There is no situation that cannot be made instantly and immeasurably worse through police intervention. A splendid illustration of this principle is found in a recent ruling from the the Arkansas Court of Appeals. According to the court, police were entitled to arrest, taze, and beat a teenager who had done nothing more sinister than speak to his mother on the street in front of their home. A police officer accosted the young man – who, as a juvenile, is identified only by the initials "R.R." – after he saw him approaching a woman who was walking a dog. The officer, who belongs to a social cohort of people who are distinguished primarily by their timidity, claimed ...

Media Scoundrels Pillory Chavez Before He's Buried by Stephen Lendman His passing made no difference. Media scoundrels don't quit. They spent 14 years vilifying him. They did it unfairly. They haven't stopped. They're called scoundrels for good reason. They violate fundamental journalistic ethics. They lie for power. They turn truth on its head. They substitute managed news misinformation. They support wealth, power, privilege and dominance. They're in bed with wrong over right. They spurn rule of law principles and democratic values. They're well paid to do so. They betray readers and viewers. They do so unconscionably. They don't give a damn, and it shows. ...

Sen. Rand Paul launched into an old-fashioned filibuster on the Senate floor Wednesday as he tried to hold up the nomination of John Brennan for CIA director over concerns about the president’s authority to kill Americans with drones. Paul, R-Ky., is one of several lawmakers – on both sides of the aisle – who has raised concerns about the legal justification for launching drone strikes against Americans overseas. But Paul took to the floor after receiving a statement from Attorney General Eric Holder that creaked open the door to the possibility of using a drone to kill an American inside the United States. “To allow one man to accuse you in secret -- you never get ...

More Controversial Obama Appointments by Stephen Lendman Throughout his tenure, he ignored the best, brightest, most honorable and well qualified. He chose cabinet and other top picks he should have spurned. He did again. He addressed reporters in the White House East Room. He "announc(ed nominations for) three outstanding individuals to help us tackle some of our most important challenges." He chose Sylvia Burwell as new Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director. She replaces Jeffrey Zients. She's president of the Walmart Foundation. Previously she was Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Global Development Program president.

Italians Rejects Austerity by Stephen Lendman It's high time voters somewhere did. It transfers wealth to bankers, other corporate favorites and rich elites. It wrecks economies. It creates poverty, unemployment and human misery. It turns countries into dystopian backwaters. Italian voters said no more. They rejected Mario Monti extremism. He represents unelected technocrat government. They did so overwhelmingly. Over 90% spurned him. Economist Paul Krugman calls him "a proconsul imposed by Germany." Goldman Sachs installed him. He's a Trilateralist. He's a Bilderberg member in good standing. Some call him "Three-card Monti" for good reason. He belongs ...

The Law Of Necessity Written by Chuck Baldwin // March 3, 2013 // World // 0 Comments Most of us are taught from childhood to respect and obey the law. On the whole, Americans are law-abiding people. This is only fitting for a nation that was built on the principles of law. Remember, at our core, this is supposed to be a “nation of laws, not men.” This is one reason that our Founding Fathers bequeathed us a republic and not a democracy. Unfortunately, it has been over one hundred years since America’s teachers (both secular and sacred) have taught the principles of Natural Law. This has created a vast ignorance that has blinded people ...

Ready for victory? Or do you uphold unlawful wars, bankster economics, dishonored rights? Posted on March 2, 2013 by Carl Herman You all took at least one US Government class. You learned US federal government is limited in power by our Constitution. “Limited government” prevents unlimited or dictatorial power. Given our unalienable rights and Constitution, We the People have a choice: either honor and uphold our freedoms under law, or surrender to “emperor has no clothes” obvious criminals. Many Americans have Oaths to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Are you ready for victory now? Or do ...

Meet Ed Flynn – Milwaukee Crime Lord, Citizen Disarmament Advocate

Police Chief Ed Flynn of Milwaukee believes that his department is at war with the gun-owning public. In his February 27 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Flynn claimed that "in the last 20 years we’ve been in an arms race" with private citizens who supposedly out-gun the police. Flynn testified in support of a proposed federal ban on so-called assault weapons. But in the past he has made it clear that he considers a Mundane carrying a firearm of any kind is an unlawful enemy combatant subject to detention and forcible disarmament. "My message to my troops is if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets of Milwaukee, we’ll put them on the ...

Supreme Court Authorizes Lawless Wiretapping by Stephen Lendman America's Supremes are notoriously hard right. Equal justice under law is just a figure of speech. Rule of law principles and egalitarian fairness don't matter. Power politics corrupts the High Court. It lacks legitimacy. Five Supreme Court justices are Federalist Society (FS) members. They include Chief Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, and Clarence Thomas. They're ideological extremists. FS began 30 years ago at Harvard, Yale and University of Chicago law schools. Initially it was a student organization. It challenges orthodox liberalism. It corrupts itself in the process. ...

Kwon, a female Clearchannel reporter who Handel points out is no relation to Dorner's murder victim Monica Quan, described the situation near the intersection of Magnolia and Arlington Avenues in Riverside where two officers had been ambushed and shot, one fatally, while waiting at a red light after midnight on Feb. 7th.

Justices Question Aspects of Voting Rights Act

WASHINGTON—Majority conservatives on the Supreme Court criticized one of the pillars of 1960s civil-rights legislation, suggesting the Voting Rights Act had outlived its relevance and was imposing undue burdens on states whose practices are subject to extra federal supervision. The 1965 Voting Rights Act targets states that historically discriminated against minorities, and Section 5 requires some localities, particularly in the South, to get approval in advance from Washington for changes to their voting laws. At the high court, Chief Justice John Roberts reeled off statistics showing that African-American turnout is now high in Mississippi and relatively low in Massachusetts, ...

America's Draconian Computer Fraud and Abuse Act by Stephen Lendman It's an anti-hacking law. It criminalizes accessing computer systems "without authorization." "(E)xceeds authorized access" terminology was left undefined. Misinterpretations and abuse followed. Overzealous prosecutors take full advantage. In 1984, CFAA was enacted. It was amended numerous times. It's primarily a criminal law. At issue are seven types of offenses. They include obtaining national security information, compromising confidentiality, trespassing in a government computer, accessing a system to defraud and/or obtain value, damaging a computer or information therein, ...

The US is Morphing Into East Berlin I have always considered myself a peaceful, law-abiding citizen. I have never been arrested, obtained a Top-Secret clearance for my duties in military intelligence, have always paid my taxes, never demonstrated for or against any causes, etc. etc. Apparently, my evaluation was incorrect. According to Mac Slavo, I am now considered a threat, as I suppose many like-minded readers of this blog might be also. Who knew that we might be labeled as terrorists? Whether you like it or not, if you promote the ownership of gold, reject the notion that forced taxation is your patriotic duty and prefer to live in a country with limited government ...

“The unspoken power dynamics in a police/civilian encounter will generally favor the police, unless the civilian is a local sports hero, the mayor, or a giant who is impervious to bullets.” ~ Journalist Justin Peters From time to time throughout history, individuals have been subjected to charges (and eventual punishment) by accusers whose testimony was treated as infallible and inerrant. Once again, we find ourselves repeating history, only this time, it’s the police whose testimony is too often considered beyond reproach and whose accusations have the power to render one’s life over. In the police state being erected around us, the police can probe, poke, pinch, ...

Sequester Chicken by Stephen Lendman On March 1, $85 billion in automatic sequestered cuts are scheduled. Congress may or may permit them. Obama calls instituting them dire. On February 19, he said. "(They) won't help the economy, won't create jobs, will visit hardship on a whole lot of people." He spent four years benefitting bankers, war profiteers, other corporate favorites, and super-rich elites. He did so at the expense of middle America. Others most disadvantaged suffered more. His administration prioritizes austerity. He wants America's social contract destroyed. Straightaway in office he demanded it. He hasn't changed his mind. He plays hardball. He ...

BLACK PEOPLE & GUN CONTROL Some interesting facts in this article by a black woman about gun control and black people. There are 5 times as many white people in this country as black people. From the U.S. Census Bureau there are approximately 80 million white households and 15 million black households. According to the article 42% of white households and 16% of black households own a gun. That means there are 33.6 million white households with a gun and 2.4 million black households with a gun. That means there are 14 times as many white households than black households with a gun. The article also states that blacks are 6 times more likely die by homicide and 8 times more ...

I seem to be in a rut. This essay is yet another one critical of a semi demi quasi libertarian journalist who writes regularly for Canada’s National Post, a newspaper roughly equivalent ideologically to "our" War Street Journal. Today’s missive is aimed at one Chris Selley, who wrote an op ed entitled Religious education under fire on February 5, 2013. First, a bit of background. Canada, believe it or not, is even more politically correct than is the good old US of A. There, the Christian religion is widely and heavily deprecated as being inconsistent with the ethos of the day which supports sex before marriage, gay rights, etc. Trinity Western University (TWU), one ...
