The fugitive leaker’s globetrotting escapades are now officially part of Hollywood lore. February 22, 2015 Citizenfour, a film chronicling the living history of Edward Snowden's unprecedented heist of U.S. government secrets, won the Academy Award for best documentary Sunday night—an unusual feat for a movie so critical of a sitting president's policies. Directed by Laura Poitras, the political thriller captures Snowden in a claustrophobic Hong Kong hotel room in the days leading up to and after the release of the first of batch of classified documents that publicly revealed the sweeping scope of the National Security Agency's mass surveillance of phone and Internet ...
Tribe threatens to grow pot if casino isn't allowed near Pensacola

PENSACOLA — A small, Alabama-based Indian tribe that wants to expand its casinos into the Sunshine State might adopt a hardball negotiating stance: Let us offer gambling in a few Florida locations, or we could consider growing and selling marijuana on our property. 0 The prospect of selling pot is just one "what if" scenario that tribal leaders say is possible. But what the Poarch Creek Band of Indians want now is for Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican-controlled Legislature to take them seriously and approve a compact with the tribe that would allow a casino. "We are entitled to negotiate a compact with the state," said Stephanie Bryan, chairwoman of the Poarch ...

Pasco, WA– Police in Pasco, Washington, on Wednesday, made a ridiculous claim. They stated that a citizen’s video that showed them killing unarmed Antonio Zambrano-Montes, 35, as he ran away, could not be used as evidence. The video, which was published to YouTube on February 11, captured the shooting very clearly and had been viewed over 1,600,000 times as of Thursday February 19. Zambrano-Montes’ shooting marks the fourth killing by Pasco police in less than a year. The department alleged that they did not know who filmed the video, nor did they have the original file, so it could not be used. A bizarre claim, since his name has been online the entire week. ...

(ANTIMEDIA) Goodnight Bill, your long and tyrannical reign at the head of the corporate propaganda machine is coming to an ugly end. Your career is over.For years you tortured us with your opinions, bigotry, anger, rudeness, downright idiocy and overall assholedom — but it seems like your big mouth has landed you in hot water this time — and I’m really enjoying watching you burn.

Man Left Sitting in Prison for Months for "Possession" of Vitamins

Activist Post Unfortunately, the police state has reached the point of consummation. While a person should be able to go out unmolested and carry vitamins, supplements, food, protein drinks to go or even ride in a car with a dirty spoon on the floor - each individual runs the risk of the dreaded "drug-dealer" accusation. That accusation is only the beginning of a cascading nightmare. While it should be a no-brainer and an easy situation to clear up, it simply isn't with such a mucked up system that treats citizens like heinous murderers. This was the case for 31-year-old Joseph Burrell of Mankato, Minnesota. Last November, Burrell was arrested in a parking lot for possessing ...

Prosecutors have dropped the charges against a Sunset Park fruit vendor who was arrested for assault and resisting arrest last fall after a cellphone video contradicted the police account, and proved that the officer who accused him couldn’t have witnessed the crimes he supposedly committed. Police arrested Jonathan Daza on Sept. 14 following a dustup over his failure to move his fruit-stand once a street fair permit expired. But a bystander’s cellphone video shows officer Vincent Ciardiello kicking Daza in the back while Daza was on the ground and restrained by other officers. The video got the officer into hot water with the department and helped exonerate Daza and two family ...

The King County Prosecutor’s Office has determined there is no new information to support criminal charges against a sheriff’s deputy and a state community corrections officer whose account of an incident in which they shot an unarmed man 16 times was called into question in a civil lawsuit. Reacting to a judge’s recent ruling that raised questions about the deputy’s and officer’s version of events, prosecutors said in statement that insufficient evidence remains that the two acted with malice or bad faith in violation of state law.

The complaint says the 29-year-old Jawad told FBI agents he was connected with violent extremists in Iraq but later admitted he made it up. Jawad is scheduled to appear Thursday afternoon in Detroit’s federal court. A U.S. Attorney’s ...

AUSTIN -- Hours after the Travis County clerk issued the state's first same- sex marriage license, Texas' attorney general said the marriage is void. Attorney General Ken Paxton said Thursday the Texas Supreme Court granted his request to stay two court rulings declaring Texas' ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. "The Court's action upholds our state constitution and stays these rulings by activist judges in Travis County," Paxton said in a statement. "The same- sex marriage license issued by the Travis County Clerk is void, just as any license issued in violation of state law would be. I will continue to defend the will of the people of Texas, who ...

A deputy at the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office tells about planting evidence, lying in reports and testimony under Sheriff Ric BradshawSheriff Ric Bradshaw gives the nod to deputies and other law enforcement agents of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office to falsify reports and planting evidence on suspects. One of the biggest defenses in contraband cases are that law enforcement officers planted evidence and lie to make their arrests. These cries from defendants are largely ignored by all parties involved, including the juries because of psychology. When it is the word of a defendant against the law enforcement officer, people have been conditioned to rely on the word ...

Gastonia, NC — A tragic story of police negligence emerges out of Gastonia, North Carolina this week. A mother of two was killed by cops after she called 9-1-1 for help. Police say Betty Sexton called them for help so police could remove two intruders from her home that she shared with her boyfriend. The audio from the 9-1-1 call indicates that Sexton knew the two intruders and simply wanted police to help get these unwanted guests out of her house. Waiting for police to arrive, Sexton grabbed an old musket gun to protect herself from the intruders. When they arrived, police saw Sexton holding the antique gun. “My sister would not hurt anyone,” said Debra Kennedy. According ...

Could Afroman’s knock-out punch stall the legalization movement? The random, crazy-ass violence has stunned many in the marijuana world and, frankly, may prove to many — with one wild swing by the “Because I Got High” celebrity — that potheads are out of control and prone to violence. The Guardian has a solid wrap-up of the event and aftermath: The 40-year-old rapper, whose real name is Joseph Foreman, apologized on his Facebook page and later told TMZ that two women had been dancing on stage and a man had been heckling him throughout the show. He said he thought they had left the stage, and when someone bumped him, he thought it was the man. “I thought it ...

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration refuses to back Egypt’s attacks against the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL), which were launched after the jihadist group savagely beheaded 21 Egyptian Christians. On Wednesday, a reporter asked Rear Adm. John Kirby, the outgoing Pentagon press secretary, “Do you support Egypt’s right to bomb ISIS targets in the wake of the Christian Coptics being killed?” “We aren’t taking a position here in the Pentagon on these recent strikes by Egypt…we weren’t notified ahead of time. We didn’t participate or support them in any way, and we’re not taking a position on it,” ...
The Real Defence Budget, ONE TRILLION

On Feb. 2, the White House rolled out its military and intelligence budget proposal for 2016—and it’s a doozy. The administration wants $534 billion for the Pentagon’s normal “base” budget plus another $51 billion for combat operations in Afghanistan and the Middle East. That’s $585 billion combined, $25 billion more than Congress approved last year. Washington conceals spending on the country’s 16 spy agencies—as much as $80 billion—largely inside the main Pentagon budget. But the official numbers don’t reflect the true cost of America’s wars and national defense. In reality, the United States spends closer to trillion dollars a year ...

It is pointless to answer the insincere, bully arguments of militant homosexual activists, because they will not accept the truth, no matter how plainly, simply and in small words it is presented to them. These people have a propagandist mission of flooding conservative website comment sections with their deceptive talking points (which is why we have very little patience for allowing them to freely spread those lies on our comment forums). But, it is important to refute their lies for the many others out there who are not involved in watching this movement, who do not see its progress nor understand the very real danger to some of our fundamental freedoms that this movement poses.
