'Terrorist' Cop Allowed To Run Wild & Assault Citizens With Impunity: Report
posted 09/30/2011, 3:25 AM (InformationLiberation) [Category: Tyranny/Police State] A police officer citizens are describing as a "thug and a terrorist" is reportedly being allowed to run wild violently assaulting dozens of citizens while facing zero scrutiny nor punishment. The police chief is even defending the officer's violent beating of a man in a diabetic coma, saying it was "within departmental policy and procedure." The officer is reportedly so violent a fellow officer resigned in disgust, "sighting Hobbs' out-of-control behavior and racist remarks as the reason why."

Divided, We Stand
posted 09/30/2011, 3:20 AM (Wendy McElroy) [Category: Commentary] One of the most destructive ideas in American history may be collapsing under its own unsupportable weight. Andrew Jackson stated the idea succinctly: "The people are the government …" In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln expanded, "government of the people, by the people, for the people."
Of the people means government consists of members drawn from the people, not from an elite or an invader. By the people means they are the ones in authority. For the peop... (more)

The FBI again thwarts its own Terror plot
posted 09/30/2011, 3:17 AM (Glenn Greenwald) [Category: Cover-Up/Deceptions] The FBI has received substantial criticism over the past decade -- much of it valid -- but nobody can deny its record of excellence in thwarting its own Terrorist plots. Time and again, the FBI concocts a Terrorist attack, infiltrates Muslim communities in order to find recruits, persuades them to perpetrate the attack, supplies them with the money, weapons and know-how they need to carry it out -- only to heroically jump in at the last moment, arrest the would-be perpetrators whom the FBI conv...

posted 09/30/2011, 3:15 AM (Associated Press) [Category: General] EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Sometime after midnight on a moonlit rural Oregon highway, a state trooper checking a car he had just pulled over found less than an ounce of pot on one passenger: A chatty 72-year-old woman blind in one eye.
She insisted the weed was legal and was approved by the U.S. government.

Starting from this Saturday, Danes will pay an extra 30p on each pack of butter, 8p on a pack of crisps, and an extra 13p on a pound of mince, as a result of the tax.
The tax is expected to raise about 2.2bn Danish Krone (£140m), and cut consumption of saturated fat by close to 10pc, and butter consumption by 15pc.
This is pure evil. Fats are good for you, just read the works of Weston A. Price. Bureaucrats said margarine was good for us, yet it's filled with trans-fats which they're now banning all over the place. These people are idiots and they have no business telling people what to eat. - Chris
