An Open Letter to Pacifica Radio's KPFA Management - by Stephen Lendman Subject: A "truth emergency" over censorship at Pacifica's flagship station By implementing early December budget and staff cuts, KPFA's management targeted its award-winning Flashpoints Radio for extinction, sullied the name of its founder, Lew Hill, and defiled fundamental First Amendment freedoms without which no others are possible. On April 15, 1949, Hill went on the air saying: "This is KPFA, listener-sponsored radio in Berkeley" and launched America's first independent, listener-supported, "people's radio" as a sanctuary for free speech, dissent, alternative ...
Western Race Hatred Laws: Keep the Caucasians Down

When five blacks kidnapped a white couple, raped and murdered the man, than kept the woman for further rapes and poured bleach down her throat to kill her, there was no hate crime, even though those five became the idols of black racist groups in American. When blacks in Los Angeles target Koreans for robbery and murder, also nothing. Nor when Mexican gangs ethnically cleanse one street after another. When Islamic Pakistanis in England beat an Anglican priest almost to death, in front of his church and screamed how they were going burn down the church, or when other Islamics poured acid in the face of a raped school girl, nothing happened. No hate crimes. When Islamic Turks murdered the ...
Wichita Falls joins in Open Meetings Act lawsuit

AUSTIN, Texas — Wichita Falls joins four other Texas cities in a lawsuit against the state seeking to declare part of the Texas Open Meetings Act unconstitutional. The Wichita Falls City Council voted Tuesday to join the lawsuit filed Monday in a Pecos federal court. The plaintiffs, which include 15 elected officials, claim that the act violates elected officials' First Amendment free speech rights. The act prohibits a quorum of members of a governmental body from deliberating in secret. Plaintiffs argue that some communication — including e-mail or social media Web sites — by a quorum of elected officials should be allowed outside of a posted meeting. Wichita Falls ...

Targeting Lawyers - The Case of Paul Bergrin

Targeting Lawyers: The Case of Paul Bergrin - by Stephen Lendman The Constitution's Sixth Amendment assures defendants in "all criminal prosecutions" the right to speedy, public, fair trials with "the Assistance of (competent) Counsel for his (or her) defense" provided free if unable to pay for it. The Fourteenth Amendment holds government subservient to the law and guarantees due process respect for everyone's legal right to judicial fairness on matters relating to life, liberty, or property. In America and elsewhere, defending unpopular clients is a long, honored tradition. So is upholding the law and challenging unfettered power that defiles it. Yet doing it ...
American fascism: Obama, "Justice" Dept., Supreme Court prevent prosecution of US torture
Post Date: 2009-12-15 22:54:00 by Horse

Orwellian Peace Prize winner President Obama is instructing his Department of Justice (DOJ) to block prosecution of torture. The Supreme Court is upholding this "defense." Impeachment is the constitutional recourse against President Obama and civil officers for their criminal complicity after the fact in torture. Covering-up a crime is a crime. The fact that Congress has not impeached to enforce US law, Constitutional law, and international law is gradually overcoming Americans' blindness to the obvious admission of fact that the US government is a de facto fascist state; a constitutional republic in empty rhetoric only. Americans should be outraged that their government ...
Border security guards kill -- literally kill -- a MacBook

Young American woman travels over to Jerusalem to meet some friends, see the sights, live the life. Overzealous border security officers ask her a bunch of questions, take issue with her answers, and a few well-placed bullets later she is allowed entry into the country with a somewhat altered MacBook in tow. So what can we all learn from this incident? Firstly, back up all the data you consider important; B, Israeli policemen don't mess about; and 3, distressed laptops look gorgeous no matter how they got there -- just look at the way the glass trackpad has wrinkled up from the force of the bullet penetrating near it, it's a borderline work of art. The young lady in question has ...

gitmo SCOTUS ruling means torture could return: civil rights groupThe United States Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear an appeal by four former Guantanamo inmates who want to sue the US government for torture they say they endured during their stay at the prison camp, a move the inmates' lawyers say could pave the way for future torture practices by the US military. The four plaintiffs -- Rhuhel Ahmed, Jamal al-Harith, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul -- say they were subjected to numerous forms of physical abuse and religious humiliation, including having their beards shaved, being threatened with dogs and being placed in cells that were alternately very hot or very cold. The lawsuit ...
American fascism: by political definition the US is now fascist, not a constitutional republic

Look in any textbook or encyclopedia and compare US policy (not rhetoric) to the definitions of fascism and constitutional republic. I’ll explain it here, but check my work. If at the end of your consideration, you agree that the United States of America is now a fascist state, please speak-up about it. Also, consider the policy requests at the end of the article. Please read this article like a prima facie legal argument; that means unless you can refute the facts, they stand as our best understanding of the issue. Here, if you can’t refute the evidence that the US is now a fascist state, then accept this as your best understanding. As time passes, if evidence is brought forward ...

Missouri's Arresting Developments Paul Jacob Sunday, December 13, 2009 Our out-of-touch and out-of-control federal government generates most of our political grumblings. Washington is the government furthest away, and takes the biggest bite out of our wallets — to simultaneously wreak the most economic havoc through their complex matrix of subsidies, regulations and mandates. Yet, the sort of arrogance, corruption and political bullying we’ve come to expect in national politics, has now reached Everytown, USA. St. Louis, Missouri, to be specific. Last week, Gustavo Rendon was arrested in broad daylight — right in front of his two boys. One St. Louis policeman ...

Tenn. demonstrates trend of looser guns laws (December 11th, 2009 @ 12:54pm) By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - It's been the year of the gun in Tennessee. In a flurry of legislative action, handgun owners won the right to take their weapons onto sports fields and playgrounds and, at least briefly, into bars. A change in leadership at the state Capitol helped open the doors to the gun-related bills and put Tennessee at the forefront of a largely unnoticed trend: In much of the country, it is getting easier to carry guns. A nationwide review by The Associated Press found that over the last two years, 24 states, mostly in the South and West, have ...

Government Giveth and Taketh Away Emmett Tyrrell Thursday, December 10, 2009 WASHINGTON -- Do my eyes deceive me? Did I really see President Barack Obama this week calling for a vast increase in government spending? He is promising to "spend our way out of this recession." He plans to build highways and bridges. There will be tax cuts for small businesses. There will be tax incentives for making our homes more energy-efficient. Economic stimulus will be extended for unemployment insurance. Checks for $250 will be sent to senior citizens and veterans. More money will be sent to state and local governments so they will not have to lay off teachers, firefighters and police. It is ...
The Fallacy of Public Goods: Libertarians and National Defense
Post Date: 2009-12-10 06:26:28 by Ada

For some reason free market libertarians, Ayn Rand included, tend to fall for the public goods unlogic and therefore dismiss anarchism as a viable social order. Nothing could be further from the truth. Public goods are not a problem in a free market – they are only a problem in a regulated such. In fact, the logic emanating from identifying the existence of public goods is based on false assumptions. Public goods are defined as goods or services that are both non-rivalrous and non-excludable, i.e. the “exact opposite” of private goods, which are both rivalrous and excludable, in the common two-by-two setup. Whatever is rivalrous is limited in terms of consumption, which ...
A new report questions "suicides" at Guantanamo
Post Date: 2009-12-09 06:11:46 by Ada

On the night of June 10, 2006, three Guantanamo detainees were found dead in their individual cells. Without any autopsy or investigation, U.S. military officials proclaimed "suicide by hanging" as the cause of each death, and immediately sought to exploit the episode as proof of the evil of the detainees. Admiral Harry Harris, the camp's commander, said it showed "they have no regard for life" and that the suicides were "not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetric warfare aimed at us here at Guantanamo"; another official anonymously said that the suicides showed the victims were "committed jihadists [who] will do anything they can to advance ...

US Elections: Supreme Court May Rule to Allow Unlimited Corporate Funding "The American people are powerless to stop corporations from influencing state and federal elections. The U.S. Supreme Court may rule on Tuesday, December 8th, or in the coming weeks, in the case of Citizens United v. FEC, that the American people are powerless to stop corporations from using corporate funds to influence state and federal elections. The restrictions on corporate expenditures in elections contained in the federal Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (known as BCRA or "McCain-Feingold") would then be violations of the First Amendment protections of free speech. To make this ruling, the ...

OUR DEAD CONSTITUTION

Our Constitution is dead. Rigor mortis set in a long time ago. Peculiar enough, many Americans who claim to love our constitution believe it is alive and well with hot red blood running through its vein. Plainly put: they are naïve, deceived or ignorant. Those who killed the constitution (and their posterity, with whom we are living today) pick up the dead corpse, move it around like a puppet on strings, put make up on it to make it look pretty, prop it up against a wall to stand on its own, and proclaim and swear an oath to us and God that they will preserve, defend and protect what they know to be dead. Ironically, they accomplish this, in part, through what they term a “living ...
Superior man arrested for trespassing on his own land

Jeremy Engelking will appear in Douglas County court this afternoon to face a trespassing charge. But here’s the kicker: The Superior man allegedly trespassed on his own property. Engelking, 27, aimed to hunt deer Wednesday morning when he noticed a pipeline crew on his land. He hopped on his ATV and told workers they had no right to be on his property because he had received no compensation from Enbridge Energy Partners L.P. for an easement. Engelking said workers told him he was in an unsafe place and asked him to come to an equipment staging area, where he continued to argue his case. But just as he was turning to leave, Engelking said an officer from the Douglas County ...
Patriot Act Renewal Moving Forward

Renewal of two controversial Patriot Act provisions set to expire at the end of the year have been approved by House and Senate Committees over the past month, and appear headed for floor votes in both bodies. President Obama has endorsed extending the provisions. The two provisions include the “records” rule and the “roving wiretaps” provision. The so-called “records” rule grants federal officials with a court order the power to force private parties such as businesses, hospitals, and libraries to hand over "any tangible thing" they believe has "relevance" to a terrorist investigation. “Roving wiretaps” allow wiretapping ...

Why you should know what it is Is it true or false that when you sit on a jury, you may vote on the verdict according to your own conscience? "True," you say, but then why do most judges tell you that you may consider "only the facts" and that you are not to let your conscience, opinion of the law, or the motives of the defendant affect your decision? In a trial by jury, the judge's job is to referee the trial and provide neutral legal advice to the jury, beginning with a full and truthful explanation of a juror's rights and responsibilities. But judges rarely "fully inform" jurors of their rights, especially their power to judge the law itself and ...

&ProgramIDWill Congress Criminalize Anti-Semitism and Israeli Criticism? - By Stephen Lendman In the current climate, perhaps given: -- America's police state laws; -- no due process or judicial fairness for any state target; -- mass illegal surveillance; -- targeting dissent; and -- the power of the Israeli Lobby over Congress, the media, academia, the clergy, and most anyone confronting them. During Israel's war on Gaza, only 5 of 535 congressional members dissented on pro-Israeli resolutions. On January 8, 2009, the Senate unanimously passed S 10: "A resolution recognizing the right of Israel to defend itself against attacks from Gaza and reaffirming the United ...

Cartoon Exposes “Hate Crimes” Law Insanity A Mallard Fillmore cartoon has caused political controversy among the politically correct, so much so that one of the cartoons’ syndicated publications, Newsday, issued an apology. After all, a large newspaper in America has an obligation to censor anything that challenges the orthodoxies of our times. We can’t have anything in our papers that make us think! To quote Newsday: Newsday issued a statement saying, “we expect the cartoons we publish, many of which are nationally syndicated, to amuse, stir and entertain, but never to offend. Hate crime is a serious issue. This nationally syndicated cartoon should never have ...

An Open Letter to Jews By John "Birdman" Bryant Let me get straight to the point, which is to ask you a question: Is it rationally possible for gentiles to think of Jews as anything other than a very negative influence on Western civilization? Sure, I know Jewish intelligence is superior, and Jewish accomplishments in many fields are outstanding. I also know that Jews generally behave as good citizens, with a low rate of crime and a high rate of prosperity. But I'm not talking about such things. I'm talking about the Jewish effect on the very medium in which all this occurs -- Western civilization. The civilization built by men who were for the most part white and ...
