Colorado Man Claims TSA Sexually Assaulted Him
The Intel Hub
By Alex Thomas
April 16th, 2011
A Colorado man has claimed that TSA agents at Denver International Airport sexually assaulted him during one of their invasive pat downs.
This claim comes less than two weeks after TSA thugs were videotaped patting down a six year old girl in New Orleans and an 8 year old boy in Portland.
“On a planned trip to Disneyland, Tyler, an eight year old boy, was searched as a possible terrorist/security threat by power hungry TSA agents. This type of fondling of children would land most people in jail while the TSA simply claims its needed to stop terrorism,” The Intel Hub reported on April 14th.
Geoff Biddulph, a frequent flyer, claims that the pat down he received at DIA was over the top and would be considered sexual harassment anywhere else.
Biddulph has filed a report with Denver police and contacted TSA customer service.
“He received a response from a TSA customer service representative that said, in part, “I regret this incident and the rude behavior you have described is unacceptable. I have forwarded your report to our operations managers. I have asked them to investigate and act as appropriate,” reported Denver Fox 31.
This assault apparently occurred after a TSA agent attempted to force Geoff into a naked body scanner. It is possible that Geoff received the intense pat down due to his refusal to submit to radioactive body scanners.
The TSA, an agency that has never caught a terrorist, has instead harassed pregnant women, children, the disabled, attractive women and just about anyone who refuses a naked body scan. To top it off CNN recently reported that the TSA now considers those who voice complaints over security as possible terrorists!
If the American people do not take a stand against these tyrannical acts of madness we will soon find ourselves knee deep in a complete, full fledged police state.

Sugar Is Going to Give You Cancer and a Heart Attack
Max Read
Sugar Is Going to Give You Cancer and a Heart Attack As you know, everything you eat is bad for you, unless you are eating leafy green vegetables. But, we learn this weekend from The New York Times Magazine's Gary Taubes, sugar is extra-bad for you. Like, cigarettes-level bad for you.
Not just high-fructose corn syrup, either: All refined sugar, many doctors are beginning to think, is equally bad. "Toxic," even. It's not a universally-accepted argument, but the idea (as put forward by Dr. Robert Lustig in the video above) is that sugar is uniquely bad for the body, increasing levels of liver fat more quickly than any other substance and causing a condition called "insulin resistance" that Tabues calls "the fundamental problem in obesity." Moreover, insulin resistance is linked to cancer, insofar as the result of the condition—increased production of insulin—"actually promotes tumor growth."
So! Sugar is (maybe) going to give you diabetes, and cancer, and then a heart attack. And the thing is, Americans consume more sugar, both in refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup, than they ever have before—upwards of 90 pounds per person per year. (Gross.) And probably we will never stop, because sugar tastes great and makes certain people very rich. But if you think you can stop drinking all those Fantas, maybe you should. Just in case!
Sugar: The Bitter Truth
Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin.

Teenager Stabs Self to Death at Open Mic Night

—
On Thursday night, 19-year-old Kipp Rusty Walker played the keyboard for a small crowd at a cafe open-mic night in Bend, Ore. Then he stood up, produced a small blade, and stabbed himself in the chest until he collapsed, dead. Walker didn't say anything before he committed suicide; the cafe's owner (who wasn't present) says that her employees thought at first it was "some sort of theater." KTVZ spoke with a friend of Walker, who sound less surprised:
"It was almost like he wanted to prove a point, like there's no point in being scared of death because it's going to happen to us anyway," the friend said...
He said the first time Walker threatened to kill himself was on Mar. 20th. The friend called Walker's parents, and Walker was taken to the psychiatric unit at St. Charles Medical Center-Bend, where he spent a few days, according to his friend.
Walker's friend said he warned him about the consequences of what he planned to do.
"I actually told him, I was like, 'Dude, this is going to mess a lot of people up,'" the friend said
The Bend fire department and the cafe are jointly setting up classes to "help people deal with the stress from this traumatic incident."

Madonna Leaves Mystical Jewish Sect for Scary Catholic Sect
Madonna Leaves Mystical Jewish Sect for Scary Catholic Sect
Richard Lawson
—
Ancient pop singer and spiritualist Madonna has long been associated with Kabbalah, a mystical, Jewishy sect. But she recently had a falling out with Kabbalah's leaders after the whole Malawi school debacle, so she's been on the hunt for something new. And it looks like she's found it: Opus Dei!
Yes, Opus Dei, as in the strict Catholic cult-like organization that employs albino assassins in that non-fiction art history and theology book The Da Vinci Code. Apparently last week Madge spent some time at a real-life Opus Dei center in London, meeting with various priests and whatnot. While Opus Dei (Work of God) ostensibly exists for positive reasons — to enrich Catholics' everyday lives by strengthening their "relationships" with their god — it's still a strange choice for the reasonably liberal and one time free-wheeling (turned exercise- and diet-mad) celebrity, as the deeply conservative organization has been criticized in the past for allegedly encouraging corporal mortification (self-flagellation) and being strictly controlling of its members lives.
My guess is that Madonna found out that some professor is nosing around in old churches, trying to figure out mysteries about Jesus and whatnot, and she wants to stop it. I mean, what if this professor finds out that she actually is Jesus's mother? All heaven would break loose. He must be stopped, and Opus Dei are the only ones who can help. [Mirror, photo via Getty]
11-year-old Tasered by RCMP - B.C Canada
"Shock waves have reverberated through the aboriginal community," said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs.

The BC Civil Liberties Association is renewing calls for civilian police oversight after Mounties used a stun gun to subdue an 11-year-old boy in Prince George.
The officers were responding to a 911 call reporting a stabbing at around 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Police say the boy is a suspect in the crime.
The RCMP says West Vancouver police are investigating the officers' conduct, but have released few other details--including whether the youngster was carrying a weapon when he was Tasered.
BCCLA executive director David Eby says he finds the lack of hard facts troubling.
"When they skip information, like 'Was the 11-year-old armed?' to us that's a red flag," he said. "That suggests quite possibly the 11-year-old wasn't armed."
Calls to the Prince George RCMP on Saturday were not returned.
we don't know all of the circumstances yet...but they didn't say the boy was armed..

Tasering of B.C. boy 'outrageous'
By ERICA BULMAN, QMI Agency
VANCOUVER - Calling the stunning of an 11-year-old aboriginal boy with a Taser "outrageous", a prominent B.C. First Nations leader is calling for a public inquiry.
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs,
also said he doubts the West Vancouver police will be thorough and unbiased in their investigation of the Mounties who stunned the youth.
"We can't begin to fathom what circumstances would motivate trained RCMP officers to Taser a child," Phillip said Tuesday. "To take that type of force against a child was unconscionable."
The boy, who was believed to be living at a group home, was accused of
stabbing a 37-year-old man in Prince George, about 800 km north of
Vancouver. The stabbing victim has since been released from hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The boy, also taken to hospital, remains in government care.
The stunning has raised questions about the police use of force and whether they should have used a Taser on the child.
Now, the aboriginal chief is also demanding answers.
"We're hoping and requesting that the (B.C.) representative for children and youth conduct a separate investigation," he said. "I'm not convinced that police agencies have the ability to investigate one another.
"There's a relationship and a sense of camaraderie between policing agencies that doesn't allow them to be as thorough and as they need to be."
Thomas Braidwood, the former head of B.C.'s inquiry into Robert Dziekanski's death after being stunned with a Taser by police, was disappointed the government has yet to establish the independent body he had recommended to inquire into cases involving the police.
"I am guessing that was delayed by the election of the new premier," he told QMI Agency on Tuesday. "It's not what I would have hoped."
The police department in Vancouver that¹s been assigned to investigate the stunning revealed this week the Mountie who used the Taser has been on the job 18 months. He's been placed on administrative duty.
Phillip questioned whether the officer would have acted with such force had the child not been aboriginal.
"The constable probably would have thought twice about doing it if it were a non-Native child," he said.
Braidwood told QMI Agency he felt stunning a child could only be justified if there were "imminent grievous bodily harm of police, bystanders or the child."
Even then, he could only think of one instance where it might be warranted.
"If he had a revolver. Apart from that, I couldn't begin to guess," Braidwood said.
Newly appointed B.C. Minister for Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation
Mary Polak called the situation a "concern" but said at this stage there was scant evidence or information so the public shouldn't speculate.
"It's obviously something that tugs at our heart strings for sure but we
don't know the circumstances. We'll await the results of that
investigation," she said.
Pure Evil it's not just about raping children
Click: Write Hague Criminal Court Prosecutor re Crimes Against Humanity by Pope Address in April 7 post.
It's not just about raping children, as if that were not enough. With the Catholic Church coverup of sex crimes of its priests, it's about Pure Evil, about hiring corporate lawyers to finagle manipulations so you can get away with breaking the law, any law can be broken if you have enough lawyers. It's about taking the Word of God and twisting it to keep yourself in so much power that even though everyone from the Supreme Court and the President of the United States, to one little old 62 year old lady, can see how evil and illegal everything is that they do, yet, they continue to be in positions of power and influence.
Pure Evil, and when you get too close to it, it gets under your skin and attacks you through your subconscious at night while you sleep, re-entering your mind as dreams, nightmares that wake you up way before sunlight in a cold sweat, like I've had past few nights.
Pure Evil and it will take me a few weeks to recover from this interaction.
But I will overcome.

Conflict Of Interests: 'Gay' Prop 8 judge called 'direct beneficiary' of ruling
'Gay' Prop 8 judge called
'direct beneficiary' of ruling
His long-term homosexual relationship
a clear conflict of interest, say lawyers
By Bob Unruh
© 2011 WorldNetDaily
With the stunning revelation by the recently retired federal judge who overturned California's Proposition 8 and thereby legalized same-sex marriage that he himself is involved in a long-time homosexual relationship, prominent legal analysts are now saying Vaughn Walker's controversial decision should be vacated immediately as the judge was clearly a "direct beneficiary" of his own ruling.
Proposition 8, widely approved by California voters, was a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
Although it was reported in some California newspapers during the trial that Walker is homosexual, in an interview with Reuters only days ago he revealed additional details about his personal life.
"Walker had never previously discussed his sexual orientation in the press, but on Wednesday said he was in a 10-year relationship with a physician," the reporter wrote.
That alarmed legal analysts.
"He is either a direct beneficiary of his ruling in the case, or a person with a close-enough personal interest in the case that his impartiality might reasonably have been questioned," wrote John C. Eastman, the Henry Salvatori Professor of Law & Community Service and a former dean at Chapman University School of Law.
"Not his sexual orientation, which alone would not require recusal, but the possibility that he could directly benefit from his ruling, raised the prospect that recusal may have been warranted," he wrote in a San Francisco newspaper blog. "If the relationship was such that it gave Walker a financial or other interest in the outcome of the proceeding – and the ability to marry would certainly qualify – recusal would be mandatory and non-waivable."
Likewise concerned was Matt J. Barber, vice president of Liberty Counsel Action and associate dean at Liberty University School of Law.
"Back in February of 2010 after it became rumored that Judge Vaughn Walker is a practitioner of the homosexual lifestyle and that he has a long-term male lover, I was one of the few people to call for his recusal," he told WND. "With Judge Walker's recent admission that he does in fact practice homosexuality, I've been proven right. His ruling on the Prop 8 case should be immediately vacated …"
Barber explained that federal law is very clear in that the code of judicial conduct demands a judge remove himself if "the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned" or when he "has a financial … or any other interest that could be affected substantially by the outcome of the proceeding."
"By manufacturing from thin air a constitutional 'right' to same-sex 'marriage,' Judge Walker used his position on the bench to create for himself a new privilege that he previously did not have. It's undeniable that he had an 'interest that could be affected substantially by the outcome of the proceeding,'" Barber said.
"Based on his own bizarre and contrived legal findings in the case, Judge Walker has now made it possible for both he and his male sexual partner to 'marry.' This is an objective rather than a subjective analysis. Case closed," he said.
Walker's September 2010 ruling overruled more than seven million voters to banish Proposition 8, which had been approved during the 2008 election.
Walker's 136-page ruling said, "Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples."
In his ruling, Walker also arrived at the following highly controversial legal findings:
- "Religious beliefs that gay and lesbian relationships are sinful or inferior to heterosexual relationships harm gays and lesbians."
- "Rather, the exclusion exists as an artifact of a time when the genders were seen as having distinct roles in society and in marriage. That time has passed."
- "The gender of a child's parent is not a factor in a child's adjustment."
- "The evidence shows beyond any doubt that parents' genders are irrelevant to children’s developmental outcomes."
- "Gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage; marriage under law is a union of equals."
- "Many of the purported interests identified by proponents are nothing more than a fear or unarticulated dislike of same-sex couples."
His decision essentially ignored a warning from California Supreme Court Justice Marvin Baxter, who dissented when his court created same-sex "marriage" in the state.
Baxter wrote, "The bans on incestuous and polygamous marriages are ancient and deeprooted, and, as the majority suggests, they are supported by strong considerations of social policy. Our society abhors such relationships, and the notion that our laws could not forever prohibit them seems preposterous. Yet here, the majority overturns, in abrupt fashion, an initiative statute confirming the equally deeprooted assumption that marriage is a union of partners of the opposite sex. The majority does so by relying on its own assessment of contemporary community values, and by inserting in our Constitution an expanded definition of the right to marry that contravenes express statutory law.
"Who can say that, in 10, 15 or 20 years, an activist court might not rely on the majority's analysis to conclude, on the basis of a perceived evolution in community values, that the laws prohibiting polygamous and incestuous marriages were no longer constitutionally justified?" Baxter wrote.
Eastman noted that he was attacked by homosexual activists when he raised the questions about Walker's homosexuality and his benefits from his own ruling when the case was developing.
"What had been the biggest open secret in San Francisco back when the trial was going on was now confirmed. Not to the parties in a timely way, as required by federal law, but in a statement by Walker himself to reporters eight months after his decision, 10 months after the final hearing in the case, and more than a year after he conducted the trial," Eastman wrote.
Insisting that the former judge's "admission requires that his decision in the case be vacated," Eastman added: "Gov. Jerry Brown and state Attorney General Kamala Harris (successors in the case to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Brown, respectively) should file the motion post haste. If they remain derelict in their duty to the more than 7 million people of California who voted to adopt Proposition 8, as Brown was last fall when he refused to file a notice of appeal, then the proponents of the initiative, who intervened in the trial court to defend the initiative, should file the motion themselves."
The Reuters report also explained Walker "never considered" his own homosexuality as a reason to recuse.
"No reasonable person can deny that Judge Walker had a 'personal bias' as his decision directly affected him on a very personal level," Barber said. "At the very least, it's inarguable that as a 'closeted' homosexual, Judge Walker's involvement in the case created a situation where 'his impartiality might reasonably be questioned' should the truth about his sexual attractions and behaviors come to light.
"An honorable man – an honorable judge – should recuse himself from any case even if there is the remote appearance of a conflict. In Judge Walker's case, the conflict proved to be absolute. His was the textbook example of a conflict of interest requiring recusal. It's now the textbook example of judicial activism. This outrageous decision must be vacated."
Meanwhile, another controversy has arisen because Walker, now in private practice, has been using video from the Prop 8 trial arguments in his speeches and presentations, even though the U.S. Supreme Court specifically rejected his plans to have them televised.
