Outrageous! Gadsden Flag Removed By New York Town For Being An “Offensive” Tea Party Symbol Guest Post by Mike LaRoche What is the matter with New York these days? Not content to violate the Second Amendment rights of their citizens by restricting the ownership and possession of firearms, now politicians in that state are trampling on First Amendment rights as well. The Washington Examiner reports: A veterans organization in a New York town is fighting for its right to fly a patriotic flag after the city council refused to let the group display the flag, calling it a symbol of the Tea Party with right-wing connotations. The United Veterans Memorial & Patriotic Association ...
LGBT-NABLA Culture/AIDS vs. Gun Culture/gun deaths
Post Date: 2013-04-13 21:51:49 by Southern Style

Every year in the United States, about twice as many people die from LGBT-NABLA shooting AIDs into their victims rectums as Gun Culture/users shooting bullets into the body of a victim. Depending on what numbers are used, it seems that there are nearly 20,000 AIDS deaths per years and nearly 10,000 people die from bullets. So why does the government promote LGBT-NABLA and their culture of sodomy, but are making historical efforts to crush Gun Culture and the Second Amendment of the Constitution. Why is the US government forcing a mental illness on the population and at the same time trying deny Americans their Human right to defend themselves, their families, their communities, and the ...

John Petrie’s Collection ofThomas Jefferson Quotes The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now. I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to ...
Globalized Torture

Globalized Torture by Stephen Lendman America's the world's leading human rights abuser. State terror is official policy. So is waging war on humanity. Guantanamo operates lawlessly. It's America's public face. It's the tip of the iceberg. More on that below. Gitmo detainees gave few ways to resist. Refusing food challenges injustice. Around 130 haven't eaten in over two months. They're hunger striking for justice. Russia Today reports regularly on what's happening. On April 12, it headlined "Day of Action to Close Guantanamo: US Cities protest Obama's inaction." Activists and people of conscience rallied in New York, Washington DC, ...

Greater Grand Theft Cyprus by Stephen Lendman Hit 'em again harder is policy. Cyprus is Exhibit A. It's pound of flesh demanded got greater. "Could it possibly get any worse," headlined Cyprus Mail?" Weeks after agreeing to Eurocrat terms, six billion more euros are demanded. A leaked European Commission "Assessment of the public debt sustainability of Cyprus" report revealed it. At issue are "needs for the recapitalization of the banking sector, the redemption of maturing medium and longterm debt, including loans and fiscal needs," it said. Another 600 million euros will be raised through higher corporate taxes. Gold reserves sales may raise ...
Can the U.N. Ban America's Guns?

The rumor flashed across the Internet last winter: the Obama administration is going to use a United Nations arms treaty to get around the Second Amendment and ban all guns. In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings and the renewed push for "gun safety" (the current politically correct term) the rumor was all too believable. But was it true? At the time the panic started, the answer was "no." The U.N. had been working on an anti-gun treaty for years but had never actually produced a result. Last fall, Obama gave his support to the next step of the process. That was enough to set the rumor mill churning. But as of April 2, 2013, the long-rumored ...
Obama's Neoliberal Budget

Obama's Neoliberal Budget by Stephen Lendman Main Street America's in protracted Depression. Conditions go from bad to worse. More than ever, vital stimulus is needed. Lots of it. Obama's solution is force-fed austerity. In term one, he prioritized it. His FY 2014 budget offers more of the same. He's waging financial war on ordinary people. He's targeting middle America, those most disadvantaged, seniors, and others approaching retirement. He's beholden solely to bankers, war profiteers, other corporate favorites, and America's super-rich. He's harming others so they benefit. His agenda reflects the worst of neoliberal harshness. It imposes misery. It ...

Attacking Venezuela's Democratic Process by Stephen Lendman Jimmy Carter calls Venezuelan elections the world's best. He does so for good reason. They shame America's sham process. Duopoly power controls things. People have no say. Venezuelans get the real thing. It's constitutionally mandated. It's democracy the way it should be. It's one of many Bolivarian successes. They reflect Chavez's extraordinary legacy. Don't expect media scoundrels to explain. He's gone. Chavismo lives. On April 14, Venezuelans again vote. Acting President Nicolas Maduro carries Chavez's torch. He's PSUV's (United Socialist Party of Venezuela) candidate. ...

Force-Fed UK Austerity by Stephen Lendman Since 2008, America, Britain and other European nations force-fed austerity harshness. Neoliberal and imperial priorities take precedence. Bankers, war profiteers, other corporate favorites, and privileged elites alone benefit. Ordinary people lose out entirely. Public needs go begging. Human misery grows. Things go from bad to worse. Nothing ahead looks promising. Britain made things harder. Parliament imposed the largest welfare cuts in modern times. More on them below. They come when Prime Minister David Cameron wants UK nuclear defenses upgraded. He wants billions of pounds spent doing so. He claims Britain faces threats that don't ...

Deplorable Bahraini Human Rights Abuses Continue by Stephen Lendman In summer 2010, sporadic protests began. In mid-February 2011, major ones erupted. Bahrainis want democracy. They want King Sheikh Hamad bin Isa al-Khalif's repressive regime replaced. They rally courageously. They defy government diktats. They brave beatings, tear gas, rubber bullets, live fire, arrests, torture and disappearances. They persist. They refuse to back down. They want freedom replacing police state terror. The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) promotes civil, political and economic freedom, ending racial discrimination, disseminating human rights culture, and protecting victims' rights. Any ...
Kansas Legislature Sends Governor Strongest Pro-gun Bill in Country

Late last Friday, as both houses of the Kansas legislature were winding up its current session, Senate Bill 102 and House Bill 2199 were passed overwhelmingly, putting the matter firmly on the desk of pro-gun Governor Sam Brownback (shown) for signing. The House passed its measure 96-24 while the Senate's bill was voted through 35-4. As both pieces of legislation are identical, no conference was necessary and the final bill will be on Brownback’s desk this week for signing. As the votes were being counted in the Senate, one senator exclaimed: “Passage of SB 102 means that the Second Amendment and the Tenth Amendment are alive and well in Kansas!” Indeed. Not only does ...

Thatcherism by Stephen Lendman Thatcherism represents Chicago School fundamentalism writ large. She’s gone. She won’t be missed. She launched a corporatist revolution. She headed Britain down a slippery slope toward unfettered predatory capitalism. She transferred public wealth to private hands. She privatized British Telecom, British Gas, British Airways, British Steel and other state enterprises. She force-fed deregulation. She cut social benefits. She enacted corporate-friendly tax cuts. She cracked down hard on non-believers. She waged war on labor. In 1984, she unleashed thousands of truncheon-wielding riot police against striking coal miners. Doing so sent a message. ...

Obama's War on Social America by Stephen Lendman Obama, Republicans and most democrats are in lockstep. They claim Medicare and Social Security are going broke. They lie saying so. When properly administered, both programs are sound. Modest adjustments only are needed to assure it. They're federally mandated. They're not entitlements. They're contractual obligations. They're for eligible recipients who qualify. Payroll taxes fund them. Social Security provides retirement, disability, survivorship, and death benefits. It's America's most effective poverty reduction program. It's worked remarkably well since inception. It provides secure inflation-adjusted ...

Secret FDIC Plan to Loot Bank Accounts by Stephen Lendman It shouldn't surprise. It's already policy. Market analyst Graham Summers explained. Depositor theft is coming. Europe is banker occupied territory. So is America. Finance is a new form of warfare. It's more powerful than standing armies. Banking giants run things. Money power has final say. Economies are strip-mined for profit. Communities are laid waste. Ordinary people are impoverished. Even their bank accounts aren't safe. Cypriot officials agreed to tax them. Canada, New Zealand, and Euroland member states plan doing the same thing. So does America. Officially they're called "bail-ins." ...

Those were and remain some of the standard replies to anyone who even thought about the possibility, let alone gave voice to it, ...
The Totalitarianism of Universal Background Checks
Post Date: 2013-04-08 06:36:31 by Ada

Finally, some sanity, and from a somewhat unexpected source. The ACLU is concerned about the civil liberties implications of the new Harry Reid Senate bill to establish so-called “universal background checks” for firearms purchases. The organization has tended toward silence on gun rights, but at least now it recognizes aspects of the problem with this terrible proposal. Ever since Sandy Hook, the Obama administration and its progressive choir have demanded a new Assault Weapons Ban (AWB). Now it looks like that plan is toast. California Senator Dianne Feinstein blames gun owners and the NRA, and in a sense we should have expected all along that this proposal would get nowhere. ...

Destabilizing Venezuela: Longstanding US Policy by Stephen Lendman It doesn't surprise. It's likely happening ahead of Venezuela's April 14 presidential election. It'll continue when it's over. Washington tolerates no independent governments. It demands pro-Western ones. It wants them serving US interests. Outliers are targeted for regime change. Throughout his tenure, Chavez was America's main hemispheric bete noire. He's gone. Chavismo lives. Washington's war on Venezuela continues. It's the oil, stupid. Venezuela has the world's largest reserves. It's also for unchallenged regional dominance. No holds barred tactics persist to achieve it. ...

Defending IMF Financial Terrorism by Stephen Lendman On March 29, New York Times editors headlined "Strengthening the IMF." What demands abolition, they support. It doesn't surprise. Longstanding Times policy supports wealth, power and privilege. Populist interests are spurned. Unmet human needs are ignored. Managed news misinformation is featured. Wrong over right is endorsed. It's been so from inception. Times editors admit IMF policies aren't widely loved. It "forced countries in financial distress to adopt counterproductive austerity policies, and it failed to anticipate the financial crisis." No matter. It "helped stabilize the global economy, ...

Guantanamo Bay prison plans expansion, while CIA official linked to torture cover-up gets promoted During the George W. Bush years, two of the most controversial elements of what was then called the Global War on Terror were the CIA's rendition, detention and interrogation (RDI) program and the creation of the prison camps at Guantanamo Bay. The RDI program included waterboarding and other forms of torture, as well as so-called black site prisons where detainees were held incommunicado after being abducted by the CIA, and sometimes tortured by members of the host country's security forces. Guantanamo Bay and the RDI program are both back in the news now, each for their own ...
DICK ACT of 1902 . . . CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN) The Trump Card Enacted by the Congress Further Asserting the Second Amendment as Untouchable

Re- Posted Juy 24, 2012 The Dick Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws. It also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities. The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia, the unorganized militia and the regular army. The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy. The Dick ...

Two weeks ago, I pointed out Section 1555, one of the major chinks in PPACA's armor according to an attorney at the Goldwater Institute. Section 1555 is the law under "Subtitle-G - Miscellaneous Provisions." Since brining this up, I've heard from some who believe that this section is limited solely to those who sell ("issue") health insurance. Here again is Section 1555: "No individual, company, business, nonprofit entity, or health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage shall be required to participate in any Federal health insurance program under this Act (or any amendments made by this Act), or in any Federal health ...

Guantanamo Hunger Strike Spreads by Stephen Lendman Detainees have few ways to resist. Refusing food challenges injustice. It's now past two months. Media scoundrels at first ignored it. Now they say little. Capitol Hill's quiet. Pentagon officials downplay it. Russia Today reports it daily. More on that below. Around 130 detainees refuse food. They're surviving only on water. Some are being force-fed. Doing so constitutes torture. Obama's been dismissively silent. On March 28, his spokesman Joshua Earnest commented for the first time, saying: The White House is "closely monitoring the hunger strikers at Guantanamo Bay. (The) administration remains committed to ...

Expanding Draconian Computer Fraud and Abuse Act Powers by Stephen Lendman A previous article discussed CFAA. It explained the following: It's an anti-hacking law. It's a computer trespass law. It criminalizes accessing computer systems "without authorization." "(E)xceeds authorized access" terminology was left undefined. In 1984, it was enacted. It was amended numerous times. It's primarily a criminal law. It covers seven types of offenses. They include obtaining national security information, compromising confidentiality, trespassing in a government computer, accessing a system to defraud and/or obtain value, damaging a computer or information ...
