FBI Uses Forensic “Junk Science” to Imprison Citizens

FBI, DOJ And Their Forensic Scientists State They’ll Continue Using Discredited Junk Science To Put People Behind Bars

 

 

The questions that DNA analysis had raised about the scientific validity of traditional forensic disciplines and testimony based on them led, naturally, to increased efforts to test empirically the reliability of the methods that those disciplines employed. Relevant studies that followed included:

• a 2002 FBI re-examination of microscopic hair comparisons the agency’s scientists had performed in criminal cases, in which DNA testing revealed that 11 percent of hair samples found to match microscopically actually came from different individuals;

• a 2004 National Research Council report, commissioned by the FBI, on bullet-lead evidence, which found that there was insufficient research and data to support drawing a definitive connection between two bullets based on compositional similarity of the lead they contain;

• a 2005 report of an international committee established by the FBI to review the use of latent fingerprint evidence in the case of a terrorist bombing in Spain, in which the committee found that “confirmation bias”—the inclination to confirm a suspicion based on other grounds—contributed to a misidentification and improper detention; and

• studies reported in 2009 and 2010 on bitemark evidence, which found that current procedures for comparing bitemarks are unable to reliably exclude or include a suspect as a potential biter.

Beyond these kinds of shortfalls with respect to “reliable methods” in forensic feature-comparison disciplines, reviews have found that expert witnesses have often overstated the probative value of their evidence, going far beyond what the relevant science can justify. Examiners have sometimes testified, for example, that their conclusions are “100 percent certain;” or have “zero,” “essentially zero,” or “negligible,” error rate. As many reviews—including the highly regarded 2009 National Research Council study—have noted, however, such statements are not scientifically defensible: all laboratory tests and feature-comparison analyses have non-zero error rates.

 

Obama Sells More Fighter Jets to Arab Tyrants

 

State supporter of terrorism Qatar is on the list. The brutal Bahrain government is also included. Boeing and Lockheed are happy selling arms to terrorists.

White House Approves Jet Sales to Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait: Corker

The package reportedly includes 72 Boeing F-15E Strike Eagles for Qatar and up to 40 Boeing F/A-18 E/F Super Hornets for Kuwait. Bahrain’s package includes Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters. 

The cases have gone forward to the Hill, where relevant committees will review them ahead of a formal notification, Corker, R-Tenn., told Defense News. The Pentagon and State Department had already cleared the sales.

“I’m glad where we’ve gotten to the point where the notification is coming to Congress. We’ve been pushing for it for some time,” Corker said.

Reuters:

Russia says U.S. Syria statement shows Washington supports terrorism

Ryabkov was referring to a statement made by U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby who said on Wednesday that Russia had an interest in stopping the violence in Syria because extremists could exploit the vacuum there and launch attacks “against Russian interests, perhaps even Russian cities.“

“We cannot interpret this as anything else apart from the current U.S. administration’s de facto support for terrorism,” Ryabkov was quoted as saying.

MH-17 Fraud: The Gaps

Troubling Gaps in the New MH-17 Report

JIT operates under an agreement with the Ukrainian government that lets it veto the release of information. Ukraine’s SBU intelligence service, which represented the Kiev government in the JIT, also has among its official responsibilities the protection of secret information that could be damaging to Ukraine.

The preponderance of evidence is that the neo-nazi coup regime deliberately shot down the airliner to try and pin it on their enemies, the eastern Ukrainian separatists and Russia. The cover-up implies whom the perpetrators actually were, as usual.

US Deep State Threatens Russia: Back Down or We Flood Syria With MANPADs

Get this. Americans explaining what Arab monarchies — wink, wink — are preparing to do:

…One U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss American policy, said Washington has kept large numbers of such man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, out of Syria by uniting Western and Arab allies behind channeling training and infantry weapons to moderate opposition groups while it pursued talks with Moscow.

But frustration with Washington has intensified, raising the possibility that Gulf allies or Turkey will no longer continue to follow the U.S. lead or will turn a blind eye to wealthy individuals looking to supply MANPADS to opposition groups.

MH-17 Farce Rolls On

 

Int’l investigators allowed Ukraine to fabricate MH17 evidence – Russia

“Instead of [working together], international investigators suspended Moscow from comprehensive participation in the investigative process, allowing our efforts only a minor role. It sounds like a bad joke, but at the same time they made Ukraine a full member of the JIT [Joint Investigation Team], giving it the opportunity to forge evidence and turn the case to its advantage,” Zakharova added.

 

Let’s look at some of the facts the official cover-up doesn’t want to talk about…

1. Ukraine (coup regime) air traffic directed the plane over a hot war zone, an aberration from previous flights.

2. The plane was shot at the front line of the conflict, emerging from the Ukraine (coup regime) territory to crash at a battlefield.

3. The Ukraine (coup regime) then shelled the crash site for weeks, not allowing anyone to inspect the wreckage.

4. Faked audio recordings, provided by the Ukraine coup regime, attempted to immediately blame the separatists, exposed, but the controversy never appears in western corporate media.

5. The Ukraine coup regime was given a secret deal allowing them to censor the investigation results  if the evidence points to their responsibility for the attack.

Farce.
