DaJuawn Wallace was on a late night drug store run to get medicine for his sick girlfriend when he was targeted for a traffic stop. Saginaw Valley State University Police Officer Leon Wilson had seen a car driving on the sidewalk on the SVSU campus earlier that night. Despite not knowing the make nor the model of the car, Wilson decided to pull over Wallace, citing that he “fit the description.” “I was uncertain about the make and the model of the vehicle, but this vehicle looked like the same color and was leaving the immediate area,” Wilson wrote. As Wilson turned on his lights to pull Wallace over, Wallace decided that it would be far safer to wait to pull over until ...
Kelly Thomas’ Last Words Before Police Beat Him To Death, Four Years Ago

It was four years ago today that Fullerton, California police sadistically beat a homeless man to death. In his final moments of life, before he lost consciousness, Kelly Thomas cried out for his father 31 times. At least 26 times he yelled “help me” and cried “I’m sorry” 15 times during the lethal beating. Thomas responded “OK” to police, to tell them he was complying, a full 29 times. He politely used words like “Sir” and “Please” when he spoke to the officers while they were beating him to death. In spite of the fact that this beating was captured on vide, the two former Fullerton California police officers walked free, found ...

On December 21, Port Orange Police Officer Silvio Portillo was driving his patrol car at 15 mph above the posted speed limit when he struck and killed a motorcyclist. Father of two and Navy Veteran, Andrew McIlvain, 39, was riding his motorcycle as Officer Portillo was looking down at his laptop on the way to a “non-priority” noise complaint. When Portillo looked up, it was too late, he was driving over this unsuspecting man. Two weeks later, McIlvain succumbed to his severe injuries, and he died on January 4. The police even had the audacity to attempt to justify this officer’s reckless driving by releasing a statement that McIlvain didn’t have his ...
Nearly 1 in 4 People Killed By Police Are Mentally Ill, More Are Just Distraught

By Amanda Warren Washington Post has decided to take details of officer-involved shootings and compile this year's data to detect patterns. One pattern that soon became clear: the significant amount of mentally unstable people who are shot on site. Last year, I wrote about one such instance in "Naked? Acting Weird? On-site Execution by Police." I only wanted to show that strange behavior does not warrant a threat or a reason to kill (especially when considering that there are still less-than-lethal methods available). It looks like Washington Post agrees for the most part, when it comes a volatile situation possibly made worse by volatile reactions.From the Washington Post ...

A marine corps veteran faces life in prison for cultivating marijuana plants while he lived in Oklahoma, plants which he relied on to treat severe post-traumatic stress disorder. Last year, police raided the home of 33-year-old Kristoffer Lewandowski, a military father of three who was honorably discharged for medical reasons after serving multiple tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Kristoffer’s wife Whitney reveals her husband, fearing liver damage from consuming a massive amount of pharmaceutical drugs, was successfully transitioning to marijuana as a preferred treatment. “He was just using it… He couldn’t get any, and, of course, we’re a military family, ...
Former Cop Admitted to Sexually Assaulting a Toddler But This Sicko Won’t Be Going to Prison

Houston, TX — In November of 2013, John Van Trump was accused of sexually assaulting a girl younger than six-years-old on or before July 2010. Since the girl was younger than six, his charge was considered a super crime. The super crime law came from a tragic case out of Florida which eventually became known as Jessica’s Law. Jessica’s law and the Texas law like it, are designed to protect potential victims and reduce a sexual offender’s ability to re-offend by punishing the perpetrators with steep sentences. Trump was facing a minimum sentence of 25 years in jail and the potential for life. “Unfortunately, we are going to see a lot more of ...
The national government gives no dignity, but plenty of preference, tyranny, and death

If there ever was a week in our Union’s history demonstrating that the national government must always be suspected of being the enemy of Americans, their liberty, and their social cohesion, this past week surely was the one. Barack Obama and his party redoubled the national government’s marked preference for Black Americans, and not only by pretending that more Blacks are killed by racist Whites, than Whites by racist Blacks. As troubling, they also encouraged and then unleashed what can only be described as a lynch mob bent on destroying a historical symbol that means — and should mean — something important, tangible, and worth honoring to many more Americans than the ...
Nail Salon Owner Sues For Return Of Life Savings Seized By DEA Agents At Airport

from the law-abiding-citizens-don't-carry-cash dept Here's something you see all too rarely -- not because the government's civil asset forfeiture programs aren't routinely abused -- but because it's a good way to spend lots of money fighting a losing battle. Vu Do, owner of two nail salons in New York City, is trying to retrieve nearly $44,000 -- his life savings which he had put together over twenty years -- taken from him by the DEA at the JFK airport. The complaint points out that Do has run two legitimate businesses in NYC for several years, and not once has he been arrested or even charged for violations of controlled substances laws. Nevertheless, the DEA took ...

Many think our government is for sale. However, by taking a look at the facts below provided by Open Secrets, it is easy to understand where they are coming from. Looking back at Friday the 12th, the House voted on Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), the controversial bill that gives power to the executive branch to negotiate treaties. TPA limits Congress’ ability to better a trade deal by subjecting members of Congress to 90 days of reviewing the trade agreement, prohibiting any amendments on the implementing legislation, and giving them an up or down vote. TPA passed with a mere 219-211 vote with only 218 needed to pass. The real shocker comes from the amount of money each ...

U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials are asking Burning Man organizers to provide "excessive" comforts such as flushing toilets, washers and dryers, and vanity mirrors in a compound for high-level government officials staying in Black Rock City.A Burning Man spokesman estimated the compound would cost the event more than $1 million, bringing its 2015 permit fees to about $5 million. The renderings of the compound obtained by the RGJ also show various accommodations set aside for VIP visitors but don't indicate who the visiting dignitaries will be. The request, unprecedented in Burning Man's history, has turned into a point of contention as organizers negotiate with ...

If someone told you that the U.S. government plotted terror attacks against targets on U.S. soil, that CIA had infiltrated the entirety of Western media and was using the media as a propaganda tool or that after World War II the U.S. secretly brought over a thousand Nazi scientists to the U.S to work on top secret projects for the federal government, people would likely say they were a wild conspiracy theorist. On the surface these, “conspiracy theories” sound like insane movie plots produced by Hollywood, but sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction – and much more ominous.

Judge Orders Cop To Return Seized $167,000 Taken From Man For ‘Driving Too Slow’

You know there is a problem when a police officer can literally steal thousands of dollars from you for no reason other than because you were “driving too slow.” This week, a federal judge agreed that this confiscation of personal funds was absolutely insane and illegal. That judge ordered the U.S. government to return $167,000 that was stolen by a Nevada police officer. The judge described the law enforcement and state government as having a clear “lack of candor” in this case. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that a Nevada state trooper stopped Straughn Gorman in his motor home on Interstate 80 back in January 2013. The reason? The officer alleged ...
An Illustrated Guide to Civil Asset Forfeiture

This cheerfully drawn comic from the Daily Signal does an excellent job highlighting the insanity of civil asset forfeiture. It begins with a quintessentially American premise: a young person setting out on his own, all wordly possessions in hand, to start a new life as an adult. Far be it from me to spoil the rest: If such stories seem unbelievable (it is a cartoon after all), be sure and check out the recent all-too-real stories of Joseph Rivers and Charles Clarke, for whom this cartoon surely hits too close to home. Even they are only the tip of the iceberg. New Mexico has taken the initiative to end this inherently abusive practice once and for all, and there are active reform efforts ...
Another Race Faker: South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley Lied About Being White — Rails Against ‘Voter Fraud’

Weeks after news broke that former NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal had lied about being black, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is coming under fire for lying about being white! For generations, people from all over the world have come to America in search of a new life and better opportunities for their children. But for ethnic minorities, becoming an integrated part of the melting pot can be easier said than done. However instead of grappling openly and honestly with the complexities of race, Haley took a shortcut — the prominent Republican, who has led crusades against voter fraud, falsified her voter registration form, claiming that she was a white woman. Governor Haley was born ...

Shona Banda Faces Decades in Prison Because Her Son Questioned Anti-Pot Propaganda

In Live Free or Die, a 2010 memoir recounting how cannabis oil saved her life, Shona Banda emphasizes the importance of "self-taught knowledge," acquired by constantly asking questions and "looking at all of the angles of any information given." Her son may have learned that lesson too well. Had he been less inquisitive, less prone to question authority, he might still be living with his mother, and she might not be facing criminal charges that could send her to prison for decades. Banda, a 38-year-old massage therapist who appeared in criminal court for the first time last week, is free on a $50,000 bond while her case is pending. She was able to pay ...
Marco Rubio Casts Deciding Vote For Obamatrade Without Even Reading It

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) cast the deciding vote for Obamatrade on Tuesday as it squeeked through the U.S. Senate 60-37, and his Senate office is still outright refusing to answer whether he even knew what he was voting on. Rubio, a Republican presidential candidate, was the deciding vote necessary for the U.S. Senate to clear the final 60-vote threshold and eventually, later this week, send to President Barack Obama’s desk the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) bill that would fast-track at least three highly secretive trade deals that Obama has been negotiating for years. TPA will, now that it’s going to pass, effectively ensure the congressional approval of the Trans Pacific ...

Mitch McConnell Aims To Ram Obamatrade Through Senate With No Amendments, Closed Debate

The U.S. Senate—often called the world’s most deliberative legislative body—will operate in a closed debate process with no amendments whatsoever allowed to the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) part of Obamatrade this week, as Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) engages in the exact same tactics he attacked his predecessor Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) for engaging. On Tuesday, any Republican senators who vote with McConnell in favor of cloture on TPA—which would provide the president fast-track authority to speed through Congress with little to no oversight at least three highly secretive trade deals—will be surrendering their right to criticize Reid’s ...
The Entire Copyright Monopoly Idea is Based on a Colossal Lie
Post Date: 2015-06-22 09:08:47 by Willie Green
3 Comments
The copyright monopoly was reinstated in Great Britain in 1710, after having lapsed in England in 1695. It was enacted because printers (not writers) insisted, that if they didn’t have exclusive rights to boost profitability, nothing would get printed. (Do note the difference between books getting written on one hand, and getting printed and distributed on the other. It was printers, not writers and authors, that drove the reinstatement of the copyright monopoly through the so-called Statute of Anne.) The Parliament of Great Britain accepted this premise, and thus, the social contract of the copyright monopoly was formed: “In return for providing the only service that can make ...
If Marijuana Causes Lots Of Crashes, Why Are They So Hard To Count?

Last year, during a congressional hearing on the threat posed by stoned drivers, a representative of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) was asked how many crash fatalities are caused by marijuana each year. “That’s difficult to say,” replied Jeff Michael, NHTSA’s associate administrator for research and program development. “We don’t have a precise estimate.” The most he was willing to affirm was that the number is “probably not” zero. Michael knows something that grandstanding politicians and anti-pot activists either do not understand or refuse to acknowledge: Although experiments show that marijuana impairs ...

To Save Obamatrade, Paul Ryan Hijacks Bill That Helps Firefighters, As Pelosi Did With Obamacare

The path of destruction House Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 58% is blazing to sneak Obamatrade past unsuspecting Americans is getting longer and wider. Now it’s become clear he’s using firefighters, of all people, to get it done. To engage in the complicated procedural chicanery needed to revive the once-dead Obamatrade, bringing its Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) portion back to life, Ryan needed to gut a previous bill that has passed the House and Senate and then insert Obamatrade into it. It’s actually a very similar process to how Obamacare passed the House. So, the bill Ryan chose was one that helps firefighters—and now those ...
