Openly Fascist Police State

The Supreme Court just condemned a man to die despite strong evidence he’s innocent

Let this sink in.

Innocence is not enough now.

The KOSOVO PRECEDENT

Putin calls Kosovo independence ‘terrible precedent’

February 23, 2008

Russian President Vladimir Putin today described the declaration of independence by Kosovo as a “terrible precedent” that will come back to hit the West “in the face.”

The comments came as Moscow ratcheted up its condemnation of Western powers’ support for the province’s secession from Serbia, with a Russian envoy warning NATO and the European Union against “brute force” in Kosovo.

Corporate-State Department of Injustice & Steven Donziger

The corporate state came for human rights lawyer Steven Donziger — and we’re next

He is the first person charged with any misdemeanor to be held under home confinement for more than two years. He is the first attorney ever to be charged with criminal contempt over a discovery dispute in a civil case where the attorney went into voluntary contempt to pursue an appeal. He is the first person to be prosecuted under Rule 42 (criminal contempt) by a private prosecutor with financial ties to the entity and industry that was a litigant in the underlying civil dispute that gave rise to the orders. He is the first person tried by a private prosecutor who had ex parte communications with the charging judge while that judge remained (and remains) unrecused on the criminal case.

HR1 Attacks Third Parties, Expands Corruption to Absurd Heights

My problem with films like these is that they are made by and for highly ignorant people, who don’t really know anything about the 9/11 attacks. They walk away feeling like experts, while having investigated essentially nothing, except the discrepancies in that one guy’s case. In the big scheme, this story has nothing to do with understanding the attacks at all. Nothing.

Private “Militias” Illegal in All 50 States

State Fact Sheets

ICAP has created fact sheets for all 50 states explaining the laws barring unauthorized private militia groups and what to do if groups of armed individuals are near a polling place or voter registration drive. 

Is it legal to act as a private militia in California?

No. All 50 states prohibit private, unauthorized militias and military units from engaging in activities reserved for
the state militia, including law enforcement activities. Some, including California, also prohibit paramilitary activity during or in furtherance of a civil disorder.

Reform U.S. Policing: Sanders Steps Up

Sanders Calls on Democrats to Embrace 8-Point Plan to End Police Brutality

 

• Amend federal civil rights laws to allow more effective prosecution of police misconduct by changing the standard from willfulness to recklessness;
• Abolish “qualified immunity,” so police officers can be held civilly liable for abuses;
• Prohibit the transfer of offensive military equipment to police departments;
• Strip federal funds from departments that violate civil rights;
• Create a federal model policing program that emphasizes de-escalation, non-lethal force and culturally competent policing in which access to federal funds depends upon the level of reform adopted. As part of this effort to modernize and humanize police departments we need to enhance the recruitment pool by ensuring that the resources are available to pay wages that will attract the top-tier officers we need to do the difficult work of policing;
• Provide funding to states and municipalities to create civilian corps of unarmed first responders to supplement law enforcement, such as social workers, EMTs, and trained mental health professionals, who can handle order maintenance violations, mental health emergencies, and low-level conflicts to aid police officers;
• Require agencies to make records of police misconduct publicly available;
• Require all jurisdictions that receive federal grant funding to establish independent police conduct review boards that are broadly representative of the community and that have the authority to refer deaths that occur at the hands of police or in police custody to federal authorities for investigation. In addition, the boards would be authorized to report to federal authorities other types of abuses by police including patterns of misconduct. This would be supplemental to current federal authority to commence investigations. Clearly we need to enhance federal funding for such investigations.
