Picture this: you and your family are vacationing in the Big Apple. You're riding one of those double-decker busses and enjoying the circus that's Broadway. Suddenly, in a scene borrowed from a banana republic, troops waving rifles ambush the vehicle. "Hands up!" they shout while your family shrieks, your heart thuds, and the other passengers begin screaming. "Get your hands up! Nobody move!" Sixty terrorized tourists lived this nightmare near Times Square last Sunday when cops in riot gear invaded their bus. As one of them told the New York Post, "I thought we were going to die." It seems that when these folks had embarked on their tour a few hours earlier, ...

Tasered Mo. Grandmother Gets Probation KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A 67-year-old grandmother who was shocked with a Taser stun gun after she honked her car horn at a police cruiser has been given a year's probation for sparking a quarrel with officers. A charge of improper use of the horn against Louise Jones was dismissed Wednesday in Kansas City Municipal Court. Her husband, Fred, 76, who became involved in the fray last year, also got one year of probation for the same charges - resisting arrest and attempting to inflict injury on an officer. The only condition of the probation is that the couple obey all laws. The incident, which resulted in a change in department policy and the ...

(AP) - Libertarians upset about a Supreme Court ruling on land taking have proposed seizing a justice's vacation home and turning it into a park, echoing a scheme to take another justice's home and build a hotel. Signatures are being collected for a petition to ask the town to use Justice Stephen G. Breyer's 167-acre Plainfield property to create a "Constitution Park" with stone monuments to commemorate the U.S and New Hampshire constitutions, said party Vice Chairman Mike Lorrey.

I have very little hope for this nation. The bulk of the populace is still clueless as to the Executive Orders, Acts, and partnership bureaucracy system that have turned our Constitutional Republic into a new banana republic. The ongoing ignorance of the masses is beyond all comprehension and reason. The Southwestern U.S and the West Coast have become a foreign and illegal nation. Every Constitutional right is under perpetrated and highly orchestrated attack, and still the masses watch TV, sports, drink beer, and do and say nothing. Most don’t even know that anything has changed. And why is that? Because public education has changed American people into silent, sacrilegious, ...

Tom Davis of Virginia, is pending in committee. If the House should pass the bill, the order of those in line to assume the presidency if President Bush is unable to serve would be: Vice President Dick Cheney, who also acts ...

Where does the madness end? The New Jersey state legislature is considering a law that would prohibit smoking in cars. The latest thing in ankle wear is being unveiled across the nation as well. The new ankle bracelet is capable of monitoring blood alcohol content and sending a message to police if this exceeds the acceptable limits. Mandating the usage of such equipment is imperiling more civil liberties. An old adage goes, ‘just because you can do a thing, doesn't mean you should.' Don't you think it's about time we apply this to the technical advances within our society? Big brother is no longer science fiction; it has become science fact.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A free trade pact with Central America and the Dominican Republic cleared the US Congress, after it was approved by a narrow 217-215 vote in the House of Representatives. ADVERTISEMENT Pushed by the administration of President George W. Bush, CAFTA-DR passed the House thanks to 15 Democrats who voted against their party line. Twenty-seven Republican lawmakers and one independent voted against the pact. The trade agreement was hotly debated among both parties and represents a key victory for Bush, who risked considerable political capital in pressing for its approval. Signed more than a year ago, CAFTA-DR was approved by a 54-45 vote in the Senate on June 30 and its ...

The former warden of the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq testified on Wednesday that he attended a meeting in which the then-commander of the Guantanamo Bay prison recommended using military dogs for interrogation. Major David Dinenna testified at the end of a preliminary hearing for two US Army dog handlers accused of abusing Iraqi detainees. Dinenna said at a September 2003 meeting, Major General Geoffrey Miller, the Guantanamo Bay commander, talked about the effectiveness of using the dogs. "We understood that he was sent over by the secretary of defence," Dinenna testified. He said teams of trainers were sent to Abu Ghraib "to take these interrogation techniques, other ...

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A woman who was upset over being searched bodily at an airport was convicted Tuesday of assaulting a security screener by grabbing the federal officer's breasts. A federal jury heard the case against retired teacher Phyllis Dintenfass, who also allegedly shoved the screener during the search at the Outagamie County Regional Airport in Appleton in September 2004. Dintenfass, 62, faces up to a year in federal prison and $100,000 in fines. The judge set sentencing for Nov. 1. On Monday, Transportation Security Administration screening supervisor Anita Gostisha testified that Dintenfass activated metal detectors at a checkpoint, and she heard Dintenfass say she thought the ...

New York Proposes Tracking Diabetes, a Non-Contagious Disease, Raising Privacy Questions By David B. Caruso Associated Press Writer Published: Jul 25, 2005 NEW YORK (AP) - At least half a million New Yorkers have diabetes, many of them at risk for blindness, kidney failure, amputations and heart problems because they are doing a poor job of controlling their illness. The question is, how much privacy are they willing to give up for a chance at better health? A century after New York became the first American city to track people with infectious diseases as a way to halt epidemics, officials here propose a similar system to monitor people with diabetes, a non-contagious foe.

Man has right to medical pot; feds seize stash anyway Associated Press Jul. 22, 2005 08:15 AM DENVER - Donald Nord won't be getting his pot back. Federal agents seized his stash and took some pipes, too. The Hayden, Colo., man has a state-issued medical-use permit for his weed. No federal charges were filed against Nord, so he asked a county court to order the pot's return. The Drug Enforcement Administration agents refused and Nord sought a contempt citation. Now, a federal judge has ruled a local court doesn't have the power to hold the DEA agents in contempt. The judge added the DEA has the authority to keep the pot and pipes, no matter what a county court rules.

After all, before Hitler's rise to power, Germany had a rich Christian heritage. The Reformation out of the Dark Ages had its roots deeply imbedded in Germany and surrounding countries. Furthermore, Germany has long produced some of the most intelligent and creative people on the planet! Many of the world's greatest engineers and scientists have come from Germany and Austria. When it comes to knowledge and education, the Germanic people take a back seat to no one. ...

Police last night told Tony Blair that they need sweeping new powers to counter the terrorist threat, including the right to detain a suspect for up to three months without charge instead of the current 14 days. Senior officers also want powers to attack and close down websites, and a new criminal offence of using the internet to prepare acts of terrorism, to "suppress inappropriate internet usage". They also want to make it a criminal offence for suspects to refuse to cooperate in giving the police full access to computer files by refusing to disclose their encryption keys. The police would also like to see much clearer information given to the public about the threat level, ...

The Bush administration in recent days has been lobbying to block legislation supported by Republican senators that would bar the U.S. military from engaging in "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" of detainees, from hiding prisoners from the Red Cross, and from using interrogation methods not authorized by a new Army field manual. Vice President Cheney met Thursday evening with three senior Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee to press the administration's case that legislation on these matters would usurp the president's authority and -- in the words of a White House official -- interfere with his ability "to protect Americans effectively from ...
