DEA Planned to Monitor Gun Show Attendees With License Plate Readers, New Emails Reveal

Leave a reply

The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives collaborated on plans to monitor gun show attendees using automatic license plate readers, according to a newly disclosed DEA email obtained by the ACLU through the Freedom of Information Act.

The April 2009 email states that “DEA Phoenix Division Office is working closely with ATF on attacking the guns going to [redacted] and the gun shows, to include programs/operation with LPRs at the gun shows.” The government redacted the rest of the email, but when we received this document we concluded that these agencies used license plate readers to collect information about law-abiding citizens attending gun shows. An automatic license plate reader cannot distinguish between people transporting illegal guns and those transporting legal guns, or no guns at all; it only documents the presence of any car driving to the event. Mere attendance at a gun show, it appeared, would have been enough to have one’s presence noted in a DEA database.

FK – Another reason to shut them down, as if we need another one.

Help Overturn 18 USC 922(o) & NFA

Leave a reply

My name is Stephen Stamboulieh.  I am an attorney in Mississippi that has tirelessly worked to further our 2nd Amendment rights.  

Now, my sights are set on 18 USC sec 922(o).  This is known as the machinegun ban.  I don’t believe this is constitutional in light of the Second Amendment to the Constitution.    Likewise, the National Firearms Act (“NFA”), which taxes the making and transferring of Title II weapons (machineguns, suppressors, short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns, etc) is ripe to be attacked on Second Amendment grounds.

We have the avenue to attack both the machinegun ban and the NFA with the BATFE’s recent approval of a number of Form 1s.  I have a number of clients that I will be filing a lawsuit on behalf of to seek to overturn the ban and the NFA in different states.

This will be expensive.  I am in the process of collecting donations to offset the legal fees in this case.  If you are interested in assisting, please donate.  No donation is too small.  These lawsuits will be funded strictly off donations.  Unlike the government, we do not have an unlimited war chest to fund this.  That is where the grass roots come into play.  We can do this, but we need your help!

FK – Where’s the ‘No Rights that aren’t Allowed’ group with their millions of 20 buck membership fees from the ‘little guy?’

In fact where was the NRA in 1938? Did they help stop this?

1/30/2015 — Yellowstone Geologist says Eruption in 2 weeks or less? Strange cryptic interview

FK – The guy is hedging his bet and admitting that a two week window encapsulates their eruption prediction capability.

I’m no geologist but it seems to me that all these ancient forces interact with one another on a chaotic and massive scale meaning one little rock sliding out of or into place on the other side of the planet could set the whole thing off and there’s no way to ‘predict’ that.

Best to not worry about what we can’t control and to prepare for what will be required concerning what’s our right, duty and responsibility to control.

Endless fun: The question is not whether we can upload our brains onto a computer, but what will become of us when we do

Could we ever map a complete human connectome? Well, scientists have done it for a roundworm. They’ve done it for small parts of a mouse brain. A very rough, large-scale map of connectivity in the human brain is already available, though nothing like a true map of every idiosyncratic neurone and synapse in a particular person’s head. The National Institutes of Health in the US is currently funding the Human Connectome Project, an effort to map a human brain in as much detail as possible. I admit to a certain optimism toward the project. The technology for brain scanning improves all the time. Right now, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is at the forefront. High-resolution scans of volunteers are revealing the connectivity of the human brain in more detail than anyone ever thought possible. Other, even better technologies will be invented. It seems a no-brainer (excuse the pun) that we will be able to scan, map, and store the data on every neuronal connection within a person’s head. It is only a matter of time, and a timescale of five to 10 decades seems about right.

Of course, nobody knows if the connectome really does contain all the essential information about the mind. Some of it might be encoded in other ways. Hormones can diffuse through the brain. Signals can combine and interact through other means besides synaptic connections. Maybe certain other aspects of the brain need to be scanned and copied to make a high-quality simulation. Just as the music recording industry took a century of tinkering to achieve the impressive standards of the present day, the mind-recording industry will presumably require a long process of refinement.

FK – Will ‘people’ who’ve been downloaded into their own ‘realities’ be allowed to create sentient beings to co-exist with them, expecting them to be their slaves and torturing those who don’t go along with the game plan?

Has this already happened?

Police want app ‘Waze’ to be disabled

Leave a reply

A smartphone app called Waze, which allows drivers to mark where they spot police cars along roadsides, is under fire by police officers who want the app disabled.

Waze, which was bought by Google in 2013 for $966 million, is a free, social media type app which allows drivers to interact in real-time with other drivers on the road. The app currently has 50 million users in over 200 countries.

Traffic conditions are constantly updated within the app and any route detours or bad road conditions are also made visible for other drivers to see. The app also allows users to mark where they spot police cars on the road, but whether the police cars are part of a speed trap or a DUI checkpoint is not viewable.

FK – They’re our employees, our hired public servants, hired by our elected public servants, we’re supposed to know where they are and what they’re doing. They’re supposed to fear us, not the other way ’round.

If the purpose is ‘safety,’ then drivers will see the warning and slow down. If the purpose is revenue enhancement then those who control the police want speeding to continue so tickets can be written. Which is it? We know the answer. If a driver’s ‘license'(permission) was about safety few to no teenagers would be driving, we’d all be retested from time to time and no one past 65 or 70 would drive without being tested every couple years.

Chuck Norris now credited for cracking communism

Leave a reply

Beginning in the late 1960s, the brutal, communist regime of Nicolae Ceausescu clamped an iron hand over the eyes, mouths and minds of the Romanian people.

For the next 20 years, the repressive state tightly controlled what Romanians read, heard, watched and said. Any trace of independent thought or Western influence was stamped out by Ceausescu’s secret police with terrifying ferocity. The Romanian people were simply cut off from the rest of the world.

But then something amazing happened: Chuck Norris invaded Romania.

In the mid-1980s, according to a new documentary being shown at the Sundance Film Festival called “Chuck Norris vs. Communism,” the invention of the VCR and some courageous smugglers brought thousands of Hollywood films – including Norris classics like “Lone Wolf McQuade,” “Missing in Action” and “The Delta Force” – into the country.

Dubbed by a death-defying female translator whose voice became a symbol of freedom for the isolated Romanians, the movies gave courage and hope to a people long beaten down by an oppressive state.

FK – How ironic that what ‘saved’ them is killing us.

As long as the average sheeple can go to for steak and ice cream and sit on the couch in front of the big screen they think everything’s OK. We send our young men to die overseas fighting communism and ‘terrorism’ when our greatest enemies are right here. We should have kept them home from Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and let them hunt those who will pass the laws that finally kill the Bill of Rights, the document that truly makes us ‘exceptional.’

A commenter on this thread called our ‘leaders’ sick and gutless. That’s a mistake. We the people hired them. They are our elected public servants and we are responsible for their action or inaction.

It’s time to stop waiting for the world to end and stand up for the future of humanity.
