Santa Fe Discriminates Against Native Americans?

July 31st, 2010

By Wiikwaji’o

All he wanted to do was to take his girlfriend dancing but Santa Fe Casino has a “Your Papers Pleaze” standard that would not allow him in.

Lance Hinton is nearly 50. His age could not have been in question but his identification was. Why? Because it was not “Standard.” Lance Hinton is a member of the Pembina Indian Tribe (as is this reporter). The tribe is a sovereign nation just like the Cherokee or the Paiute, although admittedly a lot smaller.

Located chiefly (ha ha) in North Dakota the tribe has a Chief. The tribe has treaties with the United States dating back to 1778 AD. and another in 1863 signed by President Lincoln. They have a Counsel. They have a traffic code. The even have an Attorney General.

This means they meet the legal standards for an Indian tribe in the USA according to the United States Supreme Court. Nevada even has a law that recognizes Indian Tribal Identification as coming from a “State.” But Santa Fe Casino would not let Lance Hinton into dance because his Identification card is from the Pembina tribe.

The Santa Fe Casino has an identity card scanner that Hitler or the NSA or any Secret Police would be proud of and Lance’s card did not fit into the scanner. Their scanner takes a picture of ALL the information on you ID card or driver’s license. They can KEEP this information on file.

A drivers license has enough of your personal information on it to be used to steal your identity. This identity card recording is DANGEROUS to your safety. Consider this the next time you are deciding what Casino you are going to go to relax a bit.

Citigroup Settles with SEC for $75M for lying to investors

July 31st, 2010

By NICK DIVITO
(CN) - Citigroup will pay $75 million to settle civil charges filed against it Thursday by the Securities Exchange Commission. The SEC accused the banking giant of misleading investors about potential losses stemming from subprime mortgages in 2007. In reaching the deal, the company neither admitted or denied the SEC’s allegations.
The SEC said the company issued misleading statements in telephone calls with analysts and filings about the high-risk mortgages.
Former CFO Gary Crittenden agreed to pay a $100,000 civil penalty. Former head of investor relations, Arthur Tildesley Jr., agreed to pay $80,000.

-I will continue to send a free Attorney Larry Becraft Research CD to any donor who donates at least $20 to me for my radio show effort – just make sure you mention that you want the CD gift. Don’t forget that Attorney Becraft (and some unsung heroes) created an incredible researching tool all in one CD-ROM. He has compiled the most comprehensive, easy to access history of the federal income tax laws I have ever laid my eyes on. The CD-ROM includes more recent information such as a report from a 1975 investigation of the IRS, Title 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations from 1999, the entire Internal Revenue Code from January, 2002, Statutes At Large 111 through 121 (105th Congress through 110th Congress – roughly 1997 through 2007) and e arlier information such as the Revenue Acts of 1919, 1921, 1924, 1926, 1928, 1932, 1934, 1936, 1938, tax regulations from some of the aforementioned years, a mind-blowing 31 page “secret” memorandum written in 1945 later declassified regarding the history of the “Bureau of Internal Revenue” (which is the earlier name of the agency we know today as the “IRS”), the entire 1939 Internal Revenue Code, the entire 1954 Internal Revenue Code (prepared by the Joint Committee on Taxation in 1992). Many of these documents were created in word-searchable format so you can search for any specific word you can think of. It would take hundreds of hours to create such a resource from scratch and Larry’s hard work has saved us from doing so. As Larry told my listeners the last time he was on the show, it is critical for Americans to learn more about what the tax laws actually sa y – what the tax laws said in 1913 when the contemporary income tax came into being and what the tax laws have said ever since then, all the way up to the present day. Donations by check or money order are gratefully accepted and can be made payable to “Joseph Banister” and mailed to me at 1805 N. Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada 89701. Money orders or cash may provide a greater degree of privacy to the donor than checks so use your own discretion based on the degree of privacy you desire.

-My sincere thanks to those who have prayed for the success of our efforts and/or contributed to my legal defense fund. Your continued support is enabling me to illustrate, in detail and in a very public manner, that the IRS does not prevail against citizens because the agency adheres to the rule of law, but that the IRS prevails against citizens because the agency ignores the law, twists the meaning of the law, and overwhelms the citizen with economic and legal burdens. In a school yard, such tactics are called “BULLYING”. In a government setting, such tactics are called “TYRANNY”. This effort is the equivalent of ganging up on the bully and sending him to reform school where he belongs.

II Chronicles 7:14:

And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

George Orwell, 1984:

“You are a slow learner, Winston,” said O’Brien gently.
“How can I help it?” he blubbered. “How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.”
“Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three.

Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”

More Lying Cops Caught When They Arrest Internal Affairs Cop ON Video

July 31st, 2010

Two cops from Brooklyn’s embattled 81st Precinct were charged Friday with making a trumped-up arrest - in a sting operation caught on video.

Like a couple of Keystone Kops, Sgt. Raymond Stukes and Officer Hector Tirado barged in on an Internal Affairs Bureau integrity test actually targeting another cop, sources said.

The undercover IAB officer, carrying a backpack filled with packs of cigarettes, was talking to the intended target when Stukes and Tirado showed up at the corner of Chauncey St. and Howard Ave. in Brownsville on Sept. 3.

Unaware that IAB was videotaping the action, Stukes and Tirado began questioning the undercover cop conducting the sting.

He told them the cigarettes had legitimate tax stamps, but they hauled him into stationhouse and ended up hitting him with bogus charges: that he tried to sell bootleg cigarettes to two people.

Cops claim Cell Phone was a gun to erase video of Cops

Deputy confiscates woman’s cell phone. He feared it had been modified into a gun

BY RANDY LUDLOW
The Columbus Dispatch

Melissa Greenfield was videotaping the deputy.

When a deputy sheriff began questioning Melissa Greenfield’s boyfriend at a Delaware County truck stop, she began recording video with her cell phone.

She never thought that she, or her phone, could be viewed as a danger as she documented the activities of public employees in a public place.

“I’m a 115-pound, 20-year-old girl wearing a cervical collar with nothing but a cell phone. I was not going to harm any officer,” Greenfield said yesterday.

However, a sheriff’s sergeant saw the situation differently after Greenfield announced that she was recording video “for legal purposes and our own safety.”

Sgt. Jonathan Burke wrote that he repeatedly ordered Greenfield to place the “unknown” object in her pocket and keep her hands free. When Greenfield refused, she was arrested and charged with obstructing official business and resisting arrest.

Burke wrote in his report that he feared that Greenfield could have been holding a dangerous object such as a “cell-phone gun.”

However, neither the sheriff’s office nor the Columbus office of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has ever come across one of the black-market devices that apparently are made in Eastern Europe.

Burke ultimately determined that Greenfield’s cell phone was not the exotic stuff of James Bond but a simple T-Mobile device.

In a statement, Delaware County Sheriff Walter L. Davis III said that cell-phone guns are an example of everyday items that have been altered into deceptive weapons that endanger the safety of officers and the public.

“When a sheriff’s deputy encounters an individual holding something in his or her hand, the deputy will take action to identify the item. This is done for the safety of the deputy, the involved parties and the public,” Davis wrote.

After Greenfield got her phone back, she said, the video she took of the deputies at the Flying J truck stop at I-71 and Rt. 37 on July 9 had been deleted, along with a couple of vacation videos.

Madison police officer retires rather than face termination proceedings

July 31st, 2010

By SANDY CULLEN

A 14-year veteran of the Madison Police Department has agreed to retire rather than face termination proceedings after an internal investigation found he violated several policies, including excessive use of force and false reporting.

Officer Carlos Valentin, 49, unlawfully detained a victim/witness, placing the person in handcuffs, according to a summary of the Professional Standards and Internal Affairs investigation.

The summary also states Valentin threatened to arrest the victim/witness without lawful authority and issued a municipal citation to the person under false pretenses. He also included false information in a report and was not truthful during the internal investigation.
