Feds go after biker gang members... by claiming the rights to their logos

 (Idiots. They'll have another logo ready to go in case the suit is successful.  Sometimes I wonder if the government's average IQ is even 80.)

Prosecutors are attempting to break up America’s most violent motorcycle gangs by claiming rights to their logos.

If the government is successful, it will become illegal for a member of the 600-strong notorious Mongols Nation gang to wear its trademarked patch – a black-and-white image of 12th century conqueror Genghis Khan riding a motorbike in a pair of sunglasses.

Police sources say that removing gang logos diminishes the gang’s power and identity.

A source told Fox News: ‘It not just stripping them of their identity, or robbing them of a recruiting tool, it's taking the star off their helmet. The logo itself furthers a criminal enterprise.’

China warns U.S. surveillance plane

Via III Percent Patriots

The Chinese navy issued warnings eight times as a U.S. surveillance plane on Wednesday swooped over islands that Beijing is using to extend its zone of influence.

The series of man-made islands and the massive Chinese military build-up on them have alarmed the Pentagon, which is carrying out the surveillance flights in order to make clear the U.S. does not recognize China's territorial claims. The militarized islands have also alarmed America's regional allies.

Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell told CNN's Erin Burnett Wednesday night that the confrontation indicates there is "absolutely" a risk of the U.S. and China going to war sometime in the future.

Via comment by Anonymous on Listen To Police Radio Traffic From Waco II “Twin ...

 

The death toll from the “Twin Peaks” shootout was greater than the total number of homicides Waco police investigated in all of 2014 – And all of the “Twin Peaks” dead were shot by police.

 

Previously Waco Police Spokesman W. Patrick Swanton stated 22 members of law enforcement were present prior to the outbreak of the shooting.  Including 10 members of the Waco SWAT unit, 2 sergeants, 1 rookie, the Asst. Police Chief and 4 state troopers.

Newly released information today includes the Waco Police stating 14 Waco PD officers were involved in firing shots which killed 9 bike club members and wounded 18 more.

The 14 officers involved in the gun battle are all now on administrative leave, which is standard protocol in officer-involved shootings, Swanton said. (link)

In addition Sgt Swanton previously stated that all of the 170 arrested bikers were known “criminal gang members”.  However, a review by the Associated Press of court records finds at least 115 of the 170 had no police records:

Unearthed Info Reveals Possible Reasons Why Rep. Alcee Hastings Wanted a Pay Raise So Badly

Via Cousin John

Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) made headlines this week with his suggestion that members of Congress, who make at least $174,000 a year, need a raise because of D.C.’s high cost of living:

“Members deserve to be paid, staff deserves to be paid and the cost of living here is causing serious problems for people who are not wealthy to serve in this institution.”

With Americans’ per capita income at $28,155, working citizens had a difficult time identifying with Rep. Hastings’ plight.

Well, it turns out that Rep. Hastings has a few outstanding legal bills from when he was investigated on corruption charges, according to a report at the Washington Free Beacon.

The debts include:

• Robert Catz, $500,000 – $1 million debt incurred from 1981 to 1985
• Terrance Anderson, $1 million – $5 million debt incurred from 1981 to 1989
• Patricia Williams, $500,000 – $1 million debt incurred from 1981 to 1989
• Karr and McClain, $100,000 – $250,000 debt incurred from 1983 to 1989
• Mark McDonald, $15,000 – $50,000 debt incurred from 1981 to 1983
• Lewis Meyers, $15,000 – $50,000 debt incurred from 1981 to 1983
• Bright Star (Mortgage), $100,000 – $250,000 debt incurred from 2009

All told, Rep. Hastings is more than $7.5 million in debt.

It looks like housing’s the least of his problems.

This October The World Will Change: “China Is Preparing For Something Big”

Via Cousin John

“China… across the board… is preparing for something big in currency markets.”

This October may see the beginning of the end for the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Twice every decade the International Monetary Fund meets to discuss their Special Drawing Rights (SDR) currency basket. Currently comprised of the dollar, Japanese Yen, British Pound and Euro, if China has their way a few months from now, we may well see the Chinese Yuan take its place among the world’s most trusted currencies.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew says, “China isn’t ready for currency reserve status,” and would certainly like to see the Chinese blocked from entry, preserving the dollar’s status as the world’s go-to currency and primary mechanism of exchange for global international trade.

But while Lew and his predecessors have presided over the largest growth in national debt in world history, the Chinese have been strategically positioning, much like the United States did in the early 1900’s, to not just become the world’s largest economy, but to be the super power of the 21st century.

BLM Destruction of Records

 

Via comment by SunwolfNC on Groups warn Oregon mine militia dispute threatens ... 
"TPTB could just use it as a reason to roll up on the mine with delta force and rangers. You know, to protect the terrorized BLM forces that want to burn the place to the ground and steal the surface rights. You know - because THEY have no record of surface rights since a lot of those records were mysteriously lost in a magic fire-shredding accident. So... since no one owns the land; they'll just take it."
