday, down from the 63 percent that approved military action last December. Opposition is almost the same across party affiliations.   Continue reading “A dead Marine and the Syria attack”

On Friday’s broadcast, End Times radio host Rick Wiles asserted that President Obama was pressing for military action against Syria on behalf of his “spiritual father,” King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who groomed and financed his rise to power in America.

Calling for Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, John Boehner, John McCain, Lindsey Graham and others to be arrested and tried for treason, Wiles warned that the US will carry out a “false flag” terrorist attack in the United States that it could blame on Syrian president Bashar al-Assad as justification for military action:   Continue reading “Wiles: US Will Carry Out False Flag Terrorist Attack In US To Justify Military Action Against Syria”

Attitudes towards marijuana are changing across the nation, and subsequently, so are the laws. But none have been as bold as the newly proposed California Hemp Act 2014 (CHA) recently filed by the California Cannabis Hemp Initiative 2014 (CCHI). The CHA would essentially legalize all marijuana and hemp, but unlike laws in a select few states, it would go so far as to stop the California state government from taxing or regulating marijuana at all.   Continue reading “Bold Marijuana Legalization Ballot Measure Proposed in California”

Do you remember the story of Deer Trail, Colorado and its passion for hunting drones? Well evidently that passion spreads beyond just a few people. It is being reported that roughly 1000 people have already applied for licenses.

The New York Daily News reports:

Hunters in Colorado are lining up for a hot new license: $25 to shoot down a government drone over the village of Deer Trail.   Continue reading “1000 People Apply for Drone Hunting Licenses in Colorado”

There are many reasons, this year, to believe that the USDA will be more lax than ever on meat safety. Eat large-scale and processed meats at your own risk.

Just before Labor Day weekend, the USDA quietly admitted that they have lifted the ban against processed chicken imports from China.

This is of great concern for multiple reasons.   Continue reading “USDA Lifts Ban on Chinese Processed Chicken Imports”

President Barack Obama says he is willing to wait weeks, but not months, as Congress debates taking military action against Syria.

Speaking to Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace as part of a media blitz on Monday, Obama said that he is aware he has yet to persuade a majority of the American public or Congress.   Continue reading “Obama: Willing to Delay Military Action on Syria”

My first awareness of the term Continuity of Government (CoG) came from reading former terror-czar Richard Clarke’s take on the US government failures on 9/11, Against All Enemies. While describing all the fancy high tech systems in place to ultimately be foiled by either human inefficiency (the official story) or nefarious planning (also the official story), Clarke expanded on the implementation of CoG on that world shaking day.   Continue reading “Continuity of Genocide”
