To Serve, Protect and Terrorize

The war on drugs is not the only time we keep seeing random, but deadly, violence from cops against civilians.

And if you thought a woman who reports a sexual assault and is immediately arrested (with a judge looking on, nonetheless) could only happen in a Middle Eastern, Sharia ruled country, think again.  This one happened in Clark County Family Court – that is, Las Vegas.

And, of course, not to stay behind, the Toronto Police oblige with a shooting of a kid on a bus

If you listen carefully, you can hear what appears to be a Taser deployed long after the kid was shot 9 times.  Because, even without a gun and with 9 bullets in him, the kid still posed deadly threat to the 11 officers on scene.

By the way – have you read A Clockwork Orange lately?  Remember Little Alex’s buddy’s choice of employment?  I never guessed this was a prophecy…

John Stossel: Regulation Strangulation

The Truth About Gun Control

Overcriminilization

Think about it – there are now so many laws and regulations which carry a criminal penalty (in the US, as per the video below, but elsewhere, too) that the federal government bureaucrats say they don’t have enough manpower to list them all in a central database where citizens could easily access them.  The obvious implication of this is that most citizens are not aware of what the laws they live under and thus may infringe them many times a day without being aware of it.  (This is the topic of the video below.)

But, take it a step further:  consider the widespread supervision of the government of each and every citizen….now, it is clear that it is not a tinfoil-hat-conspiracy-talk, but reality we are living every day.

Then, remember how top bureaucrats are implicated in directing other bureaucrats to target the Obama regime’s political opponents.  So far, only the IRS department is implicated, but it would be highly naive to think this form of corruption is limited to only one department.

So, if you want to target a person disliked by the Obama regime, you just have to pull up all the records of their activities, compare them to obscure criminal regulations and voila, your political opponent gets sent to jail for a criminal misconduct….no need for ‘political prisoners’.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the game is played!

Hubble finds a new Neptune moon

Exciting news!

‘NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a new moon orbiting the distant blue-green planet Neptune. This brings the number of known satellites circling the giant planet to 14.

The body is estimated to be no more than 12 miles across, making it the smallest known moon in the Neptunian system. It’s so small that it escaped detection by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft, which flew by Neptune in 1989 and surveyed the planet’s system of moons and rings.’
