Mandatory TSA Pat Downs At Super Bowl

"The Super Bowl’s designation as a level one National Special Security Event (NSSE) means that the spectacle is now an annual showcase for America’s post-9/11 descent into a security-obsessed police state, despite the fact that statistically, Americans are more likely to be killed by peanut allergies, bee stings and bath tubs than they are by terrorists. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano also indicated that TSA 'screeners' would conduct at least some of the pat downs. Mobile gamma ray scanners will also be used to check truck deliveries just as they were last year at the Lucas Oil Stadium." Continue reading →

Judge Napolitano Versus Jesse Jackson On Bringing Homeland Security To Chicago

"Jesse Jackson is calling for Homeland Security employees to be deployed in Rahmaland to help stop the daily murders in that city. Judge Napolitano smacks down Mayor Rahm's buddy in this video. The entire Homeland Security apparatus is very disconcerting. It is for all practical purposes a federal police force looking for a cause that will trigger it to be deployed into the country. Jackson's call for HS in Rhamaland is an early attempt to pull it off. It likely won't go very far, but Homeland's time will come." Continue reading →

Extraordinary rendition report claims 54 countries ‘offered covert support’ of CIA torture operation

"The full extent of the CIA’s extraordinary rendition programme has been laid bare with the publication of a report showing there is evidence that more than a quarter of the world’s governments covertly offered support. A 213-page report compiled by the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI), a New York-based human rights organisation, says that at least 54 countries co-operated with the global kidnap, detention and torture operation that was mounted after 9/11, many of them in Europe. So widespread and extensive was the participation of governments across the world that it is now clear the CIA could not have operated its programme without their support, according to the OSJI."

The USS Liberty, Israel & President Johnson’s Order to Destroy the USS Liberty

"The USS Liberty encompasses far more than a murderous psychopathic American president resorting to hideously evil deeds to get re-elected. In addition to ordering the total destruction of the USS Liberty and sending 294 Americans to a watery grave in the Mediterranean Sea, LBJ also ordered the nuclear bombing of Cairo, an event specifically designed to create a nuclear war by blaming the entire USS Liberty affair on Russia or Egypt. US planes were on emergency standby orders as pilots waited on the runways in their planes armed with nuclear weapons. The nuclear bombing of Cairo was called off only 3 minutes before the nuclear bomb drops." Continue reading →

In Writing, the Justification Used by Obama to Kill Americans

"The 16-page memo, a copy of which was obtained by NBC News, provides new details about the legal reasoning behind one of the Obama administration’s most secretive and controversial polices: its dramatically increased use of drone strikes against al-Qaida suspects, including those aimed at American citizens. But the confidential Justice Department 'white paper' introduces a more expansive definition of self-defense or imminent attack than described by Brennan or Holder in their public speeches. It refers, for example, to what it calls a 'broader concept of imminence' than actual intelligence about any ongoing plot against the U.S. homeland." Continue reading →

How Regulations Squeeze Small Competitors for the Benefit of the Banksters

"An article at Investment News reports on the decline of independent small brokerage firms. These firms are squeezed by new regulations. The large firms have teams of lawyers that can deal with the changing regulation, not so for the smaller firms, so they get squeezed out of business. It's this type of regulation that results in the rich getting richer and others falling behind." Continue reading →

US Stem Cell Company Heads to Mexico After FDA Reprimand

"The attack on stem cell research has driven at least one regenerative medicine company to seek friendlier climes south of the border. Six months after the federal government forced it to stop its treatments, the Houston-based Celltex Therapeutics moved its operations to Mexico to avoid the long arm of the law. In moving to Mexico, Celltex enters a country where stem cell research is not as heavily regulated as in the U.S, though a facility is required to have an International Health Department Permit (COFEPRIS). The permit allocates the use of stem-cell types beyond those in the U.S." Continue reading →

Biden Lies about Gun Control, Of Course

"Vice President Joe Biden insists that private ownership of so-called assault weapons should be forbidden because police 'are outgunned on the street by the bad guys and the proliferation of these weapons.' In fact, duty-related deaths of police officers declined in 2012 as compared to the previous year, continuing a decades-long trend. And there wasn’t a single instance in which a police officer was killed by someone using a so-called assault weapon. Many – if not most – of the so-called assault weapons used in crime are stolen from the police. Yet the government continues to send military-grade weaponry to local police departments."
