The Washington Times reports that immigrant rights activists shut down a court in Tucson, Arizona this week by preventing authorities from processing illegal immigrants who were to be sentenced to jail and eventually deported.

The activists had chained themselves to bus tires and to the court entrance early Friday morning and had been there for three and a half hours. The court canceled its proceedings for the day as a result of their protest.

The immigrants on the buses were being held under something called “Operation Streamline.” Operation Streamline is a practice where Judges sentence immigrants to labor in Arizona jails before they are deported, as a punishment for entering the country without following the rules. The program circumvents the 6th Amendment by denying people a trial by jury and turns the state into judge, jury, and executioner.

Activist Roberto Cintli Rodriguez said, quote, “When humanity is confronted with unjust laws, it is our responsibility to challenge them.” Friday’s move was a precursor to next week, when the activists plan to try to shut down the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Phoenix.

Marisa Franco of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network said, quote, “Under the president’s administration, nearly two million families have been torn apart through detention and deportation. Our communities can no longer wait for the president to rediscover his moral compass or for Congress to actually do its job. We will do what any mother or father would do and keep our families together by preventing ICE from being able to tear them apart.”

On Friday, the activists posted live video of their protest online, showing some marching with signs in the middle of the road that read “End Streamline.” Others were lying down next to the bus tires to try to make sure the vehicles couldn’t move. In another video, activists had blockaded the entrance to the court where the illegal immigrants were supposed to be processed. The activists had linked arms inside of tubes, which makes it more difficult for authorities to separate them and remove them. One of those shooting the video said there were 70 people on the buses, and they were showing their shackles through the windows. One man on the video feed said, quote, “Today, for the first time in six years, we’ve seen Streamline be stopped.”

The Blaze dot com reports this week that the “Million Vet March” descended on Washington, D.C., Sunday to protest the decision to close the city’s public memorials. Thousands of demonstrators arrived early in the morning and tore down barricades that had been set up to block people from visiting the popular attractions. According to a statement on its website, the group said military personnel and veterans are, quote, “being used a political pawns in the ongoing government shutdown and budget crisis.” The group also said it has no political leaning, but believes that the closing of memorials is, quote, “a despicable act of cowardice.” The veterans were met by a horde of police officers in riot gear surrounding the White House and beating their shields with batons.

The Libertarian Republic reports that the U.S. government came after Craig Zucker the owner of the famous Buckyballs toys, demanding that he pay a $57 million dollar fine to cover recall costs of his product. The government at first just forced him to stop selling the magnetic toys, but then they went even further. They are demanding that Zucker is solely responsible and should be forced to bear the burden of the fine individually.

Now Zucker is fighting back against this egregious case and has created a new product called Liberty Balls! They’re a new product that is much bigger than the original product, so they can’t get in trouble for selling them. They’re the kind of balls you need to stand up for your rights against government.

In other news, Audrey Tobias was found Not Guilty this week in a trial in Canada over her refusal to fill out a Census form. The 89-year old said she was willing to go to jail over the issue because she objected so strongly to the collection of Canadian Census data by American Arms Manufacturer Lockheed Martin. Kudos to Audrey for setting an example for the following generations. Imagine what would happen if everyone were as willing as Audrey to stand up for what is right.

Ed NJ Weedman Forchion reports this week at his website http://NJWeedMan.com that he has legally changed his name in order to bring attention to the injustices he has suffered at the hands of state agents. He admits that the name change will likely be denied. In the past, courts have denied Ed’s attempts to legally change his name the NJWeedMan.com. This Thursday, he wrote on his blog, quote, “I did file to legally change my name to “JUST ANOTHER NIGGER” in the Burlington County Superior Court. I want the Judges and officers of the courts to be forced to call me JUST A NIGGER as this case proceeds.”

Ed says he feels like he’s being treated as a second class citizen. He wants court officials to drop their pomp and circumstance and call him how they’re treating him. In his blog post, Ed NJWeedMan Forchion says that the court refuses to recognize his rights under the New Jersey Compassionate Use Act. That law distinguishes between medical and recreational use, and NJWeedman is a medical user. However, the court ignored the law. NJWeedman suspects racism. What do *you* think? Should people be free to change their names to whatever they want? Is the court being racist? Share your thoughts on the Peace News Now facebook page!

Beginning next year, stores with special permission from the State can sell cannabis. But before that happens, voters in Colorado will decide whether to approve Proposition AA. The new law would impose a new tax of 30 percent. But that’s not all. Question 2A in Denver would authorize an additional sales tax of up to 15 percent to go to the city bureaucrats. That’s not in place of, but in addition to, the taxes that already apply to everything else. If all these taxes are approved and legislators set them at the maximum authorized levels, legal pot in Denver—home to most of the state’s medical marijuana centers, the only businesses that will initially be allowed to serve the recreational market—will be hit by a total sales tax of 38 percent, plus an excise tax of 15 percent. Now Denver attorney Rob Corry is campaigning to get Colorado Pot-smokers to vote NO on Proposition AA to avoid what he calls, quote, “the largest tax increase in Colorado history.” Unfortunately, Amendment 64, the ballot measure that Coloradans voted for last year, grants state agents the authority to tax and regulate cannabis in a manner similar to alcohol. But what happens if bureaucrats regulate the price of cannabis higher than the black market price? Will consumers go back to their old dealer for the better price?

The Canadian Press reported that two Canadian activists returned home on Saturday after seven weeks in an Egyptian prison. On arrival, John Greyson and Tarek Loubani admitted many mistakes. They also gave thanks to those who helped win their freedom.

Tarek Loubani is an emergency-room physician from London, Ontario. John Greyson is an outspoken gay film professor and director living in Toronto. Greyson said, quote, “We call out the collusion of Western powers, seemingly unwilling to denounce military violence against peaceful citizens, and perhaps, most crucially, on the ongoing role of billions in U.S. military aid (that is) helping return Egypt to a nightmare of military dictatorship.”

The two said they had only planned to stop overnight in Cairo on their way to Gaza. They believed they could safely document the violence that erupted in Cairo and tend to the wounded without invoking the wrath of the authorities. Instead, they were swept up in mass arrests and imprisoned in cramped conditions without trial. They said they were beaten and forced to sleep on the concrete with cockroaches.

The two were accused of participating in illegal protests and resisting arrest. This week state agents dropped the accusations against them and gave them permission to leave Egypt. Family and supporters mounted a relentless campaign to have them freed, to which Greyson said, quote, “Your hard work mattered, your voice mattered, it made a difference, we owe you our freedom.”

An agnostic man in Rancho Cordova was shocked to learn that every city council meeting begins with prayer. Steve Vincent thinks it’s ridiculous for people in government to spend their time praying together in a public meeting. To point that out, he offered to give an invocation as a minister of the church of the flying spaghetti monster. Since the secular government technically has to allow equal exercise of all faiths, they accepted his offer. Here are some excerpts from his prayer, which he delivered with open eyes:

“I’m not sure what the point of praying here is.

You’re an agenda item on a government meeting. It just, I’m not sure that’s what, you had in mind for prayer, God.”

I know you want us to do what’s right, and to treat our neighbors with respect, so I have to wonder if our non-believing neighbors are being respected if we pray here.”

There’s a 70-foot granite wall in New York City which is covered in the names of the men killed during the invasion of Vietnam. This week, on the 12th anniversary of the Invasion of Afghanistan, the Vietnam Veterans gathered at their memorial to remember, to sing songs, and to read aloud the names of those who died. But police had other plans for the surviving Vets. As they read names from the wall, police began to arrest attendees, many of them senior citizens, and shove them into a paddy wagon. The attendees were calling for an end to the violence and interventionism, but were arrested because their vigil went past 10:00 p.m. Law enforcers stood ready to pad their monthly quotas by making some arrests.

Jeff Durkin of We Are Change CT live-streamed the arrests. Another person tweeted a picture of the arrests and reported that the arrests began while the names were still being read, prompting people to sing “Which side are you on?” The Memorial Wall was built using tax dollars, but, as PoliceStateUSA.com put it, no veterans’ vigil is going to stand in the way of police racking up some arrest numbers. The right to peaceably assemble on public property evidently does not exist after 10:00 p.m.

Former wrestler Jesse Ventura is running for President in 2016. He recently said that if elected, he would immediately pardon Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden. Ventura also pledged to close down all US military bases overseas including the naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the United States keeps terrorism suspects indefinitely. Obama pledged to shut down Gitmo in his first year as President, but he didn’t. “What are we doing there?” Jesse Ventura asked. He said he will only run for President in 2016 with the support of radio personality Howard Stern. The former governor vowed not to seek money from lobbyists and said the radio host could use his show to raise funds. Ventura was in Washington to promote his new book “They Killed Our President,” which alleges that the 1963 Kennedy assassination was a conspiracy in reaction to his efforts to reduce war.

In other news, the Blush family is having a fundraiser to their new, first-of-its-kind docu-reality tv-show Sovereign Living.

In an age of large governmental influence, the Blush family aims to explore and learn about how they can take care of themselves and their community, voluntarily. Themes include: Self-sufficiency, Resolving crime without police, Alternative economies, Alternative education, Home-birth, and Natural health. Sovereign Living is opting for “sovereign” distribution. They’ve come to viewers directly to ask for your support in making this vision a “reality”.

This summer featured a flood of revelations from NSA contractor turned whistleblower Edward Snowden: namely that everyday folks working for the federal government are reading the content of private emails of Americans, even their web content.

But did you know the NSA has an Achilles heel? The supercomputers they use to spy on you get hot. They use cycling water to cool them down. Just to keep operating one of their data centers, they depend on running through over a million gallons of water per day. But did you know that the people who are providing that water can Turn It Off? http://OffNow.org is filled with information you can use to help your state refuse to cooperate with the what the NSA is doing. If you think working within government is effective way to get things done, here’s your opportunity. At http://OffNow.org you’ll find legislation that you can propose to state, county, and even town governments. You can literally cut and paste and replace a few things and bam, propose some legislation to stop cooperating with the NSA’s massive spy effort. Go check it out right now and see how you can stop the NSA and help make the world a better place. http://OffNow.org

A town in New Jersey now requires beggars to get a permit to beg. The new law allows police to collect a minimum fine of $250 from those who beg without permission. If caught, a person can even serve jail time.

From http://PoliceStateUSA.com , A man says that the federal government is forcing him to sleep with an uncomfortable and invasive device strapped to his face every night, or else he will lose his ability to support his family. Wayne Foutz is 47, and he says that his life has changed since he last went through the federal government’s licensing requirements for him to work as a commercial truck driver. He says that his last medical checkup — federally mandated every 2 years to remained licensed — left him with a hasty diagnosis of sleep apnea, and a requirement of wearing a breathing aid called a (CPAP) machine.

He’s now struggling to sleep, thanks to his obligation to wear a breathing apparatus every night, which automatically transmits data about his biological processes to a remote monitoring service.

Wayne has been driving trucks for a living for the past 17 years. He says he is healthy and had no sleeping problems before the diagnosis.

Wayne said, quote, “I don’t even snore. I am the same weight I was the day they hired me 15 years ago. I’ve never had an accident. I slept just fine until a week ago when they started strapping [this] to my face. I was diagnosed by a doctor 500 miles away by email.”

The government requirement is that he wears the device for at least 4 hours per night, and it electronically transmits his data back to a remote location. Quote “It’s bugged. It monitors my every breath. If you don’t use it, they call your dispatcher and you are pulled off the road for a minimum of seven days [even if you’re 500 miles away from home].”

Even though he doesn’t want or need it, he also has to pay annual fees for the monitoring service. And he had to pay the machine, too, or lose his commercial driver’s license. Some suspect this recent push for sleep studies and medical equipment was because of ulterior motives from federal regulators. Quote, “4% of the population has sleep apnea. But according to [the chief medical bureaucrat], that number jumps to 30-40% when you acquire a commercial driver’s license.”

Such is the result of granting people at the federal government the authority to punish people who drive without their permission.

Demonstrators hope that one million masked activists will descend on Washington, DC next month to celebrate Guy Fawkes Day with a mass rally to remind the world “That fairness, justice and freedom are more than just words.”

The “Million Mask March,” is scheduled for November 5 and is being arranged by affiliates of the international hacktivism movement Anonymous.

The group has been circulating flyers on the Web and in Washington, where they request that a million activists disguised as Fawkes march down the National Mall on November 5 around causes such as government reform, the pharmaceutical industry and the use of genetically modified foods.

Black Panther Herman Wallace was released from prison last week. He was originally imprisoned for charges of armed robbery that he denied, saying he was set up for political reasons. No physical evidence has ever linked him to the crime. After 41 years of solitary confinement, Herman died of liver cancer just days after being released. Among Herman’s last words were, quote, “I am free, I am free.”

Speaking of freedom, a man charged with drug possession, is now suing the police for the months he spent in jail, after a dashcam video revealed that the law enforcer planted the drugs. You can see an object falling from the cop’s hand as he searches the man, who can be heard in the video saying, quote, “You had that bag on you. I gave you consent to search, I don’t know why you are doing this to me.” After reviewing the tape, the judge immediately dropped the man’s charges. Whoops, caught us! Sorry about all those months locked in a rape room!

A student at Temple University is suing the Atlantic City Police. Police charged the student with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and aggravated assault on an officer and a K9. Fortunately, surveillance video recorded the entire incident. It reveals that 20-year-old David Connor Castellani was brutally attacked, by about 10 law enforcers who pinned him to the ground, and beat him with batons. During the beating, more enforcers arrived to join in the bloodlust, provoking a raging police K9 to bite and hold David’s neck. David needed more than 200 stitches to close the gaping wounds and potentially life-threatening injuries left by dog bites to his head and neck. He was also treated for a crushed spinal nerve, and numbness on the right side of the skull. The Mayor of Atlantic City says he found the video quote, “quite disturbing.” But the Police Chief, however, said, quote, “I stand by the officers. I stand by their actions.” What do *you* think? Are there any “good apples” left in law enforcement? Share your thoughts on the Peace News Now facebook page!

In Shire news, Keene held a primary this week on positions in town government. Because of an obscure Keene law, a primary was held to narrow the people’s choices down from 11 candidates to 10. In total, it cost the Keene bureaucrats about $5,000 to remove 1 candidate from the general election. There are 5 liberty candidates running in Keene: David Crawford, James Cleaveland, and Conan Solada for Ward Councilors, Ian Freeman for Counciler At Large, and Darryl W Perry for Mayor.
