Canada to enshrine draconian ‘anti-terrorism laws’ [video]
PressTV
October 21, 2012
The Harper government is set to re-enshrine defunct anti-terrorism laws that were brought into effect as temporary measures in the aftermath of the disputed events of 9/11.
The laws will enable the Canadian state to suspend the civil liberties of those nebulously labeled by police “a terrorist.”

Political Prisoner Leah Lynn Plante Released!
by JG Vibes
Activist Post
October 21, 2012
Last week Leah Lynn Plante was arrested and placed in solitary confinement for remaining silent during a grand jury trial. Due to the secrecy of the proceedings, little information has come to light about her or her two friends, Katherine “Kteeo” Olejnik and Matthew Kyle Duran since the story went viral last week.
However, word was just sent out from Leah’s supporters that she had been released, although unfortunately her two friends still remain behind bars.
At this point it is unclear how this turn of events has transpired, but it is highly possible that the video that Leah made before she went to jail touched so many people that they felt compelled to write and flood the court with calls. When Leah made the viral video last week, her friends were already in jail and since they didn’t appear in the video people who didn’t pay close attention or dig deeper into the story may not have realized that she was one of three people caught up in the same mess.
Today on her Tumblr page supporters made a statement to clear the air, and assure everyone that she has still not cooperated with authorities. The statement read as follows:
First and foremost, do not panic. Leah wanted for us to express these points to you with this news:
- She is extremely traumatized and experienced a lot of very, very bad things, but she is alive. The state of her mental health is also very bad.
- She asks that people do not jump to wild conclusions about her release because they do not apply.
- She spent her whole time in SHU / Administrative Detention (solitary confinement) and was told that that is where she would stay for the duration of her incarceration, up to 18 months. She was classified as “different” from Matt and Kteeo.
- She received probably near 200 pieces of mail, books, postcards in 4 days (mail was not delivered to her every day) and was glad for it, and knows probably a similar amount is being returned to sender right now. She urges people to step up support for Matt and Kteeo on all fronts. Books that didn’t get to her probably go into the prison library, which is still a good thing because from what we heard their selection is limited to romance novels and religious literature.
- More information is going to be released. At this time, Leah needs space from media. She is overwhelmed by all the publicity. Regardless of who you are, if you have her personal information, PLEASE do not call her, email her, or try to locate her in order to question her. Give her space until she asks otherwise.
- She was released the night of 10/17. She did not make it public immediately because she did not want the “media shitstorm” to jump down her throat yet.
- She is very moved by the amount of support and solidarity there has been for her, she expressed concern that Matt and Kteeo were not getting as much publicity. Please write them, support them, send them books.
This most recent situation is probably incredibly difficult for her, and at this point people really do have the ability to help her, first and foremost by respecting her wishes in giving her peace and privacy in this difficult time, and continuing to pressure the court and the jail to release her fellow political prisoners. More on this story as details become available.

Court Ruling May Ban Sale of Used Items, end eBay and Craigslist [video]
The Truther Girls
October 18, 2012
An upcoming October 28 trial could result in a ruling that would effectively prohibit the sale or virtually all items on eBay and Craigslist, and even prohibit the trade in foreign-made used goods at yard sales and thrift shops. What the hell??? Can you say ‘corporate greed overload?’ Everything is made abroad! Now we have to throw our stuff out because it wasn’t made in America? What ever happened to ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ being a priority?
RFID Microchips for Texas Students [video]
The Truther Girls
October 12, 2012
Some schools in Texas are now forcing students to wear badges that contain RFID microchips so they can be tracked at all times. This is supposedly to prevent truancy, which causes the school to lose funding. But is this the only agenda at work, and isn’t there a better solution to the truancy problem?

Oakland County, Michigan Defends U.S. Constitution Against NDAA
P.A.N.D.A. People Against The NDAA
October 19, 2012
It has been said that the key to politics is persistence. In the fight against one of the most draconian laws in history, that persistence has definitely paid off.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) typically funds our national defense, including the military. It has been passed by Congress and signed by the President for 48 years now. While most previous versions have had little to no effect on America’s liberty or freedom, the 2012 NDAA destroys our Bill of Rights.
When the 2012 NDAA was being debated in the U.S. Senate, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said “Shut up! You don’t get a lawyer,” when speaking about those detained under those provisions
Senator Graham’s statement perfectly summarizes the 2012 NDAA, which has been criticized by such a nonpartisan coalition as the Oathkeepers, ACLU, Patriot Coalition, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), and Cracked Magazine, and allows the President to order anyone, including a U.S. citizen, to be secretly arrested, never to see their family again, and be held indefinitely without due process of law (did I mention assassinated?)
Oakland County, Michigan, home to over 1.5 Million people and sitting in the heart of Southeast Michigan, has been described by groups from the Center for Digital Government and the National Association of Counties as one of the best run county governments in the nation. The Oakland County Commissioners proved they have earned that reputation on Thursday.
Two weeks ago, the General Government Committee of the Oakland County Commission held a hearing to consider the resolution in opposition to the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA. After hearing from People against the NDAA (PANDA) National, PANDA Bloomfield, the Michigan Tenth Amendment Center and Michigan Campaign for Liberty, along with individuals such as Anna Janek, Allegan County Commissioner Bill Sage and Congressional Candidate Don Valoric, the committee moved to vote on the resolution
The resolution passed unanimously out of committee with a 9-0 vote.
On Thursday, PANDA returned to the Oakland County Commission to assist local residents in defending the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Dan Johnson and Dennis Marburger from PANDA, Dave Lonier, Mary MacMaster, Anna Janek, and the Michigan Tenth Amendment Center’s Shane Trejo all gave speeches describing the bipartisan coalition fighting this law, the effectiveness of civilian courts in combating terrorism, and urged the commission to nullify it.
The Commission then moved to vote on the consent agenda, which the resolution was a key part of. Commissioners Jim Runestad and Bill Sage, Congressional Candidates Kerry Bentivolio and Don Valoric, State Representative Tom McMillin, and all their supporters held their breath. The silence was deafening as each vote was counted off…
“Commissioner Gingell? ‘Aye’
Matis? ‘Aye’
Runestad? ‘Aye’
Potts? ‘Aye.’”
In a great victory for liberty, the Liberty Preservation Resolution was approved in a unanimous vote of 24-0.
The Resolution’s clear condemnation of any and all attempts by the General Government branch of our Federal system to kidnap or indefinitely detain Americans without charge or proper trial will now be communicated to our state and national office holders. This struggle is still just beginning and there is much work yet to be done. Nonetheless, this local success will be an important building block for constitutional governance.
Oakland County, which has a reputation for top-notch county government, joins Allegan County (which has the same reputation) as the second county in Michigan to take this principled stand. It is no accident that two counties well-known for good governance would be among the first to defend the rights of the people in Michigan.
The stakes have never been higher. We the People must choose between 1776 America and 1934 Germany. If we lose this fight, the Bill of Rights is destroyed, eight of which are eviscerated, and all rights granted by the Creator, for whose protection governments are supposedly formed, will be lost.
We are determined not to lose this fight.
We will take America back, we will restore our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and we will nullify the NDAA in every city, county, and state across America.
In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
“I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because ‘truth crushed to earth will rise again.’”
