Tortured for Testimony: Anarchists Get Solitary Confinement for Not Snitching

“You have to be strong. The only thing you do all day is just not break,” says Katherine “KteeO” Olejnik, on her two month detention in solitary confinement.

In September 2012, KteeO and her colleague, Matthew Duran, were imprisoned and sent to solitary confinement at Seattle Federal Detention Center for refusing to testify in front of a grand jury. They weren’t being tried for any crime, but refused to testify because of their political ideals.

Secrets of the Cyprus Heist

Let me show you why the plunder of Cyprus is probably one of the most

suggested, and why the names of the victims, and the full value of the
loot, will remain a mystery forever.

In the days of wooden ships and iron men, colonial empires pillaged
entire populations. At sea, independent traders, merchantmen, privateers
and pirates (broadly, those who operated without paying tribute to to
one crown or another) were masters at avoiding the powerful warships of
unfriendly nations. Of great importance in this effort was knowing which
flag to fly, when, in order to avoid capture.

CAIR Loses Tax-Exempt Status

INTERESTING NEWS came out of the Internal Revenue Service on 22 Jun 2011 ..

CAIR has LOST its 501(c)(3) /TAX-EXEMPT/ Status .. for violations of the reporting requirements ..

Here’s what is missing .. and why they lost that status ..
– “Under a new federal law, effective starting for tax years ending on or after Dec. 31, 2007, if an organization fails to file either Form 990-N, Form 990 or Form 990 EZ for three consecutive years, its tax-exempt status will automatically be revoked”
– “The annual reports include financial information on donations and other sources of income, operating expenses and names and payments given to directors and key staff members.”

(NOTE: The CAIR Foundation won exempt status in 2007 and then never filed any annual reports)

Therefore .. by NOT filing these reports .. CAIR Was automatically PURGED from the list of Tax-Exempt Organizations ..
(AND .. more importantly … DONATIONS to CAIR is no Longer Tax Deductible despite what their website states!)
