88 yr old Nazi shoots up Holocaust Museum and kills guard

Lou Dobbs hit the nail on the head tonight when he stated that this story joins many other related stories in a compacted amount of time, and that we need to be more alert to domestic terror acts like this.

Today 88 yr old James Von Brunn, a self-proclaimed Neo-Nazi and white supremacist, took a rifle into the Holocaust museum and shot and killed a security guard Stephen Johns, before he was shot himself by responding officers. HOW DID A MAN ALMOST 90 YEARS OLD WALK CASUALLY DOWN THE NATIONAL MALL AND INTO THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM ALL WHILE CARRYING A HIGH-POWERED RILE WITHOUT ANYBODY NOTICING??!! We as Americans have become so self-absorbed and have a tunnel vision SO powerful that we fail to notice important things like an old man carrying a rifle in a public place!

Wake up folks, we have to look out for one another, WE are OUR best defense. Don't wait for homeland-security to put a certain color on it, lookout for danger on a daily basis or at least don't act so surprised when something happens.

Let us all say a prayer for Mr. Stephen Tyrone Johns who was brave enough to attempt to stop this psychotic terrorist. It is because of people like Mr. Johns that no one else was injured today.

Another Police Attack and Out Of Order Officers

So by now everyone with a TV has seen this video of this cop tasering a 72yr old great-grandmother for becoming "violent" with him. There's two things wrong with this. Number one is that this cop chose to disregard his training and used a seriously dangerous weapon on an elderly lady. I have personally, unfortunately, been restrained by police on several occasions, on one of which I was inebriated and uncooperative and had to be restrained by several officers. I was NEVER tasered or even threatened with pepper spray. I am 6' 3" 165lbs and I consider myself strong. On ALL the occasions on which I was restrained, the officers used their body weight and extensive knowledge of pressure points to subdue me with little physical force. The cop in question shoves the elderly woman and then tasers her and the only thing she does to him is swear at him and put him in his place. The second main thing wrong with this situation is that this wussy cop has basically made it known that he is weaker than a 72 YEAR OLD GREAT GRANDMA!!
This cop gets pissed because the old lady does sass the cop and swears at him, insulting his pride. The cop then gets verbally abusive, screaming at the woman and shoving her unprovoked. Then he pulls his taser gun and with the warning barely from his mouth, and the lady standing still, he shoots the old woman with the taser and she falls to the ground screaming in pain. It seems that an overwhelming number of police and law enforcement officers feel above the law and feel they may act however the please. We've all begun to see more and more cops excessively speeding without reason and without emergency lights. I personally watched a cop in Ruckersville, VA turn his lights and siren on at a red light, run the red light making an illegal u-turn, and then cut off his lights and siren and pulled into Sheetz and came in to buy a sandwich. Then there is this re-occurrence of police initiated violence towards suspects, often resulting in lawsuits. These officers have forgotten their job is to protect those people that pay they're checks, the tax-paying public. They instead uphold a mythical "Law" which applies to everyone but them, and to which they clutch so tightly that they refuse to use the discretion afforded to them by their job description. As the tax-paying public we need to speak up and tell our lawmaking representatives that we want someone policing the police, thus enacting the same checks and balances system in place throughout our government, and supporting those law enforcement officers who don't live up to this increasingly growing stereotype, because it is they have been silently screaming inside for someone to correct these out-of-order officers and their behavior. If we continue to be bullied by the same people who swear an oath to serve us, then we will continue to fall victim to their behavior, their consequences, and their cover-ups. Let me clarify my position. I am not disrespecting law enforcement or their job to uphold the laws we make. I applaud good, honest, people who work as law enforcement offiicers, and I know their job is a very dangerous job filled often with the worst people in society. I fully support officers who live by and enforce the law. I have never supported lawlessness or anarchy in any way, my quarrel is only with the fact that no one enforces the law on the enforcers. This is not true for major/violent crimes, though it has happened, but on a day to day a lot of officers seem to act with total disregard to the laws to which they ticket and jail people for everyday. This hypocratic conduct will only worsen as society grows and the number of men and women employed by law enforcement grows as well. Without a better form of regulation of law enforcement, the public will lose more and more freedoms, and the conduct may be called to question in court resulting in an acquital of a guilty person. Support law-abiding law enforcement officers in your area, and report those that conduct themselves otherwise. Long Live America...Long Live Freedom

Little Girl Still Missing After 24 years!

So I was watching CNN Headline News, and they featured a lengthy story about a woman who's daughter was abducted from the bus-stop in front of her home 24 years ago, and has never been found. The woman, Janice McKinney has convinced the makers of the hit show 'Cold Case' to incorporate the story about her daughter's disappearance twenty four years ago into an upcoming episode of the show. The news stations have begun to air the story and the TV show affiliation, and Janice McKinney has done countless interviews with news groups petitioning them to re-air her story.

The story (linked here) basically said: The girl, then 8 year old, third grader Cherrie McKinney disappeared after she got off the school bus with several other neighborhood kids only 100 yards downhill from her home at 4 o'clock in the Winfield Township of western Pennsylvania. The police and detectives worked the case for years and spent thousands of man hours looking for any sign of the young girl. It is reported that her case file totals somewhere above 4,000 pages! Nothing was ever found and no suspects were ever charged, leaving the case titled as a kidnapping and not a homicide, because a body was never found.

I think this woman is selfishly wasting public time and energy. I feel so sorry for her and her family. I will never know the immense pain of having a missing child, but my prayers go out to these poor souls. But after twenty four years she needs to let go and move on, and let the news,the police, and the public spend their time looking for recently abducted children, of which there are too many. The public can only look for what they know, so the headlines of news are priceless for public information. According to the Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 2,185 children are reported missing every day in the United States. There have been several headline cases this year alone of children of the same age being abducted, and some of their bodies have been found months later in remote locations and other hiding places. Just because this girl's body was never found does not mean she is still alive. I know it is painful and sad to think that this poor little girl died a horrific death, but it is the realistic thing to assume. By allowing the public forum to be crowded with far fetched hopes of finding long lost children, or solving old cold cases, we are taking away from the time we should be using to find currently missing children, or solving new fresh cases. It is a sad realism to come to, it really is, but it is realistic to think that. SO...they need to stop giving this woman attention, and thus false hope, and start looking at new cases because we have too many of these.

Another sad reality is the recent update to the Nevaeh story, a recently missing little girl, her body was discovered in a shallow grave with quick-dry concrete covering her. We should have been looking for her instead of chasing hopes and dreams.

The hottest stories that will never make front page in American newspapers

Los Zetas vs. U.S.

Don't get me wrong, they make it in the news, usually as a brief summary on the back of the third page. Follow my logic for a second. If Mexico is responsible for 95% of America's illegal drugs, then the serious crime that occurs in the towns along the border is headline news. I learned how bad the situation was/is and what would/is happening when I watched an episode of the National Geographic show 'Gangland' featuring "Los Zetas" / the Zetas. In the documentary the Zetas military-like organization is outlined, and the back ground is better explained. In a nutshell what happened was:

Pablo Escobar and the Medellin cartel were the number one distributor of cocaine, until he was gunned down by militants and police on a rooftop in 1993. The power was then split between the Cali Cartel and the Gulf Cartel. Then Columbia changed radical governments, so the cartels were forced into hiding in their own country, and forced to do business in other countries, mainly Mexico. The Zetas became the official right hand of the Gulf cartel. With the new business route in place the money poured in and the Zetas hired ex-military and ex-police; then began hiring away the active Mexican Special Forces and the police. The Zetas flaunted their power in Mexico, riding in convoys of armored vehicles with machine guns in hand. The Zetas as a street-gang, migrated into the U.S. just as easily as most illegal immigrants before them. In the United States they play a vital role in distributing the cocaine for the Gulf Cartel.
The Zetas became even more dangerous when they decided to buy straight from the cartels and distribute their own product through their own channels in the United States. Now they have intertwined with Latino street gangs in the U.S. like the 17th Street, Latin Kings, and MS-13. The huge flow of cash into the Zetas' headquarters caused an upset in power in Mexico, as the gangs bank account towered above the account of the Mexican government. This brings us into the present day, as daily accounts of violence between police and Zetas are reported, often with Zetas as the victor. The cartels have a pit bull on a leash with the Zetas, who send huge shipments of American cash back to Colombia to the cartels in exchange for cocaine. The Zetas are so well financed, that they have already purchased helicopters, planes, grenades, rocket launchers RPGs, and whatever else they can imagine. The reason the Mexican President asks the United States to legalize marijuana, is that the Zetas are smuggling marijuana from Mexico to the US (Mexico supplies 95% of pot to US) and using those funds to then purchase cocaine from the cartels. By legalizing marijuana, the Presidente hopes to cut off a vital limb of the Zetas and thus the Cartels. I'm sure he probably expects the US to look to Mexico to continue to supply 95% of the 'now-legal' marijuana, instantly diverting the flow of cash from the Zetas, to the Mexican government. The question now becomes, do we as Americans, want to fund terrorists, the Mexican Government, or do we want to keep that money in the United States? We cannot win the 'war on drugs' magically in one day. People are going to buy and smoke marijuana in the United States, whether it is illegal or legal. They are currently, unknowingly supporting these violent terrorist organizations by purchasing weed from a neighbor. Their American dollars are flowing into these organizations, and furthering the violence on both sides of the border. The desire to legalize marijuana IS a moral question, Deny the prolific use of marijuana in the United States, and continue to turn a blind eye to the constant flow of American dollars into the poorest parts of the world furthering violence and turmoil which has now spilled over the border into our state. OR Forget about pride and accepting marijuana use, and do the responsible thing and legalize marijuana and hemp production in the U.S. and add an enormous cash crop into the economy, adding jobs, contributing TRILLIONS in tax revenue, and releasing non-violent marijuana possession convicted persons from our overcrowded jails and prisons. The most important effect of legalizing marijuana is diverting the flow of American dollars from the cartels, back to America. Whether you agree with marijuana use or not is the same as whether you agree with smoking cigarettes or not, or alcohol. It is a personal opinion and should not be caught up in government.
Lets not allow these cartels and gangs to steal anymore American dollars, lets bring George Washington back to Washington. (Note George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe all had enormous hemp plantations, as well as personal cannabis gardens)

FULL BODY IMAGING

SECURITY OR SECURITY RISK???...TOOL FOR CRIME STOPPERS OR PERVERTED EMPLOYEES??? THE EXPERTS DON'T KNOW WHATS WHAT. TIME FOR YOU TO DECIDE AND TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION!!

Disturbing news about a mass invasion of the public's privacy comes from CNN out of Atlanta, Georgia. Privacy advocates are in Washington as we speak, petitioning the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to suspend the use of "whole-body imaging", citing the technology's ability to produce a picture of the person scanned completely nude. The national campaign will start this week, and hopes to go 'viral' spreading throughout America in a matter of days. The machines detect both metallic and non-metallic items, and are currently being used in only 19 airports worldwide. Of those 19 airports, only 6 use the machine as a primary security check (instead of x-ray machines) followed by a pat-down. The rest of the airports use the machines as a voluntary secondary security check, in lieu of a pat-down.
The campaign has already recieved the attention of several lawmakers, including Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R) of Utah, who introduced legislation last month to ban these machines. The rest of the article can be found at HERE at CNN.One thing is for certain, with all this news about airplane safety, it's hard to believe 9-11 ever happened. The airlines stepped up, and played the part for a few years after, but it's clear the situation has become out of control. Rather then continually chip away at Americans civil liberties and human rights, we should focus on things we CAN control, like 'mechanical malfunctions'. If the same amount of time and technology were spent aimed at making sure a plane's engine wont stall, or that the wheels stay on; well then we just might start saving a few crashes from taking place, maybe save a few lives in the process. Who knows, it just might work!......worth a try regardless.

Now as for having a naked picture taken of you before being allowed to fly home for Thanksgiving, I can only say to the commercial airlines "I've been on some pretty sketchy buses, been in a few uncomfortable car-pools, but even THEY didnt ask to see me naked before I could ride!" Your just increasing the number of Americans who will not fly on your planes, which in turn = lower ticket sales, so think before you act FAA.

We're gonna fly that baby til the wheels fall off!

More sad news for Colgan Air out of CNN in Buffalo, New York. Colgan Air as you should remember was the carrier of Flight 3407 which crashed in nearby Clarence Center, New York just three months ago killing all 49 on board and one man on the ground. The Colgan Air pilot of that flight was found to be inadequately trained on the 'push stick' emergency procedure for an engine stall.

The plane in that crash was a Q400 model Bombardier. Another Q400 of Colgan's fleet experienced difficulty last week as it touched down at nearby

Buffalo Niagara International Airport. As the planes tires touched the runway, one of the wheels rolled off the axle and into the adjacent runway. No one was injured in the accident, that Colgan Air officially called a 'mechanical malfunction', has the FAA experienced layoffs or cuts in funding? What if it had been the wing that 'fell off due to mechanical malfunctioning' at twenty thousand feet?

We are in the 21st century here people, if we are going to compare flying on a commercial jet to riding a bus, we need to make 100% sure that a REAL mechanic works on that bus to make sure something doesn't happen, like the wheels falling off. Somewhere in a greasy, dust filled Colgan Air shop is a mechanic yelling "See I told you we'd fly Ol' Bessie til her wheels felld off! They just showd it on tha news, her wheel done fell offt!"
