Secular humanists have been taking legal action against Christian crosses on public property, filing lawsuits at both ends of the country. In California, the American Humanist Association (AHA) sued the city of Lake Elsinore for approving a planned memorial outside a local minor league baseball stadium. The memorial honoring fallen soldiers would have included images of Christian crosses and featured the words: “Freedom Is Never Free.” City council members approved the war memorial in November 2012 despite objections from secular humanists. “I feel sorry for us that we as Christians cannot show the cross because of the First Amendment,” Mayor Pro Tem Hickman was ...
Sharyl Attkisson resigns from CBS News

CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has reached an agreement to resign from CBS News ahead of contract, bringing an end to months of hard-fought negotiations, sources familiar with her departure told POLITICO on Monday. Attkisson, who has been with CBS News for two decades, had grown frustrated with what she saw as the network's liberal bias, an outsized influence by the network's corporate partners and a lack of dedication to investigative reporting, several sources said. She increasingly felt like her work was no longer supported and that it was a struggle to get her reporting on air. At the same time, Attkisson's own reporting on the Obama administration, ...
Hackers Leak Walmart’s Guide on How to Silence Workers

Occupy Wall Street published a number of Walmart’s internal training materials on how to discourage workers from coming together for action. The documents, demanding loyalty and that all signs of worker dissatisfaction be reported immediately, “would sound right at home in a training manual for prison guards, or as text from Brave New World,” in the words of Gawker’s Hamilton Nolan. The eerily Big Brother-esque documents have drawn comparisons to the TSA and Homeland security. As MSNBCwrote: “If you see something, say something” is no longer just a motto for the Department of Homeland Security. It’s also how Walmart plans to snuff out labor organizing ...

Detroit’s police chief knows 911 can be too late. That’s why he wants criminals to be as worried about armed citizens as they are about police. jamescraig0308newer“The message should be that people are going to protect themselves,” Police Chief James Craig told WDIV-TV reporter Rob Meloni in an interview broadcast Friday. “They’re tired … they’re afraid, and they have a right to protect themselves.” In a city that’s become a byword for failed municipal government, the chief said law-abiding citizens should be ready to act on their own defend their lives and families. In two instances this week, Detroit residents were forced to used ...

Russia says Ukraine's NATO membership impossible

MOSCOW, March 6 (Xinhua) -- Moscow categorically ruled out any possibility of Ukraine joining NATO, a senior Russian diplomat said Thursday. "This will happen in no circumstances. It is impossible," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily Nebenzya told reporters. He stressed that both Russia and NATO understood very well the consequences of Ukraine becoming a member of the Euro-Atlantic defence alliance. "I can imagine Ukraine's participation in NATO neither now, nor in the future," he said. On Wednesday, Ukrainian lawmakers introduced a bill that would cancel the country's nonaligned status and allow it to join military alliances. The bill could be voted on ...
Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose US Intervention in Ukraine

According to a YouGov poll conducted this week, only 14 percent of Americans said the U.S. has “any responsibility” to get involved in Ukraine, and only 18 percent think the U.S. “has any responsibility to protect Ukraine if Russia were to invade” “Americans are more likely than not to say that the United States has no responsibility to get involved in Ukraine even under extreme circumstances, the new survey shows,” the Huffington Post reports. “Pluralities of Democrats, Republicans and independents agreed that the U.S. does not have a responsibility to protect Ukraine.” This reminds one of the Pew poll from back in December that found a majority of ...

One Man In The Department Of Defense Controls All Of Hollywood's Access To The Military

If Hollywood wants to make a movie about anything having to do with the military, there is one man they have to woo first: Phil Strub, entertainment liaison at the Department of Defense since 1989. Strub, a former Navy videographer, is now the sole person whose call it is to green light or deny a film's right to military cooperation on everything from accessing information and advisors to using the Air Force's planes or the Navy's ships. For example, this summer's "Superman" reboot "Man of Steel" was initially denied Pentagon support because Strub found the script's portrayal of the military "cartoony," according to an article in Fortune ...

Tea party: Reject U.S. meddling in Ukraine

The situation in Ukraine is tragic. Every major political party is hopelessly corrupt, and a fierce hostility divides the western Ukrainians, who regard themselves as a recently freed captive nation, from those in the east who look to Russia as their patron and protector. The current crisis, brought on by a feckless attempt by the European Union to pull Ukraine out of the Russian sphere of influence, has seen the overthrow of a legitimately elected president by rioters in the streets – and his headlong flight for his life to the Russian border. Now the Russian speakers of Crimea want to peel their region away from the pro-EU faction that controls Kiev, and Putin’s Russia has ...

Ukraine’s Navy flagship, the Hetman Sahaidachny frigate, has reportedly refused to follow orders from Kiev, and come over to Russia’s side and is returning home after taking part in NATO operation in the Gulf of Aden flying the Russian naval flag. There has been conflicting information on where exactly the vessel is, but a Russian senator has confirmed to Izvestia daily that the frigate defected to the Russian side. “Ukraine’s Navy flagship the Hetman Sahaidachny has come over to our side today. It has hung out the St Andrew’s flag,” Senator Igor Morozov, a member of the committee on the international affairs, told Izvestia daily. He said the flagship is on ...
Letter trick spells freedom from Afghan jail for 12 Taliban

Kandahar (Afghanistan) (AFP) - A dozen Taliban fighters walked out of jail in southern Afghanistan thanks to a trick in which their names were added to a letter listing prisoners who had completed their sentences, officials said Sunday. The 12 men escaped from Kandahar city jail about three days ago -- the latest security breach at the facility which has suffered several Taliban jailbreaks in recent years. "The attorney general sent a letter to release 16 people," deputy police chief Rahmatullah Atrafee told AFP. "The 12 other names were added later, but it is unclear how it happened. They are all insurgents." Two of the 12 have since been recaptured, police said. ...

PressTV... At least 29 people have been killed and more than 130 others injured in a knife attack against a train station in southwestern China. Chinese police launched an investigation into Saturday’s mass stabbing incident in the city of Kunming in Yunnan province, which the Chinese media called an "organized, premeditated violent terrorist attack." "Severely punish in accordance with the law the violent terrorists and resolutely crack down on those who have been swollen with arrogance," said Chinese President Xi Jinping following the attack.

Sometimes you just have to fight fire with fire. And that is exactly what Mike Vanderboegh has chosen to do. The state of Connecticut wants to make a list – a list of gun owners. So, Vanderboegh has created his own list – a list of those state legislators who are insisting that certain firearms be banned or registered. If you recall, most of the gun owners who own these weapons have refused to register them, with tens of thousands of residents engaging in acts of quiet civil disobedience. The state responded by sending out letters, demanding that gun owners across the state turn in all of their newly-banned, unregistered firearms and magazines or face felony prosecution. ...
Intervene? Or End Syrian War?
Post Date: 2014-02-28 07:14:58 by Ada

Whether saber rattling or not, word is out that the White House is “rethinking its options” on intervening in the Syrian war. The collapse of John Kerry’s Geneva 2 talks between the rebels and regime, the lengthening casualty lists from barrel-bomb attacks, and a death toll approaching 150,000, are apparently causing second thoughts. All the usual suspects are prodding Obama to plunge in, if not with troops, at least with a no-fly zone to prevent Bashar Assad from using his air power. Our frustration is understandable. Yet it does not change the reality. This is not America’s war. Never was. As Obama said, it is “somebody else’s civil war.” Still, the ...
Washington's Man Yatsenyuk Setting Ukraine Up For Ruin

Ukraine’s interim prime minister, Arseniy “Yats” Yatsenyuk, may prove to be arsenic to the beleaguered nation. “Recall the phone exchange between the Ukraine ambassador and Victoria Nuland (Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs) that got leaked out, where she basically said ‘we want Yats in there.’ They like him because he’s pro Western,” says Vladimir Signorelli, president of boutique investment research firm Bretton Woods Research LLC in New Jersey. “Yatsenyuk is the the kind of technocrat you want if you want austerity, with the veneer of professionalism,” Signorelli said. “He’s the type of guy who can hobnob with ...

The FBI Announces Gangs Have Infiltrated Every Branch Of The Military

The FBI has released a new gang assessment announcing that there are 1.4 million gang members in the US, a 40 percent increase since 2009, and that many of these members are getting inside the military (via Stars and Stripes). The report says the military has seen members from 53 gangs and 100 regions in the U.S. enlist in every branch of the armed forces. Members of every major street gang, some prison gangs, and outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMGs) have been reported on both U.S. and international military installations. From the report: Through transfers and deployments, military-affiliated gang members expand their culture and operations to new regions nationwide and worldwide, ...
FBI’s Curious Silence about the Waltham Murders

Susan Zalkind, who has relentlessly followed the story of Ibragim Todashev, the friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev whom FBI killed back in May, has a long story in Boston Magazine. The whole thing is worthwhile (though beware the disturbing pictures of Todashev’s corpse). But I’m particularly fascinated by the way Zalkind chronicles when the FBI started asking people about Todashev’s possible involvement in the Waltham triple murder. She notes that the only person the FBI questioned about Todashev’s potential role in the murders while he was still alive (aside, presumably, from Todashev himself) was his girlfriend, Tatiana Gruzdeva. While he was being interviewed, Tatiana ...

Who’s in charge? Certainly not the bought-and-paid-for-moderates that Washington and the EU hoped to install as the new government of Ukraine. The agreement that the Washington and EU supported opposition concluded with President Yanukovich to end the crisis did not last an hour. Even the former boxing champion, Vitaly Klitschko, who was riding high as an opposition leader until a few hours ago has been booed by the rioters and shoved aside. The newly appointed president by what is perhaps an irrelevant parliament, Oleksandr Turchynov, has no support base among those who overthrew the government. As the BBC reports, “like all of the mainstream opposition politicians, Mr. ...
