Homeland Security Raids Homes Seizing Vehicles For EPA Violations

Posted on by

“As part of its mission to ‘protect the Homeland,’ the DHS has been busy seizing imported vehicles that don’t comply with safety and CO2 regulations.  Jennifer and Bill Brinkley were satisfied that their $60,000 dollar purchase of a Land Rover Defender on eBay complied with regulations because it fell into the exemption category of a vehicle 25 years or older.  However, when DHS agents turned up at the property, they compared the car’s Vehicle Identification Number to a list and immediately seized the Land Rover. The couple were not given ‘a chance to debate the issue.’  WBTV’s Steve Ohnesorge said DHS agents conducted ‘almost like a raid to get the car.'”

Internment Camps: U. S. Government Field Manual

Posted on by

“For the complete manual, click here.  Establishment critics say that Right-wingers worry about black helicopters.  We worry about published FMs — field manuals — that were not intended for public release.  Hooray for the World Wide Web. Leakers leak.”

Ferguson Protests Spotlight a Much Bigger Problem

Posted on by

“The police force of Bloomington, Georgia, also took advantage of federal subsidies recently when it purchased four grenade launchers, which might be overkill for a town of less than 3,000 people.  As if supplying local police units with heavy firepower wasn’t concerning enough, the federal government does not instruct police departments on how to use their new toys. Additionally, the Department of Defense Excess Property Program, commonly known as the 1033 Program, requires police departments to surrender any equipment not put to use within a year, which explains why police would show up to a protest decked out in camouflage and armed to the teeth.”

U.S. Hikes Fee To Renounce Citizenship By 422%, to $2,350

Posted on by

“Now, the State Department interim rule just raised the fee for renunciation of U.S. citizenship to $2,350 from $450. Critics note that it’s more than twenty times the average level in other high-income countries. The State Department says it’s about demand on their services and all the extra workload they have to process people who are on their way out.  Apparently, dual citizens in Canada trying to shed their U.S. citizenship have created a backlog at the U.S. consulate in Toronto that stretches into the third week of January 2015. A decision to expatriate should never be taken lightly. Taxes or not, it can be a big step. And around the world, more people are talking about taking it.”

Ron Paul, Ferguson: The War Comes Home

Posted on by

Ron-Paul-640_s640x4271

“Today, the war on drugs has been eclipsed by the war on terror as an all-purpose excuse for expanding the police state. We are all familiar with how the federal government increased police power after September 11 via the PATRIOT Act, TSA and other Homeland Security programs. Not as widely known is how the war on terror has been used to justify the increased militarization of local police departments to the detriment of our liberty. Since 2002, the Department of Homeland Security has provided over $35 billion in grants to local governments for the purchase of tactical gear, military-style armor and mine-resistant vehicles. The threat of terrorism is used to justify these grants.”

Government Bribery and The War on Terror Militarized America’s Police

Posted on by

“Billions in taxpayer funds have been spent to transform American police forces into clones of the U.S. occupation forces of Iraq and Afghanistan. The 1033 Program and related facilities represent massive profits for U.S. defense contractors. As our Middle Eastern wars wind down, they’ve created a $30 billion-a-year domestic market for their MRAP armored troop carriers, night-vision rifle scopes, camouflage fatigues, Humvees and M16 automatic rifles, amongst other things. This isn’t just cast-off surplus stuff, either. The Pentagon’s Defense Logistics Agency often simply purchases gear from a defense contractor and transfers it to a local law enforcement agency free of charge.”

Ten percent of Venezuelans are taking steps for emigrating

Posted on by

“The figure exceeds the numbers pertaining to the highest peaks of emigration from Venezuela in the last decade: after the coup of 2002 and after the presidential recall referendum in 2004.  The president of Datanálisis argues that in this continent the poorest strata of the population are often the natural emigrants (for economic reasons rather than political reasons). In Venezuela, however, most people aiming to live in other countries belong to the highest strata of the population.  Datanálisis’ latest survey determined the common profile of Venezuelan emigrants: they are young people (aged 18-35), professionals or equity holders whose contribution to the country GDP is high.”

Missouri Sends National Guard Troops Into Ferguson

Posted on by

“In the days since a black teenager was shot to death by a white police officer here on Aug. 9, an array of state and local law enforcement authorities have swerved from one approach to another: taking to the streets in military-style vehicles and riot gear; then turning over power to a State Highway Patrol official who permitted the protests and marched along; then calling again for a curfew.  Early Monday morning, after a new spate of violence, Gov. Jay Nixon said he was bringing in the National Guard.  Scores of people marched peacefully, carrying signs and chanting. Officers herded some into a parking lot, where the police said protest was permitted.”
