The Chicago Police’s CIA-style black site, Homan Square, has seen more people detained than died on 9/11 or imprisoned at Guantanamo, according to a new report by the Guardian. The newspaper, which sued the Chicago police to obtain further details on Homan Square, reports overwhelming targeting of minorities as well as other sordid and violative policies. From 2004 to 2015, at least 3,500 people were detained at Homan Square. These records do not cover the full span of the facility’s tenure, as it has been open since 1995. According to the Guardian, a grossly disproportionate ratio of detainees were minorities, “many accused of low-level drug crimes, [and] faced with ...
Shell dumps ALEC over climate-change stance

WASHINGTON -- Even as it faces criticism from environmental groups for efforts to drill in the Arctic, Shell Oil plans to part ways with the lobbying group American Legislative Exchange Council early next year over the controversial group's stance on climate change.“ALEC advocates for specific economic growth initiatives, but its stance on climate change is clearly inconsistent with our own,” Shell spokesman Curtis Smith told Alaska Dispatch News. “We have long recognized both the importance of the climate challenge and the critical role energy has in determining quality of life for people across the world.” Shell has a strained relationship with ...

PARKER — Undulating fields of crops and livestock-dotted pastures are the domain of a trigger-happy bully who brags about a political cloak of invincibility keeping him beyond reach of the law in faithfully conservative Linn County. Adversaries say he has woven a liquor-infused tapestry of fear colored by intimidation, abuse and lies. The saga features stalking, death threats, trespassing, drive-by gunfire, massive explosions, cattle theft, loan defaults, hit-and-run driving and marital strife. Linn County Sheriff’s Department files bulge with complaints about him. There is trepidation among acquaintances to speak freely, a point accentuated by the number expressing ...

My comment: It didn't work, Fox; in fact, it blew up in your face. What is being misunderstood is that this is not so much about Trump as it is about the Republican party, which has lied repeatedly over the last several decades and, when in power, has failed to deliver on any of its promises despite having the ability to do so. The mealy-mouthed games have finally awakened the people of this country who understand that there is a Constitution and it has meaning -- the original meaning in the words, not some load of crap after-the-fact that happens to be convenient for you at the time. The cuckservative games, whether condescending crap that spews repeatedly from John McCain, the ...
9 Reasons Why People Kill Cops

Washington, DC – Recently, the discussion of people being more hostile to law enforcement has arisen. The overriding question for those in the law enforcement community is: why? Why have people become more hostile and more willing to use violence against law enforcement? It’s a question that has a clear answer, but sometimes when a person is inside of a system, they fail to see what is happening outside of that system. Law enforcement officers exist inside an insulated culture. They don’t typically have the opportunity to openly discuss why a trend is occurring with the average citizen. No, the people who show up to the citizen’s meet and greet are not average citizens. ...
A mathematician may have uncovered widespread election fraud, and Kansas is trying to silence her

Kansas loves them some voter fraud hysteria. From going to the Supreme Court to try and make doubly-sure that non-citizens can’t vote in their elections to setting up a voter fraud website where citizens can report every kind of voter fraud except the kinds that have actually happened in the state, Kansas is on the forefront of voter fraud readiness and protection. Except, perhaps, when it comes to the machines they use to record their votes. According to the Wichita Eagle, Wichita State mathematician Beth Clarkson has found irregularities in election returns from Sedgwick County, along with other counties throughout the United States, but has faced stiff opposition ...
IRS Keeps $29,000 It Stole From Innocent Dairy Farmer [Full Thread]

By Heather Callaghan It's not just raw food or family farmers who come under government attack for the type of wholesome food they sell. Sometimes it happens simply because the small business deals in cash. After all, credit card companies charge exorbitant fees and many businesses deal in offline transactions. On the road, credit cards slow the whole process down. Using cash. That's the activity that prompted armed Department of Treasury agents to descend upon Randy Sowers' micro dairy farm. But finding out he was neither a drug dealer nor a terrorist did not lead to the return of his hard-earned wages. Randy believes that the amount of business owners suffering in silence is ...

“When the preferences of economic elites and the stands of organized interest groups are controlled for, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.” Gilens & Page (2014) Remember the two guys that did the study which proved America is a oligarchy? (Not that those of us paying attention really needed a study to verify that.) Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders later even asked Fed Head Janet Yellen during a hearing on Capitol Hill if she thought America was an oligarchy; even she couldn’t deny it. Those two study authors, professors Martin Gilens of Princeton University and ...

A California police officer drew his firearm on a man who was merely filming in his own neighborhood, in an intense moment caught on film. The incident began last Wednesday when Rohnert Park resident Don McComas says he noticed an officer in a patrol vehicle observing him while he latched his boat onto his SUV. “I stood up and just watched him,” McComas described. “He ever so slowly pulled away, circled the court opposite my house and then just parked facing my house. After an honest couple of minutes I pulled out my camera and pressed record.” googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1403197269028-0'); }); >"" ...

Clark, NJ – In what has become an all too common occurrence, a 61-year-old grandmother, Antionette Dilorio, was left in critical condition after being slammed onto the pavement by a police officer during the course of a traffic stop. Dilorio is in critical condition and is currently in a medically induced coma, with multiple bone fractures and numerous missing teeth from the incident, according to WABC 7. “All of a sudden he grabbed my mother in law by the arm, lifted her off her feet in mid-air and slammed her on the ground. All you saw was blood pouring out of her face,” said the driver’s fiance, Crystal Palmieri. Palmieri was dismayed by the amount of forced used by ...
Sheriff Says Seizing Money and Property from Innocent People Does Not Violate Their Rights

Canadian County, OK — An Oklahoma sheriff issued a string of misleading statements on Monday while criticizing a bill that would reign in the state’s abuse of civil asset forfeiture. Canadian County Sheriff Randall R. Edwards suggested that there is no violation of constitutional rights when authorities seize cash and property over alleged drug offenses, even when the person is not convicted of a crime. State Senator Kyle Loveless recently introduced a bill that would bar authorities from seizing money or property unless the suspect is convicted. He was prompted by the discovery that funds and property had been misspent or gone missing in several different cases. “Among the ...

Bloomington, IL — Police are now speaking out about a decision from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that drug dogs signal for drugs nearly every time they are sent to sniff a vehicle or home. This decision shows that police dog searches are not legitimate and that they are just used as a pretense for officers to violate the rights of innocent people. The case stemmed from a 2010 traffic stop in which 20 kilograms of cocaine were found in a vehicle after a search from a police dog named “Lex.” The suspect ended up taking the case to court, and while his sentence was upheld, some very interesting points were uncovered during the investigation. It was ...
The Plot to Destroy Nixon

In his new biography Being Nixon: A Man Divided, Evan Thomas concedes a point. Richard Nixon, he writes, “was not paranoid; the press and the ‘Georgetown set’ really were out to get him.” Carl Bernstein’s review found Thomas’ book deficient in its failure to chronicle the “endemic criminality” of the Nixon presidency. Yet, recent revelations suggest that “endemic criminality” is a phrase that might well be applied to the newsroom of The Washington Post when Bob Woodward and Bernstein worked there. Consider. In All the President’s Men, Woodward and Bernstein admit that, in collusion with Post editors and with the approval of Post ...

A federal lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Children’s Law Center alleging that a deputy sheriff handcuffed two small elementary school students who have disabilities, resulting in pain and trauma, according to a federal lawsuit filed today. In an extremely disturbing video, school resource officer, Kenton County Deputy Sheriff Kevin Sumner, can be seen handcuffing a sobbing 8-year-old boy, referred to in court documents as S.R. The child is so small that Sumner has to lock the child’s biceps together behind his back. What makes the case even more appalling is that the child has a history of trauma and has been diagnosed with ADHD. The other child named in the ...

When cops kill people and aren’t indicted for their murderous actions, the public is often left wondering how in the world this could happen. Well, after meeting “Dr.” William J. Lewinski, the self-proclaimed “expert” in the field of police shootings, you will have a clearer picture of why killer cops get off scot free, most of the time. After receiving his mail order doctorate from the Union for Experimenting Colleges and Universities, Lewinski opened his company called the Force Science Institute Ltd. He then began travelling around the country giving training seminars to police departments. According to the NY, the “training” and ...

They were open carrying in New Holstein, WI when Officer Leigh pulls up and gets out of the car asking for ID. Both armed gentlemen refuse to provide ID. One of the gentlemen asks if they are being detained. She replies that they are not, so they begin to walk away. She asks if they are going to go back to their vehicle and leave the city. They reply that they are not. Her attitude then takes a negative turn when she says, “I can cite you right now. I can detain ...
CONFIRMED: Garland Terrorist Bought Gun From Operation Fast And Furious Dealer At Height Of Scandal

p>A trustworthy source confirmed to Breitbart News that Garland attacker Nadir Hamid Soofi indeed did not buy a 9mm; however, Soofi did purchase a High Point .380 caliber pistol from that Fast and Furious-associated Phoenix gun dealer in February 2010 that federal authorities authorized. According to the Los Angeles Times and a Senate letter, the owner of the gun store, Lone Wolf, denied that he sold a 9mm to Nadir Soofi: “Not here.” What was described in the Times as a “seven-day hold” on the gun purchase transaction was not classified as such. The hold was simply one issued at the point of request for approval on February 24, 2010. Authorities were supposed to ...
Here’s The Politicians Who Were Paid to Make GMO Labeling Illegal (Despite 90% of people wanting labeling)

Want to know where the dirty money is which is helping to make GMO labeling illegal? Shockingly, or perhaps not to the individuals who have been observing the biotech charade, house members who voted to keep the public from knowing what is in their food in the latest land-slide win for Big Food supporters of The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015 (known to its critics as the DARK (Deny Americans the Right to Know Act)) were paid three times as much as representatives who voted to give us the right to label or ban GMO foods. It seems odd that the bill would float through Congress so easily with a 275 to 150 vote when so many Americans have expressed a wish to ...

Clayton County, GA — A tragic and insidious puppycide was reported this week in Clayton County when an officer callously and sadistically shot a puppy in front of children. A family is grieving after witnessing Clayton County police officer Walter Dennard walk up to their five-month-old lab-pit mix and shoot it, claiming the puppy “lunged at him.” “He just shot the dog and stood there with no remorse, no regrets in front of her and her kids,” neighbor Aijohli King told Channel 2 after she witnessed the shooting. Claudette Terry was moving into her new home when officers stopped to harass her friend who was sitting in the driveway. As two officers were ...

Former president Jimmy Carter said Tuesday on the nationally syndicated radio show the Thom Hartmann Program that the United States is now an “oligarchy” in which “unlimited political bribery” has created “a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors.” Both Democrats and Republicans, Carter said, “look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves.” Carter was responding to a question from Hartmann about recent Supreme Court decisions on campaign financing like Citizens United.

As the Free Thought Project previously reported, on Sunday, July 26th, Zachary Hammond was viciously murdered by police while committing the ‘crime’ of assisting a woman with purchasing a plant. Hammond, 19, who was not armed, was shot through a side window “in self-defense” according to Police Chief John Covington. However, the Hammond’s attorney says that the autopsy report proves otherwise. After reviewing the autopsy report, the Hammond’s attorney, Ronnie Richter, stated: “The autopsy indicated that the first shot went into Hammond’s left rear shoulder, throwing him forward in the car, and the second one went at a downward angle into his side ...

Seattle resident Nathaniel Caylor wears a large, conspicuous metal appliance on the right side of his face, a souvenir of a May 5, 2009 incident in which Seattle Police Officer Eugene Shubeck tried to murder him in front of his twenty-month-old son, Wyatt. The police had arrived in response to a third-party report that Caylor, distraught over the death of his wife, was suicidal. Following seventeen surgeries – which included bone grafts and the insertion of metal screws and plates to hold together his shattered face – Caylor was offered $1.975 million by the City of Seattle to settle his federal lawsuit. This is believed to be the largest tax victim-supported settlement arising ...

A car full of teenagers had just left a party and were dropping off a friend when they accidentally knocked at the door of the wrong home. They meant to go to the house next door, and this honest mistake nearly cost them their lives, thanks to one of New Jersey’s finest. An off-duty New Jersey state trooper fired shots at their car as it drove away from his home early Sunday morning. According to the AP, Jesse Barkhorn, 18, who was in the car that night, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that they attended a party earlier and were dropping off one of them at a friend’s house in North Jersey. He said they mistakenly knocked on the door at the house next to their friend’s ...

from the the-innocent-will-just-have-to-live-with-the-reality-of-maximum-efficiency-polic dept The "shoot first, ask for immunity later" mentality of today's law enforcement officers is perfectly highlighted in this story about a US military veteran finding himself on the receiving end of a military-style raid… all because a "helpful" neighbor reported him for being in the "wrong" apartment. (via Amy Alkon) Alex Horton, an Iraq war veteran, was having some work done on his apartment. During the repairs, his landlord put him up in a "model unit." He fell asleep in an apartment otherwise known to be unoccupied. A passing neighbor apparently ...

Halliburton, the transnational oil field services company formerly run by former Vice President and accused war criminal Dick Cheney, is under public scrutiny again after it was revealed its former subsidiary is suing Iraq War veterans for $850,000. Cheney self-approved major bids for his former company and its subsidiaries, which received massive government contracts in Iraq—funded by the American taxpayer—totaling over $39.5 billion. The U.S. war in Iraq has caused the loss of an estimated 1 million lives and Halliburton profited in the billions from contracts that facilitated the bloodshed. One of the lesser known repercussions from the war was the toxic nature of oil work ...
