War Veteran with PTSD Faces Life in Prison for Pot

“US Marine Corps combat veteran Kristoffer Lewandowski, who served in three tours of duty overseas including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, reportedly faces up to life in prison for pot charges connected to a June 2014 raid on his Geronimo, OK home that occurred after his wife and neighbors called police to get him help for a post-traumatic stress disorder flare-up. However, rather than providing mental health resources, police responding on the scene searched Lewandowski’s home for contraband and found six marijuana plants, weighing in at less than an ounce of plant matter in total, and charged him with, among other offenses, felony marijuana cultivation.”

Jade Helm, Terrorist Attacks, Surveillance and Other Fairy Tales

“It remains to be seen whether Jade Helm 15 proves to be a thinly veiled military plot to take over the country or is merely a ‘routine’ exercise for troops, albeit a blatantly intimidating flexing of the military’s muscles.  The problem arises when you add Jade Helm to the list of other troubling developments that have taken place over the past 30 years or more. Suddenly, the overall picture seems that much more sinister. Clearly, there’s a larger agenda at work here, and it’s one the American people had better clue into before it’s too late to do anything about it. Call me paranoid, but I think we’d better take James Madison’s advice and ‘take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties.'”

Lindsey Graham: Send 20,000 Troops to Iraq, Syria to Defeat ISIS

“GOP presidential candidate and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has called for sending 20,000 troops to Iraq and Syria to defeat the Islamic State.  Graham believes the administration should increase the number of military advisers in Iraq from 3,500 to 10,000 to include special operations forces to help the Iraqi military on the front lines and improve the accuracy of airstrikes.  He said that a similar number of troops should be sent to Syria to assist regional forces and combat the Islamic State (ISIS). He reserved particular criticism for Hillary Clinton and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, both of whom have suggested that the United States could avoid deploying troops to the region.”

Obama orders more troops to Iraq to guide fight against Islamic State

“U.S. officials hope that a strengthened American presence on the ground in Anbar will help the Iraqi military devise and carry out a counter-attack to retake the provincial capital Ramadi, which insurgents seized last month in an onslaught that further exposed the shortcomings of the Iraqi army.  The U.S. advisers, who will be injected into the heart of one of the most hotly contested areas of the Islamic State campaign, will offer tactical advice to Iraqi officers on how to conduct their operations, the Pentagon said.   Obama also ordered ‘the expedited delivery of essential equipment and materiel’ to Iraqi forces, including Kurdish peshmerga troops and Sunni fighters operating under Iraqi command.”

U.S. House defeats bid to withdraw troops from Iraq

“The House voted 288-139 to defeat the concurrent resolution, which would have required Obama to remove the troops within 30 days, or by the end of 2015 if the administration determined it was not safe to do so within the 30-day timeframe.  The ‘yes’ votes were cast by 120 Democrats and 19 Republicans, while the ‘no’s’ came from 222 Republicans and 66 Democrats.  The lawmakers said they hoped their introduction of the measure, allowed under the War Powers Authority, would lead to a broader debate on a formal authorization for the use of military force for the campaign against Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria.”

Policymakers Call for Division, Destruction and Occupation of Syria

“The signed and dated open-conspiracy to divide, destroy, then incrementally occupy a sovereign nation thousands of miles from America’s shores serves as a sobering example of how dangerous and enduring modern imperialism is. The document openly admits that the US has provided billions in arming and training militants fed into the devastating and increasingly regional conflict. It admits that the US maintains – and should expand – operations in Jordan and NATO-member Turkey to provide even more weapons, cash, and fighters to the already catastrophic conflict. It then recounts the rise of ISIS, but fails to account from where its money, cash, and weapons came.”

Pentagon Paying ISIS-Linked ‘Rebels’ $400 per Month to ‘Eventually’ Fight Assad

“The Pentagon announced Monday that it has begun paying ‘moderate’ Syrian rebels up to $400 per month to fight ISIS and eventually the Syrian government.  The program, deemed ‘critical’ by Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter, aims to equip as many as 5,400 fighters within the next 12 months, reports USA Today.  According to Pentagon spokeswoman Elissa Smith, roughly 6,000 Syrians have already expressed interest in the program, with more than half preparing to be vetted. Recently declassified Pentagon documents confirm Western governments’ regional support of al-Qaeda, a terrorist organization now deceptively labeled ‘moderate.'”

Pentagon report predicted its support for Islamist rebels would create ISIS

“According to the newly declassified US document, the Pentagon foresaw the likely rise of the ‘Islamic State’ as a direct consequence of this strategy, and warned that it could destabilize Iraq. Despite anticipating that Western, Gulf state and Turkish support for the ‘Syrian opposition’ — which included al-Qaeda in Iraq — could lead to the emergence of an ‘Islamic State’ in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the document provides no indication of any decision to reverse the policy of support to the Syrian rebels. On the contrary, the emergence of an al-Qaeda affiliated ‘Salafist Principality’ as a result is described as a strategic opportunity to isolate Assad.”

Philip Giraldi: Where Are They Now?

“The United States already has by far the per capita largest prison population of any developed country but I am probably one of the few Americans who on this Independence Day would like to see a lot more people in prison, mostly drawn from politicians and senior bureaucrats who have long believed that their status makes them untouchable, giving them license to steal and even to kill. The sad fact is that while whistleblowers have been imprisoned for revealing government criminality, no one in the federal bureaucracy has ever actually been punished for the crimes of torture, kidnapping and assassination committed during the George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama presidencies.”

How To Create Your Very Own ETF

“The new kid on the do-it-yourself investing block is Motif Investing. Akin to ETFs, Motif’s investment options exist as baskets of stocks that mirror certain themes or motifs. For example, let’s say you believe that clean eating is the way of the future and you expect it to grow significantly. Based on this, you can select a basket of stocks that specialize in the production, marketing, distribution and selling of healthy and organic foods. Motif gives investors the ability to build a diversified set of leading companies that are expected to lead in their respective industries. Another advantage of Motif is very low investing fees relative to comparable investments.”
