Stolen Lives, Protected Criminals: The Wrongful Imprisonment of Christopher Tapp
By William Norman Grigg

February 6, 2016

*** begin quote ***

There are abundant reasons to be grateful that we do not live under the Old Testament “lex talonis” legal covenant, and one compelling reason to lament that this is so: Under the system of justice described in the Book of Deuteronomy, a lying police officer and corrupt prosecutor who falsely convicted an innocent man would be required to suffer the punishment intended for their victim.

Under that legal principle, former Idaho Falls Police Detective Jared Fuhriman and former Bonneville County District Attorney Kip Manwaring would be serving a sentence of 30 years to life for the wrongful murder conviction of Christopher Conley Tapp.

*** end quote ***

Well, not only do we need to call the politicians and bureaucrats to “fix” the concept of “sovereign immunity” that protects the police and prosecutors from their abuses. Some of the stuff that gets reported is absolutely inexcusable. We’re not talking about a minor mistake or flub; these stories document prosecutorial or police criminal abuse.

Also, the courts need to be open to ANY appeal that could prove one’s innocence. I don’t care if it was evidence available at the time of trial, new DNA capabilities, or ineffective counsel / abusive prosecutorial conduct. The door should be always OPEN for proof of innocence. If I was President, I’d take these cases under advisement. 

Better a hundred guilty go free, than one innocent is in jail.

Just think, the unlucky stiff in jail could be YOU!

GUNS: The Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee doesn’t tolerate guns

Actor Faces 5 Years In Prison For Using Pellet Gun On Movie Set
Written by: Daniel Jennings  Current Events February 4, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Bellario is hardly the first law-abiding citizen to run afoul of the Garden State’s draconian gun control regime. In November 2014, Gordon van Gilder, a 72-year-old retired school teacher, faced a similar sentence for carrying an unloaded 250-year-old antique pistol in his car. Chargers were later dropped.

*** end quote ***

Yup that sure makes sense.

Not like there is any gun violence in the Pepuls Republic of Nu Jerzee.

Argh!

Mainstream Media has Lost Control: Let the Whining Begin
By Bionic Mosquito
February 6, 2016

*** begin quote ***

I guess we should ignore a leading German journalist who says he was bribed by the CIA; Operation Mockingbird, which never happened and even if it did no one would do such a thing today; pro-war media pundits who are on the payroll of defense contractors and others who benefit from international conflict; the official 911 investigation team was fed lies.

*** end quote ***

“Move along, people. Nothing to see here. Go home, you kooky-loos.”
— Officer Barbrady’s Catch Phrase South Park

Today, “We, The Sheeple” are given the “Super Bowl”. 

It distracts them to watch MP4B (“Millionaires Playing For Billionaires”) while BHO44 fiddles and the world burns.

Maybe it’s better that the folks on this modern day Titanic don’t consider what happens when they hit one of the many “icebergs” in their path — the debt, the deficit, the current 20T+ national debt and the guesstimated 300T+ in unfunded liabilities that our posterity will have to deal with, the abortion genocide, and unstable world political arrangement.

No, keep your eye on the football, citizen, since that is ALL that really matters.

Argh!

RANT: Is this one of the “few enumerated powers”?

Saturday, February 6, 2016

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/02/06/california-based-beauty-school-to-close-all-55-campuses.html?intcmp=hplnws

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. –  A Beverly Hills-based beauty school says it’s closing all 56 of its campuses in five states after losing federal funding over allegations of misconduct.

Marinello Schools of Beauty has been in business for over a century. It shut facilities this week in California, Nevada, Utah, Kansas and Connecticut.

# – # – # – # – # 

My question is why is the Federal Gooferment involved in “student loans”?

Where in the Constitution is this one of the “few enumerated powers”?

It may be a State regulatory concern — are the students being defrauded — but why is the Federal Gooferment doing anything?

Argh!

Lawmakers Introduce Bill Requiring Women to Register for Draft
Republican representatives look to spur national debate
By FELICIA SCHWARTZ

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON—Two Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Thursday that would require women to register for the draft in a step meant to advance a national debate about the Pentagon’s decision in December to open all military combat positions to women.

*** end quote ***

How about we save some money and ELIMINATE the draft and all those cushy patronage jobs?

MONEY: Stealing what’s left of your wealth

So The Seizure Begins: Bloomberg Op-Ed Calls For An End Of Cash
by ZeroHedge • February 1, 2016

*** begin quote ***

In a moment of curious serendipity, a little over 90 minutes after we showed what a dystopian, centrally-planned, cashless society unleashed in a negative interest rate world would look like (“by forcing people and companies to convert their paper money into bank deposits, the hope is that they can be persuaded (coerced?) to spend that money rather than save it because those deposits will carry considerable costs”), and briefly after we laid out the countless recent warnings from “very serious people” that cash is evil and should be banned:

*** end quote ***

This is all about stealing what little wealth the people have left.

The “powers that be” keep figuring out ways to force people to support the fat cat businesses.

Argh!

GUNS: The antigun movement wants to control everyone

Wednesday, February 3, 2016

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/01/no_author/ultimate-goal-anti-gunners/

The Ultimate Goal of the Antigun Movement
By Roger J. Katz AmmoLand.com
January 29, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Realization of the movement’s goal amounts to de facto repeal of the fundamental right of the people to keep and bear arms – a right expressed clearly and cogently, succinctly and indelibly, in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Yet, if there exist any residual doubt as to the import of that right, the U.S. Supreme Court laid such doubt to rest in the 2008 Heller and 2010 McDonald decisions.

*** end quote ***

When any of the “anti-gun” on the Left, OR the Right, talk, then we need to be very afraid.

It takes a Gooferment to commit genocide.

Just remember, the politicians and bureaucrats are restricted to what the can do to “minorities”! (AND we are all some kind of “minority”.) 

I don’t understand why this is not as obvious to everyone as it is to me.

Has anyone remember what Stalin, PolPot, or Mao did. (By comparison, Hitler was a piker!)

And, I get enraged when folks say “it can’t happen here”. Remember the Japanese Americans, the American Indians, or any “minority”?

Molon labe.

TECHNOLOGY: Worried about remote overrides to stop stolen car?

Tuesday, February 2, 2016

TECHTech Q&A: Saving money on Internet, finding Wi-Fi dead spots
By Kim Komando  Published January 31, 2016  The Kim Komando Show

*** begin quote ***

Q. I love the technology coming out in high-end cars. When do you think I’ll get it in an affordable car?

A. You can expect high-end features like autopilot, “driver overrides” that take control before a crash, and remote overrides to stop stolen cars, in most cars by 2020. However, add-ons like heads-up-displays, fingerprint key fobs and dash cams should be available sooner, and you can even find some now. Learn more about car tech you’ll see soon that will keep you safe.

*** end quote ***

Well, they better improve security before they do this. 

I can see the bad guys following a pretty young girl until they come to an “opportune location” and hitting the “remote override stop”. Instant victim.

Yes, maybe I’m paranoid who sees monsters behind every turn.

GOLDBUG: Germany Repatriate 200 Tons

Monday, February 1, 2016

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/01/no_author/germans-mistrust-fed/

Uncertain Times Sees Germany Repatriate 200 Tonnes Of Gold Bullion
By Mark O’Byrne
GoldCore
January 29, 2016

*** begin quote ***

The Bundesbank’s repatriation of 200 tonnes of gold bullion reaffirms the fact that central banks today still view gold as a vital safe haven reserve currency and monetary asset. It also indicates a lack of trust between central banks and specifically with the Federal Reserve, whose gold reserves have not been audited in over 50 years and many have doubts about the integrity of those reserves.

*** end quote ***

I got my gold. Do you?

Do you trust the Gooferment, politicians, or bureaucrats?

I don’t!

Why do you?

RANT: CDC Cover-Up

Sunday, January 31, 2016

CDC Cover-Up of Autism and Vaccine Link Continues
By Dr. David Brownstein
Dr. Brownstein’s Blog
January 29, 2016

*** begin quote ***

However, the very same U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has refused to call a hearing about another health crisis—whether or not childhood vaccines cause autism.

In August, 2014, a senior CDC researcher, Dr. William Thompson came forward and sought whistleblower status by claiming that an important 2004 paper from the CDC—which found no correlation with the MMR vaccine and autism–was fraudulent. According to Dr. Thompson, the CDC researchers actually found that the MMR vaccine, when given before 36 months of age (it is presently recommended at 12-15 months and again at five years) was significantly correlated with the development of autism. However, the CDC, in a closed-door meeting, altered the data to hide their findings. Furthermore, the authors of this 2004 paper were told, by their bosses at the CDC, to throw out and not disclose any information that showed a correlation of the MMR vaccine with autism.

I have written to about this travesty many times.

*** end quote ***

My problems is that there is no “honesty” in Gooferment.

I am more firmly convinced that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

The politicians and bureaucrats have indemnified Big Pharma by the “vaccine harm fund”. SO there is no way to make them pay for their mistakes.

And, of course, a cover up is usually worse than the crime.

I hope whomever is the new President can “clean house”.

But, I fear, that’s too much to hope for.

Argh!

I don’t envy the decision any parent has to make. And, the fact that there are no “facts” to guide them makes it even worse. At least, the old tribal witch doctor didn’t have a conflict of interest. Too many bad results and he’d be sacrificed to appease the gods. Maybe we should try that approach?
