Last month, the Utah House voted 68-6 to prohibit state officials from complying with REAL ID. A couple dozen states have passed resolutions protesting the federal Act, but the Utah law would have more teeth. If more states join, we might see a real confrontation with national policy. (more…)
At roughly 2:15 am on Nov 2, Vincent Sims and I were crossing the intersection of Highland Ave on Water St when two police officers yelled from half a block away for us to stop and talk to them. Up until this point, Vincent and I had done nothing wrong and had no reason to be included in any sort of police investigation.
I told the officers from a distance that we had done nothing wrong and therefore were not interested in having a discussion. As mentioned, it was 2:15 am and we were in the process of hailing a cab. The moment I turned away from the officers, they both proceeded to sprint in my direction and forcibly restrain and handcuff me. Without any sort of explanation, I was thrown in the back of a squad car and driven to a nearby station. Vincent was left on the sidewalk having no idea why I had been abducted. (more…)
The WOU student who was falsely arrested and charged with possession of a firearm in a public building, had all his criminal charges dropped by the Polk County DA tonight.(02-10-2009)
The DA admitted no wrongdoing on his part, or on the part of the police who arrested Jeff Maxwell for a “crime” that does not exist.
In a statement released to OFF’s attorney, the DA said “I believe the Monmouth Police Department issued the citation in good faith and that there was an arguable violation. However, a careful reading of the statute and the facts led me to conclude the charge was not in the best interest of justice.”
“Not in the best interest of justice.” There was NO CRIME. But it gets worse. Much worse.
The college still got to “try” Jeff Maxwell. And they did tonight.
The tribunal that tried Marine veteran Jeffery Maxwell laughed after suspending him from Western Oregon University and sentencing him to: The college still got to “try” Jeff Maxwell. And they did tonight. (02-10-2009)
The tribunal that tried Marine veteran Jeffery Maxwell laughed after suspending him from Western Oregon University and sentencing him to:
a “psychological evaluation stating he is not a threat to himself of others” and
a mandatory “ten page paper” ” with references, “citing, but not limited to:
1) the importance of following the law,even through civil disobedience.
2) the importance of accepting responsibility for one’s actions
3) and recognizing the impact possession of weapons on college campuses has on others.”
So, Maxwell has been told his lawful possession of a firearm on campus is evidence of mental illness and he must “confess his sins.” Welcome to the new Politburo. Maxwell may as well been judged by the Hitler youth for his “thought crimes.”
Jeffery Maxwell’s “jury” were four unnamed students and one staff member of WOU.
The “prosecutor” was Patrick Moser moserp@wou.edu “Acting Coordinator of Campus Judicial Affairs”
Maxwell asked to have his “trial” open to the public, which is his right, but was denied.
The tribunal was told repeatedly that they lacked the authority to impose a rule dealing with firearms. But the children who sat in judgment of the veteran were not interested in the law or the facts. They were only interested in attacking and embarrassing a man who had committed no crime but had chosen to exercise his right to protect himself and others.
The “trial” was a sham. No one present even seemed to know what the “charge” was. When confronted by the fact that the school has no authority to make rules about firearms, they said that was “not relevant.” Then they said they were not charging Maxwell with having a firearm. When asked what they WERE charging him with, they seemed to not know. They then said they were charging him with having a “knife and a rifle in his car.” When told they had no authority to make rules about guns in his car, they said THAT was not “relevant.”
The children who sat on Maxwell’s “jury” and their staff advisors seemed to have no idea what they were actually charging Maxwell with. But they had no problem sentencing him. Gun owners, and all Americans should be outraged.
OFF is committed to continuing Maxwell’s defense. We are shocked and disgusted by the treatment he received by the staff and the students of WOU,
We ask your continued support of our legal battle for Jeff Maxwell. We promised Jeff what he promised the men he served with. We will not leave him behind.
The House overwhelmingly adopted legislation this week mandating the creation of a new kind of terrorist watchlist: a database of people who aren’t terrorists, but are routinely flagged at airports anyway.
The U.S. government maintains a list of about a million names of suspected terrorists that is crosschecked with passenger names ahead of airline boarding. The list has been dogged for years by sloppy name matches that have ensnared innocent travelers, children, prominent politicians and government officials, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ secretary of education and all men namedDavid Nelson.
Under the new plan, approved late Tuesday 413-3, innocent victims of the terrorist watchlist must prove to the Department of Homeland Security, through an undetermined appeals process, that they are not terrorists. They would then get their names put on what the legislation calls the “Comprehensive Cleared List.”
The legislation is another attempt to assist wrongly flagged passengers and would supersede the troubled DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry Program, which has been criticized for being slow or unresponsive to flier complaints.
The FAST Redress Act, if approved by the Senate, requires the government to report within 240 days on its progress in implementing the new list.

While waiting for their fish sandwiches in a parking space close to the building, Pastor Dave saw two teen boys skating in the parking lot. Thinking about the event that was just a little over a day away, Pastor Dave called out the window, “Hey kids, come here.” He wanted to tell them about Jesus and invite them to the event.The boys, one thirteen-and-a-half, the other turning fourteen that month, did not go over to the truck.

November 5, 2008 (Columbia County, GA) - Freedom Fighter Radio Host , Jim Stach, was stopped and arrested on the evening of November 4, 2008 as he was driving by a polling place in Columbia County, GA. Stach had gone to vote in his own precinct wearing a Fire Congress t-shirt, carrying an upside down flag and wearing an empty gun holster, in a silent form of protest. He was told he could not wear the shirt into the polling place, as it violated campaigning laws. Stach returned wearing a different shirt and was allowed to vote.
Stach, whose radio show(heard on talkshoe.com) deals with American freedoms and liberties and dispensing information that is not covered by the mainstream news networks, is very knowledgeable about the Constitution and carries an upside down flag because he feels our country is in distress. He sees this as peaceful and gives people the opportunity to approach him and ask questions without him disturbing them.
Read what the local media’s spin on this Click Here
As the silent protest went well and he was allowed to vote at his precinct, Stach went driving around to other areas. A lady who was offended that he would be flying his flag Union down approached him, and he had the opportunity to engage in a peaceful conversation about his thoughts on the direction of the country. As Stach left the area, he was pulled over and was questioned about the incident. Up to approximately 6 police cars came to the scene and 12 officers, after Stach was stopped. Stach was cooperative as they questioned him and they took the opportunity to search his car. Upon speaking with the accusing lady, Stach was arrested for causing a disturbance.
Stach has been released and his court date is December 10, 2008. Anyone who feels they can be of help in the matter or is interested in speaking with him is encouraged to call 706-394-8019.

After distributing a jocular flyer listing “Top Ten Gun Safety Tips” at the school’s “club rush,” a student group was threatened with probation and derecognition at Lone Star College–Tomball, a public college near Houston. After college officials banned the Young Conservatives of Texas from distributing the flyer, the school’s general counsel invoked the specter of the Virginia Tech shootings, suggesting that even a “mention of firearms and weapons” is inherently a “material interference” with the school’s operations. The case has received media attention from the Houston Press and the Volokh Conspiracy.

Officer To Protesting Reporter: ‘I Can Do Whatever I Want’
After a week of bloody shootings in the city of Newark, family members of the victims killed by gun violence marched in front of churches Sunday to ask the clergy for help.
The march ended, however, when a Newark police officer put a CBS 2 photographer in a choke hold, handcuffed him, and put him in the back of a police car.
What started as a peaceful demonstration by parents whose children were murdered on the streets of Newark turned violent.
“Put your hands behind your back,” the officer said. “He’s going with me. Put your hands behind your back.”
When CBS 2 HD’s reporter on the scene, Christine Sloan, protested and said he couldn’t arrest the cameraman, the officer said, “I can do whatever I want.”
The camera kept rolling, as the officer put CBS 2 photographer Jim Quodomine in the choke hold and placed him under arrest.
Witnesses took pictures of the incident and told CBS 2 HD what they saw.
“He went to put the camera down,” witness Latrice Smith said. “Before he had the opportunity to [do so], the police officer came and knocked it down.
“[The officer] just started grabbing him, putting handcuffs on him, grabbed him by the neck,” Smith said. “It was out of control for no reason.”

“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.” – James Madison, “Federalist No. 45,” Jan. 26, 1788
Last week, with the blessing of Bush and most of the U.S. Congress, the robber banker barons threw gasoline onto a bonfire. The financial Mt. Vesuvius hasn’t blown yet, but it will, and what was done last week and most likely through today, will be horrific. America has crossed the Rubicon.
Rage continues to build across this country with good reason. It was building back in October, 2003, when I wrote my column, It’s All Over Grab the Muskets. Change comes one city, one town, one county at a time. If you don’t try, the bad guys win by default. Great success has come from groups and organizations all over this country on issues like Agenda 21 because all politics are local. We have two levels of government: federal and state. If the states of the Union do not step up to the plate come January and repel the destruction of their sovereignty by the federal machine, they will become nothing more than occupied territories.

Ah, yes. Public eduction has performed an essential wonder, that is a wonder in the minds of our globalist rulers: Nearly half (49%) of Americans think the president has the authority to suspend the Constitution, according to Rick Shenkman’s new book, “Just How Stupid Are We?: Facing the Truth About the American Voter.”
Other astounding and disturbing facts:
– Only 2 in 5 voters can name the three branches of the federal government.
– Only 1 in 7 can find Iraq on a map.
– Only 1 in 5 know that there are 100 federal senators.
I can forgive them for not knowing the number of senators, but not knowing the three branches of government?
If true, we are indeed screwed. Because the populace is woefully ignorant of the very foundation of our constitutional republic — a trias politica, the three branches of government, intended to prevent one branch from reigning supreme and ushering in tyranny, a situation now manifest as Bush, the neocon puppet, essentially declares the executive a dictatorship. Not only are they unaware of the system of checks and balances, they think — that is, when they bother to think — that Bush has the right to declare himself dictator.
No doubt the American people will get what they deserve — and they will get tyranny, they will become slaves, members of a new servile feudal class.
Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis Attacks Student Cleared of Racial Harassment
July 8, 2008
FIRE Press Release
INDIANAPOLIS, July 8, 2008 Two months ago, in the face of withering public criticism, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) revoked its original finding that student-employee Keith John Sampson had committed racial harassment by reading a book at work that celebrated the defeat of the Ku Klux Klan in a 1924 street brawl. Now, IUPUI is claiming that Sampson was in fact punished for some other behavior, but the school refuses to reveal any details of this alleged conduct. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is calling on IUPUI to either reveal and prove this alleged offense or stop publicly smearing its own student.
“This looks like a classic example of a college making things worse in an unprincipled attempt to save face,” FIRE Vice President Robert Shibley said. “IUPUI’s own letters to Sampson made clear that his reading a book about the Ku Klux Klan was the problem, and the university claims to have completely exonerated him of all charges. If so, why are its spokespeople now telling TheWall Street Journal that the problem was really some other mysterious conduct that the university will not reveal to anyone, including Sampson himself?”
Sampson’s ordeal began in November 2007, when he was notified by Lillian Charleston of IUPUI’s Affirmative Action Office that two co-workers had filed a racial harassment complaint against him. The office alleged that by reading a book about the KKK in the break room, Sampson had engaged in racial harassment. Sampson attempted to explain that the book, Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan, was a historical account of a 1924 incident in which a group of University of Notre Dame students fought in the streets with members of the Ku Klux Klan. This explanation was ignored, and he later received a letter from Charleston stating that he was guilty of racial harassment for “openly reading the book related to a historically and racially abhorrent subject.”
Yet according to an article in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, the university’s “official story” has now become that Sampson’s reading material had nothing to do with the guilty finding. Instead, university relations officials claimed that some undisclosed “harassing behavior” had led to the charge. As columnist Dorothy Rabinowitz wrote, “What the behavior was, one learned, could never be revealed.”
IUPUI’s handling of the case was flawed from the beginning. After the ACLU of Indiana wroteto IUPUI twice demanding that the finding be removed from Sampson’s file, IUPUI responded with a letter from Charleston to Sampson that neither reversed the guilty finding nor apologized for the damage to Sampson’s reputation. Then, in March 2008, FIRE wrote to IUPUI Chancellor Charles R. Bantz, insisting that Sampson’s record be expunged and that IUPUI apologize for its handling of the incident.
In April, FIRE received a letter from Bantz, stating that IUPUI “regret[s] this situation took place.” The letter also confirmed that no documents regarding the incident are in Sampson’s file and that IUPUI hoped that “this experience as well as feedback from the campus community will result in an improved [complaint] process.”
Following that exchange, FIRE publicly declared victory in the case, but IUPUI has apparently now chosen to resort to unsubstantiated and mysterious secret charges against Sampson when questioned about the case.
“If IUPUI really thought that Sampson had engaged in some ‘racially harassing’ behavior rather than reading a book, there is no reason why they would not have brought it up at the time and no reason why they couldn’t say what it is now,” Shibley said. “This apparent whispering campaign against Sampson is truly appalling. IUPUI has either brazenly violated due process by finding a student guilty without a hearing and without even letting him know the allegations against him or, more likely, is lying in an attempt to stave off further embarrassment. Either way, the school has bitterly betrayed one of its own students.”

On the afternoon of June 7th long time activist Jim Stachowiak and friends were speaking out against the open border, pro – amnesty policies of public servant Senator Lindsey Graham during a campaign stop in Columbia, South Carolina.
Stachowiak’s small group was there to bring awareness to the crisis of illegal immigration and the intentional dismantling of U.S. sovereignty. Two issues you would expect a self-proclaimed pro family values conservative Republican and his supporters to defend. However on this day at the Sterling Garden Center these outspoken proponents of Constitutional rights would experience a contradiction in conservative values from Graham’s pro – amnesty supporters, as many attendees of the event took the time to hurl curse words popular with Vice President Dick Cheney toward the group as they walked into the campaign event.
One Graham supporter was so enraged witness’s claim she aimed her silver G35 Infinity at Stachowiak and his group. Fortunately Stachowiak was able to get his friend seen in the video out of the path of the vehicle but he was slightly grazed as the car passed. The vehicle bearing the plate “Airport Commission 3” parked nearby, the occupants an older man and women preceded into the Graham campaign event, when the victims asked the driver about her reckless behavior the elderly man with her paused only to say, “We don’t know what you are talking about.”
Concerned about safety, Stachowiak approached an officer with the Department of Homeland Security parked less than 100 feet away to request assistance. The officer claimed not to have seen the incident and would not take a report or investigate. Unable to get any help from the apathetic DHS officer Stachowiak called 911 only to wait one hour for two City of Columbia police officers to arrive who also showed little interest in investigating the minor hit and run.
Stachowiak is in the process of filing a report with the City of Columbia office of Internal Affairs concerning the day’s events. When asked about the dangers of speaking out at public events,
Stachowiak said, “One must be willing to stand up and take risk to protect the rights earned by those who made great sacrifice for our freedoms.”
While protesting Lindsey Graham outside one of his campaign fundraising dinners, we encountered several hostile Lindsey Graham supporters. One man came across the road and swore at us (”F*** you”), in a clear display of Christian family values flaunted by Lindsey Graham and his supporters. Another car of supporters physically tried to drive through us while we stood on the sidewalk in a clear attempt of aggression. At the beginning of the protest, the first cop on the scene told us that we were fine were we where, and told us we weren’t on the road and as such we were fine. These cops say we were on the road and didn’t even consult with the first police officer. These police refused to even take an incident report, in a clear display of selective enforcement as we were threatened with arrest for using a bullhorn earlier.

Lone Protester- An Abuse of Power
It is D-Day +2. Operation Overlord is advancing with all five beachheads at Normandy firmly in Allied hands. 150,000 American, British and Canadian soldiers are ashore with over 6,000 ships offshore and 13,000 aircraft are overhead in support. Allied units are in assembly areas preparing for the assault onto the European mainland. Meanwhile, in England , General George Patton is readying the US Third Army to be the spearhead. In Southern Europe, American forces are entering Rome and in the South Pacific, MacArthur and Nimitz are on the prowl for Japanese forces. The invasion of Saipan is days away and the Marianas Turkey Shoot is occurring in the Philippine Sea with hundreds of Japanese planes shot down and two carriers sunk. We have sustained approximately 30,000 American casualties worldwide so far during that 48 hours.
And 64 years to the day later I am watching an abuse of power by US Homeland Security and the Columbia , SC Police Department. We are outside the Sterling Garden Center in Columbia protesting Senator Lindsey Graham and his liberal policies even though he claims to be a conservative Republican. I watch a man and his wife pull into the parking lot where we are protesting, which is guaranteed under the US Constitution. She sideswipes two American citizens. She gets out of her car along with her husband and she screams out F#%k You! and slams the door of her car right in front of two police officers. She and her husband go inside to support Lindsey Graham. Jim Stachs of Freedom Fighter Radio and Virginia are almost flattened onto the pavement because of this woman’s actions. When they try to press charges against her, an officer from our celebrated Department of Homeland Security refuses to allow the police officers to file a complaint.
The woman is the wife of one of Columbia ’s elite. Her husband is a commissioner at our airport and the license plate reads Airport Commissioner car #3. These police officers, two of Columbia ’s finest, refuse to write up a ticket or take this woman to jail. They threaten us, tell us to back up. They listen to a Homeland Security officer, his last name is Frederick , issue them an unlawful order to not file charges. And they obey him. They do not listen to the two people that were physically hit and verbally assaulted, no, they listen to someone who has no authority. I just wonder what they would have done if I had uttered the words “you cheap bastard”? This is the state of affairs, currently in the USA , 64 years after ten of thousands of Americans have given their lives for this country. A Homeland Security officer has given an illegal order (shades of Nazi Germany) and our law enforcement officials obey without question. To hell with what the citizens want, and demand, and what our laws say, the elites must be obeyed without question, even if it circumvents the US Constitution.
And you wonder why the American people are angry? Our newspapers exist because of the protections under free speech. Yet they condemn us because we protest under that same Constitution. We are guaranteed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, yet a Homeland Security official has the power to order our police officials to not enforce the law. A woman, who does not like that we are protesting her Senator, screams curse words at us, hits us with her car, and she is not taken to jail. That is simply an abuse of power, and I invite everyone that reads this letter to call our new Police Chief, our Mayor and our airport and demand that this man be fired because of the actions of his wife. He was beside her, in the car with her and was complicit in her actions. It is called aiding and abetting a crime.
This is the state of affairs in Columbia , SC. If you are part of the elite here, you get a free pass from breaking our laws. If you advocate for illegal aliens and their criminalemployers, you get a free pass. On the other hand, if you are like me, Jim Stachs or Virginia, complaints are ignored because you are not one of the elite. They will put me in jail for uttering a curse word but they will ignore the curse words of a woman because she and her husband are supporting Lindsey Graham. We do not matter because our voices are not loud enough. Because of this man’s job and his position in our community, law enforcement will not take his wife to jail. Because of his position he gets a free pass. His wife gets a free pass. Is this America ? The home of the brave and land of the free? Or is this a police state, where ours laws are enforced when our elites are inconvenienced?
Is it okay for our elites to curse and commit crimes but not the rest of us? Is it okay for Senator Lindsey Graham to advocate for anarchy and amnesty? Is it okay for one of our elites to scream curse words at us, hit US citizens with her car, with her husbands complicity and not be taken to jail? Is it okay for a Homeland Security officer to order our police to not enforce our laws? Is it okay for those police officer’s superiors to agree with that officers order?
I do not think so. Than man should be fired from his job at our airport. His wife needs to be in jail along with her husband and the two officers that listened to that ignorant Homeland Security officer Frederick. I demand that Mayor Bob Coble and our new police chief fire those people. And Officer Frederick of Homeland Security should be fired also because they are not upholding our laws under the US Constitution. When they support the elites and forget We The People, then this isn’t America anymore. This is a dictatorship, plain and simple. This is a country that is governed by a few jerks, that have forfeited the right of Constitutional law, because they are the ones in power. I do not care that Mayor Bob Coble has been Mayor of Columbia for years or that our new Police Chief has only been in office for a few weeks, I demand that both of you resign because because you are lackeys. You simply enforce laws that you feel comfortable with and not the laws under the US Constitution. You both feel free to select what laws which you will enforce and leave it up to South Carolinians to defend themselves.
You both feel free to enforce the laws against Americans but you feel free to not enforce the laws as enacted under our Constitution! You feel free to not arrest the wife of a Columbia Airport official, who aids and abets her crime, yet you will arrest me who called one of your supporters a cheap bastard! You both advocate for anarchy, yet you have forfeited your rights to hold office. You will enforce some laws but you forfeit your obligation to uphold all laws. Under our Constitution and our state laws.
It is okay for your supporters to break our laws but not your opponents. It is okay for you to advocate for illegal aliens and their employers but not for your opponents to demand that our laws be upheld. It is okay for your supporters to treat the citizens like dirt, but it is not okay for us to protest your insane policies. It is okay for your supporters to curse us and intentionally hit us with their cars because you will give them a free pass.
But I say to you, to hell with your selective enforcement of our laws, to hell with your advocating for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, to hell with your advocating with their employers. You are breaking our laws, and you are the Mayor and Police Chief of Columbia , SC ! You are two dirt bags and criminals, pure and simple and you both deserve to be in jail and not representing the citizens of the great state of South Carolina .
And Senator Lindsey Graham, you are a piece of crap. You hide inside that building, see what happens outside and you keep your mouth shut. You are a piece of crap from the word go. You are so worried about keeping your office that you close your eyes to what is happening outside. It is very important for you to stay in office because that is your overriding concern. Nothing matters more to you than holding onto your office and betraying the citizens of South Carolina. It does not matter to you that two of your citizens was hit by one of your supporters, what matters to you is to remain in office and kiss John McCain’s backside. What matters to you is to stay in office and to continue to call us bigots and to tell us to shut up! You are the epitome of Benedict Arnold, in every form.
Agencies are required by the directive to make available for sharing with other agencies… all biometric and associated biographical information for individuals about whom authorities have an “articulable and reasonable suspicion that they pose a threat to national security.” 06 Jun 2008 The Bush administration has required agencies to increase their capability to share among themselves biometric information on people believed to pose a threat to national security. A presidential directive issued June 5, 2008 requires the increased compatibility of methods agencies use to collect, store and share fingerprints, face and iris recognition data and behavioral characteristics to identify and screen “known and suspected terrorists.” The directive also applies to other categories of individuals the directive said would be identified soon who may also pose a threat to national security.
Yet another instance of cops acting like predatory pack animals. It should be obvious by now the police are out of control, a parasitical force unleashed on society at large. Cops no longer help granny across the street or respond to burglary. Cops are like the Crips, Bloods, or Mara Salvatrucha — another violent street gang, but one armed and supported by the state.
“A half-dozen police officers kicked and beat three men pulled from a car during a traffic stop as a TV helicopter taped the confrontation,” reports the Associated Press. ” The video, shot by WTXF-TV, shows three police cars stopping a car Monday, two days after a city officer was shot to death responding to a bank robbery.”
In other words, after a fellow gang member was shot and killed protecting a bank, the largest gang in Philadelphia wanted revenge and blood. Of course, that’s the real job of the cops — protect banks, not the public at large, considered the enemy.
“The tape shows about a dozen officers gathering around the vehicle. About a half-dozen officers hold two of the men on the ground. Both are kicked repeatedly, while one is seen being punched; one also appears to be struck with a baton.”
“On the surface it certainly does not look good in terms of the amount of force that was used,” Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said. “But we don’t want to rush to judgment.”
No, of course not, even though the video plainly shows there was absolutely no reason for members of the police gang to savagely beat the three hapless people pictured.
“The officers were responding to a report of a shooting nearby, police said. It was not immediately clear what preceded the confrontation.”
It does not matter “what preceded the confrontation,” as it is obvious the motorists were not a threat. Once upon a time, cops handcuffed and arrested people accused of crimes. Now they are beaten to a pulp.
“We don’t take into consideration the emotions of police officers when it comes to the discharge of their duties… Your emotional state, being tired, doesn’t justify what’s on that video,” said D. Scott Perrine, an attorney who represents the three men seen in the video. “He said one of his clients suffered a welt on his head the size of a baseball and one of his legs was seriously injured; he didn’t know the extent of any injuries on the other two men.”
“It clearly shows a lack of any reasonable investigation before these police yank these individuals out of the car and take turns delivering blows,” he said. “This is a time for a thorough investigation to see what it is that happened here.”
Sort of like the “thorough investigation” of the cops who shot to death Sean Bell in New York. An unarmed Bell had fifty rounds pumped into him as he was leaving his bachelor party on his wedding day. Three detectives were acquitted of all charges in the case last month, thus sending a message – cops are above the law, they may shoot unarmed people with immunity.
“The defense painted the victims as drunken thugs who the officers believed were armed and dangerous. Prosecutors sought to convince the judge that the victims had been minding their own business, and that the officers were inept, trigger-happy cowboys,” reported the Associated Press.
Fact is, the cops involved are not “cowboys,” they are violent gang members, as New York has the largest cop-gang in the country.
It will only get worse. Cops are now trained to consider citizens as the enemy and the feds are arming them like paramilitaries – or maybe that should be death squads. Iraqi veterans, driven insane by multiple tours, are now filling their ranks.
“Perrine said that police told him all three men would be charged with aggravated assault,” even though it is obvious by the video here that the men did not attack the police. Increasingly, that is the MO — victims of police violence are charged with assault and resisting arrest.

I wonder how so many terrorist were able to penetrate our Nation to possibly harm our American People and our children? Could it be because this Nation has had a wide open border policy that has let drug dealers and possible terrorist to enter this Nation? Leon
We are probably all on that list Leon! This gov. is out of control and puts actual terrorists ahead of their own citizens…What is wrong with this picture??? Virginia
I wonder how many of these names are the same names who signed the petition which currently has 1,000,000 names calling for the impeachment of President George Bush??? Jim (host of Freedom Fighter Radio)
The FBI now keeps a list of over 900,000 names belonging to known or suspected terrorists, the American Civil Liberties Union said today.
If that number is accurate, it would be an all-time high, exponentially more than the 100,000 names on the list several years ago. But the number needs to be taken with a grain of salt: after all, the ACLU doesn’t keep the list, the FBI does, and the bureau doesn’t generally like to talk about it. (Indeed, the FBI has not yet responded to a request for comment for this post.)
But if the ACLU’s figure isn’t accurate, it’s also unlikely to be off by that much. Last September, the ACLU notes, the Department of Justice’s Inspector General reported the FBI watch list was at 700,000 names, and growing at 20,000 names per month.
The ACLU says they “extrapolated” from those figures to determine the list’s current size. ACLU’s Barry Steinhardt added that the group had spoken privately with people familiar with the watch list, who told them the 900,000 figure was not outlandish.
In the past, The FBI has told ABC News that the size of its watch list is classified. Despite that, both the bureau and the DoJ Inspector General have published the total figure in unclassified reports.
There’s no doubt the FBI’s list is growing: just last June, ABC News reported it was at 509,000 names, based on information in an unclassified FBI budget document.
But strangely, the list may be growing not because of swelling legions of foreign terrorists. Instead, it appears the FBI may be adding tens of thousands of names belonging to U.S. persons it suspects of being domestic terrorists — people who have no known ties to international terrorist organizations.
A separate entity, the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), keeps a list of all names believed to belong to terrorists linked to international terror groups. That list, which was at 100,000 names in 2003, grew to 465,000 names by last June “ but since then has grown only modestly, according to NCTC spokesman Carl Kropf. Today, Kropf said that list stands at roughly 500,000 names. (Unlike the FBI, the NCTC does not maintain that the size of its watch list is classified information.)
The FBI takes that list and adds to it a new collection of names which belong to U.S. persons believed to be domestic terrorists: people who have links to terrorism but not to any international group.
Last June, the NCTC was responsible for putting 465,000 names on the watch list, and the FBI appeared to add an additional 44,000. By September, extrapolating from the DoJ Inspector General’s report, the FBI’s contribution appears to have grown to somewhere north of 200,000 names.
Today “ if the ACLU is to be believed “ the FBI’s contribution may be as high as 417,000 names. Which would raise a new question: Where are so many domestic terrorists coming from? Or do they simply use more aliases than foreign terrorists?
Update: The FBI responded late Wednesday afternoon. Spokesman Chad Kolton did not dispute the ACLU’s figure, but noted that the watch list contains names, aliases and name variations for individuals. The number of people on the watch list, he said, was around 300,000, and only 5 percent are U.S. persons. Kolton noted that the list is “regularly reviewed for accuracy.” Last year the bureau removed 100,000 records “related to people cleared of any nexus with terrorism,” Kolton said.
Oh yeah…that’s right…he probably doesn’t. War is obscene. Torture is obscene. Stealing people’s resources is obscene. Poisoning the earth for millions of years with depleted uranium weapons is obscene. Spending billions of dollars to promote death, while there is poverty, homelessness, disease and despair aplenty in your own hometown is obscene. These are far greater obscenities than a simple four-letter word, and yet the perpetrators of those crimes are not only allowed their freedom, they are supported in their profiteering by law enforcement officials all over the country who must scour pamphlets and call for reinforcements in order to find something, anything, that will trump the Constitution and stifle dissent.
said on Saturday U.S. telecommunications companies have agreed to cooperate “for the time being” with spy agencies’ wiretaps, despite an ongoing battle between the White House and Congress over new terrorism surveillance legislation. The Justice Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a joint statement saying wiretaps will resume under the current law “at least for now.”
Technology used to physically and mentally harass a victim:
Directed energy weapons (DEW)
Mcrowave hearing (voice-to-skull/V2S/V2K)
Psycho-electronic mind control
Electronic harassment is the remote use of directed energy weapons, microwave hearing technology, and electronic mind control technology to physically and mentally harass a victim.
Directed energy weapons, or DEWs, are weapons based on electromagnetic and acoustic technology that can inflict a variety of effects on biological subjects, including sleep deprivation, annoying tingling sensations, heating effects, laser-like burns, sharp pains that feel like electrical shocks, heart attack like symptoms, and even death. Microwave hearing, also known as voice-to-skull, V2S or V2K, is the use of pulsed microwave electromagnetic energy to induce sounds directly into the auditory cortex, bypassing the ear drums. Psycho-electronic mind control is the use of remote neural monitoring and electronic brain link technology to monitor brainwave thought patterns and affect mood control and subliminal suggestion.
This can arguably be characterized as the most devastating crime in American history. Most victims of this don’t know they’re being subjected to mind control technology. Because it’s in the wrong hands it has changed America as a whole in a sordid respect. This technology is in the hands of a few undercover individuals who not only thrive off the power of exerting control over another person, but achieve a significant financial gain as an “organized perpetrator.” This psycho-electronic harassment invades the mind of an individual. The perpetrator then takes the information acquired and utilizes it to his own personal benefit. This includes, among other things, sexual gratification and appropriating personal information of the victim.
Electronic harassment causes psychological torture and feelings of rage. This is why there are so many unexplainable crimes in America as a whole and in poverty-ridden and drug-infested neighborhoods in particular.
