Media Favoritism & Incompetence: CNN caught doctoring their interview with Ron Paul. Intentionally brow beat him, regardless of his answers, inorder to discredit him

“I understand. It’s how the system works.”-Ron Paul, as he walks off interview, letting CNN’s Gloria Borger know that he’s figured out CNN’s anti-Ron Paul agenda

CNN recently aired an interview with Ron Paul, in which they claim he stormed off after getting upset about their questions.  However, the unedited interview made it on the internet and shows that CNN was deliberately trying to upset him.

Wolf Blitzer sets up the manipulated interview by confirming with CNN’s chief political analyst, Gloria Borger, that Ron Paul has been contentious towards their questions.

But even in the edited interview you can hear Ron Paul trying to make the point that’s he’s answered the very same CNN questions before, in fact for years they’ve asked him the same questions.  See it here.

Blitzer and Borger then continue their banter by accusing Paul of running “negative” ads, never mind that Mitt Romney has run the most negative ads so far.

They go back to the interview, where Paul explains that he’s simply showing the track record of Newt Gingrich, and doesn’t consider that negative.  Paul actually criticizes CNN because the media should have been revealing to the public the behavior of politicians!

The unedited interview shows that Paul did his best to answer their questions. It’s clear that the interviewer, Borger, has a personal agenda, and Ron Paul finally figures it out and cuts the interview short, storming off.  See it, and the whole eight and a half minute interview, here.

The look on Borger’s face is interesting, as Ron Paul leaves.  Almost like someone who’s successfully accomplished a covert mission.

NAZI-land & United Police States of America: New York cops caught on camera planting evidence on “suspects”

It happened back in February, 2011, and is just now making the news; two Utica, New York cops were caught on camera planting evidence, drugs, inside people’s cars.  The cops were recorded by their own security camera in their car.

It took a local newspaper to bring the story to the public. Utica police say they were simply putting drugs they took off the suspects, into the suspects’ car. That’s not normal police procedure, but the District Attorney claims it is: You can put the evidence on your person to maintain custody of it until you have a chance to store it. Where else are you going to put it, on the ground? In the course of searching someone, sometimes the only thing you’ve got is your pockets until a short time later you can put it all together.”-Scott McNamara, Williams and Oneida County District Attorney

You can see the video here.  About one minute in you can see the cop searching the SUV pull a baggie out of his own pocket and put in side the vehicle.  He then walks a way with the baggie looking like it had been opened.

Wouldn’t putting evidence in your pocket compromise it?  Other people feel the same way, and say it’s not part of police training:  “We do feel there is concern that some wrongdoing has been done because police officers don’t place evidence in their back pocket and then take it out and climb into a suspect’s car, and then exit with the drugs unrolled.”-Venice Ervin, local NAACP

The Utica Police Department say they’re investigating, and when they are done the FBI will investigate.

Red Horse: 62 year old man suffered hellish death at the hands of Florida NAZI-land cops, all for being drunk! Ghost of Abu Ghraib

Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.

“This photo is a picture of a man who is strapped to a chair naked inside a jail for hours with a hood over his face. That evokes thoughts of being tortured.”-Nick DiCello, attorney

About two and a half years ago a distraught Ohio man decided to take a break and visit his brother in Florida.  Like many tourists in Florida, he liked to drink alcohol.  He got arrested for being drunk, and 48 hours later he was dead.

Florida’s District 21 Medical Examiner ruled his death was a “Homicide (restrained and sprayed with pepper spray by law enforcement officers)”.

But under Florida law a homicide does not necessarily mean it was a criminal act, and every NAZI cop involved was cleared by Florida courts.

This event came into public view, not just because of the medical examiner’s report, but because some good cops found the whole thing disgusting and told, and they have photographic evidence.

Monshay Gibbs, a deputy trainee at the jail at the time, testified against the cops: “Did Christie have a spit mask [cop talk for gag] on?”-court

“Yeah.”-Monshay Gibbs

“Could you see that he was, was he naked?”-court

“Yes he was”-Monshay Gibbs
“Completely naked?”-court
“Completely naked.”-Monshay Gibbs

A local Florida Fox TV news affiliate broke the story.  They revealed that the 62 year old man was gagged, strapped to a chair naked and repeatedly sprayed with pepper spray (at least ten times) over a 48 hour period.

The man also had medical conditions.  His wife says she called and begged police to consider his conditions and take him to the hospital.  They refused, until it was too late.  In the homicide investigation, the NAZI cops said they were unaware of any medical conditions until after they killed the guy.

A retired Florida cop says that pepper spray is not supposed to be used after you restrain someone: “The purpose is to incapacitate the person temporarily, that’s the key word, long enough so that you can restrain them.”-Tom Depolis, retired cop

“So you don’t pepper spray them when they are restrained?”-reporter

“No, that would be ridiculous while they are restrained.”-Tom Depolis, retired cop

You can watch the Fox news report, with the abu Ghraib like pics,  here.

If you think things are bad now, just imagine how things are gonna get since President Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, allowing the indefinite detention and torture of U.S. citizens!

World War 3: Afghan & Pakistan Taliban joining forces, will jointly attack U.S./NATO forces

Despite reports from Reuters, stating that the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban are “at each other’s throats”, Japanese media are reporting that various ‘taliban’ groups have agreed to put aside differences to jointly target U.S. led forces.

Over the weekend representatives from Afghanistan’s and Pakistan’s Pashtun dominated Taliban (Mujahideen) groups met.  Japan’s NHK claims they talked with Mujahideen officials and were told they have decided to put aside their differences, and focus on fighting the U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

Pakistani Mujahideen agreed to back off of attacking Pakistani government forces, and, beginning in March, will help their Afghan cousins focus their fight against the U.S.

They’ve established a 5 member council to help co-ordinate their efforts.  This news comes after reports that the Afghan Taliban have accepted an offer from U.S. President Obama, and the government of pro-U.S. Qatar, to open a diplomatic office in Qatar.

Government & Corporate Incompetence: Ohio suffering mass earthquakes, officials blame Fracking. Not the first time; Arkansas blamed Fracking on increased quakes back in July

“The earthquakes will trickle on as a kind of a cascading process once you’ve caused them to occur. This one year of pumping is a pulse that has been pushed into the ground, and it’s going to be spreading out for at least a year.”-John Armbruster, Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory

On New Year’s Eve, Ohio had a 4.0 quake.  It’s part of many quakes the state has suffered since March 2011.  Now state lawmakers are banning the energy industry’s practice of Fracking.

Energy companies inject chemically heavy water, under extreme pressures, deep into the ground.  It releases natural gas from shale. The gas is used mainly for the oil industry’s hydrogen cracking process, which makes fuels cleaner burning.

For a long time it’s been claimed that fracking pollutes underground water sources, but the industry has successfully fought off such claims.  Another claim is that it could cause earthquakes.

Now, seismologists with the U.S. Geological Survey have testified to Ohio officials that the state’s unusual quake activity is directly related to fracking wastewater injection.

In July, the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission banned  fracking wastewater injection, because of increased earthquake activity.

Energy companies doing the fracking are taking their wastewater and injecting it deep into underground sand deposits, to get rid of it.  Scientists say the problem is that the companies have overshot the underground sand beds, and are basically pressurizing fault lines.

Global Economic War: Puerto Rico pushes for Independence from U.S. Empire, wants to join the anti-U.S./Canada CELAC

The United Nations Decolonization Committee (UNDC) will be considering pleas for help from Puerto Ricans, who’re seeking freedom from the control of the United States.

A group called United Partners for the Decolonization of Puerto Rico have petitioned the UN.  The UNDC  will be holding hearings during the summer of 2012 (usually in the month New York City holds its Puerto Rican Day Parade).

Puerto Ricans have expressed a desire to join the newly formed CELAC: “CELAC is a great idea! But it will never be complete until Puerto Rico (PR) is included.”-José M. López Sierra, United Partners for the Decolonization of Puerto Rico

World War 3: Taliban New Year’s Day offensive

The Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (aka Taliban) claim a list of attacks on U.S./NATO/ISAF forces on New Year’s Day.

First they claim to have launched at least nine missiles (unguided rockets) at Bagram air base, causing dozens of casualties.  They also claim a missile attack against Sahara Bagh airbase in Khost, with no casualties effected, and a missile attack on Kandahar airfield, claiming deadly results.     

 

 

In the province of Kandahar they claim they’ve been attacking U.S./NATO/ISAF forces relentlessly: Several vehicles destroyed by home made bombs, killing the occupants. Several foot patrols ambushed, at least three foreign troops killed.  Intense fighting in Maiwand district after foreign troops were brought in by helicopter and repelled by locals.

In the province of Helmand: At least two foreign vehicles blown up by home made bombs/mines, resulting in at least three killed and three wounded.  Taliban snipers kill several foreign troops.

The Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan also claim killing several “puppet” forces, meaning Afghan government military and police forces.

World War 3: Arab League monitors in Syria fail, Arab League says Syrian officials made fools out of them. Excuse for war with Syria? Syrian’s say Saudi observer caught urging people to rebel. U.S. forces advising new rebel army

”For this to happen in the presence of Arab monitors has roused the anger of Arab people and negates the purpose of sending a fact-finding mission. This is giving the Syrian regime an Arab cover for continuing its inhumane actions under the eyes and ears of the Arab League.”-Ali al-Salem al-Dekbas, Arab League

After only six days in Syria, some Arab League officials have called for the withdrawal of their observer mission.  It seems hasty, but it makes sense since the Arab League is controlled by the pro-U.S. Qatari government: “[Monitors] are being affected by some regional powers, such as Qatar or major Egyptian officials, and international powers even at the level of the European community and the U.S.  This international pressure will prevent them from independent reporting.”-Maher Salloum, Universal Peace Federation

More evidence that the Arab League observer mission is a sham; on December 30, a Saudi member of the team made a speech at a mosque in Harasta, Syria.  He actually implored Syrians to rise up against the government.

Independent Arab media sources say a 6,000 strong army has formed in northern Syria.  It’s being called The Free Syrian Army.  Independent journalists say the army is armed with anti-tank missiles, mortars and rocket launchers, and, it is being advised by U.S./NATO military forces.

The Wall & World War 3: Israel walling itself in, building walls along Egyptian & Jordanian borders, U.S. involved?

“When the security barrier along the Egyptian border is finished, one will be built along the border with Jordan.”–Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel

On January 1, 2012, Israel announced it will continue their current Egyptian border wall project along the border with Jordan.  The Israeli wall along the Egyptian border is a five meter (16 feet) high steel fence.  It’s costing an estimated U.S.$360 million (I wonder where they’re getting the money for it?).

They expect it to be finished by September 2012, at which point they’ll start their wall along the Jordanian border.

An unnamed Israeli official told Chinese media that the border will be manned by Israeli forces, and, forces friendly to Israel:  “The fence is an important tool that will enable us and other forces to control occurrences on the border with greater effectiveness.”

World War 3: U.S. Bagram airbase hit by missile attack, excuse for war with Iran?

Taliban (Mujahideen) confirm missile attacks on Bagram.  The Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan states that Bagram air base has been attacked with missiles at least three times in the past 24 hours.  At least four missiles (unguided rockets?), from overnight attacks, landed within the base compound.  They claim attacks are continuing.

Breaking news reports out of Afghanistan say the Taliban hit the U.S. controlled Bagram air base with at least nine missiles.  Some reports say the attacks took place on New Year’s Eve (western Gregorian calender), as U.S. personnel were celebrating the coming New Year.

Some Afghan government officials say their sources confirm the attacks, but there are no casualties reported.

There’s been no clarification if the attacks were done with guided missiles, or unguided rockets.  Some Taliban sources say they were long range missiles.

Bagram is located in Parwan (aka Parvan) Province, in northwestern Afghanistan.  Ever since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, Bagram has been the target of many attacks.

Reports say there are many casualties from the latest attacks.  Already there is internet chatter that this might be used by the United States to launch an all out war with Iran.  The U.S. government has ignorantly claimed that the Taliban are linked to Iran (it’s ignorant because the Taliban and the Iranian’s are mortal enemies). Also, all U.S. military bases in the Middle East are within range of Iran’s growing missile systems.

Also, on December 27, 2011, Taliban claimed they launched two missiles at Bagram, with no casualties effected.
