Japanese arrested for producing 3D-printed guns

3D printing is a revolutionary technology, but never mind the hype – it will make its impact in unexpected ways. YAY! The second Industrial Revolution is under way

3D Printed Guns (Documentary). Here more about Cody's postmodern anarchist philosophy. 

UPDATE: Japanese authorities arrested a 27-year-old man Thursday for allegedly possessing 3D-printed handguns, some of which had the capability of firing and killing. Local media ANN News said the authorities found as many as five handguns made of plastic at the home of the suspect, Yoshitomo Imura, who lives south of Tokyo. The guns were yellow, blue, and white plastic according to images from the report. Kanagawa Prefectural Police also discovered blueprints downloaded from the Internet for producing the weapons, ANN News reported. "I made the guns by the 3D printer at home. I did not think it was illegal," the suspect was quoted as saying. The suspect later said on Twitter that "[g]un restrictions are a violation of human rights." The rate of Japanese gun violence is among the lowest in industrialized nations. Guns are not illegal in the country, but buyers face several background checks and other impediments. One of the first 3D-printed handguns, the "Liberator" pistol, was licensed last year from Austin-based Defense Distributed. (Source)

Condell: "We Want Our Sovereign Democracy Back"

Pat Condell is furious with the British elite that have sold the country out to the federal tyranny that is the EU. This goes for each and every member state, the closest we'd ever come to high treason

The theft of democracy: Do you want to live in a sovereign democracy or a federal dictatorship?

And while we're on the subject, this chart is what passes for 'normal' economic conditions in the EUSSR:

Free Papua Activists Hoist Flag Over Border Post

Following the opening of offices in Oxford (UK) and The Hague, countries round the world are now supporting the cause of autonomy for West Papua from Indonesia



Full version of the critically acclaimed undercover documentary, 'Forgotten Bird of Paradise'. The film provides a rare and moving insight into the ongoing struggle for freedom being fought by the West Papua people against Indonesian colonial rule. For over 45 years the people of West Papua have suffered in silence. Slowly their voice is starting to be heard. Documentary produced by Dancing Turtle Films.

UPDATE: Gunmen believed to be from a separatist group attacked a border post between Indonesian Papua and Papua New Guinea on Thursday, taking down the Indonesian flag and hoisting a banned separatist flag in its place. Reports said that the gunmen, suspected to be members of the Free Papua Organization (OPM) fired on the post in the Gunung Pawa area from under the cover of the thick jungle. No one was hit in the gunfire, but the border officials fled, allowing the gunmen to run down to the post, tear down the Indonesian flag and put up the Bintang Kejora (Morning Star) flag — a banned symbol of the area’s decades-long separatist struggle. The gunmen also set fire to a number of kiosks around the border post. A joint police-military patrol arrived at the post soon after, but by then the gunmen had fled back into the cover of the forest. (Source)

Reid Owns 93 Acres Next to Bundy Ranch

When a government is no longer on the side of the people, and the people have the inalienable right to freedom, this is what you get, folks! Hashtag #BundyRanch



Infowars reveal that Senator Harry Reid and his son are involved in a deal with a Chinese state energy company to build a solar farm on the same land to which ranchers have common law grazing rights.

UPDATE: While Senator Harry Reid professes that he is running the Bundy cattle off of public land because it’s the right thing to do, evidence indicates that Dirty Harry might have a personal interest in seeing that the Bundy’s join the other 52 ranchers they’ve run out of business. Parcels held by an entity, Reid Bunkerville, LLC, which is partially owned by the Nevada Senator are in close proximity to the Bundy ranch. The parcels appear to be in the path of future development, which may even involve a freeway interchange and loop, all west of Bunkerville in the same general area as those “trespass cattle.” (...)

Athens Protesters Take Their Underwear to Parliament

Open-air market vendors hung their underwear outside the Greek Parliament to protest a series of reforms that will economically destroy 50,000 families, they claim

Men and women, fruit and vegetables vendors and producers gathered in Kaningos Square and marched to the Greek Parliament where they staged their unique protest.

He calls it an “inspiring thought” that in the long term “the whole of European territory outside Russia” will be tied in some way to the EU. He admits he does not know if there is public support for such a move, “but we do it anyway.”
