Snowden deserves political asylum – Russian HR officials

  Members of the Russian Presidential Council for Human rights said that it would be justified if the US whistleblower Edward Snowden received political asylum in a country of his choice, including Russia. The head of Russia’s top official Human Rights Body, Mikhail  Fedotov, told reporters on Wednesday that it would be just if  some country grants Snowden political asylum. He added that the  reports that the Venezuelan government was ready to look into  such request were “raising good hope” and that it was his  personal impression that the whistleblower “would get  political asylum where he wants”. “He must be… View Article

California man faces 13 years in jail for scribbling anti-bank messages in chalk

                      Jeff Olson, the 40-year-old man who is being prosecuted for scrawling anti-megabank messages on sidewalks in water-soluble chalk last year now faces a 13-year jail sentence. A judge has barred his attorney from mentioning freedom of speech during trial. According to the San Diego Reader, which reported on Tuesday that  a judge had opted to prevent Olson’s attorney from “mentioning the First Amendment, free  speech, free expression, public forum, expressive conduct, or  political speech during the trial,” Olson must now stand  trial for on 13 counts of vandalism.

Enemy of freedom Lindsey Graham says he would support censoring mail for ‘national security’ purposes

  If there is any remaining doubt in your mind about the fact that the federal  government today has been completely overrun by sociopathic, freedom-hating  enemies of the U.S. Constitution, some recent absurd statements made by South  Carolina Senator (and full-fledged American traitor) Lindsey Graham, a  Republican, should put all such doubt to rest. When questioned recently  about the unveiling of the massive and insanely illegal National Security  Agency (NSA) spying and surveillance program, which involved tracking the  online activities of innocent Americans without warrant, Graham expressed his  full approval for the initiative. He also went a step further, indicating… View Article

Senate Holds Hearings on Bill C-304

              Last week, the Senate  of Canada passed Bill C-304 on Second Reading and sent the bill onto the Standing  Senate Committee on Human Rights.  Bill C-304 is a private  members bill which will repeal the ravenous censorship of Section 13, of  the Canadian “Human Rights” Act.  Section 13 makes it an  offence to “likely” “expose” privileged groups to  “hatred and/or contempt.” There are NO defences under Section  13!  Even truth and intent are considered irrelevant to a finding of  discrimination. The law was enacted in 1977 in  order to silence a man named… View Article

97% Opposed To TSA Body Scanners

                    After two and a half years of stalling, delaying and ignoring court orders, the TSA this week finally completed its public notice and comment rulemaking period regarding the mass rollout of body scanners in airports. The results don’t look good for the agency. Comments ranged from covering the health issues surrounding the machines, to the invasion of privacy, and the fact that the machines can be fooled and fairly easily bypassed by anyone who has the know how. The TSA says it has been able to process 4,321 comments thus… View Article

NJ couple facing fine over bird feeder

  RAMSEY, N.J. (CBSNewYork)  – A Bergen County, N.J., couple has been ordered to appear in court – for the offense of feeding the birds in their own backyard. As CBS 2’s John Slattery reported, the Borough of Ramsey told Annette and Alfred Rockefeller they are not just feeding the birds – they are illegally feeding wildlife. Alfred Rockefeller, 77, comes from the famous bloodline. “Well, the original John D. had a brother. I’m descended from the brother,” he said. “He didn’t have the money, just the name.” And now, his name is on a summons from the borough. The… View Article

            A friend of Michael Hastings told Fox News today that the Rolling Stone journalist was working on “the biggest story yet” about the CIA before his suspicious death and that Hastings drove “like a grandma,” making it extremely out of character for him to be speeding in the early hours of the morning. Sgt. Joe Biggs told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly that “something didn’t feel right” after Hastings sent a panicked email saying the authorities were on his tail, adding that the story of him driving at high speed in the early hours of… View Article

Police departments actually sell the guns for profit

                (NaturalNews) It has become trendy in the liberal/progressive world of  anti-Second Amendment advocates to entice gun owners to voluntarily turn in  their weapons via dubious “buyback” programs that ostensibly work to reduce the  number of firearms on city streets. Such programs are operated by police  departments who, presumably, either keep the weapons that are purchased or  destroy them so they don’t wind up in the wrong hands. Little did most Americans  know that some departments are actually selling those buy-back guns to gun  dealers so they can be resold to the general… View Article
