(Reuters) – Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the United States, the FBI warned on Monday.
These extremists, sometimes known as “sovereign citizens,” believe they can live outside any type of government authority, FBI agents said at a news conference.
The extremists may refuse to pay taxes, defy government environmental regulations and believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard.
Routine encounters with police can turn violent “at the drop of a hat,” said Stuart McArthur, deputy assistant director in the FBI’s counterterrorism division.
“We thought it was important to increase the visibility of the threat with state and local law enforcement,” he said.
I said this over at another blog’s comment section and I will say it here; A Government that watches it’s citizens and considers them a threat; fears those people and that is because they are doing wrong. This is nothing more than a police state action; and the American people should vote accordingly in 2012.
Further more, I find it most insulting that the United States Government would rather hunt down its own citizens, rather than hunt down and capture the real terrorists, who truly hate this Country and want to see it destroyed. That would be the radical Islamic Jihad Terrorists; you know like the ones that slammed those planes into the Trade Center, the Pentegon, and the field near Shanksville, Pa? — or people like these here? But no, our Government, see people like me; citizens who disagree with the policies of the socialist President to be a threat.
Having said that, I have an open message to the United States Government, Federal Bureau of Investigation, President Barack Hussein Obama, The United Nations and the rest of the Big Government morass:
On of the main tenets of Eric Bolling‘s show Follow the Money is that a free market economy is fairer and more successful than one administered by the goverment. Tonight, Rep. Charlie Rangel ventured onto the program to make the opposite case: that government jobs were in some ways more attractive, because minorities and women experienced less discrimination.
Bolling opened the floor by asking why the president promotes government jobs. The distrust of the government didn’t surprise the longtime Congressman, but he noted that “a lot of women are involved in these lower income jobs, a lot of minorities,” and later explained, “the government doesn’t have the racism and discrimination that the private sector enjoys.” This, to Rangel, means that “a lot of people could to better with the government job,” both minorities, women, and the elderly, working in places such as the post office. Bolling asked again to confirm whether he really meant the private sector had discrimination.
I title this with a rather short headline, because frankly I cannot think of anything to put in there, besides the woman’s name. It was Indira Gandhi, who served as the third Prime Minister of India, who said the following, “Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.” It takes a great deal of bravery to forgive someone who has wronged you. I could write about that for hours on end. If I had a dollar for everyone who has ever wronged me, I could live a very comfortable life as a very wealthy man. Unfortunately, I have more forgiveness than I have money. Funny how that works, is it not?
The dunder head twins
I noticed a rather odd thing happening on this new blog with the stats earlier today, for some odd reason they kept going up. I check and sure enough, a familiar name was back in the headlines —Jennifer Petkov. I let out a rather audible groan and went to look at the stats for the old blog of mine and sure enough, the hits were climbing quicker than the unemployment rate in Detroit. I noticed Jennifer Petkov’s name in the search results. I sighed and thought, “What has that crazy woman done this time?” I opened a browser tab, did a search, and saw that Mrs. Petkov and her overgrown boyfriend or husband, (not sure which…) was going to be on Dr. Phil’s show. “Oh great, give the little attention whore more than she really deserves,” I muttered to myself in a rather rude sounding tone, which was even bad for me. I give the little bleached blonde bimbo a year, she will be doing porn flicks, or nudie spreads in playboy. Yeah, I said that Jennifer, and I am damned proud of it. I would just love to see her to try suing me for insulting her.
"You blew it Blondie, big time"
Anyhow, I watched the show. I have conflicted feelings about it. I did not like how the show was biased against Jennifer Petkov. I know what she did was horrible, but I believe everyone should be fairly represented in the media, and she was denied that. Further, I think her lawyers might have given her some bad advice in letting her do the show. What struck me as being very odd; is how Jennifer Petkov at first, admitted to doing some stuff, then sort of being sorry for everything. I believe she does not want to implicate herself even more than she already has. Furthermore, I did not like how Dr. Phil just took the accusations of Rebecca Rose at face value — for all we know, Rose herself could have put those postings on Facebook and blamed Jennifer for it. Unless we have some sort verifiable proof from Facebook, such as an IP address that belongs to Jennifer Petkov, then the things, outside of those photo shops could have been done by someone else, including Mrs. Rose herself. I wonder if Petkov’s lawyer bothered to find that out at all.
Rest in Peace Kathleen
Now before I go any further, something needs to be said. This entire damned thing is not about the two broads who were friends and had some sort of dirty tampon fight. What this truly is about; is Kathleen Edward. A little angel is gone, to be with her Mother and her grandfather. The actions of Jennifer Petkov were reprehensible, there is no dispute to that; however, in our reporting of those actions, we must not give this idiotic bimbo of a woman any more attention than she truly deserves.
Up above I wrote a quote that read, “Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.” The person that exemplifies that fact is Kathleen Edward’s father, Robert Edward. On Dr. Phil’s show, Robert Edward expressed a desire to forgive Jennifer Petkov, because Kathleen would have wanted that, and because of that, he was done with the issue. I have to commend the man for that, because it takes a great deal of courage and strength to do something like this.
I hope that this is the last time I will ever have to write about this awful subject. I was not that happy to become involved with it; however, because I am from the area, I feel the need to write about it. The main reason is just that it makes everyone from this area, to those outside of the area — look like crazy people. I believe there are some that honestly believe that Michigan is a crazy State filled with crazy people. Outside of the occasional stray, I can proudly state that we are saner that some might think. However, let me state that sometimes sanity is so overrated.
In closing: I hope that I was able to add a bit of humor to a rather dark, depressing subject. I hope that we can put this idiotic dirty tampon fight between Jennifer Petkov and Rebecca Rose to rest finally and that little Kathleen will finally be able to rest in peace. I hope both families move on and I hope everyone else moves on and this rather sad story is remanded to the dustbin of history. Lastly, I hope that Jennifer Petkov has learned her lesson and never logs on to Facebook again, at least not with hatred in her heart towards anyone. Because as she has found out here in the last few years; that can be quite an unprofitable venture.
(Reuters) – Content-sharing Internet service Megaupload.com has lost the help of one of the best-known U.S. defense lawyers as it begins to fight charges of copyright infringement, a person familiar with the matter said.
Robert Bennett was required to withdraw from the case because of a conflict involving at least one other client of his law firm, Hogan Lovells, this person told Reuters. The other client or clients were not identified.
Bennett initially advised Megaupload.com. The company and seven of its executives were charged in a 5-count, 72-page indictment unsealed on Thursday accusing them of engaging in a wide-ranging and lucrative scheme to offer material online without compensating the copyright holders.
Bennett’s long career includes past representation of President Bill Clinton. He was Clinton’s personal attorney in a sexual-harassment case brought by Paula Jones. He has represented a wide array of other prominent Washington officials and U.S. corporations, including former energy giant Enron Corp.
Under the ethics rules for U.S. lawyers, a firm generally does not represent two clients whose interests are at odds. Conflicts are especially likely to arise at law firms as large as Hogan Lovells, one of the biggest in the world, because of the number and variety of clients they represent.
Word is the porn crowd is still mourning in sackcloth and ashes. I mean, all that porn….gone! 😥 Anyhow, I am sure they will get themselves another lawyer, and if my suspicion is correct, they will end up either getting the charges dismissed or reduced to fines. Either way, it should be interesting to watch! 😀
Barack Obama’s 2008 Iowa New Media Director was arrested Friday for attempting to use the identities of Secretary of State Matt Schultz, and/or his brother Thomas, with the intent to falsely implicate the Secretary Schultz in illegal or unethical behavior. Zach Edwards, 29, of Des Moines, currently works for Link Strategies, a Democrat-affiliated organization with ties to Iowa Senator Tom Harkin. Edwards is the Director of New Media for Link Strategies.
The Secretary of State’s office discovered the alleged crime and reported it to authorities. Edwards turned himself in to the Iowa DCI agents Friday afternoon. He was charged with identity theft, a misdemeanor, and booked into the Polk County jail. Edwards posted $2,000 bail and was released later on Friday. He faces up to two years in prison.
Zach Edwards’ bio on Link Strategies website says he joined the Obama campaign in early 2007 as an intern in Nevada. He eventually joined the New Media department and directed their operations in five other primary states. He was the Iowa Director of New Media for Barack Obama’s general election campaign. After the election, Edwards joined Link Strategies, “where he provides innovative web-based research tools, video analysis and production, and web-based communication tools to assist our clients,” according to the bio.
Those clients include Iowa Senator Tom Harkin. On the Link Strategies testimonial page, Harkin credits the political consultant group for his electoral success. “The folks at Link Strategies have been helping me win campaigns since 1996. Whether it is managing campaigns or handling research, their specialty is doing quality work while finding smart, creative solutions to problems. In a tough fight, there is no question that I want Link Strategies in my corner.”
Jeff Link, the founder of Link Strategies, ran the Gore-Lieberman presidential campaign in Iowa in 2000. He managed Tom Harkin’s 2002 and 2008 reelection campaigns. Link also served as a media consultant for Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign.
I cannot criticize him for this one, he did hit the right note.
Quote:
Shortly after taking the stage tonight for a fundraiser at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, President Obama broke into song.
Obama, standing behind the presidential podium, thanked his hosts and the performers who preceded him, including soul singer Al Green.
“To know that Rev. Al Green was here!” Obama said.
Then, after a pause, he began to sing the opening line of one of Green’s hit songs from 1972: “Let’s Stay Together.”
“I’m…. sooo in love….”
The crowd of 1,400 supporters went wild.
He might be a socialist, he might be a Democrat and I might disagree with a good deal of what he is doing; but I cannot argue that the man can work a crowd. 😀
GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich faced a round of tough questions in a campaign event before an African-American church in South Carolina on Saturday.
Gingrich spoke with members of the Jones Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church in Columbia, S.C. for an hour according to media reports.
Many of the questions focused on a statement from the former House Speaker in December that “really poor children” have bad work habits, a remark which attracted criticism from civil rights groups.
“Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works, so they literally have no habit of showing up on Monday,” Gingrich had said at a campaign event.
Since when does a white man, running as a Republican go down to SC and grovel before a bunch of blacks, who will most likely not vote for him anyhow? This reeks of nothing more than USDA choice desperation. I personally do not believe that Newt owes these idiots a thing at all. Gingrich spoke the truth, and if they do not like it — screw em. 😡
SUMTER, S.C. — Amid shaking hands and signing campaign posters, Mitt Romney did something he has never done before on the ropeline: He took out his wallet and handed a wad of cash to a woman waiting to shake his hand.
The woman, 55-year-old Ruth Williams, says she has been following the Romney campaign since he arrived in the state on Jan. 11, when she said she received a message from God to track him down.
“I was on the highway praying and said, ‘God just show me how to get [my] lights on,’ and I pulled up to a stop sign and his bus was there,” said Williams, who has been unemployed since last October. “And then God said, ‘Follow the bus,’ and I followed the bus to the airport.”
According to Williams, she followed the campaign bus to the Columbia airport on Wednesday, the same day Romney was arriving from New Hampshire. When Romney wasn’t on the bus, aides told her to go to the rally scheduled in Columbia later that day. When she showed up, Romney found her to say hello and pulled over South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to say “hello” too.
“He was kind to me and he made Gov. Haley come see about me,” Williams said. “He stopped doing everything.”
I have a shiny twenty-dollar bill that says that the only thing this woman was thinking is, “I found me a stupid honky that will give me money!” Nice going Mittens. Try to buy the black vote; modern-day slavery, all that is. I figure Mittens does not own a plantation for her to work on and that stuff is illegal now, so he figures he will just buy her vote. 🙄 Smart, real smart Mittens.
In short: We….are….so…..screwed. 🙁
What’s next? Perry allows some black man to wash his car? 🙄
