Infowars: Virginia Students Suspended for Pointing Pencils and Making Gun Noises
“Kids don’t think about ‘Cowboys and Indians’ anymore, they think about drive-by shootings and murders…”

May 7, 2013A couple of second grade students at a Virginia elementary school were recently suspended for two days after violating the school’s “zero tolerance” policy on weapons. The weapons in question? Pencils.
Late last week, seven-year-old Christopher Marshall was taking on the role of a marine and his friend “a bad guy” when their teacher spotted them pointing pencils at each other and pretend shooting.
According to the teacher at the Driver Elementary School in Suffolk, Christopher was heard “making gun noises,” something school officials say violated their policy on weapons.
“A pencil is a weapon when it is pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made,” Bethanne Bradshaw, a spokesperson for Suffolk Public Schools told WAVY, but Christopher’s father, Paul Marshall, himself a former marine, says the decision absurdly restricts his son’s imagination and thinks the school’s punishment is going too far.
“He’s just being a typical boy. You’re taking away his imagination,” Marshall told reporters.
But as Bradshaw explains it, children nowadays are so frightened of school shootings that it makes sense to reprimand the threatening gesture. “Kids don’t think about ‘Cowboys and Indians’ anymore, they think about drive-by shootings and murders and everything they see on television news every day,” Bradshaw stated.
“There’s gonna be people that are overly sensitive because of what has happened,” Christopher’s father argues, “but you also have to bring what used to be called ‘common sense’ into play.”
It seems to be this same lack of common sense that has schools across the nation overreacting to a number of trivial weapon-related offenses, whether it’s pointing fingers in the shape of a gun and saying “pow,” biting a breakfast tart into a shape that vaguely resembles a gun, bringing a butter knife to school to cut a pear, or simply having a computer background featuring a firearm.
The school spokesperson’s comments also reflect First Lady Michelle Obama’s recent statements that “gun violence” has school kids frightened they’re going to be killed any day, a puzzling remark to make as her own children safely attend private schools protected by at least 11 armed guards.
Of course, in light of frenzied, concerted attempts to restrict gun rights, the demonization in schools of anything dealing with weapons whatsoever should be viewed as fuel for the campaign to brainwash Americans “into thinking about guns in a vastly different way,” as current Attorney General Eric Holderonce stated.
Apparently action taken against the boys was minimal as the policy allows up to a ten day suspension.
Police gun down 83-year-old woman responding to 911 call she dialed

“If I have to spend every penny, someone’s going to pay,” said Langford. “They took my mama.”
Alex's Blog: Virginia Government May Soon Increase Taxes Without Referendum
Infowars.com
February 12, 2013Pity the besieged tax payers of Virginia. Government in the state may soon pass a law allowing it to impose taxes on victims without their consent.
From the Washington Post today:
This income taxing authority actually already exists in Virginia law, with one important condition: It must be approved by a public referendum. The new law would eliminate that referendum, allowing a new income tax to be imposed simply by the local city council or board of supervisors passing a new ordinance.
[Republican Sen. Walter Stosch] said the ability to impose the tax may have been hindered by the public referendum requirement, so this bill (Senate Bill 1313) removes that.
The bill is currently in the House finance committee where it may continue to live or eventually die.
You can bet statist predators around the nation are watching this one closely to see how it plays out.

FUN FACT: Five worst American mass shootings were all Democrats
The five worst mass killings, where a firearm was used, have a common thread. Hint #1: They didn’t belong to the NRA. They don’t fit the stereotype of the “red-neck” gun owner.
Check it out …
Ft Hood: Registered Democrat/Muslim.
Columbine: Too young to vote; both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals.
Virginia Tech: Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff; Registered Democrat.
Colorado Theater: Registered Democrat; staff worker on the Obama campaign; Occupy Wall Street participant; progressive liberal.
Connecticut School Shooter: Registered Democrat; hated Christians.
Common thread is that all of these shooters were progressive liberal Democrats.
Virginia lawmaker’s bill requires teachers to be armed
A Virginia lawmaker is drafting a bill that would order some teachers to carry guns in response to the slaughter at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Virginia last week.
The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that Republican state Sen. Robert G. Marshall’s legislation would force school districts to arm certain staff members after they passed a course on gun safety.
Virginia Division of Legislative Services staff attorney Wenzel J. Cummings, who was asked to write the bill, initially questioned whether the General Assembly had the authority to require that teachers be armed. But he came to the conclusion that the legislation could be proposed based on examples of other mandates the state had imposed.
“Given that this is a mandate placed on the school board with regard to the training of its personnel, it seems to be within the realm of what your bill request would seek to accomplish requiring the training of personnel who would carry a firearm,” Cummings wrote in a letter Marshall provided to the Post. “In that vein, if you would prefer a ‘shall’ versus a ‘may,’ we think you could probably go forward with a ‘shall’ bill.”
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) on Tuesday told WTOP radio that the state “should have a discussion” about overturning a law criminalizing firearms within 1,000 feet of school grounds, but he stopped short of endorsing Marshall’s gun mandate.
The Virginia General Assembly likes to keep their proceedings a secret. Missed the live webstream of a debate or discussion about a bill? You’re out of luck—there’s no way to watch them later.
But. The Virginia General Assembly sellsvideo of their proceedings for $10 per DVD. For the past five years, Richmond Sunlight has annually managed to cobble together the funding to buy a copy of each and every one of those DVDs, rip them, and put them online (on Richmond Sunlight and the Internet Archive) for anybody to watch.
That’s where you come in. It’s expensive to buy all this video. There are guaranteed to be at least two DVDs per day—one for the House, one for the Senate—but some days they go long and two, even three DVDs are created for one or both chambers. Legislative staff tell us that it’ll cost us $1,240 to buy the DVDs for all of 2012, and the video for 2013 will run approximately $930.
So that’s $2,170 to acquire approximately 81 days of video. With the 5% Kickstarter fee and the 5% Amazon Payments fee, that’s a cost of $2,387 to acquire the 2012 and 2013 video, or an average of $14.73 per day per chamber (the House and the Senate).
Richmond Sunlight makes no money off of this—all contributions will be passed along directly to the legislature to buy these DVDs. In fact, Richmond Sunlight has no money, and never has. It has bank account, no revenue, no way to pay for anything at all. (As a result, the IRS counts this as taxable personal income for me, so I’ll probably have pay a few hundred bucks out of pocket come April 15.) In short, if you don’t donate, this won’t happen.Period.
$15 will pay for one day’s video for one chamber. $30 will pay for one day’s video for both chambers. $150 will acquire one week’s video for both chambers. For every $15 you donate, Richmond Sunlight will permanently credit you on one day’s video for one chamber, thanking you for buying that video to make it available freely.
Support transparency. Join us in liberating the 2012 and 2013 Virginia General Assembly video.
Seriously, if you can afford a Starbucks latte, you can afford to help back this project.
CON Job: How A VA Law Enriches Established Businesses by Limiting Your Medical Options - Press Conf. (by InstituteForJustice)
http://www.ij.org/vacon
Ordinarily, if you want to start a new business or offer a new service there is a simple test to find out whether your new business is needed: You open the doors and tell the world. If people need your business, you will have customers. If they don’t, you won’t. That experience—of learning what people need and how new types of services can fit in—is familiar to anyone who has ever been an entrepreneur. Indeed, it is familiar to anyone who has ever been a customer.
It is also an experience that the state of Virginia turns entirely on its head for people who want to offer new healthcare services. If you want to offer new healthcare services, even something as routine as opening a private clinic, you have to obtain special permission from the state government. And permission is not easy to come by: Would-be service providers have to persuade state officials that their new service is “necessary”—and they have to do so in a process that verges on full-blown litigation in which existing businesses (their would-be competitors) are allowed to oppose them. Not surprisingly, this process can be incredibly expensive, and it frequently results in new services being forbidden to operate at all.
To be clear, this requirement (called a certificate-of-need or CON program) has nothing to do with public health or safety. Separate state and federal laws govern who is allowed to practice medicine and what kind of medical procedures are or are not permitted. Virginia’s CON program only regulates whether someone is allowed to open a new office or purchase new equipment; it is explicitly designed to make sure new services are not allowed to take customers away from established healthcare services.
In short, Virginia’s CON program is nothing but a government permission slip to compete. It ensures that more money flows into the pockets of established, politically connected businesses, and it accomplishes this by trampling entrepreneurs’ economic liberty and reducing Virginians’ choices for medical care.
But patients and doctors—not state officials—are in the best position to decide what healthcare services are needed. That is why Colon Health Centers of America, headed by Dr. Mark Baumel, MD, and Washington Imaging Associates Maryland, LLC, headed by Dr. Mark Monteferrante, MD, have joined forces with the Institute for Justice to challenge Virginia’s protectionist CON program. The Constitution protects individuals’ right to earn an honest living free from unreasonable government interference, and it prevents states from putting up unnecessary barriers to interstate commerce. The Virginia CON program does both, and that is why the federal courts should strike it down.

GOP Senate candidate proposes state-run Virginia bank
One that is backed by gold and silver.
He should take it to the next step and propose secession from the union.
Promoting the merits of “small government” may be all the rage for national Republican figures, but in Virginia a GOP politician collecting signatures for a U.S. Senate campaign is proposing something slightly different.
Delegate Bob Marshall, who has represented his northern Virginia district since 1992, introduced a curious piece of legislation on Dec. 27 to establish a joint legislative subcommittee aimed at “establish[ing] a bank owned, controlled, and operated by the Commonwealth.”
Last week news outlets reported that Marshall is weighing another Senate run. He lost the Republican Senate nomination in 2008 to former Gov. Jim Gilmore by a razor-thin margin.
A cursory reading of Marshall’s bill reveals that he is fond of North Dakota’s state-run bank and would like Virginia to follow in its footsteps.
If the idea seems peculiar, the legislation makes it clear that Marshall considers the money-making possibilities a potential boon for his state’s budget.
“[T]he state of North Dakota currently engages in the business of banking, owns, controls, and operates a bank known as the Bank of North Dakota,” the bill notes. “[Virginia] is expected to have a budget shortfall of between $1.8 billion and $3.6 billion in 2010 and North Dakota is expected to have an $800 million budget surplus.”

Letters Reveal Eric Cantor Begged for Stimulus Money to Create Jobs
from PoliticusUSA:
During a March 1, 2009 appearance on ABC’s This Week, Rep. Cantor said that the government can’t create jobs, “And what we see in this budget, frankly, is an attempt, again, to try and stimulate the economy through government expenditure. And, you know, at best what that can do is redistribute wealth. It can’t create jobs; it can’t create wealth. We’ve got to get back to focusing on job creation and creating prosperity.”
Newsweek has uncovered letters that show Rep. Cantor requesting hundreds of millions of stimulus dollars for his district at the same time; he was publicly claiming that government can’t create jobs.
Just a month after going on ABC and claiming that the government can’t create jobs, Cantor sent a letter to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to request almost $75 million in federal stimulus funds for the I-95 high speed rail project. Cantor along with Rep. Bobby Scott wrote that, “High speed rail provides a sensible and viable solution to our region’s transportation challenges. It is estimated that creating a high speed railway through Virginia will generate as many as 185,500 jobs, as much as $21.2 billion in economic development, and put nearly 6.5 million cars off the road annually.”

CIA Moves Operations from Virginia to Denver
The CIA has plans to relocate the headquarters of its domestic division, which is responsible for operations and recruitment in the United States, from the CIA’s Langley headquarters to Denver, a move designed to promote innovation, according to U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials.
Is it a coincidence that the Denver Airport is home to some of the craziest Illuminati/Masonic murals depicting some sort of disaster, also the doomsday bunkers under the airport?
