Americans died so Iraqis can marry nine-year-old girls

They died for nothing!

Make sure to call George Bush today and thank him for

sending our boys to die in Iraq.  That worked out well.

About two dozen Iraqi women demonstrated on Saturday in Baghdad against a draft law approved by the Iraqi cabinet that would permit the marriage of nine-year-old girls and automatically give child custody to fathers.

The group's protest was on International Women's Day and a week after the cabinet voted for the legislation, based on Shi'ite Islamic jurisprudence, allowing clergy to preside over marriages, divorces and inheritances. The draft now goes to parliament.

"On this day of women, women of Iraq are in mourning," the protesters shouted says Reuters News.

"We believe that this is a crime against humanity," said Hanaa Eduar, a prominent Iraqi human rights activist. "It would deprive a girl of her right to live a normal childhood."

The UN's representative to Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov, also condemned the legislation. Mladenov wrote on Twitter the bill "risks constitutionally protected rights for women and international commitment".

All that American blood and treasure in Iraq to impose Islamic law. 
Iraqi Protesters hold a banner during a demonstration against the draft of
the "Al-Jafaari" to allow adult men to marry 9 year old girls.

The legislation goes to the heart of the divisions in Iraq since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003, as Shi'ite Islamists have come to lead the government and look to impose their religious values on society at large.

It describes girls as reaching puberty at nine, making them fit for marriage, makes the father sole guardian of his children at two and condones a husband's right to insist on sexual intercourse with his wife whenever he wishes.
 

The legislation is referred to as the Ja'afari Law, named after the sixth Shi'ite imam Ja'afar al-Sadiq, who founded his own school of jurisprudence.
 

The draft was put forward by Justice Minister Hassan al-Shimari, a member of the Shi'ite Islamist Fadila party, and approved by the cabinet on February 25.

It must now be reviewed by parliament, but the draft could very well languish, with national elections scheduled for April 30, and vocal opposition among secularists.

Shi'ite religious parties first attempted to pass a version of the law in 2003 under U.S. occupation, angering secular Iraqis and prompting protests. Since then, amid Iraq's turmoil, the tug-of-war has continued between Iraq's secularists and Islamists.

Iraq's current personal status law enshrines women's rights regarding marriage, inheritance, and child custody, and has often been held up as the most progressive in the Middle East.

The proposed new law's defenders argue that the current personal status law violates sharia religious law.

"This is the core of the freedom. Based on the Iraqi constitution, each component of the Iraqi people has the right to regulate its personal status in line with the instructions of its religion and doctrine," said Hussein al-Mura'abi, a Shi'ite lawmaker and Fadila party leader.

Asshole Alert
Tell me with a straight face that this was not a Karl Rove organized photo op.  Bush, Cheney and Rove used the corpses of American soldiers and dead Iraqis as a campaign event to gain a few percentage points in the polls.
.
The bottom line is the ruling D.C. Elites from both parties are only interest in holding power and raiding the Treasury in order to line the pockets of their corporate backers.  The patriotic men and women in the military are used as pawns by our Masters. 

Bi-Partisan Insanity
Nothing changes.  Comrade Obama is arming the Islamist rebels is Syria, and he pushed hard to get us directly involved in their war.  A war takes the minds of the public off their poverty, unemployment and the corruption of their government at home.

Tennessee legislature nullifies Federal roadside checkpoints

A Victory for the People

• Tennessee Democrats and Republicans unanimously stand up for the Bill of Rights and against unconstitutional searches.
• When will the clowns in Washington get the message?

(Tenth Amendment Center)  -  A bill which would nullify federal “voluntary” checkpoints in the Volunteer State State moved another step towards law today. Sen. Mike Bell filed Senate Bill 1485 in January (SB1485).

It passed on Jan 27 unanimously by a 37-0 vote. And Monday, the House concurred by a vote of 91-0.

It reads, in part:

No state, county, municipal or metropolitan form of government law enforcement officer shall participate in, lend assistance to, or be present in any official capacity at any voluntary motor vehicle checkpoint or stop conducted by a private company or research group to collect a human sample from consenting motorists stopped at the checkpoint for research or statistical purposes.

The bill stipulates that the law will apply “whether the checkpoint is funded by federal grant or contract with a federal agency and regardless of whether the motorists consenting to a giving a human sample are compensated or not.”

Practically speaking, the bill would block roadblocks set up as part of a multimillion dollar federal study run by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation based in Maryland operates the checkpoints, run by uniformed officers.

Officers offer motorists cash for DNA samples, generally $10 for a cheek-swab and $50 for blood. Officers reportedly up the ante for motorists who refuse, offering $100.

The issue of such checkpoints gained national attention last fall when the Fort Worth, TX police department set up roadblocks for a checkpoint on behalf of the NHTSA. Daily Tech reported:

The Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) installed the roadblock north of the city during daytime traffic.  They flagged down some motorists at random and asked them to give breath, saliva, and blood samples.  The FWPD claims the effort was “100 percent voluntary” and anonymous. 

It acknowledges that most of the drivers had broken no law, but it said the effort was valuable to federal contractors working to complete a 3 year, $7.9M USD survey on behalf of the The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) aimed a collecting medical data for use in combatting drunk driving. 

But some of the motorists who submitted samples are outraged saying that the program infringed on their Constitutional rights and that the FWPD’s “please” did not make it clear that the seizure of medical samples was “voluntary”.

 

Police State Checkpoint

Fighting back against the Police State.

Police State USA reports that the check points intimidate and bribe drivers and don’t really count as “voluntary.”

“They’re essentially lying to you when they say it’s completely voluntary, because they’re testing you at that moment,” Colosi said. 

Missouri State Rep. Rory Ellinger said the checkpoints were intimidating and unnecessary. “To the average person, all the authority and prosecutorial demeanor of an officer directing you to pull over amounts to an order, not a voluntary act,” said Ellinger, an attorney representing the University City, MO, area.

Going beyond the payment, pressure and appearance of an official requirement, Ft Worth police were still carrying out one part of the tests even on those who refused to participate. From TechDirt:

Worse yet is the fact that even if you opted out of everything including the unpaid breathalyzer test, the Ft. Worth police department was still performing one check without securing permission from any drivers. 

Apparently on the consent form that officers gave “voluntary” participants, fine print informed the driver that [the police had taken] “passive alcohol sensor readings before the consent process has been completed.” 

It’s unclear whether drivers could ask for that data to be deleted if they didn’t want it to be collected, but what is clear is that most drivers did not notice the fine print or were unable to read it. As a result what the FWPD claimed was a “voluntary” scientific study became what appears to be an involuntary search of citizens who were breaking no law.The NHTSA defended these non-stops by stating everything was “voluntary” and that law enforcement officers were only on hand for “safety” reasons. But the passive alcohol test wasn’t voluntary. And the officers never bothered to point out stopping was voluntary until after the test subjects had actually stopped.

The federal government lacks constitutional authority to fund or run such a study, and there is no legal or constitutional requirement for state or local law enforcement to help the federal government carry it out. This bill would nullify the effort in Tennessee.

The bill now moves on to the Governor’s desk for a signature.

Marco Rubio - 'We need to grow government in order to shrink government'

You must grow government to shrink it

• Only in Washington would Rubio's proposal make any sense.
• Rubio's plan admits that Congress is totally incapable of taking any meaningful action of their own and must have 3rd party agencies do the work. 

GOP Senator Marco Rubio called Monday for the establishment of a brand new layer of government with lots of staff, offices, government cars and expense accounts.  This new government agency will magically somehow shrink government.

I tried not to laugh while I read his idea.

Rubio wants a “national regulatory budget” to keep in check costs associated with the accumulation of rules on the books at agencies across the federal government.

That regulatory code needs a taste of its own medicine,” Rubio said in the speech, hosted by Google Inc. and the Jack Kemp Foundation. “It needs to be restrained and restricted.”

Under Rubio’s plan, a brand new independent board would be created to set a national regulatory budget, which would aggregate the costs of all existing federal rules and put caps in place for each agency.

If the total exceeded levels set out in the budget, agencies would need to repeal or rework regulations.

“This would force federal agencies to enact only those regulations that truly serve an essential role,” Rubio said.

In essence, the system would require the government to remove old regulations before adding new ones.

The approach is far from novel. For years, critics of the current regulatory system have floated the idea of a one-in, one-out for rule-writing agencies, or an independent agency — akin to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office — to weigh the costs and benefits of regulations.

“Washington has put up a blockade of restrictions and regulations and taxes that prevent innovators from accessing the full range of opportunities offered by the American free enterprise system,” Rubio said.

Famine and food rationing in Socialist Venezuela

Welcome to Socialism

Food rationing by the Socialists.

Already in the state of Zulia in Venezuela, authorities are now looking to expand on the food appropriations cards seen above.  The data is stored on a SIM card on the obverse of the card and readable by authorities.

If a person has bought their allotment of rice, milk or bread for that week then will be told they can’t purchase it and it will go back onto the shelf.  This is assuming the store has any of those things to begin with.

Over the last four months poorer states in Venezuela have been subjected to long lines at stores and empty shelves.  The famine is now hitting larger states in Venezuela and such is why the government is expanding the card system.

Army stops ‘empty pots’ march

Hundreds of National Guardsmen in riot gear and armoured vehicles prevented an “empty pots march” from reaching Venezuela’s food ministry on Saturday to protest against chronic food shortages.

Later on Saturday, several hundred student protesters trying to block streets with barricades skirmished with riot police who fired tear gas in the wealthy Caracas district of Chacao, in what has become a near daily ritual.

There were no immediate reports of injuries as motorcycle-mounted riot police, taunted from apartment buildings, chased protesters through darkening streets reports the UK Guardian.

Earlier, more than 5,000 protesters banged pots, blew horns and whistles and carried banners in the capital to decry crippling inflation and shortages of basics including flour, milk and toilet paper. Similar protests were held in at least five other cities.

All over Venezuela, people spend hours every week queuing at supermarkets, often before dawn, without even knowing what may arrive.

“There’s nothing to buy. You can only buy what the government lets enter the country because everything is imported. There’s no beef. There’s no chicken,” said Zoraida Carrillo, a 50-year-old marcher in Caracas.

The capital’s government-allied mayor had refused the marchers a permit to hold the “empty pots” rally, leading opposition leader Henrique Capriles to accuse authorities of trying to “criminalise” peaceful protests.

“Nicolas [Maduro] is afraid of the empty pots of our people. He mobilises hundreds of soldiers against empty pots,” he said of the man who defeated him by a razor-thin margin in April presidential elections.

Capriles also reiterated opposition complaints that the government is sending “functionaries and groups of paramilitaries which they have armed to put down protests”.

Maduro has faced several weeks of daily student-led protests across the nation, which he claims are an attempt by far-right provocateurs to overthrow him. They have been joined by mostly middle-class Venezuelans fed up with inflation that reached 56% last year and one of the highest murder rates in the world.

Late on Friday in Washington, the OAS approved a declaration that rejected violence and called for justice for the 21 people the government says have died in street protests since 12 February. The declaration offered “full support” for a government peace initiative that the opposition has refused to join until dozens of jailed protesters and an opposition leader are freed.

Twenty-nine countries voted in favor of the declaration after 15 hours of debate spread over two days. After Panama sought discussion of the crisis in the body, Venezuela broke off relations and expelled its ambassador and three other diplomats.

The objections from Washington and Panama attached to the declaration were longer than the declaration itself. They argued that it violated OAS rules by taking sides.

“The OAS cannot sanction a dialogue in which much of the opposition has no voice and no faith,” the US objection said. “Only Venezuelans can find the solutions to Venezuela’s problems, but the situation in Venezuela today makes it imperative that a trusted third party facilitate the conversation as Venezuelans search for those solutions.”

Police use "private" contractors to build license plate data banks

“To die hating them, that was freedom.”  
George Orwell
1984

Bypassing the 4th Amendment

• To avoid having to get a search warrant, thousands of police departments contract with so-called "private" companies to do the spying for them. 

Automated license plate readers used by car repo companies, for example, collect billions of personal records per year, which contribute to vast databases that can be used by law enforcement, insurance companies, banks, and the like, with few limits.

BetaBoston, working with the Boston Globe, detailed one Boston repo company’s data collection abilities, reporting that New England Associates Inc. can collect $200 to $400 for each vehicle found by an automated reader attached to an unmarked car. The company says it can typically add 8,000 license plate scans to its database in Texas each day.

Digital Recognition Network, which works with New England Associates, says it collects plate scans of 40 percent of all US vehicles per year reports RT News.

According to the company’s own disclosures, Digital Recognition Network operates in conjunction with around 400 repossession outfits across the US, has increased tenfold its plate scans since September 2010, and adds 70 million scans a month.

The scanners use high-speed cameras and optical character recognition technology to scoop up 1,800 plates a minute, no matter the speed or driving conditions. The scanner also collects the date, time, and GPS location of each read, punctuating the privacy threats associated with plate scanning.

 Judge Napolitano on license plate scanning

The legal scanners, which usually cost anywhere from $10,000 to $17,000, have few legal limits. For example, law enforcement – which have used the scanners for years – often have prohibitions on how long they can maintain the information gleaned, but private use is open season for those willing to subscribe for the information.

The top commercial use of the devices falls into the auto finance and auto repossession industries, which both work closely with major banks to track down those who default on loans. Digital Recognition claims its clients include Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co., HSBC Holdings, and Citibank.

Banks strongly encourage its repo contractors to use plate scanners, based on their efficiency in tracking down loan defaulters.

“The banks want it,” said Liran Cohen, owner of repo company Massachusetts Recovery Bureau. “All of them make a big deal out of it, since it gives them so much value.”

Yet with few limits, there is little, if any, accountability regarding where and how repossession companies use the scanners. Many companies that spoke to the Globe said they send spotter cars to commercial lots based on the amount of vehicles open for scanning.

Digital Recognition’s website lists “target environments” for repo agents, including “malls, movie theaters, sporting events, and numerous other locations.” The company also suggests repo agents trawl workplaces and commercial lots during the day and apartment complexes and residential areas at night.

Some commercial property owners call this practice trespassing.

“We’re unaware that this is happening, and we’re reaching out to our security teams and law enforcement contacts to get a better handle on it,” said Les Morris, spokesman for Simon Property Group, which owns at least one mall in the Boston area.

“If we saw scanning like this being done, we would throw them out,” said Issie Shait of New England Development, which owns the CambridgeSide Galleria and Bunker Hill Mall District.

Two repo companies said they target low-income housing areas, given the amount of yields collected in the past.

“This is just another example of stereotyping,” said Cambridge Housing Authority deputy executive director Michael Johnston. “But our lots are open, and we don’t have any gated communities in our system, so I don’t know how to prevent it.”

For its part, Digital Recognition said it cannot be blamed for how the scanners are used.

“We have nothing to do with the actual data collection process,” said Chris Metaxas, chief executive of Digital Recognition. “We provide technology to ¬repossession professionals.”

Over 60 Massachusetts police departments have adopted scanners since 2008. In December, the Boston police suspended plate scanner use after a Globe investigation found questionable data management – including the inadvertent public release of over 69,000 license plate numbers.

The private databases are of use to law enforcement. Digital Recognition offers its data to over 3,000 law enforcement agencies across the country, including the Massachusetts State Police.

This week, a Massachusetts state legislative committee held a hearing on a bill that seeks to ban license plate readers completely, with exceptions for law enforcement, toll collection, and parking regulation.

“We have technology rapidly moving ahead in terms of its ability to gather information about people,” said state Representative Jonathan Hecht, a co-sponsor of the bill. “We need to have a conversation about how to balance legitimate uses of this technology with protecting people’s legitimate expectation of privacy.”

The bill would require law enforcement agencies to scrub their plate data after 48 hours.

Citing the First Amendment, data brokers argue that the scanning pertains to license plates in public, which are available for anyone to record. In their opposition to the bill, they also say they do not disclose the plate’s owner, though their banking, insurance, and other clients can access the information.

The private companies also claim that inhibiting scanners would damage police efforts.

“I fear that the proposed legislation would essentially create a safe haven in the Commonwealth for certain types of criminals, it would reduce the safety of our officers, and it could ultimately result in lives lost,” said Brian Shockley, vice president of marketing at Vigilant, the corporate parent of Digital Recognition.

Privacy advocates say the data points gleaned by the scanners pose a highly intrusive risk to the public. For example, data brokers can translate plate numbers simply by accessing information from a state’s motor vehicle registry.

“Right now, it’s the wild West in terms of how companies can collect, process, and sell this kind of data,” said Kade Crockford of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts. “The best legal minds, best public policy thinkers, and ordinary people whose lives are affected need to sit down and think of meaningful ways we can regulate it.”

It was reported that the Feds spent $2.7 million on

Mitch McConnell - 'We will crush the Tea Party'

Asshole Alert

• Remember that only one single GOP Senator endorsed Rand Paul in his 2010 GOP primary.  Senator Jim DeMint.  One fucking Senator.  Meanwhile McConnell had organized about 25 GOP Senators to endorse and fund an Establishment candidate against Paul.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) believes that incumbent Republicans won’t have a problem holding their seats in the 2014 elections.

“I think we are going to crush them everywhere,” McConnell said about Tea Party challengers in a New York Times interview published Saturday. “I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.”

McConnell faces a primary challenge from the right. The Senate Conservatives Fund, which backs Tea Party challenger Matt Bevin, believes the candidate has a chance of defeating McConnell the primary.

“Mitch McConnell is clearly in trouble in this primary or he wouldn’t be attacking Matt Bevin and declaring war on conservatives,” Matt Hoskins, the head of the SCF, told the New York Times.

as a nation.

A New Cold War
Obey the Government-Media Complex and hate and fear the designated Enemies of the State.


By Gary;

The liar political hacks and mindless pundits were all over the TV this last weekend ripping into Russia and pushing for a new cold or hot war.

The Government-Media Complex works as one unit to keep us all afraid and keep our minds off poverty, unemployment and a corrupt American government.

Yellow journalism always pushes for conflict.

Nothing has changed since the media driven and created Spanish-American War.  Big media needs to make money.  Lots and lots of money.  Stories are run in an endless 24 hour loop to make you scared to death of hot dogs, terrorism, beer, cell phones or evil foreigners.
.
Foreigners are a favorite with their "strange ways" and funny looks.  They are always painted by the media and politicians as evil and bloodthirsty beasts.  Just let the government go to war with them and then you will be safe.

Russia has been chosen as the official "Evil Foreigner" of the year.  Before the Olympics even started there was a steady drum beat of anti-Russian news stories on Gays, Olympic hotels, etc. 

Ukraine

What the Government-Media Complex tries to ignore is a huge part the Crimea and Ukraine are Russian speaking and have been part of Russia since before the U.S. declared independence in 1776.  Those who speak Ukrainian might want independence, but the Russian speaking population has other ideas.

Russian land and sea forces under Catherine the Great defeated the Muslim Turks to win the area.

The Russo-Turkish War (1768–74) was the decisive conflict that brought Southern Ukraine, Northern Caucasus, and Crimea into the Russian Empire.

So pardon me if I can't get worked up about the Russians returning to what was part of the nation for centuries.  Some things are just not the business of the U.S.  We should encourage peace, but the locals need solve their own problems.

Florida

The Crimea and Florida are very much alike.

Under Catherine the Great, Ukraine was made Russian.  And under James Madison and James Monroe, Florida was taken from Spain and made American.

Spanish Florida formed part of the Captaincy General of Cuba, the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and the Spanish Empire.

In 1810, American residents of Baton Rouge overthrew the local Spanish government, seized the corresponding fort and requested protection by the United States.

President James Madison authorized William C.C. Claiborne, governor of the Territory of Orleans, to seize West Florida from the Mississippi River to as far east as the Perdido River. Claiborne only occupied the area west of the Pearl River (the current eastern boundary of Louisiana). Madison sent George Mathews to deal with the disputes over West Florida. When an offer to turn the remainder of West Florida over to the U.S. was rescinded by the governor of West Florida, Mathews traveled to East Florida to incite a rebellion similar to that in Baton Rouge.

The residents of East Florida were happy with the status quo, so the US raised a force of volunteers in Georgia with a promise of free land. On 13 March 1812, this force of "Patriots", with the aid of some United States Navy gunboats, seized Fernandina. The seizure of Fernandina was authorized by President James Madison, but he later disavowed it. The Patriots were, however, unable to take the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine.

The increasing tensions and approach of war with Great Britain led to an end of the US incursion into East Florida. In 1813 an American force succeeded in seizing Mobile, Alabama from the Spanish.

General Andrew Jackson gathered his forces at Fort Scott in March 1818, including 800 U.S. Army regulars, 1,000 Tennessee volunteers, 1,000 Georgia militia, and about 1,400 friendly Lower Creek warriors. On March 15, Jackson's army entered Florida, marching down the Apalachicola River.

Spain was effectively forced by invasion to "give" Florida to the United States.

(Spanish Florida)      (Patriot War of East Florida)

Spanish Empire in 1800
Shades of the Crimea!!!  Without a declaration of war General Andrew Jackson invaded Spanish Florida and created an international incident.  The U.S. had no problem using our military to take land from Spain and other nations against "international law" (whatever that means).  But heaven forbid if Russia tries to re-claim Russian speaking Crimea.  



Castillo de San Marcos, Florida
The Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. Located on the shore of Matanzas Bay in the city of St. Augustine, Florida, construction began in 1672, 107 years after the city's founding by Spanish Admiral and conquistador Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, when Florida was part of the Spanish Empire.
.
The U.S condemns Russia about the Crimea, but the original residents of Florida, Hawaii, Ohio, Kansas and Montana were never asked if they wanted to become Americans.  If locals dared to fight back against joining the union the U.S. military killed them.

Six States file suit against California dictating to them how to raise chickens

People's Republic of California

Touchy feely Libs mandate to other states "Thou shalt

only sell us 'cage-free' chickens."

Five states have joined Missouri in a lawsuit against the People's Republic of California, contesting a provision in its state law that requires hens laying eggs to be “cage-free,” or at least have larger spaces.

California voters passed approved a proposition in 2008 that’s set to go into effect next year, banning “extreme confinement” cages of animals within the state. So why are other states getting involved, in addition to other animal farming industries?

California Chickens

As it turns out, the law extends to eggs sold within California, not just to the chickens raised there. All eggs would have to come from hens who also have enough room to spread their wings — even if the chicken is in a different state.

Missouri launched a lawsuit against the state last month, with Iowa, Nebraska, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Alabama joining it Wednesday, alleging that it violates interstate commerce, according to the Wall Street Journal. For Missouri’s egg farmers to bring their systems into compliance with California law, it is estimated to cost them a total of $120 million.

“We can’t have our farmers and ranchers at the whim of California’s voters, and that’s why we filed the lawsuit,” Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning told NPR.

California Attorney General Kamala Harris countered that if this lawsuit were successful — achieving what previous legislative amendments failed to do — “it will limit the ability of voters in any state to enact laws they deem in their best interest.”

Putin alleges Tea Partiers in Ukraine, wins over US media

Vladimir Putin, tired of being labeled as a "bully" by media left and right, held a press conference in the Kremlin earlier today, offering a completely new angle to his case for the seizure of the Crimean Peninsula and the possible invasion of Ukraine: the presence of a Tea Party element at the Maidan in Kiev.

However," Putin proceeded gravely, "according to new information from reliable sources, this so called 'independence' movement in Ukraine has been taken over not only by Jews and Neo-Nazis, but TEA Party members as well."
