There’s a lot going on and not all of it’s bad. Here’s a look…
In The News:
When a crowd gathered at an Atlanta shoe store, awaiting the release of the new LeBron James sneaker (got yours??), a thug decided to rob the good shoe-fanciers. He got more than he bargained for when a man stepped out of line and gunned him down. The local hero shot the punk and then hopped back in line! Taylor White, a sneaker-loving witness said in appreciation, “I salute the homie that did that.” America salutes too – our kind of homie. It is mathematically certain the criminal in question (in the pine box, rather) will never rob anyone again – ever.

Did you know the IRS sends income tax refunds to illegal aliens? They do. In 2011 they sent over $46 Million dollars in refunds to just under 24,000 aliens (undocumented guest worker migrant whatever…). The catch is that those 24,000 folks all “reside” at the same address in Atlanta. Smell a rat? http://cnsnews.com/news/article/irs-sent-46378040-refunds-23994-unauthorized-aliens-1-atlanta-address. It appears this happens frequently. I see two possible explanations: 1) someone offers their address for filing usage for a fee or; 2) someone made up a bunch of fraudulent returns and is now a multi-millionaire. Either way, this wouldn’t be a problem if the IRS didn’t exist.
Former Speaker of the Politburo, Nancy Pelosi, was booed the other day for saying Edward Snowden broke the law by defending the freedoms of all Americans. See: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/307217-pelosi-booed-for-saying-nsa-leaker-snowden-violated-the-law. This from the shrill had who laughed that everything the government does these days is illegal. Too bad the boos didn’t come with rotten tomatoes.
Speaking of Mr. Snowden: He’s on the move – likely headed for asylum in a free country! See: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/23/us-usa-security-flight-idUSBRE95M02H20130623; http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/24/world/asia/nsa-leaker-leaves-hong-kong-local-officials-say.html?_r=1&. Please pray for Snowden’s safety; he has literally put his life on the line for you.
The Empire has filed a sealed indictment against Snowden. Many indictments are sealed preliminarily, no cause for alarm in and of itself. What is alarming is that an indictment means a grand jury voted for the government and against their own liberties. Who are these twelve toads??? Given the sad state of U.S. “justice” the grand jury might not really exist. Or, it could consist entirely of FBI agents. Or, John McInsane clones…
At least they still have the rule of law in Hong Kong. There, U.S. thugs attempted to get a local arrest warrant issued for Snowden. The Hong Kong government said the U.S. request did not comply with the law. Imagine that. As the U.S. government can’t comply with American law, how are they supposed to follow laws in another country? This is truly enlightening. To get the warrant the U.S. only had to show that Snowden was dangerous and posed a flight risk. Easy to prove with a traitor like Snowden, right, Rep. King? I would assume they set forth what they had in the way of allegations or evidence. It all evidently amounted to a big pile of nothing. Or, perhaps they thought the Hong Kong court would be a stupid and gullible as the American grand jury.
As is, Snowden has escaped the Stazi for now. If he gets asylum he would do well to remain deeply hidden until the U.S. Empire collapses or we suddenly return to the rule of law here.
Hang in there. More to come…
