‘Pothole Robin Hood’ Steals Asphalt, Fixes Potholes, Faces Possible Charges
"A man dubbed the 'pothole Robin Hood' is under police investigation for taking asphalt from the city of Jackson, Miss., and filling in potholes on city streets. Ron Chane admits that he takes the asphalt and repairs potholes, and then signs the filled-in holes with the message 'citizen fixed,' he told ABC News. 'It’s sort of like Robin Hood. Once we saw that people were appreciating what we did, we went out again and made a goal of fixing 100 potholes. We’ve actually filled 101 potholes, so our mission has been completed,' Chane said. The Jackson Police Department is looking into how Chane got the asphalt and has not yet made a decision about pressing charges." Continue reading →
Ten Police Officers Arrest Two Obama Impeachment Sign Wavers
"Survival Doc (the videographer) and Mark M. are arrested for not obeying an officer and Mark was also charged with resisting arrest. Did he resist arrest? You be the judge. Oh, and they never read us our Miranda Rights. We spent 24 hours in the St. Charles Count Jail with Missouri Hwy Trooper Jenkins acting as judge, jury and executioner." Continue reading →
The price Gina Gray paid for whistleblowing through ‘proper internal channels’
"Gray is the Defense Department whistleblower whose case I have been following for five years. She was the Army civilian worker who, before and after her employment, exposed much of the wrongdoing at Arlington National Cemetery— misplaced graves, mishandled remains and financial mismanagement — and she attempted to do it through the proper internal channels. Pentagon sources have confirmed to me her crucial role in bringing the scandal to light. For her troubles, Gray was fired. Gray, who worked in Iraq as an Army contractor and Army public affairs specialist, is now unemployed and living in North Carolina." Continue reading →
One By One, California Agents Track Down Illegally Owned Guns
"In a recent operation, a caravan of four unmarked trucks traversed the bedroom communities of San Francisco's East Bay. The trucks carry nine state agents wearing bulletproof vests and armed with .40-caliber Glock pistols and Tasers. They'll spend the next six hours looking for illegal guns, explains Special Agent Kisu Yo of the California Department of Justice. Beginning In 2007, California officials began collecting names from court records, medical facilities and lists of known or wanted criminals, then cross-referenced them against the federal instant criminal background check system for gun-buyers. The list is updated every day." Continue reading →

Ta-ta UK freedoms! Miranda matter outs vindictiveness of wounded police state
"The notion of terrorism has developed to cover not only terrorists themselves, but also activists, placard wavers, and protesters. And now, apparently, the partners of journalists have also joined the ranks. Due process is merely yet another quaint, British artifact like the Magna Carta and habeas corpus. I know this from bitter personal experience. In 1997 former MI5 intelligence officer, David Shayler, blew the whistle on a whole range of UK spy crimes: files on government ministers, illegal phone taps, IRA bombs that could have been prevented, innocent people in prison, and an illegal MI6 assassination plot against Gaddafi, which went wrong and innocent people died."

New Zealand passes law allowing domestic surveillance
"New Zealand passed legislation Wednesday allowing its main intelligence agency to spy on residents and citizens. The bill to expand the power of the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) passed by 61 votes to 59. 'This is not, and never will be, about wholesale spying on New Zealanders,' Prime Minister John Key told parliament. 'There are threats our government needs to protect New Zealanders from, those threats are real and ever-present and we underestimate them at our peril.' The push to change the law came after it emerged last year that the GCSB illegally spied on Internet tycoon Kim Dotcom." Continue reading →
The Only Legal Way to Escape US Taxes Besides Death and Renunciation
"The US government can effectively enforce its citizenship-based taxation policies thanks to its massive economic, political, and military weight and the fact that it does not recognize any limit to its jurisdiction. American expats are therefore in the uniquely unfavorable position of having arguably the worst tax policies and a government that can effectively enforce them. It is no wonder, then, why a record number of Americans gave up their citizenship last quarter to escape these onerous requirements. There is, however, another way besides death and renunciation to legally escape US income taxes, thanks to the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico." Continue reading →
