Julian Assange: So, those Hillary Clinton emails, they connect together with the cables that we have published of Hillary Clinton, creating a rich picture of how Hillary Clinton performs in office, but, more broadly, how the U.S. Department of State operates. So, for example, the disastrous, absolutely disastrous intervention in Libya, the destruction of the Gaddafi government, which led to the occupation of ISIS of large segments of that country, weapons flows going over to Syria, being pushed by Hillary Clinton, into jihadists within Syria, including ISIS, that’s there in those emails. There’s more than 1,700 emails in Hillary Clinton’s collection, that we have released, ...
Study Confirms Cannabis Makes You Peaceful — Alcohol Fuels Aggression

If anyone needs a reminder on the absurdity of the U.S. approach to drugs, consider the fact that cannabis is classified as a Schedule 1 drug with “no currently accepted medical use” and a “high potential for abuse,” while alcohol is not even included in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).Of course, alcohol is a drug, as any psychologist will tell you, with a high potential for abuse; and it’s not used as a treatment for medical conditions. Moderate alcohol use may have some health benefits, but heavy use can bring a host of negative health impacts.Still, alcohol is left to the states to regulate, untouched by the fateful 1970 CSA that began Nixon’s War on ...
Child Arrested, Thrown in Jail for Burping in Class, Court Rules this Police State Madness Justified

Albuquerque, NM — Albuquerque, New Mexico is home to some of the world’s most dangerous cops. After a recent federal appeals court ruling this week, the world now knows why they are likely never held accountable. In typical police state fashion, the court upheld the arrest and charges of a 13-year-old child — for burping in class.In what sounds like a piece from the Onion, the 10th circuit court of appeals ruled that the cop who arrested the child and the school staff were entitled to ‘immunity’ from any lawsuit filed against them on behalf of the child. The law the court cited in their ruling prohibits anyone from interfering with the educational ...
US Crime is at Historical Lows, Yet Police are Militarized and Prepping for War — Here’s Why

When a country wages military campaigns on a scale not fully disclosed to the public to feed the coffers of war profiteers, it cannot possibly be surprising when that militarism — so infused in the political propaganda masking it as national security — eventually comes home. Thus in 2016 — as the rule of the longest wartime president in U.S. history, Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama — draws to a close, it must be equally unsurprising the brief and altogether impotent attempt to demilitarize America’s police forces might soon be repealed. However, the State’s continued proselytizing on the need for domestic security and citizen safety proffered as the ...

UPPER DEERFIELD TWP., N.J. (WPVI) -- An investigation is underway after New Jersey State troopers shot a 76-year-old man inside his own home.The situation was brought on by a series of misunderstandings by police and the victim.Police responded to the home after dispatchers incorrectly traced a 911 call to Gerald Sykes house on the 300 block of Centerton Road in Upper Deerfield Township."Why was the first response to pump four rounds through a door?" said Ronald Lafalce.Lafalce was shocked and outraged as he showed us the holes from police bullets that nearly killed his father-in-law."Twice in the chest.

‘Dictator’ Kerry Kennedy is ruining family legacy By Maureen Callahan She claims to be a great advocate for human rights — but former employees tell The Post that behind closed doors, Kerry Kennedy is a monster who’s driving her father’s legacy into the ground. “For someone who’s a human-rights lawyer, I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who cares so little for the people who work for her,” says an employee who resigned from the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights. “She treats them so badly, belittling and embarrassing them in front of others. Everyone who works there is brilliant, but there is very high ...

It has been fascinating, a bit startling, but not truly shocking to witness the rise of Donald J. Trump as a contender for the presidency. He has managed to garner the support of millions of Americans despite an onslaught of evidence which reveals the superficial, inconsistent and at times entirely fabricated dimensions of his stump speeches and related conduct. The question that comes to mind for many is what is the allure of Mr. Trump and moreover how is it possible that his supporters seem unwilling to carefully assess the credibility of his declarations, prevarications and deflections. At this time it is well-known that people are angry with public officials, mistrust politicians ...
Koch network refusing to help Trump

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - From a luxury hotel on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, some of the nation's most powerful Republican donors are rebelling against Donald Trump. Billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, host of the exclusive weekend retreat, did not mention Trump by name as warned that political leaders are giving "frightening" answers to America's challenges. One of his chief lieutenants was more direct as he made clear that Koch's expansive political network would not use its tremendous resources to help Trump win this fall. "We're focused on the Senate," said Mark Holden, general counsel and senior vice president of Koch Industries. ...
Navy Ship to Be Named for Late Gay Rights Leader Harvey Milk

The late gay rights leader Harvey Milk already has schools, streets and parks named in his honor. Soon, a U.S. Navy ship will join the list. A Navy official said Friday that Navy Secretary Ray Mabus notified Congress earlier this month that a new fleet of replenishment oilers being built in San Diego will be named for Milk and five other civil and human rights icons. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because a public announcement is expected in the near future. More than two decades before he became one of the first openly gay candidates elected to public office, Milk spent four years in the Navy, first as an enlisted man and then as an officer in San Diego. He was serving ...

Supporters for Presidential nominee Donald Trump carry a banner at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.When J.D. Vance was a boy, his beloved grandmother “Mamaw” told her boozer husband that if he ever came home drunk again, she’d kill him. When he did, and passed out on the couch, she got a gasoline can, poured fuel all over him and dropped a lit match on his chest. He survived with mild burns, and later quit drinking. One time when J.D.’s mom took exception to something the boy said in the car, she hit the accelerator and sped up to 100 miles per hour, screaming that she was going to kill them both. When he jumped in the backseat hoping to protect ...

Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon continues to speak out about the benefits of medical marijuana, but in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated’s Maggie Gray, he upped the ante, saying the reason the NFL still prohibits cannabis is because the league is “in cahoots with big pharma.”Despite the proven benefits of cannabis, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell asserts its prohibition is ‘in the interest of the players.’ But, as McMahon flatly stated, “That’s BS.”Cannabis was responsible for ending his long-term use of dangerous narcotic painkillers, which he used to treat debilitating pain resulting from multiple injuries while playing ...

July has been a bad month for those leading the foolhardy charge against energy drinks. Earlier this month saw the quiet but welcome dismissal of a set of lawsuits against Monster, the maker of popular energy drinks. The suits, filed earlier this year by Morgan & Morgan, a Florida-based law firm, claimed just two cans of Monster could be deadly. "When the Monster lawsuit started earlier in 2016, the law firm Morgan & Morgan claimed two 16-ounce cans of Monster Energy contained a 'lethal dose' of caffeine and that 'overconsumption of energy drinks has led to heart attacks, strokes and even death,'" reported the news website Inquistr this week. "The ...

James Slatic, of Med-West Distributors, legally manufactures a beneficial medicine from the cannabis plant which helps thousands of people across the state of California. However, thanks to a tyrannical system and its army of thieving enforcers, Slatic is no longer able to help people and has had everything he owns stolen from him. In America, this thieving mafia tactic of robbing and shutting down legitimate businesses is called ‘justice.’ This November, California residents will vote on, and undoubtedly pass Proposition 64 (2016) The California Marijuana Legalization Initiative (#15-0103) also known as the “Adult Use of Marijuana Act.” The fear from ...

A new decree by Venezuela's government could make its citizens work on farms to tackle the country's severe food shortages. That "effectively amounts to forced labor," according to Amnesty International, which derided the decree as "unlawful." In a vaguely-worded decree, Venezuelan officials indicated that public and private sector employees could be forced to work in the country's fields for at least 60-day periods, which may be extended "if circumstances merit." "Trying to tackle Venezuela's severe food shortages by forcing people to work the fields is like trying to fix a broken leg with a band aid," Erika Guevara Rosas, ...

(CNN)Over four flag-waving days in Philadelphia, Democrats stole the Republicans' mojo. That's how many conservatives felt, at least, watching their opponent's pageant this week in Philadelphia. And it may be enough to sway some of them to cross the aisle on Election Day. "How can it be that I am standing at my kitchen counter sobbing because of the messages being driven at the DNC?" Republican strategist Rich Galen asked on Twitter. "Where has the GOP gone?" As Democratic delegates chanted "USA! USA!" and military leaders celebrated America's power, speaker after speaker at the Democratic National Convention struck themes that have long been ...

AFP/Getty Images John Hinckley Jr., 35-years after he tried to kill a president, has won his freedom.

The release could happen as early as next week, the judge ruled.

Orlando, FL — Thanks to the highly flawed means of testing for drugs and incompetent armed agents of the state enforcing immoral drug laws, a man’s donut got him arrested, strip searched, thrown in a cage and drug charges.Tens of thousands have been convicted and served time — even earning the black mark of a felony — for crimes they likely didn’t commit, a recent report found, because the cases against them relied on horribly unreliable field drug test kits.So prone to errors are the tests, courts won’t allow their submission as evidence. However, their continued use by law enforcement — coupled with a 90 percent rate at which drug cases are resolved ...

Manchester, CT — After the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012, Connecticut passed gun laws in April 2013 that made it amongst the most restrictive states in the country. However, residents can still traverse their way through the bureaucratic red tape and legally obtain a permit allowing them to open carry and conceal carry a firearm. It is the legal right of Connecticut residents to be able to move about freely while open carrying a firearm. In spite of this legal right and permitting process, Manchester police officers were captured on video unlawfully detaining and handcuffing three individuals. The result is nothing short of infuriating as multiple ...
SWAT Team Given ‘Medal of Valor’ for Killing 107-yo Man — Refuse Town’s Order to Give it Back

Neither tactical genius nor exceptional valor is necessary to bring about a bloodless end to a standoff involving a 107-year-old man armed with a handgun and surrounded by police officers inside an otherwise vacant house. Patience, discipline, and familiarity with the art of de-escalation would be sufficient for that purpose. But that approach doesn’t win official commendations, at least in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Members of the Pine Bluff PD’s SWAT team were awarded “lifesaving medal of valor” awards following a September 7, 2013 standoff that ended with 107-year-old Monroe Isadore dying in a torrential outburst of gunfire. Let it not be said that the department is ...
Clinton Over the Hump, and Trump Gets a Bump

After Donald Trump picked Mike Pence to be his running mate two weeks ago -- that feels like two months ago, right? -- we suggested that Trump could end up taking at least a temporary lead because of the convention bounce that presidential candidates typically get after their conventions. It appears that Trump has in fact gotten a bounce, at least in some polls. The most dramatic change so far came in the CNN/ORC poll, which shifted all the way from a seven-point Hillary Clinton lead to a three-point Trump edge. On the other hand, the NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll didn’t change at all (it showed a 46%-45% Clinton lead both before and after the convention), and there were some other ...

By Steven MaxwellProhibition of cannabis is over. It may not be legally over yet, but in the minds of men and women, it’s over. A new YouGov poll shows a new record high of Americans now support the legalization of marijuana by a widening gap. Americans that support legalization grew to 55% while those who support prohibition fell to 33%. The poll showed for the first time a majority of republican voters now support marijuana legalization. Not for medical cannabis, mind you, because a large majority already supported that. A majority of GOP voters now support full legalization for all uses, including recreational. With several more states voting to legalize ...
