“Around 6 a.m. he says he came up to the living room and saw 15 FBI SWAT agents coming inside, guns drawn.  Hughley says he looked up and saw his daughter standing outside her bedroom in the hallway. Then he heard gunfire.  Myasia was treated at a local hospital for a flesh wound and released. The Hughley’s say none of them were armed an in fact, none of them own guns. They were never told why their home was raided.”

“A police officer in King County, Washington opened fire on a mentally disabled man on Thursday, believing he was brandishing a gun, but later discovering the object was actually made out of Legos.  The Seattle Times reported that the incident occurred in the morning hours, after several motorists reported a man waiving a gun at cars near a roadway.  Police told the paper they’d encountered him before, and that he’s got a ‘fascination with guns.’ When the first officer arrived on the scene, he did not comply with her commands, so she opened fire.”

Man with strange watch arrested at Oakland airport

Posted on by

“A bomb squad arrived within five minutes and determined there were no explosive materials in the watch, Nelson said. The checkpoint was closed while officers secured the area.  McGann was taken to Santa Rita Jail in Dublin where he was charged with possessing materials to make an explosive device, sheriff’s officials said. He was still in custody Friday night and could not be reached for comment.  McGann told Transportation Security Administration officers that he’s an artist and the watch is art, Nelson said.”

Feds Expand Definition of “Cash” To Include Stored Value Cards

Posted on by

“Bitcoin and similar digital currencies make FinCEN’s currency reporting rules, and their expansion to encompass TPADs, obsolete before they’re even finalized. But don’t think for a minute that technological innovation will prevent these rules from coming into effect. Whether the initiative actually accomplishes anything is much less important than whether it appears to be accomplishing something. And it’s simply inconceivable to ask whether the wars are worth fighting at all, and if we should simply allow individuals to move their assets anywhere in the world, as they see fit, without government imposed restrictions.”

How The Alternative Minimum Tax Could Slam You

“This year, unless Congress applies a new patch, the AMT will apply to nearly half of people with incomes of $75,000 to $100,000. Without action, an estimated 27 million more tax filers could find themselves paying an average of $3,700 more in taxes for 2012.  And yes, the financial hit applies to this tax year. Even if the new, incoming Congress applies an AMT patch after January, experts say it will be an accounting nightmare. It’s difficult to undo the tax once the filing season has begun in January, and at the least, it would result in long processing delays of all returns.”

Sanctions: More Deadly Than The Atomic Bomb?

Posted on by

“Comparing the effects of sanctions vs nuclear bombs. Contrasting the fatalities of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima to those of the sanctions imposed on Iraq in the 1990s. ‘Genocide masquerading as policy’ as one congressman put it. Should the US do the same to Iran? Are sanctions a legitimate ‘diplomatic tool’ to avert war?”

Gaza, an impoverished and besieged sliver of land

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Gaza-explosions-via-AFP2.jpg

“Some 1.6 million Palestinians live in the cramped territory spread over 362 square kilometres (140 square miles) along the Mediterranean, making it one of the most densely populated parts of the world.  The economic and humanitarian situation in the enclave has been precarious since Israel imposed an economic embargo after Hamas seized power in 2007. Under its blockade, Israel controls all goods entering the Gaza Strip, except those smuggled through tunnels under the border with Egypt. The blockade also involves a blanket ban on all weapons and munitions.”

U.S. gives ‘full backing’ to Israel while urging de-escalation of Gaza violence

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Gaza-home-via-AFP2.jpg

“The Israeli ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren, says the US has given his government a free hand in its assault on Gaza as the Israeli cabinet ordered a large call up of military reserves, prompting fears of a ground invasion.  The Palestinian delegation to Washington condemned the US response to the crisis as ‘biased and weak’, and called on the White House to stop Israel using American-made weapons against civilians. It also described as ‘shameful’ what it called the justification of the murder of Palestinians by countries supporting Israeli actions, including Britain.”
