Civil Asset Forfeiture: Only The Rich Can Afford To Keep Their Homes

Civil Asset Forfeiture - Only The Rich Can Afford To Keep Their Homes

– Only the Rich Can Afford to Keep Their Homes (Armstrong Economics, Dec 22, 2014):

Philadelphia prosecutors agreed last Thursday to halt efforts to seize the homes of two of the lead plaintiffs in a widely publicized federal suit challenging the city’s use of civil forfeiture laws in drug cases.

Philadelphia drops a Civil Asset Forfeiture case to prevent any court from ruling just seizing people’s property is unconstitutional.Phily.COM has reported the case of Christos Sourovelis and Doila Welch,who were both caught up in having their homes seized to pay police pensions when the police arrested a relative they claimed was dealing drugs on their properties. Today, you basically have to shun relatives and never pick up a hick-hiker in trouble for if they have any drugs, even marijuana, there goes your assets.

The prosecutors, only after these people has money for lawyers and the press got involved, moved for dismissal in Common Pleas Court. The prosecutor agreed to drop the cases against properties as long as both owners took “reasonable measures” to ensure no further drug crimes occurred there.

Here is the entire problem. Only the rich can win for it is your burden to fork-over huge legal fees. If you do not have the money for lawyers, there goes your property. This is what is desperately wrong in America. Any law passed becomes your burden to prove it is unconstitutional. They can actually pass the ancient right of kings under the Common Law since there is precedent known as Prima Noctum – first night. The governor, mayor, county freeholder, whoever, could “legally” claim the right to spend the first night in bed with any women getting married in their district. It would then become your burden to say – NO. That is uncivilized.

Thousands of recently highly paid workers have been laid off after the oil price plummeted 50 percent in 2014. At least four American oil-producing states are already facing budget problems due to decreasing oil revenues.

The price plunge has affected petroleum production in all oil-extracting countries, including the US.

UK travel chaos as snow and delayed engineering works wreak havoc

–  UK travel chaos as snow and delayed engineering works wreak havoc (RT, Dec 28, 2014):

British commuters who are wearily used to travel and public transport hold-ups found that snow and delayed engineering works on the East Coast mainline meant that many had to abandon their journeys.

A £200 million (US$311 million) engineering project to install overhead power cables on the East Coast mainline just north of King’s Cross, scheduled for Christmas and Boxing Day, has overrun – meaning that trains are being terminated at Finsbury Park, a few miles north, or Peterborough.

The result has been chaos and overcrowding, as Finsbury Park only has four platforms – compared to a dozen at King’s Cross. Other trains have simply been cancelled, meaning the ones that are running are massively overcrowded.

The Times named Nigel Farage of the UK Independence Party ‘Briton of the Year,’ calling him a game-changing politician who broke into and shaped the country’s politics in 2014. The decision prompted a storm of controversy in the media and on Twitter.

Farage has managed to lure many disillusioned voters away from the political establishment and has exploited every opportunity he can – which may mean his party will hold the balance of power in Westminster in the coming election.

This did not go unnoticed with the influential newspaper The Times, which announced its decision to honor Farage “for good and ill.”

Russia’s economy could collapse in months, says Jewish financial forecaster

“This is more sinister than at first thought.

The Russians under Vlad, are preparing for armageddon, whilst we sit idly by.”

Zionism

– Russia’s economy could collapse in months, says Jewish financial forecaster (The Ugly Truth, Dec 27, 2014):

Jewish social media personality Slava Rabinovich’s apocalyptic visions of a crumbling federation may be quickly realized

ed note–if there were ever a ‘Cuban MIssile Crisis’ event that people needed to be worried about, it is now, with the deliberate acts of war being waged against a nuclear-armed Russia by America and the West out to do Israel’s bidding. Putin’s Russia is the ony substantive, credible (meaning nuclear) challenge to the status quo in the Middle East with its support of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, etc, and all persons on planet earth concerned with life and limb need to understand that these acts of war being waged against Russia’s economy are not going to go ‘unresolved’.

With all of this taking place before the eyes of the world, how anyone with 3 functioning brain cells can still entertain the notion that Putin and Russia are just ‘playing their part’ in helping the powers-that-be achieve their NWO only underscores how mentally-deficient certain ‘neighborhoods’ wthin this ‘movement’ are.

Times of Israel

When Slava Rabinovich left the Soviet Union in 1987, 70 years of “planned economy” financial gridlock had made basic goods scarce and opportunities for an ambitious 21-year-old even scarcer. Although Gorbachev’s perestroika had started in January 1987 and sought to introduce gradual reform, daily life was an obstacle course with hours spent waiting in lines to purchase basic necessities.

As the country lifted restraints on free speech, nationalist forces — including vocally anti-Semitic ones — were unleashed. As Rabinovich packed his bags, he, like many Russian Jews, knew that whatever the future held in the United States, he was going to be more secure there than in Leningrad.

Japan - Massive Natural Indoor Farms

Earthquakes and tsunamis can’t beat Japan

– Japan’s Answer to Radiation: Massive Natural Indoor Farms (Natural Society, Dec 21, 2014):

Can earthquakes and tsunamis put the Japanese food producer down? Apparently not. Sanriku Fukko National Park now hosts the world’s largest indoor farm. It was built inside an old, 25,000-square-foot semiconductor factory and uses 100 times less water than an outdoor farm. What’s more, they claim that their produce contains 8 to 10 times more beta-carotene and twice the vitamin C, calcium and magnesium as its outdoor-grown counterparts.

The produce grown at this weather-resistant, climate controlled plant uses LED lights and can yield over 10,000 heads of lettuce per day! With examples like this it is easy to see why indoor gardening or urban green-housing is expected to grow from a $30 million to a $270 million industry by 2020. With solar power, the cost to produce organic, non-GMO foods could be lowered even more. This trend is also likely part of a new high-tech, non-GMO, organic farming model that is more sustainable, and can ensure food sustainability in even the most climate-challenged locales.

In Time for Massive New Dumping of Daiichi Radiation

Japanese government official has reported, “I was overwhelmed by the amount of contaminated water coming from the reactors, we must dump it in the ocean.” This isn’t such great news for the US since President Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently gave their approval for “dramatically raising permissible radioactive levels in drinking water and soil following “radiological incidents,” such as nuclear power-plant accidents and dirty bombs.”

The Nuclear Industry calls this their “new normal,” according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER).

–  North Korea Trolls Obama: Compares US President To “A Monkey In A Tropical Jungle” (ZeroHedge, Dec 27, 2014):

While North Korea had made it very clear that it had nothing to do with the Sony hack, it did demand a full UN-backed investigation, a proposal quickly shot down by none other than the US which always demands full “transparency” of all actions except when actions are its own, or when the resulting transparency would shine an unwanted light on the hypocrisy behind US national interests. Furthermore, in its first statements regarding The Interview, North Korea was actually quite cordial, and said nothing offensive regarding Obama. All that changed overnight when in its first official statement since its Internet went dark – something which if indeed North Korea did not hack Sony, as it claims, would be seen as a clear act of war if it were to happen to any other “developed” country – North Korea finally lost it and decided that the time to troll the US president has finally arrived, when, as the TV anchor says beginning 1:10 minutes in the clip blow, “Obama always goes reckless in speech and action like a monkey in a tropical jungle.“

F-35 Joint Strike Fighter

– Newest U.S. Stealth Fighter ‘10 Years Behind’ Older Jets (The Daily Beast, Dec 26, 2014):

America’s $400 billion, top-of-the-line aircraft can’t see the battlefield all that well. Which means it’s actually worse than its predecessors at fighting today’s wars.
When the Pentagon’s nearly $400 billion F-35 Joint Strike Fighter finally enters service next year after nearly two decades in development, it won’t be able to support troops on the ground the way older planes can today. Its sensors won’t be able to see the battlefield as well; and what video the F-35 does capture, it won’t be able to transmit to infantrymen in real time.Versions of the new single-engine stealth fighter are set to replace almost every type of fighter in the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps inventory—including aircraft specifically designed to support ground troops like the A-10 Warthog. That will leave troops in a lurch when the F-35 eventually becomes the only game in town.

– The science is conclusive: Mobile phones cause cancer (Natural News, Dec 26, 2014):

They say there’s only two things constant in this life: death and taxes. But a third viable contender might be cancer, which an extensive cohort of scientific research has found is caused by prolonged exposure to radiation from cell phones and their associated communication towers.

Contrary to what you may have heard in the mainstream news, mobile phones and the antennas that allow them to communicate emit powerful, microwave radio frequencies capable of penetrating our bodies and cells. And constant exposure to these frequencies, according to the science, appears to be one of the leading causes of cancer in the modern age.

Wireless phone radiation can lead to brain cancer

Extensive research into the connection between cell phone radiation and cancer has linked this ubiquitous modern technology to two main types of brain tumors: gliomas and acoustic neuromas. Information compiled by the ElectricSense.com has confirmed the following findings with regard to cell phones and brain cancer.

– Vaccine Vortex: Devouring innocent children, naive parents, gullible physicians (Washington’s Blog, Dec 26, 2014):

As many in alternative media document, so-called “health” oligarchs act against public interest in obvious ways when the facts are examined. For example, every economic cost-benefit analysis concludes Americans would save from $100 billion to $300 billion annually if we had universal single-payer health care for all rather than “health” “care” oligarchs consuming ~one-third of all payments.

To continue with this familiar example to anyone who examines bills for medical “care,” stories that point to tragic-comic cost increases and cancellations strengthen the case for criminal investigation of financial gains from government insiders at the expense of the public they’re sworn to serve.

Yomiuri Shimbun, Dec. 24, 2014 (emphasis added): Major earthquake disasters could strike anywhere in the nation — What is the probability of a major earthquake striking each part of the nation? The government’s Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion has unveiled its 2014 version of a geographical forecast for massive quakes… A glance at the map shows us that no region in this nation is free from the risk of seismic disaster… The data in question shows that no further delay may be permitted in taking necessary measures… Despite the urgent need for measures to cope with the situation, some municipal governments have not done enough… In producing the latest version, the headquarters expanded the scope of the areas with estimated epicenters while also extending the scales for predicted quakes. This resulted in great increases in the perceived probability of a major earthquake striking some areas, including Saitama [north of Tokyo]. The figure for the city marked a 21-point increase to 51 percent.

On Friday, December 26th, National Public Radio aired two superbly done pieces of anti-Russia propaganda, which could as well have been written by the U.S. CIA, or by Voice of America, it was so skillfully deceiving.

One of these propaganda-pieces, on “Morning Edition,” presented Eleanor Beardsley alleging that the anti-immigrant political parties in Britain and France are anti-U.S. and pro-Russian because they are supposedly all “far right”; and the other piece, on “All Things Considered,” presented Corey Flintoff alleging that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin “seized Crimea” (as if he hadn’t actually rescued it) and thereby caused U.S. President Barack Obama and the EU to respond with economic sanctions as punishment for the ‘seizure’ (actually, as we’ll show, rescue).

[Editor’s note from Martin Hill: You may remember my friend Greg Johnson from four years ago when he confronted George H.W, Bush in a Houston pizza place, calling him a ‘Zionist murderer piece of shit.’ The confrontation made international news, Bill O’Reilly called for Johnson’s arrest and the U.S. Secret Service came to his house the next day, which he video-recorded for his own safety. [See videos and details here.] Here are Greg’s thoughts on U.S. Senator Rand Paul for my new website RandPaulZionist.com. You may contact Greg Johnson here.]

Where to begin and how will I close out this expression of my thoughts on Rand Paul and his fellow zionist puppet politicians? The evidence exposing him as a fraud and the facts of the dire consequences for the U.S. (and all life on Earth) due to support for Israel and Jewish supremacists are insurmountable. The breadth of information to be found outside of the mainstream, Jewish-owned and -controlled media, Hollywood, the publishing industry and the rest of their criminal sources of unbelievable influence is overwhelming. Countless millions around this once-free nation buy into the endless lies while others who can think for themselves search for the truth. There are also many who fall everywhere in between those two ways of thinking (or not thinking). As the Web stats for this site demonstrate, all types will come across these words, which will no doubt be both condemned and hopefully appreciated.
