JERUSALEM, Israel (PNN) - April 13, 2014 - To some, they are heroes ready to trade their personal liberty for the sake of high principle. To others, they are spoiled rich kids, shirking their national duty on the backs of the less fortunate.

Now dozens of Israeli teenagers face possible jail terms and blighted career prospects after declaring that they will not join the army because of its "war crimes" in the occupied Palestinian territories.

BODA, Central African Republic (PNN) - April 12, 2014 - Stifled by the heat inside a barn in the Central African Republic town of Boda, dozens of emaciated and often sick displaced people subsist in fear of the vigilantes who surround them.

The group, members of an extended family, fled to Boda from the village of Danga 15 miles away, seeking shelter from the anti-balaka, or "anti-machete", mainly-Christian militia groups that have been hunting and killing members of the crisis-torn country's Muslim minority.

April 10, 2014 - Despite popular belief, every culture of every nation draws a line in the sand against government tyranny. The problem is, many draw this line so close to total defeat that it rarely matters. For the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto, for instance, it wasn't until the Germans had already herded millions onto railroad cars destined for death camps and cornered the rest into dilapidated central housing that the ZOB resistance was formed, only to be wiped out a month later. Perhaps hindsight is 20/20, but clearly too many freedom movements throughout history waited too long to respond to the trespasses of oligarchs.

LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - April 3, 2014 - Buried under miles of ice, astronomers have detected a liquid water sea on one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus. The sea is about the size of Lake Superior and it touches Enceladus' silicate core, which means it could have minerals dissolved in it that are necessary for life.

LONDON, England (PNN) - March 30, 2014 - A low-cost drone has been built with the help of a 3D printer. Engineers from University of Sheffield in the Fascist United Kingdom (FUK) have created and tested a low-coast unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using a new and cheap technique. The aircraft is 1.5 meters wide.

All laws fit into one of two classifications: laws that prohibit or laws that compel. Prohibitive laws tell you what you cannot do with someone else’s person or property. Compulsory laws tell you what you must do with your own person or property. Understanding these two different types of law is vital to a complete understanding of the general validity (or lack) of a given law.

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (PNN) - March 31, 2014 - A protest over the Albuquerque terrorist pig thug cop department's use of force stretched late into Sunday night.

The protest ended at about midnight after protesters headed to Fourth and Central, but not before several instances of property damage and graffiti occurred along its route.

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (PNN) - March 20, 2014 - A Tea Party candidate became the first ever state senator in Pennsylvania to win as a write-in candidate on Tuesday in a special election that showed how dissatisfied voters are, even at the local level, with both organized political parties.

BRANFORD, Connecticut (PNN) - March 12, 2014 - There have been reports that Navy veteran John Cinque has been receiving threats because of his stance on the issue of Connecticut’s unconstitutional and unlawful gun registration law. Apparently those reports are due to a misreading of a piece by the New Haven Register in which Cinque said, “There have been threats made - that I found out about today.”
