ARRESTED & Cuffed for two overdue library books

clipped from creditsuit.org Wisconsin woman, 20, arrested for two overdue library volumes Book Her, Dan-O Dalibor, who made the mistake of ignoring a court citation issued after she failed to respond to letters and phone calls from the Grafton library, was busted August 6 for failing to return copies of Janet Fitch’s best-seller “White Oleander” (a 1999 Oprah Book Club selection) and “Angels & Demons,” author Dan Brown’s precursor to “The Da Vinci Code.” According to a police report, Dalibor was apprehended at her family’s home, cuffed and stuffed in a cruiser, and booked for violating the “overdue library materials” ordinance. She also had to pose for the below mug shot at the Grafton Police Department. But that’s the trend across America.  I hear Alex Jones’ statements about police brutality, setups and more and more laws to control and humiliate us.  And I often find it hard to believe, but then you watch videos and read the official press releases, and it’s true.

America's Priorities, by the Beltway Elite

This is a great article that reminds me of the same problem Jesus found in His day. To the religious elite (the Pharisees) He had to ask...

Mark 3:4 Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?

The Pharisees could do amazing things. They could swallow a camel and strain at gnats. They could kill, but not heal on the Sabbath. It was there nature. Apparently they had children for they are with us this day.

"You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44

clipped from www.salon.com "America's Priorities," by the Beltway elite Endless war in Afghanistan is an absolute necessity. Health care for Americans is a luxury that can wait. By Glenn Greenwald the Post demands that Obama's health care plan not be paid for with borrowed money, yet the very same Post Editors vocally support escalation in Afghanistan without specifying how it should be paid for.  "Why is it okay to finance wars with debt, asks our reader, but not to pay for health care that way?" nearly 45,000 annual deaths are associated with lack of health insurance" in America.  Adam Smith, all the way back in 1776, in An Inquiry into the Nature And Causes of the Wealth of Nations, described this Beltway attitude exactly: In great empires the people who live in the capital, and in the provinces remote from the scene of action, feel, many of them, scarce any inconveniency from the war; but enjoy, at their ease, the amusement of reading in the newspapers the exploits of their own fleets and armies . . .

Federal Courts Issue Rulings on Bush-Era Torture, Racial Profiling Cases

The Bush administration labeled him a member of al-Qaeda and sent him not to Canada, his home and country of citizenship, but against his will to Syrian intelligence authorities renowned for torture. He was tortured, interrogated and detained in a tiny underground cell for nearly a year before the Syrian government released him, stating they had found no connection to any criminal or terrorist organization or activity.

Speed Cameras Add More Woes To Commuters

More people need to get involved in their local government to put the brakes on this sort of thing. The people should decide how much surveillance they want, not big corp. You can get the cameras removed by calling for a vote.

clipped from www.washingtonpost.com Rise of the stealthy traffic camera fuels drivers' disgust There's something that doesn't smell right about these tickets, but you're not quite sure what. People get worked up. Put these cyborgs on a ballot, and the voters beat them to the pavement. Three cities Tuesday -- two in Ohio, one in Texas -- voted to rip the things down. In College Station, Tex., the camera manufacturer and their subcontractors reportedly spent $60,000 campaigning to keep them in place, more than five times the amount raised by the opposition, and lost anyway. Voters in Chillicothe, Ohio, went against the cameras at a rate of 72 percent. In Heath, Ohio, the mayor got caught removing anti-camera campaign signs from an intersection. He, and the cameras, got sent packing. Nationwide, there have been something like 11 elections on automated enforcement. Your vote total: Revolting Peasants 11, Machines 0. Yet the cameras multiply

Attorneys Warn Second Wave of Foreclosures Coming Urges Consumers to Know Their Rights

clipped from trak.in Washington D.C. October 29, 2009 — E. F. Robinson, an attorney who specializes in consumer law, is warning the public that a second wave of foreclosures is on the horizon, and he is urging that people prepare for any eventuality by knowing their rights– before they need them. Regarding conventional wisdom that people facing foreclosure are getting what they deserve, Robinson offers this retort: “Poppycock” “Most did not understand what they were signing,” We have had lots of success, “Less than 2 percent have had to turn their house back in.” But the mortgage crisis is just one part of the equation For example, identify theft has increased, affecting those with good credit who unexpectedly find themselves victims. And other good credit risks who invested in extended warranties are finding that some firms are not honoring service contracts. “Such companies are getting less business, therefore making less money,” Robinson said, adding that many are now reneging on warranties
