Neocon John Bolton Tells a Big Lie about Iran

National Security Adviser John Bolton is lying again. He says the US has no intention of invading Iran, taking it back to the Stone Age like he and his fellow neocons did to Iraq in 2003. On Tuesday, the Washington Examiner reported: A reporter told Bolton there was speculation that the decision [exiting the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] was a “precursor to the U.S. putting boots on the ground in Iran.” “They would be badly mistaken,” Bolton said at the off-camera briefing. Bolton might be right. No boots on the ground—just a sustained air campaign to destroy anything of value on the ground (and underneath). This is the ultimate objective. Make ...
Stasi State - The NSA Continues to Abuse Americans by Intercepting Their Telephone Calls

One of the few positive things in the ill-named USA FREEDOM Act, enacted in 2015 after the Snowden revelations on NSA domestic spying, is that it required the Director of National Intelligence to regularly report on its domestic surveillance activities. On Friday, the latest report was released on just how much our own government is spying on us. The news is not good at all if you value freedom over tyranny.According to the annual report, named the Statistical Transparency Report Regarding Use of National Security Authorities, the US government intercepted and stored information from more than a half-billion of our telephone calls and text messages in 2017. That is a 300 percent increase ...
No More Cop Cars

Five years or so from now, there may be no more cop cars.Vehicles used by cops, certainly. But not cars. These are being retired – in the Bladerunner taking-care-of-the-Replicants sense. Ford just announced they won’t be making the Taurus – which is the basis for the Taurus cop car – for much longer. So there goes that one. The other one is the Dodge Charger, extremely popular with law-enforcers because of its rear-drive layout and powerful Hemi V8 engine.But – savor the irony – the government’s fuel economy fatwas have made it very hard for any car company to continue mass-producing such a car, and the Charger is the last such car left on the field. ...
US company linked to Russian oligarch paid $500,000 to Cohen [Full Thread]

Avenatti alleged that Cohen received the following payments after the 2016 election: approximately half-a-million dollars from a company linked to Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian oligarch with close ties to the Kremlin; nearly $400,000 from pharmaceutical giant Novartis; $150,000 from Korea Aerospace Industries and $200,000 from telecommunications conglomerate AT&T. The payments were made to the same bank account that Cohen had created in 2016 to execute the now infamous hush payment to Daniels, Avenatti said. The stakes are sky-high for Cohen, who is currently under a federal criminal investigation by the US attorney's office in Manhattan and had his home, hotel room and office ...
Witnesses Watch in Horror as Cop Kills Tiny Groundhog for ‘Acting Oddly’ (Cop "feared for his life")

Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist Carroll County, MD — A very graphic and hard to watch video has surfaced prompting backlash toward the Carroll County Sheriff’s office in Maryland after it showed one of their deputies shoot and kill a tiny ground hog. According to the department spokesperson, Cpl. Jon Light, the deputy stopped and killed the ground hog because it was ‘acting oddly.’ To be entirely fair, many times animals become rabid and need to be put down as they pose a danger to the public. Many times, police officers are the ones who need to do this as it is often required of their duties. However, according to the department, it was unclear ...

Fort Lauderdale, FL — An infuriating video has surfaced this week showing a police officer harassing an innocent motorist over the darkness of his window tint—and likely his skin color too. The detainment and extortion of innocent motorists for dark windows is a terrible injustice, as TFTP has consistently reported, which makes this video twice as infuriating. During the stop, the man filming the interaction caught the cop on camera violating his rights while abusing his own K9 partner too. According the person who posted the video, who goes by the name DePastor Yoo, on Facebook, he was driving home Saturday night when he was targeted by an officer with the Wilton Manors Police ...

Chad Larner, the training director of the K-9 Training Academy in Macon County, Illinois said in a recent interview that police departments throughout the state may have to euthanize drug dogs if marijuana is legalized. Larner said that it would be abusive to retrain the dogs and that it could even be impossible. He also said that the dogs are trained to not be social because that is what the job requires. According to The Pantagraph “, Because many K-9s are trained not to be social so their work won’t be affected, Larner said a number of dogs would likely have to be euthanized.” Other police in the state seemed to have similar feelings on the subject. ...

Among the weapons were three assault rifles — including a Fabrique Nationale model with a 50-round clip and two AK-47-style guns. Harvey, who has no prior criminal record, was charged with multiple count of illegal weapons possession. ...

Residents have a new ally in fight to grow vegetables in their front yard

The Florida Senate Community Affairs committee approved of a bill on Tuesday that prohibits cities and counties from regulating where residents could grow vegetable gardens. If the bill, originally filed in the Florida Senate as SB 1776 last month by Sen. Aaron Bean, R-Fernandina Beach, and Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Orange Park, sounds familiar, that’s because the battle has played out in Miami Shores for the past five years. In 2013, village residents Hermine Ricketts and Tom Carroll were ordered to uproot a 17-year-old vegetable garden they had grown in their front yard or pay a daily $50 fine. The bill still has several more hurdles to pass before it can be officially voted upon. ...
CPS Tries to Kidnap Toddler After Mom Stopped Her Seizures with CBD Oil

When a mother tried cannabidiol as a treatment for her young daughter, who was having nearly 40 seizures per day, she was amazed by the effects and thought she had finally found a solution after pharmaceutical drugs failed to work. However, after her prayers were answered, the state stepped in and threatened to take her daughter away. Lelah Jerger’s daughter, Jaelah, began having spasms when she was only 6 months old. Quickly, those spasms turned into seizures and Jaelah was given antiepileptics, pharmaceutical medications designed to control seizures. Not only was the medication not effective, but Jerger said it produced harmful side effects that created even more problems. ...

For a moment, after the off-duty officer produced his pistol, Jose Arreola considered how he might die over a $1.19 pack of Mentos. Arreola had already paid for the mints in an Orange County gas station March 16 and slid them into his pocket. The officer behind him, clad in black shorts and a sweatshirt, appears to think he sees a crime in progress. The officer reaches for his semiautomatic pistol, and in a quick action, pulls back the pistol slide to chamber a round, a video shows. “Give that back … police officer,” he tells a stunned Arreola. Recounting the event later to the Orange County Register, Arreola envisioned how the next few moments could unfold. “I thought ...

LBANY, New York — New York may change the terms "fireman" and "policeman" to more gender-neutral terms. The state Legislature in recent weeks passed a bill that would change the wording of fireman and policeman to more gender-neutral terms like “firefighter” and “police officer" in all references in state laws. “Women make up an important part of our police force and fire houses, and it’s time New York state laws reflect that,” Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, D- Bronx, said in a statement Tuesday when the chamber passed the measure. “This updated language demonstrates our respect and appreciation for all of our first ...

The president's aggressive but rudderless trade policy is watering the swamp.President Donald Trump's threat to start a trade war with China by imposing tariffs on steel, aluminum, and potentially thousands of other goods is rattling global markets and causing serious economic pain for American businesses and consumers. But at least the lobbyists are happy. Federal lobbyists reported pulling in more than $90 million for work related to "tariffs" during the first quarter of 2018, up from just $10 million spent on the same issue during the final quarter of 2017, according to an analysis by The Daily Beast's Lachlan Markay and Betsy Woodruff.

Gun Owners of America – by Michael Hammon Illegal Bump Stock Regs to go beyond Johnson, Clinton, and Obama in Anti-Gun Reach! When campaigning, Donald Trump said he would respect and honor the Second Amendment. Instead, he continues to push ahead on bump stock regulations which would turn 500,000 gun owners into felons. And the regulations would arguably do the same for the millions of Americans who own semi-automatic rifles. This is in addition to signing the “Fix NICS” infested omnibus bill that will send millions of new names to the national gun ban list. Let’s start with the obvious: Trump’s proposed regulation — currently open for ...

Our watchdog group filed a complaint with the Department of Justice and the Office of Government Ethics on Thursday, asking officials to investigate whether Giuliani’s disclosures show that Trump violated federal ethics laws or laws against making false statements. The Ethics in Government Act requires filers of public financial disclosure forms, including the president, to disclose any liabilities worth more than $10,000. Giuliani repeatedly acknowledged on Wednesday and Thursday that Trump owed Cohen $250,000, accounting for the $130,000 payment to Daniels and associated taxes and fees. But Trump’s public financial disclosure report last summer didn’t list any debts to ...

Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg has admitted that his social media platform will ramp up “news suppression” ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. Although the term “news suppression” is being used, let’s call it what it is: censorship. Zuckerberg will “dial up the intensity” of censorship in hopes that he can weaponize his social media platform to help elect leftists. Zuckerberg stated this week that the social media firm has plans to further crack down on “fake news” (news liberals don’t like) on the platform via “suppression” of certain news publications. BuzzFeed News reported that Zuckerberg ...
