Exclusive: FBI Tries to Flip Open Carry Activist After Arrest at Political Rally
Mikael Thalen | Feds tell military veteran to “be quiet” for a year to avoid charges
February 25, 2015
An open carry activist and military veteran speaking exclusively with Infowars says federal agents told him to “be quiet” for a year or face federal charges after being arrested by Department of Homeland Security agents at a political rally in Spokane, Washington.
The activist, Anthony Bosworth, was participating in the “Our State, Our Rights” rally outside the city’s federal courthouse when members of multiple federal agencies approached and began demanding identification.
While inquiring on the alleged need to provide ID, Bosworth was accused of being in violation of federal gun laws according to a DHS agent on scene.
“It’s against federal law,” the agent claimed. “18 U.S. C 930 says it’s illegal.”
Bosworth, correctly citing the law’s wordage, asserted that the restriction only applied to the inside of federal buildings.
“On federal property,” the DHS agent argued. “You’re on federal property.”
18 U.S. Code 930 in fact never once uses the words “on federal property,” but instead repeatedly refers to the possession of a firearm inside a federally-run building. ~prisonplanet.com/exclusive-fbi-tries-to-flip-open-carry-activist-after-arrest-at-political-rally.html~

VIDEO: Soros, Ford shovel $196 million to ‘net neutrality’ groups, staff to White House
Washington Examiner - Liberal philanthropist George Soros and the Ford Foundation have lavished groups supporting the administration’s “net neutrality” agenda, donating $196 million and landing proponents on the White House staff, according to a new report. And now, as the Federal Communications Commission nears approving a type of government control over the Internet, the groups are poised to declare victory in the years-long fight, according to the report from MRC Business, an arm of the conservative media watchdog, the Media Research Center.

If the FCC’s ‘Net Neutrality’ Plan is So Great, Why Can’t Anyone See It?
Paul Joseph Watson - If the FCC’s plan to “protect” net neutrality and reign in the power of greedy corporations is so fantastic, then why haven’t its 332 pages been released for public consumption? In a vote tomorrow [2/26/15], the Federal Communications Commission is expected to reclassify the Internet as a public utility under Title II of the Telecommunications Act. Despite this mammoth change in the function of the web, no Congressional debate took place, no bills were introduced and no legislation was signed. The vast majority of Americans are unaware that this is even taking place since the news networks are offering scant coverage.

"This would give people an opportunity to really make a strong statement in rebuke of the present dynamic. It would be an honest check on the two-party system," said the first-term senator from Andover who at times has clashed openly with his own party.
