Stevenson is accused of taking cash to benefit businessmen interested in developing adult day care center. His arrest follows the takedown of state Sen. Malcolm Smith and Councilman Dan Halloran in an unrelated bust. Bronx Assemblyman Eric Stevenson, sold out by one of his corrupt colleagues, was charged Thursday with pocketing nearly $20,000 in bribes to boost the launch of an adult day care center. Stevenson was busted with the aid of [...] A store calling itself Fearless Distributing opened early last year on an out-of-the-way street in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood, offering designer clothes, athletic shoes, jewelry and drug paraphernalia. Those working behind the counter, however, weren’t interested in selling anything. But the effort to date has not snared any major dealers or taken down a gang. Instead, it resulted in a string of mistakes and failures, including an ATF military-style machine gun landing on [...] (Reuters) – U.S. law enforcement officials on Tuesday said 24 suspected hackers had been arrested in a sting operation spanning four continents that targeted online financial fraud of stolen credit card and bank information. In a two-year investigation, FBI agents posed as hackers on Internet forums, watching as other hackers swapped methods for breaching data security walls and creating fake credit cards that would work for Internet and in-person purchases. The probe [...] House Republicans plan to press on with consideration Wednesday by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee of a vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress regarding a stand-off over documents tied to the botched Fast and Furious” sting operation. The announcement Tuesday night by committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., followed a closed-door meeting at the Capitol between Issa and other Republican and Democratic lawmakers with Holder at the U.S. Capitol.

The sickening [...] Salon The apocalyptic story line was once reserved for truly apocalyptic events. Nuclear war. The return of Christ. Environmental or economic collapse. But it’s 2012, and the apocalypse has become the basis for everything from Super Bowl commercials to summer romantic comedies – and no media story is too small to have an apocalyptic moniker attached to it. (Remember Snowmageddon?) If you want to get the world’s attention, simply proclaim that the world will soon end [...] **FILE** Morgan the cow stops to eat grass on her way to being milked at a rally held by Grassfed on the Hill at Upper Senate Park in Washington on May 16, 2011.

Bartering may have been a necessary trade practiced by the earliest of our human ancestors, but in a society where central planning and control is the [...] By Clarence Williams, Monday, December 19, 1:40 PM Christopher Washington found some good customers inside that Northeast D.C. rowhouse, making deals for revolvers, shotguns, ammunition, crack cocaine and heroin. He kept going back, authorities say, pulling in thousands of dollars. Then, in June, he offered up hand grenades and a rocket launcher. His customers were eager to buy. What Washington didn’t know at the time: The house, dressed up as a recording studio, was wired by the FBI, [...] LOS ANGELES (AP) — The elaborate mission to recover a moon rock led NASA agents to one of the most down-to-earth places: a Denny’s restaurant in Riverside County. But at the end of the sting operation, agents were left holding a speck of lunar dust smaller than a grain of rice and a 74-year-old suspect who was terrified by armed officials. Five months after NASA investigators and local agents swooped into the [...] Another case of FBI entrapment, proving the only terrorism Americans must fear, comes from within the bowels of their own government. Tony Cartalucci The United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) claims to have thwarted their own “drone” bomb, in yet another farcical case of entrapment and fear mongering aimed not at ending the “War on Terror” but perpetuating the mythological, unending conflict. FBI agents apparently [...]
Not only did U.S. officials approve, allow and assist in the sale of more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa cartel — the federal government used taxpayer money to buy semi-automatic weapons, sold them to criminals and then watched as the guns disappeared. This disclosure, revealed in documents obtained by Fox News, could undermine the Department of Justice’s previous defense that Operation Fast and Furious [...] BANGKOK — When Thai voters recently elected a joke-cracking, former massage parlor tycoon to parliament, they probably did not expect him to expose police corruption and topple the country’s police chief. All the drama is thanks to the wise-guy tactics of Chuvit Kamolvisit, who is using his status as a lawmaker to fight the same kind of crime he used to promote. “You need an expert … to fight corruption,” [...] Italian police have arrested 20 gladiator impersonators in an undercover sting aimed at ending a violent racket operating around Rome’s most famous tourist sites, Italian press reported on Thursday. Police disguised as gladiators, dustbin men and members of the public raided the gang made up of seven families working with five tourist agencies. The modern gladiators are accused of attacking and intimidating competitors for a lucrative [...] An ATF supervisor who was asked to provide information on efforts to stop weapons trafficking to Mexico did not mention Fast and Furious, a botched operation that let guns reach drug cartels. The ATF’s field supervisor on the Southwest border sent a series of emails last year to a top White House national security official detailing the agency’s ambitious efforts to stop weapons trafficking into Mexico, [...] NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — This story probably falls into the category of Ripley’s “bee-lieve” it or not. The Bloomberg administration socked a Queens man with a hefty fine for failing to water his beehive, reports CBS 2?s Marcia Kramer. It’s a new one in the annals of city government. The cash-strapped Bloomberg administration has mounted a “sting operation” against city beekeepers — ticketing a Douglaston man an unbelievable $2,000 for not [...] Change of heart … man called the police after realising cannibal was serious about eating him A CANNIBAL has been arrested after his “dinner guest” changed his mind and called the cops.

A yearlong sting operation, including aliases, a 5 a.m. surprise inspection and surreptitious purchases from an Amish farm in Pennsylvania, culminated in the federal government announcing this week that it has gone to court to stop Rainbow Acres Farm from selling its contraband to willing customers in the Washington area. The product in question: [...] By Mike Carter Seattle Times staff reporter Related A 47-year-old Woodinville man pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiring to violate the Arms Export Control Act by trying to sell sensitive “radiation-hardened” military and aerospace technology to China. Federal prosecutors said Lian Yang tried to export 300 semiconductors that the U.S. government has said have no purpose outside of military or aerospace use. They suspect the parts were for use in [...] by The Smoking Gun The “Precious Treasure Holiday Company†web site was active until a few weeks ago when its Massachusetts-based web hosting firm removed the site from its servers, apparently in response to a complaint about its content.
