BERNALILLO, N.M. (AP) — The month long criminal trial and all its salacious stories of law officer affairs and a blundering investigation are over, but a civil trial looms for a former Albuquerque policeman acquitted of killing his depressed wife with his department-issued gun.

After more than 10 hours of deliberations, a jury acquitted Levi Chavez, 32, of murdering of his wife, 26-year-old Tera Chavez, in 2007 and trying to make the hairdresser’s death look like a suicide.   Continue reading “Ex-police officer acquitted of murder of wife”

Americans’ after-inflation wages have dropped by almost 3 percent since President Barack Obama’s inauguration, according to a new analysis by a left-wing advocacy group.

The biggest drop was felt by lower-income workers, while upper-income professionals were hit by a 2 percent drop. The study was released by the National Employment Law Project, which is headed by left-wing employment lawyers, union officials and a former economist in Obama’s White House, Jared Bernstein.   Continue reading “Left-wing group: Americans’ wages down during Obama’s term”

The weapons, hidden in containers of brown sugar, were detected after Panamanian authorities stopped the ship, suspecting it was carrying drugs. The vessel was pulled over near the port of Manzanillo on the Atlantic side of the canal.     Continue reading “Panama finds ‘undeclared weapons’ on North Korean ship”

I have served the post-911 Military Industrial complex for 10 years, first as a soldier in Baghdad, and now as a defense contractor.

At the time of my enlistment, I believed in the cause. I was ignorant, naïve, and misled. The narrative, professed by the state, and echoed by the mainstream press, has proven false and criminal. We have become what I thought we were fighting against.   Continue reading “I Hereby Resign in Protest Effective Immediately”

The Alaskan HAARP Facility Website has been down for quite sometime, having many ask the question on what is going on with it.  An announcement was made that the resources to fund the project have been spent and the project has shutdown.  But that isn’t the case.

As it stated in their official release, the facility is being bought by the highest bidder.  HaarpStatus updates at TheWeatherSpace.com are continuing so either the facility is still on, run by another group of scientists, or other facilities with the same technology are continuing to affect the atmosphere.  There are many facilities like HAARP across the world, with smaller ones said to be in the United States as well.   Continue reading “HAARP Has Not Shutdown, Only Bought By The Highest Bidder Group”

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano suddenly announced last week that she was resigning her position at the embattled agency in order to take a $750,000-a-year job as president of the University of California system. This will more than triple her salary, which was $200,000 at DHS.

The timing of her resignation is highly unusual for a member of the president’s cabinet. Most cabinet members who leave after a president’s first term don’t wait an extra six months into the second term. Many believe she abruptly left DHS because of some sordid dealings that are about to be discovered. Her tenure at DHS has been characterized by back-to-back lawsuits and multiple controversies regarding the agencies DHS oversees, which include the TSA, ICE, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services and FEMA.   Continue reading “Napolitano Leaving DHS Under Cloud of Suspicion”

In a mind control-like fashion, the First Lady, Michelle Obama, has been pushing a new program called “Walking School Buses” because “studies show” kids nowadays are lazy.

Americans have become lazier and more docile in recent years as their government and masters have brutally whipped them into submission incrementally. Now it has become one of Michelle Obama’s priorities to promote “Walking School Buses”, whatever those are.   Continue reading “Michelle Obama Pushes ‘Walking School Buses’ In America”

Personal responsibility is the beginning and end of reasonable and lawful behavior in a society. But I could write a thousand pages on all the factorsinduced to create violence in this country.

The chemical (drug) factors and heavy metals alone would fill a book. The covert political, psychological, and economic ops would fill another book.   Continue reading “Problem: violence. Solution: Minority Report”

(CNSNews.com) – The Rev. Jesse Jackson, founder and president of the Rainbow Push Coalition, wants the United Nations’ human rights watchdog brought into the debate over the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

Various parts of the U.N. human rights system have in the past weighed in on the Feb. 2012 shooting of the 17-year-old, criticizing Florida’s “stand your ground” law and, in one case, calling for “reparation for the victims.” Continue reading “Jesse Jackson Urges U.N.

US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns arrived in Cairo for two days of talks with the leaders of Egypt’s new military-backed government, amid reports that the US Navy has despatched ships and Marines to the Red Sea Coast.

Burns met interim President Adly Mansour and Prime Minister Hazem al-Beblawi. His visit was marked by mass protests by supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and deposed President Mohamed Mursi, chanting “Down with the military regime! Down with the dictator! President Mursi, no one else!”   Continue reading “Washington asserts its authority in Egypt”

Since Edward Snowden blew the whistle on the NSA’s mass surveillance of Americans, interest in cryptography has been piqued. That’s fine if you’re a nerd, but what about Grandma’s privacy? Luckily there are fairly simple ways to communicate privately.

Just be warned, if you use encryption, the NSA has reportedly decided it can hold on to your data indefinitely, whether you’re American or not.  Continue reading “Five Ways to Have a Chat Behind Big Brother’s Back”

The United States is an exceptional nation, or at least it was until politicians and the general public found it acceptable that government can intervene in our lives, dictate what we can or can’t do and spy on its citizens without a court order or due process. Indeed, the U.S. was a great nation, but has gone downhill over time.

Last Thursday, millions of Americans celebrated Independence Day, a day that will live on as one of the greatest times in world history: the founding of a nation that promoted the ideas of freedom, liberty and non-intervention. No other nation came before it and certainly no other nation has since been established   Continue reading “Nine Economic Freedoms Americans Have Lost Since Our Declaration Of Independence.”

It seems that the scandals just keep on coming. First, Americans are abandoned to die in a terrorist attack in Benghazi and the American people are lied to about the attack by the President and members of his cabinet. All of the facts are still unknown and the cover up continues.

Then we learn that one of the most powerful and feared government agencies, the IRS, used its power to deny tax exempt status to hundreds of conservative and religious groups in order to protect the Democrats and influence the outcome of the 2010 and 2012 election cycles. The IRS also abused its power by using illegal and unconstitutional tactics to intimidate the organizations, their members, and contributors and to target other individuals and companies that it perceived as enemies of Obama. Again, many of the facts are still unknown, but this is clearly a violation of the First Amendment right of free speech.    Continue reading “Climate Of Fear Is Becoming A Reality In America Just As It Did In The Soviet Union & Nazi Germany.”

It’s getting to be a regular, sad story – governments drunk on power, corrupt by the business interests which keep the “elected” in power, hammering Mom and Pop Americana who are simply trying to make a living.

Enter Mark Baker, owner and operator of Baker’s Green Acres. Baker left the military about nine years ago so he and his wife could start their small farm, which is located in Marion, Mich. “Since then,” National Public Radio reports, “he’s put a whole lot of love, money and time into developing tasty charcuterie: salted and cured pork, derived from his hybrids of Russian boar and the heritage breed Mangalitsa.”     Continue reading “Michigan government demands $700,000 from farmer, orders him to kill his pigs”
