(Reuters) - The leader of an Alaska militia group and one of his followers were found guilty on Monday of conspiracy to commit murder and of various weapons offenses in a plot to kill government officials and law enforcement officers. But a U.S. District Court jury in Anchorage failed to reach a unanimous verdict on a murder conspiracy charge against a third co-defendant in a case that federal prosecutors said highlighted a rise in anti-government militancy in recent years. The prosecution of Schaeffer Cox, 28, founder of the Alaska Peacekeepers Militia, and two followers, also tested the limits of free-speech rights and the point at which violent talk can be interpreted as a threat to ...
Why Lying to Kids is a Good Thing

The only time it’s required to tell the truth is if the person has to know the truth. Sometimes, and most especially for kids, it’s necessary to tell them lies. Of course, it depends on how you define lies. Lying to kids is a form of play, and that kind of lying is necessary for them to grow up and be good people. Play is a rehearsal for growing up, and as such necessary to becoming an adult. Kittens and puppies play all the time, much to the damage of my fingers and hands. For children, one of the ways adults help children grow up is to lie to them through amusing stories. Stories are a way to transfer the accumulated wisdom of the human race from adult to child. The ones that ...
'Dear TSA: I am not your customer'

The Transportation Security Administration has taken quite a beating in the news cycle so far this year. In late April, screeners were caught taking bribes to allow drugs to pass through Los Angeles International Airport. Recently, a 4-year-old was detained, yelled at, patted down and otherwise terrorized for hugging her grandmother, who hadn't completed screening yet. In April, the TSA made us safer by terrorizing a 7-year-old with cerebral palsy. CBS DC reported that Dina Frank cannot use metal detectors because she walks with crutches and leg braces. The thorough pat-down of the 7-year-old caused the family to miss their flight. No doubt such incidents will prompt people to call ...
Sometimes, Homeschooling Ain’t All it’s Cracked Up To Be

My kids and I finished our 8th year of homeschooling two weeks ago. It was the very best year we’ve ever had, in spite of being interrupted by endless sessions of editing my book and then launching the book in March, complete with lots of interviews and excitement. As I think about our 8 years as a homeschooling family, I have to be honest. It hasn’t all been happy faces and gold stars. There are some downsides that not many of us like to talk about. 1.At times, your children will be outsiders. They won’t be hip to all the latest fashion trends, video games, music, and fads. Many of these are fun and harmless, but it will be your kids who may seem like the odd man out ...
US military intervention in Syria – “Not if but when”

As the violence in Syria continued to go from bad to worse in scope and intensity, US official sources had this to say Saturday, June 16, about planned US military operations in the war-torn country: “The intervention will happen. It is not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when.’” A Syrian Free Army rebel delegation is now in Washington to talk about their requests for heavy weapons from the Obama administration. In their meetings with US Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford and the State Department’s expert on Syria Fred Hof, the rebel leaders handed in two lists for approval: types of heavy weapons capable of challenging Bashar Assad’s armed forces and selected ...
Ban Weaponized Drones from the World

Meticulous researchers have documented that U.S. drones are killing many innocent civilians in Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere. Drones are making the world less stable and creating new enemies. Their remoteness provides those responsible with a sense of immunity. Weaponized drones are no more acceptable than land mines, cluster bombs, or chemical weapons. The world must renounce and forbid their manufacture, possession, or use. Violators must be held accountable. We, the undersigned organizations and individuals, urge the United Nations Secretary General to investigate the concerns of Navi Pillay, the U.N.'s top human rights official, that drone attacks violate international law -- ...
Hubris as the Evil Force in History

I have always been intrigued by the Battle of Bull Run, the opening battle of the US Civil War, known to southerners as the War of Northern Aggression. Extreme hubris characterized both sides, the North before the battle and the South afterwards. Republican politicians and their ladies in their finery road out to Manassas, the Virginia town through which the stream, Bull Run, flowed, in carriages to watch the Union Army end the “Southern Rebellion” in one fell swoop. What they witnessed instead was the Union Army fleeing back to Washington with its tail between its legs. The flight of the northern troops promoted some southern wags to name the battle, the Battle of Yankee Run. ...

A Tunisian military court has sentenced Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to life in prison for the killings of protesters during last year’s popular revolution that ousted the longtime dictator. The verdict was handed down in absentia on Wednesday after a six-month trial at the military court in the northwestern city of El Kef, about 170 kilometers (105 miles) west of the capital Tunis, AFP reported. Prosecutors had demanded death penalty for Ben Ali, who is in Saudi Arabia with his wife since he fled Tunisia on January 14, 2011. Earlier in the day, a military court in Tunis sentenced him in absentia to 20 years in prison on diverse charges including incitement to murder. Ben Ali has ...

What Happened in Wisconsin...Won't Stay in Wisconsin Armando Chapelliquen With a few days to separate us from Tuesday’s Wisconsin recall election, I cannot say I am terribly surprised by the outcome of the race. Even more unsurprising though is the media’s coverage of the race. Yes Walker won the rematch against Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett by a comfortable margin. Yes Walker outspent Barrett 7 to 1. Yes Barrett was not necessarily the bold progressive Wisconsinites necessarily wanted. Yes this paints a terrifying picture of how November is going to play out. Wait what? It should be no secret that I personally considered the Wisconsin gubernatorial recall to being the ...

It is at times useful to imagine how a truly laissez-faire society, one entirely emancipated from the shackles of state coercion, might exist and operate. Morris and Linda Tannehill examine this very idea in The Market for Liberty: Is Government Really Necessary? The Market for Liberty imagines a totally free society — one with no government intrusion whatsoever — in which the free market is left to respond to the demands of individuals without recourse to institutionalized coercion, implied or actual. Is such a stateless existence even possible, much less preferable? Or, as so many contend, is it merely an academically contrived utopia? Morris and Linda Tannehill address all ...

Obama Vs Romney - The Battle Of The Metrosexuals By Gerald Celente 5-21-12 KINGSTON, NY, 21 May 2012 — A recent Newsweek cover provocatively depicted Barack Obama beneath a glowing rainbow halo and carried the bold headline, “The First Gay President.” Days later, The New York Times broke the story of a billionaire-funded smear campaign that labeled the President a “metrosexual black Abe Lincoln.” The incendiary magazine cover and the revelatory Times piece set off a firestorm of commentary and accusations replete with racial overtones and sexual innuendos. While the sensationalistic Newsweek cover can be brushed aside as an obvious sales gimmick, the metrosexual ...

At a time when many Americans can barely afford Burger King and a movie, Obama boasts of spending a billion dollars on his re-election campaign. Questioned at a recent appearance about the spiraling fuel costs, Obama said, “Get used to it” – and with an insouciant grin and chortle, he told another person at the event, who complained about the effect high fuel prices were having on his family, to “get a more fuel-efficient car.” The Obamas behave as if they were sharecroppers living in a trailer and hit the Powerball, but instead of getting new tires for their trailer and a new pickup truck, they moved to Washington. And instead of making possum pie, with goats and ...

“Crowds Cheer Queen On Last Day of Jubilee” So ran the headline from Time. Yesterday marked the end of the “Diamond Jubilee” of Queen Elizabeth II of the British monarchy. The four day celebration was is honor of her ascendancy to the throne sixty years ago. On the closing day, crowds of well-wishers gathered to cheer on her majesty by chanting “God Save the Queen!” as she addressed the nation. While the Queen holds little political power today, she and the royal family remain incredibly popular. Throughout the festivities, an estimated 1.5 million people paid their respects to the royal dynasty. Is there something wrong with this picture? Monarchies are ...
Rolling Stone publishes emails from ‘America’s last prisoner of war’

Rolling Stone published on Thursday a story—"America's Last Prisoner of War"—about Bowe Bergdahl, a 26-year-old U.S. soldier from Idaho captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2009. The 8,000-plus word piece—written by Michael Hastings, whose "Runaway General" profile in 2010 led to the dismissal of U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal—includes excerpts of the last email Bergdahl sent to his parents before he was captured. In the email, dated June 27, 2009, Bergdahl wrote that he had become disillusioned by the war, and was "ashamed" to be an American: "The future is too good to waste on lies," Bowe wrote. "And life is way ...

The big news out of New York City these days is Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s proposed ban on the sale of soda drinks over 16-ounces (about 1/2 liter) at restaurants, movie theaters, sports stadia, street carts, fast food chains, etc. Bloomberg stressed that we have a responsibility to combat obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and that the government must consequently regulate what people can/cannot put in their bodies. Michelle Obama even came down to applaud the idea. Last night I was out with a group of friends at a chic Soho restaurant called the Dutch, and we started talking about the soda ban. One of them defended it, saying that ‘we’ have a responsibility to do ...

"There was an attack late last night on the United States office in Benghazi," AFP quoted a US diplomat as saying on Wednesday. The official added that the improvised explosive device detonated outside the gate of the consulate, but no one was injured. However, Libyan authorities said a guard was wounded. "The US deplores the attack on its diplomatic mission in Benghazi," the diplomat stated. He also said that the US requested Libyan authorities to enhance security around US facilities in the North African country. A senior interior ministry official said the attacker's car was identified. Benghazi is the birthplace of the Libyan uprising, which ousted former ...

A Blasphemy Conviction in Kansas

Taking a bold stand against a non-existent threat, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed a measure that would ban judges in that state from making rulings derived from "Islamic Shariah law." Presumably this would protect residents of the Jayhawk State from the prospect of being punished for committing blasphemy against Mohammed. However, the measure leaves judges free to inflict draconian punishments for other forms of public impiety. Witness the case of Michael Gaines. In July 2008, Mr. Gaines – who looks and sounds like practically every character ever played by Samuel L. Jackson – was sentenced to thirteen years in prison. This was ostensibly for "Battery of a ...
