United Police States of America: County amusment park bans head scarves, dozens of American Muslims detained by cops

“I don’t give **** about your culture.”-comment attributed to Westchester County Park Ranger as he beat woman lying on the ground

New York media reporting that at least 15 men and women were detained by New York cops, after an amusement park banned head scarves.

Muslims went to the Westchester County amusement park to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, instead of getting on park rides, they got rides to jail.

Here’s how pathetic the NAZI United States is getting:  Muslim women wanted to go to a county run amusement park.  They were met by insults, and even people trying to rip their head scarves from their head.  When the husbands of the women tried to defend them riot police were called in.  One man says police grabbed his daughter’s head scarf and slammed her to the ground!

“There seems to have been a disproportionate response in which police used excessive strength and force to subdue female protesters, that had a snowball effect on the antagonism and aggression that ensued.”-Cyrus McGoldrick, Council on American Islamic Relations

It could be considered a violation of Constitutional rights to ban head scarves, but park officials say head scarves are banned on certain rides for safety reasons.  Park officials claim they tried to explain to the women why they could not wear the scarves on certain rides.  The Muslims say no explaination was given, they were just ordered to take off their scarves, and when the women asked why that’s when the beatings started.

One things for sure, a lot of people got upset ’cause there were Muslims trying to ride the amusement park rides.  Eight surrounding law enforcement agencies were called in, including police dogs and a helicopter.

United Police States of America: NYPD really the KKK? New evidence to support such a claim, do you have ‘Ancestors of Interest’ to cops?

The New York Police have constantly denied being involved with any spy programs based on a person’s ethnicity.  Yet here’s more proof: The Associated Press got their hands on a document attesting to a 16 man “Demographics Unit” that investigates people with “ancestries of interest”.

The NYDP Demographics Unit didn’t limit themselves to New York, they also took action in Connecticut, New Jersey and Philadelphia.  The Demographics Unit was led by a former CIA agent (I wonder if he’ll turn out to be a fraud, like that Hiller guy?).

The latest documents show that the NYPD targeted 28 ethnic groups, including those of Somalian, Albanian and Turkish descent, as well as the “American Black Muslim.”   Remember people, officially the 9/11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia (15), Egypt (1), Lebanon (1) and United Arab Emirates (2), and as far as  I know none of them were black.  So why are we always targeting people who did not come from those countries?

War on Terror: The United States is the biggest terrorist, handcuffs then executes Iraqi children, United Nations makes threats wants answers

“…a State party can be held responsible for violations of rights under the Covenant where the violations are perpetrated by authorized agents of the State on foreign territory…”-2006 UN memo to Secretary of State Rice, concerning execution of Iraqi children

A 2006 United Nations memo to then U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, has been made public by Wikileaks.

In the memo the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, demands an explanation as to why, on 15 March 2006, an entire Iraqi family was handcuffed and executed by U.S. forces.  That included two children aged five years, two children aged three years and one five month old baby!

After the executions the house was bombed, Iraqi TV has video of the aftermath.

The memo suspects that it was done in retaliation for two U.S. multi-national forces (MNF) troops being killed the week before.

Officially the U.S. claims the family was killed in a gunbattle.  The U.S. led MNF were attempting to arrest one suspect.

The problem is that autopsies showed all the family members had been handcuffed and shot in the head.

The United Nations asked Secretary of State Rice four questions: 1; “On what basis was it decided to kill, rather than capture, members of the Mr. Faiz Harrat Al-Majma’ee’s family.” 2; “What rules of international law does your Excellency’s Government consider to govern these incidents?” 3; “What procedural safeguards, if any, were employed to ensure that these killings complied with international law?” 4; “Does your Excellency’s Government intend to provide compensation…”

The UN memo mentions that this isn’t the only case of summary executions at the hands of U.S. forces.

Secretary Rice was also reminded of UN resolution 59/191: “States must ensure that any measure to combat terrorism complies with their obligation under international law, in particular international human right, refugee and humanitarian law.”

After all, the United States is a shining example of the Rule of Law, is it not?

Government Incompetence: U.S. Taxpayer funded counter terrorist experts are frauds

“It’s very difficult to admit to myself that I’m a fraud.”-William G. Hiller, convicted counter terrorist scamer

At least $171,415 of taxpayer money went to a man who was training federal agents and local police.  William G. Hiller even claimed the movie Taken, is based on his life.

Hiller was found out after a student became suspicious and asked a real U.S. Army Special Forces major to check him out.  Turned out that all of Hiller’s claims, including claiming to be a 28 year veteran of Special Forces, was a lie.

Hiller taught counter terrorist class all over the country including the FBI Command College, FBI field offices in Salt Lake City and Chicago, the Illinois State Police and the University of Oregon.

During the trial it was implied that some deaths suffered by U.S. personnel, since 9/11, might be due to Hiller’s fraudulent training.

New York Mets: Madoff Ponzi Scheme Partners?

The owners of the New York Mets baseball team are in big trouble, financially anyway.  They just struck out on a much needed injection of cash from potential investor David Einhorn.  To the tune of $200 million.

The Mets owners lost money when ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff was finally caught.  But don’t shed a tear for the owners of the Mets, turns out they were making big profits under Madoff’s illegal investment pyramid.

Irving Picard, a lawyer, doesn’t believe claims by Mets owners, that they were ignorant of Madoff’s ponzi scheme.  He’s suing them for a grand total of $1 billion.

Out of that $1 billion, $300 million covers the profits the Mets owners made off Madoff’s illegal scheme, and the other $700 million is the total amount the Mets invested with Bernie Madoff.

What Economic Recovery? Hoku, Idaho, finally to start polysilicon production, but ongoing delays will cost solar company money

“We are positioned to bring the first 2,500 metric tons of manufacturing capacity online in the coming weeks, and we continue commissioning key systems on site.”-Scott Paul, CEO of Hoku Corporation

After years of continued promises of local hiring and construction delays, due to financial problems, Hoku claims it will finally start polysilicon production within weeks.

However, Idaho Power insists that Hoku pay up front for its electricity, Hoku officials claim they’ve already paid $5.3 million to the utility.  This is just part of a long list of financial problems the wannabe polysilicon maker has had.

It’s ironic that a solar power “products and services” company must rely on an old fashioned electric utility to provide power to run their new 2,500 metric tons of polysilicon factory.

Hoku Corporation has already lost $10.2 million during the second quarter of 2011.  The solar power products company is based in Hawaii.  Their polysilicon Hoku Materials plant is located in Pocatello, Idaho.

Hoku has been getting financial help from a Chinese company; Tianwei New Energy Holdings.

Hoku salesmen oversold their company’s product, and now they’re scrambling to issue refunds, and offer discounts on existing contracts for waiting so long for their product.

All current orders for polysilcon are delayed, no thanks to the financial problems that have delayed construction of the Pocatello plant for the past couple of years.  Expect Hoku to continue reporting losses as a result.

What Economic Recovery? Latest survey shows there are less jobs now, than in 2008, study says Corporate America is Lieing when they use the excuse “they can’t find qualified workers”

“To fill the gap by mid-2014, three years from now, 400,000 jobs would need to be created each month.”-EPI study titled: Sustained, high joblessness causes lasting damage to wages, benefits, income, and wealth

The latest Economic Policy Insitute study shows there are 6.8 million fewer jobs now, than when the recession officially started in 2008.

The study also indicated that it was a pipe dream to some how create 400,000 new jobs every month.  So far, evil Corporate America has been hiring a paltry average of 144,000 jobs each month.  The EPI authors say at that rate it’ll take 15 more years to get the United States back to its pre-2008 glory.  And this study doesn’t take into account all those federal and state government jobs that will be lost due to budget cutting.

Another aspect of the study showed that Corporate America’s claim that there are no qualified workers to hire, is a lie!  That type of unemployment is called Structural Unemployment.

The study found that the ratio of job openings, to job seekers, is one opening for every four applicants.  It’s been that way for at least two years now.  With an average of four unemployed people applying for one job, how can Corporate America say they can’t find any qualified workers?

Here’s another reason: The unemployed include people from every education group, including college graduates with Masters degrees.  This means Corporate America has a vast pool of trained and educated people to pick from, yet Corporate America isn’t hiring!

No Economic Recovery for the U.S.: eBay striking it rich in China

“Chinese exporters today have a significant price advantage, and combined with eBay’s global reach, it creates a very powerful business opportunity.”-Jay Lee, eBay Asia-Pacific.

California based eBay is seeing huge yuan signs, not dollar signs.  That’s because the online auction and retail site is making big gains in China.

Just a few years back anyone in the U.S. who bought something from China, through eBay, had to wait nearly two months to get their item.  Now it’s taking less than a month (I know, I’ve bought a couple of things from China through eBay).

That reduction in shipping time is helping to boost eBay’s China operation: “Now it takes only seven to 10 days for Chinese products sold through eBay to reach any destination in the U.S.”-Jeff Liao, eBay Greater China. (Personally I haven’t experienced that fast of shipping time)

At the end of 2010, 20% of eBay sales were outside the United States, most of which involved China.  EBay officials predict their Chinese operation to grow an amazing 30%-40% every year!
