A Pennsylvania family has filed a lawsuit against the Pittsburgh police department, claiming that two dozen SWAT team members raided their home and terrorized their two children in retaliation for a prior incident involving an officer outside a local bar.

Surveillance video captured in December 2010 outside a Pittsburgh bar shows Michael Murray, an off-duty police officer, trying to help a bartender escort an unruly patron out of the establishment. A fight breaks out in the process, with another customer – later identified as William Moreno – jumping into the fray and throwing Murray to the ground.  Continue reading “Pittsburgh SWAT sued for ‘terrorizing’ young family at gunpoint”

Wake Up America – by Susan Duclos

Bradley Manning is a whistleblower or traitor, depending on what side of the aisle you fall on, for stealing hundreds of thousands of classified documents and revealing them to Wikileaks, while still in uniform and part of the military, but his trial for those very actions are bringing about another issue, one that both sides of the aisle can appreciate.

Freedom of the press, which if journalists covering the trial are to be believed, claim is nonexistent.   Continue reading “Military Intimidating Journalists Covering Bradley Manning Trial”

The document shown below is purported to have come directly from the Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations of the U.S. House of Representatives, first session of the 91st Congress.

In the document it specifically says that an AIDS-laced smallpox vaccine was to be injected into over 100 million African-Americans in 1977, and over 2,000 young white male homosexuals (Operation Trojan Horse) were to be injected by the CDC and the New York Blood Center in 1978.   Continue reading “Does This Document Prove AIDS Deliberately Manufactured And Spread?”

Chris Christie Finds Liberty a "Dangerous Idea"Before It’s News – by Mort Amsel

Speaking at the Republican Governors Conference in Aspen, Colorado, Christie delivered what Aaron Blake at the Washington Post described as a “clear broadside” against Republicans of a libertarian bent, including Sen.

Over the past several decades, people around the world have become so brainwashed that few people really give much thought anymore to the safety of their currency.

It’s not something people really understand… there’s apparently some Wizard of Oz type figure at the top of the hill pulling all the levers of the monetary system. And we just trust them to be good guys.   Continue reading “Here’s what happens when a central bank goes bust”

Why remain silent if they can just read your mind?

We don’t have a mind reading machine. But what if we one day did? The technique of functional MRI (fMRI), which measures changes in localized brain activity over time, can now be used to infer information regarding who we are thinking about, what we have seen, and the memories we are recalling. As the technology for inferring thought from brain activity continues to improve, the legal questions regarding its potential application in criminal and civil trials are gaining greater attention.   Continue reading “Could the Government Get a Search Warrant for Your Thoughts?”

It took about thirty years, but apparently Americans had finally grown tired of watching cop shows on TV. There were probably at least fifty different ones over the years, but in every one of them the top cop at any crime scene would always say “send it to the lab boys” whenever chemical evidence or suspected drugs were found, so the natural progression from cop shows would be to a show about the lab boys themselves, and this has resulted in a show called “CSI.”

If you were ever trapped in a motel for a month I’m sure you’ve seen it. Multi-million dollar immaculate laboratories, high-tech and stylish, staffed by beautiful, intelligent, and morally perfect civil servants, who rely on their superior intelligence and experienced professionalism to always catch the bad guy.   Continue reading “Murder”

Just days ago Egyptian General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called for demonstrations on Friday to give the military a mandate to confront“violence and potential terrorism”. General Sisi said he was not calling for public unrest and wanted national reconciliation.

What exactly happens when you call for demonstrations in the streets among escalated tensions no less? Calamity. Those people amassed into crowds in record numbers reports the AP,   Continue reading “Egypt: 92 Killed, 649 Injured After General Calls for “Peaceful” Demonstrations”

Federal regulators in the the U.S. say they have certified two types of unmanned aircraft for civilian use, a milestone expected to lead to the first approved commercial drone operations in the U.S. later this summer.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday the drones, officially named unmanned air vehicles (UAV) or unmanned air systems (UAS), are Insitu’s Scan Eagle X200 and AeroVironment’s PUMA.   Continue reading “Drones to fly U.S. skies, FAA approves 1st civilian UAVs”

For the third time in two years, California inmates are refusing food to protest what they say are inhumane conditions.

Inmates are starving themselves to change the state’s practice of indefinite solitary confinement.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says it has used drones for domestic surveillance purposes in the United States at least ten times without obtaining warrants. In three additional cases, drones were authorized but “not actually used.”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Thursday published a letter from FBI Assistant Director Stephen D. Kelly, who admitted that the agency used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) domestically, without gathering any warrants.   Continue reading “FBI admits to flying drones over US without warrants”

PANMUNJOM, North Korea (AP) — Some Americans call it the “Forgotten War,” a 1950s conflict fought in a far-off country and so painful that even survivors have tried to erase their memories of it.

The North Koreans, however, have not forgotten. Sixty years after the end of the Korean War, the country is marking the milestone anniversary with a massive celebration Saturday for a holiday it calls “Victory Day” — even though the two sides only signed a truce, and have yet to negotiate a peace treaty.   Continue reading “Korean divide lives on 60 years after end of war”

Amitai Etzioni has raised an important question: “Who authorized preparations for war with China?”http://yalejournal.org/2013/06/12/who-authorized-preparations-for-war-with-china/ Etzioni says that the war plan is not the sort of contingency plan that might be on hand for an improbable event. Etzioni also reports that the Pentagon’s war plan was not ordered by, and has not been reviewed by, US civilian authorities. We are confronted with a neoconized US military out of control endangering Americans and the rest of the world.   Continue reading “The Two Faux Democracies Threaten Life On Earth”

Deep in the mountains of northern Idaho, miles from the nearest town, lays evidence of a little-known portion of a shameful chapter of American history.

There are no buildings, signs or markers to indicate what happened at the site 70 years ago, but researchers sifting through the dirt have found broken porcelain, old medicine bottles and lost artwork identifying the location of the first internment camp where the U.S. government used people of Japanese ancestry as a workforce during World War II.   Continue reading “Researchers uncover little-known internment camp”

The Department of Homeland Security’s plans to occupy an old psychiatric hospital in the Washington D.C. area have slowly been moving forward, despite the project’s enormous projected cost.

The mammoth governmental entity, which has come to umbrella the offices of the Border Patrol Agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, FEMA, the abhorrent TSA, and even the Coast Guard since its creation in 2002, is working to consolidate all of its agencies within one campus at a cost of $4.5 billion.   Continue reading “New DHS Headquarters was a CIA MKUltra Test Facility”
