“What makes you think you can walk right in here and take over?” asks Linus. “These five fingers,” says Lucy. “Individually they’re nothing, but when I curl them together like this into a single unit, they form a weapon that is terrible to behold.”

Christmas Day Crotch Bomber Tied to Israel, FBI

Those promoting the Crotch Bomber scare are part of the problem.

(TEMPE, Az.) - The Christmas Day "terrorist" is the latest in a series of staged incidents meant to make The Clash of Civilizations appear plausible and "the war on terrorism" rational.

Holding Oregon Cops Accountable Over Criminal Profiling

Criminal profiling is the act of pulling over or stopping an individual without cause, generally based on appearance stereotypes.

(SALEM, Ore.) - A developing story in Oregon involves the dishonesty of police officers, and the judges who make the final call on their actions. When you think about it, the entire system is a conflict of interest because the traffic officers and the judges are on the same team. This creates real problems.

The issues ring back to the 1950's and 1960's when police all over the U.S. were involved in suppressing people over race, gender, economic status, and their physical appearance.
