TSA Interrogates Jewish Author For Reading Conservative Newspaper? Federal goons assume role of political thought police Paul Joseph Watson February 7, 2014 infowars.com Phyllis Chesler (YouTube). Award winning Jewish author Phyllis Chesler was questioned and had her bag searched at New York’s JFK Airport as a result of a TSA agent’s suspicions over the fact that she was reading a conservative newspaper. The incident happened on Wednesday afternoon after Chesler’s flight to Florida was delayed due to the recent ice storms. As soon as Chesler pulled out a copy of The Jewish Press, a popular English language weekly with a conservative political bent, a TSA agent eyed her with suspicion, approached the author and asked to see the newspaper. After the TSA agent scrutinized the cover of the newspaper and showed it to another security official, Chesler was ordered to open her luggage, which the two agents then proceeded to rifle through. During the search, Chesler was interrogated by the two TSA workers. As her luggage was being searched, Chesler noticed that a Muslim woman wearing a niqab that covered her entire face apart from her eyes was allowed through security with no questions asked and with no one even bothering to verify her identity. Image: The Jewish Press Newspaper. Chesler was left alone after the two agents found nothing more deadly than a bottle of water. Despite their best efforts to assume the role of political thought police, the TSA workers discovered that reading a newspaper other than the New York Times or the Washington Post isn’t indicative of being a terrorist. “The issue is not that the Jew was the one who was stopped and the Muslim was the one who sailed through security,” reports the Jewish Press. “The issue is that merely the word Jewish on a newspaper was sufficient to draw the agents’ attention and suspicion, while someone whose identity was impossible to discern, who could be hiding who knows what, was ignored by security – security! professionals.” Is the TSA training its employees to treat people who read certain books or newspapers as potential security threats? The agency has already been derided for targeting people who wear alternative or political t-shirts. As we recently highlighted, the federal agency has also instituted a policy in some airports where loudspeakers warn travelers that they could be arrested if they make jokes about the TSA or its increasingly ludicrous procedures

BILLIONAIRE SOROS VICTIM OF 'KNOCKOUT' PUNCH BY EX-GIRLFRIEND Breitbart ^ \| Feb 8, 2014 \| Robert Wilde In a variation of the nationwide “Knockout Game,” billionaire ultra liberal George Soros’s ex-girlfriend suckerpunched him in the head during a deposition in their palimony law suit. In a vivid display of profanity, Adriana Ferreyr, a South American soap actress, screamed at the Hungarian- born businessman, calling him an “a--hole!” and a “piece of s--t!” For good measure, she knocked the glasses off his California lawyer Martin Singer, berated his other lawyer William Zabel, and then scorched her own high powered attorney William Beslow with more obscene language, according to papers filed Friday by Singer. Unlike typical knockout game assailants, Ms. Ferreyr intends to lift some of the victim’s possessions. Ferreyr is suing Soros for $1.9 million, claiming that he promised to gift her with an Upper East Side condo. Instead, Soros, 83, gave the fashionable condo to Tamiko Bolton, 42, whom he married in September. Earlier, a judge ruled that Ferreyr could press her case against Soros for inflicting emotional distress. During the Tuesday deposition, the spurned lover appeared with a videographer and demanded that the entire deposition be filmed. “I am filming and calling CNN. Everyone!” she exclaimed. According to Singer, at 1 PM, when everyone was breaking for lunch, Ferreyr suddenly and without warning lunged at Mr. Soros and struck his head with her hands, knocking off the headphones he was wearing to amplify the audio in the room. The attorney further explained, "Ms. Ferreyr pulled back her arm to strike Mr. Soros in the face. I was able to grab both of (her) arms to move her away... I let go of her arms. Ms. Ferreyr immediately swung at my face, knocking off my glasses." (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

Ms. Engelbrecht detailed what has happened to her since she became a citizen activist: In nearly two decades of running our small business, my husband and I never dealt with any government agency ~snip~ We had never been audited, we had never been investigated, but all that changed upon submitting applications for the non-profit statuses of True the Vote and King Street Patriots. Since that filing in 2010, my private businesses, my nonprofit organizations, and family have been subjected to more than 15 instances of audit or inquiry by federal agencies. * In 2011, my personal and business tax returns were audited by the Internal Revenue Service, each audit going back for a number of years. * In 2012, my business was subjected to inspection by OSHA, on a select occasion when neither my husband nor I were present, and though the agency wrote that it found nothing serious or significant, it still issued fines in excess of $20,000.
