Rogue File-sharers join forces with Unternet Tricksters to battle mammon-worshiping SF religious empire!

As of today they are announcing a new round of “attacks” that will be pirate themed, with pirate support.

In true Pirate style The Pirate Bay has decided to back the operation with a banner linking to Anonymous’ latest campaign “Operation Sea Arrrgh 2″ on their home page. New protests on and offline are will be executed soon, staring this weekend.

“Our next protests are all pirate themed. Our flyers and other material will mostly be about their ship the Freewinds and the many abuses that have taken place on there, and then of course the rest of the scams and atrocities they have committed and continue to perpetrate,” Anonymous told TorrentFreak.

Reason # 1084 Why I Thank God I Don't Live In Texas

The Supreme Court has turned away a challenge from a death row inmate in Texas who claimed his constitutional rights were violated by jurors who consulted a Bible during deliberations.

Jurors reviewed a biblical passage relating that a murderer who used an iron object to kill "shall surely be put to death." They were deciding whether to impose a death sentence on Khristian Oliver for fatally shooting and bludgeoning his victim with the barrel of a gun.

The court previously has said that jurors should base their verdicts only on evidence presented in the courtroom.

"Not Sponsored by Fox"

Fox donates $500,000 in free ads to Tea Bag movement.
But is "not sponsoring" the event.
I wish someone would not sponsor me to the tune of half a mill.
And why exactly is a news organization getting away with overt, biased propaganda events?
Does the FCC and the FTC even do anything for the public good anymore?

"It would be unfair to prosecute dedicated men and women working to protect America for conduct that was sanctioned in advance by the Justice Department,"

- Atty General Eric Holder

So let me get this straight, "I was only following orders" is now a viable defense in the United States?

Somebody fetch me a bucket.

I'm going to puke.
