Hey everybody, Welcome to Peace News Now, your daily journal of peaceful resistance! I’m DerrickJ. Today’s Friday, November 8th 2013. 1 ounce of silver is 22 dollars. 1 Bitcoin is 327 dollars. This episode is brought to you by friends of http://WeUseCoins.com . You’ve probably been hearing a lot about bitcoin in the news.

Has the government given up on attacking Silk Road? Senator Tom Carper is the Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and the Governmental Affairs Committee. He released the following statement this week, after the launch of the Silk Road 2.0:

quote, “This new website – launched barely a month after Federal agents shut down the original Silk Road — underscores the inescapable reality that technology is dynamic and ever-evolving and that government policy needs to adapt accordingly.”  

But will government policy be able to adapt? Senator Carper hopes so. He’s having a hearing this month on virtual currency. Will this mean more governmental controls over your internet use?

Give ’em an inch and they’ll take a mile. That’s usually how government regulations work. Arizona is no exception, where you can use cannabis as medicine…if you ask permission from government. 40,000 people so far have, seeing little or no downside to registering with the government as cannabis users. But now that those lists have been compiled, the government could now ban those 40,000 users from driving. A prosecutor is attempting to convict a man of a DUI for having trace amounts of THC in his blood. Unlike alcohol, THC can stay inside a person’s system for months after consuming cannabis. If this prosecutor is successful in caging this peaceful pot smoker, he will be setting a precedent that if you smoke one joint today, you can’t legally drive for at least 2 months, or it’s a DUI. Does this make any sense to you?

An 4-th grade government school teacher was suspended this week after forcing a student to say the pledge of allegiance against his religious convictions. Quote,

“(The parents) reported to [the vice principle] that Ms. McDonald had pulled (the student’s) arm to force him to put his hand on his heart and told him that he is an American and needed to show respect.”

The 10-year-old explained that he is a Jehovah’s witness and that he does not worship or pledge allegiance to objects, including flags.

The teacher responded, quote, “If you don’t want to say the pledge, you still have to put your hand on your heart and if you don’t want to do that, you should move out of the country.” The teacher was suspended 5 days without pay and ordered to undergo diversity training.

Speaking of suspensions, a 13-year-old boy was suspended this week, indefinitely, for wearing a purse to school. Please Note: This is real life. Skylar Davis bravely refused to take the purse off, so the school called his mom. She doesn’t see the problem. He and the school are now in a stalemate, with Skylar refusing to return until they let him wear the purse, and the school threatening more suspensions if he does. Talk about a zero-“tolerance” policy. Indiana Jones worked at a school, and he wears a purse.

In a related story, a homeless mother enrolled her 6-year-old son in a nearby school. The only problem is…she doesn’t technically “live” there. She lives in a van. So now the government has charged her with fraud. Clearly acting with the best of intentions for her 6-year-old son, her case drew national attention and support from civil rights leaders and other advocates who wanted the charge dismissed. This week the government convicted her for the crime of stealing $15,000 worth of ‘free’ education. Since she can’t afford to keep fighting the charges, the mother accepted a plea deal from the government even though she insists she is not guilty. The mother was sentenced to 12 years in prison, suspended after she serves five years, and five years probation. Has the government solved any problem here? This boy’s mother, his only guardian, will now be taken away from him from ages 6 to 11. Is this what’s best for the child?

Quote, “ Civilization is the progress of a society towards privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. ” – Ayn Rand

What would *you* do if you were seated on a plane, ready to take off, and suddenly two airline employees tell you to get up and leave?

Around 8am this morning, Attorney Ajna Sharma-Wilson was detained without explanation on a Frontier Airlines flight in LA.  She is a lawyer who plays a critical role in defending the rights of people to consume and procure the foods of their choice. Fortunately, Ajna recorded the interaction. In the audio, which was recorded by her smartphone, Ajna can be heard asking all the right questions.

She asks the names of all involved, though they are reluctant to answer, and says, quote, “Please repeat what you said to me.” She also asks a nearby passenger to write down his phone number so that she may call him as a witness.

Ajna was eventually escorted from the plane under duress. Instead of offering an explanation to their customer, the airline employees threatened to call the authorities. She missed her flight because of the ordeal, and is now stuck at the airport. No explanation has yet been given. Stay tuned to Peace News Now for updates as they develop.

In the meantime, listen to the shocking audio that Ajna captured. And take a note from her! If something is happening around you that isn’t right, it is *your* responsibility to be prepared and to act quickly to get an objective record like Ajna did. She also sent out a blast email to friends and supporters to spread the word of this far and wide. This shouldn’t happen to anyone, but it can serve as an excellent model for others to follow if you find yourself in a similar situation.

Being asked to leave a plane and missing your flight is pretty disruptive, but it’s nothing compared to what some are facing at the hands of the Deming Police Department in New Mexico. One man is filing a Federal Lawsuit against the department after reports surfaced earlier this week that the police there forced doctors to anally rape him. This is not satire. Police pulled the man over after he allegedly rolled through a stop sign. They said that he was clenching his butt cheeks, and they were determined to find out if there were drugs in there. Police took the man from his car and brought him to the hospital, where they demanded doctors in the emergency room search his anus. They refused, saying it was unethical. So police brought the man to another hospital, where the doctors complied. Without his consent, they put their fingers in his anus 3 times and found nothing. They forced him to endure involuntary enemas and defecate into a pan in front of police and doctors twice, but they found no drugs in his stool. They took an x-ray of his abdomen, and still found no drugs. Finally, they sedated the man and explored the inside of his anus, colon, and large intestine with a small, insertable video camera during a full colonoscopy. They didn’t find any drugs. Now the hospital is charging the man for the procedures, and they’re threatening to send a collections agency after him if he doesn’t pay.

Now after that report surfaced, another man came forward with the same claim. He was detained and forced to be anally raped by a different police department for allegedly turning without using a blinker. This story would be too bizarre to believe–if there weren’t medical records to back all of it up. New Mexico Attorney Shannon Kennedy is filing a federal lawsuit on their behalf. The police involved will be investigated by their own departments. The doctors who inserted their fingers and surgical equipment into the anus of a man who did not consent could also lose their ability to practice medicine, but that’s up to bureaucrats.

A man bought 24 dollars worth of bitcoin in 2009 and forgot about them, only to find out this week they’re now worth $1 million. Today’s Sunday, October 27th 2013. 1 ounce of silver is 23 dollars. 1 Bitcoin is 180 dollars. Peace News Now is brought to you by Bitcoin from friends of http://WeUseCoins.com .

A Norwegian article reports that a student named Christopher Koch was hunting for a job when he remembered his small investment in the new currency. He racked his brain for the password and finally unlocked his encrypted wallet. When he originally purchased the bitcoins, he was able to pick up about 5,000 bitcoins for less than $25 bucks. Today, that sum is worth in excess of one million dollars. Christopher immediately purchased a large apartment in a metropolitan area of Norway. Now, politicians are demanding a cut. Bureaucrats in Norway say that people who make money investing should give a third of their earnings to them for what they ironically call a “value-added tax.” Bitcoin is problematic for politicians like this. Unlike in the past when governments could seize a person’s money through a third party like a bank, bitcoin can be held privately and anonymously. Without access to specially encrypted passwords, you can’t take someone’s bitcoins. Should Christopher pay the tax? Would you? Share your thoughts on the Peace News Now facebook page.

In other news, medical doctor and journalist Michael Lofti published an open letter to Obama in a blogpost at BenSwann.com this week. In it, he shares that he sacrificed 8 years of his young life to study medicine. He took on $300k in debt so that he could be a doctor. Now, because of Obamacare, he’s hanging up his white coat and leaving medicine to pursue a career on Wall St. He says that bureaucrats have slowly chipped away at natural incentives that make it attractive to become a doctor. Quote,

“Since the passage of Obamacare everything has changed. When I started college I never intended to work for the government. I never thought I’d have a government bureaucrat dictate what I was worth to the market, and I certainly never imagined those same bureaucrats (who have absolutely no medical training) telling me how to treat my patients.”

Dr Lofti’s sentiments are not uncommon. Obamacare has forced many practices to become cash-only businesses, while discouraging bright young people from becoming doctors and forcing others into early retirement.

In the District of Criminals, Rand Paul is playing politics. He’s creating a Win-Win situation by attaching an “audit the fed” bill to Obama’s nomination of Janet Yellen as Federal Reserve Chair. This means that he will attempt to make it so that if the Senate votes to approve Yellen as the new head of the Fed, they would also be approving a bill that would audit the Federal Reserve, returning transparency to the money supply. While it’s unlikely that Rand’s bill will get approval, it will at least bring attention to the Federal Reserve, which has never been audited in its 100 years of operation. The Central Bank was created with the stated mandate of keeping inflation low and to prevent booms and busts. How’s it doing with that?

In other news, Radley Balko reports that one activist in Utah is bringing conservatives on board the police reform movement. Tired of reading endless stories about police shooting innocent people and facing no consequences, 31-year old Connor Boyack founded an organization called Libertas. Among other things, Libertas seeks to reduce the violence perpetrated by law enforcers. Connor reached out to legislators, police organizations and activists to craft a bill that would restrict the use of SWAT teams to emergency scenarios, ones where lives are at risk. No more battering rams, flash grenades, and raiding houses with guns, just to find some drugs. Connor said, quote, “We’re interested in saving lives. And we’re as interested in saving the lives behind the gun as those in front of it.”
