The State Department has helped to relocate tens of thousands of refugees from the war-torn African nation of Somalia to Minnesota, where they can take advantage of some of America’s most generous welfare and charity programs. But the effort is having the unintended consequence of creating an enclave of immigrants with high unemployment that is both stressing the state’s safety net and creating a rich pool of potential recruiting targets for Islamist terror groups. In the fiscal year that ended in September, Minnesota welcomed 1,118 Somali refugees arriving directly from Africa, most of them without family ties to the state, according to State Department statistics. Overall, ...

The Guardian has reported that Chicago Police are operating a secret detention facility that mirrors the CIA’s “black sites.” From violations of due process to torture, the revelations raise serious concerns about the deteriorating state of freedom and justice in the United States.

Smoking Marijuana is 114 Times Safer Than Drinking Alcohol – Study
Post Date: 2015-02-25 09:09:06 by Deckard
13 Comments
As the debate over marijuana legalization continues in the United States, a new study suggests that smoking the controversial plant is about 114 times safer than drinking alcohol. In fact, alcohol was found to be the deadliest drug on an individual level, at least when it comes to the likelihood of a person dying due to consuming a lethal dose. Heroin and cocaine were the next most deadly substances, followed by tobacco, ecstasy, and meth. Trailing up the rear was marijuana. According to the team of international researchers behind the study, published in the journal ‘Scientific Reports,’ the findings suggest that marijuana risks – at least those related to mortality – ...

Teary-eyed New York City police officers on Tuesday honored a 10-year-old Texas girl who sent hundreds of thank you cards to the NYPD after two officers were fatally shot. "My goal is to tell as many police officers as I can that I love them, and I am thankful for all that they do for us," Savannah Solis told officers at a Bronx precinct. Watching TV at home in Tyler, Texas, she was moved to create some 200 cards for members of the New York Police Department after Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were shot in their patrol car Dec. 20. "She just couldn't understand how can someone do this to these officers that were risking their lives to protect the public," ...

A Texas jury has found a former Marine guilty of murdering famed Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle and Kyle's friend Chad Littlefield. Eddie Ray Routh has been on trial for the February 2013 murders of Kyle and Littlefield at a Texas gun range. The judge instructed the jury of 10 women and two men that they were to consider three possible decisions: guilty, not guilty, or not guilty by reason of insanity. After they found Routh guilty, Littlefield's mother, Judy Littlefield, thanked reporters "for being so compassionate" and added, “We’re so thrilled that we have the verdict that we have tonight."

Ft. Lauderdale, FL– A video uploaded to YouTube on Sunday shows Fort Lauderdale police officer Victor Ramirez harassing and assaulting an elderly gentleman at the Broward Bus Terminal in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The man is not being aggressive or threatening in any way when he is shoved to the ground and slapped by the officer. The man was reportedly trying to use the bus terminal’s restroom. “The guy didn’t raise his hand to the officer at all,” a witness told Local 10 News. “The officer just knocked him down with his hands. The guy was defenseless.” The man in the video has been identified by Local 10 News as Bruce Laclair. He ...

Vista, CA– Antonio Martinez is 22 years old, but doctors say he has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old. Sheriff’s Deputy Jeffrey Guy was unfazed by the fact that Martinez has down syndrome, and it didn’t stop this cop from beating the 4′ 11", 158 pound man during an unlawful detainment. Guy stopped Martinez for the “crime” of pulling up the hood on his black hooded sweatshirt. Now, in newly released video recording’s of Officer Guy and Captain Joe Rodi’s video depositions, the department is admitting their fault, but still refuse to make a public apology.

Fresno, California – 78-year-old grandmother Mary Poole was brutally assaulted and pepper-sprayed by a police officer when she attempted to deliver cupcakes to her grandchildren at school. The children’s parents are in the midst of a divorce and custody battle, so Mary wanted to do something nice for the children. She decided to deliver a gift in a neutral setting. “I hadn’t seen my granddaughters for some time and I wanted to see them, and so I baked some cupcakes and bought some cookies for my granddaughters’ classroom,” Mary said. When she arrived at the school she was met by a rude Clovis Unified police officer who told her that she was not allowed to visit ...

Ex-NBC Bureau Chief Backs Up O’Reilly’s Account of Falklands War Riot

Two former CBS reporters have strongly disputed Bill O’Reilly‘s accounts of what happened one night when they covered a riot in Buenos Aires, but on The Factor tonight, O’Reilly brought on a former NBC News bureau chief who backed up his story. Don Browne was the NBC News Miami bureau chief at the time, and he oversaw the network’s Falklands coverage. And Browne told O’Reilly his account was accurate. As opposed to some of the other accounts, which have to some extent downplayed the danger, Browne said the situation “got progressively more intense” and there were demonstrations in Buenos Aires every day.

By Mike Adams, the Health RangerTruth is the greatest enemy of the state, and the purpose of the state-run media is to broadcast a sufficient quantity of lies to suffocate the truth and thereby protect state interests. As Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels once explained: If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the ...
7 shocking quotes by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger
Post Date: 2015-02-24 00:17:09 by redleghunter
23 Comments
As the founder of America’s largest abortion chain, Margaret Sanger’s ideology for Planned Parenthood was cemented in eugenics, the belief and practice that aims to eliminate certain groups of people. As a eugenicist, Sanger encouraged the sterilization of persons with less desirable qualities, and strongly encouraged the reproduction of groups with more desirable qualities. Sanger’s disdain for blacks, minority groups, and the diseased and disabled spawned the birth of an abortion corporation that profits off the killing of the weakest and most vulnerable. From its conception, Planned Parenthood was built upon the roots of exterminating individuals deemed “unfit” ...

The secretary of Homeland Security warned shoppers at Minnesota's iconic Mall of America and similar venues to be vigilant in the wake of new terrorist threats. "I'm not telling people to not go to the mall," Secretary Jeh Johnson said Sunday on NBC's Meet The Press. "I think that there needs to be an awareness." Jim Mone, AP Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., heightened security after a video threatening a terrorist attack was released purportedly by a Somali militant group with ties to al-Qaeda.

If Obama Loves America, Why Did He Transform It?

"We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America," candidate Barack Hussein Obama said on Oct. 30, 2008, just before his election as our 44th president. Was it just rhetoric? Many no doubt thought it was, chalking it up to boilerplate election-eve hot air. But now are we seeing — some would say tragically — what he meant. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is being raked over the coals for saying he doesn't really believe the president loves America, and he probably didn't do himself or the Republican any favors by saying that. Democrats seem to be having a field day with his blunt remark. But can the case be made? If you ...
The FBI ‘Keeps the Fear Alive’ to Justify Their Terror Budget

The fact that the FBI actively organizes, provocateurs alleged suspects from the get go, and then foils almost every terror plot in this country is sadly nothing new. It’s just like any behemoth government bureaucracy — it has to find clever ways to justify its own existence. But in case you just weren’t entirely sure on this point, here’s 24 seconds of YouTube worth watching wherein former FBI assistant director Thomas Fuentes openly admits that the agency needs to “keep fear alive” in order to justify its budget increases.“If you’re submitting budget proposals… you’re not going to submit the proposal that we won the war on terror and ...
Ohio Schools Just Started Passing Out These Disturbing Police State ‘Guides’ For Students

“If you are stopped on the street, answer all questions pertaining to your identity…” that’s what Ohio schools are now telling students. Rather than informing them of their rights, schools are doubling down on police assumptions of power, and telling kids to shut their mouths and comply with more or less whatever police tell them… whether it’s legally required of them or not. Last week, each and every middle and high school student in Akron, Ohio, received glossy, two-sided card that purported to be the result of collaboration between an anti-violence youth group and the city’s police department. But to read the card, it sounds more like it was ...
Phased US-Iran nuclear deal taking shape

The United States and Iran are working on a two-phase deal that clamps down on Tehran's nuclear program for at least a decade before providing it leeway over the remainder of the agreement to slowly ramp up activities that could be used to make weapons. Officials from some of the six-power talks with Iran said details still needed to be agreed on, with U.S. and Iranian negotiators meeting Monday for the third straight day ahead of an end-of-March deadline for a framework agreement. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry joined the negotiations after arriving Sunday. A breakthrough was not expected before Kerry returns to Washington later Monday. Still, Western officials familiar with the ...

A five year Air Force veteran is suing two Orlando police officers and the city after video emerged of one of the officers viciously beating him, while the other turned away to avoid capturing footage on a body cam he was wearing. Refus Holloway was attacked after police were called to the scene where the veteran was attempting to break up a fight between two other men at a relative’s house. Holloway attempted to show the police his military ID, and was not being confrontational according to witnesses. However, he was ordered to get on the ground, where he was cuffed face down. Despite clearly not resisting in any way, Holloway was pepper sprayed and had a loaded gun pointed at him by ...

There were few surprises at the Neil Patrick Harris-hosted 87th Academy Awards. “Birdman” won for Best Picture, beating out main rival “Boyhood.” The film's director and screenwriter Alejandro Iñárritu also won in the directing and screenwriting categories, making "Birdman" the night’s big winner. “Two Mexicans in a row, that’s suspicious I guess,” Iñárritu joked, after the award’s presenter and friend Sean Penn cracked: “Who gave this son of a bi**h his green card?” Fellow Mexican director Alfson Cuaron won for "Gravity" in 20.(More at the web site.)
