Georgia Court Ignored Basic Rules of Interpretation February 5, 2012 By now many of you have probably heard that the Georgia court ruled that Obama is a natural born citizen. More importantly it ruled that any person born on U.S. soil is a natural born citizen. According to the Georgia court, a woman from any country can visit the U.S. for one day, give birth, take the baby back to any country to be raised under any culture, and that baby can return as an adult, live here for 14 years and run for President. The end result of this ruling is outrageous. It runs contrary to common sense as well as to established law. So, what happened in Georgia? The court determined that a clear definition ...

A recently published “lexicon” distributed to thousands of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) targets citizens concerned about their Second Amendment rights and the steady encroachment of the federal government, categorizing such as “militia extremists.” The “lexicon,” marked Unclassified/For Official Use Only (FOUO), is dated November 10, 2011, and was sent out by email to law enforcement and homeland security agencies on November 14 by LaJuan E. Washington of the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis. We have exclusively posted the DHS “lexicon” here. Its definition of “militia ...

Unless she wins her appeal, a Mississippi grandmother who spent $8.98 on a box of Sudafed must serve a year in jail. For Diane Avera, a 45-year-old Meridian woman who does personal care for the sick, disabled and elderly, it has been a nightmare, she said. "I keep thinking I'm going to wake up, but I never do." She is seeking a new trial in Demopolis, Ala., after being convicted of second degree intent to manufacture methamphetamine. If she loses, she plans to appeal to the Alabama Court of Appeals. Crackdowns taking place across the nation on pseudoephedrine and other products used to make methamphetamine have caused her to become a "prisoner of the drug war going on ...

America's Racist Drug Laws by Stephen Lendman Sentencing Project Executive Director Marc Mauer's a leading expert on sentencing, race, and criminal justice. For 25 years, it's "work(ed) for a fair and effective criminal justice system by promoting reforms in sentencing law and practice, and alternatives to incarceration." Criminal injustice is pervasive, especially against people of color. Racial and ethnic minorities comprise over 60% of America's prison population. "For black males in their twenties, 1 in every 8 is in prison or jail on any given day." America's racist war on drugs disproportionately targets people of color and ethnic ...

DECISION Plaintiffs allege that Defendant President Barack Obama does not meet Georgia’s eligibility requirements for candidacy in Georgia’s 2012 presidential primary election.

(AP:HARRISBURG, Pa.) Pennsylvania health officials say the number of people stricken with illness after consuming raw milk from the same dairy has risen to 35 in four states.

An Agriculture Department spokeswoman said final test results of milk samples from the farm may be available Friday. The federal Food and Drug Administration warns that raw, or ...

FBI agents used a chainsaw to enter a Fitchburg apartment. FITCHBURG (CBS) – It’s going to be a while before things get back to normal for Judy Sanchez and her three-year-old daughter. Last Thursday, a team of FBI agents swarmed her apartment building as part of a massive citywide drug and weapons gang raid. Trouble is, Sanchez lives in apartment 2R. The suspect they were after is in 2F. At 6:04 last Thursday morning, just before Sanchez’ alarm was set to go off, she heard a pounding outside her second floor apartment. “I just happened to glance over and saw this huge chainsaw ripping down the side of my door,” she explains. “And I was freaking out.

University of Ottawa Systemic Racism and Abuse by Stephen Lendman On June 3, 2008, former Canadian politician/UN ambassador/pro-Israeli flack Allan Rock became U of O president. His administration's marked by secrecy, political censorship, abuse of students and faculty, and repudiation of fundamental university values. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association reprimanded him for banning an Israeli Apartheid Week poster. He then pressured a student union president into distancing the organization from the student-run Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG). It opposes repressive Israeli practices as do growing millions. In September 2008, Rock got the Executive Committee of ...

D/FW AIRPORT - Police arrested Clayton Keith Dovel, a Transportation Security Administration baggage inspector at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Terminal E, for stealing iPads from checked luggage. Dovel works in the terminal, but unlike the security checkpoints where passengers are screened, the 35-year-old TSA employee works in an out-of-sight position in what's called the "Resolution Room" where checked luggage is screened by hand. That's where police say they think Dovel took iPads that travelers packed away. "For me, it was like zero chance of me thinking I'd get the iPad back," said Borna Mojra, an architecture student at the University of ...

Obama to the nation: Onward civilian soldiers

War, said James Madison, is “the true nurse of executive aggrandizement.” Randolph Bourne, the radical essayist killed by the influenza unleashed by World War I, warned, “War is the health of the state.” Hence Barack Obama’s State of the Union hymn: Onward civilian soldiers, marching as to war. Obama, an unfettered executive wielding a swollen state, began and ended his address by celebrating the armed forces. They are not “consumed with personal ambition,” they “work together” and “focus on the mission at hand” and do not “obsess over their differences.” Americans should emulate troops “marching into battle,” who ...

Constitutional Coup d’état? Last November, Marylanders went to the polls. In addition to choosing candidates to administer their government as well as delegates to legislate for them, there was a ballot question on whether to call a constitutional convention, which, if voters so chose, would provide an opportunity to propose fundamental reforms. Well, voters so chose. A solid majority — 54.4 percent — voted Yea. But the Maryland Legislature isn’t setting up the convention. In a Baltimore Sun op-ed, J.H. Snider, president of iSolon.org, tells the history of the constitutional convention provision in Maryland’s 1851 Constitution: “From 1851 until 1930, ...

A prison is a trap for catching time. Good reporting appears often about the inner life of the American prison, but the catch is that American prison life is mostly undramatic—the reported stories fail to grab us, because, for the most part, nothing happens. One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich is all you need to know about Ivan Denisovich, because the idea that anyone could live for a minute in such circumstances seems impossible; one day in the life of an American prison means much less, because the force of it is that one day typically stretches out for decades. It isn’t the horror of the time at hand but the unimaginable sameness of the time ahead that makes prisons ...

Targeting Iranian Nationals - by Stephen Lendman Washington's first regime change priority is Syria. At issue is isolating Iran. Then devoting full attention to replacing its current government with a pro-Western one. At the same time, covert war's raged against Tehran for years. Destabilization tactics include fake accusations, political and economic sanctions, isolation, covert and direct confrontation, cyberwar, targeted assassinations, and other provocations short of war - so far. Everything tried so far failed. Oil sanctions won't fare better. EU countries imposing it shot themselves in the foot. Sensible ones won't go along. Major ones like China, Russia, India and ...

Excerpt from original article: Iowa police comparing logbooks against Pilot Rewards Cards http://www.landlinemag.com/todays_news/Daily/2010/Dec10/122710/122910-04.shtml The driver didn’t have paperwork – like fuel receipts – to support his logbook, because he’d mailed everything back to Montana. So the patrolman asked him for his Pilot Rewards Card, which the officer proceeded to scan into a computer. Farrell says he’s never heard of that being part of an inspection and found it offensive. “He did a level three and my guy was legal. … When he got all through, he told the driver ‘well, it doesn’t look like you have any points left on your ...

The IT giant says the overall number of requests for content removal it receives from governmental agencies has risen, and so has the number of ...

Against Regimentation On Monday, Senator Rand Paul got caught in a contretemps with the TSA. He was not in transit to or from his work in Congress, so he couldn’t enlist constitutional protection from being detained. And detained he was. Well, the TSA insists that he was not “at any point detained,” but what he says is this: I was detained by the Transportation Security Administration . . . for not agreeing to a patdown after an irregularity was found in my full body scan. Despite removing my belt, glasses, wallet and shoes, the scanner and TSA also wanted my dignity. I refused. I showed them the potentially offending part of my body, my leg. They were not interested.

Obama's Failed State of the Union by Stephen Lendman It was typical Obama, taking credit for what should be condemned. He's a fraud, a crime boss, a war criminal multiple times over, a moral coward, and serial liar.

Not according to fawning New York Times writers, however.
