A New Global Police to Fight “Violent Extremism” in the U.S.? Why exactly does Obama want the “Strong Cities Network”? October 6, 2015 Matthew Vadum    The Obama administration plans to create a global police force that counters “violent extremism” in the United States and elsewhere.

Just ask all the law-abiding right-of-center nonprofit groups targeted by Lois Lerner’s IRS during the Obama presidency. Ominously, President Obama and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch unveiled the...

The missing Interpol chief, Meng Hongwei, who it was revealed on Sunday has been detained in China for 12 days unknown to his family or employer, has resigned from the international police agency.

He suggested that by relying on Interpol's resources, the United Nations would be able to handle international conflicts and transnational crime far better.

Global police cooperation agency Interpol elected a senior Chinese public security official as president, Chinese state media said on Thursday, in what could be a boost to Beijing’s domestic anti-graft crackdown.

If there is to be any hope of freeing ourselves, it rests--as it always has--at the local level, with you and your fellow citizens taking part in grassroots activism Are you afraid that the government is plotting to confiscate your firearms? Do you believe the economy is about to collapse and the government will soon declare martial law? Do you display an unusual number of political and/or ideological bumper stickers on your car? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may be an anti-government extremist (a.k.a. domestic terrorist) in the eyes of the police. As such,...
