Weekend Chillout

Inspired (and disgusted) by the treatment of RT journalist Adam Kokesh by US police earlier this week (see here & here), who prevented him from pursuing happiness plus denying him the right to dance badly. This week's chillout calls on all of us to fight for our rights.......

Bin Laden raid gets little credence in conspiracy-minded Pakistan

From the LA Times:

It was all a ruse, Ejaz Ahmad sniffed. Osama bin Laden never lived in Abbottabad.

To Ahmad, the secret night raid by U.S. commandos, the staccato bursts of gunfire, the crash of the stealth helicopter and the reported killing of the Al Qaeda leader in a whitewashed compound just down the road were pure theater. The Americans made it all up to convince the world that terrorism exists everywhere in Pakistan.

The issue was raised by Von NotHaus’ conviction in March of two counts related to his issuing of silver medallions called Liberty Dollars. There were no complaints from the persons who bought Liberty Dollars or took them in exchange for goods.

This is not lost on anyone looking at the case. One can imagine that this humiliation was keenly felt by the federal government that brought charges against Von NotHaus. It’s hard to see why else the government would have brought charges.......read on
