Illustrated: How To Detect Infiltrators and Observe Covert Police Misconduct Sophia Magdalena Scholl 2011-04-14 12:30 PM
This article discusses how to detect police spies, in the flesh, in their vehicles and how to observe their tactics, as well as a historical perspective on the use of spies. It is also very critical of community policing groups like Cellular On Patrol and the alumni of the FBI's National Citizens' Academy, who practice harassment tactics against American citizens, sometimes to the point where their victims commit suicide.

So Many of Us Sudhama Ranganathan 2011-04-14 12:12 PM

Americans watch our children go off to war. We watch the dreams of home ownership disintegrate in our hands like wet paper. We watch the gap between the wealthy and ourselves widen and try to keep saying it that way, as by doing so it makes it sound less like we’re getting poorer somehow. We watch our children have less access to quality education – the one thing we know will give them the kinds of futures we might have had. (image/jpeg)

Lawsuit to End Solicitation as a Crime Against Nature Matt Olson 2011-04-07 11:51 PM
On February 15, 2011, a federal lawsuit was filed on behalf of nine anonymous plaintiffs against the Government of Louisiana to challenge the inclusion of solicitation of oral and anal sex as a crime against nature. This 206 year old statute forces those convicted twice of this offense to register as a sex offender for a minimum of 15 years to life. If successful, this lawsuit known as Doe v. Jindal would prevent people who exchange sexual acts for money from being lumped together with convicted rapists and child molesters as sex offenders. 10m:08s; 9.29MB (audio/mpeg)
