Santa Clara County Judge Socrates Manoukian Influences Authorities to Harass those who Report Evidence of Abuse.

FACT: Some Judges can and will commit crimes, the problem is exposing them and getting them prosecuted. When someone exposes a judge the first thing they do is attack the person who reports them. Police often side with the judge because they can’t be objective due to working under that judge. This allows unethical judges to commit crimes, abuse victims and stay immune to prosecution.

T-Rex 2 Makes Solvent-less Cannabis Oil with the Push of a Button.

More people every day are discovering the delights of cannabis in many types, shapes, tastes and consistencies. Cannabis products also vary in strength, and it is integral to their success that consumers know what they are buying. The “bud” is the most vaunted of all parts of the cannabis plant. The bud (aka “flower” or “herb”) is where the THC content is found, and therefore the most valuable and most sought after. The second favorite? OIL produced from the buds.

My Lai Survivor Disappointed in Calley's 'Terse Apology' for War Crimes Atrocities.

It is a dubious honor that a photo from an article I wrote about the 40th anniversary of the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam, is one of the top picks on Google Images under this tragic subject. I'm recently humbled by contact from My Lai survivor Duc Tran Van, a 7-year old boy in his village when it was almost completely decimated almost the entire population.

Oregon Group Applauds Failure of Anti-Gay Measure.

Anti-gay activists have fallen short in their attempt to force a referendum on Oregon's recently passed domestic partnership law. The Secretary of State determined that the petition did not meet the 55,179 valid signature threshold required to qualify a referendum to the ballot. "This is a proud day for Oregon," Basic Rights Oregon executive director John Hummel said in response to the news. "It's unfortunate that this small group doesn't get the message: most Oregonians know that discrimination is wrong"

Veterans Kept in the Dark Over Chemical Exposure.

DOD is the biggest owner of EPA Superfund sites. The contaminants and health effects of exposure are published on the EPA Superfund website. A simple website hyperlink to military installations on the National Priority List (EPA Superfund), identifying the contaminants and health effects can save lives, but no one seems interested in setting up this hyperlink.
