there is virtually nothing coming from 'our free press' that i believe anymore other than fire, and earthquake reporting;

haven't found a really good 'thin blue line' story recently but this will fill the gap in which a family is subject to a swat raid for growing tomatoes;

Leawood, KS — Adlynn and Robert Harte and their two children had harmed no one and broken no laws when heavily armed militarized SWAT deputies with the Johnson County sheriff’s department stormed their home like it was an ISIS compound. The “hero” deputies were searching for evidence of marijuana production and use but they found none because the Harte’s don’t use or produce marijuana. They do grow vegetables, however, and they also drink tea.

The Hartes and their two children were held at gunpoint and nearly killed for purchasing supplies for their vegetable garden and drinking tea. After they were seen buying gardening supplies, cops rummaged through their trash and mistook tea leaves for weed, sparking ‘probable cause’ for the raid. Since the raid in 2012, the Harte family has been attempting to seek justice but to no avail. This month, however, they finally got a break.

According to Reason, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit ruled that Adlynn and Robert Harte, who lost their case after a jury trial in 2017, were wrongly denied the opportunity to pursue several of their claims against the Johnson County sheriff’s deputies who stormed into their home as part of a comically inept publicity stunt.

In the realm of unlawful police raids, this one may take the cake. It began with a Missouri State Highway Patrolman staking out a garden store every day in Kansas City in hopes of catching some pot growers. Robert Harte visited the store with his two children to buy supplies for an educational vegetable garden project in his basement.

The sergeant shared Harte’s information with a counterpart in the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO), which was planning to raid several suspected cannabis growers on 4/20…such originality. JCSO went through the Harte’s trash on three occasions, eventually finding what officers believed was cannabis clippings soaked in THC extract. Because everyone throws away their weed, right?........https://thefreethoughtproject.com/cops-raid-innocent-family-garden-supplies/

trump will win the next 'selection' and here are the reasons why;

Moodys Analytics correctly predicted every Presidential winner since 1980, and two days ago, smack in the middle of the latest impeachment kerfuffle, they predicted Trump would win in 2020 by an electoral landslide.[1]

{snip}

Here are four intrusive smelling salts intended to rouse Democrats from their sleep, because if they don´t wake up, Donald Trump is going to get re-elected.

Reason 1: Illegal immigration

One million people were stopped trying to cross into the United States last year. Yes, one million people! [2] {snip}

{snip}

The liberal media interminably carps that detainees are treated poorly, that a child died in detention, that a pregnant mother was not given care, that a baby is crying for his parents, and that a racist, corrupt, uncaring, narcissistic President is responsible for it all.

It then tosses in a dollop of pedagogy to school Americans that the term “illegal alien” is racist, demeaning, and absolutely needs to be excised from the lexicon. All migrants, legal and otherwise, should be called “immigrants.” {snip}

But despite this fusillade of sympathy for immigrants, that is, illegal immigrants, there is a large segment of American society that isn´t playing along.

Whatever this demographic is named —some call them “deplorables”—these Americans actually object to a million people entering the country without visas. They really do.

Here´s a voice large segments of the media and Democrats in particular, have not heard, are not listening to, but most importantly, will not listen to:...............https://www.amren.com/news/2019/11/four-ominous-reasons-trump-will-win-in-2020/

its like the capone gang vs the purple gang, only its those who pretend to represent us, and it won't end well as the mango mussolini's gang take them on;

And so Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff take the Republic into a dangerous defile on a dark day as they engineer a House resolution with rules for a medieval-style inquiry on the existence of phantoms. The phantom du jour, of course, is the fabled “whistleblower,” a CIA ectoplasm identified by everybody and his uncle in Swampland as one Eric Ciarmarella, 33, a former Joe Biden staffer, Obama White House low-level NSC holdover, and John Brennan “asset” deeply involved in Ukrainian pranks during the 2016 election and subsequent disinformation leakage to the media since the early days of the Trump administration.

     The “whistleblower’s” trail winds through every shadowy turn of RussiaGate to the current phantasmagoria of UkraineGate, and connects the principal misdeeds carried out along the way including Hillary Clinton’s devious operations with Fusion GPS, the Comey-led FBI’s illegal entanglement with CIA spying on US citizens (including occupants of the White House), and lately the mendacious maneuvers of House Intel Committee chair Mr. Schiff.

     The notion that Mr. Ciamarella’s identity will remain officially hidden much longer is a joke, since his “complaint” lies at the center of the impeachment process underway, and sooner or later he will be compelled to make public testimony — unless Ms.Pelosi’s House majority votes to rename the USA the Haunted Forest of North America. And when this unmasked phantom finally faces legitimate cross examination his mischief will be plain for all to see. Do you also suppose that Mr. Ciamarella’s revealed adventures in perfidy have not been noticed by the attorney general, Mr. Barr, and his deputy John Durham?...........https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/halloween-is-over-and-the-jig-is-up/

if you've never seen the sky over the great plains and even if you have, i suggest you look at the photos at this link for some dramatic sky action;

Once you’ve seen a tornado drop from the sky, or watched a powerful storm form, you’re humbled.’

Photographer Eric Meola is telling MailOnline Travel how it feels to be in the presence of an epic, angry weather system - something he’s experienced many times during his quite remarkable career.

Meola has spent four decades photographing storms on America’s Great Plains and has produced a sensational body of work from his trips. And lucky us, some of his very best efforts have been committed to print.............http://www.hideoutnow.com/2019/10/photographer-has-spent-four-decades.html

a short class for those new to the idea of american propaganda;

The Ruling Establishment have always had two main ways of controlling their domestic population, to stay in power and pursue their agenda.

One is “Divide and Conquer”.
Get different sections of their own people hating each other, so they don’t hate the Ruling Elites who are causing the problems.
Having two main political parties is a very effective way of achieving this.

The second is Fear.
This could be fear of a vengeful God or being sent to Hell.
Or Fear of a foreign threat that the Ruling Establishment has invented or wants to attack.

The Neocons, the Military Industrial Complex, the Establishment, and the Mainstream Media, invent and exaggerate non-existent foreign threats because:

A fearful, ignorant, gullible, and outright deceived public is much easier to control for Establishment interests.

Russia is a particular favorite of the Establishment, as a target for the American public to hate.
This is an historical leftover from the Cold War and the Bolshevik USSR.
Don’t let 50 years of previous propaganda go to waste!..............https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/american-war-propaganda-in-a-nutshell/
