South Carolina — The Free Thought Project has been covering the murder of 19-year-old Zachary Hammond by Officer Mark Tiller since the incident occurred on July 26th. Three weeks ago the heartbreaking dashcam video was finally released, which shows a maniacal Tiller ruthlessly take the life of this teenager over a suspected bag of weed.
According to the Post and Courier, “the Hammond case was far from unusual” in South Carolina.

On November 17, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal withdrew from the Republican presidential race. Presumably he will now contact state officials where he has been put on the presidential primary ballot already, and withdraw. See this story. …read more

I say it all the time: in life, I’m a gamer before I’m anything else. More particularly, I’m part of the “PC Master Race” (I’m ethnically Jewish, and I don’t mind that term at all, thank you), but handheld gaming is certainly a long-held passion of mine. Be it playing the original Game Boy in the back of the family van, rocking on my Atari Lynx (yes, I owned one) in my bedroom in the middle of the night, or playing on my custom-Zelda-cased Nintendo DS at work (don’t tell anybody I did…well…I don’t work there anymore, so go ahead), …read more

I love it when a plan comes together.
It’s unfortunately rare (as in, it’s not by my choice) that I get to highlight some new hardware at the Dark Android Project, but there have been a couple things here and there. Take for instance the ASUS Zenfone 2. I’ve highlighted a few times on the Dark Android Blog, and while I’ve yet to do an indepth review, I now own one and it is my daily driver, because it’s an blazing fast and fully capable smartphone, shockingly for its price range.
The Zenfone 2 is part of a shortlist of modern Android …read more

Yesterday, on the Dark Android Blog, I shared the ridiculously important “Bitcoin 101” video from the Bitcoin Investor Conference in Vegas by the lovely and hyper-intelligent Dr. Stephanie Murphy, as I see it as one of the most important videos about Bitcoin available on the internet today.
And while, as I mentioned, I will be sharing my own talk from the event–“Life 4.0”–on this website soon, there is another video that I find it absolutely necessary to share with you on this site. This was the talk given by Paul Rosenberg (author of “A Lodge of Wayfaring Men”, among other books) …read more

Immigration control is a Trojan Horse aimed at YOU! Retweet
By Perry Willis & Jim Babka

Prisons have walls. Prisons are also full of drugs and weapons — even homemade guns. The verdict is clear…

Walls and guards cannot make either drug prohibition or gun prohibition work. EVERYONE should know and understand this by now. Still, millions of Americans are repeating old mistakes by advocating…

People Prohibition

This is what immigration controls amount to — people prohibition. It cannot work, any more than alcohol prohibition, gun prohibition, or drug prohibition worked. Walls and guards and National ID systems cannot keep people out. Instead…

YOU will be …read more

Are we already at war with Russia and Iran? Retweet
By Perry Willis

Do you remember when President Obama…
Promised to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
Won the Nobel Peace Prize before he’d done anything
Well, here’s what Obama has actually delivered…
Sent 3,000 troops back to Iraq
Still has 10,000 troops in Afghanistan
Supported ISIS
Gave weapons to other Islamist groups
But don’t think that Obama alone is responsible for these things. Republicans argued for similar policies. And things are getting worse.

Two years ago, on September 10, 2013, President Obama promised he would NOT put “boots on the ground” in Syria.
President Obama: “I will not put …read more

Worcester, MA – Four Black Lives Matter (BLM) protestors, charged with disturbing the peace, had their trial date postponed until January 2016. However, the real story that came out of the hearing was the fact that Central District Court Judge Robert Pellegrini ruled that the protesters are banned from wearing clothing with the words “Black Lives Matter” on them in his courtroom.
“How is saying Black Lives Matter on a t-shirt or sweatshirt in a courtroom illegal or somehow disallowed and still have my free speech protected? This whole process is just so demonstrative of the disconnect between the law on …read more

Just hours after 155 people were slaughtered by gun-wielding terrorists in France, residents of Greensboro, North Carolina were asked by that city’s police to “show their commitment to safety” by turning in “as many guns as they want.”
According to Greensboro’s Fox affiliate, residents were invited to visit the Destiny Christian Center to sign a “Pledge of Non-violence” any time between 9:00 a.m. and 3 p.m. The first 1,000 signatories were promised a “small gift.” Participants 18 years or older were encouraged to turn in whatever firearms they could find – no questions asked.
In January of last year, Police Chief Ken …read more
