Jerkin’ Yer Chain
From this cool article about interrogation techniques and false confessions:
In just three one-hour sessions, Shaw was able to convince 21 of her 30 college-age subjects that they’d committed a crime when they were around 12 years old — assaulted another child with a weapon, for instance — and had a run-in with the police as a result. She supplied details that were recognizable to the subjects — the location where the assault supposedly happened, who the other child was — drawn from information their parents provided in a questionnaire. Shaw tells me she designed her study to mimic the techniques used in some false-confession cases. “I’m essentially marrying poor interrogation tactics with poor therapeutic tactics,” she says. The results were so strong, in fact, that she stopped administering the experiment before she had run through her full sample.

Cops Almost Kill Man
Abusing Amber Alerts
From KSAT.com:
South Texas parents wanted in abduction of their 5 children; AMBER Alert issued
“CPS officials were going to take custody of the children because of the parent’s involvement with drugs, sheriff’s officials said.”
So they abuse the Amber Alert system, which is supposed to only be used to save children who have been abducted by strangers for presumably the most heinous criminal purposes to try to deputize every day Texans to hunt down this family who for all we know is accused of smoking pot or having an expired bottle of prescription pills laying around the house.
Instead the cops and their always-faithful servants in the local media use and abuse and wear the system out by crying “wolf” in this way and making people — such as myself — always suspicious that the government is trying to fool me into acting as their agent against people who I presume to be completely innocent, such as parents accused of “abducting” their own children from what I know to be a corrupt, unaccountable, lawless police state. In this case, I looked twice, and of course I was right. They did it again.
David Ibañez of KSAT, you are a bad person for carrying the government’s water on this case and endangering ****ACTUAL**** kidnapping victims in the future with your reckless toadying for the enemy, the state. You presume them guilty since the government says so, but in fact that makes you guilty, and a fool.
For shame.
RE: Kevin Clinesmith Guilty In Russia Gate Plot
Scott; Note they (the CIA) say “members” of the Crossfire Hurricane team were informed.
Important excerpt from the Kevin Clinesmith Criminal Information:
On 8/17/16, the CIA informed the Crossfire Hurricane team that Carter Page had been a CIA source.
They hid this fact from the FISA Court.
I bet the DOJ will invalidate the first 2 FISAs. pic.twitter.com/4nd3onIL8b

Kevin Clinesmith Guilty in Russiagate Plot
He’s the guy who — ahem — erased the detail that Carter Page was a loyal American patriot and CIA asset from the FBI’s FISA warrant applications.
No word yet if he’s being compelled to testify against his superiors.
How to Create a ‘Black Market’
The State and its lackeys work diligently to prove to us that they only have our “best interests” at heart. They care so much for us that they have constructed laws to protect us from ourselves. Never mind that these laws are so selective (i.e., alcohol is good, marijuana is bad) that even the most hard-hearted statist can see through their charade.
When the State decides that something people desire is “harmful” and needs to be regulated, a black market often develops to provide for the demand. Recent history has shown us that this void is filled by people who are forced to use violence to protect their businesses from not only rival competition, but the “troops” the State puts on the streets to “war” against the “economy” they’ve created.
I recently heard, “if it weren’t for the I.R.S they never would’ve stopped Al Capone.” Well, if it weren’t for Prohibition we never would’ve heard of him!
Prohibition not only creates an underground market but it also leads to issues with quality control. An acquaintance told me recently that a high school friend of his got a hold of some bad “moonshine” and was in the hospital suffering delusions. That’s today, when alcohol is legal. Go read some of the stories from the Twenties, it’s horrifying.
Prohibition by the State has proven to be more dangerous to life and liberty than any Free Market.
