Freedom Train Rolls? Legitimate ‘Color’ Revolution in Brazil

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“The Free Brazil Movement, a growing force that is more focused than the 2013 unrest that expressed a wide range of middle-class anger. Brazil’s new wave of protests are seen as a right-leaning movement clearly channeled against Rousseff and her Workers’ Party. A widening kickback scandal at Petrobras, the state oil company, is one of several complaints undermining the administration. Kataguiri and others are striking a chord with Brazilians fed up with soaring inflation, a high and growing tax burden, and those who blame government intervention for hobbling Brazil’s economy, which grew just 0.1 percent last year and is expected to shrink in 2015.”

US Government Moves To Seize 139-Year-Old Family Gold Mines

Posted on by

“Earlier this month, officials with the Bureau of Land Management sent a letter ordering local miners working at the Sugar Pine Mining Claim in the Galice Mining District near Merlin, OR to vacate the property that locals have mined for the past 139 years.  The dispute centers around the Sugar Pine Mining Claim itself, which Congress set aside for local miners in 1876, allowing them to establish their own rules and regulations.  The stakes are high, as The Blaze notes that the Galice Mining District has already yielded over 10 million ounces of gold, with experts saying that 90 million more ounces are available to be extracted.”

‘Civil war’ divides families in row over Greek goldmine

Posted on by

“The arrival in January of a new leftist government that opposes the investment has sparked a mobilisation among Hellas Gold employees afraid of losing their jobs.  Earlier this month, riot police were sent in when the rival groups came close to clashing in an oak forest between the villages of Stratoni, where Hellas Gold has its base, and Ierissos, whose inhabitants mostly oppose the project.  Hellas Gold plans to invest 1.3 billion euros in the area overall, and extract 9.6 million ounces of gold.  The previous conservative government had supported the investment, arguing that it would create hundreds of jobs in the recession-hit country where the unemployment rate now stands at over 25 percent.”

Nick Giambruno: Securing Your Assets When Financial Privacy Is Dead

Posted on by

“You never hear of financially sound countries, like Switzerland, Singapore, or Hong Kong, advocating privacy-killing measures like FATCA. You never hear their governments denouncing the supposed ‘danger’ of tax havens. It’s only the bankrupt states drowning in debt – like the US, France and the UK – that have become hostile to privacy. The hostiles have won. Practically speaking, financial privacy is dead. Given what has happened, it’s only prudent to assume that sooner or later all the details of your financial life will come to rest in a government computer – if they’re not sitting there already. You should plan accordingly.”

Kansas AG Seeks Invalidation Of Voter-Approved Marijuana Ordinance

Posted on by

“State Attorney General Derek Schmidt filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court Friday seeking to halt the city of Wichita from enacting a voter-approved initiative lessening marijuana possession penalties.  Fifty-four percent of Wichita voters approved the measure last Tuesday. The municipal ordinance reduces penalties for first-time marijuana possession offenses (up to one ounce) to a civil infraction punishable by a $50.00 fine. It also prohibits the Wichita Police Department and the judges of the Wichita Municipal Court from reporting convictions under the new ordinance to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. State law punishes marijuana possession by up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine.”

Federal Judge Upholds Marijuana’s Schedule I Status

Posted on by

“A federal judge has rejected a motion challenging the constitutionality of cannabis’ classification as a Schedule I prohibited substance without any accepted medical utility.  Judge Kimberly J. Mueller of the Federal District Court in Sacramento, California issued her oral ruling during a 15-minute court hearing on Tuesday. Judge Mueller heard closing arguments in the case in early February, but she had postponed ruling on the matter until this week. Her written opinion was not available at the time of her ruling.  In October, experts for the defense presented evidence over a five-day period arguing that the scientific literature is not supportive of the plant’s present categorization.”

FDR Spied on Leonard Read

Posted on by

hornberger1

“Last night I was reading a book entitled The Emergency State: America’s Pursuit of Absolute Security at All Costs by David Unger. My eyes bulged out when I came across the following sentence: ‘In 1941 Attorney General Francis Biddle, following Roosevelt’s new guidelines, approved FBI wiretapping of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.’  Leonard E. Read had served as head of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce before he founded FEE in 1946.  Why would FDR and his goons want to spy on the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce?  They believed that Read was a potential ‘subversive’ and that the Los Angeles Chamber constituted a potential threat to ‘national security.'”

Chicago police detain Americans at abuse-laden ‘black site’

Posted on by

“The Chicago police department operates an off-the-books interrogation compound, rendering Americans unable to be found by family or attorneys while locked inside what lawyers say is the domestic equivalent of a CIA black site. The facility, a nondescript warehouse on Chicago’s west side known as Homan Square, has long been the scene of secretive work by special police units.  Interviews with local attorneys and one protester who spent the better part of a day shackled in Homan Square describe operations that deny access to basic constitutional rights. The secretive warehouse is the latest example of Chicago police practices that echo the detention abuses of the US war on terrorism.”

Texas Man Serving 17 Days in Jail for Overgrown Lawn

Posted on by

“Rick Yoes turned himself into the county jail last night in compliance with a warrant issued for his arrest after receiving a fine of $1,700 for having an overgrown lawn in September of last year. Unable to pay the fine Rick took every vacation day he accrued, made arrangements for a replacement, and surrendered himself to jail.  I did some research, and  found a regulation for Grand Prairie that said lawns can be up to 12 inches in height. Rick’s daughter Angel said this new regulation wasn’t familiar to her. Mr. Yoes may be locked up for nothing, and this may come as a surprise to some but more often than you would care to think people are incarcerated under false pretenses.”

Death penalty for grandmother convicted in girl’s running death?

Posted on by

“A jury is considering whether to recommend life or death for the Alabama grandmother they convicted of running her granddaughter to death.  The panel will hear additional evidence as it decides whether to recommend execution or life without parole for the murder of 9-year-old Savannah Hardin. The judge has the final say.  Prosecutors want death. They say Garrard brutally made the girl run for hours as punishment for a lie until she collapsed into seizures.  The defense is asking jurors to spare the woman. She’s married and has eight surviving grandchildren, and her lawyer says there’s no way she realized the consequences of her actions with only a ninth grade education.”
