Thousands of angry people took over the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, with a determination reminiscent of the war protests of the 1960s. Chants of “We are watching!” and “We want real change!” could be heard amidst the crowds, along with cries of “Let them go!” - a reference to those innocent Amerikans who have already been arrested by New York’s thug cops, who displayed typical fascist behavior by suppressing media coverage of the protests.
PORTLAND, Oregon - September 29, 2011 - On Wednesday, a federal judge ruled that two provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act are unconstitutional because they allow search warrants to be issued without a showing of probable cause.
U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken ruled that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act, "now permits the executive branch of government to conduct surveillance and searches of Amerikan citizens without satisfying the probable cause requirements of the Fourth Amendment."
PEEKSKILL, N.Y. - September 27, 2011 - Want to get thrown out of a Peekskill City Council meeting? Start clapping.
After a series of boisterous meetings, Mayor Mary Foster is trying to bring decorum back to the chamber by banning clapping.
“We’ve had to end meetings because the disruptions just became too unruly,” Foster said.
However, critics of the measure spoke with 1010 WINS’ Al Jones and said they felt like they were being treated like kindergarteners.
NEW YORK (PNN) - September 26, 2011 - Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul rallied a sold-out crowd of more than 1800 of his most ardent under-thirty-year-old supporters in New York City Monday night, with talk of a new American Revolution.
WASHINGTON - September 23, 2011 - The federal government has doled out more than $600 million in benefit payments to dead people over the past five years, a watchdog report says.
Such payments are meant for retired or disabled federal workers, but sometimes the checks keep going out even after the former employees pass away and the deaths are not reported, according to the report this week from the Office of Personnel Management's inspector general, Patrick McFarland.
Here are highlights featuring The Patriot Congressman speaking at the September 12, 2011 Republican presidential candidate debate aired live on CNN.
This thought-provoking presentation examines the routes taken by the four aircraft directly involved in the events of September 11, 2001. Additionally, what about the transponder codes for the aircraft? They mysteriously changed during that fateful day. This video also looks at the fact that back in 2001, the Pentagon already had existing technology capable of controlling aircraft by remote control, which could automatically and safely commandeer and land hijacked aircraft!
LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia - September 18, 2011 - Texas Rep. Ron Paul won a Kalifornia straw poll, the state Republican Party announced in a statement Saturday night.
A total of 833 ballots were cast during the straw poll, the statement said.

ATHENS, Greece (PNN) - September 1, 2011 - Tax evasion in Greece threatened to take organized form on Thursday when café and restaurant owners refused to pay a 10-point VAT rise, as a deep recession clashes with the government’s increasingly desperate search for revenue.
The steep rise in value added tax on the hospitality sector from 13%- 23% is part of a package of fiscal measures agreed to in return for the country’s second financial rescue by European Union partners.
But for many of Greece’s ubiquitous cafés and souvlaki stands, which have already seen a 20-40% decline in business in the past year as customers rein in spending, the VAT rise is the final straw.
TRIPOLI, Libya - September 1, 2011 - Moammar Qaddafi warned from hiding Thursday that tribes loyal to him were well-armed and preparing for battle, hours after terrorist rebels hoping for a peaceful surrender extended the deadline for loyalist forces to give up in the long time Libyan leader's hometown.
