Mask ban: Canada’s veiled protesters face 10 years’ jail

“A new Canadian law forbids people from wearing a mask or covering their face during a riot or so-called ‘unlawful assembly’ in the country. The law carries a maximum ten-year sentence for anyone convicted of physically concealing their identity. The law does allow exceptions for those who are able to prove they have a ‘lawful excuse’ for concealing their face, such as for religious or medical purposes.  The bill originally proposed imprisoning an offender for five years, but that sentence doubled to ten years after conservative lawmakers greeted the idea enthusiastically.”

Florida County Moves To Shut Down Red Light Cameras With Public Vote

“The board of commissioners in Hernando County, Florida has been trying for months to force the city of Brooksville to remove red light cameras from the county’s right-of-way. So far, nothing has worked and the county commissioners agreed last week to use the ultimate political persuasion — a vote of county residents — to force the issue. Yellow light warning times at the camera intersections were also increased on Thursday.”

Bolivian President Morales’ Flight Diverted On Suspicions He Was Transporting Edward Snowden

“Bolivia’s foreign minister David Choquehuanca has told reporters that France and Portugal abruptly cancelled air permits, causing the plane to make an unscheduled landing in Vienna, Austria.   He said the cancellations were made over ‘technical issues’ but that further investigation revealed ‘there appeared to be some unfounded suspicions that Mr. Snowden was on the plane’.  ‘We don’t know who invented this lie,’ Mr Choquehuanca added.  Austrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Schallenberg told The Associated Press that Snowden is not with Morales and that the Bolivian president is spending the night at a Vienna hotel.”

Travel Before Passports

“A century ago, there were no passports. We forget this. Our world would have seemed inconceivable to any free man in the Western world a century ago. People would not have imagined it possible that a person would be unable to cross a border because his nation had revoked his passport. There were no passports to revoke. The Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, both considered illiberal tyrannies, had passport systems. World War I did more to undermine liberty in the West than any other event of the last century. European states killed about 20 million citizens, and began taking away liberties from those citizens who survived. War is the health of the state.”

A Message From Your Friendly ECHELON/Total Awareness/Boundless Informant Surveillance System

CHS9a1

“J.Q., you don’t know me but I know you. I am your friendly ECHELON/Total Awareness/Boundless Informant Surveillance System–actually, an automated response feature of the system.  You may wonder why you are receiving this email, and you may attribute it to the email you sent an associate stating that the theater play you attended ‘bombed.’ Since enemies of America use code phrases rather than overt words like ‘bombed,’ that email was noted but not considered actionable. I’m not authorized to reveal what did attract my attention about your communications.”

The Surveillance State: Its Ramifications and Opponents

“Passports and visas have made traveling from one country to another an exercise that demands the approval for the most part of one’s home country. It wasn’t always this way. The entire passport and visa program, worldwide, has only been generated in the past half-century or so. It corresponds as well to the rise of the global state with instrumentalities such as the United NationsInternational Monetary FundWorld BankInternational Criminal Court, etc. It is fairly surprising that people still insist that the globalist structure does not exist or has not expanded, for it does so on a regular basis and without formal consultations with the people it’s affecting.”

Paid via Payroll Cards, Workers Feel Sting of Fees

“For these largely hourly workers, paper paychecks and even direct deposit have been replaced by prepaid cards issued by their employers. Employees can use these cards, which work like debit cards, at an A.T.M. to withdraw their pay. But in the overwhelming majority of cases, using the card involves a fee. And those fees can quickly add up: one provider, for example, charges $1.75 to make a withdrawal from most A.T.M.’s, $2.95 for a paper statement and $6 to replace a card.  In 2012, $34 billion was loaded onto 4.6 million active payroll cards, according to the research firm Aite Group; it expected that to reach $68.9 billion and 10.8 million cards by 2017.”

NSA surveillance: don’t underestimate the extraordinary power of metadata

“Four years ago a German Green party politician, Malte Spitz, sued to have Deutsche Telekom hand over six months of his phone data that he then made available to Zeit Online. The paper then did what any decent NSA operative would do, namely combine his phone’s geolocation data with information relating to his life as a politician – Twitter feeds, blog entries and websites – to create an extraordinary animated reconstruction of a day in his life. It’s this revelatory power that enables metadata to expose far more than what a target is talking about.  In the old days, the medium was the message. Now it’s the metadata.”

Audit Findings: State Lab Lies About Blood Alcohol Levels

thelrcblog-5002

“A recent audit of the state lab that conducts alcohol blood tests found that the laboratory skews test results in favor of prosecutors.  So while drunk-driving laws are already utterly arbitrary and damaging for people don’t even damage any person or property, it turns out that being sober by the state’s standards won’t even save you. The state will simply fudge the science or outright lie to favor itself.”

Every Georgia driver who refuses to blow is strapped to a table, put in a headlock, blood forcibly taken

Every Georgia driver who refuses to blow is strapped to a table, put in a headlock, blood forcibly taken

“In some Georgia counties, as well as all over the USA, drivers are getting their blood forcibly stolen from them. As shown in this video, every driver who refuses to give the police a blow, even for misdemeanor offenses, is strapped to a table, put into a headlock by a police officer, and their blood forcibly taken. ‘We all are American citizens and you guys strapped me to a table like I’m in Guantanamo ****ing Bay!’ said one victim of the vampiric policy.”
