here i post another item from my documents file about law enforcement. its something i saved years ago thinking it was relevant to those times, and believe to be even more so today. i have no idea where i found this so its parentage is unknown;

“Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God” Thomas Jefferson

If law enforcement continues to treat the citizenry as their enemy they should not be surprised if the citizenry comes to believe them.

The people who wrote the laws were thinking about citizens and not government, which, somehow, can’t be a terrorist, so it’s OK for “our government” to ignore the law. The Supreme Court was intended to be an institution to protect you from government and its agents when they overstep their bounds. Americans can’t count on courts for justice. In the police state being erected around us, police and other government agents can probe, poke, Taser, search, seize, strip and generally shove anyone they see fit in almost any circumstance, with the courts blessing.

The Supreme Court’s rulings over the past 10 years reveals a steady trend towards pro-police state rulings concerned with keeping order, protecting government agents and not about keeping Constitutional rights protected.

The Court said that police officers who needlessly used force by shooting multiple times at a man and his passenger in a stopped car, killing both individuals have immunity. Police using the excuse of “reasonable suspicion” can stop cars and question drivers based only on anonymous tips, no matter how dubious, and without witnessing any troubling actions.

The Court granted “qualified immunity” to Secret Service officials who relocated anti-Bush protesters, despite the protesters’ First Amendment right to freely speak, assemble, and petition their government leaders.

The Supreme Court ruled that persons who aren’t under arrest must clearly raise their Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination to avoid having their refusal to answer police questions used against them in a criminal trial. A unanimous Court said police may use unreliable drug-sniffing dogs to conduct warrantless searches of cars during routine traffic stops.

A divided Court said that a person arrested is presumed innocent until proven guilty but must submit to forcible extraction of their DNA. The Supreme Court said that police have broad authority to stop, search and question individual’s and any arrested person, who is processed in jail, can be strip searched by police or jail officials.

The Supreme Court placed their trust in the judgment of police officers, rather than in the Constitution, when they gave police greater leeway to break into homes or apartments without a warrant even if it’s the wrong home.

A majority of the Supremes agreed that refusing to answer when a policeman asks “What’s your name?” can rightfully be considered a crime. The Supreme Court confirmed that the President and the military can arrest and indefinitely detain individuals, including American citizens.

Justices refused to hear the case of a Texas man who was shot by police through his closed bedroom door when his home was subject of a no-knock, SWAT raid based solely on the suspicion that there were legally-owned firearms in his household.

Police who don’t know their actions violate the law aren’t guilty of breaking the law. The Supreme Court allowed police who clearly used excessive force when they repeatedly tasered a pregnant woman during a routine traffic stop to have immunity from prosecution.

If you aren’t polite or somehow “disrespect” an officer, he may arrest you on a trumped up charge or even physically abuse you.  The stories of this are too many to count. What these court rulings show is an official government attitude that interprets the Constitution one way for the elite and a second way for the underclasses: you and me. Historically the complicity of the courts was the final piece to fall before the totalitarian beast stepped into the light. If history is a guide, then our future is frightening.

You’ll need to use all your abilities to defend your Constitutional rights against the SWAT thugs that are only ‘doing their job’. The number of SWAT team raids in America every year is significantly greater than it was 25 years ago when there were approximately 3,000 SWAT raids in America.  There are now more than 80,000 SWAT raids each year in America mostly on private homes. Usually “a battering ram, boot, or some sort of explosive device” is used to force entry into a home. SWAT raids search for drugs and in at least a third of these raids, no drugs of any kind are found. In cases where it’s suspected that there’s a weapon in the home, police only find one a third of the time.

More than 100 American families are attacked by SWAT teams at home every day. Less than 10% of SWAT assaults are for “hostage, barricade or active-shooter scenarios”. Even small towns are getting SWAT teams now.  30 years ago few small communities had a SWAT team.  Now many do. When you start arming the police and training them like military units, eventually they start acting like military units and with frightening results.

“Consumers” would say, “The law is the law. People have to obey the law.” Segregation was the law, as was slavery and apartheid. The law required the round-ups of Jews in Nazi Germany. When laws violate God’s laws, man’s laws aren’t deserving of respect or compliance. “Consumers” would say Stormtrooper raids that leave wounded infants are the price we must pay to be protected from whatever “threats” our rulers imagine. We’ve yet to find a way around letting power hungry idiots decide everything.

A little-known tactic allows cops to secretly enter private residences, search, seize property, and then leave without notifying the homeowner. These searches, known as “sneak and peek” warrants, have been rapidly increasing since 9/11. Secret searches reduce/eliminate the privacy and freedom of those targeted in the investigations that are legally innocent until proven guilty. The risk of police barging in on unsuspecting people despite investigators’ best efforts to avoid contact could create dead or wounded.

When police enter without notice, they will appear identical to criminal home invaders. Violent confrontations may arise, as they often do with the use of standard “no-knock” warrants. Clandestine “black bag jobs” are a perfect environment for corrupt government agents. If their objective is to stage a robbery, they can steal property for their own benefit and never report it. Pocketing cash and valuables would be quite easy for state-sanctioned burglars operating without any witnesses. Officers also have an unchecked ability to plant evidence and incriminate anyone. The secrecy and lack of witnesses in these situations makes it incredibly difficult to hold police accountable for any wrongdoing.

i go to the link below every tuesday when it appears out of nowhere like magic. there i found this sentence below which i consider well said;

the Deep State is the highest possible level of organized crime.

you tell yourself you live in a system with a 'free press' but neglect to consider that there are forces in existence that profit by making that not so, and here you will be exposed to more possibilities than the things you've been fed. you wonder why the truth of jfk's murder or the lie of 911 doesn't get covered at least as a possibility, till you read this;


Why do mainstream media reporters within ostensibly free democracies act just like state media propagandists? Why are they so reliably pro-establishment, all throughout every mainstream outlet? Why do they so consistently marginalize any idea that doesn’t fit within the extremely narrow Overton window of acceptable opinion?Why does anyone who inconveniences western establishment power always find themselves on the losing end of a trial by media? Why are they so dependably adversarial toward anything that could be perceived as a flaw in any nation outside the US-centralized power alliance, and so dependably forgiving of the flaws of the nations within it?
The way I see it there are only two possible explanations for the unanimous consensus in mass media on these issues:
Explanation 1: The consensus exists because the mass media reporters are all telling the truth all the time.
OR
Explanation 2: The consensus exists because there is some kind of system in place which keeps all mass media reporters lying to us and painting a false picture about what’s going on in the world.
Those are the only two possibilities, and only one can be true, since any mixture of the two would result in the loss of consensus.
Most mainstream westerners harbor an unquestioned assumption that Explanation 1 is the only possibility. The things they see on CNN, the BBC and the ABC are all accurate descriptions of what’s really going on in the world, and the consensus in their descriptions exists because they’re all describing the same objective reality...........https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/12/10/how-the-plutocratic-media-keeps-its-staff-aligned-with-establishment-agendas/

you either believe what the tv and schools tell you or you've discovered they lie and look for some reality elsewhere and here you can see you ain't alone;



A “Survey on American Fears” from Chapman University’s Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences found a large percentages of folks believe conspiracy theories. This is especially true of the Big Two. This shows the percentages of those who agreed or strongly agreed to the question of government cover-ups and concealment of important information. A majority thought so on 9/11, and a near majority on JFK.
The 9/11 attacks: 54.3%
The JFK assassination: 49.6%
I have always felt 9/11 was low-hanging fruit. Even a cursory examination shows enormous holes in the conventional narrative. Of all the topics I have conversations about with normal people, 9/11 is the one they respond well too. This is even more so abroad. Since by and large I am speaking now to the choir, here is a simple high-impact method to broach the 9/11 topic...........https://www.winterwatch.net/2018/12/american-believe-in-major-conspiracy-theories-survey-finds/

there was a time and not so long ago that i would have come down on the side of the jews on this subject but time and lots of information gathering has shown me there is much in this piece we all would do well to consider. to discover who owns you find out who you're not allowed to criticize;


By now, I’m guessing most readers have no doubt heard about the recent CNN survey conducted in Europe regarding “anti-Semitism” and “Holocaust awareness,” which has the organized Jewish community frantically kvetching.
Apparently, a troubling number of Europeans recognize the reality of Jewish power and influence in society, mass media, finance, and government, i.e., they hold “anti-Semitic” views. Because understanding basic facts about Jews is fundamentally “anti-Semitic,” according to the organized Jewish community and the Jewish dominated mass media.

Anti-Semitic stereotypes are alive and well in Europe, while the memory of the Holocaust is starting to fade, a sweeping new survey by CNN reveals. More than a quarter of Europeans polled believe Jews have too much influence in business and finance. Nearly one in four said Jews have too much influence in conflict and wars across the world.

One in five said they have too much influence in the media and the same number believe they have too much influence in politics.

Meanwhile, a third of Europeans in the poll said they knew just a little or nothing at all about the Holocaust, the mass murder of some six million Jews in lands controlled by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime in the 1930s and 1940s.

Those are among the key findings of a survey carried out by pollster ComRes for CNN. The CNN/ComRes poll interviewed more than 7,000 people across Europe, with more than 1,000 respondents each in Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland and Sweden.

the true believers who tell us israel is america made in a mid eastern version and reject any claims of apartheid need only read this small bit here to have their hypocrisy made clear here;

The presence of Israeli Jews in the West Bank is in contravention of international law. 600,000 Israeli Jews are already living there; now Israel is creating policy for Jewish-only communities. Apartheid on top of illegal settlement.

from Middle East Monitor

The legislation committee at the Israeli Knesset yesterday approved 200 extra communities where non-Jewish inhabitants can be banned, Arab48 reported.

MK Bezalel Smotrich, from the Jewish Home party, initiated the bill to add the new communities to the list of areas which enjoy power to choose the families and persons who are planning to move in to them.

The majority of the 700 communities which enjoy this right are based in the Galilee. Critics have said this racist policy is another means through which Israel plans to Judaise the areas and wipe away their Palestinian history by banning Arabs from living in them.

Smotrich claims the law is needed because non-Jews do not keep up with the social fabric of the communities......https://israelpalestinenews.org/can-you-say-israeli-apartheid-200-jewish-only-communities-approved/

there's enough to piss off everyone in this exploration of amazon being gifted much cash by a state government, and lots of things that should be considered in the practices of 'our' government no matter where they are found;

Students at a New York public university are baffled and outraged by an endorsement from their school’s board of directors of a controversial city giveaway to the company owned by the world’s richest man. Their endorsement follows a tuition hike adding to the students’ outrage.
The board members of the City University of New York (CUNY) provided valuable public- relations credibility for a multibillion-dollar subsidy to Amazon for establishing a second headquarters in the New York area. The board’s statement claimed that the move would somehow benefit the school’s largely low-income students — not typically prime candidates for Amazon’s high-paying jobs.
“They’re using CUNY for political gain when CUNY itself, the members that make up CUNY, are adamantly against it,” Carlos Jesus Calzadilla, a Brooklyn College student and founder of the YPA, told WhoWhatWhy. “Thompson is irresponsible. We’ve been calling on CUNY to get more funding and instead they’re doing tuition hikes again, adjunct professors have poverty wages, infrastructure is crumbling, hiring freezes everywhere.”
Students were left to question how the city could afford to give Amazon huge tax breaks while their campuses were not receiving the attention or funding they required. In a Facebook event created by the Brooklyn College chapter of the Young Progressives of America (YPA), a nonprofit that encourages young people to “implement America’s progressive agenda and facilitate positive change,” the organization says that CUNY should be focusing on its current problems, such as decrepit learning environments and inadequate pay for adjunct professors, rather than currying favor with one of the world’s richest men...............https://whowhatwhy.org/2018/12/10/ny-students-arent-buying-amazons-sweetheart-deal/
