from the nice-to-see-some-stunned-officers-for-a-change deptMon, Jul 29th 2019 3:54pm — Tim Cushing It usually takes very extreme behavior from law enforcement officers to punch holes in the qualified immunity shield. Fortunately/unfortunately, there's seems to be no shortage of extremely-badly-behaving law enforcement officers. In this case, fielded by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Kansas City Police Department was investigating a homicide. Detectives managed to track the victim's cellphone to an apartment. They also managed to track down the suspect by using a combination of phone records and old fashioned police work. They arrested the suspect and applied for a ...

Nearby news station KPNX initially reported officers would be pulling people over to issue Circle K drink coupons to people following traffic laws. The social media response was swift and critical, with local legal experts challenging the constitutionality of such actions. Several hours later, Tempe police spokesman Detective Greg Bacon clarified that officers ...

They started off by saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Ten minutes later, they were reading the text of a resolution claiming the existence of “overwhelming evidence” that “pre-planted explosives . . . caused the destruction of the three World Trade Center buildings.” And so it was, on July 24, 2019 — nearly 18 years after the horrific attacks that traumatized a nation and changed the world forever — the Franklin Square and Munson Fire District, which oversees a volunteer fire department serving a hamlet of 30,000 residents just outside of Queens, New York, became the first legislative body in the country to officially support a new investigation into the events ...
When Is Violating the Constitution by Pulling Over Motorists With No Legal Justification 'Not a Bad Thing'?

This morning a Phoenix TV station aired a feel-good story about cops who are "rewarding people for good driving behavior" by pulling them over and giving them coupons for drinks at Circle K convenience stores. "If you see a Tempe police officer pulling you over," chirped Colleen Sikora, a correspondent for the NBC affiliate KPNX, "it may not be a bad thing. If an officer sees someone following traffic laws correctly related to bicycles and pedestrians, they can pull you over, but instead of a citation, you'll get a free drink coupon for either a cold drink or hot beverage…They're kicking off the campaign this morning at 8 a.m., so if you see police ...

By Graham Smith On July 23, U.S. Attorney General William Barr gave a speech demanding big players in the tech industry work with government agencies in providing backdoor entry points for encrypted devices and software. Per his reasoning, certain devices and messaging services pose a safety threat by providing a secure, third-party-inaccessible area where crime can rapidly proliferate. He didn’t note that this “warrant-proof encryption” also protects journalists, researchers, and individuals in areas of political unrest living under corrupt governments. Secure encryption also protects and verifies the financial assets and transactions of cryptocurrency holders everywhere. ...

Around the same time, according to a source familiar with the connection, Epstein visited presidential aide Mark Middleton several times at the White House.

Former CIA Officer and whistleblower Kevin Shipp says there are big stories with big implications for America that are unfolding now. One of the biggest earthquakes that is going off will be the high ranking Deep State elite surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein. Shipp says, “Oh my goodness gracious, the Deep State is darn well scared, and some of its political top participants, I guarantee you, they want Epstein gone. There is no doubt about that. I don’t know why the Bureau of Prisons put Epstein in a jail cell with a cop that killed four people and buried them in his back yard. Epstein should have been in solitary confinement under watch. So, whoever made that ...

Good for Catherine Rampell. The Washington Post columnist has just hit Republicans with a strong dose of reality. She’s done the same for anyone who reads her column in yesterday’s Post.The title of Rampell’s column is “Trump Is the True Socialist.” She cites Iowa Republican U.S. Senator Joni Ernst, who just launched her reelection campaign with the following sentence : “Let me be clear: Socialism has no place in the Hawkeye State or America, and I will stop at nothing to protect our Iowa values.”Well, except for one thing: “Iowa values” include a socialist dole in the form of “big fat federal government subsidies for corn ethanol — ...

Here’s the investigation we need now: a blue-ribbon panel revealing who in the world thought Robert Mueller’s testimony would be a good idea. Was it Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff, the chairs of the two committees that dragged this poor man through this needless hell? Was it Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a last-ditch effort to gin up a narrative for impeachment? It surely was championed by the media culture as a day of history, a high-stakes moment in time that would surely resonate. Well, it resonated, all right, echoing across a landscape filled with expectations based on political interests. President Trump’s supporters expected a validation of their dismissal of the Mueller ...

Chicago, IL — Because of their gross negligence and incompetence, the city of Chicago is facing a slew of lawsuits for raiding the homes of innocent people — allegedly by mistake. TFTP has reported on several of these lawsuits in which cops raided a four-year-old’s birthday party and held other children at gunpoint. Now, however, we have learned that one of these families has been raided — mistakenly — three times in just the last four months. “There was no time to breathe in between,” said Krystal Archie, 38, whose home in the 6800 block of South Dorchester Ave has been repeatedly raided by incompetent and often extremely rude cops. “I’d get my ...

Quentin Tarantino journeys into the movie-biz past and replays the Manson murders. (Sony Pictures) Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood is being marketed as "The 9th Film from Quentin Tarantino"—a shoulder-tapping reminder that the golden age of punk-savant cinema that the director inaugurated 27 years ago with Reservoir Dogs, and has since decided to limit to 10 pictures, will soon be over. Well, so he keeps saying.Number nine is a baggy, meandering movie, but it's leagues better than its predecessor, the constipated Hateful Eight. This one is filled with wonderful stuff—mesmerizing stretches of narrative invention and a raft of memorable performances, most notably ...

The Today Show did the same, and even came up with a name for the non-incident: The Brady backlash.

The Myth of Authority: Mnuchin Denies USD Is Used Criminally
Post Date: 2019-07-23 09:15:34 by Deckard

Authority Is an Illusion At the very best it is a euphemism. While “authority” can be used to denote power, it is more commonly understood as a right. Financial authorities, for example, are perceived by large swathes of individuals to have the right to determine how the finances of others are managed. Where this supposed right comes from is a mystery. Though entities like the Federal Reserve and central banks worldwide implement financial policy — setting interest rates, outlawing currencies that compete with state fiat, and taxing the population — they are often perceived to do so with a sort of moral justification. “They are the authorities, so what they say, ...

Of Two Minds – by Charles Hugh Smith Even the most distracted, fragmented tribe of the peasantry eventually notices that they’re not in the top 1%, or the top 0.1%. Let’s posit that America will confront a Great Crisis in the next decade. This is the presumption of The Fourth Turning, a 4-generational cycle of 80 years that correlates rather neatly with the Great Crises of the past: 1781 (Revolutionary War, constitutional crisis); 1861 (Civil War) and 1941 (World War II, global war). What will be the next Great Crisis? Some anticipate another great-power war, others foresee another civil war, still others reckon a military coup is likely, and some view a ...
In Bizarre Move, US House Chaplain Gives ‘Exorcism’ Prayer to Drive Demons Out of Congress

(TMU) — There’s no question about it—things have gotten rough in Congress, especially given the past week’s fallout over Donald Trump’s racist tweets against four Democratic congresswomen. But if the official U.S. House Chaplain Rev. Pat Conroy is to be believed, this isn’t so much a question of the president’s white nationalism or the supposedly “un-American” nature of the four Democratic congresswomen he attacked. Instead, this is a problem of demonic possession of the legislature, or as the Jesuit priest put it, “spirits of darkness.” On Tuesday, the 68-year-old chaplain intervened during the House vote to condemn as racist ...

Surveillance video shows he was singled out. The surveillance video shows several people jaywalking the night Detroit police pounced on Steele Hughes and threw him to the ground, later claiming he appeared "threatening," making them fear for their safety. The video proved the cops were lying when they arrested Hughes on charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing police, leaving him in jail for three days, accusing him of taking an "aggressive posture, claiming he "shrugged violently away" when confronted, insisting the only reason he fell to the ground was because he had lost his balance. The usual cop lies that usually work when there is no video.But in this ...
