(NBC Lex18.com)  Officials in several areas of the country are investigating after a bomb threat saying numerous bombs were planted across the country was called in to the headquarters of Carmike Cinemas movie chain.

A Lexington Fire Department spokesperson confirms the bomb threat was called in Friday morning to the corporate office in Columbus, Georgia claiming that multiple bombs have been planted at theaters across the country. The spokesperson said that a bomb-sniffing dog has been sent to the Carmike Theater on Maple Leaf Drive in Lexington as a precaution.

Middlesboro Police in Bell County say they had a manager at Carmike call 911 to request police to come out and check the theater in connection with the threat. Crews are on the scene there.

There are also numerous reports from across the country that other theaters are also being searched. Click here for a report in the Tennesseean about the threat in Springfield, Tennessee.

(Cincinatti.com) NORTH COLLEGE HILL, 15 August — Pat Mahaney was walking home Saturday with a six-pack of beer, looking forward to a quiet evening watching sports, when something hit him in the back of the head.

“The next thing I knew I woke up on my neighbor’s front step and the life squad was there,” the 45-year-old North College Hill resident said Wednesday.

Six teenagers “were just bored and were looking for something to do,” a police report said, when they ambushed Mahaney as he turned off Simpson Avenue onto Dallas Avenue. He was immediately knocked unconscious.

“I don’t remember anything,” Mahaney, 45, said as he recovered at his mother’s home. “I was walking home from the store – and ‘bam.’”

It was probably a blessing he was knocked out during the worst of the brutal attack – one of the teens even grabbed a can of beer and hurled it at his head.

The boys face felony charges of aggravated riot and felonious assault. The first five arrestees were: twin brothers Tyree and Terrell Mizzell, Lamont Champion and Daquan Cain, all 13-year-olds; and Michael E. James, 14.

The sixth and final suspect was arrested Tuesday. His name was not immediately available Wednesday.

Greetings Citizens of the United States of America —

This weekend, it was disclosed by Wikileaks the details about a system known as “TrapWire” that uses facial recognition and other techniques including high-end artificial intelligence to track and monitor individuals using countless different closed-circuit cameras operated by cities and other institutions, including private businesses. This program also monitors all social media on the internet. The software is billed as a method by which to prevent terrorism, but can of course also be used to provide unprecedented surveillance and data-mining capabilities to governments and corporations – including many with a history of using new technologies to violate the rights of citizens. TrapWire is already used in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Texas, DC, London, and other locales around the USA.

The ex-CIA agents who help run the firm are old friends of Stratfor vice president Fred Burton, whom they’ve briefed on their own capabilities in e-mails obtained by Anonymous hackers and provided to WikiLeaks. Stratfor has engaged in several surveillance operations against activists, such as those advocating for victims of the Bhopal disaster – on behalf of large U.S. corporations; Burton himself was revealed to have advocated “bankrupting” and “ruining the life” of activists like Julian Assange in e-mails to other friends. TrapWire is extremely expensive to maintain, and is usually done so at taxpayer expense; Los Angeles county alone has spent over $1.4 million dollars on the software’s use in a single three-month period of 2007.

The above video shows South African police slaughtering striking miners. Although the race card is being played effectively in the United States to divide us, it is not about race: it is about power and control as shown in this video.

Does anyone want to comment on the massive amounts of hollow point bullets that our government is buying? It is not for target practice and this type of ammunition is illegal to use under the Treaty of Versailles. What kind of freedom makes people pay tribute to a centralized power structure which then uses it to buy 4 rounds of ammunition for each citizen in the nation? That we know of. I do not see either political party addressing what should be our number one campaign issue. And that is why they will continue.

A Modern Day Worker Revolt in South Africa

In a stunning and shocking turn of events at Lonmin’s Marikana platinum mine in South Africa, Reuters shows this extremely graphic clip of police opening fire on striking miners. A Reuters cameraman says he saw at least seven bodies after the shooting, which occurred when police laying out barricades of barbed wire were outflanked by some of an estimated 3,000 miners massed on a rocky outcrop near the mine, northwest of Johannesburg. Marx is not dead. In fact, far from it.
