As of Monday, Vermont will be the 17th state to decriminalize marijuana possession. A bill passed earlier this year goes into effect then.
The measure, House Bill 200, was sponsored by Rep. Christopher Pearson (P-Burlington), with a tripartisan group of 38 cosponsors. It ends criminal penalties for the possession of up to an ounce of marijuana or five grams of hashish and replaces them with fines of $200 for a first offense, $300 for a second offense, and $500 for subsequent offenses. Possession of more than an ounce remains a criminal offense, as does cultivation of any number of plants. Continue reading “Vermont Decriminalizes Marijuana Starting Monday”
A military drill conducted in plain view of the public reasonably creates a spectacle and raises curiosity. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that in the age of technology, some people who happen to be hanging around in public, might film a military drill taking place in open public. This man was detained as a result. (This is a long video – go to 13:00). Continue reading “Man Arrested For Filming Military Drill in Charlotte, NC”

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives is very proud of its hot new venture: using “fake drugs, big bucks to snare suspects.” USA Today reports:
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the agency in charge of enforcing the nation’s gun laws, has locked up more than 1,000 people by enticing them to rob drug stash houses that did not exist. The ploy has quietly become a key part of the ATF’s crime-fighting arsenal, but also a controversial one: The stings are so aggressive and costly that some prosecutors have refused to allow them. They skirt the boundaries of entrapment, and in the past decade they have left at least seven suspects dead. Continue reading “ATF Proud of Expensive “Stash House” Scam to Arrest Drug Thugs”

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — An American doctor arrived in Vietnam carrying an unlikely piece of luggage: the bones of an arm he amputated in 1966.
Dr. Sam Axelrad brought the skeletal keepsake home to Texas as a reminder that when a badly injured North Vietnamese soldier was brought to him, he did the right thing and fixed him up. The bones sat in a closet for decades, and when the Houston urologist finally pulled them out two years ago, he wondered about their true owner, Nguyen Quang Hung.

Huge numbers of Egyptians gathered in Cairo on Sunday to protest the government of President Mohamed Morsi, sworn in one year ago, as a smaller number of Morsi supporters gathered in a different part of town.

Cyprus Precedent? “bail-in” – rules to impose failed banks’ losses on shareholders, bondholders & “some” large depositors agreed by EU finance ministers
Anyone. Anyone except the banks will do to ‘cover’ the losses of what is essentially their depositors’ money. Even with this kind of track record, the banks are so arrogant today that the’re actually charging clients to lend them their money. They call it a “Deposit Charge” because everything a bank does for you “while looking after your money” is charged to you. You end up using between 80% and 95% of your earnings. Interest? Just another revenue stream for banks – Tom Dennen Continue reading “If You Have A Bank Account In Europe With Over 100,000 Euros In It, get Your Money Out Now”

America governs lawlessly. Out-of-control rogues run things. Conditions go from bad to worse. Tyranny threatens everyone. So does possible global war.
