III%er needs help bad!!!
Beanburner, of Burnt Beans and BS, is needing our help and prayers. His son was the victim of a vicious hit-and-run (intentional, NOT accidental) in Clayton NM early Saturday morning. The perp was chased to the NM-TX border where he evaded the cops and could be hiding in my neck of the woods. Possibly Dumas, Dalhart or Amarillo.
Late 90s to mid 2000s white or light colored Chevy pickup with heavy front-end damage and a broken grill. And a sorry son-of-a-bitch driving it. I know most of y'all aren't around here, but prayers work from anywhere.
If you live in the area keep an eye out for this douchebag and if you do see him, call the cops and tell them he is a wild eyed sumbitch yelling that they won't take him alive no matter what.
CLAYTON, N.M. -- The Clayon Police Department has nearly concluded its investigation into the hit and run incident that occurred early Saturday morning, but are searching for the man they believe was driving the white pickup involved.

GoodGopher will also selectively spider selected international news
sites that have a reputation for fearless reporting on world events,
such as RT (Russia Today), Der Spiegel and Al Jazeera.
Fake
news sources like MSNBC are banned from the engine, as are all other
websites pushing corporate propaganda or government disinfo. Sorry,
National Geographic. Peddle your Monsanto mockingbird propaganda
somewhere else...
In essence, all the websites which have been
blackballed by Google News for reporting the truth are favored and
highlighted on GoodGopher.com.
New Media webmasters are invited to submit their sites now to GoodGopher.com. Site crawling and indexing begins immediately.
GoodGopher
will be available as a public search engine after a few weeks of
crawling. Watch GoodGopher.com or NaturalNews.com for an announcement of

If you have a Blog or evn if you don't and just have a favorite site, you can enter the URL at
and
they will start their Web Crawlers looking at it for computing it's
ranking in their Search Results for when it opens to the public.
This is a very welcome development in that this is what Google could have done if they had the moral integrity they say they do.
You all are going to LOVE this next part!
In an era where 70% of the advertising revenue for mainstream media
comes from drug companies -- yes, Big Pharma "owns" mainstream media -- GoodGopherbans all pharmaceutical ads.
We refuse to take money from corporations that are poisoning our
children with psychiatric drugs while using children as human guinea
pigs in unethical medical experiments.
We also ban ads from the
Clinton Foundation and other criminal enterprises attempting to occupy
the highest levels of American government.(Obviously, GoodGopher also
bans all advertising from Monsanto, DuPont, ExxonMobil, Goldman Sachs
and basically any organization that has funneled substantial funds to
the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.)
My emphasis.
Now we're talking.
I already submitted this place and Vulgar Curmudgeon and I'm thinking they need to get swamped with III% sites, eh?
Let us not forget the men and women today who gave everything they had in defense of what this country used to be, the land of the free and the home of the brave.
We still have half of that equation anyways.
Let us pick up our burdens and carry on their fight, God willing, to finish what they started.
Every single day now I read about yet another incremental incursion on our liberties by the United States Government and it's legions of lackeys.
I'm sure you remember the Constitution Free Zone that was arbitrarily imposed around our borders several years ago now?
The excuse that was given for this law breaking bit of tyranny was that the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches do not necessarily apply at our borders or Ports of Entry.
According to the government, however, these basic constitutional principles do not apply fully at our borders. For example, at border crossings (also called "ports of entry"), federal authorities do not need a warrant or even suspicion of wrongdoing to justify conducting what courts have called a "routine search," such as searching luggage or a vehicle.
Even in places far removed from the border, deep into the interior of the country, immigration officials enjoy broad—though not limitless—powers. Specifically, federal regulations give U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) authority to operate within 100 miles of any U.S. "external boundary."
In this 100-mile zone, Border Patrol agents have certain extra-Constitutional powers. For instance, Border Patrol can operate immigration checkpoints.
Border Patrol, nevertheless, cannot pull anyone over without "reasonable suspicion" of an immigration violation or crime (reasonable suspicion is more than just a "hunch"). Similarly, Border Patrol cannot search vehicles in the 100-mile zone without a warrant or "probable cause" (a reasonable belief, based on the circumstances, that an immigration violation or crime has likely occurred).
I emphasized that last paragraph because it is this part of the game they are playing that I am going to be talking about here.
In the same article I have quoted above, the very next paragraph points out that this is increasingly not the case.
In practice, Border Patrol agents routinely ignore or misunderstand the limits of their legal authority in the course of individual stops, resulting in violations of the constitutional rights of innocent people. These problems are compounded by inadequate training for Border Patrol agents, a lack of oversight by CBP and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the consistent failure of CBP to hold agents accountable for abuse. Thus, although the 100-mile border zone is not literally "Constitution free," the U.S. government frequently acts like it is.
Now I am going to inform you of a recent incident near our Northern border that should highlight the fact that these abuses routinely occur even though the government official is knowingly breaking the law and has been warned by someone who not only knows the law but has just gotten a Degree in Law Enforcement and has applied to the very agency that is abusing them. Instead of stopping when the individual expressly informs them of their wrongdoing, the Customs and Border Patrol agent goes all in and compounds the illegal search with violence, consequences be damned.
This young lady was not crossing the border for one thing, was illegally detained, assaulted and her car searched, all without probable cause or any warrants.
This is what our government wants us to think is the new normal,
Jessica Cooke, a 21-year-old from Ogdensburg, New York, recently graduated from SUNY Canton with a degree in law enforcement leadership and had already applied for a job as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent when she was surprised by an impromptu final lesson at a CBP checkpoint on Route 37 in Waddington last week. What she learned—that people who insist on their constitutional rights in this setting run the risk of being roughed up and shot with a stun gun—should help make her a better CBP agent, although CBP may not see it that way.
Cooke was driving from Norfolk to her boyfriend's house in Ogdensburg, the northern border of which is the St. Lawrence River. If you cross the river, you are in Canada, but Cooke was not crossing the river. She nevertheless became subject to the arbitrary orders of CBP agents by driving through one of the country's many internal immigration checkpoints,
Snipped for brevity, the article explains the 100 mile inclusion zone.
For some mysterious reason, she was instructed to pull into a secondary inspection area, where she used her cellphone to record a five-minute video of the stop (below).
After asserting her rights, proving to the CBP officers that she was informed and aware of what is and is not legal, they still ignored her and wound up not only assaulting her by hitting her with a Tazer, they searched her trunk anyway, without a warrant, even after the K-9 unit went around the car without incident!
This is only one example of systemic and government approved abuse of what should have been an average citizen on an average day by these people and I would be very interested in hearing what comes of this in the end when all is said and done.
They are never wrong and if you do not do as they say instantly then any head bashing you receive is your own damn fault for not groveling at the feet of your all powerful and all knowing tax money collecting government employee, whether they be city, county, state or federal matters not.
The reality of our situation is that we currently do and have been for many years now, live in a Police State where even the Supreme Laws of the Land do not apply anymore and you have no defense against any abuses imaginable, up to and including your murder, at the hands of some ignorant power tripping traffic cop, because hey, you looked nervous.
I'm thinking the ones they should be concerned with are the ones who DON"T look nervous, there must be something seriously wrong with the person if they have such little regard for their own personal safety.
Pennsylvania Lawmaker Wants To Make It Illegal To Taunt A Police Officer
In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, earlier this week, lawmakers, police officers and other supporters gathered at the state capitol to celebrate Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Amid praise for those who wear the badge, state Rep. Dom Costa (D), former chief of the Pittsburgh Police, suggested he would introduce legislation to protect police officers -- not from physical harm, but from getting their feelings hurt by citizens.
Following comments by state Sen. John Rafferty (R), who spoke about criminal targeting of police and encouraged attendees to support his resolution to recognize 2015 as the “Year of the Law Enforcement Officer,” Costa discussed another supposed threat to police.
"This nonsense that is going today on where police officers are being taunted by people and being provoked, let's face it we’re all human beings, and eventually that emotion will break. And that’s what they’re trying to do," he said, according to Raging Chicken Press, seemingly speaking about anyone who would verbally challenge police. "So, what I’ve talked to some of my colleagues and the senator [Senator Rafferty] is that we have a bill about taunting a police dog. It’s illegal. There should be out that you can’t taunt a police officer because you’re going to get those emotions up. [We] are looking at that bill to put it forward in the House, and I am sure the Senate will follow. Or at least support that bill."
At this point in our long slow slide to absolute tyranny I would like to stop for a moment to point to this particular article as the absolute epitome of what is wrong with this country and why we are where we are right now.
We have elected officials who have absolutely no clue of how our government is supposed to work and instead find ever more ridiculous thoughts that they wish to make law.
The real problem here is that they do make them laws, irregardless of their basis in reality or in the context of well thought out long term effects.
Knee jerk feel good legislation that adds yet another layer of regulation or prohibition against what has historically and with legal precedence been perfectly legal for CENTURIES.
Because some podunk cop with no self control might get his or her feelings hurt when you call them a Jack Booted Thug, this clown wants to make that act illegal.
I have one thing to say to Mr.Dom Costa.
You sir, are a menace to a free society.
This is why we have recall petitions available to us to get rid of unqualified jack asses who somehow manage to get into office before they show just how dangerously stupid they are. If recall petitions do not do the trick we do have other means that have worked in the past and may well be coming to a voting district near you very soon.
If you somehow managed to reach adult hood without grasping the concept that Free Speech is absolutely guaranteed and sacrosanct in this country then you should have no reasonable expectation to hold the authority to tell anyone to do anything at any time, ever.
Our country is lost to us until we can educate our citizens again and that has been under attack for fifty years now so I am not holding my breath.
(Reuters) - The United States urged countries on Tuesday to think twice about signing up to a new China-led Asian development bank that Washington sees as a rival to the World Bank, after Germany, France and Italy followed Britain in saying they would join. The concerted move by U.S. allies to participate in Beijing's flagship economic outreach project is a diplomatic blow to the United States and its efforts to counter the fast-growing economic and diplomatic influence of China.
Europe's participation reflects the eagerness to partner with China's economy, the world's second largest, and comes amid prickly trade negotiations between Brussels and Washington.
European Union and Asian governments are frustrated that the U.S. Congress has held up a reform of voting rights in the International Monetary Fund that would give China and other emerging powers more say in global economic governance.
Washington insists it has not actively discouraged countries from joining the new bank, but it has questioned whether the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) will have sufficient standards of governance and environmental and social safeguards.
Apparently no one choked to death laughing at the bald faced irony of that last statement.
Make no mistake, there is a monstrous power shift underway right now in the economic sphere and we are taking it on the chin.
The lines have been drawn and China is actively and rapidly manouvering to get the U.S.Dollar replaced as the worlds reserve currency.
This little drama unfolding here is just the latest move in that drama.
I will leave it to folks who follow these things to explain it better but this has immense ramifications down the line.
The Federal Reserve has been put on notice, this is basically a vote of no confidence in them.
