Just one more on top of the daily stack of this crap! ------------ Sacramento, CA — A Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputy is on paid vacation after a video surfaced showing him stomping on a man’s face and hitting him with his flashlight after tasering him. Undersheriff Jaime Lewis says that they are investigating themselves after viewing the video. “There are portions of that video that clearly have caused me concern,” Lewis said. “And that is exactly what has caused the department to initiate an investigation, so we can get to the bottom of it.” The man being beaten in the video is 51-year-old John Madison Reyes, who said the incident started when he ...
John Boehner To Americans and Congress- No Time To Read The Bill, Quit Griping, Obey Me, Sign It

Not all of the dictators in Washington DC are openly Democrats. John Boehner has an “R” behind his name. Even though Republicans control the House, de facto Democrats are controlling them. According to Arizona Republican Rep Matt Salmon, “the fix is in.” Speaking of the deliberately-constrained time the Congress has in which to read, debate and vote on a $1 trillion spending bill to fund the federal government, Salmon is more than just a little upset. He said, “I’ve implored them. I’ve begged them. I’ve spoken in various meetings so that we wouldn’t be up against some crisis. … This is not the way it’s supposed to be done.” A ...

Congress Authorizes Unlimited Spying on US Citizens by Stephen Lendman Merriam-Webster call police states "political unit(s) characterized by repressive governmental control of political, economic, and social life usually by an arbitrary exercise of power by police and especially secret police in place of regular operation of administrative and judicial organs of the government according to publicly known legal procedures." Police state ruthlessness defines today's America. Affirmed by congressional legislation. Executive order diktats. So called National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directives. NSPD-51 lets presidents claim national emergencies. Whether or ...

Lawless US Sanctions on Venezuela by Stephen Lendman On December 8, US Senate members passed "S. 2142: Venezuela Defense of Human Rights and Civil Society Act of 2014." "A bill to impose targeted sanctions on persons responsible for violations of human rights of antigovernment protesters in Venezuela, to strengthen civil society in Venezuela, and for other purposes." Passed by voice vote. Unanimously. Disgracefully. House members expected to follow suit. More on the bill below. The world's leading human rights abuser targeted one of its staunchest defenders. Constitutionally guaranteeing fundamental rights. Enforcing them. Chapter I, Article 19 stating: ...
SCOTUS: No right to remain silent unless you speak up

If you want to invoke your constitutional right to remain silent, you’d better not be silent. That’s the circular logic of a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, which held that simply remaining silent is not enough to protect American citizens from self-incrimination. Though it’s received scant media attention, the decision has serious implications for criminal prosecutions, legal experts say. It came on June 17 in Salinas v. Texas, which concerned the nature of police questioning in a 20-year-old murder investigation that led to the conviction of a Houston man. In January 1993, Genovevo Salinas was brought in for police questioning about the murder of two brothers. ...

Crime Without Punishment by Stephen Lendman Longstanding US policy reflects business as usual. Ruthless and then some. With bipartisan support. Democrats and Republicans largely in lockstep. Rhetoric alone separating them. Supporting permanent wars of aggression. State terror at home and abroad. Abrogation of fundamental democratic principles. Systematic breaches of international, constitutional and US statute laws. Supporting wealth, power and privilege exclusively. Letting popular needs go begging. Burying hard truths.

The CIA contractors who helped develop and operate the "enhanced interrogation techniques" that the agency used on terror suspects, including waterboarding, were paid more than $80 million, according to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report on the CIA's interrogation program released Tuesday. The contract was for more than $180 million, but the contractors had only received $81 million when their contract was terminated in 2009. Although the committee identified the contractors via pseudonyms, NBC News has previously identified them as Mitchell, Jessen & Associates, a Spokane, Washington, company run by two psychologists, Dr. John "Bruce" Jessen ...

Beloit Police Ask Residents To Volunteer To Have Their Homes Searched For Guns Chief Of Police Says He Hopes Initiative Can Help Residents Begin Thinking Differently About Guns By Gilman Halsted Friday, December 5, 2014 Police in Beloit are launching a new effort to reduce gun violence in which they're asking city residents to volunteer to have police search their homes for guns. Police Chief Norm Jacobs said he doesn't expect the phone to be ringing off the hook with requests for police to search their homes. He nevertheless hopes the program will encourage people to think about gun violence as an infectious disease like Ebola, and a home inspection like a vaccine to help build ...
West Wants Putin Deposed

West Wants Putin Deposed by Stephen Lendman Regime change is longstanding US policy. All independent states are targeted. Mainly Washington's two main rivals - Russia and China. Long sought US dominance depends on toppling their existing governments. Replacing them with pro- Western vassal ones. Puppet leadership subservient to Washington. No easy task given their formidable power. Determination to remain independent. Free from outside control. Especially Washington. Wanting unchallenged world dominance. Perhaps willing to risk nuclear war to achieve it. Mass annihilation. Ludicrously believing it'll emerge last man standing. Able to recoup and move on. Lunatics infest ...

Obama's World by Stephen Lendman Increasingly one unfit to live in. Unsafe. A companion article discusses US military-generated toxic contamination. Spreading it worldwide via air and water currents. Affecting food and water ingested. Air inhaled. Making large parts of planet earth unfit for human habitation. Combined with industrial waste, creating an eventual environmental catastrophe.

Beyond Bernard von NotHaus

Congratulations are in order to United States District Judge Richard Voorhees of North Carolina for the judiciousness of his decision in the case of Bernard von NotHaus. We weren’t personally present at the courthouse at Statesville, where von NotHaus had been ordered to appear Tuesday for sentencing on his conviction of uttering — introducing into circulation — his Liberty Dollars. But we were on tenterhooks, because von NotHaus, 70, was looking at the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison. The reason we’ve been watching the case is that von NotHaus’ demarche is one of the few direct challenges to what the Foundation for the Advancement of ...
Here Is The Dash-Cam Footage Of The Drunk Judge’s DWI That Prosecutors Never Saw Read

McAllen, Texas – Earlier this week we published an update on the story of Nora Longoria, a Judge who got her DWI charge dismissed because there was apparently not enough evidence to prosecute her. Knowing how to play the system, the judge refused to take any type of breath or blood test, despite miserably failing the field sobriety test. Prosecutors in the case told the reporters that they never had access to the dash-cam footage, or that it had somehow disappeared. However, weeks after the judge had her case dismissed, police released a video of her field sobriety test to the media. In the newly released video, it is obvious that the judge cannot walk a straight line, or keep her ...

Obama v. Venezuela's Maduro by Stephen Lendman Washington considers Venezuela its main hemispheric adversary. Concerned about the threat of a good example. Shaming its northern neighbor. A sham democracy. Repressive. Hugely unequal. Belligerent. Waging war on freedom. Threatening world peace. Venezuela is polar opposite. In an April 2014 New York Times op-ed, President Nicolas Maduro explained forthrightly. Saying "Venezuelans are proud of our democracy." "We have built a participatory democratic movement from the grass roots that has ensured that both power and resources are equitably distributed among our people." Income inequality is the region's lowest. ...

Well, this didn’t take long… Days after Larry McQuilliams shot-up buildings in Austin, Texas, Police Chief Art Acevedo warned the Austin community to turn into the police friends and neighbors who harbor “extreme” views and who are “gun enthusiasts.” Acevedo discussed the recent shooting and claimed that what keeps him up at night is the prospect of “homegrown” terrorists like McQuilliams who harbor anger and have access to firearms. “And that’s why it’s important for us as Americans to know our neighbors, know our families- tell somebody. If you know somebody that is acting with a lot of hatred towards any particular group- ...

Killer Cops by Stephen Lendman Cops in America kill with impunity. On average over once a day. FBI data showed 461 so-called "justifiable homicides" last year. A euphemism most often for cold-blooded murder. A likely way undercount. Based on voluntary police reports. No separate federal database exists. No interest in compiling one. No way to check local reports for accuracy. Including how often white cops kill people of color. Usually unarmed/nonthreatening Black or Latino youths. Protests against Ferguson, MO injustice still echo. Justifiable anger resonates. In late November, Cleveland police killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice. In a park. With his sister and friend. Playing ...

Battleground America by Stephen Lendman America is more police state than democracy. George Bush institutionalized it. Obama hardened his abusive practices. Pervasive at federal, state and local levels. Ferguson, MO symbolizes what's wrong. Obama's solution: Downplay Michael Brown's murder. Ignore militarized police repression. Arm state and local departments nationwide with more weapons than already supplied. Types used in war theaters. Militarized America threatens freedom. Turning city streets into battlegrounds. Washington provides police nationwide with enormous amounts of combat weapons, related equipment and supplies. Last June, The New York Times headlined ...
