http://newsjunkiepost.com

The endless war: the “war on terror” without any geographic boundaries, time frame or even the necessity to have a well defined enemy.

This war machine and its political associates always needs new conflicts.

How the Common People are Duped by the Republi-crats

http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com

It is extraordinary that millions of americans actually believe fervently that it matters whether Romney freak or Obama freak gets elected. Nothing is going to change because of the ballot box. So which do you want? The Re-pubic-can panderer to corporate interests and whose foreign policy is war, or the Demon-crat panderer to corporate interests and whose foreign policy is war? As Gerald Celente wrote in the July issue of the Trends Journal, americans “argue among themselves why their freak is better than the other freak. They will get angry with you if you call their freak a freak.

US regulator: Bitcoin exchanges must comply with money-laundering laws

http://arstechnica.com

The federal agency charged with enforcing the nation's laws against money laundering has issued new guidelines suggesting that several parties in the Bitcoin economy qualify as Money Services Businesses under US law. MSBs must register with the federal government, collect information about their customers, and take steps to combat money laundering by their customers. The new guidelines do not mention Bitcoin by name, but there's little doubt which "de-centralized virtual currency" the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) had in mind when it drafted the new guidelines.

Percy Downe, who has been leading the fight in Parliament on tax evasion. "It's a tremendous revenue loss to the country." He wants the government to boost the CRA's funding for fighting tax evasion.

http://dailycaller.com

Louisiana state health inspectors destroyed 1,600 lbs of deer meat donated by hunters to a local homeless shelter. The agency received a complaint that deer meat was being served at a mission. State regulations bar food establishments from serving hunted deer meat. Late January, the department discovered the deer meat — which had been appropriately processed at an area slaughterhouse — and destroyed it in a dumpster by dousing it in bleach. The Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission had been serving deer meat donated by area hunters for decades.
