Cops, Gun Control, and the Myth of the US as a Bloody Warzone

After a month of media attention-grabbing shootings in Isla Vista, California, Las Vegas, and now at an Oregon high school, President Obama devoted some time in a Tuesday Q&A session on Tumblr.com to these sad incidents, saying that we should “be ashamed” to have failed to addressed these tragedies. Now, failing to solve the real problem of gun violence means one thing only to executive power – that there have been no gun control measures passed for private citizens. Considering the blood on the hands of Obama – who is “really good at killing” and all – it feels repellent to see him mourning people who lost their lives to their fellow Americans. ...
VETERANS ARRESTED FOR ANTI-OBAMA FACEBOOK POSTS – POLICE MILITARIZED FOR VETERANS

Veterans are being arrested by Secret Service for making anti-Obama Facebook posts, sometimes the very next day after creating a post – a practice which has been going on for quite some time. All the while, our police force is being militarized at an alarming rate, with veterans being cited as one reason why. This is revealed in a statement made last month by Sgt. Dan Downing of the Morgan County, Ind. Sheriff’s Department, he stated “The weaponry is totally different now that it was in the beginning of my career, plus, you have a lot of people who are coming out of the military that have the ability and knowledge to build IEDs and to defeat law enforcement techniques.” ...

Some monstrous policy out of Pennsylvania, from Associated Press via the Pottstown Mercury News, a land where there is no such thing as debtors prison for the poor unless that debt is to the government, that institution that only monsters question because after all it's there to help the poor: Hundreds of parents, some impoverished and overwhelmed, have been jailed in Pennsylvania for failing to pay court fines that arise from truancy hearings after their children skip school, creating what some call a “debtor’s prison” for people like Eileen DiNino. DiNino, 55, of Reading, was found dead in a jail cell Saturday morning, hours after she surrendered to serve a 48-hour ...

Sandy, Utah resident Mark Shurtleff was thousands of miles away when he received the news that his son and daughter had joined the ever-growing ranks of Americans whose homes have been violated, and families have been terrorized, by SWAT raids. The Berserkers who invaded his home “showed up in masks,” Shurtleff protested, relaying the account provided by the victims. A dozen officers wearing body armor and carrying assault rifles “burst through the door screaming and yelling at my kids.” Shurtleff’s 17-year-old daughter was in the bathroom when the strangers in body armor burst in and painted her body with the laser sights of their assault rifles. The raiders ...

It’s interesting to step over to the dark side sometimes and read the “liberal” perspective on current events. I stumbled across a perfect example of liberal bias this morning when I read an article on a website called “Truthout”. The author was reflecting on the Las Vegas shooting and an incident in Georgia that also took place this weekend. There were two terrorist attacks in America over the weekend, but don’t expect the mainstream media to call them that. On Friday, 48-year-old Georgia resident Dennis Marx was scheduled to appear at the Forsyth County Courthouse in Cumming, Georgia, to face charges on 11 different felony counts. Marx arrived at the ...
DHS is on the Ground in Kalispell, Montana

As many who study the “war on terror” will agree, the apparatus implemented by the Federal Government to fight the phony war has been turned around on the American populace. Almost all large cities, and many smaller ones, have beefed up their armaments to ridiculous levels. Even the NY Times has noticed this phenomenon. Even the sparsely populated Flathead Valley, Montana is not immune from DHS intervention. With Kalispell, Montana being one of the hubs of the Liberty Movement, it comes as no surprise that DHS has set-up shop here. In the interview below, I speak to an eyewitness who followed four of these vehicles through town. At one point, they were flanked by air support with ...

Two weeks after Elliot Rodger stabbed three people and shot three more, a trio of legislators from California, including Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, have proposed a new federal law called "The Pause for Safety Act". The law would allow anyone at any time to seek a "firearms restraining order" against an individual to prevent them from purchasing any new firearms and also to confiscate any firearms they may already own. They're so confident the law is good that states will be bribed into complying through a federal grant program. The press release on Sen. Barbara Boxer's website says: The Pause for Safety Act would encourage states to take the following ...

The original text is below. On December 9, 2013, the United States Attorney's Office charged 18 current or one-time Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials with civil rights and corruption violations as a part of five criminal cases. The charges were the result of an ongoing FBI investigation and allege officers beat jail inmates and visitors, made false statements, ...

The founder of the scandalously famous WikiLeaks Julian Assange has spoken about the ability of governments to monitor citizens using their DNA, which would lead to a totalitarian future, Russia Today news agency reported. "We will see a situation that Sweden has had for more than a decade... which is everyone has a number, everyone's DNA is taken at birth, their DNA is encoded onto their identity documents or connected to it, to their tax records, to their credit report," Assange said via Skype conference at the Personal Democracy Forum in New York. The ability to monitor any person in the world either already exists, or will appear in a few years, according to Assange. ...

MINNEAPOLIS – On May 28, 126 police officers in Seattle filed a lawsuit in federal court, arguing that restrictions placed on the department by a federal court in 2012 regarding officers’ ability to use excessive force was a violation of their constitutional rights as officers. Although the restrictions were put in place by the feds to curb the rampant unconstitutional policing the city was experiencing — especially when it came to the use of excessive and deadly force against mostly minority suspects — the officers argue that having to restrain themselves while on duty only leads to an increase in the number of citizens and officers killed. In their 81-page filing, ...
US Marshals Seize FL Cops' Surveillance Records to Deny Them to ACLU

Hours before a scheduled meeting to surrender records to the American Civil Liberties Union about the use of controversial "stingray" cellphone tracking devices, Sarasota, Florida, police canceled the meeting, saying the U.S. Marshals had seized the records and they were no longer in police possession. Calling the move "blatant violations of open government laws," in the words of staff attorney Nathan Freed Wessler, the ACLU promptly sued, protesting the handoff of sensitive documents to the feds and seeking their return. Also known as "IMSIcatchers," stingray devices simulate cellphone towers and trick cellphones into connecting, revealing their location. ...
Minor Drug Dealers Now Considered Terrorists?

To all of you drug warriors, I am obliged to point out the case of the Georgia toddler whose face was blown off by a flashbang grenade during a no-knock raid. This is a direct consequence of the drug war. SWAT teams initially existed only for the most critical situations—hostage situations, school shootings, etc. Yet arbitrarily proscribed drugs equip police officers with an excuse to act like Special Forces commandos going after a Taliban commander. Sure, they’ll say the dealer was a kingpin, and that a no-knock raid was necessary for the safety of officers. And the truth is that I would like to be able to give the officers of the benefit of the doubt. Yet they ruin their own ...
Judge: Waive Speedy Trial, or I’ll “Beat Your Ass”

If you’ve ever had a public defender in a criminal case, you probably plead guilty for fear of getting beaten in a trial. Yesterday in Brevard County, Florida however, a public defender got beaten at arraignment, literally. Judge John Murphy is accused of punching veteran public defender Andrew Weinstock in the face repeatedly, after the two exchanged words in the court room. Murphy reportedly wanted Weinstock’s client to waive his right to a speedy trial, and when he refused, the judge said “If I had a rock I’d throw it at you” and then invited him outside of the courtroom to “beat [his] ass”. The dialogue in the court room was captured on video ...
Risen Ready to Take Fight to Jail After Supreme Court Refusal 'I don’t know what they’re going to do,' the Pulitzer Prize winner say

New York Times reporter James Risen’s appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was denied Monday, leaving the Pulitzer Prize winner facing a possible choice between jail and identifying a confidential source. He’s already made up his mind: He would rather go to jail. “I’ve said that many times,” he told U.S. News immediately after the court declined to hear his case. Risen says he’s disappointed by the court’s decision. Some reporters’ advocates hoped justices would accept the case as an opportunity to clarify the court's murky, four-decades-old guidance about journalists’ ability to shield sources. Risen is fighting a May 2011 subpoena requiring ...

Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder, Jr. on Monday announced the creation of a task force within the Justice Department to combat an “escalating danger” from “homegrown” terrorists within the United States. The Justice Department, in a news release accompanying Holder’s weekly video address, cited a Congressional Research Service report last year that said domestic terrorists were responsible for more than two dozen incidents in the U.S. since 9/11. Tamerlan Tsarnaev Tamerlan Tsarnaev, shown in 2010, died after a shootout with police four days after the Boston Marathon bombing.

Treatment of prisoners: US vs. Taliban

PressTV... An American professor and author says the recent prisoner swap between Washington and the Taliban brings to light the contrast between how prisoners held by the Taliban and prisoners at Guantanamo are treated. The US and the Taliban militant group reached a controversial deal last week that led to the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five Afghan prisoners held at the notorious US-run prison at Guantanamo Bay. While Republicans in Washington are criticizing the Obama administration for dealing with a “terrorist” group with some even suggesting that the use of “military force” was preferred to a deal with the Taliban, James Petras says the deal ...
House Reauthorizes Intelligence Community Funding; Refuses To Consider Amendments To Limit Domestic Surveillance

his is hardly a surprise given the events of the past few weeks, but the House on Friday passed legislation to authorize intelligence activities for the next year. It sailed through easily, 345 to 59. While a number of Representatives, including Zoe Lofgren, Justin Amash and Rush Holt attempted to make amendments that would do things like stop the NSA from adding back doors to encryption, or beef up whistleblower protections, I imagine it will surprise none of you to discover that the Rules Committee did not allow those amendments to come up for a vote. Notably, those three Reps whose amendments were ignored also voted against the overall reauthorization. It's interesting to note that ...

Before he conked out, he asked Odysseus his name. “Nobody,” replied the hero. “Well, Mr. Nobody, I like you,” said the Cyclops drowsily. “In fact, I like you so much that I’m going to do you a favor. I’ll eat you last.” With these encouraging words, he fell fast asleep. Odysseus jumped up and put his men to work. They put a sharp point on the end of a pole and hardened it in the fire. Then, with a mighty “heave-ho,” they rammed it into the Cyclops’s eye. Big Brother is indeed watching. Edward Snowden’s revelations continue to paint a disturbing picture of a surveillance-State panopticon the extent of which Orwell could not ...

A Federal Judge Who Needs a Psychiatrist with a Sideline in Proctology A serious question in an Internet age is who qualifies as a journalist and therefore for press credentials and protection under shield laws and Times vs. Sullivan. Clearly a fifteen-year-old semiliterate garage-blogger should not. Clearly a site like The Unz Review should. How to decide and who decides are not easy questions. Who should not decide is easy: the Federal Government. In Forbe’s, I find one Marco Hernandez, a federal judge of near-perfect ignorance, who lists seven requisites that in his view must be met if one is to be, in effect, a federally licensed journalist. (Note that Hernandez was appointed by ...

Washington Wants Maduro Dead by Stephen Lendman He's Venezuela's democratically elected president. It doesn't matter. Washington's dirty war continues. It's done so since Chavez's December 1998 election. He became president in February 1999. He served until his March 5, 2013 death. He survived Washington's April 2002 coup attempt. A 64-day 2002 - 03 general strike and oil management lockout. A failed August 2004 national recall referendum. He was Washington's main hemispheric enemy. It wanted him ousted. It wanted him dead. Obama killed him. Most likely by poison or cancer causing substances. Four major surgeries in 18 months couldn't save him. He ...
