"Rita Hutchens, a middle-aged quilt artist from Sandpoint, Idaho, experienced the dreaded 'midnight knock' -- the hallmark of a totalitarian police state -- as part of a Soviet-style campaign of official persecution. Her 'offense' was to seek redress for being assaulted by a police officer in what was ruled to be an illegal arrest. (This is the teaser for a full-length documentary.)" Continue reading →
"A three-member 'break and rake' team approached the house, shattered a window, and threw in a flash-bang grenade. The fire quickly propagated itself through the house, generating a dense black cloud of highly toxic smoke. The SWAT team then trained its weapons on the house, which effectively prevented the victim from escaping from the burning building. The Fire Department responded quickly once fire enveloped Serrato’s home – but the SWAT team held them at bay for nearly a half-hour while the screaming victim was trapped inside. By the time the firefighters could enter the home, Serrato was dead." Continue reading →
"If the Obama and Cameron governments were in the dock at Nuremberg, the entirety of both governments would be convicted. Are there sufficient brainwashed people in both countries to sustain the US/UK myth that 'freedom and democracy' are attained via war crimes? There is no shortage of brainwashed Americans who love to be told that they are 'indispensable' and ' exceptional,' and therefore entitled to work their will on the world. It is difficult to discern in these clueless Americans much hope for the revival of liberty. But there is some indication that the British, who did not inherit liberty but had to fight for it for five centuries, might be more determined." Continue reading →
"Senator Cruz’s position is: 'Because I was a U.S. citizen at birth, because I left Calgary when I was 4 and have lived my entire life since then in the U.S., and because I have never taken affirmative steps to claim Canadian citizenship, I assumed that was the end of the matter.' This contradicts the position of the U.S. government. Let me clarify by asking a question. Q. What if Mr. Cruz had been born in the United States and left at the age of four for Canada and never 'claimed' his U.S. citizenship? A. The U.S. would take the position that he was a U.S. citizen whether he 'claimed his citizenship' or not. It would then assert direct rights of ownership and abuse over him." Continue reading →
"If Canadians and others around the world want to renounce U.S. citizenship to protect their private financial information from U.S. snooping, IRS expects five years of income tax returns, destructive penalties and a possible exit tax. Senator Cruz, Canada respects your decision to renounce your Canadian citizenship. When it is granted, I assure you Canada will not stalk you for information about your private finances and will not demand taxes or penalties from you. Senator Cruz, will you and your Congressional colleagues do the same to protect Canadians and others around the world from outrageous demands of the IRS and U.S. Treasury?" Continue reading →
"North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is taking a new approach to defectors who have fled his impoverished and repressive state, promising they will not be harmed if they come home, and even offering cash rewards, according to some in the exile community. That’s in sharp contrast to the approach taken by Kim’s father, who during nearly 20 years in power hid the issue and severely punished the families of those who defected, fearing they would undermine the state with their tales of the prosperous South. Exactly why Kim has taken a different view of defectors is unclear." Continue reading →
"Venezuela is installing 30,000 surveillance cameras to crack down on rampant crime, officials said Wednesday. Most of the Chinese-made equipment will be put up in the capital Caracas. Some is already in place in a municipality within the Caracas metropolitan area as part of a pilot program. The equipment, manufactured by Chinese company CEIEC, will be delivered to Venezuela under cooperation agreements agreed by Caracas and Beijing. The information picked up by the devices will be made available to police for use in crime probes." Continue reading →
"Ayo Kimathi is a black supremist, who says in order for blacks to survive, they must kill large numbers of whites. Ayo Kimathi, who writes under the pen name of the 'Irritated Genie', works for the DHS. (Department of Homeland Security) Even more troubling is his job at the DHS, which is to buy guns and ammunition. During the evenings and on the weekends, he prepares for the coming race war and spewing diatribes about gays. He says he believes the white man is encouraging black men to turn gay. His site is named 'War is on the Horizon.'" Continue reading →
"In court papers filed today (PDF), the United States Department of Justice requested that George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice and Paul Wolfowitz be granted procedural immunity in a case alleging that they planned and waged the Iraq War in violation of international law. Plaintiff Sundus Shaker Saleh, an Iraqi single mother and refugee now living in Jordan, filed a complaint in March 2013 in San Francisco federal court alleging that the planning and waging of the war constituted a 'crime of aggression' against Iraq, a legal theory that was used by the Nuremberg Tribunal to convict Nazi war criminals after World War II."

"After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, President Bush and a bipartisan Congress rushed into law the unconstitutional PATRIOT Act, which now serves as the 'legal' basis of the NSA spying on the phone calls, emails and Internet activity of every American and millions more in other countries. In 2009, Obama signed into law the Democrat-backed Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) that seeks to impose IRS control and review over every American’s offshore financial activity, destroying all financial privacy, based on a false assumption of tax evasion. Your salvation rests with you – and with the actions you determine to take right now." Continue reading →
