TEXAS LAWMAKER PUSHES MANDATORY MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING FOR CHILDREN Will Give Teachers Authority To Force Student Mental Evaluations

A Texas lawmaker has introduced draconian legislation that would force parents to have their children undergo mental health screenings at the behest of teachers, under threat of suspension from school.

The bill, introduced by Texas State Representative Jason Villalba (R-Dallas), gives school officials the power to diagnose students with psychological problems, and mandate screenings by health professionals.

Parents would then have 30 days to comply with the ruling, or the child will be sent to “an alternative school”.

The bill reads:

“ …the requirement that the parent or guardian, before the expiration of the 30-day period, to avoid suspension of the student under this section, take the student to the nearest local mental health authority or a physician specializing in psychiatry to receive a mental health screening and a certificate of medical examination for mental illness, as described by Section 533.03522(c), Health and Safety Code, that contains the examining physician’s opinion that the student is not a danger to self or others.”

Worse still, teachers would be required by law to inform the police, as well as local mental health authorities, providing the name and address of the student, as well as information regarding the psychological problem.

(i) A school counselor or a principal who receives notice
under. Subsection (b) about a student who subsequently is subject to
a notice of intent to suspend under Subsection (g) shall:
(1) provide the student’s name and address and
information concerning the conduct or statement that led to the
notice of intent to suspend to:
(A) the school district police department, if the
school counselor or principal is employed by a school district and
the district has a police department;
(B) the police department of the municipality in
which the school is located or, if the school is not in a
municipality, the sheriff of the county in which the school is
located; and
(C) the local mental health authority nearest the
school;

The legislation essentially forces teachers to surveil children and act as unqualified quacks for the state. It also opens up the possibility that children who merely act out of turn, or question authority can be declared mentally unstable by unqualified administrators.

Under the legislation, children could be medicated with questionable psychiatric drugs or face losing their education.

Critics, including former Congressman Ron Paul have long warned of the danger of government mandated mental screenings for children. In 2011, Paul introduced the Parental Consent Act, HR 2769, in an effort to prohibit federal funds from being used to establish or implement any universal or mandatory mental health or psychiatric screening program.

As Paul noted at the time “There has been a persistent lobbying effort, funded by pharmaceutical companies, to increase the number of prescriptions to even more children. A universal screening program is the stated goal of these lobbyists.”

The Obama administration, as part of its gun control agenda, has also stealthily pushed for mental screening in schools under a program called ‘Now Is The Time’.

The Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education have been provided millions in funding to essentially open up public schools to the psychopharma industry.

It comes as no real surprise that Texas Rep. Jason Villalba is on board with the move. Other statist legislation he has introduced recently includes a bill to restrict the filming of police officers, and a bill to  eliminate religious exemption for vaccination.

OBAMA MISSING NUKE NOW PART OF ELECTION DEBATE

Rick Santorum questioned on Obama nuke transfer to South Carolina

---

Potential 2016 presidential candidate Rick Santorum was questioned on missing nuclear warheads at a national security summit in South Carolina this week reports media outlet Bloomberg.

According to the report, a woman in the crowd brought the issue up to Santorum in a fiery rant against President Obama and his national security policy.

“Obama tried to blow up a nuke in Charleston a few months ago, and the three admirals and generals — he’s totally destroyed our military, he’s fired all the generals and all the admirals who said they wouldn’t fire on the American people,” the woman said.

Santorum “pivoted quickly” to instead comment on President Obama’s executive amnesty.

In late 2013, Infowars was contacted by a high level source at the Dyess Air Force base in Texas andinformed of an unauthorized nuclear warhead transfer to South Carolina.

“Dyess is beginning to move out nuclear war heads today. I got a tap from DERMO earlier. He said it was the first time they have been even acknowledged since being put there in the 80′s. No signature was required for transfer… There was no directive,” the source wrote.

The story became even more dire when it was discovered that Senator Lindsey Graham had publicly warned that same day that South Carolina would likely be hit with nuclear weapons if the United States failed to engage Syria militarily.

“The story was shared nearly 25,000 times on Facebook, aided by a video introduction by Alex Jones and by a follow-up that quoted South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham’s worry that a military build-up would lead to nuclear weapons moving through the port of Charleston,” Bloomberg author David Weigel writes.

During the same time period, President Obama was engaged in an unprecedented purge of high ranking military officials with ties to nuclear defense.

In fact, the country’s No. 2 nuclear commander was ordered to step down by President Obama, over a “loss of confidence,” on the exact day of Infowars’ original story.

The following month, the general in charge of all Air Force nuclear weapons was fired by President Obamafor alleged “conduct” issues as well.

In an attempt to belittle the validity of Infowars’ report, Bloomberg went on to tie in claims from known satire websites that worked to discredit the original article. Infowars investigation strictly covered the initial transfer, which can only be ordered by the highest levels of government, and Senator Graham’s remarks.

Regardless, the incident highlights how major news stories broken by the alternative media continue to prompt debate, such as was seen with Infowars’ investigation into major ammunition purchases by the federal government.

A nearly identical event took place in 2007 when six nuclear missiles were secretly transferred from the Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, prompting widespread media coverage. Multiple military personnel connected to the scandal died under suspicious circumstancesshortly after.

Bill to Pull Plug On NSA Introduced in Texas

 

Activist Post
Legislation would Turn Off Water and Electric to San Antonio Facility
A Texas legislator introduced a bill that would stop the independent Texas power grid from being used to power mass, warrantless surveillance by the NSA last week.
Rep. Jonathan Stickland (R) introduced House Bill 3916 (HB3916) on March 13. The legislation would prohibit any political subdivision in Texas from providing water or electricity to any federal agency "involved in the routine surveillance or collection and storage of bulk telephone or e-mail records or related metadata concerning any citizen of the United States and that claims the legal authority to collect and store the bulk telephone or e-mail records or metadata concerning any citizen of the United States without the citizen's consent or a search warrant that describes the person, place, or thing to be searched or seized."
"No water and no electricity means no super-computers. That will shut down NSA operations in Texas. If Congress doesn't want to reform the NSA then we'll just turn it off," OffNow founder and associate director Michael Boldin said.
IMMEDIATE EFFECT
If passed, HB3916 would ultimately turn off water and electric service to the massive Texas Cryptologic Center in San Antonio.
In 2006, the Baltimore Sun reported that the NSA had maxed out capacity of the Baltimore-area power grid via Baltimore Gas and Electric. Insiders reported that, “The NSA is already unable to install some costly and sophisticated new equipment. At minimum, the problem could produce disruptions leading to outages and power surges. At worst, it could force a virtual shutdown of the agency.”

This, in part, led the NSA to expand to new locations in states such as Utah and Texas, to ensure that the agency could keep expanding its programs without the risk of shutting down due to lack of resources.
A former Sony warehouse, just down the road from a new Microsoft data center, houses the San Antonio NSA facility. According to the Houston Chronicle, Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT), a publicly traded company based in Maryland, owns the property and leases it to the NSA.
The federal government keeps the Texas Cryptologic Center shrouded in secrecy. According to the Houston Chronicle story, "Longtime observers of the intelligence agency say they believe the San Antonio plant has a mission similar to the agency's other new facilities in Georgia and Hawaii, where communications intercepted by NSA are translated and then sent to headquarters in Maryland for analysis."
“No longer able to store all the intercepted phone calls and e-mail in its secret city, the agency has now built a new data warehouse in San Antonio, Texas,” writes author James Bamford in the Shadow Factory, his third book about the NSA. “Costing, with renovations, upwards of $130 million, the 470,000-square-foot facility will be almost the size of the Alamo Dome. Considering how much data can now be squeezed onto a small flash drive, the new NSA building may eventually be able to hold all the information in the world.”
City-owned CPS Energy provides electric service to the facility. According to the company website, it counts as the United States’ largest municipally owned utility company, with combined natural gas and electric service. It remains unclear exactly what entity supplies the center's water, but the San Antonio Water System provides water service to most of San Antonio.
Passage of HB3916 would prohibit both companies from supplying resources to the NSA facility.
LEGALITY
HB3916 rests on a rock-solid legal doctrine. The Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld the principle that the states cannot be required to supply resources or manpower to help the federal government carry out its acts or programs.
Known as the anti-commandeering doctrine, the legal principle rests primarily on four Supreme Court opinions dating back to 1842. In Prigg v. Pennsylvania (1842), Justice Joseph Story held that the federal government could not force states to implement or carry out the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. He said that it was a federal law, and the federal government ultimately had to enforce it.

The fundamental principle applicable to all cases of this sort, would seem to be, that where the end is required, the means are given; and where the duty is enjoined, the ability to perform it is contemplated to exist on the part of the functionaries to whom it is entrusted. The clause is found in the national Constitution, and not in that of any state. It does not point out any state functionaries, or any state action to carry its provisions into effect. The states cannot, therefore, be compelled to enforce them; and it might well be deemed an unconstitutional exercise of the power of interpretation, to insist that the states are bound to provide means to carry into effect the duties of the national government, nowhere delegated or instrusted to them by the Constitution.

Other key cases include New York v. United States (1992), Printz v. United States (1997), and Independent Business v. Sebelius (2012).
“State governments are free to refrain from cooperating with federal authorities if they so choose. In general, states cannot attack federal operations, but that’s not the same as refusing to help,” Noted Constitutional scholar Randy Barnett of Georgetown Law said.
WHAT’S NEXT
In practice, HB3916 would prohibit state or local-owned utilities from supplying water or electric service to NSA facilities in the state. The bill does include a provision allowing for the municipality to repay any bonds payable from pledged revenue from water or electric service before discontinuing such service. A political subdivision would be able to fulfill any contractual obligations currently in place, but could not extend any contracts.
Passage into law would be a powerful step towards ending the bulk, warrantless surveillance of all electronic communications.
HB3916 will first be assigned to a House committee, where it will need to pass by majority vote to move forward.

City of San Diego Sues Monsanto for Polluting Bay with Cancer-Causing Chemical

CITY OF SAN DIEGO SUES MONSANTO FOR POLLUTING BAY WITH CANCER-CAUSING CHEMICAL

Chemical giant flooded San Diego's bay and tidelands with PCBs

by MIKAEL THALEN | INFOWARS.COM | MARCH 17, 2015

 

---

The City of San Diego and the San Diego Unified Port District filed suit against chemical giant Monsanto Monday for polluting the city’s bay and tidelands.

According to the lawsuit, Monsanto knowingly hid the well-documented health issues linked to polychlorinated biphenyls, commonly referred to as PCBs, in order to continue using compounds such as Aroclor.

“PCBs manufactured by Monsanto have been found in Bay sediments and water and have been identified in tissues of fish, lobsters, and other marine life in the Bay,” the complaint reads. “PCB contamination in and around the Bay affects all San Diegans and visitors who enjoy the Bay, who reasonably would be disturbed by the presence of a hazardous, banned substance in the sediment, water, and wildlife.”

As noted by the San Diego Reader, internal Monsanto documents reveal the company has been well aware of the risks associated with PCBs for years.

“There is little probability that any action that can be taken will prevent the growing incrimination of specific polychlorinated biphenyls as nearly global environmental contaminants leading to contamination of human food (particularly fish), the killing of some marine species (shrimp), and the possible extinction of several species of fish eating birds,” the document states.

If the lawsuit is successful, the city, which was also sued in 2012 for polluting the San Diego bay, hopes to use the much needed funds to increase the chemical cleanup budget.

“In 2012, the San Diego Regional Water Control Board found the city and port responsible for pollution of San Diego Bay, namely in what has become known as the Shipyards Sediment Site,” the San Diego Reader article states. “In 2014, the City of San Diego agreed to pay $949,634 in fines for permitting the dumping of hazardous chemicals into the bay. The city also allocated $6.45 million to clean the Shipyards Sediment Site.”

Regardless of the lawsuit’s outcome, the revelation will likely only serve to further dismantle Monsanto’s hemorrhaging popularity among the public.

In fact, a 2014 Nielsen poll found the agricultural giant to be the third most-disliked company in America, an unsurprising discovery given the company’s $156 million fourth quarter loss from last year.

The latest US Geological Survey published in the journal Enviromental Toxicology and Chemistry also found that 75 percent of rain and air samples collected in Mississippi in 2007 were contaminated with the company’s infamous Roundup herbicide.

OBAMA JOKES: “IF I DID NOT LOVE AMERICA, I WOULDN’T HAVE MOVED HERE FROM KENYA”

Obama jokes about Hillary emails

By Kyle Balluck

President Obama late Saturday joked about the controversy surrounding former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s use of a private email account during a white-tie dinner in Washington, D.C.

According to a White House pool report, Obama told guests at the Gridiron Club dinner that he was once known as the young, tech-savvy candidate.

But now, “Hillary has a server in her house! I didn’t even know you could have one of those. I am so far behind.”

Vice President Joe Biden was also the target of several jokes.

“Joe rubs my shoulders, too,” the president said. “It’s not bad. It feels pretty good. I don’t let him give me a pedicure, but…”

Obama also took a shot at Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), a potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate, who was among dinner guests ranging from baseball great Hank Aaron to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews.

Obama said that Walker “punted on the question of evolution, which I do think is a problem. I absolutely believe in the theory of evolution – when it comes to gay marriage.”

The president also said a letter to Iran’s leaders signed by 47 Republican senators “wasn’t a joke.”

“You don’t diminish your office by taking a selfie. You do it by sending a poorly written letter to Iran. Really. That wasn’t a joke.”

And Obama’s response to New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s (R) comment that he didn’t love America drew big laughs.

“If I did not love America, I wouldn’t have moved here from Kenya,” Obama said.

Deutsche Bank Fails US Stress Test - and is the HOLDER of a MOTHERLOAD of Derivatives at upwards of $75 Trillion!!!

Word is out that Deutsche Bank not only failed the US Stress Test but also had many warnings from internal risk management that were ignored.
Here's a few articles:
Deutsche Bank Fails US Stress Test
http://www.dw.de/deutsche-bank-fails-us-stress-test/a-18309245
Former Chief Warned Deustsche Bank on Stress Tests
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/12/us-usa-deutschebank-emails-idUSKBN0M81VH20150312
At first glance...there is nothing we haven't heard here. So what? Just another bankster who mad a bad boo-boo and now will have to pay a fine.
But Deutsche Bank is no ordinary Bankster. Deutsche Bank is the HOLDER of MOTHERLOAD of Derivatives at upwards of $75 Trillion!!!
Elephant in the Room: Deutsche Banks $75 Trillion in Derivatives is 20x Greater than German GDP
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-04-28/elephant-room-deutsche-banks-75-trillion-derivatives-20-times-greater-german-gdp
Of course, the Derivative Bubble won't pop unless SOMETHING happens in the real world so Deutsche Bank has no worries at all...right? It's not like they are invested in any areas that are struggling...are they? It's not like they don't know what's going to happen in Greece, Italy, Spain...etc. They must be long gone from those risky countries - Right?
Not according to Standard & Poors report in August 2014...
"Deutsche Bank carries larger exposures to the so-called eurozone periphery than many peers, largely due to its retail and commercial banking subsidiaries in Italy and Spain as well as positions taken by its investment bank. Based on the country of domicile of the primary counterparty, its aggregate net credit risk exposure to Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain was €42.4 billion at June 30, 2014."
So now you can go to sleep easily and not worry about the Global Financial System melting down...at least until Monday.
Goodnight.
May the Road you choose be the Right Road.
