  Roman Troops' Secret 'Terror Weapon'
Posted by: 727Sky - 06-19-2016, 04:29 PM - Forum: World History - No Replies

It was a simpler time in many ways except for the dealing out of death. Weapons were short ranged for the most part and you actually looked your enemy in the eye as a dual of death proceeded.

Quote:Some 1,800 years ago, Roman troops used "whistling" sling bullets as a "terror weapon" against their barbarian foes, according to archaeologists who found the cast lead bullets at a site in Scotland.
Weighing about 1 ounce (30 grams), each of the bullets had been drilled with a 0.2-inch (5 millimeters) hole that the researchers think was designed to give the soaring bullets a sharp buzzing or whistling noise in flight.
The bullets were found recently at Burnswark Hill in southwestern Scotland, where a massive Roman attack against native defenders in a hilltop fort took place in the second century A.D

  Thus the Republic falls to applause: No Fly list and gun control
Posted by: Armonica_Templar - 06-19-2016, 08:49 AM - Forum: Hot Button Issues - Replies (16)

Loretta Lynch Slaps FBI: No-Fly List Can Be Used to Ban Gun Buyers

Quote:Attorney General Loretta Lynch has overruled FBI Director James Comey on a key issue involving guns and terrorist watch lists — a move that two unlikely allies, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the National Rifle Association, oppose.

Lynch says the Obama administration supports banning the sale of firearms to people on terrorist watch lists — a declaration that flies in the face of Comey's belief that denying those sales could hinder investigations of potential terrorists.

The Washington Times reports that in a statement issued Thursday, the Justice Department said it wants Congress to pass the so-called "no-fly, no-buy" plan Democratic lawmakers are pushing.

"The amendment gives the Justice Department an important additional tool to prevent the sale of guns to suspected terrorists by licensed firearms dealers while ensuring protection of the department's operational and investigative sensitivities," Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson said.

But WND.com reports that the ACLU and NRA don't agree.
Special:
"Restrictions like bans on gun purchases by people on 'watch lists' are ineffective, unconstitutional, or both," the NRA said this week.

And in an ACLU position paper titled, "Until the No Fly List Is Fixed, It Shouldn't Be Used to Restrict People's Freedoms," the group's National Security Project Director wrote:

"[T]he standards for inclusion on the No Fly List are unconstitutionally vague, and innocent people are blacklisted without a fair process to correct government error. Our lawsuit seeks a meaningful opportunity for our clients to challenge their placement on the No Fly List because it is so error-prone and the consequences for their lives have been devastating."

Lynch's recommendation comes just days after an Islamic State sympathizer killed 49 people and injured 53 at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Democrats believe the bloodbath may have avoided with a ban on gun sales to people on government watch lists.

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said this week he will meet with the NRA to discuss how to keep guns away from people on those lists — an announcement that took some GOP lawmakers by surprise.

I read this article and had to sit down for a few moments

As I reread it I was shaking my head as the words FOOLS came to my mind

This is the situation as I see it..

It sets a very dangerous precedent in the argument of liberty versus security

The republic's principles are being siezed upon in the name of security

1) a right be restricted on the basis of what equates to a Bill of Attainder

Quote:bill of attainder (also known as an act of attainder or writ of attainder or bill of pains and penalties) is an act of a legislature declaring a person or group of persons guilty of some crime and punishing them, often without a trial. As with attainder resulting from the normal judicial process, the effect of such a bill is to nullify the targeted person'scivil rights, most notably the right to own property (and thus pass it on to heirs), the right to a title of nobility, and, in at least the original usage, the right to life itself. Bills of attainder were passed in England between about 1300 and 1800 and resulted in the executions of a number of notable historical figures.

The use of these bills by Parliament eventually fell into disfavor due to the obvious potential for abuse and the violation of several legal principles, most importantly the separation of powers, the right to due process, and the precept that a law should address a particular form of behavior rather than a specific individual or group. For these reasons, bills of attainder are expressly banned by Article I, section 9, of the United States Constitution (1787) as well as by the constitutions of all 50 US states.

Quote:United States[edit]


Bills of attainder were used through the 18th century in England, and were applied to British colonies as well. Some colonists were inspired to the American Revolution because of anger at the injustice of attainder. Although at least one American state used a bill of attainder to confiscate the property of a British loyalist (called Tories) during the war (New York, in the 1779 case of Parker Wickham),[citation needed] American dissatisfaction with British attainder laws resulted in their being prohibited in the U.S. Constitution ratified in 1789.
Constitutional bans[edit]

[Image: 300px-Constitution_Pg2of4_AC-attainder.jpg]

Excerpt from Article One, Section 9 of the United States Constitution, prohibiting the passing of bills of attainder

The [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution]United States Constitution forbids legislative bills of attainder under Article I, Section 9. The provision forbidding state law bills of attainder, Article I, Section 10, reflects the importance that the framers attached to this issue.

Within the U.S. Constitution, the clauses forbidding attainder laws serve two purposes. First, they reinforced the separation of powers, by forbidding the legislature to perform judicial or executive functions—since the outcome of any such acts of legislature would of necessity take the form of a bill of attainder. Second, they embody the concept of due process, which was partially reinforced by the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution. The text of the Constitution, Article I, Section 9; Clause 3 is "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed".


The constitution of every state also expressly forbids bills of attainder.[citation needed] For example, Wisconsin's constitution Article I, Section 12 reads:

No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, nor any law impairing the obligation of contracts, shall ever be passed, and no conviction shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture of estate.

Contrast this with the Texas version: Article 1 (Titled Bill of Rights) Section 16, entitled Bills of Attainder; Ex Post Facto or Retroactive Laws: Impairing Obligation of Contracts: "No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, retroactive law, or any law impairing the obligation of contracts, shall be made". It is unclear whether a contract that calls for heirs to be deprived of their estate is allowed under this law.

The question then becomes much more deadly when an equal standard is applied to the rest of the constitution

I could always go the classic route and argue that does this mean those on a government list, with no way to get a hearing to argue their way off of it, can also be banned from speaking freely..Or perhaps forced to a specific church

No I have a much deadlier question

Can the people on the no fly list be held as slaves?

It does set the precedent that this writ of attainder by passes constitutional rights.. If someone kidnapped someone on the no fly list, can they legally be sold to another human being..

Note it bypasses local rules and federal court decisions..

As long as you pay taxes on the purchase it appears that this is legal..

13th Amendment

Quote:Text

Quote:Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.[1]

  What will happen if Trump Is Elected?

What will happen if Trump Is Elected?
By: Wayne Allyn Root 
 
Actually, no matter what everyone thinks about Donald Trump, the writer of this article, Wayne Allyn Root is a respected journalist and was a candidate for Vice President with the Libertarian Party in 2008.  Root does have the correct take on the dismal state of the American political system, which is totally corrupt.  It is well worth your time to read this very interesting article. 
 
This is well written and gives Middle Class Americans something (a lot) to think about!  TRUMP! Some people are getting very nervous, including Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, and Jon Corzine, to name just a few... and I know why.  I wrote a book entitled ‘The Murder of the Middle Class’ about the unholy conspiracy between big government, big business and big media.  They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership and it’s in all of their interests to protect one another.  It’s one for all and all for one.  It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich — everyone except the American people.  We get ripped off.  We're the patsies. 
 
But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared.  I've never seen them this outraged, this vicious, this motivated or this coordinated.  Never in all my years in politics have I seen anything like the way the mad dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.  When white supremacist David Dukes ran for governor of Louisiana, even he wasn't treated with this kind of outrage, vitriol and disrespect.  When a known fraud, scam artist, and tax cheat like Al Sharpton ran for president, I never saw anything remotely close to this.  The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened like never before. 
 
Why?  Duke was never going to win.  Sharpton was never going to win.  Ron Paul was never going to win.  Ross Perot was never going to win as a third-party candidate.  Those candidates either didn't have or couldn't spare the billion dollars it takes to win the presidency.  But Donald Trump can self-fund that amount tomorrow and still have another billion left over to pour into the last two-week stretch run before Election Day.  No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business and political elite understand that Trump is no joke.  He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart. 
 
It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy ‘The Donald’.  No, this is a coordinated conspiracy led by President Barack Obama.  Obama himself is making the phone calls and giving the orders; he’s the ultimate intimidator who plays by the rules of Chicago thug politics. 
 
Why is this so important to Obama?  It’s because most of the other politicians are part of the old boys club.  They talk big, but in the end they won't change a thing.  Why?  They are all beholden to big-money donors.  They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations and multinational corporations like Big Pharma or Big Oil.  Or they are owned lock, stock and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary with their Clinton Foundation donations. 
 
These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money.  But there is one man — and only one man who isn't beholden to anyone.  There’s one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teachers union, or the Service Employees' International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign. 
 
Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn't need anyone’s help.  That means he doesn't care what the media says.  He doesn't care what the corporate elites think.  That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests.  That makes Trump a huge threat.  Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.
 
Don't you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama?  Don't you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama?  Don't you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings yet has never tried to defund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens?  Bizarre, right?  It defies logic, right? 
 
Well, first, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed.  Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed.  Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything. 
 
Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that.  The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account.  Trust me: The NSA, the SEC, the IRS and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader.  They know everything. 
 
Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment. 
 
Fourth, why rock the boat?  After defeat or retirement, if you're a good boy, you've got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting.  The big-money interests have the system gamed.  Win or lose, they win. 
 
But Trump doesn't play by any of these rules.  Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media and big business.  All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the presidency.  The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides — but not Trump. Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama’s birth certificate.  He questioned Obama’s college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League University.  
 
Now, he’s doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do.  He’s questioning our relationship with Mexico; questioning why the border is wide open; questioning why no wall has been built across the border; questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes yet are not deported; and questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad. 
 
Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick.  
 
Good question. 
 
[Image: download?mid=2%5f0%5f0%5f1%5f790925%5fAH...=yahoomail]I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website.  By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion. 
 
Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying.  He will ask if Obama himself committed fraud when he said, ‘If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it’. 
 
Trump will investigate Obama’s widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama’s college records. 
 
Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election. 
 
How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election? 
 
Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop this.  They recognize this could get out of control.  If left unchecked telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant. 
 
Trump’s election would be a nightmare.  Obama has committed many crimes.  No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute.  He will not hesitate.  Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama’s records, the game is over.  The gig is up.  The goose is cooked. 
 
Holder could wind up in prison.  Jarrett could wind up in prison.  Obama’s bungler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money. 
 
Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails, or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the Head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi. 
[Image: download?mid=2%5f0%5f0%5f1%5f790925%5fAH...=yahoomail]
The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison. 
 
Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. 
 
The Obama crime family will be prosecuted for crimes against the American people.  And Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. 
 
Trump will investigate.  Trump will prosecute.  Trump will go after everyone involved — just for fun.  That will all happen on Trump’s first day in the White House.  Who knows what Trump will do on Day 2?
 
That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

  Orlando massacre prompts some in LGBT community to come out -- for Trump
Posted by: senona - 06-19-2016, 04:30 AM - Forum: Election 2016 ! - Replies (2)

It is no secret that Trump has always been supportive of the gay community in the past, but now many in the LGBT are supporting Trump.


Quote:The Orlando terror massacre has members of the LGBT community around the nation coming out – for Donald Trump and the Second Amendment.

Some among the reliable Democratic constituency were not persuaded by President Obama’s post-attack call for new gun control measures and renewed warning against painting Islam in a negative light.

Trump’s counter message that Americans – including those in the LGBT community - must protect themselves against the hatred of radical Muslims struck a chord with Stephen Zieman.


“I knew I had to fully support Trump because he called out the threat for what it was -- radical Islamic terrorism,” the 23-year-old from Schaumburg, Ill., told FoxNews.com. “He stood up for the LGBT community and called himself a friend. It's something we all needed and he was there — Hillary was not. She was making excuses for the religion and calling for gun control, which is not what I needed to hear.”


Zieman took to Twitter and announced that he was now voting for Trump. He was greeted by fellow supporters who welcomed him.


[Image: d50b33022cc84cd2b3c40045341866a9.png]



Zieman was not the only LGBT person impressed by Trump’s response to the tragedy and his intensified calls for the country to be tougher on extremism.


Source



Many do not believe Hillary is for the gay community, not when she it talking out the side of her mouth.

Trump on the other hand, is like the majority of the people and call it what it is......radical Islamist terrorism.
A deadly attack on gays due to the extreme views of radical Islam.


Quote:“[Trump] has never come out and attacked the LGBT community,” he continued. “If you want your freedom to come together and to be protected, if you want all those things, he’s the right person to do that because I don’t believe that’s what we’re seeing on the Hillary Clinton side.”




And a tweet from Trump, that many people did not care for


[Image: eae9c10d54274b40942b73ba5424ab97.png]


Quote:The support extends from Trump the candidate to his pro-Second Amendment message, renewing an old argument about whether the answer to gun crimes is fewer firearms in general, or more of them in the hands of law-abiding citizens who can respond to an attack.


Yes, the Obama admin. immediately jumped to gun control, instead of addressing radical Islam as the problem in the Orlando massacre.
Deflecting the problem at hand.


Quote:Then, when Trump said the Orlando attack was the result of Islamic terrorism, Moto became even more excited about his campaign.

“I was very, very pleased with the fact that he finally said that Islamic terrorism is anti-gay, anti-women, anti-Jewish because we need to diagnose the problem in order to fix it and he’s the first one that has actively said that in a public forum like that,” he said. “It’s very refreshing to hear someone who isn’t afraid to say it like it is.”

Online, LGBT people are experiencing another “coming out” in sharing their support for Trump -- the hashtags #GaysForTrump and #ComeOut4Trump are accompanied by selfies and declarations of jumping on the Trump Train.

“Every single Donald Trump supporter, and they come from all political backgrounds, have been loving, supportive and encouraging. They said they will defend me, they will support me and they will stand with me against oppression and terror,” said Zieman of his experience switching his support.



True most Gays vote Democratic.

But this time around, the LGBT community are taking notice of Trump and his outspokenness on radical extremist
While Hillary lacks addressing the issue and often times shifting focus onto something else.

  Translucent Blind Catfish Found In Texas Cave
Posted by: senona - 06-19-2016, 02:40 AM - Forum: Animal House - Replies (2)

[Image: abbbc61ec24d417aa084a17b82863362.png]


Quote: A never before seen species of fish was recently discovered in Texas – and they’re unique in color, size, and the fact that they’re blind.
The endangered eyeless catfish or Mexican blindcat was previously known to exist only south of Texas in Mexico.

After rumored to have been seen one other time, a pair of the fish were discovered in a limestone cave at Amistad National Recreation Area, about 150 miles west of San Antonio.  

The fish were found in May and have been relocated to the San Antonio Zoo.

The Mexican blindcat is unique because it won’t grow larger than three inches long.  The blindcats have a pinkish-white color because their blood can be seen through their translucent skin.

According to Dean Hendrickson, curator of ichthyology at the University of Texas at Austin, the discovery is the first confirmed blindcat sighting in Texas.


Linky



How unique, although that is from living in a cave, adapting to their surroundings.


Quote:"Cave-dwelling animals are fascinating in that they have lost many of the characteristics we are familiar with in surface animals, such as eyes, pigmentation for camouflage, and speed," Sprouse said.
"They have found an ecological niche where none of those things are needed, and in there they have evolved extra-sensory abilities to succeed in total darkness."


The Mexican blindcat was originally described in 1954 when found in wells and springs near Melchor Múzquiz in the northern Mexican state of Coahuila. It was subsequently listed as an endangered species by the Mexican government, and as a foreign endangered species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Hendrickson led efforts to locate additional blindcat sites in Mexico and Texas for years but only located them in Mexico on previous expeditions.

  You Worry Me
Posted by: Sol - 06-19-2016, 01:24 AM - Forum: Hot Button Issues - Replies (13)

This has got to be one of the best pieces I've read in a loooong time.

It's backgrounds are controversial though.

It's said to have been written by American Airlines Pilot Captain John Maniscalco but apparently the original was tempered with.

The original piece was written in 2001, for the Gazette, by a Kevin Daly of Beltsville.

It is still very actual , fifteen years later and it does make a point.

A HUGE ONE.


For those who've never came across this opinion piece...


Article:


An open letter to my Arab-Muslim neighbors:



Quote:You worry me. I wish you didn't.

I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country. But you don't blend anymore. I notice you, and it worries me.

I notice you because I can't help it anymore. People from your homelands, and professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now. I don't fully understand their grievances and hate but I know nothing can justify the inhumanity of their attacks.

On Sept. 11 , 19 Arab-Muslims hijacked four jetliners in my country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death others. They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants and children's mothers.

So I notice you now.

I don't want to be worried. I don't want to be consumed by the same rage and hate and prejudice that has destroyed the soul of these terrorists. But I need your help.

As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to differentiate between you. How do I differentiate between the true Arab-Muslim-Americans and the Arab-Muslims in our communities who are attending our schools, shopping in our stores, enjoying our parks, accepting fresh baked cookies from a thoughtful neighbor, and sending their children out to play with ours while they plot the next attack that will slaughter those very same good neighbors and children?

The answer to my own question is that it is past the time for me to try to determine this. The events of Sept. 11th changed the answer. It is time for every Arab-Muslim in this country to determine it for me.

I want to know, I demand to know, if you love America. Do you pledge allegiance to its flag? Do you pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation, that He will protect and prosper it? Are you thankful for the freedom that only this country affords? A freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots? Are you willing to preserve this freedom with the spilling of your own blood? Do you love America? And if this is your commitment, then I need you to start letting me know about it.

Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media at this time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions you are taking as a community and religion to protect the United States of America. Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the death of the "innocent" (I worry who you regard as "innocent") and condemnation of "unprovoked" attacks (I worry what is "unprovoked" to you). I am not interested in anymore sympathy, I am interested only in action. What will you do for America-- the country-- at this time of crisis, at this time of war?

I want to see Arab-Muslims waiving the flag in the streets. I want to hear you chanting "Allah Bless America." I want to see Arab-Muslim young men enlisting in the military. I want to see a commitment of money and time and emotion to the victims of this butchering and to this nation as a whole.

The FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to talk to regarding the WTC attack. Many of these people live and socialize in Muslim communities. You know them. You know where they are. Deliver them up, now.

But I have seen little even approaching this sort of action.

Instead I have seen an already closed and secretive community close tighter. You have disappeared from the streets. You have posted armed security guards at your facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have screamed for protection from reprisal.

The few Arab-Muslim representatives that have appeared on the media are defensive and equivocating. They seem more concerned with making sure the U.S. prove who is responsible before they act, and protecting their people from any violence directed toward them, here in the U.S. and abroad.

If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and love of all people, then I want chapter and verse from the Koran and statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up.

Because even if the teachings in the Koran are good and pure and true, it matters little if large numbers of current Islamic practitioners interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and adhere to a degenerative form of the religion.

I want to know where every Arab-Muslim in this country stands and I think it is within my right and the right of every true citizen of this country to demand it. A right paid for by the blood of thousands of my brothers and sisters.

I am pleading with you to let me know. I want you here; as my brother, my neighbor, my friend, as a fellow American. But there can be no "gray" areas or ambivalence regarding your allegiance and it is up to you to show me where you stand.

Until then...you worry me.

So far, Andros woke up in class after not feeling good
The trust is learning that it was NOT a dream

He has spent the first half of the day hunting down Jethro's friends and allies



"You little S@#$'s think you can hunt us down.. Trick me and Jack into putting eric into the hospital," Julius knocked the trey of food out of Alexander's hand.. "What is the future Leader of the Free world going to do.. Call his navy buddy.. Well Mr. President of the United states.. Please like white trash like you will ever become something.. The little conspiracy theorist.."

The Stronger and bigger kids surrounded Alex and Helos..

"What was it Diana said.. Thats right, Andros is bragging he is a soldier.. After I beat your A$$ you need to remind him.. The NAvy is full of p#$$ies.. its why I am going to make you say Army strong and then maim you.." Julius laughs, "Then we are going to take your money.. Might visit your mother tonight.."

Surrounded Alexander took a deep breath as he looked down.. something clicked in Alexander's head and he looked up in defiance, "F#$% you Julius!!!"

An older man in an army uniform walked over, "That is after school detention Mr. Macer.. Mr. Smithson.. And pick up the food you dropped.. god you three losers.. Where is Andros?"

Five kids came running into the filling cafateria, "Sargent Heinson... Andros.." Out of breathe holding a broken arm, "Jack.. He got Jack.. He is singing old songs as he attacks we.. We cant stop him!  He has snapped.. He has to be trust.."

The Sargent starts to speak when the sounds of the battle hymn of the republic fills the cafateria..

"...Where the grapes of wrath are stored.. Macer has loosed the faithful lightening of his terrible swift sword.. Freedom's truth is marching.. Marching on..." Drums softly play as The Sargent is wide eyed as the words to the battle hymn of the republic play..

"This is bulls$%^.." Julius goes to reach for alex..

A loud crack fills the air with a window busting as Julius's hand seems to explode..

The Sargent starts to move till he sees a red dot cross his eyes, "God D@#$ !!"

"Their is a red dot on the middle of your forehead," Alexander is wide eyed as he sees the Majority of the kids bow their heads.. 

They all go to one knee and put their wrist up.. Several start begging Alex for mercy, "We are not with Jethro. Please Alex we were just kidding..."

Helos is awed as he sees all the kids on their knee's. "Alex.."

Alex stands over the downed Julius, "You were saying something.." Alexander stands on the remains of Julius's hand, "All of you except the sargent empty your pockets.. I want all your phones, bank cards, rings, necklaces, and anything of value.. NOW!!!!"

Shaking the kids start tossing stuff on the middle of the floor..

One of the trust kids starts to move and then falls as her kneecap is gone.. The red light moves back on the sargent..

"Helos.. I.. I know some of these people are not the same.." Cold Bloodily Alex calmly takes several treys from different kids on their knees, "The ones like you give back their stuff.. The Rest.. Will stand as we eat in peace for the first time in years.."

"You.. You have known for some time, " Helos looks down.. "I.. I.. I did not mean to withhold infor.."

"Helos," Alex smiles.. "We have been in session since this morning.. Starfleet regulation 46- A is in effect.. "

The Sargent growls, "He will not get away with this.."

The kids are shaking in fear as Alexander sees several of the kids get their stuff back.. Helos walks over with a huge pile in his shirt, "S@#$ Alex.." 

Alex's phone rings making him look weirdly..



Hail to the Chief fills the very quiet Lunchroom.. taking out his phone after thirty seconds, "A message for julius it appears.." Alex starts eating.. "You b@#$% boy.. Pass me my F#$%ing milk I am thirsty."

Shaking, one of the kids still in submission moves as he stays out of the red lights line on the sargent. An extra milk is sat in front of Alex..

"Helos.. these pricks have just bought us lunch.. Pick what ever you want.."

Helos takes several treys as their owners all look away.. He then grabs packed lunches piling the treys in front of him..

Alexander reads the message, "It appears Sargent that the Navy wishes to speak with you outside. Said for you to bring Julius and that cu$% with the knee issue outside.. No one else is involved." Alexander takes one sip of the milk.. He then throws it at one of the trust, "I want yours B#$%^!!!"

Shaking the Sargent growls, "I am not.."

"Apparently your daughter is unaccounted for Sargent.. Like Darius, Amelia, and Mrs. Ortiz," alexander smiles as he takes a sip of the milk.. "I came in peace.. All of us could have been friends.. Now.. You have chosen your lot. You have F@#$ed with me for the last time."

  What You Missed While Focused on the Orlando Shootings

It never seems to fail that after a major media event we learn of things that went on in the world that we missed seeing because we were focused on one thing... that "major" event.
I asked the question in a post somewhere when the shooting just made the news, that I wondered what was going on this time that "the elite" wanted to slip by us? 
Well, here are five things that happened:


Quote:
1) A major lawsuit exposing probable electoral fraud in eleven states could effectively alter the landscape of the presidential race.

2) A new study from Washington University in St. Louis exposed widely-praised, genetically-modified Golden Rice has not lived up to the beneficence the industry has promised for over two decades.

3) A study of rape kits dating as far back as 1993 — a telling detail in itself — revealed an epidemic of serial rapists that law enforcement should have known about for decades.

4) During Ramadan this year, Israel cruelly curtailed the flow of water to Palestine — leaving thousands thirsty and scrambling to find sufficient means of hydration.

5) A spate of suicides among bankers following the Libor, interest-rigging scandal had widely been reported in mainstream media as individual, unrelated occurrences. Now, however, corporate media has finally changed its narrative, admitting there might be more to the fact 40 bankers have killed themselves in the wake of the scandal.

Yeah, I'd say a few of those would be something "certain people" wouldn't want to spread too far.  
Too bad!  I'm here to see that it gets splashed all over the internet!  :mediumdevil:

  TREES FOUND ON MARS: Extraordinary image 'shows towering plants on the Red Planet'

Yes that's the Head Lines and I'll post the pictures from the article, but you should know this, NASA admits those images are from Mars but they say those are Dark Streaks in the Sand, Not Trees! You Decide minusculethinking 
[Image: Mars-Trees-671136.jpg] Yes Interesting,,,, Isn't it.

Quote:UFO chasers are claiming an historic discovery in the quest to establish if there really is any life on Mars. 
Alien believers even shockingly claim that NASA is trying to cover up the existence of the "trees" with an elaborate cover story for what they really are.
The image in question is of a vast region of sand dunes at high northern latitudes on Mars.
NASA says the so-called trees are nothing more than dark streaks of sand, formed by sand from the top of the dunes being dislodged and toppling down.
 [Image: Trees-2-541121.jpg]

Quote:For a start, NASA has two ground-based rovers on the surface of the Red Planet, taking extraordinary detailed and close-up pictures.
These images are regularly posted online for the public to view, and so far there have been no pictures of trees sent back by the rovers.
But it's a cover up right? Well according the alien seekers.
But NASA's explanation for these streaks is simply: "In the winter, a layer of carbon dioxide ice covers the dunes, and in the spring as the sun warms the ice it evaporates. This is a very active process, and sand dislodged from the crests of the dunes cascades down, forming dark streaks.
"In the image falling material has kicked up a small cloud of dust. The colour of the ice surrounding adjacent streaks of material suggests that dust has settled on the ice at the bottom after similar events."

But, YouTube researcher Sam Y, who claims to have exposed a NASA cover up in three videos, is convinced they are trees.
He said: "It is so strange they get the picture and try to describe what they see as anything but a living plant.
"All these lines actually exist only in some kind of like hole in the ground you can see a lot of little trees in these area.
"If you look closer there is no way this can be sand flowing - look at the base does it look like sand - look at the structure from the bottom and branches coming from them how can you describe this as falling material.
