MSM “Fingers” Infowars.com as Influence on Boston Bomber Older Brother

"AP is out with their 'Big Story.' It charges that 'Boston Bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev took an interest in Infowars, a conspiracy theory website. [Elmirza ] Khozhugov [the ex-husband of Tamerlan's sister] said Tamerlan was interested in finding a copy of the book 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,' the classic anti-Semitic hoax, first published in Russia in 1903, that claims a Jewish plot to take over the world.'"

Napolitano, Graham: U.S. needs more technological entry and exit controls

"US authorities missed Tsarnaev’s trip because his name was misspelled in the system, possibly on a plane ticket. Napolitano acknowledged 'there was a mismatch there,' adding that an immigration reform bill now under consideration would cut down on such problems by requiring passports to be readable electronically. It was not immediately clear whether Tsarnaev’s departure set off a government alert because he was on a terror watchlist or on a broader, central repository of some 500,000 names, known as the TIDE database, maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center."

U.S. Hospitals Quietly Deport Hundreds Of Undocumented Immigrants, Often While Unconscious

"A recent report compiled by immigrant advocacy groups made a rare attempt to determine how many people are sent home, concluding that at least 600 immigrants were removed over a five-year period, though there were likely many more. In interviews with immigrants, their families, attorneys and advocates, The Associated Press reviewed the obscure process known formally as 'medical repatriation,' which allows hospitals to put patients on chartered international flights, often while they are still unconscious. Hospitals typically pay for the flights." Continue reading →

Republican trio push to militarize U.S. response to domestic terrorism

"Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham (SC), John McCain (AZ), and Kelly Ayotte (NH) lashed out at liberals and libertarians on Tuesday, claiming it was dangerous to oppose the notion the United States was a 'battlefield.' Speaking on the Senate floor, the three Republicans said the government should expand the definition of an enemy combatant to include any domestic terrorists inspired by 'radical Islam.' They said Tsarnaev should be interrogated as an enemy combatant before being transferred to the civilian justice system, despite the fact he is an American citizen." Continue reading →

“Progressive” Hypocrisy on House-to-House Searches

"In the U.S. Supreme Court case known as Griswold vs. Connecticut, the justices discovered a 'right to marital privacy' in the Constitution. The same right-to-privacy argument has long been used to justify legalized abortion. Griswold vs. Connecticut cited the Third Amendment to say that in today's world, that Amendment means that 'individual homes should be free from agents of the state.' So when all those New England 'progressives' cheer the cops, SWAT teams, and military thugs who broke into their homes, pushed them around, ordered them out, and trampled all over them, they are repudiating what defines one as a 'progressive'."

Rand Paul: Use Drones To Search Neighboorhoods For Murder Suspects

"Sen. Paul also apparently would not object to using drones domestically in critical police actions: 'If there is a killer on the loose in a neighborhood, I’m not against drones being used to search them.' Paul also said in the Salon article: 'Here’s the distinction, I have never argued against any technology being used against having an imminent threat an act of crime going on…' 'Imminent threats' have a way of breeding like lemmings…."

Los Angeles settles with women fired on in Dorner manhunt

"The city of Los Angeles reached a $4.2 million settlement with a mother and daughter who were injured when police mistakenly opened fire on them while they were delivering newspapers during the manhunt for disgruntled ex-cop Christopher Dorner, officials said Tuesday. Margie Carranza and her 71-year-old mother, Emma Hernandez, were delivering papers around 5 a.m. on Feb. 7 when LAPD officers guarding the Torrance home of a target named in an online Dorner manifesto blasted at least 100 rounds at their pickup. Hernandez was shot in the back and Carranza had minor injuries.The settlement means they cannot pursue any future injury claims." Continue reading →

Rand Paul’s reversal: I don’t care if a drone kills a liquor store robber with $50 in cash

"Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who filibustered for 13 hours in March 2013 against the idea of using military drone technology against U.S. citizens, said he supported them being used against criminal suspects in an interview with Fox Business Channel on Monday. 'I have never argued against any technology being used against having an imminent threat, [or] an act of crime going on,' Paul said, referring to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. 'If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and 50 dollars in cash I don’t care if a Drone kills him or a policeman kills him.'" Continue reading →

Guy Spent $11,000 On A Coding ‘Bootcamp’ And Doubled His Salary

"These intensive training programs are not cheap — charging $10,000 to $15,000 for programs running nine to 12 weeks — and they're highly selective, typically only admitting 10 to 20 percent of applicants. And they're called boot camps for a reason. Students can expect to work 80 to 100 hours a week, mostly writing code in teams under the guidance of experienced software developers. One San Francisco school called App Academy doesn't charge tuition. Instead, it asks for a 15 percent cut of the student's first-year salary. Graduates who can't find jobs don't have to pay, but so far nearly all of them have." Continue reading →
