Political Revolution

WASHINGTON (PNN) - September 28, 2011 - Those who use marijuana legally in accordance with their respective state's laws cannot be sold or possess firearms, according to a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) memo issued on September 21.

The memo to federally licensed gun dealers in the United States, obtained by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, stated that it was illegal under federal law to sell firearms to anyone reasonably suspected of using a controlled substance.

Thousands of angry people took over the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, with a determination reminiscent of the war protests of the 1960s. Chants of “We are watching!” and “We want real change!” could be heard amidst the crowds, along with cries of “Let them go!” - a reference to those innocent Amerikans who have already been arrested by New York’s thug cops, who displayed typical fascist behavior by suppressing media coverage of the protests.

PEEKSKILL, N.Y. - September 27, 2011 - Want to get thrown out of a Peekskill City Council meeting? Start clapping.

After a series of boisterous meetings, Mayor Mary Foster is trying to bring decorum back to the chamber by banning clapping.

“We’ve had to end meetings because the disruptions just became too unruly,” Foster said.

However, critics of the measure spoke with 1010 WINS’ Al Jones and said they felt like they were being treated like kindergarteners.

WASHINGTON - September 23, 2011 - The federal government has doled out more than $600 million in benefit payments to dead people over the past five years, a watchdog report says.

Such payments are meant for retired or disabled federal workers, but sometimes the checks keep going out even after the former employees pass away and the deaths are not reported, according to the report this week from the Office of Personnel Management's inspector general, Patrick McFarland.
