A US Congressman has claimed that he was assaulted during a TSA pat-down and was then targeted for future pat-downs by the TSA after complaining about the incident.

Texas Rep. Francisco Canseco says he was inappropriately touched in private areas during a run in with the TSA earlier this month at San Antonio International Airport.

“The agent was very aggressive in his pat-down, and he was patting me down where no one is supposed to go,” Canseco, who describes himself as a “limited-government conservative”, told KENS 5 news.

“It got very uncomfortable so I moved his hand away. That stopped everything and brought in supervisors and everyone else.” Canseco added.

When the Congressman said he’d been assaulted, the TSA agent claimed that Canseco had actually assaulted him. The TSA says that neither man was cited in the incident.

One week later Canseco was again singled out by the TSA in the same airport and selected for a pat-down.

“I did not see it as a coincidence,” he said. “I asked them why are you going to pat me down again, so we discussed it further and after discussing it further, they patted me down.”

When Canseco refused to allow the agent to touch his private areas a second time, police officers were called to the scene.

The TSA released the following generic statement regarding the incident:

TEDxTalks | April 18 2012

Description of Talk:  As a journalist, Ellen’s passion for research led her to ask a simple question about where our money and banking come from: Why do we repeat the cycle of privatizing bank profits in the good times, and publicly owning their losses in the bad times? Ellen’s answer may surprise you: Throughout history, publicly-owned banks have coined money far cheaper than relying on governments to indebt themselves to private banks through a central bank like the Federal Reserve. Ellen challenges the inevitability and safety of a money system dominated solely by privately-owned banks.

The word “YES” in any language is one of the most powerful words you can use. It will instantaneously and naturally expand your energy field, and make you more receptive to what the Universe is offering you. When you say YES it vibrates your vocal cords and creates a powerful resonance in your body sending out positive vibrations into your world. Take a moment right now to discover what YES feels like when you just think this thought. Say the word YES in your mind several times getting louder each time. How does it make you feel? Did you notice any energy shift inside? Most people sense their energy is expanding and they feel more joyful and open to life. Saying this magical word on your inner world is only a small portion of the power you can tap into. We recommend saying YES out loud to the Universe if you really want to energetically open up your being and manifest whatever desire is trying to come your way.

“There is a life-affirming spark within you which constantly nudges you towards saying yes to life. Create your YES list; a list of all the things you want to say YES to, and be prepared to be amazed. ~ Linda MacDonald

If you want a great secret to quickly manifesting your dream life, always start with the end result first. This means that AFTER you receive the goodies the Universe is trying to gift you, what will your end result response be? You will naturally say YES or some form of “thank you” in response. So start with saying YES now and you’ll put the horse in front of the cart and get things moving!

Paul Craig Roberts ~ How Liberty Was Lost

Branch DavidiansWhen did things begin going wrong in America?

“From the beginning,” answer some. English colonists, themselves under the thumb of a king, exterminated American Indians and stole their lands, as did late 18th and 19th century Americans. Over the course of three centuries the native inhabitants of America were dispossessed, just as Israelis have been driving Palestinians off their lands since 1948.

Demonization always plays a role. The Indians were savages and the Palestinians are terrorists. Any country that can control the explanation can get away with evil.

I agree that there is a lot of evil in every country and civilization. In the struggle between good and evil, religion has at times been on the side of evil. However, the notion of moral progress cannot so easily be thrown out.

Consider, for example, slavery. In the 1800s, slavery still existed in countries that proclaimed equal rights. Even free women did not have equal rights. Today no Western country would openly tolerate the ownership of humans or the transfer of a woman’s property upon her marriage to her husband.

It is true that Western governments have ownership rights in the labor of their citizens through the income tax. This remains as a mitigated form of serfdom. So far, however, no government has claimed the right of ownership over the person himself.

Sometimes I hear from readers that my efforts are pointless, that elites are always dominant and that the only solution is to find one’s way into the small, connected clique of elites either through marriage or service to their interests.

This might sound like cynical advice, but it is not devoid of some truth. Indeed, it is the way Washington and New York work, and increasingly the way the entire country operates.

Washington serves powerful private interests, not the public interest. University faculties in their research increasingly serve private interests and decreasingly serve truth. In the US the media is no longer a voice and protection for the people. It is becoming increasingly impossible in America to get a good job without being connected to the system that serves the elites.
