Authoritarian and Totalitarian Democracies

[Stuart Galbraith]

Yeah, they are going to have fun making that stick in court, assuming it gets that far which it wont.

Not that im defending it, its just the police being politically correct clueless fuckwits again.

Quote

The Supreme Court is set to determine whether Congress , for the purposes of taxation, may classify unrealized capital gains as “income.” Should the justices rule in Moore vs. United States rule against the plaintiffs, the federal government effectively would gain seismic new powers to tax almost any property from which it hopes to extract revenue. This would conflict directly with the Constitution ’s plain text and original meaning.

 

Quote

The Moores in 2006 purchased a 13% share of an Indian company, KisanKraft, that provides farming equipment to impoverished regions. Since then, they never have received any dividend or other form of compensation or profit from this investment. They have seen no “income.” Nonetheless, they found themselves subjected to the MRT.

New EU rules needed

Parliament urges the Commission to address existing legal gaps and introduce new legislation against addictive design. If not addressed, MEPs say, Parliament should use its right of legislative initiative. Their report calls for an assessment and a ban on harmful addictive techniques not covered by the directive on Unfair Commercial Practice, such as infinite scroll, default auto play, constant push and read receipt notifications.

I thought I would do a follow up on this story to see if I could find the context behind it. Would you believe Ive looked through a dozen stories, and not one single one offers the name or the account of the guy whom made the video? And whats more, nobody seems to have mentioned it since?

Im not going to scream 'fake'. But it certainly to me looks highly suspicious.

Why Stuart, Visecrap 24 is now suddenly "highly suspicious" when they started talking about UK instead of Russia?

Because it wasnt just them posting it. If you do a search, ALL the British tabloids posted it it, leading usually with 'An unknown man'.... And nowhere along the line is there a confirmation that its not a setup.

Is there more video that shows him being forced to leave because this ends right as he tells the cops he's outside the buffer zone.  Do the cops walk away because they realize they were in error?  Do they point out the protester is mistaken?  Do they just tell him to shut up and move?

It is a woman, i'll try to get more.

Livia Tossici-Bolt, 63, has brought a complaint against officers who forced her off of a public street, with support from ADF UK 

The retiree held a sign reading “PREGNANT? NEED HELP?”, while remaining outside the “buffer zone” around the local abortion facility in this instance

(...)

The officers accused Tossici-Bolt of standing within the local “buffer zone”; but video evidence confirms that the volunteer was outside of the zone’s boundary, and out of sight of the facility, at a distance of over 150m away.

Well, with high-velocity laser-guided signs, even 150 meters is not a safe distance.

You should hear the whine from the local P.B.S. station

I suspect it is wonderful. Just wonderful. PBS/NPR/CPB (corporation for Public broadcasting) is a waste and should be abolished.

Cancelled for joking about Hamas: why ‘hate speech’ zealots are killing comedy

Holyrood’s legislation against ‘stirring up hatred’ threatens the Edinburgh Fringe and has comics pondering retirement. Could it backfire?

Well, considering the SNPs leader in Parliament models himself on Agent 47, I'm not surprised they don't have much of a sense of humour...
