In the face of President Obama’s call for the FCC to adopt fresh legislation to protect net neutrality, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has reminded the leader politely that the agency works for Congress, not the White House.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has found itself at the heart of a discussion on what is deemed net neutrality — the principle of treating all Internet traffic the same way.

The US communications regulator is currently thrashing out a new set of net neutrality rules, but the current proposal would allow for telecommunications and broadband providers to charge content providers, such as Netflix, for priority Internet fast-lanes. If content providers refused to pay additional rates, theoretically, this could result in throttled speeds for US subscribers — or ISPs which produce their own content could slow down rivals in a bid to promote their own services.

The proposal drew mass protest and a high volume of comments by the public, which resulted in the US watchdog delaying a change in regulations for now.

FK – If Jesus were walking the streets of amerika today most of the preachers would be screaming the loudest to kill him again. The black-suited Nazis would be breaking his door down at 3 a.m. and shooting his dog because he dared to tell his disciples to buy a sword in case they needed it. The Zionist banksters would kill him again because he ran them out of his temple with a corded whip 2000 years ago and the “Liberal”(commie) trash would kill him as soon as he told them no one should be forced to be a good Samaritan at the point of a government gun.

FK – Interesting series. We used to kill hogs, fattened to 300 lbs, with a .22 short hollow point placed just above and between the eyes. They drop like a stone if the bullet is placed correctly. My grandfather was eating a piece of ham for breakfast one morning and bit the bullet, literally.

As transgender policies spread across America, national organizations have become involved in the fight to stop the proposal from being imposed on Minnesota school children.

The policy draft being considered is aimed at allowing “transgender” students – children who believe they were born in the body of the wrong biological sex – to participate on the sports team corresponding with their “perceived gender.”

So, if a boy believes he is a girl trapped in a male body, he should be allowed to play on the girls’ sports team under the proposed policy, regardless of the “gender assigned at birth.”

The policy draft also lays out a process for determining whether or not a transgender student qualifies to compete and play with the opposite biological sex in addition to an appeals process if permission is initially denied.

“Fundamental fairness, as well as most local, state and federal rules and regulations, requires schools to provide a transgender student with equal opportunities to participate in athletics,” argues a version of the policy draft reviewed by WND.

FK – This is about fundamental communism working in every way it can to destroy western civilization. Not that most 14-year-old males wouldn’t jump at the chance to use the girls shower, when the cheer leading squad is also there. Both sides in this issue are in deep denial.

FK – Sorry, if they’re ‘born that way’ it’s a birth defect. If not it’s a mental illness of some sort, maybe both. We should show them ‘compassion’ as much as I hate to use that much abused word but when they force us to lie about them and their condition at the point of a govt. gun the niceness stops.

An internal investigation, completed Friday, found unauthorized Guard support was limited to five vehicles and one boat used as props for the shoot. The investigation confirmed the Guard did not provide the weapons or ammunition used for it.

The names of the four soldiers were not released.

“This was certainly a mistake, but one action among multiple years of service for these individuals,” Fairbourn said. “We are dealing with Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who have served their country in time of war.”

The Utah Guard, in a statement issued Saturday, said it regretted its involvement in the shoot and would not tolerate the unauthorized use of federal and state funds.

FK – At least they weren’t out murdering people in the name of the empire or the domestic police state. How about someone answering for that?

It’s good to see that our service ‘persons’ are physically fit:

What’s going on with our police? More and more, it seems that our men in blue have been transformed from a friendly neighborhood peace office, whose mission is to protect and serve, to a hostile military force, whose mission is to harass and intimidate.

I am going to broach a subject in this syndicated column this week that people such as me are not supposed to talk about. By people such as me, I mean Christians, “conservatives,” Republican-types, etc. “We” are NEVER supposed to criticize the police–not in any shape, manner, or form. ANY criticism of all things police (and military, for that matter) is immediately deemed to be “left-wing,” “unpatriotic,” etc. To criticize the police in any way brings immediate and vehement accusations that one is against law and order or is a “bleeding heart liberal,” etc. But, in all probability, the vast majority of “our” folks will simply ignore this column. My observation is “WE” are mostly very closed-minded and don’t tolerate ideas that are outside the box of what is heard on FOX NEWS or from today’s milquetoast preachers.

However, it is an absolute fact that today’s law enforcement agencies are more and more being militarized and are becoming more and more hostile to the American citizenry. More and more, police officers view the American people as “enemy combatants” and are developing a deeply imbedded “us versus them” mindset. More and more, police officers are behaving like soldiers, not peace officers. Examples of police abuse are becoming more and more frequent and more and more severe. If this breach of the public trust is not reined in soon, it is going to get very ugly in this country.

Eric Frein is charged with terrorism; he aimed to ‘wake people up’

FK – Now what good did it do to kill some know-nothing jr. nazi? The sheeple are only going to commiserate with them and make no effort to understand what’s happening around them. After 9/11 and all the anti-raghead propaganda did millions of sheeple go out and buy a copy of the Koran? Is this whole thing a psyop or are they just ‘not letting an opportunity go to waste?’

Are there ‘good cops?’ There will be when they stop refusing to enforce the police state, drug war, victimless crimes, gun laws, income taxes and on and on. When they arrest the trash that writes these evil laws and try them for treason and execute them they’ll be ‘good cops.’ I’m not holding my breath. Most of them are as cowardly as the common sheeple. Sheepdogs my ass. What courage does it take to break someone’s door down at 3 a.m. when they’re asleep and murder them or their family or their pets?

Here’s how much good the cops and servicemen are doing:

As many as 100 cases with the same circumstances as Allen’s are currently pending and may find their fates improved because of the media and public pressure that surrounded the very sympathetic Allen’s case. “In Jersey,” explains Nappen, lawyer for both Aitken and Allen, “gun owners are guilty until they prove themselves innocent” very literally—they need to prove their gun ownership and movement fit into a small series of exemptions. Nappen says that he and Allen were being pressured on all sides to plea out and not fight the case. He tells me about Superior Court Judge Michael Donio who mocked lawyers like Nappen who actually tried to defend their clients when he sentenced another Graves Act defendant who pled out to just two years’ probation.

Despite the obvious injustice of Aitken’s and Allen’s stories, enforcement of similar laws when it comes to gun possession still happens. In New York airports make a practice of arresting citizens doing their best to scrupulously obey regulations on how to transport weapons back and forth from where they are legally owned and, where necessary, permitted. But despite FOPA, New York airports use the loophole of airports not being explicitly mentioned in the law to arrest and fine people for violating local gun law. While rarely sending them to prison past their initial arrest, New York steals from them time, money, and their weapons, which are confiscated and never returned. In 2013, 25 citizens trying to abide by the law got thusly nabbed in New York City airports; in 2006 it had been 51.

Laws that turn perfectly peaceful acts related to weapon ownership into crimes are growing, as seen in Washington’s newly passed Initiative 594. That law makes Washingtonians who innocently transfer property they legitimately own—but without jumping through government hoops the way the government requires—into criminals.

Meanwhile, the federal U.S.C. 922, whose various provisions are almost entirely about creating a technical crime out of the mere nonviolent, nonharmful owning, selling, or transferring of weapons, saw 5,764 convictions in fiscal year 2014, 660 in September alone.

The injustice Aitken suffered—someone who harmed no one and was doing his best to obey the law sentenced to seven years in prison—was, Aitken has come to believe, “a direct result of the liberal war on inanimate objects.” Such injustices “are the intended consequences. They are not unintended. They are exactly what [proponents of tougher, more complicated gun possession and use regulations] want.”

FK – It’s incredible to me that we’re not hunting and eradicating the trash responsible for this evil.
