Under the measure, still photography and commercial filming in Congress-designated wilderness areas would require a permit, and shoots would also have to be approved and meet certain criteria like not advertising any product or service and being educational.

Forest Service spokesman Larry Chambers said in a statement the directive has been in place for more than four years and “is a good faith effort to ensure the fullest protection of America’s wild places.”

Permits would cost up to $1,500, even if someone was taking photos or video with their phone, and fines for shooting without a permit could be as high as $1,000, according to the Oregonian.

FK – Another example of govt. Nazis losing their minds. Tell the Nazis what you think.

It’s certainly not going to enable invisibility cloaks like the one Harry Potter wears or the ones used in Star Trek, but Choi and Howell’s device is more than just a variation on the classic magician’s trick (which uses carefully-placed mirrors). It can be scaled up or down to fit any cloaking size (on the condition that you can find lenses of appropriate length and curvature), and that opens it up to some novel applications in real life.

It could help drivers see through blind spots on their vehicles, for example, or perhaps, as Howell suggests, allow a surgeon to “look through his hands to [see without obstruction] what he is actually operating on.”

Just don’t go thinking it’ll keep you hidden in a room while people spill secrets about how your parents were betrayed and killed by an evil magician; we’ll have to keep waiting for that one.

FK – The government is an optical illusion that can kill you.

The Obama Administration is using the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act to disarm veterans who have Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD). This bill, passed during the Clinton Administration, requires gun buyers to pass a background check before purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer or manufacturer.

Obama is now adding the names of wounded warriors to an official FBI/NICS restriction list that is normally reserved for criminals, which makes it impossible for these American heroes to legally purchase a firearm.

FK – Three steps forward, two steps back.

FK – Oh those darn conspiracy theorists. What will they be right about next?

The Second Amendment Foundation has quietly won a significant federal court victory in a Pennsylvania case in which the judge has ruled that a man convicted of a serious misdemeanor crime several years ago, but who has demonstrated that he “would present no more threat to the community” than an average law-abiding citizen, may not lose his Second Amendment rights under a federal gun control statute known as 922(g)(1).

The ruling, by Judge James Knoll Gardner for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, says that application of that statute to the plaintiff, Daniel Binderup, “violates the Second Amendment.”

“This case could provide a building block upon which similar cases in which people are convicted of non-violent misdemeanors might be challenged because they have lost their right to keep and bear arms as a result,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. “Under existing federal law, many people convicted of state-level misdemeanors have lost their Second Amendment rights, essentially because they’ve been lumped together with convicted felons.

FK – Any ‘felon’ who can’t be trusted with weapons of any kind, as easy as weapons are to acquire in any society, can’t be trusted to be let out of prison. Of course the “Liberal”(commie) trash think their obedient black-suited Nazis and bodyguards are the only ones who should be trusted with weapons. Put the “Liberal”(commie) trash and other assorted authoritarian types in prison, where they belong.

Usually it takes the American public a year, or two, three, or four to realize that it has been deceived by lies and propaganda, but by that time the public has swallowed a new set of lies and propaganda and is all concerned about the latest “threat.” The American public seems incapable of understanding that just as the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth, threat was a hoax, so is the sixth threat, and so will be the seventh, eighth, and ninth.

Moreover, none of these American military attacks on other countries has resulted in a better situation, as Vladimir Putin honestly states. Yet, the public and its representatives in Congress support each new military adventure despite the record of deception and failure.

Perhaps if Americans were taught their true history in place of idealistic fairy tales, they would be less gullible and less susceptible to government propaganda. I have recommended Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick’s The Untold History of the US, Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the US, and now I recommend Stephen Kinzer’s The Brothers, the story of the long rule of John Foster and Allen Dulles over the State Department and CIA and their demonization of reformist governments that they often succeeded in overthrowing. Kinzer’s history of the Dulles brothers’ plots to overthrow six governments provides insight into how Washington operates today.

FK – Those are all commie authors so they’re writings have to be taken with a huge grain of salt. But then we’ve long known that war is a racket.

FK – Everything is the government’s business, according to the govt.
