Kush Chronic-les: 425 Pounds Of That Green Yahmean Found Stuffed Up In Piñatas At A Border Check!!

That would’ve been a fun birthday party ! According to CBS News : In two separate border crossings only a few hours apart, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized more than 425 pounds of mary and seven pounds of methamphetamine from two individuals attempting to enter the United States from Mexico. The two incidents took place at the Mariposa Port of Entry in Nogales around midday. The first discovery occurred after officers detained Juan Marcelo Armstrong, 24, of Tucson, for additional inspection as he attempted to enter the United States. A narcotics detection canine searching the vehicle alerted CBP authorities to the presence of drugs. More than 425 pounds of mary jane were discovered in a shipment of piñatas in the bed of the vehicle. The second incident took place just a few hours later after officers referred Pedro de Jesus Magana-Caballero, 28, Sonora, Mexico, for additional inspection of his vehicle as he attempted to enter the U.S. Again, a narcotics detection canine searching the vehicle alerted CBP authorities to the presence of drugs. A package was discovered in the oil pan of the vehicle containing approximately seven pounds of methamphetamine. In both cases the individuals were arrested and turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, while the drugs and vehicles were processed for seizure. We’d like to know what genius thought a rack load of Piñatas wasn’t going to look suspect!?!? Images via wafb

Bishop Eddie Long’s Finances Put Under Microsope [VIDEO]

The rest is here:

Before Bishop Eddie Long came under fire for settling sexual abuse charges against him out of court when he vowed to fight them, Long’s finances were under scrutiny in a congressional investigation by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley. WSB-TV starting looking into Long’s assets more than six months ago. Now with his wife Vanessa filing for divorce, Long’s finances are under the microscope. WSB-TV found very little paperwork because the church and its dozens of affiliated companies file very few public documents. Records show Long’s assets have been intertwined with New Birth’s assets for years, including New Birth paying approximately $200,000 in property taxes for Long and $85,000 in taxes for his private plane. Long’s financial troubles appear to be mounting. In addition to the undisclosed financial settlement to five young men who accused him of sexual abuse last summer, records show Long has agreed to pay nearly $2 million to settle a defaulted bank loan, he owes $200,000 to a developer, and in October church members sued Long for over $1 million in failed investments sold by a man he endorsed. WSB-TV requested an interview with Long, but a spokesperson told reporter Jodie Fleischer the bishop was too busy.

Tom Ferguson on SOTU: New Financial Fraud Commision Could Actually Slow Down Investigations

http://www.youtube.com/v/2zKODHA5dtk

Go here to read the rest:

Political scientist Tom Ferguson agreed with our dim take of the news reports last night on the formation of a “new” financial fraud commission on mortgage abuses (which is actually just part of an existing fraud commission that has done squat). He also saw the apparent co-optoins of New York’s Eric Schneiderman as an effort to rein in the attorneys general that oppose the mortgage settlement.

Tom Ferguson on SOTU: New Financial Fraud Commision Could Actually Slow Down Investigations

Analyst: Britney Spears Recording Was Doctored

The Britney Spears tape upon which Jason Alexander claims his ex-wife detailed the beating she took at the hands of Jason Trawick appears to be bogus. Alexander told Star that Spears’ boyfriend beat her up , and she didn’t call the cops because she feared a leak. He then leaked the tape to Radar Online . But a highly-respected audio expert tells TMZ that Jason Alexander’s tape of Britney Spears “has been electronically stepped on,” i.e. doctored. A lot. Britney and Jason in a show of public solidarity yesterday . Tom Owen of OWL Investigations is Chairman of the Audio Engineering Society Standards Committee of Forensic Audio. He says the tape was altered , badly. So much so, he can’t even do a meaningful voice-recognition test. Owen says the tape has been “stepped on at least 3 times” with noise reduction, equalization and removal of aspects like timbre, sibilance and tonal qualities. So did Alexander get punked or was he in on this from the get-go? Regardless, the expert says Britney Spears has a “very vanilla voice” and with modest manipulation it wouldn’t be difficult to make someone sound like her. Kind of explains all the crappy Britney clones in music, on a side note. Britney’s manager, Larry Rudolph, adamantly denies it’s her on the tape and may take legal action. For her part, Spears went to Trawick’s office yesterday. She spent time with Jason inside the William Morris Entertainment building, where he works as an agent (formerly her agent), left by car, then returned. All in full view of the media, surely as a public showing of solidarity. Jason Trawick was also seen outside the building and appearing calm, rather than nervous or ducking for cover. He is equally adamant the tape is bogus.

U.S. Shuts Down Web Sites in Piracy Crackdown

In what appears to be the latest phase of a far-reaching federal crackdown on online piracy of music and movies, the Web addresses of a number of sites that facilitate illegal file-sharing were seized this week by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a division of the Department of Homeland Security. Users of the Web site torrent-finder.com saw this message after the site was seized on Friday. By Friday morning, visiting the addresses of a handful of sites that either hosted unauthorized copies of films and music or allowed users to search for them elsewhere on the Internet produced a notice that said, in part: “This domain name has been seized by ICE — Homeland Security Investigations, pursuant to a seizure warrant issued by a United States District Court.” In taking over the sites’ domain names, or Web addresses, the government effectively redirected any visitors to its own takedown notice. “ICE office of Homeland Security Investigations executed court-ordered seizure warrants against a number of domain names,” said Cori W. Bassett, a spokeswoman for ICE, in a statement. “As this is an ongoing investigation, there are no additional details available at this time.” Among the domains seized were torrent-finder.com and those of three sites that specialized in music: onsmash.com, rapgodfathers.com and dajaz1.com. TorrentFreak, a news blog about BitTorrent — a file-sharing system that has tended to elude the authorities because it is decentralized — said that at least 70 other addresses had been seized, most belonging to sites related to counterfeit clothing, DVDs and other goods. On Friday, torrent users were already discussing new sites that had popped up to serve them. The takedown notices are similar to those that went up on nine sites in June as part of an initiative against Internet counterfeiting and piracy that the agency called Operation in Our Sites. added by: Itsbatman_Durr
