Police in America: Licensed to Kill

by Stephen Lendman

Miriam Carey is the latest victim. She deserved to live, not die. More on her below.

Incidents occur daily across America. Blacks and Latinos are most vulnerable. Police shoot innocent suspects for any reason or none all.

Rarely are officers or their superiors held accountable. On average, US police kill one or two people daily. Most often, incidents go unnoticed.

Violence in America is systemic. Previous articles discussed it. America glorifies wars. It does so in the name of peace.

It has by far the highest homicide rate among all developed nations. It’s obsessed with owning guns.

Violent films are some of the most popular. So are similar video games. Peace, stability and security are convenient illusions. Imperial wars and domestic violence crowd them out.

Communities, neighborhoods, schools, work places, commercial areas and city streets are affected. Driving while black is dangerous.

A 1999 ACLU report discussed it. Titled “Driving While Black: Racial Profiling On Our Nation’s Highways,” it said:

It’s longstanding practice in America. In 1967, dozens of witnesses told Kerner Commission members that “stopping of Negroes on foot or in cars without obvious basis” was a key reason for riots the previous summer in cities across America.

The Fourth Amendment assures “(t)he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.”

The Eight Amendment prohibits “cruel and unusual punishments.”

What’s crueler than state-sponsored cold-blooded murder.

The Fifth Amendment prohibits “depriv(ing) (anyone) of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

The 14th Amendment forbids states from “depriv(ing) any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” It affirms “equal protection of the laws.”

Police across America spurn constitutional and US statute laws. They do so with impunity. According to ACLU:

Shock: Comparing deaths from medical drugs, vitamins, and all US wars

People want to believe medical science gives us, at any given moment, the best of all possible worlds.

And of course, the best of all possible worlds must have its enemies: the quacks who sell unproven snake oil.

So let’s look at some facts.

As I’ve been documenting in my last several articles, the medical cartel has been engaged in massive criminal fraud, presenting their drugs as safe and effective across the board—when, in fact, these drugs have been killing and maiming huge numbers of people, like clockwork.

I’ve cited the review, “Is US Health Really the Best in the World?”, by Dr. Barbara Starfied (Journal of the American Medical Association, July 26, 2000), in which Starfield reveals the American medical system kills 225,000 people per year—106,000 as a direct result of pharmaceutical drugs.

IF the Late Juan Linz Called It Right, American Democracy May Collapse Soon

“In a merciful twist of fate, Juan Linz did not quite live to see his prophecy of the demise of American democracy borne out. Linz, the Spanish political scientist who died last week, argued that the presidential system, with its separate elections for legislature and chief executive, was inherently unstable. In a famous 1990 essay, Linz observed, “All such systems are based on dual democratic legitimacy: No democratic principle exists to resolve disputes between the executive and the legislature about which of the two actually represents the will of the people.” Presidential systems veered ultimately toward collapse everywhere they were tried, as legislators and executives vied for supremacy. There was only one notable exception: the United States of America.”

Is there a way to settle the shut-down and debt-ceiling dispute? The answer is in this especially frightening conclusion to this article:

Marcus Aurelius: Axis of Evil 2013 — Is Washington In Enemy Hands?

Corruption, Government, Idiocy

“A picture is worth a thousand words” and “you can't make this stuff up.” But nothing I can think of illustrates the root causes and relative potential impacts of government shutdown as well as following Mike Luckovich cartoon which just happened to appear in today's Washington Post. Elegant in its simplicity, it addresses truths that commentators like Thomas Sowell conveniently overlook. Would make one hell of a propaganda leaflet to be dropped over all major concentrations of Federal employees in the country as well as all pockets of poverty. Boehner might have problems getting elected dogcatcher, let alone getting continued as Speaker.

“Wild Mouse” DC Shooting, an Overwhelming Smell

“We Ain’t Buyin’ None of It”

By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor

Yesterday, I was asked to comment on the DC shooting rampage by Russia Today and Press TV.  Reports told of a “terrorist” jumping out of a car and holding a raging gun battle with beleaguered unpaid defenders of America.

Now we find that a dental hygienist who never had a parking ticket, unarmed, baby in the back seat, was gunned down by dozens of heavily armed counter-terrorism groups from around the nation, in Washington on a “training exercise.”

I just can’t take this anymore.

Wasn’t it a few days ago another African America, this one a Buddhist, DOD contractor, the “perp” in the Navy Yard incident?

I keep going back to Sandy Hook:

  • Mom was a teacher…then she wasn’t.
  • Mom was found dead in the school, then she wasn’t
  • Suspect killed his brother in New Jersey, then didn’t.
  • The shooter was a student at the school, then he wasn’t.
  • He drove his car, then it turned out to belong to someone else.
  • School psychologist “looked in his eyes,” then only “saw his shoes”
  • FBI agents onsite spoke to each other in Hebrew
  • Original suspect was dressed as a nun, then no longer existed
  • Other suspects arrested in video “chase”
  • They then they disappeared, unnamed, no arrest records, no police reports
  • Invisible “nun” fled in a van to a safehouse in New York
  • Safehouse was watched for days, then found to be home for two Israeli’s publishing white supremacist literature
  • Safehouse had weapons magazines (clips) but no weapons
  • Suspect shooter bought guns, trained on ranges but no records nor videos exist and all gun stores and ranges video EVERYTHING
  • Full forensic report was promised in 30 days, then 6 months now “when hell freezes over”
  • Hell has frozen over and still no report

We don’t even want to begin with the Gifford’s shooting.  I stopped believing 9/11 when the F 15′s tasked with shooting down airliners that could have been hijacked and crashed into stadiums with over 100,000 dead, flew around aimlessly, untrained pilots, even landed and took off again, then crashed into buildings.

Two of them had no wreckage or bodies, one of them actually flew 15 feet underground, crossing the Potomac River through the sewer system it seems.

The Gifford’s fiasco, police arrived in 45 minutes though twelve police were scheduled to be “onsite” including 3 mounted units for crowd control.  All had “blue flu” that day.  This is one of about 300 “inconsistencies.

The shooter?  He had belonged to a special military “pre-enlistment program” for mentally deficient prospects that offered free psychiatric care and medication.

He was the only one to belong to this program, though we suspect others, Dr. Hassan for instance, perhaps a few more.  Guess who they were?

YouTube – Veterans Today –

A criminal jury in Britain viewed this film at the trial of John Anthony Hill and deemed the information contained as both reasonable and true.

What does this mean?

Well, riddle me this:

You are holding a terror drill.  You hire an Israeli company.  Not unreasonable.  They do these things.

The Israeli company hires young Muslims to carry backpacks filled with simulated explosives, actors to participate in the “drill.”

The underground/metro/subway cars the “actors” were riding in were destroyed by bombs, later to have been found to have been buried under the tracks though police still claim they were in the actors backpacks.

Read that one twice.

Other evidence strongly suggests that at least one other “actor” found his backpack had real explosives in it.  Watch the film.

Prettymuch every recent terror attack is similar.

Where the hell are the real terrorists and crazed lone gunmen?

Saudi black op team behind Damascus chem weapons attack – diplomatic sources

The August chemical weapons attack in the Syrian capital’s suburbs was done by a Saudi Arabian black operations team, Russian diplomatic sources have told a Russian news agency.

 

“Based on data from a number of sources a picture can be pieced together. The criminal provocation in Eastern Ghouta was done by a black op team that the Saudi’s sent through Jordan and which acted with support of the Liwa Al-Islam group,” a source in the diplomatic circles told Interfax.

The attack and its consequences had a huge impact on the Syrian situation, another source said.

“Syrians of various political views, including some opposition fighters, are seeking to inform diplomats and members of international organizations working in Syria what they know about the crime and the forces which inspired it,” he told the agency.

Liwa Al-Islam is an Islamist armed group operating near Damascus headed by the son of a Saudi-based Salafi cleric. The group claimed responsibility for the bombing of a secret governmental meeting in Damascus in July 2012 that killed a number of top Syrian officials, including Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha, his deputy Asef Shawkat, and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmani.

The allegations mirror a number of earlier reports, which pointed to Saudi Arabia as the mastermind behind the sarin gas attack, which almost led to US military action against Syrian government. Proponents of this scenario say intelligence services in Riyadh needed a false flag operation to provoke an American attack in Syria, which would tip the balance in favor of the armed opposition supported by Saudi Arabia.
