Chatsworth, GA — A family is outraged and a great-grandmother
recovering after she was tasered in her breast for failing to understand
police when they told her to drop a knife she was using to reportedly
cut flowers.
According to police, they received a call from a Boys and Girls club
employee noting that Martha Al-Bishara, 87, was walking a trail with a
knife. The caller noted that Al-Bishara was not threatening anyone and
appeared to be “walking around looking for something, like, vegetation
to cut down or something.” She also had a bag.
According to her family Al-Bishara’s taser attack was captured on
body camera footage and they were able to watch it. However, citing
pending charges against the great-grandmother, police are not releasing
it publicly.
The family told police that Al-Bishara was simply on the property to
cut dandelions with a kitchen knife—a story backed up by the transcripts
of the 911 call. The bag in her hand, the description from the 911
call, and the fact that the woman never threatened anyone should’ve
given officers this impression. Instead, however, a gun and a taser were
pointed at her.
Being that Al-Bishara speaks Arabic, she likely did not understand
the officers when they were telling her to put down the knife.
According to the family, the video shows Chatsworth Police Chief
Josh Etheridge pointing a gun at Al-Bishara before another officer
deploys the taser striking the great-grandmother in her left breast and
her stomach.

we've heard these things for years and maybe now its getting closer to the surface, which we can only hope is so;
Investigative Journalist Jen Moore was found dead in a suburban Washington D.C. hotel room Monday, according to police and shocked and distraught friends and colleagues.
Moore died of an apparent seizure. Police are closely investigating the cause of death after former FBI Agent Robyn Gritz, a friend of Moore’s, made inquiries with homicide detectives Monday afternoon in Prince Georges County, Maryland. Preliminary reports from police said the death was not the result of suicide.
Moore’s body was found by employees at the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Washington, D.C. East – in Capitol Heights, Maryland. The investigation is ongoing. An autopsy had not been scheduled as of late Monday.
Moore, an advocate who investigated abused and trafficked children, had been in the process of investigating allegations by a 26-year-old man that — as a young boy — he was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton and pimped out at private sex parties attended by other D.C. elites.
In fact, just four weeks before her death, Moore filed details of the alleged victim’s claims with the Department of Homeland Security, detailing the allegations against Clinton. Moore contacted Homeland Security beginning on July 6th through July 9th, records show. A week later, she contacted the FBI with identical details about the victim and the shocking allegations against Clinton.
FBI sources report no case has been opened on the evidence supplied by Moore. Homeland Security officials could not be reached for comment.

short and to the point i paste all of this here below and as usual include the link below;
Paul Craig Roberts
To understand how screwed-up America is, consider that patriotism is now associated with the suppression of dissent.
Rich football team owners, who know nothing of the hard lives of most Americans, and the police, who routinely shoot down black people in the streets and in their homes without accountability or due process, are incensed that three Miami Dolphin players kneeled last week during the national anthem to protest the unaccountable police murders of black US citizens.
The Broward County Police Benevolent Association rushed to cut off its nose to spite its face by announcing that it will no longer be part of the Dolphin’s discount ticket program. Now if a cop wants to go to a game, he has to pay full price.
Those who rule us want all protests to occur on an isolated street corner where police can taser and beat the protester without any public notice. They do not want protests at football games where there are tens of thousands of people watching in the stands and millions on television. In such a visible venue, the police cannot taser and beat the protesters.
Moveover, the protests get noticed and cause Americans to wonder what has happened that is so disturbing that black professional athletes risk their highly paid livelihoods for the sake of a public protest. Colin Kaepernick, who originated the protests was fired as quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers for exercising his constitutional rights and has been blacklisted by rich NFL team owners.
Those who protest the protesters are the unAmericans. They are the stupid agents of those who have turned America into a police/warfare state that neglects the needs of its own people in order to serve the greed of the military/security complex and global exploitative corporations.
I am always discouraged when ordinary Americans, themselves victims of the system, say, “well, they can protest but not during the anthem or at a public event.” Those who say this have no idea what an American is.
As Americans themselves no longer know what it means to be an American, little wonder they have lost their country.

its a most wonderful thing to see monsanto begin its long overdue decline and we can only hope its soon enough for the planet and its occupants;

A jury trial in California has
resulted in a guilty verdict against the agrichemical and GMO giant,
Monsanto, now Bayer/Monsanto. The judge has ordered Monsanto to pay
damages of USD 289 Million to former school groundskeeper Dewayne
Johnson, who has non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. His lawyer argued it was caused
by Monsanto’s glyphosate-based weed-killer Roundup.
Not surprisingly Monsanto plans to appeal the verdict. The impact of
the ruling, regardless the outcome of the appeal, will unleash worldwide
consequences that spell huge problems for the entire GMO agrochemicals
business model.
The Johnson trial, Dewayne Johnson v.
Monsanto Co., CGC-16-550128, in California Superior Court in San
Francisco,is the first of more than 5,000 such cases across the United
States awaiting trial for claims that Roundup ingredients cause cancer.
Johnson, age 46, is a former pest
control manager for a California county school system, where he applied
Roundup and Monsanto’s Ranger Pro on school grounds across the county up
to 30 times per year for more than two and a half years.
According to the magazine Insurance Journal,
the guilty verdict could influence the outcome of thousands of similar
cases against Monsanto glyphosate-based Roundup. Notably, the same law
firm, California-based Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman, PC is
involved as part of the legal team in many of the other cases awaiting trial.
Monsanto Exposed in Trial
Robert Kennedy Jr, co-counsel in the
case against Monsanto wrote a summary of the court cross-examinations by
plaintiff lawyers as well as Monsanto lawyers. It revealed a
devastating pattern of Monsanto suppression of negative carcinogenic
test results, lies and huge payments to their “expert” scientific
witnesses to support unproven Monsanto safety claims that Monsanto’s
Roundup herbicide was allegedly no carcinogen.

several bits of evidence here in this article by orlov worth reading i believe;
Something happened recently that made me feel like a bit of an endangered species. A set of transnational internet companies, including Google, Facebook, Apple and several others, all synchronously removed content belonging to infowars.com, which is run by Alex Jones. Such synchronicity is a sure sign of conspiracy—something that Alex Jones harps on a lot.
I once appeared on a radio show run by Alex Jones, and he did manage to boil down what I had to say to “the USA is going to collapse like the USSR did,” which is pretty good, considering how poorly we managed to connect, having so little in common. He is a conservative and a libertarian whereas I think that conservatives don’t exist in the US. What have they “conserved” lately—other than the right to bear small arms? As far as libertarianism, I consider proper historical libertarianism as a strain of socialism while its American cooptation is just plain funny: these ones remain libertarian only until they need the services of an ambulance or a fire engine, at which point they turn socialist. To boot, American libertarians like Ayn Rand, who to me was a relentlessly bad writer full of faulty thinking. However, I find her useful as a litmus test for mediocre minds.
Moreover, Jones is political while I remain convinced that national politics in the US is a waste of time. It has been statistically proven that the US is not a democracy: popular will has precisely zero effect on public policy. It doesn’t matter who is president; the difference is a matter of style. Trump is a bull in a China shop while Clinton would have been a deer in the headlights. The result is the same: the US is bankrupt and its empire is over.

here is a good indication of the validity of 'our' elections;
An 11-year-old boy on Friday was able to hack into a replica of the Florida state election website and change voting results found there in under 10 minutes during the world’s largest yearly hacking convention, DEFCON 26, organizers of the event said.
Thousands of adult hackers attend the convention annually, while this year a group of children attempted to hack 13 imitation websites linked to voting in presidential battleground states.
The boy, who was identified by DEFCON officials as Emmett Brewer, accessed a replica of the Florida secretary of state’s website. He was one of about 50 children between the ages of 8 and 16 who were taking part in the so-called “DEFCON Voting Machine Hacking Village,” a portion of which allowed kids the chance to manipulate party names, candidate names and vote count totals.
Nico Sell, the co-founder of the the non-profit r00tz Asylum, which teaches children how to become hackers and helped organize the event, said an 11-year-old girl also managed to make changes to the same Florida replica website in about 15 minutes, tripling the number of votes found there.
Sell said more than 30 children hacked a variety of other similar state replica websites in under a half hour.
“These are very accurate replicas of all of the sites,” Sell told the PBS NewsHour on Sunday. “These things should not be easy enough for an 8-year-old kid to hack within 30 minutes, it’s negligent for us as a society.”
