How Israel is seizing West Bank land



Neither Israel or anyone else really gives a crap about the Ten Commandments. 

In the West Bank village of Sinjil, Israeli forces and settlers are carving up Palestinian land.

The wall split one man's garden in two. This is what occupation looks like.

Only on the internet will you be allowed to see a news report like this.





"The Israelis want this whole area. Their plan is to force as many of us as possible to leave," said Palestinian Christian Daoud Nassar, who is fighting to hold on to his family's farm in Nahalin.

Back in 2011 this blog, The Federalist, published a story of Israel stealing the land of Palestinian Christians. As usual no one gave a shit. Israel is a GOD to Americans. 

Read the original story:



"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence."

Credit Cards Maxed Out Ahead Of The Recession




Welcome To Debt Slavery
  • The corrupt Elites locked down & tried to bankrupt Americans with the phony COVID-1984 Plandemic. 
  • Now they are using government created inflation and shortages to create modern Debt Slaves as people are forced to use credit to pay for gas and food.


(Zerohedge)  While it is traditionally viewed as a B-grade economic indicator, the April consumer credit report from the Federal Reserve was another shocker especially after last month's stunning surge in credit card debt which saw the biggest increase in revolving credit on record which is why we said that today's G.19 print straight from the Fed would be just as important as Friday's CPI print...



... and sure enough it was, while again confirming what we have been saying for month: any excess savings accumulated by the US middle class are long gone, and in their place Americans have unleashed a credit-card fueled spending spree.

Here are the shocking numbers: in April one month after the jarring March print again came in more than double the $25 billion expected to $52.435 billion, in April consumer credit again exploded to a ridiculous $38.1 billion, again blowing away expectations of a $35 billion increase (and not much lower than last month's downward revised $47.3 billion).

Ohio GOP Lawmakers Launch Bid To Impeach GOP Gov Mike DeWine Over Coronavirus Mandates


Three Republicans in the Ohio House of Representatives launched a bid to impeach GOP Gov. Mike DeWine Monday, alleging that the coronavirus restrictions he put in place violated Ohioans’ civil liberties.

The resolution, written by Reps. John Becker, Nino Vitale and Paul Zeltwanger, includes 10 articles of impeachment, Cleveland.com reported.

DeWine “has repeatedly proven his incompetence by providing wildly inaccurate forecasts and repeatedly misleading COVID-19 data,” the resolution said, alleging that his policies were “far worse than the virus itself.”

The resolution also accused DeWine of executive overreach, saying that his directing the Ohio Department of Health to issue restrictions aimed at containing the coronavirus was equivalent to “creating new laws.”

Despite the articles of impeachment introduced, DeWine’s actions, including a stay-at-home order and a statewide mask mandate, have been similar to both Republican and Democratic governors in other states.

Arizona Bill Would Require Conviction Before Asset Forfeiture



A Blow Against The Police State


PHOENIX, Ariz. – A bill prefiled in the Arizona House would reform the state’s asset forfeiture laws to prohibit the state from taking a person’s property without a criminal conviction in most situations. The proposed legislation would build on important reforms signed into law in 2017.
Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) filed House Bill 2149 (HB2149) on Jan. 9. Under the proposed law, Arizona prosecutors would not be able to proceed with the asset forfeiture process without a criminal conviction.
HB2149 is similar to another bill prefiled for the upcoming session (HB2032)
An AZCIR analysis in 2017 found that Arizona agencies seized nearly $200 million in property between 2011 and 2015 from people who may never have been charged or convicted of a crime.
In 2017, Gov. Doug Ducey signed a bill into law that enacted modest reforms to the state’s forfeiture laws and closed a loophole that enabled prosecutors to circumvent state laws by passing cases off to the feds. HB2149 would build on the foundation set in that law and further reform the state’s asset forfeiture process.
In 2017, the legislature increased the evidentiary standard necessary for the state to win a forfeiture case. It also took a big step toward closing a loophole that allows state and local police to get around more strict state asset forfeiture laws in a vast majority of situations. This is particularly important in light of a policy directive issued in July 2017 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Bill to Ban Warrantless Stingray Spying Passes

An Attack on the Police State


TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Tenth Amendment Center) – Last Thursday, a third Florida Senate committee approved a measure that would ban warrantless location tracking and the use of stingray devices to sweep up electronic communications in most situations. The new law will not only protect privacy in Florida, but will also hinder one aspect of the federal surveillance state.
Sen. Jeff Brandes (R-St. Petersburg) introduced Senate Bill 1256 (SB1256) on Dec. 14. The legislation would help block the use of cell site simulators, known as “stingrays.” These devices essentially spoof cell phone towers, tricking any device within range into connecting to the stingray instead of the tower, allowing law enforcement to sweep up communications content, as well as locate and track the person in possession of a specific phone or other electronic device.
SB1256 would require police to get a search warrant based on probable cause before acquiring real-time or historical GPS location data, and before using any type of mobile tracking device in most situations. Police already must get a warrant before intercepting cell phone communication content. Adding location tracking to the warrant requirement would effectively end warrantless stingray use in Florida. 
The legislation would also require police to get a warrant before accessing stored location data from a service provider. Under current law, police can access stored data with a court order.
Last week,, the Senate Rules Committee passed SB1256 by a 13-0 vote with some amendments.


One amendment requires police to get a warrant before accessing information from a service provider that is more than 180 days old. Under current law, police have to have a warrant for data stored less than 180 days old, but do not need a warrant to access older data, A second amendment adds provisions allowing police to access stored electronic data with a judicially issued subpoena for sex crime investigations.
The Criminal Justice Committee previously passed the measure by a 4-1 vote and the Senate Judiciary Committee passed SB1256 by a 10-0 vote.
The bill does include some exceptions to the warrant requirement. Police could use stingray devices an emergency situation that involves the immediate danger of death or serious injury, the danger of escape of a prisoner, or when specifically defined exigent circumstances exist. In these situations, police would still be required to obtain a warrant within 48 hours.
The contents of any intercepted wire, oral, or electronic communication, or evidence obtained in violation of the law could not be received in evidence or otherwise disclosed in any trial, hearing, or other proceedings.
IMPACT ON FEDERAL SURVEILLANCE PROGRAMS
The federal government funds the vast majority of state and local stingray programs, attaching one important condition. The feds require agencies acquiring the technology to sign non-disclosure agreements. This throws a giant shroud over the program, even preventing judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys from getting information about the use of stingrays in court. 
The feds actually instruct prosecutors to withdraw evidence if judges or legislators press for information. As the Baltimore Sun reported in April 2015, a Baltimore detective refused to answer questions on the stand during a trial, citing a federal non-disclosure agreement.
Defense attorney Joshua Insley asked Cabreja about the agreement.
“Does this document instruct you to withhold evidence from the state’s attorney and Circuit Court, even upon court order to produce?” he asked.
“Yes,” Cabreja said.
As privacysos.org put it, “The FBI would rather police officers and prosecutors let ‘criminals’ go than face a possible scenario where a defendant brings a Fourth Amendment challenge to warrantless stingray spying.”
The experience of a Pinellas County, Florida, man further highlights the shroud of secrecy around the use of stingray devices, along with the potential for abuse of power inherent in America’s law enforcement community.
The feds sell the technology in the name of “anti-terrorism” efforts. With non-disclosure agreements in place, most police departments refuse to release any information on the use of stingrays. But information obtained from the Tacoma Police Department revealed that it uses the technology primarily for routine criminal investigations.

FBI lets suspects go to protect 
stingray spying

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The FBI has a secret device to locate criminal suspects, but they would apparently rather let suspects go free than reveal in court the details of the high tech tracker.

The device, called a "Stingray," tricks cell phones into revealing their locations. Closely guarded details about how police Stingrays operate have been threatened this week by a judge's court order.
Judge Patrick H. NeMoyer in Buffalo, New York, described a 2012 deal between the FBI and the Erie County Sheriff's Office in his court order Tuesday. The judge, who reviewed the deal, said the FBI instructed the police to drop criminal charges instead of revealing "any information concerning the cell site simulator or its use."

John Adams invoked in 1984 spying case



Wow, a Supreme Court justice whose first concern is with the Constitution and the protection of citizen's privacy? How refreshing!


(Yahoo News)  -  The Supreme Court’s newest justice, Donald Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch, invoked the framers of the U.S. Constitution on Wednesday while questioning a government lawyer about a high-profile digital privacy dispute.

Gorsuch questioned whether the framers might have been concerned about the government using third parties to access your cellphone location data without a warrant, in a case that turns on a decades-old legal concept known as third-party doctrine.

That doctrine says that if you voluntarily hand over information to third parties — like a cellphone network provider such as AT&T or Yahoo parent Verizon — then you lose the expectation that it will remain private.

In citing the Constitution’s framers, Gorsuch seemed to question the legitimacy of this doctrine, which the government says allows it to search cellphone records that track suspects’ movements without a warrant.

“You know, John Adams said one of the reasons for the war was the use by the government of third parties to obtain information forced them to help as their snitches and snoops. Why — why isn’t this argument exactly what the framers were concerned about?” Gorsuch asked Michael Dreeben, deputy solicitor general at the Department of Justice, according to the court transcript.

Dreeben countered: “Well, I think that those — those were writs that allowed people acting under governmental power to enter any place they wanted to search for anything that they wanted.”

That answer prompted this response from Gorsuch: “Isn’t that exactly your argument here, that so long as a third party’s involved, we can get anything we want?”

Gorsuch was not the only justice to raise privacy concerns during Wednesday’s hearing, with liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor noting that Americans “want to avoid Big Brother.” She added, “They want to avoid the concept that government will be able to see and locate you anywhere you are at any point in time.”

The case argued Wednesday, Carpenter v. U.S., will look at whether the Fourth Amendment — which guarantees your right against unreasonable searches and seizures — protects you against warrantless searches of cellphone records that track your movements.

Israel steals the 53 year home of elderly Arabs



"Thou shalt not steal"

  • It did not work back when Moses brought the 10 commandments down. And it does not work today.


(RT News)  -  An elderly Palestinian couple have told RT that it's "great injustice" if Israel carries out a decision to evict them and their relatives from the home they have owned in East Jerusalem for over 50 years. The EU is already urging Israel to reconsider the step.

The Shamasne family have been living in East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood since 1964, when the area was under Jordanian rule. When Israel took over East Jerusalem in 1967, nobody claimed the rights to the property.

The issue came to light after an Israeli right-leaning settler group, the Israel Land Fund, found the previous owners of the house several years ago.

“We lived for 53 years in this house, it is a great injustice. Israel should give us back our land. They take our homes and claim it is theirs,” 76-year-old Fahmiah Shamasne told RT.

Under Israeli law, property proven to have been owned by Jews before 1948 can be reclaimed. Four years ago the Shamasnes lost their appeal to the Supreme Court, which ruled that the family must hand over their home.


The Palestinians were to leave last week amid police inspections of the building and threats of forceful eviction. The decision has sparked anger among the Arab population of East Jerusalem, who staged prayers outside the house in a show of protest.

“The police are threatening us. We don’t know what to do, we are sitting here like fools. We don’t know whether to stay or leave. We have nowhere to go to,” the elderly woman told AFP news agency. She added that her 84-year-old husband will not leave unless he is forced to.

“Maybe if we were to find at least a room we could leave. But even if you were to drag out my husband and kick him, he would refuse to go.”

Other members of the family also made it clear that they would not give up the place where they spent their whole lives. The couple’s, Mohammed Shamasne, said he would struggle for the family property.

Law is unjust – Israeli ex-attorney general

The Palestinian family’s claims to their property in Sheikh Jarrah were supported by former Attorney General of Israel Michael Ben-Yair, whose relatives also had to flee the eastern part of the city in 1948.
“The current Israeli law that enables double compensation only for Jews for [lost] properties in East Jerusalem from the times before 1948 is unjust,” Ben- Yair said, as cited by the Jerusalem Post.

The Israeli authorities should let the current inhabitants of the disputed house stay and give them all the necessary rights to it, Ben-Yair added.
Meanwhile, the fate of the Shamasne family as well as others facing eviction has caused grave concern from the European Union missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah.
“The EU calls on the Israeli authorities to reconsider these decisions,”the missions said in a statement on Friday, adding that some 180 households in the area are also facing the threat of eviction.

Sessions’ Plan To Expand Slavery & Govt Theft




Must See Video
So-called "Conservatives" and Liberals have locked arms to steal your private property without a trial.




If you have no property rights, YOU are the property.
Property rights are fundamental to a free people and a free society.
A society where there are no property rights, no judicial process before seizing property is a society of slaves where the owners can take whatever they wish, when they wish, under whatever pretense they choose.
“Civil” Asset Forfeiture allows “law enforcement” to steal property without ever charging anyone with a crime, let alone finding them guilty, in order to fund their bureaucracy.
Attorney General Sessions likes Civil Asset Forfeiture and has announced a plan to expand this unconstitutional, unlawful theft.

Arizona Passes Bill to Prohibit Warrantless Stingray Spying

The states act to protect freedom
Meanwhile both parties in Washington 
fully embrace Big Brother


PHOENIX, Ariz. (Tenth Amendment Center) – Today, the Arizona Senate gave final approval to a bill that would ban the use of “stingrays” to track the location of phones and sweep up electronic communications without a warrant in most situations. The proposed law would not only protect privacy in Arizona, but would also hinder one aspect of the federal surveillance state.
Sen. Bob Worsley (R-Mesa) introduced Senate bill 1342 (SB1342) back in January. The legislation would help block the use of cell site simulators, known as “stingrays.” These devices essentially spoof cell phone towers, tricking any device within range into connecting to the stingray instead of the tower, allowing law enforcement to sweep up communications content, as well as locate and track the person in possession of a specific phone or other electronic device.
SB1342 would require police to get a search warrant based on probable cause before deploying a stingray to locate or track an electronic device. It would also require law enforcement agencies to obtain a warrant under existing wiretapping statutes before using a stingray to intercept, obtain or access the content of any stored oral, wire or electronic communication.
On Monday, the House passed an amended version of SB1342 by a 57-1 vote. The amendment decreases the time between the issuance of a warrant and notification of the target from 120 to 90 days. The Senate initially passed the legislation 30-0 in February. It approved the amended House version 28-0 today. The bill bow goes to Gov. Doug Ducey’s desk for his consideration.

July 4th, 1776


The Greatest Man in History.
My, my how petty and small the modern political hacks
look in comparison to George Washington.


"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."

- - - - Declaration of Independence




"The right of a nation to kill a tyrant, in cases of necessity, can no more be doubted, than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.  But killing one tryant only makes way for worse, unless the people have sense, spirit and honesty enough to establish and support a constitution guarded at all points against the tyranny of the one, the few and the many."

- - - - John Adams (1787)


"I am resolved to vest the Congress with no more power than is absolutely necessary, and to use a familiar expression, to keep the staff in our own hands; for I am confident if surrendered into the hands of others a most pernicious use will be made of it."

- - - - Edward Rutedge (1776)


"A fondness for power is implanted, in most men, and it is natural to abuse it, when acquired."

- - - - Alexander Hamilton (1775)


"Gentlemen, you will permit me to put on my spectacles, for, I have grown not only gray, but almost blind in the service of my country."

- - - - George Washington (1783)


"Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of Action; and bidding an Affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long acted, I here offer my commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life."

- - - - George Washington (1783)


"Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?"

- - - - James Madison (1788)


"But where says some is the King of America? I'll tell you Friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc of mankind like the Royal Brute of Britain...let it be brought forth placed on the divine law, the word of God; let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarchy, that in America THE LAW IS KING."

- - - - Thomas Paine (1776)

Ballad of the Green Mountain Boys

We owe no allegiance, we bow to no throne,
Our ruler is law and the law is our own;
Our leaders themselves are our own fellow-men,
Who can handle the sword and the scythe and the pen

Hurrah for Vermont! For the land that we till
Must have sons to defend her from valley and hill
Our vow is recorded--our banner unfurled,
In the name of Vermont we defy all the world!
Then cheer, cheer, the green mountaineer, then cheer, cheer the green mountaineer

Chinese Communists are buying up Australia



Corporatism on Steroids

  • Once upon a time the Chinese Communist Party woke up and said, "You know, Communist enforced poverty really sucks. Let's go make money." 
  • From that point the Communists have fully embraced Benito Mussolini's corporatism. So-called "private" Chinese companies work hand-in-glove with the Communist Party to buy up private property all over the world and expand China's political influence. 
  • In this story the Australians are more than happy to sell off their birthright to a foreign dictatorship.


(Farmland Grab.org)  -  Australia’s largest and oldest dairy farm has been effectively sold for $220 million to Chinese owners. Herman Shao-ming Hu and Kenny Zhang are finalising the purchase of a majority interest in the 190-year-old Van ­Diemen’s Land Company (VDL) in Tasmania. 

The near-completed deal comes in the same week as federal parliament prepares to ­debate the Chinese-Australia free-trade agreement, and will be a test of Treasurer Scott Morrison’s attitude to foreign investment. 

Mr Hu and Mr Zhang through their respective companies, ­Ryoden Development and the Australia-registered Waratah Corporation, will each buy about 35 per cent of VDL from current owner New Zealand’s New Plymouth Council. 

In 2012, the Lempriere group organised the sale of Australia’s largest cotton farm and irrigation water holder, Cubbie Station, to another Chinese company, Shandong Ruyi, for $240m, retaining a 20 per cent stake for itself.

and
Bulgaria becomes a Chinese Food Colony

Hong Kong-based Mr Hu and former Howard government communications minister Richard Alston, chairman of Waratah Corporation, visited Tasmania last week to inspect the 25 dairy farms owned by VDL. 

They met Premier Will Hodgman and State Growth and ­Energy Minister Matthew Groom. Neither Mr Hu, who is a deputy of China’s National ­People’s Congress and chairman of Hong Kong’s City University, or Australian-educated mainland Chinese property developer and coal billionaire Kenny Zhang, have any previous agricultural interests. But both Chinese companies have access to distribution and marketing channels in China and Hong Kong, where any food and farm products they produce in Australia can be sold directly. 

VDL’s new Chinese owners plan to further expand and ­develop its farms and associated infrastructure to focus on China’s growing demand for infant baby formula and milk-based health drinks for its ageing population. There are also suggestions the company may build its own milk powder plant to enable all its milk production, processing and distribution systems to remain within its own networks. 

The Bureau of Meteorology also has an air-testing station at Cape Grim, while VDL’s Woolnorth farm is already home to 62 wind turbines, majority-owned by another Chinese company, the Shenhua Energy Group Mr Zheng, managing director of Waratah Corporation which started life as his first business Waratah Paint, earlier this year flagged his move out of investment in the slowing mining and resources sector into agribusiness in Australia and New Zealand. “With the domestic food safety problem becoming more and more serious, most Chinese are paying more attention to safety and healthy food,” Mr Zheng wrote in a recent message on his company website. 

The Tasmanian government, which did not respond to requests for comment yesterday, is understood to be thrilled by the Chinese interest — and much-needed ­foreign capital — into Australia’s smallest and poorest state and its booming dairy industry. There are also hopes other Chinese investors may now invest in Tasmania’s ageing container port at Launceston or at Burnie — as well as in direct shipping services between Tasmania and China. 

None of the companies ­involved in the sale would comment.
