Undercover agent sneaks past TSA at Newark Airport with ‘bomb’ in pants

“Despite undergoing a pat-down search, a federal agent was able to sneak past Transportation Security Administration agents at Newark Airport last month with a simulated explosive device in his pant, an unnamed source told The New York Post.  ‘This episode once again demonstrates how Newark Airport is the Ground Zero of TSA failures,’ the source reportedly said.   The TSA did not confirm whether the incident took place, telling the Post that it ‘regularly conducts covert testing’ of security and does not disclose details about those operations.”

Rodmania in North Korea

276426_44357672795_506555521_q2

“The evidence only goes to show that the U.S. government rarely looks at itself in the mirror when pillorying and pummeling foreign countries. The United States does not need to befriend Kim Jong Un and the North Koreans—Dennis Rodman can do that. What it needs to do is disengage from the South Korean peninsula and let the now rich South Korea defend itself. North Korea will be much less prone to threaten the U.S. if it is not defending South Korea.”

Anthony Gregory: Obama’s Persecution of Bradley Manning

276426_44357672795_506555521_q2

“The word ‘hero’ is thrown a lot quite a bit, but Manning surely fits the bill. He put his life and liberty at risk to expose what he viewed as very wrong. He exposed the mistreatment of prisoners and murderous strikes conducted by the Bush administration in Iraq and the Obama administration in Afghanistan. He has already paid a price most of us will never know, and the rest of his life he might very well be destroyed. He sacrificed everything for his country, for innocent victims of the U.S. government, and for the cause of truth.  His best hope might be that some day a president pardons him.”

Rand Paul’s Misplaced Celebration

hornberger2

“Neither Bush nor Obama have ever claimed the authority to assassinate innocent Americans. The authority they have always claimed has been to assassinate guilty Americans (and guilty foreigners)—that is, those people who are guilty of being terrorists. Well, guess who decides whether a person is a terrorist. You got it! The president makes that determination. And once he decides that a person is a terrorist in his global ‘war on terrorism,’ that’s the end of the discussion. Under our post-9/11 system of government, neither the president nor the military nor the CIA is required to explain, justify, or even acknowledge the assassination.”

McCain calls Paul, Cruz, Amash ‘wacko birds’ after CIA director filibuster

“Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is continuing to criticize his fellow Republicans for their filibuster of incoming CIA Director John O. Brennan over drone policy. In an interview with the Huffington Post, McCain referred to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) as ‘wackos.’  McCain and Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) took strong exception to the filibuster, saying they support the possible use of drones to prevent terrorist attacks anywhere in the world. Some Republicans have privately worried that the high-profile stand, while garnering a lot of positive attention, will ultimately be bad for the party.”

Massachusetts cops reinstated with back pay after testing positive for cocaine

“Officers Ronnie Jones, George Downing, Shawn Harris, Richard Beckers, Jacqueline McGowan and Walter Washington each had very different explanations as to why there might have been cocaine detected in their hair follicles, yet all were summarily fired in the last decade. The board’s ruling reinstates them to their jobs with back pay dating to October 2010.  Reasons for the presence of cocaine given by officers included a recent prescription of lidocaine, living near a crackhead, keeping drug evidence in the same pocket as food and accidental physical contact after mistaking the drug for powder from a doughnut.”

Milwaukee police officer convicted of stealing money while responding to burglary

“A Milwaukee police officer has been fired after his conviction for stealing cash from a convenience store where he had responded to investigate a burglary.  According to the criminal complaint, the owner of Hopkins Food Mart at N. 46th St. and Hopkins Ave. had reported a burglary, and Howell came to take a report. The owner showed Howell a drawer with cash that was not taken during the burglary, and Howell later went back to the drawer and took some of the money. His actions were recorded on store surveillance video.  Upon his arrest, Howell admitted taking about $200 and said he did so because he was behind on his rent.”

Charges Dropped Against Innocent Man: Video Evidence Shows Officers Planted Drugs On Him

Logo-3

“A man who claims a police officer planted drugs on him will have the charges dismissed one day before his case was set to go to trial.  But the DeKalb County Solicitor General’s Office said the dismissal has nothing to do with a surveillance video Alphonzo Eleby said proves the officer set him up.  His attorney said surveillance video from the location shows the officer call the officer guarding Eleby over to the SUV he had been searching.  As she searches the vehicle, Zenobia Waters said the video shows the officer circle back to her client and toss marijuana next to him. She said the officer then picks the drugs up and repositions them.”

Judge: Bozeman police intentionally erased audio in excessive force case

“A judge has found Bozeman police intentionally erased a portion of an audio recording made during a welfare check on a man who claims officers used excessive force against him.  Soheil Jesse Verdi claims the officers caused him to fall and injure his skull when they used a stun gun against him in 2007.  One of the officers was wearing a microphone.  Attorneys for Verdi said there is a missing audio segment. U.S. District Judge Richard Anderson agreed with Verdi in a ruling last month the segment was intentionally erased.”
