» TSA Worker ‘Smacked Me In My Testicles’ For Refusing Body Scan Alex Jones’ Infowars: There’s a war on for your mind!

 

Federal screeners now crushing genitals as form of punishment

Illustrating once again how the TSA is handing out arbitrary punishments for people who exercise their right to opt out of radiation-firing body scanners, frequent flier Steven deForest described how he had his testicles “smacked” by a TSA screener for refusing to go through the scanner.

While traveling through Las Vegas, deForest chose to opt out of a naked body scanner and was told to wait in a glass holding box.

“A bulky young TSA agent came over to pat me down,” deForest told author Christopher Elliott. “He told me to turn around. He was using his command voice, barking orders. I told him that I wasn’t comfortable turning away from my luggage, which had already been screened, and wanted to keep it in my sight.”

The agent issued more orders — “Stay there, I didn’t tell you to move!” and “Empty your pockets!” — and deForest says the federal screener seemed irritated that he didn’t obey him without hesitation.

And that’s when deForest says he was punished. The agent knelt in front of him to conduct a pat-down.

“As he raised his hands he was looking at me,” he says. “Then he gave a quick flick and smacked me in one of my testicles.”

“I can’t over-emphasize the feeling of humiliation, rage, and frustration,” said deForest. “I believe I have a better idea of what a woman feels when she is groped, or worse. I was deliberately assaulted by someone who knew that he could get away with it.”

It seems as though Americans have a choice of punishment when they opt out of the body scanner – either have their genitals squeezed or allow TSA agents to steal their valuables and money.

The TSA had admitted that it punished travelers who opt out of the body scanner with more invasive pat downs.Last week we reported on TSA screener John W. Irwin, who pleaded guilty to one count of grand larceny after he stole $520 dollars from a man as a punishment for the man complaining about his invasive pat down.

As Consumer Traveler’s Charlie Leocha reported, “When meeting with privacy officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and TSA…. I was told unofficially that there were two standards of pat-downs. One for the normal situation where passengers are going through metal detectors and a different pat-down for those who refuse to go through the whole-body scanners.”

“With this latest announcement, TSA admits that it has been clandestinely punishing passengers for refusing to go through the invasive whole-body scans with an even more intrusive aggressive pat-down and that soon those more invasive pat-down will creep from airport to airport,” adds Leocha.

During the height of the national op-out day backlash against the TSA in 2010, the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg was told directly by a TSA agent that pat downs were made increasingly invasive not for any genuine security reason, but to make the experience so uncomfortable for the traveler that they would be forced to use the body scanner.

Even being seen to display a “bad attitude” in not instantly complying with the TSA’s obedience training can lead to trouble.

As we reported last month, a TSA screener admitted to a woman traveling through Houston Airport that she was prevented from boarding her flight for retaliatory reasons as punishment for a bad attitude rather than any genuine security threat, after the woman refused to allow TSA agents to test her drink for explosives.

Journalists who have been critical of the TSA have also been targeted for reprisals. CNN reporter Drew Griffin was also put on a TSA watch list immediately after he filed reports critical of the organization back in 2008.

The fact that TSA screeners now fondle and in some cases squeeze people’s genitalia is not only a form of punishment, but also a fairly routine part of the pat down process.

Hundreds of letters of complaint about the TSA’s invasive security procedures which were released last month under the Freedom of Information Act include numerous horror stories about TSA screeners directly touching people’s genitals during pat downs.

Back in May, Fox News host Geraldo Rivera described how he was “manually raped” by a TSA agent who touched his “junk”.

In November 2010, we reported the story of how radio host Owen JJ Stone was told by a TSA screener that his pat down would include the screener putting his hands down Stone’s pants. The TSA worker directly patted down his testicles, penis and backside while his hand was inside Stone’s pants.

Also in November 2010, blogger Erin Chase went public to reveal how she literally had her vagina groped by a TSA screener, who touched both her labia as well as her buttocks and breasts during a pat down.

Former Miss USA Susie Castillo also revealed how a TSA worker touched her vagina during a pat down at Dallas-Fort Worth airport in April 2011 after she refused to go through a body scanner.

Back in April, Republican Congressman Francisco Canseco complained about how a TSA worker grabbed his private parts.

“As he was moving up my leg, he moved his hand aggressively up to my crotch and he hurt me,” Canseco said. “The natural reaction is when someone goes for your crotch and it hurts, you’re going to pull back — and my right arm came down and moved away his hand briskly.”

When Canseco moved away the screener’s hand, the screener characterized the action as an “assault”.

Rape counselors have warned that women who have been sexually assaulted face treatment metered out by TSA screeners that can be “extremely re-traumatizing to someone who has already experienced an invasion of their privacy and their body.” An estimated one in six women in the United States have been the victim of an attempted or completed rape.

Radical Sincerity: Cheryl Strayed at TEDxConcordiaUPortland – YouTube

The writing of award-winning author Cheryl Strayed has been described as courageous, gritty, elegant, precise, smart, funny, and sublime. She’s a writer of both fiction and non-fiction, having written the critically acclaimed novel Torch, as well as articles for The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post Magazine, Allure, Self, and many others. Most recently, however, she’s been in the spotlight for her upcoming memoir, Wild, which is about her 1,100 mile solo journey along the Pacific Crest Trail. She walked the trail seeking forgiveness and hoping to find her “innocent self” again, yet what began as an “idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise,” became something much greater. Through this journey, she found transcendence, hope, and healing. She confronted the wild and she confronted herself, ultimately finding the extraordinary in those things that we so often take for granted. Cheryl currently lives in Portland, Oregon where even indoors she continues to find meaning. Like her mother before her, she seems to “bring magic into every day.” For instance, when we asked her what she believes is the most extraordinary place in the world, she had this to say: “My bed at six-thirty in the morning, after my two children have crammed themselves in beside me and my husband and our cat, Gulla. Because real, live, wild love is there. And what’s more extraordinary than that?” Wild comes out in March 2012, and beyond that Cheryl plans to continue growing as an artist. Her hope is that her next book “always reaches further, dives deeper, and risks bolder than the one that came before it.”

ReasonTV: Freedomain Radio’s Stefan Molyneux: The Inevitable Growth of the State – YouTube

“Even if we did achieve what we wanted with a very small state, we’d just be resetting the clock back to 1776 and it would roll forward exactly the same way again,” says FreeDomain Radio’s Stefan Molyneux.


Reason magazine’s Matt Welch sat down with Molyneux at FreedomFest 2012 and discussed why he thinks the libertarian ideal of a small state will inevitably grow, and why the absence of any form of the state is the only answer.

“If you look at America, which was the experiment of the smallest conceivable government, what grows out of that is the largest government the world has ever seen,” says Molyneux.

Depressed and in College? Here’s Why!

Cases of severe depression among college students have become more common over the last decade, according to a new study that backs up what mental health professionals at university counseling centers have been saying for years.

Students have also become increasingly impulsive, more often attempt to injure themselves, and more likely to be diagnosed with more than one mental disorder…

According to the American Psychological Association, more young people are arriving on campuses with pre-existing conditions than they were 10 years ago, and 1-in-4 college students is on psychiatric medication.

“Why in the World are They Spraying?” NEW Critically Acclaimed Documentary [HD FULL]

The long awaited film, “WHY in the Word are They Spraying?” has finally been released! The reviews from those who have seen the film have been incredible. Because of this, we are expecting “WHY in the World are They Spraying?” to revolutionize the environmental movement and awaken millions more around the world to these crimes against nature and humanity. The next goal is to produce a television commercial about the dangers of Chemtrail & Geo-engineering programs which can be aired around the world. With your support we can get this important project completed. Thanks again for all of your support and please, “Keep looking up!!!!” DVDs can be ordered at http://www.witwats.com

To help us in our pursuit of making this issue known to all, we ask that you send this to your e-mail list and also post on all of your social networking sites. Together we can make this film go viral overnight!!!! While “WHY in the World are They Spraying?” is obviously free to watch on-line, we are encouraging everyone who purchases a DVD to make copies and hand out for free. Purchasing a DVD/DVDs helps to both support our work. (the Film Makers) and to support our vision of making this issue known to all. Passing out DVDs is a great way to wake up family members and people in your community. Purchasing a DVD/DVDS will give us the capital to start other projects addressing the Chemtrail/Geo-engineering issue which in turn will help in bringing us closer to getting these damaging programs stopped. DVDs can be ordered at http://www.witwats.com

People around the world are noticing that our planet’s weather is dramatically changing. They are also beginning to notice the long lingering trails left behind airplanes that have lead millions to accept the reality of chemtrail/geoengineering programs. Could there be a connection between the trails and our severe weather? While there are many agendas associated with these damaging programs, evidence is now abundant which proves that geo-engineering can be used to control weather. In this documentary you will learn how the aerosols being sprayed into our sky are used in conjunction with other technologies to control our weather. While geoengineers maintain that their models are only for the mitigation of global warming, it is now clear that they can be used as a way to consolidate an enormous amount of both monetary and political power into the hands of a few by the leverage that weather control gives certain corporations over the Earth’s natural systems. This of course, is being done at the expense of every living thing on the planet.

NDAA – Coast To Coast AM 09-28-2012

Fighting the NDAA

Date: 09-28-12
Host: John B. Wells
Guests: Stephen Miller, Dan Johnson

Filling in for George, John B. Wells was joined for the entire show by law expert Stephen Miller and Dan Johnson, founder of PANDA(People Against the National Defense Act), for a discussion on the controversial NDAA and other issues impacting freedom.

“We are heading toward the last stand for America as we are close to the edge a police state,” warned Johnson. The NDAA has been enacted for the last 48 years to provide funding for the military but the latest iteration is the most dangerous, as it authorizes the indefinite detention of American citizens without charge or trial, he explained. America has actually been under a declared state of national emergency since 1933, which means the Constitution is no longer in effect, Miller added.

Johnson spoke about Section 1022 of the NDAA, which authorizes the President to waive the military custody requirement of the act. The waiver does nothing to quell the powers granted under the NDAA, he said, noting that the powerful elite are reluctant to give up any of their powers. The younger generation is not easily fooled so the elite are moving quickly to further their agenda, Miller suggested.

Johnson credited the Ron Paul revolution and the Internet with waking up his generation. Miller revealed how the government has terrorized and surveilled him, even to the point of zapping his radio prior to tonight’s interview. “I don’t think they are happy about what we’re doing,” he offered. Miller also commented on how Agenda 21 makes Michigan a Constitution-free zone. Johnson agreed, pointing out that “much of the country is under a Constitution-free zone.”
