How did America’s police become a military force on the streets?

Posted on by

“How did we evolve from a country whose founding statesmen were adamant about the dangers of armed, standing government forces to a country where it has become acceptable for armed government agents dressed in battle garb to storm private homes in the middle of the night—not to apprehend violent fugitives or thwart terrorist attacks, but to enforce laws against nonviolent, consensual activities? How did a country pushed into a revolution by protest and political speech become one where protests are met with flash grenades, pepper spray and platoons of riot teams dressed like RoboCops?”

Bitcoins Seized By DEA

Posted on by

“The Drug Enforcement Administration posted an Official Notification that Bitcoin (i.e. property) belonging to Eric Daniel Hughes was seized for forfeiture pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881, because the property was used or acquired as a result of a violation of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. §§ 801 et seq.)  The DEA appears to have been the first agency to seize actual Bitcoins from an individual with this seizure.  Exactly how the Bitcoin was seized is not known as of this writing.  However, reading the top of the notice it appears that Mr. Hughes can request release of the seized property during the pendency of the forfeiture proceeding due to hardship.”

Australian Taxation Office targets Bitcoin users

Posted on by

“The Australian Taxation Office is taking aim at Bitcoin users who could be attracted to the burgeoning virtual currency by the possibility of hiding transactions and dodging tax.  Despite the ability to trade virtual currencies like Bitcoin anonymously, the ATO is confident it can track users in efforts to stop fraud. ‘Bitcoin is no more anonymous than physical cash and the ATO has experience in working with earlier forms of ­anonymous electronic money systems, and with physical cash, which are relevant for responding to new and emerging ­systems,’ ATO senior assistant ­com­missioner for the cash economy Michael Hardy told The Australian ­Financial Review.”

FBI: We Were Not Investigating Michael Hastings

“‘At no time was journalist Michael Hastings ever under investigation by the FBI,’ L.A. Field Office spokeswoman Laura Eimiller told the Burlington Free Press on Thursday. The L.A. Police Department said detectives have concluded no foul play was involved in the crash, also according to Burlington. LAPD spokesman Richard French said detectives did not share with his office the reasons behind their conclusion that the crash was an accident.”

Xerxes Is On The Move

Posted on by

“At a cost of ‘between $60 million to $100 million,’ ‘President Obama goes to sub-Saharan Africa this month,’ reports the usually adoring Washington Post. A good part of the comitatus—’the sprawling apparatus that encompasses … the emperor’s household and its personnel’—is going along for the ride.  Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bulletproof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the first family will stay. Fighter jets will fly in shifts, giving 24-hour coverage over the president’s airspace, so they can intervene quickly if an errant plane gets too close.”

Onion Pi turns Raspberry Pi into Tor proxy and wireless access point

Posted on by

“A good project for users looking to anonymize their Internet traffic, ‘Onion Pi’ requires just a Raspberry Pi, a few standard peripherals, and some work in the command line. ‘Using it is easy-as-pie,’ Adafruit wrote. ‘First, plug the Ethernet cable into any Internet provider [sic] in your home, work, hotel or conference/event. Next, power up the Pi with the Micro USB cable to your laptop or to the wall adapter. The Pi will boot up and create a new secure wireless access point called Onion Pi. Connecting to that access point will automatically route any web browsing from your computer through the anonymizing Tor network.'”

Paul Craig Roberts: What Is The Government’s Agenda?

Posted on by

withkitties_150_1202

“How can something as rare as terrorism justify the destruction of the US Constitution and US civil liberty? How safe is any American when their government regards every citizen as a potential suspect who has no rights?  What is the government’s real agenda? Clearly, ‘the war on terror’ is a front for an undeclared agenda. In ‘freedom and democracy’ America, citizens have no idea what their government’s motives are in fomenting endless wars and a gestapo police state. The only information Americans have comes from whistleblowers, who Obama ruthlessly prosecutes. The presstitutes quickly discredit the information and demonize the whistleblowers.”

Paul Craig Roberts: Why Disinformation Works

Posted on by

withkitties_150_1202

“Have you ever wondered how the government’s misinformation gains traction? What I have noticed is that whenever a stunning episode occurs, such as 9/11 or the Boston Marathon bombing, most everyone whether on the right or left goes along with the government’s explanation, because they can hook their agenda to the government’s account.”

Texas Man Transporting His Unloaded Firearms Through NJ Now Doing 3-5 Years in Prison

Posted on by

“A TX man, who was in the process of moving to Maine, made a very simple mistake, and never made it to his hew home. Dustin Reininger is serving a 3-5 year prison sentence in the Garden State because he made a mistake, he stopped to take a nap in NJ during his multi day drive from Texas to Maine. Police approached Reininger’s car when he was taking a nap near a bank in Readington, NJ. Reininger would not have been arrested if his guns were simply in locked cases, or if he possessed a NJ Firearm Owner’s Identification Card, which not being a resident of NJ, he obviously did not possess.”
