Second-Grade Teacher Suspended for Showing Children Garden Tools

"Yes, my friends, a 17-year teaching veteran did it. He showed garden tools to his class. It’s incredible. He actually showed them tools. That’s right. He got out a box of tools. There was a pair of pliers. There was a screwdriver. But the school’s authorities knew this was a cover. He showed the children a pocket knife. What kind of tool is that? What can a knife do that a pair of hedge clippers can’t do a lot better? So, he was suspended for four days without pay. The public schools are determined to protect children. They should not be shown a knife at age 7. Condoms, yes. That’s different. But not knives." Continue reading →

‘I Am a Watertown Resident…’

"I am saddened that no one realizes that what happened on Marathon Monday happens every day in the countries that the US currently occupies and that what descended upon Watertown on Friday is experienced by families abroad at the hands of US forces every single day. I am disgusted by the willingness of those around me to be spoon fed fear and then to truly believe that the only people that can protect and save them is the military force that came out in droves and forced people under house arrest. It is happening before my eyes. Liberty was born here, and this week, Liberty has officially died." Continue reading →

Yemeni activist condemns ‘terror’ of drone strikes in emotional speech to senators

"'In the past, what Wessab villagers knew of the U.S. was based on my stories about my wonderful experiences here. The friendships and values I experienced and described to the villagers helped them understand the America that I know and that I love. Now, however, when they think of America they think of the terror they feel from the drones that hover over their heads ready to fire missiles at any time.' Al-Muslimi described drone strikes as the 'face of America' in Yemen and warned they were creating anti-American sentiment. He gruesomely described how civilians were often killed by drone strikes on small villages." Continue reading →

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.'"

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…."

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 →

Goldman Sachs: Cover Your Gold Shorts

"This morning, Goldman Sachs has put out an advisory recommending that clients close out their short positions in gold. Just weeks ago on April 19, GS cut its short- and long-term gold forecasts. At the time, analysts Damien Courvalin and Jeffrey Currie told clients that 'should our expectation for lower gold prices continue to prove correct, the fall in prices could end up being faster and larger than our forecast.' On April 12, gold fell on its worst two-day plunge since futures first started trading in New York. Despite the advice to close out short positions, it appears GS wants to have its foot in both the bullish and bearish camp." Continue reading →

Chechnya: “We Will Make You Feel What We Feel”

"When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Chechen demanded independence like the Soviet republics. Instead, Boris Yeltsin’s government invaded Chechnya, killing some 100,000 Chechen civilians through massive carpet bombing and shelling. FSB chief Vladimir Putin was catapulted into power by anti-Chechen hysteria caused by mysterious bombings in 1999. Powerful Russian forces invaded and crushed the life out of Chechen resistance. All moderate Chechen leaders were assassinated, the last in Qatar in 2004, leaving mostly militant Islamists." Continue reading →
