US Army Censors Snowden Leaks (VIDEO)
Edward Snowden's leaks about the NSA have been available for Americans to see on the internet over the last few weeks.
But, some Americans don't have access to news stories about those leaks. Namely, soldiers in the United States Army.
On Thursday, the US Army confirmed that stories regarding the NSA leaks have been censored from their computer system.
So what does it say that the fighting force entrusted with defending Americans ideals is embracing the very un-Americans ideal of censorship?
Political Commentator Sam Sacks breaks it down.

Car Hacking Assassins (VIDEO)
George Orwell once said that "in a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
Today activists, journalists and whistleblowers who are known for exposing corruption within our governments are finding themselves in the crosshairs of the information war.
Many of the technologies at our disposal act as a double edged sword and can be used both to inform, empower and advance humanity but can also be used to control, enslave and even kill off those who pose a threat to the Orwellian system.

Police taser 11-year-old autistic girl found wandering naked along highway (VIDEO)
The TV reporters keep on calling this 11-year-old girl tasered by police a "young woman" - subconscious defense of cop? (VIDEO)
ASHLAND, OR -- Drivers witnessed a young child wandering naked along the side of the highway. One driver, Adam Bednar, stopped his car and called police to help. That decision ended up being a painful one for the 11-year-old girl, who suffers from autism.
Bednar says that the trooper who arrived called for her to stop, and when she didn't respond threatened twice to taze her. After giving no response, two little red dots appeared on her back, then metal barbs. The child did not respond because of her learning disabilities.
"She seized up and she fell face first on the ground," said Bednar.
The department backed up the officers' actions by claiming the girl was going into traffic. But Adam Bednar, the eyewitness, says that is a lie. "She wasn't going off the road, she was set on walking down the freeway," he stated.
The girl's father contacted Infowars to clarify some of the misleading reports being issued by the media. "They keep calling her a 'woman' ...she is 11 years old. Since when is an 11-year-old kid with the mind of a 3-year-old a 'woman'? She is very gentle and non combative. If the police cannot apprehend a child who is cooperative without Tasing then what would be the alternative? Shooting her?"
A compassionate person would have walked up to her and wrapped a blanket around her. A psychopath electrifies the helpless child with a taser.

IRS credit cards used to buy booze and porn (VIDEO)
A new report from the US Treasury Inspector General found that IRS employees used the agency's credit cards to purchase wine, pornography and diet pills.
From 2010 to 2011, employees made more than 273,000 purchases with these cards and Margaret Howell breaks down what's behind these odd purchases.
Genetically Modified Cabbage Special Ingredient, "Scorpion Poison" (VIDEO)
Get ready for genetically engineered cabbages that come complete with their own scorpion poison, just for you to eat. It's touted as requiring less pesticide use and being, of course, completely safe.
Close investigation, though, indicates that neither claim is likely true.
A pesticide made with scorpion poison genetically engineered into a virus was first tested back in 1994.
Interestingly, the scientists who sprayed the test field wore full body suits to protect them from this "harmless" poison.
One must wonder at just how safe it could be when the developers themselves don't trust it more than that!
Of course, the head of the trial, Professor David Bishop, insisted that the trial was safe—though he himself opted to take a vacation, rather than be there for it.
Google Targeting Patriots on YouTube (VIDEO)
An entrant into Infowars.com's Operation Paul Revere film contest had their YouTube channel terminated "due to a legal complaint" filed by an unknown party and has experienced strange phone harassment, the contest participant told Infowars.com by e-mail yesterday.
"After I sent [Infowars] e-mails last night... my gmail was frozen now today, my Youtube account was suspended due to legal complaint and 2 of my Gmail accounts are gone," Telly Blackwood, a producer from Off the Hook TV, wrote to us.
The overtly drastic measures taken by Internet juggernaut Google may have been due, in part, to Off the Hook TV's contest entry, "George Washington's Revenge," a video which apparently angered someone with high-level communications connections.
The film is set in the colonial era and depicts the nation's first president sending an agent into the future to retrieve a few of today's most notoriously villainous constitutional traitors, CNN host Piers Morgan and liberal establishment mouthpiece Michael Moore. "They soon realize the Constitution is not a joke for they are facing a Revolutionary water-boarding experience they will never forget," the video's YouTube description stated.
After the entry went viral and received national attention from such media outlets as the Sacramento Bee, it was removed. Alex Jones suspects the primary motivator behind this is film maker Michael Moore.

Friends and Family of Michael Hastings Want Independent Investigation (VIDEO)
The wife of Rolling Stone journalist Michael Hastings, who was killed in what many people believe was a suspicious car crash last week, has vowed to "take down whoever did this," according to the man who released an email in which Hastings told friends he was being harassed by the government.
Staff Sergeant Joseph Biggs, who yesterday told Fox News that Hastings was working on "the biggest story yet" about the CIA before his untimely death, was responsible for releasing an email Hastings wrote 15 hours before his car crash in which the journalist stated he was "onto a big story" and needed "to go off the rada[r] for a bit."
Biggs tweeted that the reason he released the email was because Hastings' other friends and colleagues who received it were "too scared" to do so.
After the email was released, Hastings' wife Elise Jordan thanked Biggs and vowed to "take down whoever did this," according to Biggs.
Biggs, who met Hastings when he was an embedded journalist in Afghanistan in 2008, added, "I won't let a man die in vein [sic] because I'm too scared of what will happen to me. If I sent that email to Mike he wouldn't rest, he would fight."
In his interview with Fox News yesterday, Biggs also said that Hastings "drove like a grandma" and that it was totally out of character for him to be speeding in the early hours of the morning.

Mandela Is Dead (VIDEO)
Long live the King.
It seems like yesterday when I heard Tata was out of prison. Mixed emotions went through my mind! what does this mean for us South Africans & all Africans. Joy filled my heart and i actually cried at the thought of him been jailed for all those years just for me and my nation to be freed from slavery. I salute you Tata, not many people would have done it..............you are a Hero to me and for all peoples.
To the world in general and most south africans in particular, you were not only a beacon of hope for what human kind can achieve and be, but you are a symbol of the potential human beings have. Words alone cannot begin to express the profound and deep-seated pride and emotions we have when we think of you, for you and your generation are an embodiment of what the South Africa was meant to be. Your image and memory will remain etched on our conscious for time immemorial.
For most good men it is hard enough to be a father to one child, but to father a nation is a kind of miracle that only comes from (and grows with) wisdom, love and the heart of hero. Madiba, you changed our lives in ways you will never know. I am proud of my beliefs and strong enough to stand up for them because you showed me that being afraid doesn't matter but doing the right thing, standing up to be counted is what matters. And if you have a voice it's your duty to speak up for yourself and those who cannot.
