Texas Sued Over Sale of Baby Blood Samples AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A civil rights group sued Texas health officials Wednesday over the sale and distribution of about 8,800 samples of baby blood to pharmaceutical companies and the military. The federal lawsuit filed by the Texas Civil Rights Project alleges officials at the Texas Department of State Health Services lied when they said the state had not sent the samples to private companies or federal agencies. The group originally sued the state in 2009 over what it said was the improper collection of millions of baby blood samples without parental consent that were stored indefinitely for scientific research. State officials announced a ...

The Fix Is In: Expect Democrats to Buckle - by Stephen Lendman The criminal class in Washington is bipartisan. On core issues, Democrats are no different from Republicans. Expect more bluster before caving like Obama, enacting his deal with the devil worth up to $1 trillion dollars. The lion's share goes to corporations and America's wealthy, middle and low income workers getting crumbs. The fix is in. It'll happen, promoted as stimulus to create jobs and revive economic growth. Not so. More on that below. Given the makeup of both Houses, their voting records aren't surprising. Getting reelected counts most. Under a corrupted electoral system, generous funding is needed, ...

TAUNTON — A Fairhaven man will spend a year in jail for his role in producing an online rap video last year that threatened two law enforcement officials. Jason Foley, 29, also will be placed on two years of supervised probation during which he will not be allowed to use a computer or access the Internet. Foley also will have to turn in the laptop he used to edit the video that was posted last winter on Myspace and YouTube entitled "Watch 4 Me." Foley, Matthew Rufino, 25, of New Bedford, and at least three other men were seen in the video, produced by "508 Productions," rapping about their hatred for law enforcement and threatening to use guns if police tried to ...

Updating Mohamed Harkat's Persecution - by Stephen Lendman An earlier article explained. Like in America, Canada is waging war on Islam, Mohamed Harkat one of many victims used for political advantage to incite fear and mask Ottawa's support for US imperialism and war on terror, a bogus one affecting innocent victims like Harkat. Based on spurious allegations of ties to Al Qaeda and the Armed Sayyaf Group (GIA), he was arrested on December 10, 2002 and imprisoned for the next four and a half years under Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act provision pertaining to the "security certificate" process. Until Canada's Supreme Court (in October 2007) ruled ...

The Dictatorship of America's Aristocracy - by Stephen Lendman Obama's capitulation to Republicans on Bush era tax cuts and other lavish benefit extensions to wealthy Americans earning over $250,000 annually is the latest example of American Aristocracy's power over Congress, the courts, and president under both parties. Obama serves them loyally, sacrificing working class needs for society's rich while assuring unrestrained corporate profit-making. Feigning concern for American workers, Obama spoke of "tough choices....to secure our future and our children's future and our grandchildren's future" by class warfare against middle and low income people he ...

Ungoverned by the left, unpoliced by the state Yesterday’s political violence in London provided a striking snapshot of the flailing authority of both the traditional left and the police. Brendan O’Neill So, what was that all about? The morning after the riotous night before, how can we explain the gathering of thousands of students in the political heart of London, and their subsequent leaking into Whitehall and Oxford Street, where they smashed up the Treasury building, did some damage to Topshop, and frightened the life out of Charles and Camilla? None of the official or radical explanations for this night of political violence rings true. Neither the Metropolitan ...

FBI Sting Entraps Another Victim - by Stephen Lendman In December 2007, an article titled Police State America: A Look Back and Ahead discussed the growing threat, accessed through the following link: http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2007/12/police-state-america-look-back-and.html It reviewed post-9/11 legislation and a blizzard of Bush Executive Orders, National and Homeland Security Presidential Directives, and other ways of enforcing police state harshness by eroding constitutional protections. One way is by silencing truth, notably against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, jailed in London on a European arrest warrant for Sweden where he's wanted for unlawful coercion, sexual ...

Corporate Media's Version of Economic Justice - by Stephen Lendman Besides misreporting on Obama capitulating to Republicans, major media op-eds and editorials expressed support for a deal only the devil and super-rich love.

Unemployment insurance for millions of Americans would expire. And many other important tax breaks for low-and middle-income workers (wouldn't) be possible." False! ...

(The Dell ate my awesome post, so this is what you're getting instead. I hate it when that happens!) While the big government wing of the GOP has been yammering about simultaneously assassinating Julian Assange and the First Amendment, the media has been ignoring a cable that would normally create a headline of glee over at any number of the Islamaphobic sites the GOP is currently burgeoning with: WikiLeaks: Texas Company Helped Pimp Little Boys To Stoned Afghan Cops Before somebody says, "Hey! that's a private contractor!" let me point out a couple of sentences from the article.

An Assange prosecution would raise 1st Amendment issues WASHINGTON — Angry over the bombardment of leaks of classified material, top Obama administration officials are considering filing an extradition request with Sweden to have WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange face criminal charges, possibly for espionage. Any such proceedings would set up a test of whether the First Amendment's protection for a free press extends to a website with a worldwide audience. "What we're investigating is a crime under U.S. law," P.J. Crowley, a top State Department spokesman, said Tuesday. "The provision of 250,000 classified documents from someone inside the government to ...

Now round two, New York Times writer Deborah Sontag headlining, "Candidates Face Runoff in Haiti's Troubled Vote," saying: On December 7, Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) announced "that Mirlande Manigat, a former Haitian first lady, and Jude Celestin, (Preval's man), had won the first round of voting."

Obama Capitulates to Republicans - by Stephen Lendman Despite campaign pledges and President Obama opposing extending tax cuts for households earning over $250,000, another promise made was broken. At the same time, while supporting them for working Americans, he said doing so permanently is unaffordable. Unsurprisingly, a December 6 White House press release issued a "Statement by the President on Tax Cuts and Unemployment Benefits," saying: While "disagree(ing)" with Republicans, he capitulated, arguing that "without a willingness to give on both sides, there's no reason to believe (the current) stalemate won't continue well into next year....I am not ...

Feds monitor credit card transactions in real time

The federal government was recently forced to admit it routinely tracks financial information in real-time by monitoring credit card transactions, loyalty cards, and even travel reservations. According to documents obtained by Christopher Soghoian, US law enforcement agents brazenly engage in this activity without a court order, thus neatly bypassing the Fourth Amendment. The scariest part is that agents can write their own subpoena to access real-time financial reports, at which point they are forced to request a signed order from a judge promising the information won’t be disclosed.72;72; This, of course, prevents financial institutions from alerting customers they are being spied ...

Haitians Protest Sham Elections - by Stephen Lendman Washington's imperial boot flaunts Lavalas' slogan: "All people are people (Tout moun se moun)." The sham elections are one of many abuses. As a result, Haitians continue protesting for rights they've been long denied, including leaders serving them, not monied interests. On December 3, Al Jazeera's Sebastian Walker said street protests continued for the fourth consecutive day after the November 28 sham elections. "Tensions reached a level not seen in Haiti's capital in many weeks. UN troops were powerless to keep the crowds back. At times the city center looked more like a war zone." Litter ...

Supreme Court to look at Arizona's employer-sanctions law Ruling will likely affect legislation across the nation by Craig Harris - Dec. 5, 2010 12:00 AM The Arizona Republic Arizona again will be in the national spotlight regarding illegal immigration when the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments Wednesday on whether the state can punish employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers. At issue is the 2007 Legal Arizona Workers Act, commonly called the employer-sanctions law, which was among the first in which a state tried to assume control of what previously had been strictly a federal function. The landmark has withstood challenges in U.S. District Court and the 9th U.S. Circuit ...

Honduras: Latin America's Murder Capital - by Stephen Lendman By some accounts, it's the world's murder capital. The UN Development Program (UNDP) reported 4,473 2008 murders (61.3 per 100,000) in a country with about 7.3 million people, the equivalent of over 190,000 annual US killings, over 10 times the actual rate. For 2009, anthropologist Adrienne Pine estimated a 9% increase, saying in June 2010: "As someone who has been closely following the human rights and political stability situation in Honduras for over a dozen years; who has written a book and numerous articles on the topic; who has served as an expert witness in over a dozen asylum cases; and who has been ...

The others were for: -- minor illicit drug related charges; -- illegal possession of government property; -- conspiracy to defraud the US by making false ...

Sanction Congress, Not One Member - by Stephen Lendman The Constitution's Article I, Section 5, clause 2 authorizes the House of Representatives to discipline or "punish" its members for "disorderly Behavior," as well as for criminal, civil liability, or other misconduct issues. Ostensibly it's to protect the institutional integrity and reputation of the body, an impossible challenge given its longstanding record, notably over the past three decades, deserving far more than censure. Punishment may be by reprimand, censure, expulsion, and/or fines, monetary restitution, loss of seniority, and suspension or loss of certain privileges. In addition, the House ...
