Boston Terrorists Welfare Cover-Up just Got Bigger

4/26/13 - Fox & Friends continued Boston coverage on Friday, focusing in on the surviving bombing suspect and his family. Namely, that they were reportedly on welfare and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has thus far refused to elaborate on that. It's public knowledge, the hosts argued — and, given the circumstances, should not be kept undisclosed for privacy reasons. Updating viewers on some of the developments (Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been moved from the hospital to a medical detention facility), the hosts also took note of the suspects' mother, who gave an interview yesterday to CNN. While she was clearly "crazy with grief and rage," Steve Doocy noted, "from all indications, she was crazy before." Agreeing that there won't be much sympathy for the mother, Gretchen Carlson pivoted to the welfare angle on the story, asking, "Were the two suspects and the entire family, for that matter, on the government dole for the entire time that they lived here in the United States of America, a country they now hate?" Informing that Patrick won't further explain what assistance the family received due to personal privacy, Carlson questioned how privacy comes into play when one of the suspects is dead. If taxpayers were financing the family, she argued, the information should be "public knowledge." "Before the governor told all the state agencies to clam up, it was clear, it was leaked to some of the Boston papers, that both the bombers wound up with Massachusetts state's welfare, their parents wound up with welfare," Steve Doocy chimed in. "His wife, the eldest bomber, she wound up with welfare, along with their three-year-old." Doocy further alluded to radio host Howie Carr's recent remarks about Patrick, in which he contended that the governor was "standing up for the rights of terror" — which, for a Democrat, is a "resumé enhancer."

Number of people dependent on food banks on rise in UK

Number of people dependent on food banks on rise in UK


The number of people in Britain needing emergency food hand-outs has dramatically jumped in the past year. 350,000 people turned to food banks for help in 2012.



Charities, like the Trussell Trust - the largest provider of food banks in the UK with 345 established centers - say a further 400-600 more such centers are needed to cope with the growing demand.

Every family who comes to one of their food bank is given three-day's supply of dry goods including pasta, rice and tinned produce. The projects are run by volunteers.

US Hospitals send hundreds of Immigrants back home

In the past 5 years, over 600 undocumented immigrants have been deported from US hospitals while they were unconscious, after health care providers decided it would cost too much to let them stay. The numbers are sure to be higher because estimating the number of cases is difficult since no government agency or organization keeps track and many go unreported. The federal government claims it's not involved in the hospital deportations, that it has been the decisions of the health care providers exclusively to send patients back to their home countries without their knowing --- all in the name of curbing medical expenses. It's so common now that it even has a name "medical repatriation," where the patients are placed on chartered international flights paid for by the hospitals. All taking place in what seems to be an unregulated sort of a black hole without any way of monitoring the practice.

NATO Collapsing under a Debt Mountain?

NATO Collapse Looms? Cuts & 'military irrelevance' hang over Alliance

NATO's top military officer says European countries need to spend more on defense, because they're free-riding on American funding. Officials warn the US-led bloc is rapidly losing effectiveness and unity. Crisis-hit NATO states forced to slash their spending, have already chopped 45 Billion dollars off the Alliance treasury - the equivalent of Germany's entire military budget. And as RT's Tesa Arcilla reports from Brussels, the rift between Alliance members is growing.

California Calls For Door to Door Gun Confiscation

California Calls For Door to Door Gun Confiscation

Less than a week after SWAT police went house to house ripping families out of their homes during broad daylight in the manhunt that ensued following the Boston bombings, other police departments have seemingly taken a police state cue and followed suit. Yesterday it was reported that FBI agents and local police SWAT along with the California Highway Patrol conducted a "massive sweep" of Oakland where they barricaded several streets and closed down certain parts of the town for more than an hour. "It appeared to be an extensive operation with many officers involved," KTVU reported, adding, "There were agents carrying out actions in numerous parts of the city Wednesday night." Armored vehicles and helicopters circling overhead assisted the patrols as law enforcement allegedly served warrants for drugs and weapons charges. It's reasonable to assume that the raids partially occurred as a result of SB 140's recent passage, a California bill touted as one that would expedite the confiscation of "illegal" firearms from people with "serious mental illness" and criminal convictions.
