POPSBREAKING: ACORN’s New Orleans Office Raided by Louisiana Attorney General
According to NOLA.com: Attorney General Buddy Caldwell has served a search warrant at the ACORN office at 2609 Canal Street, according to Tammi Arender Herring, a spokeswoman with the office. Investigators in khaki pants and polo shirts loaded several dozen computers and other electronic items into an SUV. They are also carrying records out of the building on handcarts. The large office building sits at the corner of Dorgenois and Canal. ACORN staffers were given no notice that a search would be conducted today, Herring said. From WDAM in New Orleans: Caldwell said investigators will copy records and hard drives, then return them to ACORN. He said the original allegations of embezzlement were made last year by ACORN board members who were fired after they asked for a forensic examination of the group’s books. ACORN fired the longtime director of its Louisiana chapter last month, citing a lack of accountability. by Capitol Confidential Big Governm

POPSGun show "loophole" All of this is being driven by the IACP the International Association of Chiefs of Police who are "consultants" to the UN since the 1970's and who has partnered with the gun banners-The Joyce Foundation. These guys are the drivers behind most of the federaliztion/militirization of police departments as well as being the proponents of "Intelligence Led Policing" and "COPS" Community Oriented Policing. The IACP is responsible for the policy, guidelines, promotion and placement of the Fusion concept that has led to the development of America's new Stasi-like system of domestic intelligence.

POPSACORN's Corporate Donors Backing Off Banks and other financial institutions have given millions of dollars and other forms of support to ACORN for decades in response to boycott threats from the organization, as well as accusations of racism and other forms of discrimination in granting personal loans and mortgages. The ACORN campaigns followed passage of the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which was designed to pressure financial institutions to loosen lending standards in order to increase home ownership among poor and minority communities. Legislation strengthening CRA during the Clinton administration greatly encouraged such ACORN activities. Dissident current and former officials of ACORN claim that donations made to AHC and other affiliates are often misappropriated. “There’s no guarantee that any donations are going where they are supposed to be going,” said Ron Sykes, treasurer of the Washington D.C. ACORN and a member of the ACORN 8.

POPSIran's "Secret" Nukes "But the U.S. has known of the facility's existence "for several years" through intelligence developed by U.S., French and British agencies, a senior White House official said. Obama decided to gather allies to talk publicly on Friday about their view of the project so as not to let Iran have the only word, officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity to let the statements from Obama and the leaders remain the focus. The plant would be about the right size to enrich enough uranium to produce one or two bombs a year, but inspectors must get inside to know what is actually going on, the official said. The three leaders hoped the disclosure would increase pressure on the global community to impose new sanctions on Iran if it refuses to stop its nuclear program."

POPSJudicial Watch Files Lawsuit Against HUD to Obtain ACORN Documents (These states are California, Texas, Washington, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, and Louisiana.) By law, HUD had 20 days to respond to Judicial Watch's request. Judicial Watch filed its lawsuit on September 23, 2009. Judicial Watch seeks the following records: 1. Any and all documents concerning money given to the ACORN and/or any of its affiliates (since January, 2000). 2. Any and all documents concerning any actions and/or disbarments against ACORN, for reasons including but not limited to abuse of grant money, misconduct, etc. (since January, 2000). Over the last two weeks, the U.S. Senate has voted to deny ACORN access to housing funds, while the House of Representatives voted to deny ACORN all federal funds. The U.S. Census Bureau, meanwhile, has severed its partnership with the organization for the 2010 U.S. Census. The IRS also just severed a program relationship with ACORN.

POPSSkewed Priorities Raise Their Ugly Heads. Blackwater/Xe is one of the dirtiest companies around. They murder, lie, steal and cheat. They have defrauded U.S. taxpayers of MILLIONS of dollars and have refused to be accountable, not only for the money but also for well documented murder and rape among other crimes. And we just let it ride and keep on paying them more. Meanwhile, li'l ole Acorn hires a couple of idiots who appear to hand out questionable advice to a couple of ringers, and man, are we all over it! Instantaneous cut-off of funding and front page rants and raves. In the immortal words of Yakov Smirnoff, "What a country"!

POPSMinnesota Governor Stops All ACORN Funding "In addition, the letter directs" the commission "to conduct a thorough review of the state’s relationship with ACORN and to report back to the governor with his findings,” he said. ACORN has been under fire since hidden-camera videos made in Baltimore, Washington, New York and San Bernardino, Calif., appeared to show ACORN officials advising a couple posing as a prostitute and pimp on how to disguise their business. The videos were produced by James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, who posed as the pimp and prostitute, and were posted on Andrew Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com. In addition to Pawlenty’s action, the Census Bureau has also broken ties with ACORN and the Senate voted overwhelmingly Monday to block the Housing and Urban Development Department from giving grants to ACORN.

POPSSenate votes to deny funds to ACORN Well, pigs do fly!! "Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., said that ACORN has received $53 million in taxpayer funds since 1994 and that the group was eligible for a wider set of funding in the pending legislation, which funds housing and transportation programs. " I suppose it's all conservative blogger/talk-show hosts' fault for bringing this to the Senate's attention. Thank goodness. It's about time that *somebody* began investigating corruption. Now...on to Congress.

POPSCalifornian Condors In Peril
This is so like what is happening here, though, our wildlife is not quite as endangered as the condors. What magnificent and majestic creatures, what a pity to lose them!!! :-( So Tejon Ranch Company developed an elaborate smokescreen and called it “Tejon Preserve.” And, in order to keep the “incidental take” issue quiet while they concocted their “Habitat Conservation Plan”, TRC filed a protective order with its own lawsuit. Then, last month, in a clever PR move, TRC announced the lifting of the protective order. Tejon Ranch Company is asking the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Department of Justice to support its efforts to have a U.S. District Court vacate a Protective Order issued to maintain the confidential nature of settlement negotiations between the Tejon Ranch and the FWS over a federal lawsuit filed by the Ranch in 1997. As a result of the settlement, for the past ten years Tejon Ranch has been working with FWS toward completion of an H
