An Occupy Wall Street activist was acquitted of assaulting a police officer and other charges on Thursday after jurors were presented with video evidence that directly contradicted the NYPD’s story.

Michael Premo was found innocent of all charges this week in regards to a case that stems from a December 17, 2011 Occupy Wall Street demonstration in Lower Manhattan. For over a year, prosecutors working on behalf of the New York Police Department have insisted that Premo, a known artist and activist, tackled an NYPD officer during a protest and in doing so inflicted enough damage to break a bone.

While we may be under the impression that our democratic system of government is here to protect us, corporations—and the politicians getting paychecks from them—do a fair job of making that difficult. This manner of “legislative capture” is manifesting itself in a host of appalling ways far beyond those listed here. Here are 8 ways corporations are poisoning our food supply, humans, and mother earth. Continue reading “8 Ways Corporations are Poisoning Our Food, Water, the Earth”

Perhaps you remember the ill-fated Just-Label-It campaign. A number of activist groups petitioned the FDA for a federal regulation that would make labeling GMO food mandatory.

The petition amassed over a million signatures. But the FDA decided only 394 of these were legitimate, because all the others were electronically submitted in one document. Continue reading “Monsanto and the FDA: 2 crimes families working a trillion-dollar hustle”

On Wednesday’s broadcast, Mark Koernke said to tell these folks to carry flags. Well, take a look at this photograph of Thursday’s Gun Rally in Albany. I do not think that they needed any reminder. There were plenty of Don’t Trend on Me Flags, US Flags and anti-commie or anti-fascist signs. Note the flag pole near center of photograph; the flags it flies are almost off camera. The holder wanted to make sure the buracRATS could see his flags. Continue reading “Albany NY Gun Rally 2-28-13”

The GOP reportedly is considering “ceding” power to President Obama regarding the sequester.  The President will have until March 8 to come up with $85 billion in spending cuts and Congress can “veto” these by March 22 with a 2/3rds vote.

If this actually passes and Congress does this (presumably to embarrass the President by displaying “where” he cuts), the country will then pass into dictatorship.  The Constitution was written specifically to prevent this exact possibility! Continue reading “At the Brink of Dictatorship”

The United States Department of Agriculture is likely to approve a horse slaughtering plant in New Mexico in the next two months, which would allow equine meat suitable for human consumption to be produced in the United States for the first time since 2007.

The plant, in Roswell, N.M., is owned by Valley Meat Company, which sued the U.S.D.A. and its Food Safety and Inspection Service last fall over the lack of inspection services for horses going to slaughter. Horse meat cannot be processed for human consumption in the United States without inspection by the U.S.D.A., so horses destined for that purpose have been shipped to places like Mexico and Canada for slaughter.

ALBANY, N.Y. — A New York court agreed Friday to review whether the state’s strict new gun controls were rushed into law in violation of the state constitution.

In Senator Chris Murphy Versus Guns we discussed how Senator Murphy is playing the poll card with his colleagues.  The polls support us, he says.  But I pointed out that they don’t, and (via David Codrea) here is more evidence.

In an ongoing poll conducted of its membership by Gun Owners of America, 96.2% of over 18,500 respondents have thus far opposed Obama’s universal background check proposal. Continue reading “Senator Chris Murphy Runs Afoul Of Second Amendment”

How could those those eminent Jewish scientist before him have been so wrong? Easy says Dr. Elhaik, “First these researchers decided what conclusions they wanted to find, and then they set off to find evidence to support it.” I was not bashing Jewish scientists. What Elhaik has described is a slam dunk fraud. Continue reading “New Genome Study Destroys Zionist Claims to Palestine”

The term “final protective fire” means the highest priority is given to this request due to the danger of a position being overrun. For the guy in the trenches, that means firing as fast as possible to break up a determined assault — even if that uses up barrels and ammo fast. If the FPF fails, there won’t be a “later” for those troops. Continue reading “Final protective fire”

March 1, 2013, open austerity takes effect in the United States.  Though this is being called sequestration, make no mistake, it is austerity and austerity can only occur in a socialist country.  Via the original Constitution for the United States, there was to be not but, if at all, direct tax for a specific purpose for a stated span of time, and only as agreed upon by the people through their lawful representatives.

The theory being that all property is retained by the people and could only be transferred via free will.  But then again, there was to be no taxation upon taxation, and more to the present time, upon taxation, upon taxation, upon taxation.  Today’s act of austerity dispels any notion of the people’s absolute right to their property.
