two posts in a row providing examples of how you are protected and served by american police;


The Eighth Circuit US Court of Appeals thinks it is appropriate for police officers to use any force needed to ram a driver with an expired registration sticker off the road. That was what happened to Jerica Jena Moore-Jones as she was driving her white 2014 Dodge Challenger on Interstate 30 in Arkansas on November 7, 2015.
State trooper Anthony Todd Quick saw that he could issue an easy ticket, so he pulled behind Moore-Jones and turned on his overhead lights. Moore-Jones immediately slowed, but the road shoulder was unlit, dark and narrow — less than the width of her car. She did not feel safe. So she proceeded at 35 MPH — 20 MPH under the speed limit. So she proceeded for 42 seconds to find a wider spot, but the road was still narrow. Because she passed an exit, however, Trooper Quick decided to ram the Challenger off the road with the precision immobilization technique (PIT) maneuver. The Challenger was knocked into a ditch, sending Moore-Jones and her daughter to the hospital.
Moore-Jones sued the officer for using excessive force, and US District Judge J. Leon Holmes agreed the officer was out of line. After watching the dashcam video, the lower court judge did not believe Moore-Jones was fleeing. On appeal, however, a three-judge panel last month endorsed the trooper’s conduct.
“The right to be free from a PIT maneuver in these circumstances was not sufficiently definite,” Judge William Duane Benton wrote for the Eighth Circuit panel. “From a reasonable officer’s perspective, she refused to comply with commands to pull over. In November 2015, Quick was justified in using some force to secure compliance.”.........https://govtslaves.info/2018/12/16/police-can-run-non-violent-suspects-off-the-road-federal-appeals-court-supports-state-trooper-who-rammed-a-woman-off-the-road-for-failing-to-stop-within-42-seconds-over-a-paperwork-violation/

this post is a clear example of how stupid, at best, things have become in the empire where you can be assaulted by the 'thin blue line' for being involved in legal activities. this is bound to make you feel safe and protected i know;


Police are seizing cars because their owners visit legal, state-licensed marijuana dispensaries. A lawsuit alleges that Michigan sheriff’s deputies are watching dispensaries for cars to confiscate.
Police are seizing cars because the owners are carrying as little as $10 worth of marijuana, Reason claims. Furthermore, Wayne County, Michigan is demanding car owners pay a $1,200 fine to get their vehicles back.
Police are still seizing cars in Wayne County (Detroit) even though the government has “decriminalized” marijuana there. For example, sheriff’s deputies seized and impounded Crystal Sisson’s car because she was carrying $10 worth of legal marijuana.

Police Are Seizing Cars Because Owners Buy Decriminalized Marijuana

Moreover, “Sisson is charged with illegally occupying a place where controlled substances are sold,” Reason reports. That means Sisson bought the weed at a legal dispensary licensed by Wayne County.
Sisson finds herself stuck in a legal grey area because she bought “medical marijuana.” To elaborate, it is legal to buy cannabis in Michigan but illegal to smoke it.
Now Sisson needs to pay Wayne County $1,200 to get her car back. If Sisson does not pay the fine, she forfeits the car and it becomes county property...........https://govtslaves.info/2018/12/16/police-are-seizing-cars-at-state-licensed-marijuana-dispensaries/

caitlin here posts twenty one thoughts about the empires assault on truth in the form of julian assange;


1. I write a lot about the plight of Julian Assange for the same reason I write a lot about the Iraq invasion: his persecution, when sincerely examined, exposes undeniable proof that we are ruled by a transnational power establishment which is immoral and dishonest to its core.
2. Assange started a leak outlet on the premise that corrupt and unaccountable power is a problem in our world, and that the problem can be fought with the light of truth. Corrupt and unaccountable power has responded by detaining, silencing and smearing him. The persecution of Assange has proved his thesis about the world absolutely correct.
3. Anyone who offends the US-centralized empire will find themselves subject to a trial by media, and the media are owned by the same plutocratic class which owns the empire. To believe what mass media news outlets tell you about those who stand up to imperial power is to ignore reality.
4. Corrupt and unaccountable power uses its political and media influence to smear Assange because, as far as the interests of corrupt and unaccountable power are concerned, killing his reputation is as good as killing him. If everyone can be paced into viewing him with hatred and revulsion, they’ll be far less likely to take WikiLeaks publications seriously, and they’ll be far more likely to consent to Assange’s silencing and imprisonment. Someone can be speaking 100 percent truth to you, but if you’re suspicious of him you won’t believe anything he’s saying. If they can manufacture that suspicion with total or near-total credence, then as far as our rulers are concerned it’s as good as putting a bullet in his head............https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/12/17/twenty-one-thoughts-on-the-persecution-of-julian-assange/

"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”

And a society grows weak when old politicians accumulate a national debt they know they will never live to repay.

paul craig roberts usually gets right to the point and here he does again describing part of our current reality;

How does the West get away with its pretense of being an alliance of great democracies in which government is the servant of the people?
Nowhere in the West, except possibly Hungary and Austria, does government serve the people.
Who do the Western governments serve? Washington serves Israel, the military/security complex, Wall Street, the big banks, and the fossil fuel corporations.
The entirety of the rest of the West serves Washington.
Nowhere in the West do the people count. The American working class, betrayed by the Democrats who sent their jobs to Asia, elected Donald Trump and the American people were promptly dismissed by the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton as “the Trump deplorables.”
The Democrats, like the Republicans, serve power, not the people.
In Europe we see the squashing of democracy everywhere.
British prime minister May has turned Brexit into subservience to the EU. She has betrayed the British people and has not yet been hung off of a lamp post, which shows how acceptance the British people are of betrayal. The British people have learned that they do not count. They are as a nothing.........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2018/12/16/the-myth-of-western-democracy/

here in twenty minutes you can hear trump tell you the official story is a lie, though i didn't hear him use those exact words. and there's more, but remember its a theater and its meant to obfuscate and divide at least. then it gets into q and predictions and such at which point i wander off;
