i imagine you're pleased by this story of the thin blue line keeping you safe from drug traffickers;
For nearly six full weeks, 29-year-old Matt Crull said he sat inside a Florida jail for a crime he didn’t commit.
The charge was trafficking heroin, according
to CBS12. It came with a steep potential punishment and bond, which
frightened Crull, who said an officer mistook laundry detergent for
heroin.
“(It’s) very surreal when you’re sitting in jail with a half a million dollars bond,” Crull told WPBF25, “and you can’t go anywhere knowing that you didn’t do wrong.
“In the past, when I have gone to jail, it’s been something where I knew I wasn’t going to be there forever,”
Crull said, according to WPTV. “It’s a lot different than going to jail
and the charge of trafficking of heroin carries a penalty of 25 years
in prison.”
Crull was arrested by Martin County Sheriff’s deputy Steven O’Leary
on Dec. 5, according to WPTV. Sheriff William Snyder says the officer
has been fired after an investigation uncovered that at least 11 people
he put in jail for drug charges were found innocent, the TV station
reported.
“No matter what we do, no matter how hard we try, just based on the
law of possibilities there’s always a possibility that one bad apple
will slip through,” Snyder said, according to WPTV. The TV station
reported that Crull may sue for damages.
Crull was sleeping inside his van in a parking lot before the arrest,
according to CBS12. Officers got word of a “suspicious van” and went to
check it out.
That’s when police say O’Leary found a bag of Tide laundry detergent
and claimed a field test proved it was heroin, CBS12 reported.
“He showed me a picture of the field test kit that he supposedly
conducted, on his phone,” Crull told CBS12. “He never actually showed me
the real test kit.”
But Crull said he was confused how a drug was found in his car in the first place.
“I just looked at him baffled and confused,” he told WPTV, “because I
had no idea as to where 92 grams of heroin came from inside my van.”
Snyder said they “couldn’t find anything credible with what O’Leary
stated” and freed the 11 people, including Crull, who had been accused
of possessing drugs, as reported by CBS12.
Now, Crull has a message for the officer whose arrest stole weeks of his life away.
“I’m not saying he ruined my life,” Crull told WPBF25, “but he
definitely caused me a lot of emotional distress and a lot of stress on
my family.”...........https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/nation-world/national/article225235460.html

this is the sort of government official who is making sure we have 'real news' that's been thru the sanitizer to make sure we aren't contaminated by 'conspiracy theories';
During a government shutdown that furloughed hundreds of thousands of workers, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) continued operating and quietly received a $400,000,000 budget increase to further its insidious agenda to enslave or eradicate a majority of the population. At an agency meeting last Tuesday, FEMA Director Brock Long told regional subordinates that citizens who question the agency’s mission are “nothing more than cattle” and must be treated as hostile combatants.
He cited a recent disturbance in fire-stricken Paradise, CA; local subversives, he said, protested FEMA’s presence by forming a human blockade to prevent agents from unlawfully trespassing on private property or entering the charred remains of scorched homes and businesses. A group of approximately twenty-five persons held protest signs reading “FEMA, WE DON’T WANT YOU HERE” and “FEMA, GO HOME.”
Long told colleagues that agents must not hesitate to use discreet, lethal force if citizens defy FEMA’s authority, and reminded them that powers granted by the Patriot Act absolve agents of criminal maleficence when acting in the line of duty. He warned them, however, not to shoot anybody in the presence of media personalities.
Our FEMA source said the following: “Brock Long continues to perceive everyday people as a threat to his authority. And what happened in California has strengthened his paranoia. He wants the population subservient to FEMA. To him, you’re all livestock ready for the slaughterhouse. We’re talking about a man who has ordered agents to toss people off boats. Even supervisors who disagree with his policies are powerless to stop him.”
This, our source added, is because Long, who was appointed by Trump in June 2017, still has the president’s ear. He admits, however, that Trump may be oblivious of Long’s hatred of Americans and propensity for violence. Long is a master manipulator; he told Trump he wanted to help him make America Great Again and spun yarns about abolishing Obama-era laws and rebuilding the agency’s tarnished image.
“Brock is and always has been a Deep State operative. Trump probably didn’t know and supported him because he took advice from his inner circle, and some of them, unbeknownst to Trump, are Deep State, too. As long as Brock holds a position of power, Americans are in grave danger,” our source said.
He believes Long would be ousted only under two circumstances: Either FEMA’s Fifth Column movement pose an unprecedented challenge to his authority or President Trump has an epiphany and recognizes Long for what he truly is—demonic.
“I’m doubtful that will happen. It ought to have happened by now. If anyone beneath him questions his motives, he yells and screams at them. Then he puts on his public face. It’s been this way now for the last two years, and if Trump is reelected in 2020, that means Brock Long’s reign of terror will last at least another six years,” our source said...........http://concerneduspatriots.com/fema-director-calls-citizens-cattle/

a thirty nine second video displays clearly for me, that 'our' government only wants you to have the 'news' it deems fit for you, so much for free speech;

one of many indications of the decline of the empire we all can applaud;
With reports that the European Union is close to establishing its trade vehicle for facilitating trade with Iran, the Trump Administration has issued a statement warning them not to defy the US sanctions, in any way.
The EU solution is a clearing house for the trades, which allow companies to pay for Iranian goods, and Iran to pay EU companies for services, without any money crossing borders, cutting the banks out of it.
With reports that the European Union is close to establishing its trade vehicle for facilitating trade with Iran, the Trump Administration has issued a statement warning them not to defy the US sanctions, in any way.
“The choice is whether to do business with Iran or the United States," Sen. Tom Cotton (Republican-Arkansas), told the AP.The US reimposed sanctions on Iran after withdrawing from the P5+1 nuclear deal. EU nations did not withdraw from the deal, and companies are still allowed to trade with Iran. This, however, is difficult because US sanctions are scaring most banks away.
“I hope our European allies choose wisely.”
The EU solution is a clearing house for the trades, which allow companies to pay for Iranian goods, and Iran to pay EU companies for services, without any money crossing borders, cutting the banks out of it.
Long-term, the US worries that the alternative money payment system could become successful enough to compete with the international bank transfer system known as SWIFT. The fear is that it could eventually supplant SWIFT as the leading global institution for financial institutions to send and receive information about banking transactions.
Secondly, the US is concerned that other countries might try to route transactions through the European system just to circumvent US sanctions, the adviser said.
Thirdly, while the Europeans have signaled that the alternative money transfer system would be used only for humanitarian transactions, the US is suspicious that it could be used for non-humanitarian transactions to evade US sanctions, the adviser said.

the fourth amendment is gone. the police state is here, albeit in a juvenile form as of now. mr' whitehead will show you much evidence of that opening in the following article;
Whatever dangerous practices you allow the government to carry out now—whether it’s in the name of national security or protecting America’s borders or making America great again—rest assured, these same practices can and will be used against you when the government decides to set its sights on you.
We’ve been having this same debate about the perils of government overreach for the past 50-plus years, and still we don’t seem to learn, or if we learn, we learn too late.
For too long now, the American people have allowed their personal prejudices and politics to cloud their judgment and render them incapable of seeing that the treatment being doled out by the government’s lethal enforcers has remained consistent, no matter the threat.
All of the excessive, abusive tactics employed by the government today—warrantless surveillance, stop and frisk searches, SWAT team raids, roadside strip searches, asset forfeiture schemes, private prisons, indefinite detention, militarized police, etc.—will eventually be meted out on the general populace.
At that point, when you find yourself in the government’s crosshairs, it will not matter whether your skin is black or yellow or brown or white; it will not matter whether you’re an immigrant or a citizen; it will not matter whether you’re rich or poor; it will not matter whether you’re Republican or Democrat; and it certainly won’t matter who you voted for in the last presidential election...........https://www.lewrockwell.com/2019/01/john-w-whitehead/jackboots-in-the-morning-no-one-is-spared-from-this-american-nightmare/

i haven't liked or respected any of 'our' presidents since jfk but i know a lot of people who've placed their bet on hurricane trump. the following article may go far enough to show them how their faith isn't justified;
There
he was, right there on the stage to the right side of Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo who was briefing the press on America’s position
concerning the recent coup in Venezuela. I rubbed my eyes—was I seeing
what I thought I was seeing?
It
was Elliot Abrams. What was HE doing there? After all, back in February
2017, after then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had pushed for his
nomination as Deputy Secretary of State, it was President Trump himself
who had vetoed his appointment.
Here is how the anodyne account in Wikipedia describes it:
In February 2017, it was reported that Abrams was Secretary of State Rex Tillerson‘s first pick for Deputy Secretary of State, but that Tillerson was subsequently overruled by Trump. Trump aides were supportive of Abrams, but Trump opposed him because of Abrams’ opposition during the campaign. [emphasis mine]
Abrams
during the 2016 campaign had been a NeverTrumper who vigorously opposed
Donald Trump and who had strongly attacked the future president’s “Make
America Great Again,” America First foreign policy proposals.
Abrams,
a zealous Neoconservative and ardent globalist was—and is—one of those
foreign policy “experts” who has never seen a conflict in a faraway
country, in a desert or jungle, where he did not want to insert American
troops, especially if such an intervention would support Israeli
policy. He was deeply enmeshed in earlier American interventionist
miscues and blunders in the Middle East, even incurring charges of
malfeasance...........http://www.unz.com/article/venezuela-the-deep-state-and-subversion-of-the-trump-presidency/
