DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, was a US federal law that allowed state agents to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. Yesterday this provision was struck down by the supreme court as unconstitutional, quote, “as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment.”

 

Hysterical gay rights supporters erupted in cheers over the 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court, 9 politically connected lawyers wearing robes.

 

Some supporters chanted, “USA! USA!” apparently forgetting the party responsible for oppressing them in the first place.

 

Interestingly, though DOMA has been law since 1996, it was only until this year that it was challenged in court. The reason? According to Bloomberg, the NY woman who challenged DOMA was facing half a million dollars in taxes from when her gay lover died. Had the people calling themselves the federal government recognized their marriage, she would not have been extorted.

 

Just to be clear, so the gays hear it: This woman’s inspiration in challenging this decade-old law was not equality but tax resistance.

 

According to Dale Everett of Flaming Freedom, quote:

 

“People wanted government involved in marriage so they could control people and reward them through government for behavior they felt was moral. This [repealing of DOMA] is a step toward getting gov back out of marriage. Now that it’s not serving its purpose as well (controlling people), even social conservatives will soon be on board with getting government out of marriage as it should be.”

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden today is sitting inside a Russian airport, where he could be waiting for months. According to the Telegraph, Snowden applied for asylum in Ecuador. However, the man who calls himself the president of Ecuador will not grant his approval for Snowden to walk on HIS section of the earth. In the meantime, men calling themselves the US government have invalidated Snowden’s passport in an attempt to capture him. It is uncertain at the time what will be the fate of the 30-year-old man who informed Americans that their government is spying on them through their computers, cell phones, and even microwaves.

Speaking of microwaves, Can Pot Cure Cancer? Some say yes, others say it’s a definite maybe.

 

Danny Panzella of TruthSquad.TV and the Peaceful Streets Project NYC is producing a feature documentary on the medical and nutrition benefits of cannabis.
