Congress Looks at Laws That Criminalize Non-Criminal Behavior

By Lesley Clark | McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Abner Schoenwetter, a Miami seafood importer, spent six years in prison, paid tens of thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees and is at risk of losing his home.

His crime? Agreeing to purchase lobster tails that federal prosecutors said violated harvest regulations — in Honduras.

Now Schoenwetter, 64, is a convicted felon with an ailing wife, no job or right to vote and three years of supervised release ahead of… Continue

Man Must Die (ELITIST)

Elitist

It's etched upon every single face

You tried to bring us down

But you f-ing failed

How does it feel to have it

Rubbed in your face?

For years we took your shit

I hope you choke on this

Backstabbing motherf-ers

Your scene is a joke

Too all the doubters

Stand up, take a bow

You try to hide the envy in your eyes

I know it's burning you alive inside

I know you're… Continue

October Surprise: Terror Hysteria Recycled In Election Ploy

Cynical stunt to frighten angry Americans into placing their trust back in government

On Deafened Ears- Original Poetry

On deafened ears I sought alone

To hunt for shelter in the cold

Slipping on a frigid precipice

I shivered and relented to the struggle

I inadvertently tumbled

The coldness rendered me numb

I looked to the wind and it didn’t answer

Trembling I felt the weeds strangling

Mute…. I fell slowly

The wind that once held me in laughter

Mocked me when I thought I was master

The trees kept me still

Like the vines that… Continue

Tribal ties—race, ethnicity, and religion—are becoming more important than borders.

The never ending war ..

"... as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people.

Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never… Continue

Recalls Push More Companies into Digital Food Tracking

Reporting from San Jose — Inside a Silicon Valley company's windowless vault, massive servers silently monitor millions of heads of lettuce, from the time they are plucked from the dirt to the moment the bagged salad is scanned at the grocery checkout counter.

That trail can be traced in seconds, thanks to tiny high-tech labels, software programs and hand-held hardware gear. Such tools make it easier for farmers to locate possible problems — a leaky fertilizer bin, an unexpected… Continue

Costco Will Sell You an Apocalyptic Year's Worth of Disgusting Food for $800

Either our nation's obesity problem is just as bad as they say, or Costco knows something we don't, because the aircraft carrier-scaled big box store is now offering enough (horrifying) food to last you a year for a cool $800.

The monstrous, 5,011 serving package, courtesy of food outfitter Shelf Reliance (hey, at least we'll have kept our senses of humor during doomsday!) claims their end days buffet contains "only top-of-the-line products," "developed with everyday menu planning in… Continue

Prophetic Word Given to Steve Quayle

Steve Quayle

TO THE PENTAGON

I am against your plans to make war against my people and my land. Is it a small thing in your eyes for you to make war against me saith the Lord? You trust in the technology of the “Fallen Ones” and the hidden and secret weapons that you believe will keep you safe. Has it not dawned on you, that as you study in your war colleges, that betrayal and destruction have come from traitors within and armies without?

Turkey and Russia Defy America's Imperial Design in the Middle East and Central Asia

By Eric Walberg

The new Ottomans and the new Byzantines are poised for an intercept as the US stumbles in the current Great Game.

The neocon plan to transform the Middle East and Central Asia into a pliant client of the US empire and its only-democracy-in-the-Middle-East is now facing a very different playing field. Not only are the wars against the Palestinians, Afghans and Iraqis floundering, but they have set in motion unforeseen moves by all the regional… Continue

The Army's Afghan Biometric ID Plan

Army Reveals Afghan Biometric ID Plan; Millions Scanned, Carded by May
