The California Democrat's disgusting rhetoric recalls the worst of Dick Cheney while advancing Obama's agenda
In 1968, Nixon Attorney General John Mitchell similarly told the public in the face of rising concerns over government eavesdropping powers that "any citizen of this United States who is not involved in some illegal activity has nothing to fear whatsoever." That is the noble tradition which the Obama White House, Dianne Feinstein and their GOP partners are continuing now.
As a devastating series of cyberattacks struck the heart of the national-security establishment, the Feds set out to destroy the legendary hacker and radical anarchist by any means necessary
A 17 minute out take montage of video footage of empty promises by Sheriff Staton regarding ICE (Immigration) holds. frustrated citizens beg for answers and the sheriff appears to only give lip service and then one week latter dodges the questions and the citizens at his office door.
On monday 12/17, ACT Network protesters met back up at the Multnomah County building in southeast Portland to hear a response from Sheriff Staton on whether or not he will continue to comply with ICE holds.
The two boys accused of the Aurora, CO Batman theater shooting and Newton, CT school shoots had fathers who until then were going to blow the whistle on global bank fraud and economic meltdown; all three cases were timed to distract the public and involved evidence of additional shooters who set up the accused; at least two involved same time/case police drills like false flags; and evidence the TCT alleged shooter took care to prevent deaths and those shot were not shot by him or his weapons. These fit with the FBI setting up Mohammed as an excuse to have Portland in the Joint Terrorism Task Force and pre-written legislation or policies and talking points. In each of these four cases the evidence is destroyed, witnesses silenced, accusers anonymous and unbelievable, and the facts don't fit the official story. Two of the boys are heavily drugged and not allowed proper legal representation or health care, and the drugs are powerful for mind-altering, memory-destroying, personality-changing. At least two of the boys evidence the types of drug-caused hypnotism the US government has used repeatedly. In each case, proper police investigation and evidence protection was not followed, and the public is not allowed the videos, 9-1-1 calls, witness reports, etc. that contradict the official story that does not make sense.
WASHINGTON -- In the wake of Friday's mass killing at an elementary school in Connecticut, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Sunday that she plans to introduce an assault weapons ban bill on the first day of the new Congress.

Public event at PCC Cascade, Portland, Oregon 6:30 PM 11/8/12 Open to the public
The proposed agreement between the City Council and the Department of Justice to provide Portland with a police force which citizens can supposedly trust will no longer violate our civil rights. That agreement proposes hiring more police staff at tax payer expense - as if the fox can now be trusted to guard the hen house while the blood of chickens is still drying on his chin.
Please make available to the Occupy Portland office the mailing address for the inmate at the coast prison who was arrested for protesting at the Occupy Portland encampment last fall so caring citizens like myself can encourage him.

On Oct. 3rd, 2012 Wired.Com's (or Wired Magazine's) Danger Room came out with Spencer Ackerman's story of a leaked although unclassified U.S. Army "chart" that lists indicators and behaviors for identifying people who are supposedly becoming radicalized to terrorist potential. But what is so startling about this Army's presumptively rational analysis (more like propagandic analysis) is its broad categorization of symptoms for identifying those thought alienated enough to become potential terrorist material.
The U.S. 2012 NDAA legislation Obama signed 12-31-11 is similar to Hitler's 1933 fascist laws the SS and Gestapo used to target persons in Germany for arrest, imprisonment and execution without probable cause; and confiscate millions of dollars of property.

"To Protect and to Serve" was a motto adopted by LAPD way back when. It has a ring to it and a history, and also can be interpreted in various ways. But maybe if some simple meaningful statement, or motto, was stenciled on the cop car doors as a reminder of their legitimate mission...

The hate machine, lie machine, and the money machine are all on full blast with intent to kill any chance progressives and liberals have standing—especially President Obama and some Senators. The Republican strategy has been to deny, ignore, deceive, and attack. What is also becoming known, since there is now no other viable alternative candidate in Ron Paul, is that the Romney/ Ryan team will likely be a huge disaster in the making for a majority of Americans. So despite what well seems like another stolen election in the making, such as with disenfranchising voters with new State laws, alienated, apathetic, disappointed, disheartened, angry, resentful, confused, Americans, and all independent minds must get out and vote in huge numbers this election—because this election still deeply matters.
Government—never clarified what constitutes a (belligerent); or militant; or what belligerent activities (directly aligned with a militant) to order a belligerent's arrest or indefinite detention. Sections of 2012 NDAA are so broad, it appears U.S. Government or the President could (retroactively) deem an American's past 1st Amendment activities prior to passage of 2012 NDAA—supported hostilities, terrorism or (Belligerents) to order the arrest and Indefinite Detention of any U.S. Citizen, writer, group or organization.

"Updates as of 4:40 PM" from Committee Against Political Repression:
Around 3:00 PM today, Matt was taken to a contempt of court hearing. The judge decided to make the hearing private instead of public. It is our understanding that this action is unprecedented since the McCarthy Era of political witch hunts. The entire 2nd floor of the Federal Court House in Seattle where the grand jury itself was taking place was closed off to the public as well as the 13th floor where the contempt hearings were taking place. As of this writing, Leah has not been taken to her contempt hearing yet. As of 4:00 PM, Matt is now in federal custody. He has another hearing scheduled on Wednesday, September 26th. We do not know where is being taken yet, but supporters are still at the court house to support him. As of 4:30 PM, Leah was released and re-subpoenaed. She does not know the date of her next subpoena.

A cabal attacked the banking structure intending to take it down. They wanted to collapse it and buy all the assets up cheaply. They used collateral from the Durham Trust (a holder of an 1875 GOLD bond) to underwrite a series of risky ventures. Those ventures were echoes of the same basic strategies employed in 1929 that brought the markets down then and resulted in the LAST GREAT DEPRESSION. This article details correspondence between the holder of the bonds and Sir David Tweedie...the head of the international Accounting Standards Board.

Solidarity with grand jury resistors on August 30th
STARE KIEJKUTY, Poland — On an idyllic lake surrounded by woods and a double row of mesh-and-razor-wire fences about 100 miles north of Warsaw, there stands a secluded villa that the CIA once used to interrogate - and allegedly torture - top al Qaida suspects.
On the grounds of the Polish intelligence-training academy and nicknamed "Markus Wolf" for the former East German spy chief, it's the focal point for a top-secret probe that Polish prosecutors have launched into how their government tolerated rampant violations of international and Polish law.
If there were a lightening rod to energize political apathy in this heavily propagandized world democratic right of dissent, such as to challenge corrupt government practice, should be it. But certain U. S. leaders' apparent intention to incarcerate and punish Julian Assange for leaking U.S. secrets puts our black methods in the limelight. What were his motives and equally what has been the character of U.S. foreign policy? It seems revelations were meant to highlight U.S. corruption as people around the world have come to fear American brutality. Many around the globe know the United States as a rogue bully of an empire that regularly uses intimidation to get its way. It takes a real macho government to push around countries like Ecuador, Sweden and lapdog England. As has been shown over and over the United States does not respect law, legal distinctions or diplomatic norms.
