It started almost immediately after the results of the referendum on Britain leaving the EU were announced. A petition that was actually started months ago by a ‘Vote Leave’ supporter was hijacked by ‘Vote Remain’ supporters, who demanded a ‘second referendum’.
Despite widespread ridicule and revelations that many of the signatures came from foreigners, including 25,000 people in North Korea, as well as 4chan pranksters, the BBC, Sky News and many ‘Remainstream media’ outlets continue to treat the petition seriously.
Angela Merkel has said the EU needs to stop other countries following Britain out of the door amid market fears that the bloc is 'no longer governable' after Brexit.
The German Chancellor told her conservative party board in a conference call that it was necessary to prevent other European Union members going down the same path as Britain.
Nationalism takes center stage again as there is a temporary shift away from the "Union / Globalism" mentality in order to demonize and bury Nationalism once and for all. This can be observed in patriotic displays of loyalty to one's home country as the globalists demand fealty to their flag in an attempt to demonize it.
Now, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol has a device that also allows them to seize money on prepaid cards.
It's called an ERAD, or Electronic Recovery and Access to Data machine, and OHP began using 16 of them last month.
Here's how it works. If a trooper suspects a person may have money tied to some type of crime, the highway patrol can scan and seize money from prepaid cards. OHP stresses troopers do not do this during all traffic stops, only situations where they believe there is probable cause.
"We're gonna look for different factors in the way that you're acting,” Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lt. John Vincent said. “We're gonna look for if there's a difference in your story. If there's someway that we can prove that you're falsifying information to us about your business."
"We're gonna look for different factors in the way that you're acting,”
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.Note how not only there needs to be probable cause, not belief of probable cause. But hey, who cares, it's an old law right?
"I know that a lot of people are just going to focus on the seizing money. That's a very small thing that' s happening now. The largest part that we have found ... the biggest benefit has been the identity theft," Vincent said.
"If you can prove can prove that you have a legitimate reason to have that money it will be given back to you. And we've done that in the past," Vincent said about any money seized.
It shows the state is paying ERAD Group Inc., $5,000 for the software and scanners, then 7.7 percent of all the cash forfeited through the courts to the highway patrol.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan struggled on Tuesday to justify his endorsement of Donald Trump just five days ago, telling reporters that the Republican presidential candidate's recent criticism of a Hispanic judge 'is sort of like a textbook definition of a racist comment.'
The federal judge presiding over the Trump University class action lawsuit is a member of the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, a group that while not a branch of the National Council of La Raza, has ties to the controversial organization, which translates literally “The Race.”
As David Horowitz points out on his website Discover the Networks that La Raza, Spanish for “the race,” also has roots in the early 1960s with a “united front” organization, the National Organization for Mexican American Services, NOMAS. The group initially was funded by the Ford Foundation, and subsequently by George Soros’ Open Society Institute and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
A Buffalo, N.Y. community activist who is well known locally for pushing for a highly restrictive 2013 gun control law has been arrested for — wait for it — carrying a gun illegally at a public elementary school.Now, just to make sure we're clear on this, there's no hypocrisy inherent in legally carrying and insisting on a given law, rather the slap in the face comes primarily in his response to this issue.
The arrested gun-control advocate, Dwayne Ferguson, caused quite a scene at Harvey Austin Elementary School, reports local CBS affiliate WIVB.
The community activist has claimed that he forgot he was carrying his gun in a felony gun-free zone he helped create.
Rev. James E. Giles, Ferguson’s friend and the president of Buffalo’s Back to Basics Outreach Ministries, vouched for this claim.
“I’m sure Dwayne went into the school not thinking he had the gun on him,” Giles told The Buffalo News.
Giles said Ferguson even asked police on the scene what was going on.
“Dwayne’s reaction was to get his kids — he had about 50 of them — and make sure they were safe,” Giles explained.
At about 4:15 p.m. on Thursday, police acted on a pair of anonymous 911 tips. A battalion of cops quickly swarmed the school. The brigade included over a dozen squad cars, the SWAT team and K9 units. The Erie County Sheriff’s Air One helicopter and what appears to be an armored vehicle also turned up.I am certain that responsible administrators should mandate that counseling immediately be offered to these 60 students with a distinct emphasis placed on how they survived through the pain that was 'Buffalo Lockdown 2014'. Why, just think, they too could have been hostages! If only we could sell some purple ribbons to raise awareness for these unfortunate souls.
The school was immediately placed on lockdown. Parts of two streets were closed.
About 60 students who were still on campus participating in after-school activities were funneled to the cafeteria.
Cops searched the school room by room and would not let parents on campus until they were satisfied that no shooting threat existed.
Simply put, the new myRA program put forward by Obama is at best a sucker's deal… or worse, it's a first step toward the nationalization of private retirement savings. (Note: If you haven't yet heard of myRA, I'd strongly suggest you read this excellent overview by my colleague Dan Steinhart.)Why do we understand where this is going? Simple, it's math. 2 + 2 = 4....always. Sure there will always be some fool who will inform you that 'This time it's different!'. However, they are precisely that, fools. You see, if I have 2 dollars and I spend 2 dollars, I will have zero dollars. Period.
Even before the new myRA program was announced, there had been whispers about the need for the US government to assume some risk for US retirement accounts. That's code for forced conversion of private retirement assets into government bonds.
The long and short is they are bleeding the real assets out of the United States and passing them into foreign control. Make no mistake, they will bleed this country dry. Savings, checking, 401K, gold, assets, they want it all and will not stop until they get it.How do we know this? Once again...math. Or more precisely, human behavior. If Joe Tyrant has no money to cover his debts, he will claim that your money is needed to pay his debts.After all, he's a tyrant, that's what tyrants do. It doesn't not matter one iota who Joe Tyrant's real identity is, all that matters is that he's a true believer. So if he's red, blue, purple, left, right, as long as he subscribes to the concept that 'The banksters have a right to their rate of return', we will always have a Joe Tyrant making a grab at your assets to "guarantee" his.
