The US, UK, and France have agreed to bolster the Syrian rebels by providing more, quote, “help.” If that “help” involves the west arming the Syrian rebels, then that is an act of war against the Syrian government and a clear violation of peace talks. This will only invite Russia to sink or shoot down any vessels or planes entering Syrian airspace that is landing or preparing to land or dock near or in territory held by the rebels.

By contrast, agents of the Swedish Government say they will grant permanent residency to any Syrian refugee seeking asylum. Sweden already granted permanent residency to half of refugees in the past year. Now 8,000 Syrians who previously received temporary residency permits will now be offered full and permanent residency. Austria has accepted 200 refugees and Germany will accept 5,000 displaced Syrians. Kudos to those who seek solutions for Syria that don’t involve bombs.

BitPay Inc, a payment processor for virtual currencies, announced this week that it has over 10,000 approved merchants in 164 countries using its service to accept bitcoin payments. This milestone was reached almost exactly one year after the company approved its 1,000th merchant.

BitPay’s merchant network is international: 50% are located in North America, 25% in Europe, and 25% in the rest of the world. Bitcoin lowers the risk and cost of accepting payments online.

With pre-built plugins or embedded solutions for 20 of the most popular shopping cart platforms, adding bitcoin as a payment option to a merchant’s webstore can be done in a few minutes, without any programming code. Year-to-date in 2013, over $34 million worth of bitcoins have been spent on goods and services through merchants using BitPay’s platform.

Mark Schmidter is a peaceful, 66-year-old commercial roofing contractor. He was recently released from jail after sitting for 104 days for the crime of handing out pamphlets outside of a Florida courthouse. Just a few months out of the cage, and the authoritarians have already invented an excuse to lock him back up:

This past Saturday, Mark spent the morning standing at the side of a busy road waiting for the light to turn red. When traffic came to a stop, he walked between cars and distributed a double-sided sheet of paper. One side contained a petition form that residents could fill out and a message urging participation in Wednesday’s city council meeting regarding red-light cameras. The other side provided information on why they should not be used, arguing that red light cameras are all about money, not safety.

When a law enforcer named Campbell saw this happening, he approached Mark and asked him if he had a permit to protest the red light cameras. Mark said no. Then Campbell demanded ID. Mark explained that he didn’t have any since he wasn’t driving. Campbell demanded Mark’s name and date of birth. Mark agreed to provide that information to the law enforcer if Campbell could show Mark what law he had violated. Campbell said he did not have to do that and again demanded Mark’s information. Mark didn’t speak, so Campbell grabbed Mark’s wrists and put them in metal shackles and took him to a cage.

While this was happening, a man came out of a nearby restaurant and identified himself as a former county judge who recognized Mark from his last free speech arrest. The judge warned the police, quote, “That’s the last person you need to mess with.”

Mark was charged with obstructing an officer without violence and given a $65 ticket for a quote “pedestrian violation”. He was held for twelve hours before being released on a $500 bond. He’s fighting the charges on First Amendment grounds.

Only 500 valid signatures are required to force a referendum on the use of red light cameras onto the ballot. Out of thirty such votes around the country, cameras have lost ninety percent of the time.

Quote: “There is only one thing worse than fighting with allies and that is fighting without them.” — Winston Churchill

Participating with The State in order to achieve freedom is issue of debate within the Liberty Community. Sometimes working within the system is effective, and other times it’s a step backwards. One of those instances has arisen this week in Arkansas, where House Bill 1536 just passed. The bill permits residents to purchase raw milk directly from the farms where it is produced without punishment from The State. However, raw milk sales at farmers markets and retail stores are still prohibited under the law.

The new rule also requires that raw milk farmers affix standard labels to milk containers notifying customers that the milk is not pasteurized. In an effort to stunt the growth of grassroots dairy, the farmers are also prohibited from selling more than 500 gallons per month. On the plus side, Arkansan farmers have regained an age-old source of income in a time when they need it most, and consumers of raw milk need no longer become bootlegging criminals. The authoritarians may be loosening their grip, but the presumption remains that agents of The State have the authority to tell You what foods you may consume and how much food you may produce. A Free Person decides these things for himself regardless of what bureaucrats say.

Integrity seems to be winning the battle for food freedom. In June, McDonald’s announced it was closing its doors in Bolivia, where consumers defeated the fast food giant the old fashioned way: they didn’t buy what it was selling.

Since parting ways with its former majority owner, McDonalds’, Mexican Fast Food Favorite Chipotle has announced plans to become the first US restaurant chain to strip its menu items of all genetically engineered ingredients. And in a chilling video that’s going viral right now, Chipotle cleverly integrates their message of “food with integrity” in an advertisement for a free iPhone game.

quote: In a dystopian fantasy world, all food production is controlled by fictional industrial giant Crow Foods. Scarecrows have been displaced from their traditional role of protecting food, and are now servants to the crows and their evil plans to dominate the food system. Dreaming of something better, a lone scarecrow sets out to provide an alternative to the unsustainable processed food from the factory.

Kudos to Chipotle for the clever marketing and for daring to dream of a world where quality fast food isn’t a fantasy.

Angel Clark writes at http://NoArmyCanStopAnIdea.com  that Colorado now permits cannabis…so long as the bureaucrats get a cut. The State expects to collect 130 million dollars in taxes on pot alone this year. Small businesses like coffee shops pay between fifteen and thirty five percent effective tax rate, but when you substitute beans for flowers, suddenly that tax rate jumps to 93 percent. Because the IRS still considers the sale of cannabis illegal, legitimate businesses cannot deduct payroll expenses or any other standard deductions like other businesses are able to do.  According to the National Cannabis Industry Association, a standard cannabis store in Colorado pays between 60 and 80 percent in taxes, sometimes as high as 93 percent.

At least their government no longer arrests people for having pieces harmless vegetation in their pockets. The NH Civil Liberties Union has run the numbers and found that across New Hampshire, blacks are 2 and a half times more likely than whites to be arrested for cannabis possession. In Cheshire County, where Keene is located, it’s even worse: Law enforcers there are TEN TIMES more likely to arrest blacks than whites for cannabis possession. Combine that with the fact that black people only account for less than 1 and a half percent of the entire state population. As Ian Freeman points out at http://FreeKeene.com, it’s bad enough that racism still exists in 2013, but how dangerous it is when the racists wear badges.

Keepers at a wildlife park in China removed a newborn baby elephant from his mother the first time after she stomped on him. Hoping that the injury was accidental, zookeepers returned the calf to his mother’s side, but she rejected him again, so they had to remove him again. The calf wept under a blanket for five straight hours before keepers were able to console him. Fortunately, he has been adopted by the keeper who rescued him and they have formed a strong bond.

How you treat others matters, evidenced by a celebratory obituary has gone viral online. The surviving family wrote to the local paper that their mother was a serial abuser and they are glad she’s dead. Here are some excerpts, quote, “On behalf of her children whom she so abrasively exposed to her evil and violent life, we celebrate her passing from this earth and hope she lives in the after-life reliving each gesture of violence, cruelty, and shame that she delivered on her children. Most of us have found peace in helping those who have been exposed to child abuse and hope this message of her final passing can revive our message that abusing children is unforgivable, shameless, and should not be tolerated in a humane society. Our greatest wish now, is to stimulate a national movement that mandates a purposeful and dedicated war against child abuse.”

Celebrity Ghost Writer Michael Malice said of this article, quote, “Just because someone has sperm or eggs doesn’t mean they’re going to be even a mediocre parent. If you’ve been lucky, try to show compassion for those who haven’t.”

Contrast that last obituary with another one from this week, from a woman called Pink who died the very next day and left behind the same number of children. Some of the lessons she taught her family, quote,

Go to church with a chicken sandwich in your purse. Give the chicken sandwich to your homeless friend after mass.

Go to a nursing home and kiss everyone. Invite new friends to Thanksgiving dinner. If they are from another country and you have trouble understanding them, learn to “listen with an accent.”

Never say mean things about anybody; they are “poor souls to pray for.”

Put picky-eating children in the box at the bottom of the laundry chute, tell them they are hungry lions in a cage, and feed them veggies through the slats.

Correspond with the imprisoned and have lunch with the cognitively challenged.

Offer rides to people carrying a big load or caught in the rain or summer heat.

Allow the homeless to keep warm in your car while you are at Mass.

In her lifetime, Pink made contact time after time. Those who’ve taken her lessons to heart will continue to ensure that a cold drink will be left for the overheated garbage collector and mail carrier, every baby will be kissed, every nursing home resident will be visited, and the hungry will have a sandwich.

Above all, Pink wrote — to everyone, about everything. She is survived by her children and grandchildren whose photos she would share with prospective friends in the checkout line.

May we all take a lesson from Pink and connect with our fellow man today. This story brought to you by http://Blockchain.info — Download the free bitcoin wallet that syncs with your smartphone at http://Blockchain.info

A dad who loves his teenage daughter decided to teach her a lesson in modesty with an unforgettable visual aid. After she insisted on wearing daisy dukes out to dinner with family, her dad cut off his jeans to make daisy dukes for himself and wore them out. He said of his action, quote, “I’m a firm believer that the way we dress sends messages about us, and it influences the way we and others act. Instead of turning her response and disrespectful attitude into a major battle, I decided to make a “small” statement on how her short-shorts maybe aren’t as “cute” as she thinks!”

On the way to teaching his first class, former CIA Director David Patraeus was chased down a New York City street by shouting students at the City University of New York. The war criminal responsible for the “counterinsurgency” strategy of the Iraq War even darted into oncoming traffic in front of a honking bus to avoid the crowd, but to no avail, they followed him right into the street. The students shouted, quote, “Every class, David,” suggesting they plan to protest him on a weekly basis, before every lecture. Keep it up, guys! Judging from the guilty and terrified look on his face, your words and actions really affected him.

Speaking of peaceful resistance in New York City, overregulation is pushing new businesses underground. And thanks to the internet’s ability to connect individuals, it can all happen in secret. A website called “Underground Eats” offers members exclusive dining experiences hosted by private individuals and prepared by professional chefs in 20 different countries. City bureaucrats say that the clandestine dinner parties are a violation of the law and should be shut down. But others say the agreement is voluntary–guests who attend the dinner parties aren’t forced to join, but they keep coming. If you bring a bottle of wine to *your* dinner parties, what’s the difference between this relationship and eating with your neighbors?

Forcing people to buy something, even health insurance, is immoral, and like all meddling in the economic decisions of individuals, it leads to perverse consequences. Case in point? The popular health food supermarket chain Trader Joe’s has been regularly applauded for providing its part-time workers with awesome benefits including dental and vision, but now it’s dropping healthcare for many of its employees. The reason? Complying with the new Obamacare laws makes it too expensive for the company to continue coverage. It’s simple math, not a lack of compassion. The road to hell was paved with good intentions. It’s time that well-intended liberals put *down* the gun of the state and pick *up* an economics book.

Speaking of the gun of the state, RT reveals more threats from the NSA. Last week, Microsoft and Google shocked the world when they teamed up in a lawsuit against the federal government, fighting for free speech. Now the CEOs of both Yahoo and Facebook join that lawsuit. In a press conference in San Francisco, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer said she was threatened with treason if she didn’t comply with the government’s demands to hand over private user data. What user data, you ask? They can’t tell you! The companies are being threatened if they inform users of what information the government was demanding. While today these companies see compliance as a virtue, eventually, economics will dictate that they disobey! Imagine the press if a Fortune 500 CEO goes to jail for protecting their user’s data. Yahoo stock would have soared, especially if it then came out that their competitors had all complied.

Speaking of compliance, Ladar Levison, the founder of Lavabit, a private email service, chose to shut down operations rather than comply with NSA spying demands. Now he’s appealing that order. However, similar to Yahoo and Facebook, the government has issued a gag order which would jail him for simply speaking about the government demands. In the one month since the shutdown, Levison has raised more than $100,000 to finance the appeal, which is set to be heard October 3rd in a closed-door hearing. By law, a censored version of the proceedings should be made public. Peace News Now will continue to bring you the latest on this issue.

In other peaceful resistance news, Explicit rules against dirty dancing sent Red River High School students migrating from the gym to the far side of town to dance as they pleased. The principal said, Quote, “We are a public high school, with students ages 14 to 18 years old. We are not an adult night club.” About 150 students walked out, and about 50 stayed. Administrators report that the crowd migrated peacefully and respectfully, even cleaning up after themselves as they left. Way to lead by example, Dirty Dancers of Red River High!

In a video going viral this week, a man records his interrogation by State Agents from Child Protective Services. An anonymous complaint was all that was needed for the state to file a petition in Family Court and have the man’s daughter legally taken away from him and have a restraining order placed on him to stay away from her, all without a trial. Watch the video, and get a real perspective of what it’s like to be vilified for being a father. What happens when State agents insert themselves into the family? Is CPS doing more harm than good?

Is the Liberty Movement of peace and privacy being catapulted into the mainstream? Matt Drudge of conservative news aggregator DrudgeReport.com has broken up with Republicans. It’s been said that his website is important enough to be included in the list of daily briefings to Obama, as his headlines are constantly shaping the reporting of other journalists. This week he tweeted, quote,

“It’s now Authoritarian vs. Libertarian. Since Democrats vs Republicans has been obliterated, no real difference between parties…”

With the rise of Alternative media in the age of information, the war of ideas is being won by those who think critically and exercise intellectual honesty.

Lousiana’s State Health Department recently forced a homeless shelter to destroy 1600 pounds of venison because, quote, “deer is not an approved meat source.” In New York City, the Bloomberg administration banned food donations to the city’s government-run homeless shelters. Now, armed bureaucrats in Raleigh, NC are putting people in jail for feeding the hungry. A pastor there has been giving out food to the homeless for 6 years without issue. Last week, he was threatened by police.

Quote, “We asked the officers for permission to disperse the biscuits to the over 70 people who had lined up, waiting to eat. They said no. I had to face those who were waiting and tell them that I could not feed them, or I would be arrested.”

A popular bitcoin figure, Jason King, has created Satoshi Forest, a quote, “homeless sanctuary, a place where the downtrodden can find respite from the ‘crime’ of simply being poor.” King purchased the 9 acres of wooded land after the bureaucrats of his town of Pensacola passed a “camping ban” and he was told that he would be aiding and abetting in a crime for bringing a blanket someone who is freezing sleeping outside. The plan is to use the private property of Satoshi Forest to provide blankets, shelter, a kitchen, skills workshops, and other useful materials for those who need a lift in life. The mortgage will be paid entirely in bitcoin. Get the heartwarming details at http://BitcoinMagazine.com

In other news, 3 young students climbed the roof of their middle school during off hours to explore and play. A police officer who arrived took out an M-16 semi-automatic rifle and aimed it at the children, even though they were cooperating. The parents are angry, but the school and police say they were justified because the officer was, quote, “nervous.”

“Nervousness” was also the justification after a school police officer shot and killed 14-year-old Derek Lopez after he got in a scuffle with a fellow student. Derek fled from the school cop rather than submit, and he paid for it with his life. The officer killed him with a bullet to the back out of, quote, “fear for [his] own safety.” http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=35439

Video from news stations in Colorado last month showed a law enforcer with a shotgun pointed at a child, with his finger ready to pull the trigger. Police refused to name the officer in question yet excused his actions as being nervous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdq8LqPBU50

Rule number one of gun safety is never point your gun at something you don’t intend to shoot. I guess if you’re a cop and you’re “nervous” everyone is fair game.

Jeffrey Tucker of the Lassaize Faire Book Club penned an article this week revealing the real story behind the recent fast food strikes. In reality, these were photo-op events, organized by unions. The media, for the most part, played right into their hands, ignoring the fact that the so-called nationwide strikes only resulted in the closing of one fast food restaurant — a McDonald’s in Detroit. In some cases, paid stand-ins were hired by the hour to appear as disgruntled strikers. It’s so much more interesting to report that organized labor is sticking it to the suits in corporate — even if they’re not.

Finally, JG Vibes reports for http://Intellihub.com :

An off duty law enforcer named Thomas murdered unarmed 29 year old Matthew Jackson in San Antonio this Saturday, leaving behind a wife and a  2 and a half year old son.

Matthew’s body was found in the front seat of his car, with his left foot on the ground and he appeared to be shot while sitting in his own vehicle. Police deny the claim but refuse to present contrary evidence.

Matthew’s brother said of him, quote, “His biggest fear in life was to not be a good dad. Matthew wouldn’t have taken any risks because he was a father.”

The off-duty cop who killed Matthew has been given a paid vacation for as long as the investigation continues. Unfortunately, not much is expected to come up, as his friends at the police department are in charge of investigating themselves. The greatest irony, however, is that Matthew’s widow and grieving family will continue to pay the salaries of the people who murdered him. Stop paying for this.
