The family appointed a spokesman to issue a statement this afternoon on the steps of the Marion County Courthouse (below).

RAF Tornado Pilots Abort Targets to Avoid Civilians

To kill or not to kill; for once it was not a question.

(SALEM, Ore.) - An article in The Telegraph by Con Coughlin today details the kind of moral military story we don't hear too often in our Wikileaks-based world.

Royal Air Force Tornado jets returned to their base after a raid on Libyan military forces loyal to Gaddafi, with their weapons still slung underneath the wings of their airplanes.

Police `Involvement` in Conservatorship Issues?

Police arrests in fragile environments, usually involving seniors, violate everything from moral sense to the UN Human Rights Declaration...

(SAN BERNADINO) - I stood at the Probate clerk's window at Redlands court, craning my neck to read the top sheet of a thick stack of papers which faced away from me.

Military Action Against Gadaffi is Not the Solution

Bottom line: military action in Libya is not the solution nor is it the solution in Afghanistan/Pakistan or Iraq.

(SEOUL, Korea) - The no fly zone has allowed America and the coalition forces to attack Gaddafi forces, if Gaddafi retaliates with NATO causalities this can very possibly lead to a full scale war and Libya can very quickly become the next Iraq, but even worse than Iraq and will become a terrorist breeding ground, allowing Terrorist groups to Network from Libya and attack Israel.

Israel will become the biggest causality of this ridiculously stupid move by the UN approving a no fly zone.

Jumping the New York Times Paywall

What Americans don’t seem to understand is that their democracy has been bought—lock, stock and barrel.

(CALGARY, Alberta) - In 2005, The New York Times introduced a paywall for articles. I don’t recall how long it lasted, but it was flawed. Readers could access ordinary articles but they would have to pay to read the columnists and some specialized articles. I suspect that management realized how selective readers became and the columnists ended up almost unread.

They’re doing it again. They’ve started first here in Canada and the rest of the world on the 28th of March.

Recalling the Battle: History Repeats Itself on the 8th Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq

Looking back at the Baghdad airport battle in early April, 2003.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - The U.S. preoccupation with the impending threat of Iraqi nuclear weapons was just another form of misinformation to rattle the American public.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Concealed Handgun Licenses (CHL) from other states would be recognized by Oregon officials under legislation adopted by the Oregon House of Representatives today. House Bill 2792 was adopted by the House on a vote of 40 to 17.

Europe Turns Against Israel

It is embarrassing how lame academia has become.

(LONDON) - A German think-tank affiliated with the Social Democratic Party issued a new report last week that revealed “high levels of anti-Semitism in Germany, Poland and Hungary.”

A researcher from the University of Bielefeld told The Jerusalem Post that the study showed a strong presence of anti-Semitism linked with Israel and is hidden behind criticism of Israel, and is not neutral.

Agent Orange & Dioxins: the Most Toxic Chemicals Ever Produced

Little can be done for human dioxin poisoning.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Agent Orange; continually in the news since Veterans of Viet Nam began showing up with toxicity symptoms and death.

When poisoning of our Vets first started showing up in the 1970’s the Army Medicos told the troops it was just “jungle rot” from living in the tropical rain forests.
