Canadian bureaucrats score one against raw milk marketer

Before Michael Schmidt and his raw milk crusade, there was Adelaide Hunter Hoodless. She isn’t mentioned in this week’s court ruling that convicted Schmidt of violating Ontario public health laws by selling unpasteurized milk. And her name leaves some of Schmidt’s followers looking perplexed. But more than a century ago, after her youngest son, John, died from drinking contaminated milk as an infant, Hoodless embarked on a campaign to have all milk heat-treated — pasteurized — to kill potentially harmful bacteria, making her one of Canada’s earliest food safety proponents. “She was way ahead of her time,” said Sylvain Charlebois, a professor of ...

(TomDispatch) On the same day that more than 250,000 unredacted State Department cables hemorrhaged out onto the Internet, I was interrogated for the first time in my 23-year State Department career by State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) and told I was under investigation for allegedly disclosing classified information. The evidence of my crime? A posting on my blog from the previous month that included a link to a WikiLeaks document already available elsewhere on the Web. As we sat in a small, gray, windowless room, resplendent with a two-way mirror, multiple ceiling-mounted cameras, and iron rungs on the table to which handcuffs could be attached, the two DS agents stated ...

GM is watching you . . .

I have never liked GM’s OnStar system – in part because I don’t like the idea of my car that I paid for having someone else’s “black box” recording (and transmitting) data about how I drive, where I drive and even when I drive. I also don’t like that GM force-feeds OnStar to every buyer of every GM car – whether the buyer wants it or not. I believe that GM’s long-term goal is to see to it that not only every GM vehicle is equipped with a “black box” (technically, an Event Data Recorder, or EDR) but that all vehicles are so equipped – and every single driver in the United States – possibly the world – monitored whenever ...

Chinese protest tax collectors' yacht

HANGZHOU - Tax authorities in Zhejiang province have responded to an outcry over their buying a yacht for 2.71 million yuan ($424,000) by saying it will be used to collect taxes. Pictures of the yacht Guorui published widely on the Internet raised questions about whether it had been bought for entertainment purposes. In one Internet posting there is a picture of the yacht and a picture of a banner saying that tax officials in Zhejiang had held a ceremony when the yacht made its maiden voyage. "It's just ridiculous, and a slap in the face of taxpayers if this yacht was bought simply to make some officials happy," said one critic on the Internet, Wang Changfu. "I was ...
Thugs demand $200 from motorist on California roadside

With the economy continuing to falter and residents struggling to hold things together, those lucky enough to still be employed are facing coersion and penalties by roadside revenue agents (otherwise known as "traffic cops") along California's highways. I liken 'traffic tickets' to demands made by petty thugs. If some thug demanded your wallet, taking your what remains of your overtaxed hard-earned money, hopefully you would put up some kind of resistance. But if a cop gives someone a traffic citation, only a tiny percentage statistically is ever going to bother fighting it. Most people think it's way too time consuming or complicated to fight tickets and win. ...

Activist Post receives over one million views per month and has been hosted by Google’s Blogger since its founding in June 2010. “We remain puzzled as to why Activist Post was erased completely by Google,” said chief editor and co-founder Michael Edwards. “When we tried to load our back-up file into our secondary Blogger account, that was blocked as well,” he added.

Police Tactics and Your Legal Rights. The Investigator's Dirty Tricks!

This article will show you the tricks that federal, state and local investigators use to encourage you to give up your right to remain silent. It is intended to prepare you for their under-handed ways while stressing the importance of NOT talking to them or trying to deceive them. Do not communicate with ANY federal agents. (Or any law enforcement period.) To begin with, it is a federal crime to make a false statement to an FBI agent or other federal investigator. By talking, you may be digging your own grave, as a violation could be charged on the basis of two inconsistent statements spoken out of fear or forgetfulness. It is also very dangerous to try to outsmart them. They are trained ...

Smart Meters Can Reveal Your Personal Habits in The Worldwide Energy WebThe dark horse of the New World Order is not Communism, Socialism or Fascism. It is Technocracy. -- Patrick Wood Activist Post Smart Meters are showing up across the U.S. despite pockets of fierce resistance. These meters are part of the SmartGrid system which relays real-time, wireless data in order to monitor and distribute energy use down to the tiniest detail. The professed purpose of this grid system -- to reduce carbon emissions -- is ringing more hollow than ever, as both health and privacy concerns are taking center stage for an increasing number of people who are aware of the dangers on both ...
A Tale of Two State-Sponsored Killings

The other night, the State of Georgia killed Troy Davis for the alleged murder of an off-duty police officer. The execution was controversial because a number of witnesses who testified at Davis' trial later recanted their statements. What was most interesting to me about that was that prosecutors had no problem accepting their testimony when it implicated Davis, but when those same witnesses later claimed to have been coerced and said that they lied because that was what police and prosecutors wanted, suddenly those same conveyors of truth had become "unreliable." Likewise, those wearing the black robes of judges came to the same conclusion. The case itself became a symbol ...
California Couple Threatened With $500-Per-Meeting Fines For Home Bible Study

MISSION VIEJO (CBS) — An Orange County couple has been ordered to stop holding a Bible study in their home on the grounds that the meeting violates a city ordinance as a “church” and not as a private gathering. Homeowners Chuck and Stephanie Fromm, of San Juan Capistrano, were fined $300 earlier this month for holding what city officials called “a regular gathering of more than three people”. That type of meeting would require a conditional use permit as defined by the city, according to Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), the couple’s legal representation. The Fromms also reportedly face subsequent fines of $500 per meeting for any further “religious ...

Political leaders in the Ontario election offered differing viewpoints on wind turbines following an exclusive CBC report detailing how the province’s Ministry of the Environment downplayed health concerns despite receiving hundreds of complaints. According to 1,000 pages of documents released under Ontario’s Freedom of Information Act, front-line ministry staff also warned their supervisors that they had no way of measuring the noise turbines emit. At a campaign stop in Toronto, Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty, who has championed renewable power with the 2009 Green Energy Act, defended wind turbines, referring to a May 2010 provincial health report that failed to find a link ...

OTTAWA The workers in Alberta s oil patch will be on Parliament Hill on Thursday to ask politicians to oppose a pipeline that will carry bitumen to the southern United States for processing. We re going to get into a lot of detail with MPs, Dave Cole, the president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada, said of the Keystone XL project, which has also been the subject of protests in the United States where regulators are taking a hard look at it. Mr. Cole and his colleagues will also be holding a news conference to tell Canadians why they want the pipeline stopped. Although the pipeline would be exporting bitumen extracted in Canada, it is a job killer, he said. ...

By Associated Press, Published: September 20 FLORENCE, Colo. — The former head of the Montana Freemen, an anti-government separatist group that held the FBI at bay for 81 days in 1996, has been found dead in his cell at the federal Supermax prison in southern Colorado. LeRoy Schweitzer, 73, was found unresponsive in his cell Tuesday and appears to have died of natural causes, The Denver Post reported (goo.gl/hEVcD). A Federal Correctional Complex advisory announcing the death says an autopsy will be performed. Schweitzer was a founder and leader of the small, heavily armed Freemen group. His arrest in 1996 prompted 16 group members to barricade themselves in a 960-acre ranch ...
GOP Presidential Contenders Critical Of Obama's Deficit Reduction Plan

President Obama is taking some harsh criticism from a group of individuals over his new proposal to hike taxes on the wealthiest Americans to help pay for his newly unveiled jobs bill. That group? The GOP presidential field. Rep. Michele Bachmann, who’s seen her status in the field dip in recent weeks, called Obama’s plans “gimmicks” and simply said “you don’t create jobs by increasing taxes on job creators.” “If Warren Buffet believes he doesn’t pay enough taxes, then he should write a check today to the Treasury,” Bachmann said in a statement. “He and the President shouldn’t enact warfare on the millions of small businesses, ...

NEW YORK, Sep. 19, 2011 (Reuters) — Protesters complaining about the unchecked power of the financial industry staged noisy demonstrations that slowed pedestrian traffic on Wall Street for a third day on Monday, vowing to continue "for as long as it takes" to achieve vague demands. Up to 150 protesters near the New York Stock Exchange held up signs saying "we must end corporate tyranny and corruption" and "debt is slavery". The protesters claimed up to 350 demonstrators had come and gone throughout the morning. Police reported eight arrests -- two for attempting to enter a Bank of America office on Saturday, when larger crowds amassed for a protest ...

The Public Message Is NOT Mixed! As I write these words, the corporate media talking heads are shoving polls at their audience which indicate that Americans want the budget balanced, taxes to be held where they are, no increase in the debt ceiling, and do not want to see cuts to social services. The talking heads and the politicians are screaming that the public is sending "mixed messages" which means Congress and Obama "just have to" do what they think is best. But nothing could be further from the truth. The message is not mixed at all; the corporate media is simply refusing to see the message for what it is. They are ignoring the real message by We The People to the ...
