EFF reported on Monday that the DHS plan

appears to be working its way through DHS in the wake of regulations from the Department of Justice that require all federal agencies – including DHS and its components such as ICE – to collect DNA from individuals arrested for federal crimes as well as “from non-United States persons who are detained under the authority of the United States,” whether or not they have been involved in criminal activity.

Let’s make one thing clear – the manual primarily deals with enemy combatants captured and detained in foreign prison camps run by the U.S. Military. However, another thing that is just as clear from reading the manual in full is the fact that it also applies to citizens detained within the United States, whether they be DCs (displaced citizens) or “civilian internees,” in other words citizens who are detained for, “security reasons, for protection, or because he or she committed an offense against the detaining power.”

Firstly, throughout the manual there are scores of references to how the U.S. Army would work together with the DHS, ICE and FEMA (page 24) to implement the policies “within U.S. territory” as part of “civil support operations” in the aftermath of “man-made disasters, accidents, terrorist attacks and incidents in the U.S. and its territories.” (page 38).

In the State of Tennessee, highway robbery in the name of “asset forfeiture” is commonplace — and Monterey PD Officer Larry Bates, who stole $22,000 from New Jersey businessman George Reby, is the embodiment of this unfathomably corrupt practice.

Reby, an insurance adjuster, was stopped for speeding by Bates on Interstate 40. Like too many honest and innocent people, Reby made the mistake of answering questions posed by the armed stranger who materialized at the driver’s side door.

The top-secret US National Security Agency is not required to reveal any deal it may have with Google to help protect against cyber attacks, an appeals court ruled Friday.

The US Court of Appeals in Washington upheld a lower court decision that said the NSA need not confirm or deny any relationship with Google, because its governing statutes allow it keep such information secret.

The ruling came in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from a public interest group, which said the public has a right to know about any spying on citizens.

The trial of the alleged masterminds of 9/11, which began last week at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will address some of the most profound issues of our era. Are natural rights truly inalienable, as Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, or can the government take them away from those it hates or fears? Does the Constitution protect the rights of all persons who come in contact with the government, or does it protect only certain Americans, as the government argues? Can the government deny a person due process by changing the rules retroactively, or is the Constitution's guarantee of due process to all persons truly a guarantee?

These are all questions that the government does not want to answer.  But it should know better, because by structuring the trial after the crime was committed and by establishing retroactive rules – which are prohibited by the Constitution – that have never before been used in any American civilian or military court, Congress has created and the Obama administration will conduct a trial that will resemble none in our history.

Facing the loss of their business through the institutionalized theft called “eminent domain,” Norfolk, Virginia residents Bob Wilson and Kelly Dickinson erected a large protest sign on their property – and now face threats of fines of $1,000 a day for publicizing their plight.

The Norfolk Housing and Redevelopment Authority (NHRA), a seven-person soviet appointed by the City Council, “has been busy condemning private property in the Hampton Boulevard area of Norfolk and handing those properties over to Old Dominion University,” reports the Fredericksburg Freelance-Star. Among the properties slated for seizure is the Central Radio Co., a long-established radio construction and repair business owned and operated by Wilson and Dickinson.

Like other criminal juntas involved in the eminent domain racket, the NHRA has designated coveted properties as “blighted.” More than 100 homes and businesses have been claimed in the seizure rampage, which is being conducted on behalf of the State-funded Old Dominion University. The tract where Central Radio is found hasn’t been thus designated, but it sits inside several parcels that have been condemned – so the land-grab soviet has announced its intention to confiscate that property as well.

Mark Twain said "if you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." Dostoyevsky understood that "the man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others."

So why the shifting of feet? Either the planet is cooling or it is warming. Once one tells a lie, ten more have to be told and it gets difficult to keep track of falsehood. Ah, so then you bet on all the horses!

We're not sure if we are causing the planet to cool or warm, but it doesn't matter, either way we want a totalitarian world government to which all will offer carbon indulgences!

NC Senate District 18 has three Republican candidates in the primary election.  There’s one clear choice – Glen Bradley.  Bradley is the only candidate with any experience in public office.  In fact Bradley won his seat in House District 49 even though he was outspent by his Democratic opponent by a margin of 7 to 1.... Far too many politicians proclaim their support for the Constitution but their “support” translates into a campaign slogan devoid of substance.  Not so with Bradley.  As a member of the NC House he took his oaths to uphold the US Constitution and NC Constitution seriously.
