As you may have heard, police and Swat teams in Ferguson, Missouri have fired tear gas and rubber bullets at peaceful protesters, and outlawed peaceful assembly.
Police are also using stun grenades and ear-damaging military sound cannons against peaceful protesters.
Reporters are among those shot at with rubber bullets and tear gas, assaulted and arrested. Glenn Greenwald notes:
Last night, two reporters, The Washington Post‘s Wesley Lowery and The Huffington Post‘s Ryan Reilly, were arrested and assaulted while working from a McDonald’s in Ferguson. The arrests were arbitrary and abusive, and received substantial attention — only because of their prominent platforms, not, as they both quickly pointed out upon being released, because there was anything unusual about this police behavior.
Reilly, on Facebook, recounted how he was arrested by “a Saint Louis County police officer in full riot gear, who refused to identify himself despite my repeated requests, purposefully banged my head against the window on the way out and sarcastically apologized.” He wrote: ”I’m fine. But if this is the way these officers treat a white reporter working on a laptop who moved a little too slowly for their liking, I can’t imagine how horribly they treat others.”
Reporters have been told to turn off their cameras. And a no-fly zone was established above Ferguson in order to keep news helicopters away.
A state senator was teargassed along with protesters.
Congressman Amash tweets:
Images & reports out of
#Ferguson are frightening. Is this a war zone or a US city? Gov’t escalates tensions w/military equipment & tactics.
And:
Someone identifying himself as an 82nd Airborne Army veteran, observing the Ferguson police scene, comment[ed] that “We rolled lighter than that in an actual warzone” …
If you want to visually see how extreme the reaction of police is in Ferguson, compare what’s going on in Ferguson to what’s happening in the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan (or scroll through this page of pictures.)
What’s really going on? And how did we get here?
We explained in 2011:
Journalists from across the spectrum have documented the militarization of police forces in the United States, including, CNN, Huffington Post, the Cato Institute, Forbes, the New York Times, Daily Kos, Esquire, The Atlantic, Salon and many others.
Many police departments laugh at and harass Americans who exercise their right to free speech. Here’s one example of police laughing at a civil rights lawyer after she was shot in the head with a rubber bullet:
Indeed – especially since police brutality against protesters has been so blatant in recent months, while no top bank executives have been prosecuted – many Americans believe that the police are protecting the bankers whose fraud brought down the economy instead of the American people ….
Some are comparing police brutality towards the Occupy protesters to that used by Israeli forces against Palestinian protesters. Indeed, numerous heads of U.S. police departments have traveled to Israel for “anti-terrorism training”, and received training from Israeli anti-terrorism experts visiting the U.S. See this, this, this, this, this.
Indeed, the Ferguson police chief received training in crowd control in Israel in 2011.
And Gaza residents are literally tweeting info on how to handle tear gas to help Ferguson citizens.
Even the mainstream media is picking up on the militarized police. USA Today headlines, “Pentagon fueled Ferguson confrontation“. And Newsweek runs with, “How America’s Police Became an Army.”
But they’re still blaming 9/11 as the reason for the militarization of the police. As we explained in 2011, that’s not accurate:
Most assume that the militarization of police started after 9/11. Certainly, Dick Cheney initiated Continuity of Government Plans on September 11th that ended America’s constitutional form of government (at least for some undetermined period of time.) On that same day, a national state of emergency was declared … and that state of emergency has continuously been in effect up to today.
But the militarization of police actually started long before 9/11 … in the 1980s.
Radley Balko testified before the House Subcommittee on Crime in 2007:
Militarization [of police forces is] a troubling trend that’s been on the rise in America’s police departments over the last 25 years.
***
Since the late 1980s, Mr. Chairman, thanks to acts passed by the U.S. Congress, millions of pieces of surplus military equipment have been given to local police departments across the country.
We’re not talking just about computers and office equipment. Military-grade semi-automatic weapons, armored personnel vehicles, tanks, helicopters, airplanes, and all manner of other equipment designed for use on the battlefield is now being used on American streets, against American citizens.
Academic criminologists credit these transfers with the dramatic rise in paramilitary SWAT teams over the last quarter century.
SWAT teams were originally designed to be used in violent, emergency situations like hostage takings, acts of terrorism, or bank robberies. From the late 1960s to the early 1980s, that’s primarily how they were used, and they performed marvelously.
But beginning in the early 1980s, they’ve been increasingly used for routine warrant service in drug cases and other nonviolent crimes. And thanks to the Pentagon transfer programs, there are now a lot more of them.
(And see this.)
Huffington Post notes:
Former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper published an essay arguing that the current epidemic of police brutality is a reflection of the militarization (his word, not mine) of our urban police forces, the result of years of the “war on drugs” and the “war on terror. Stamper was chief of police during the World Trade Organization protests in Seattle in 1999, and is not a voice that can be easily dismissed.
And Jamie Douglas notes:
Ever since Ronald Reagan in 1981 helped draw up the Military Cooperation With Law Enforcement Act, quickly passed by a very cooperative congress, effectively circumventing the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 by codifying military cooperation with law enforcement, the military has been encouraged to give any and all law enforcement agencies unfettered access to all military resources, training and hardware included. The military equipment was designed to be used by American fighting forces in combat with “the enemy,” but since a law was passed in 1994, the Pentagon has been able to donate all surplus war materiel to America’s police departments. The National Journal has compiled a number of statistics showing that in the first three years after the 1994 law came into effect, the “Department of Offense” stocked police departments with 3800 M-16 assault rifles, 2185 M-14’s, 73 grenade launchers, and 112 armored personnel carriers, as well as untold number of bayonets, tanks, helicopters, and even some airplanes.
Regardless who will be in power in the future, the militarization of the police will continue. After all, who wants to appear as being soft on crime? These days, a chief of police’s office is like a doctor’s office, but instead of getting swamped with drug salesmen, they have very congenial visits with the merchants of popular oppression, the salesmen of weapons, various chemical agents, Tasers, body armor, and all kinds of tracking software, surveillance gear, and anything else the department may need for crowd control and to infiltrate dissidents, which are no more than US citizens wanting to restore the republic to its rightful place.
The government treats copyright infringers as terrorists, and swat teams have been deployed against them. See this, this, this and this.
***
It’s not just intellectual property. The government is widely using anti-terror laws to help giant businesses … and to crush those who speak out against their abusive practices, labeling anyone who speaks out as a potential bad guy.
Remember:
- Journalists are considered terrorists in modern America.
- Peaceful protest is considered terrorism. As one example, the FBI treated the peaceful protesters at the Occupy protests as terrorists. More here and here
- Americans have lost virtually all of our Constitutional rights
- The U.S. government considers the entire world – including American soil – to be a battlefield
As Greenwald writes:
Ultimately, police militarization is part of a broader and truly dangerous trend: the importation of War on Terror tactics from foreign war zones onto American soil. American surveillance drones went from Yemen, Pakistan and Somalia into American cities, and it’s impossible to imagine that they won’t be followed by weaponized ones. The inhumane and oppressive conditions that prevailed at Guantanamo are matched, or exceeded, by the super-max hellholes and “Communications Management Units” now in the American prison system. And the “collect-it-all” mentality that drives NSA domestic surveillance was pioneered by Gen. Keith Alexander in Baghdad and by other generals in Afghanistan, aimed at enemy war populations.
***
As part of America’s posture of Endless War, Americans have been trained to believe that everything is justified on the “battlefield” (now defined to mean “the whole world”): imprisonment without charges, kidnapping, torture, even assassination of U.S. citizens without trials. It is not hard to predict the results of importing this battlefield mentality onto American soil, aimed at American citizens: “From Warfighter to Crimefighter.” The results have been clear for those who have looked – or those who have been subject to this – for years. The events in Ferguson are, finally, forcing all Americans to watch the outcome of this process.



Well, now here's the problem....... too amny peoples out there
http://lastresistance.com/6887/journal-medical-ethics-babies-cause-globa...
Them dingleberrys come round. ZH is good picking em out o
ze bung.
I don't recommend do so unless the angers feel good...but
The IZ, as many here know, are behind a zillionrililliananan nonprofit-NGO hospital-research-software-everythings. A few months back one of the two "big" branches of the Presbyterian Church in da US, made history, actually a legit big deal, never ever to-be heard. What?
The Pres Church (1.7ish million ppl) put out an Ed. Resource titled "Zionism Unsettled". After years of bickering, the board of said church, by a narrow margin, hopped onto the BDS movement. For those ???, BoycottDivestSanction. The church after years of baby parts flying around and other batshit psycho things IZionraelKhazairians do for sport....well, church went old-tymey pre-Ziony->
(look up how Zionists infiltrated and used the same damn Hollywood/MSM techniques creating the mega churches. And all that Tele-vangelist/born again crap)
->and thought it a good thing to remove all assets/securities/holding of corporations located on top of bulldozed villages/structures/graveyards that Palestinians had been chilling on for a very-long-pre-Churchill time.
That's all the Pres Church did- divested $$$ from 3 companies build on ruin and death. Caterpillar, HEW-PAC and Motorola.
Ha-Luoooo-shat!
Search "Presbyterian BDS" and expect a dinglenado milkshake, with extra bitch on top. It's a decent study in zio-manipulation/technique. There actually are various style/templetes to follow. On the Church website, Zioz gotta keep it formal, the comments I mean. It's insulting and familiar. I'm not a churcher, but you'll pick up on the pattern. Go to other boards and it gets...well, fucking offensive. In a shell- "how dare the goy".
Look up, and there are 100% legit foia dox released online fo-free...Enter a string like "Mossad art students in us" or "Izraeli student spys in us" "izraili art students Mossad agents"
Further investigation let to the $$& universities here, 1 is big time, mostly Jews, with student exchange program=IZ. There were many...many of these Mossad fucks here- 1 with a direct connection to 9-11. Imagine having CIA/MI6 BRATS illegally spying on whatever, gadding about town, where they have a get-out-of-everything card. This was in the early 2000s, by looking the stuff up, you'll notice the difference between ziomurica then and now. The papers (look at j goings' site) appear to describe FEDS cracking down and detaining some of the spys. Of course, not a slap on rist, just a ticket to hell, er home.
Oh yeah, the point. I was pissed off, randomly trying to find something...and I did. I was searching on webs, various letter combos...and boing. I came across a "hmmm..." link, or series of em. All these sites (using duck, not the goog) had the same Scoopy-Doo vibe. They were art-craft-photo sites, with a few frames with examples and little text. Aha! I said, one of the sites was based in Chicago (used to be there). Anyway, this is what lead me to the foia dox- the site was a front, posing as an art group, with no info. A few clicks, and a location to "paint" (address:day) was listed, the grammar-writing style was done using standard rules for (spy) anonymous writing (I found a PDF on the hidden wiki/onion). Anyway, there were comments, talking with no alias, being spy stupid...
"Last meeting was at a great location."
"Yes. MANY opportunities for a LANDSCAPE in oil."
"Next time, we should go somewhere with flowers..."
"I can't wait to use charcoal"
"ok. Next meeting at the park, under the tree."
Etc.
They're were multiple sites in different states.
But getting back to dingle- I clicked my way thru a universities summer-IZ program-fun time and whoop, it was a forum, no passwords, and these Zioz, were just talking, still using some odd words. But I remember 1 thing clear-clear. I'm certain (99%) this was not a honeypot, it was legit. A poster said "Hi! I'm American and Support Izraeli what can I do???"
(he was a zio-xian, licking his masters boots, desperately wanting to "get in with the big [shits] ones)
The response was;
- No. You aren't the right...kind
(And the post under
-LOL. the wrong kind...
Smiley face thingy
-
anyway check out the other stuff. The Zionists (not Jews, but like the other abrahamic religions, growing up in the culture many are brainwashed, nothing will piss off a Ziony-Jew more then an openly anti Zion Jew, except for anyone with Arab blood/looks, blacks...don't know about Asians. White Christians for the Zioz are slaves. Not many religious Jews in military (expendable).
This stuff sounds horrible because it is
yuck
keep a close eye on Chicago.

we are all gazans now. this is not america. take it back one person at a time. i have been defriended by more people in the last ten years than most people have friends. some of them are finally whispering how right i was/am. mind you i don't like being right in this case. this is just the beginning. the worst is closer than you think. be careful. the more desperate they are the more evil they become.
cantor was the first one. shatz in hawaii may be next. there are a lot more to go.

you are all f*cked. just step out of line.
all this arguing about who taught which cop what and when is all bullshit.
the response to this post, in the majority, is denial.
save my a** and to hell with my neighbor's.

Why Should White People Care What Happens to Black or Brown People?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwBoa-NbNL8
what it is bro,
janus
The question for me is: Is the fascist state ONLY targeting those that they view as excess and expendable in an era where the post-industrial US is being morphed into a information/education hub for the world?
... and will the rest of us be left alone?
OR
Will everyone eventually be targeted, especially the liberals who are now appearing to be especially hypocritical useful idiots.
Somehow, I do not see how the open border policy of the Whitehouse aligns with the police state unless it is total camouflage OR what we read BOTH in the MSM news and ZH type news is total propaganda, simply designed to polarize.
Divide and conquer. "They" target minorities. First they hooked them on welfare. Then they overpolice them with outsiders. Naturally outsiders will come to disdain those they are overseeing. Abuses follow. Add body armor, assault rifles, and the rest of the kit and the police start to look, feel, act, and think like occupying troops. Add in happy "accidents" like white flight, manufacturing leaving the country, and the extra pressure of illegal immigration and you have a pot ready to boil over.
Now we all know the real antagonists behind this are never ones to let a good crisis go to waste. We can only guess at their goal is each time. As long as they are the ones creating the crises they are the ones with momentum and everyone else just get's dizzy watching the other team run up the score.
I think you will not be left alone. They are creating a real disaster. Domestically they have pushed forcible disarmarment, illegal immigration, national bankruptcy, militarization of the police, destruction of the Constitution and BoR and so very much more. Abroad we have adventurism, bullying, and very ugly meddling abroad, torture, inflating the currency, and so very much more. Some kind of domestic war will break out. Things will get ugly fast. Foreign nations will get payback by intervening and prolonging the struggles (probably several factions).
You need to ask the what if question(s) and then decide if you will stay and fight (or die like a sheep) or if you think you can actually run away, being a white American and all.
They only target people they suspect are anti police and anti government. The harder they work to suppress dissent, the more of those there are. Untll there is no one left who isn't anti police and anti government.
In other words YOU are the enemy, if not yet, then soon.
We haven't lost all our Constitutional rights. I still have 16th amendment rights to pay federal income tax without my state getting a share of it.
Correction, there are no such things as "Constitutional rights", so called "rights" come from the Creator. The Bill of Rights should be called the Bill of Limits in that they are to protect God given unalienable rights from da gubermint.

Now, the schools and hospitals Israel repeatedly bombed, claiming rockets were stored or fired from them - can anyone here provide any evidence at all about any of these schools or hospitals. I'm not saying it never happened at all, I recognize Hamas is a terror group {which was trying to go political}, but why wouldn't Israel provide the evidence that it had regarding storage of rockets or firing trajectories whenever it could?
Anyone recall the laptop of death?
The plot to kill the Saudi ambassador by an "Iranianian" used car salesman pothead?

How Israel targeted the children of GazaOT but... apparently, and I didn't know it existed, a jews and communism page at wiki was deleted for the usual specious reasons - not so much, at the end of the day, that the content was false, but that it is "antisemitic" to broach the subject - it is that idea I reject.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jews_and_Co...
Marx, Trostsky, Rosenburg, and the Jewishness of many or most communist leaders in Germany [1907] and Hungary and Poland and Russia is, I though, beyond dispute.
The Jewish Bolshevism page, which does exist, spends most of its time arguing, without evidence, that the theory is exclusively and necessarily "anti-Semitic' and a conspiracy theory instead of an arguable fact of history. It wasn't just Trotsky and Kagan, but, as many Poles and russians attested, a disproportionate amount of NKVD officers - were all these peoplere merely irrational and blind anti-semites - or were there, for whtever reasons, I just care about the ascertainable facts - a highly disproportionate amount of Jews amongst the early Bolsheviks.
Including the people who slaughtered the Tsar and his entire family - that is not so difficult to learn about as who ran the Bolsheturds.
If there were not a disproportionate number, constituting a simple majority of "top leaders, fairly defined - I agree its persistence sounds in ignorance, at best. But if there were, and it is dismissed as a "canard" on wiki - then there is a serious censorship problem as to Jews and Israel basically on every major internet platform - from FB to Youtube to Wikipedia {all of course owned/run by Jewish people, as is Reddit with the same problem}
I'm interested in the Bolsheviks generally - does anyone have a reliable source as to the Jewishness of the early leaders, either way? Based on reading long ago, it seems like the wiki article is being cute about setting up a strawman and saying see - not many Jews, I seem to remember other Bolshevik power centers that purportedly were almost all Jews. A priest, Rahilly, wrote about it. So did Churchill. It is all too easy for such people to be dismissed as "anti-Semitic". My concern is what was or was not the case.
As some of you may know, the "folk memory" about Jewish leadership during the Bolshevik revolution could not be more clear on the matter. That Abe Foxman would dismiss tens of millions of grandchildren of the survivors of those horrors as "antisemites" and not even consider there might be something to it does not concern me at all.
It's my understanding that those jews you speak of were of Kazarhian (sp?) descent (eastern european) as opposed to Shephardic jews (middle eastern descent) and thus are not Semetic at all. So, it's really impossible to be anti-semetic when you are talking about those jews regardless of what you say. A fact that the Israeli leadership goes out of their way to obfuscate.
Someone posted a book a few weeks back that was written by a jew who moved to Israel and discovered it is run exclusively by these Ashkenazi (Kazarhian) jews. Apparently, according to this author (who was killed for his efforts), the real semetic jews (shephardic) are discriminated against as are the orthodox and any non jews in that country. The ruling class is made up of entirely Ashkenazi jews. Which means that every time you make a comment concerning Israeli leadership and/or zionist intentions, you can't be anti-semetic in your speech. Fire away!
It shouldn't be a news flash that the Zionists have quite a deep control network in place to guard against the real truth of their world ambitions from leaking out. Our country (U.S) is controlled by the zionist lobby through the media and control of our politicians. There are a lot of posters on ZH that support Zionism and cry anti-semitism whenever those topics come up even though that is technicallly impoosible. I've also read that a majority of jews living in Israel do NOT support the ongoing genocide of the palestinians and/or the zionist goals of their leadership (not unlike what is going on here in the U.S.) so I never attempt to paint the jews living in Israel with the same brush as the people making policy.
Even if all the jews were of middle eastern descent, it doesn't make someone an anti-semite for questioning Israeli policy anymore than it makes someone either anti-american or racist for questioning congress and/or Obama blowing up women and children in Pakistan (or any other of his/their goat ropes).
You're right about the role of Jews in the early Bolshevik movement being airbrushed or else greatly sanitized. And yes, the main(mis)information media are all Jewish owned. Wiki in particular has been frenetic in its efforts to prevent the truth emerging.
A good source of material is the Institute for Historical Review. Here's just one of their articles http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v14/v14n1p-4_Weber.html
Two comments to Ferguson:
1. the same way, American three-letter services oragnized Maidan and the Arab Spring in Egypt, exactly the same way they organized the riots in Ferguson. The elite needs it to control the masses.. FBI/CIA/DHS organized som thugs from the narko scene to riot and make some noice. Now they can train on live targets and compromise the blacks, portrait them to be animals, divide the nation. Exactly, like in the Ukraine, or Egypt, or Syria. Demonize one and make him a pariah.
Why I come to such idea? Simply if it were genuine, then we would see something simmilar at other places as well, and we do not see it happening at other places, hence a locally organized local event.
2. The American low enforcement is traind by jewish companies and jewish instructors. Their methodology is : don't ask, shoot first. A dead man cannot speak. SO do not wonder, what you have there: police equiped with a gear, which jews use in Gaza.
http://nation.foxnews.com/2014/08/14/obama-has-combative-phone-call-isra...
That story comes from abc.net.au...
Curious if there's any connection to ZH, which lists ABC Media, LTD as the owner of ZH's copyrighted material. Numerous ZH readers have wondered aloud about who is and who runs ZH, is this a connection?
Still trying to find similarities between Israeli v Gaza and Ferguson cops v rioters: Israelis actually KIll thousands of Gazans on ground, hundreds of Israeli rockets take out hundreds of buildings, Israelis cut off supplies. No similarity there, but just like Hamas, Ferguson protesters have no love for their own - Robbing own stores, and destroying their brothers' businesses.
And whats with all this extra military equipment donned by the local police yet not being utilized? Not much of a blitzkrieg i would say. Just as many protesters are shouting "F the pigs" as they are "F Obama." Whose side is Who on?
u never ever wanna get tips from an arab
tips of penises I presume you mean?
Stay kosher, is it?
Duff, duff, duff... you seem to go to lengths to paint yourself as an objective truth seeker, then you go say something like that...
To be fair, George,
Militarization of Cops began with the Bonus Army
Patton, Ike, Doug McArthur beat the crap out of vets, and killed a few.
The Sad Tale of the Bonus MarchersPatton was following orders back when there was no "following orders is not a defense" defense.
Context, Alex, context. Anyway, he more than made up for it later, which is why he was murdered by the MIC.
Seems to me it's the American mindset...everything is a war. If I'm allowed to generalize for a moment, we seem to have gotten the idea that things which threaten us have to be defeated by force. We've lost the ability to confront problems with logic, with discourse, with humility, with an open mind, with critical thinking, with collaboration.
I'd argue there's been a shift in societal values from collaborative to competitive...and this is showing up everywhere in our society.
On the whole, I don't think this gets fixed. Prep accordingly...and hopefully with a group of like-minded individuals.
Or we have a press that's incapable of asking a relevent question. Like "Why does this two stoplight town need an APV?" "Is it really necessary to have a drone in Magnolia, Texas?" "Since when is shooting someone in the back 'officer safety'?"
They hate us for our freedom. Everyone on earth wants to be an american.
fuck gw. why is saudi arabia not in here , and the rest of european military tactics, as they have cabinieri in italy and riot police all over.
ah ...israel irsrael israel. cannot let enough alone. wonder why? oh yea, anti-semitism. has nothign to do with the national behavior of israel state apparatus. has everything to do with obvious bringing in of israel for no reason into this. as if a million other countries don't fuck their own citizens over?
comparing americans' to gazans? are you out of yourfucking mind gw?
you had my trust for many years, but you've lost it.
"you had my trust for many years, but you've lost it."
And - yes - if American police officers had instead trained in Saudi Arabia or some other repressive country, I would have pointed that out instead. But they didn't ... they trained in Israel.
I don't make up the facts ... I just report 'em.
.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHahahahahaahahahahahahahahaahaa!
JHK, is that you?
Hey GW- I've only been 'here' a short time too.
Prior to that, I was busy with other shit.
Doesn't mean I know less than the average ZHer on the topics on which I comment.
In fact - the reverse.
32 weeks=how "many years?" Or were you too busy to pick up on that?
So I'm outside at lunch and notice a syringe lying on the sidewalk. This is a sidewalk in a large metropolitan city that is traversed by everyday people: tourists, workers, children, homeless, etc. I cross the street to go back into work and three cops happen to walk by; the conversation goes like this:
"Hey guys, officers, there's a needle lying on the sidewalk over there (pointing "over there")"
They stop, one cop, asks, "a syringe?"
I respond, "yeah. A needle, a syringe."
He looks down at his hand and then looks up smiling and says, "I'm not touching that!" and they walk away.
Protect and serve, indeed.
Fuck. The. Police. At best ,many are just revenue generators and at worst, thugs.
It has long been recognized (including by apologists for empire such as Brzezinski)
that empire abroad is not compatible with democracy at home.
The repressive tactics practiced against foreigners
will inescapably be escalated in use at home.
Remember, the US already imprisons and executes more of its population
than any other country.
Remember, the "battlefield threats" are claimed to exist everywhere,
and "full spectrum domination" to suppress each and every "potential threat"
is touted as the unending only solution.
Maybe things will get better.
You REALLY shouldn't have taken the whole hit, dude.
