‘Highly Dangerous’ Radioactive Material Stolen from US Company – Official Warns of ISIS ‘Dirty Bomb’

Thanks to the tyrannical and murderous foreign policy of the United States, and their perpetual funding and arming of extremist groups in the Middle East, a terrorist organization known as the Islamic State has burst on to the scene and shown to be a substantial threat.
ISIS, unlike previous government-created boogeymen, has demonstrated that they are capable of inflicting great harm in both the East and the West, which makes the news of ‘highly dangerous’ radioactive material being stolen, quite worrisome.
On Wednesday, Reuters reported that the material had been stolen from a US-owned storage facility, in Basra, Iraq.

Oklahoma Bill, Removing Names of Presidential Electors from Ballot, Passes Committee

On February 17, the Oklahoma Senate Rules Committee unanimously passed SB 1108, which removes the names of candidates for presidential elector from the November ballot. The only other states that still print the names of presidential elector candidates on the ballot are Arizona, Idaho, North Dakota, and South Dakota. None of those states let voters vote for individual candidates for presidential elector, so the information isn’t very meaningful. The Oklahoma bill says the names of the candidates for presidential elector will be posted at the polling place. Thanks to E. Zachary Knight for this news.

Petitioner for Rocky De La Fuente Sues Connecticut Over Ban on Out-of-State Circulators in Primaries

On February 8, Shawn Wilmoth, who has been hired to collect signatures to place Rocky De La Fuente on the Democratic presidential primary ballots in many states, filed a federal lawsuit against the Connecticut law that bars out-of-state circulators for primary petitions. Wilmoth lives in Michigan. The case is Wilmoth v Merrill, 3:16cv-223.
De La Fuente needs 7,039 signatures to be collected from February 16 through March 4. Only registered Democrats may sign. This is a difficult petition requirement. Because the petitioning period has already started, the lawsuit is being expedited. The state’s response is …read more

Bernie Left Stunned After American Indian Movement Founder Asks Him if He Will Honor the Treaties

Minneapolis, MN – During the Black America Forum in Minneapolis, American Indian Movement founder, and iconic civil rights activist Clyde Bellecourt was the last audience member to be given the opportunity to pose a question to presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
Bellecourt, 79, an elder of the Anishinaabe tribe, took direct aim at Sanders and the other presidential candidates for ignoring the Native community and not speaking “a single word about Native people” in the fight for social justice.
According to a report by Indian Country Today Media Network:
Bellecourt introduced himself both by his name in his language and his “colonial name” and …read more

The part of my job I hate second most

As I told you in our last message… TODAY, I have to sign checks for $11,400. We needed $2,300 in order to cover those checks. Thankfully, we’ve raised $794. That helps, but obviously it’s not enough.

We reported lots of good news…
Bills introduced
New relationships on Capitol Hill
Publicity for our efforts
Growth
We have momentum right now. I’d prefer to build on that. Instead, I have to come and plead for help.

This is the part of my job I dislike second-most — asking for urgent funding (filling out government forms is worse). But if I don’t turn to you, then to whom can I …read more

A Sign of the Times — Mayor’s Wife Opens Marijuana Shop…Right Next To Her Strip Club

Glendale, CO – A new marijuana shop recently opened in Colorado, but this one is owned by the mayor’s wife, and it is located directly next to a strip club, which she also owns. Deborah Dunafon thinks that there will be a lot of crossover for the audiences between the two businesses, and said that perhaps the marijuana could actually make the environment in the area more safe and calm.

The Smokin’ Gun Apothecary will now be opened directly adjacent to the strip club Shotgun Willie’s, and there will be cross promotions running between both of the businesses to encourage people …read more

Bombshell: Co-creator of Civil Asset Forfeiture Wants to Abolish It, No More Policing for Profit

One of the most insidious abuses of state power lies in the practice of civil asset forfeiture (CAF), where government agents can seize cash and property from citizens who are not charged with a crime. Law enforcement needs only the suspicion (often concocted) of a crime to immediately steal a person’s belongings, and the person must then prove his or her innocence with costly attorney’s fees to get their property back.
The case of Joseph Rivers, 22, provides a shocking example of how bad it can get. While on his way to Hollywood to start a music career, the DEA stole …read more

Resurrection Remix: The OS That Brings Your Android Device Back from the Dead

At the Dark Android Project, I generally recommend either loading CyanogenMod or AOSP onto your Android device. Getting away from Alphabet/Google’s ever-increasing control of the OS is doing more harm than good, in my opinion (and if you want to be really saucy, don’t even use the Google Play Store, use F-Droid instead). But those recommendations were never meant to be the only ones, they just happened to be the most popular.
But now there is a new entrant into Dark Android-recommended Android-based operating systems: Resurrection Remix.
With the more specific goal of taking older hardware and bringing it up to the …read more
