this is a curious item: a woman is facing jail for being without a shirt in her own home. we can wonder who brought the charges but it appears to the mother of the 'offended' chil'ren;

As social justice warriors constantly take to the internet to promote equality of outcome, pounce on anyone who questions their tactics, and silence those who disagree with them on issues, a very real practice of inequality and chauvinism has been and is currently upheld throughout the country and is largely ignored in their circles. In the land of the free, if you are a man, you can take your shirt off and bare your nipples on any street and on any digital platform. However, if you have two X chromosomes, doing this exact same thing with your breasts will land you in jail or facing a ban. One particularly egregious case out of Utah shows how far the statists are willing to go to “protect” you from the female nipple. An innocent woman has been charged with lewdness for being topless — in her own home.

Tilli Buchanan, 27, is facing years in prison, fines, and will have to register as a sex offender — for being topless in her own home.

According to Buchanan, she and her husband had been installing drywall in the garage and both decided to to take off their shirts to get the itchy dust off of them. As NPR reports, when her stepchildren, aged 9, 10 and 13, walked in, she “explained she considers herself a feminist and wanted to make a point that everybody should be fine with walking around their house or elsewhere with skin showing,” her lawyers wrote in court documents.

Because there were three children who saw the horrifying image of a topless woman in her own home, Buchanan is facing three charges of lewdness involving a child. Utah’s lewdness statute, which deals with everything up to the act of raping a child, criminalizes exposure of “the female breast below the top of the areola” in the presence of a child in a private place “under circumstances the person should know will likely cause affront or alarm.”

To claim that Buchanan taking off her shirt in her own garage was meant to “cause alarm” is utterly laughable. Sadly, however, the prison sentence Buchanan faces if convicted is not funny at all.............https://thefreethoughtproject.com/woman-facing-jail-topless-home/

this is a bit longer than i usually post but it has large indications that the uss liberty was sent to the location of its attack intentionally by lbj with the premise that it would be the 'cause' for the empire to attack egypt;

LBJ Proclaims Himself “King of the World”

One instance of how Lyndon B. Johnson’s delusions surfaced occurred in 1965, while flying high on Air Force One, when he proclaimed to several reporters on board that he had become the most powerful man in the world, as he announced to them that he was basically now the “King of the World.” Johnson had invited four reporters from the press pool into his suite to share cocktails with him in his quarters. They were flying high above his domain, which was now the entire world. He was in an ebullient mood, and this phase of his mania was strengthened with each drink from his glass of Cutty Sark scotch.

As he sat in his huge, elevated, custom-designed leather chair (the crew called it “The Throne,”) with the reporters arrayed around him in their smaller cloth seats, he decided to remind this select group of reporters about how fortune had smiled on them that day, to be in the presence of the single most important person in the world. Suddenly, Johnson declared, “Look around the world: Khrushchev’s gone. Macmillan’s gone. Adenauer’s gone. Segni’s gone. Nehru’s gone. Who’s left – de Gaulle?’’ AP reporter Frank Cormier said that Johnson sneered as he uttered the French president’s name:........https://www.lewrockwell.com/2019/11/phillip-f-nelson/the-truth-of-why-lbj-wanted-the-uss-liberty-to-sink-getting-israel-to-help-ensure-his-reelection/

if you expect any truth to come from investigations by 'our' government i suggest you read what pcr has to say about that;

Washington, the Cesspool of the World, Will Never Rat on Itself

Paul Craig Roberts

Former US Attorney Joe diGenova predicts that US Justice (sic) Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the Obama regime’s FISA court violations and US Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation of the Russiagate hoax perpetrated by the CIA, FBI, Democratic National Committee, and presstitute media will be “very bad for people in the Obama administration. . . . it’s going to be devastating . . . it’s going to ruin careers.”

For the sake of accountable government, I hope that Mr. diGenova is right. But I have my doubts. Cabinet departments and government agencies are not very good at investigating themselves. Attorney General Barr’s job is to protect his department. He knows, and will be often told, that to bring indictments against Justice Department officials would discredit the Justice Department in the public’s mind. It would affect the attitude of juries toward DOJ prosecutions. John Durham knows the same thing. He also knows that he will create a hostile environment for himself if he indicts DOJ officials and that when he joins a law firm to capitalize on his experience as a US Attorney, he will not receive the usual favors when he represents clients against DOJ charges. Horowitz knows that his job is to coverup or minimize any illegalities in order to protect the Department of Justice from scandals.

In Washington coverups are the rule, and the DOJ coverup might already have begun. One sign of a coverup is to announce a future release date of the report. This has now occurred with Horowitz’s report on the FISA violations. The purpose of such announcements is to allow the report to be discredited in advance and to be old news by the time it appears......https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/11/25/washington-the-cesspool-of-the-world-will-never-rat-on-itself/

i found this titled: "when the state is ready to kill over a thirty round magazine", and even if the evidence here doesn't convince you, there have been many 'dead' civilians created in the push to take guns from those who might, one day, in a fit of rage, do something that might hurt someone. its the coming  of the era of 'pre-crime' and we're all suspects, until dead, or we spend enough borrowed money to prove our innocence. remember when they had to prove you guilty first. now we live in the red queens world: verdict first, trial second;

Whiskey_warrior_556 is the Instagram name of Afghanistan combat vet, Alex Booth. On Saturday afternoon, a Carmel, NY police officer showed up at his doorstep to discuss what they say was a domestic incident that took place with his wife earlier in the day. He disputed this claim.

According to Alex Booth, a former friend informed law enforcement that Booth had a New York state illegal standard capacity 30-round magazine and that Booth suffered from PTSD from his combat tours in Afghanistan. He said police were at his house serving an extreme risk protection order (Red Flag Law).........https://www.ammoland.com/2019/11/standoff-ends-peacefully-with-instagramer-whiskey_warrior_556/#ixzz66IMz4fZm

kunstler gets it right recently with his coverage of the 'impeach the russians' game afoot in the district of corruption. it reminds me of what we were taught in school in the fifties and sixties about the russian 'news' being written by the russian's in charge and you can see the same thing here now in which half of 'our' government is having the 'news' written the way they want the various 'investigations' to proceed, but, they don't so we have to be reminded, repeatedly, about how we're supposed to believe things are;

“No, you don’t understand. It was the Russians, I tell you, the Russians!” And so, with a holiday recess for Adam Schiff’s impeachment soap opera, and news that DOJ Inspector General Horowitz will unload in early December, the media vassals of the Deep State are giving you their own turkey gristle to chew on: “The Russians did it! Yes, really, they did! Believe us!”

Perhaps The New York Times has hooked up to a direct line of Burisma’s product as they flood the darkened arena with eerie blue gaslight. Friday, they featured a story — Russia Inquiry Review Is Said to Criticize F.B.I. but Rebuff Claims of Biased Acts — geared to make readers think that the entire FBI FISA warrant hair-ball came down to one lowly lawyer chump named Kevin Clinesmith messing with an email. Later, Times reporter Adam Goldman, posted this howler on Twitter..........https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/the-resistance-digs-their-hole-deeper/

this is the 'land of the free' we're told but don't forget that doesn't mean you are allowed to do what you please, as you must find the line and put your toes to it;

A Wisconsin man was founding living in an undetected underground bunk in the Milwaukee woods for years with a dog and a stockpile of weapons and ammunition.

Deputies discovered hermit Geoffrey Goff's odd, hidden abode on Wednesday after responding to a call of shots fired.

After entering the 8-foot-by-8-foot bunker - which was also 20-feet-long - the deputies found an arsenal of weapons including two shotguns, a rifle, a handgun, three knives, ammo and a bow with arrows fashioned from “snowplow stakes,” Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas said at a news conference Friday...........https://www.foxnews.com/us/milwaukee-weapons-stash-hermits-underground-bunker-woods

the 'official' story is that israel is a model democracy as is the empire, america. its all crap and the following will make clear just a modest bit of that lie, because this speaks to some of the lies, clearly;

Before our American friends run away with the idea that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has authority to say that planting Israeli civilian settlements in occupied Palestine “is not, per se, inconsistent with international law”, and that the Trump Administration is only recognising the reality on the ground, they might like to hear the authoritative opinion of John McHugo, International lawyer and Balfour Project trustee:

Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 provides that “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.”

Article 49(6) was considered by the International Court of Justice in its Advisory Opinion on the Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory in 2004. It stated, at para. 120 of the Advisory Opinion, that Article 49(6) “prohibits not only deportations or forced transfers of population…but also any measures taken by an occupying Power in order to organize or encourage transfers of parts of its own population into the occupied territory.”

All judges of the court subscribed to this with the sole exception of Judge Buergenthal, the American judge, who is a Holocaust survivor and who lost toes to frostbite as a child in Auschwitz and Sachsenhausen concentration camps. He took the view that the Court should have declined to exercise its jurisdiction. Yet he issued his own Separate Declaration to the Advisory Opinion in which he expressly stated at Para. 9: “I agree that [Article 49(6)] applies to the Israeli settlements in the West Bank and that their existence violates Article 49, paragraph 6”. The view that Israeli civilian settlements violated Article 49(6) was thus the unanimous view of the judges.........https://www.redressonline.com/2019/11/dangerous-drivel-from-pompeo-confirms-america-is-no-peace-broker/
