CONCORD, New Hampshire (PNN) - July 15, 2014 - Courts around the country are having more trouble prosecuting marijuana cases because of increasing awareness of a constitutional doctrine called jury nullification.

Under the Bill of Rights, jurors have the power to find a defendant not guilty if they find the law in question is flawed - even if the person being accused actually did smoke pot (or commit another victimless crime).

WASHINGTON (PNN) - July 11, 2014 - The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has announced the first successful live-fire tests of the military’s first smart, self-guided bullets.

In a video released by DARPA Thursday, Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordinance (EXACTO) .50-caliber bullets maneuvered independently mid-flight to accurately strike targets purposefully offset from where the firing sniper rifle was aimed.

CHICAGO, Illinois (PNN) - July 10, 2014 - The most beautiful side of promoting liberty is in the medium of innovation. By coming up with effective ways to compete with State functions, the populace can shrink the government without having to rely on the promises of politicians - the trustworthy bunch they are.

HARTFORD, Connecticut (PNN) - July 7, 2014 - The trading of child pornography is an ever-increasing problem and pedophiles have been known to conceal hard drives of images in walls, ceilings and cabinets to avoid being caught.

July 4, 2014 - This week Amerikans will enjoy Independence Day with family cookouts and fireworks. Flags will be displayed in abundance. Sadly, however, what should be a celebration of the courage of those who risked so much to oppose tyranny will instead be turned into a celebration of government, not liberty. The mainstream media and opportunistic politicians have turned Independence Day into the opposite of what was intended. The idea of opposing - by force if necessary - a tyrannical government has been turned into a celebration of tyrannical government itself!

NEW YORK (PNN) - July 4, 2014 - We have long discussed the erosion of civil liberties in the Fascist Police States of Amerika, including the attacks on privacy and other rights by the illegitimate Obama regime. It appears that we are not alone in those concerns. A new Gallup poll shows a record drop in the satisfaction of Amerikans over their freedoms. The massive drop is matched in such countries as Egypt, Pakistan, and Venezuela.

KARLSRUHE, Germany (PNN) - July 1, 2014 - Scientists at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have developed a method of concealing objects from the sensation of touch that would finally meet the exacting standards of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale princess, who felt a single pea prodding her beneath 20 mattresses and 20 feather beds.

The Revolution
By Brent Johnson
(to the tune of “The Gambler”)

Once upon a time
Across the sprawling ocean
An evil king conspired to
Destroy the liberty
Of a faraway people
With a faith in God Almighty
A commitment to a life in which
They could all be free

July 1, 2014 - Imagine living in a country where armed soldiers crash through doors to arrest and imprison citizens merely for criticizing government officials. Imagine that in this very same country, you’re watched all the time, and if you look even a little bit suspicious, the police stop and frisk you or pull you over to search you on the off chance you’re doing something illegal.
