CIA agents training Syrian rebels since late 2012

Posted on by

“The CIA and US special operations forces have been training Syrian rebels for months, since long before President Barack Obama announced plans to arm the opposition, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.  Training for rebel forces covers the use of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons and has been carried out at bases in Jordan and Turkey since late last year.  The two-week courses, for about 20 to 45 fighters at a time, began last November at a new US base in the desert in southwest Jordan, it said. The report came days after the Obama administration announced it had approved the arming of Syrian rebels.”

Alabama man sentenced to prison for tweeting ‘let’s kill the president’

Posted on by

“U.S. District Judge C. Lynwood Smith Jr. sentenced 26-year-old Jarvis Britton of Birmingham to one year in prison for threatening the life of Obama. He must serve three years on probation after finishing the prison term.  Britton pleaded guilty in March to threatening to kill, kidnap or inflict bodily harm on the president by tweeting the message, ‘Let’s kill the president. F.E.A.R.,’ in September. He received a warning from the Secret Service in June, but continued to make the threats. ‘Serious question? If you knew about a terrorist group planning to kill the president, would you tell? I kinda wanna see if they can! F.E.A.R,’ he tweeted on September 19, 2012.”

Post on Facebook and be damned

Posted on by

“Given that no mosques were burnt down in Portsmouth following the above Facebook post, it appears that the friends of 24-year-old Michaela Turner assumed that she was drunk. And they’d have been right – the young mum was indeed a few sheets to the wind. Sadly, Portsmouth police did not approach Turner’s drunk Facebook musings in the sober manner of her friends. No, the police decided to charge Turner under Section 127 of the Communication Act 2003. And last week, Turner was handed an eight-week suspended jail sentence.  The case of Turner is not unique. The police’s monitoring of ‘community tension’ on Facebook has led to arrests all over the country.”

Military Officer Reads Liberty Arguments, Has Second Thoughts, Retires

Posted on by

“In the spring of 2012 I finally got my wish. I was going to lead young men in combat. My battalion was deploying to Afghanistan. I left my wife behind in tears because duty called. I was one of the good guys, I thought.  My views on war changed drastically during the deployment. It took me getting shot at and shooting back, getting blown up and witnessing first-hand the physical and mental devastation of war. I saw that devastation on the Afghans and on the men in my battalion.  I ended my military career two months ago. I sit here now on my couch in California battling the remnants of my experiences.”

Police Chief Mark Kessler: Academy trains officers to treat everyone like a criminal

Police Chief Mark Kessler: Academy trains officers to treat everyone like a criminal

“‘When I go through the police academy, they treat everyone that you come in contact with is a criminal. Everyone with a firearm is out to kill you. That’s what they teach us at the academy.’ He continued, ‘I have a real hard time swallowing that.’ ‘That’s why you have all these young police officers that graduate from these academies and they come out and they want to kick butt and take names, and ruin lives, over nonsense. They terrorize people over a turn signal, or having a brake light out. They want to search your car right away, they want to demonize the American people, the average citizen, the law-abiding citizen.'”

Police Barge Into Home To Make Arrest Over The Length Of Grass

“A Turtle Creek woman recorded police, when they came to her door, demanded she show identification then followed her inside. ‘I didn’t want to tell them anything,’ Robyn Ruckman said.  Police from Turtle Creek, The Housing Authority and East Pittsburgh showed up at Ruckman’s door, looking for her landlord. They had a warrant for Roben Edwards for Failure to Maintain property.  Ruckman recorded the officers as they told her to get her ID. She can be seen closing the door and asking the officers if they can wait outside. On the video, you hear one officer respond ‘No, I can’t wait here because I think you’re trying to avoid us.'”

Putin supports bill granting amnesty to white-collar criminals

Posted on by

“Putin said the new law would cover only those who committed business-related crimes for the first time and not be applied to repeat offenders.  The amnesty has been heavily backed by Russia’s business community as well as human rights figures who argue that bureaucrats use complex laws to hound entrepreneurs and jail those who refuse to pay heavy bribes.  In a keynote address to the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum, Putin also unveiled a $13.7-billion stimulus package designed to help Russia spend its way out of an economic slump that threatens to reach recession by the end of the year.”
