A scary culture change: What new law enforcement rhetoric reveals about America - Salon.com: "For many of those less attuned to the city’s politics, however, the patent animosity some officers sent de Blasio’s way was disturbing. New York’s a representative democracy, after all, and de Blasio is the mayor. Don’t the police ultimately work for him? Technically, yes. But the reality is more complicated (a lesson all of de Blasio’s recent predecessors have learned, none more so than David Dinkins). Judging by recent history, and according to the dictates of today’s conventional wisdom, any politician who wants to run New York City not only has to win the most votes, but also has to earn the city polices’ at least grudging acceptance. And by gently criticizing some NYPD practices — as well as revealing that he’s told his African-American son, Dante, to be cautious around law enforcement — de Blasio has seemingly lost the cops’ assent. He may never get it back."

Tim Wise » Resurrecting Apartheid: White Police and Politicians are Waging War on Black America

Tim Wise » Resurrecting Apartheid: White Police and Politicians are Waging War on Black America: "Honestly, when a white man in a place like New Orleans can literally point his weapon directly at not one, not two, but three members of the New Orleans Police Department, and when told to drop his weapon, answer back, “No, you drop your fucking gun,” and remain a breathing, carbon-based life form — as was the case this past April for Derrick Daniel Thomas — then you know you’re dealing with a two-tiered law enforcement regime hardly different from the ones that existed under Jim Crow. Google the NOPD and check out their history if you harbor any doubts about how such an act as Thomas’s would have gone down had he been black."

Tim Wise » Repetitive Motion Disorder: Black Reality and White Denial in America

Tim Wise » Repetitive Motion Disorder: Black Reality and White Denial in America: " Black people have to learn everything about white people just to stay alive. They especially and quite obviously have to know what scares us, what triggers the reptilian part of our brains and convinces us that they intend to do us harm. Meanwhile, we need know nothing whatsoever about them. We don’t have to know their history, their experiences, their hopes and dreams, or their fears. And we can go right on being oblivious to all that without consequence. It won’t be on the test, so to speak."

America: Lost With No Moral Compass | Philip A. Farruggio

America: Lost With No Moral Compass | Philip A. Farruggio: "We have the primitive mindset of chants of "USA USA" as we conducted our Shock and Awe campaign on Iraq... and now parts of Syria and Iraq again. Our Drones shoot missiles that, like our WMDs in 2003, do terrible collateral damage, destroying children in and out of the womb.

Where are the Pro Life anti abortion folks to protest the taking of those lives?  Yet, our Christian Warriors love the fact that we are "Fighting them there so they don't come here" (Of course the 2003 group called Al-Qaeda at that time had maybe a few hundred in their ranks). After 10+ years of our jackboots on their necks, many inhabitants of that region joined up with this fanatical Isis, who by the way our nation actually gave arms and support to when we needed them to overturn Assad of Syria. Whew!!"

In May, 2013, the Senate Armed Services Committee held a hearing on whether it should revise the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF). A committee member asked a senior Pentagon official, Assistant Secretary Michael Sheehan, how long the war on terror would last; his reply: “At least 10 to 20 years.” At least. A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed afterward “that Sheehan meant the conflict is likely to last 10 to 20 more years from today — atop the 12 years that the conflict has already lasted.” As Spencer Ackerman put it: “Welcome to America’s Thirty Years War,” one which – by the Obama administration’s own reasoning – has “no geographic limit.”

"Tony Blair Ordered The London Bombings"

Tony Blair Ordered The London Bombings: "Heifetz ended his conversation with Shalom and eyed his liquor cabinet. If the press runs with this, he thought wistfully, Blair will be exposed as a murderer of his own people. You can kill Israelis and get away with it. You can kill Americans and they'll make you President for a second time. But the Brits are made of wiser stuff. They'll hang Blair from the highest lamppost in London."

"A co-ordinated effort is slowly bringing order out of the chaos," Sir Ian Blair told Sky News in a telltale direct translation of the Freemasons' Satanic motto "Ordo Ab Chao".

When Tony Blair told the press that the bombings bore all the hallmarks of al Qaeda, he broke with tradition and actually told the truth. The fall-guy al Qaeda network is the bastard child of the British intelligence services and the Freemasonic terror school, the occultic Muslim Brotherhood. MI5, MI6 and al Qaeda are virtually indistinguishable. Yes, Mr Blair, the bombings bore all the hallmarks of MI5 - and you know it, precisely because it was you who authorised the attacks.

Blair has obtained the results he wanted: the collapse of all resistance to the imminent introduction of National Identity Cards, the inflaming of public rage against Islam in preparation for an attack on Iran and Syria, and a distraction from the continued illegality of the Iraq war and issues that threaten to overwhelm his administration, such as the Downing Street memo, which evidences fraud and treason at the highest levels of state.

Tony Blair is a dangerous psychopath who must be stopped before he kills and maims again. According to psychologist Dr Paul Broks, his repeated lies and his lust for the blood of innocent people evidence "a plausible psychopath - charming, intelligent, emotionally manipulative, ruthlessly ambitious and self-serving." How much longer do we permit Blair to remain at large? How many more deaths and fake terror attacks will it take before men and women of courage invoke the law and apprehend this monster?

To paraphrase another serial killer, George W. Bush, if we can't bring Tony Blair to justice, we must bring justice to Tony Blair.


I love the Britishes use of the English language.
