(2018) DID YOU TAKE THE #RED PILL? #GunControl WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD

This video says it like it is, truth versus #propaganda and #lies fed to the #American citizens in the attempt to take away, our National #righttobeararms our civil right, the right to defend ourselves from those including government that overthrows our Nation. That is why that right is in there, to protect us from corrupt government.  #Hollywood made a video for #anti-gun control, to take away our #guns. But they are hypocrites. They say, #enough they say we should have done something a long time ago, while they act and make millions on increased violence and killings with what?....That's right...guns. Making the shooter look like a hero, defending the #good from the bad, blood spurs out of people's bodies and mouths and ears, multiple shots are fired with a smile.  #Hollywood? really? Yes, I agree YOU should have done something about it a long time ago.

Musician Arrested For Playing Protest Song

If you watch the video, the cop recites the musician's rights and that includes the rights for artists to perform at a transit area in NY.  We must stand up for our rights, and not allow the authorities to work against our civil rights as citizens.  However, this policeman was asked by his supervisors to arrest this person.  This puts the policeman in a difficult position.  It is our higher authorities that we must confront.

Stop Monsanto Protection Act..Again; Call Congress ACTION

Last week the U.S. House of Representatives decided to introduce the same language for the Continuing Resolution spending bill (H.J.RES.59) that contained the Monsanto Protection Act that Congress passed last spring.

This past March, Monsanto succeeded in sneaking the controversial rider into a must pass spending bill, which is set to expire onSeptember 30th. But now, with the new continuing resolution, the Monsanto Protection Act would be extended for 3 additional months!

The Monsanto Protection Act undermines the basic concept of judicial review and forces the USDA to allow the planting of untested GMO crops even if a federal court ruled that the USDA had not properly considered the environmental or economic risks these new crops pose to family farmers.

If allowed to pass again, this new provision would undermine agency oversight and this dangerous provision could eventually become permanent, allowing Monsanto to succeed in stripping judges of their constitutional mandate to protect consumer rights and the environment, while opening up the floodgates for the planting of new untested GMO crops.

Is Congress Trying to Kill GMO Labeling?

Even worse, right now Congressman Fred Upton (R-MI) is working behind the scenes to introduce a bill that would kill state GMO labeling efforts by preempting it with a bill that would place GMO labeling under federal authority, circumventing successful citizen led efforts in Maine and Connecticut and trying to invalidate the ballot initiative in Washington state before it even passes.

We need your voice today more than ever to stop Monsanto’s shenanigans in Congress!

Click here to make a call to Congress to tell them to vote no on the continuing resolution if it contains any protections for Monsanto or undermines state’s rights to label genetically engineered foods!

http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/go/607?t=7&akid=971.312785.0kPDL9

Even now as we are close to winning, Monsanto, DuPont and the biotech seed and chemical giants are working desperately behind the scenes to thwart our efforts.

While the previous Continuing Resolution that was passed this March is set to expire onSeptember 30th, Roll Call reported this week that House Appropriations Chairman Harold Rogers, (R-KY) has introduced the short-term Continuing Resolution, with the exact same language as last time, which could be voted on as early as next week.

While members of the House are desperate to pitch this new continuing resolution as a “responsible” effort to pass a temporary budget to avoid a shutdown of the federal government, Monsanto and the biotech industry are using it as another opportunity to corrupt our basic democrat rights and protect their bottom line.

Last spring Food Democracy Now! members exposed the initial Monsanto Protection Act to the world when more than 300,000 of us stood up and demanded an end to the special interests handouts to Monsanto and the biotech seed and chemical giants.

Right now, we are once again calling on you and your friends and family to stand with us again to help expose this corruption of our basic democratic process once again!

Monsanto’s days are numbered and they know it! This year, you helped passed GMO labeling bills in Connecticut and Maine and right now we’re working hard with our allies to help win a citizen led ballot initiative in Washington state that would mandate labeling of genetically engineered foods.

Unfortunately, Monsanto, DuPont and the largest junk food companies in the world are determined to try to steal our basic democratic rights to protect their corrupt corporate profits. Just this week Monsanto dumped $4.5 million to defeat our efforts to win Yes on 522 and GMO labeling in Washington state while DuPont dropped $3.4 million. 

Right now is the critical window where we need to stand together to stop Monsanto and these corrupt corporations from trying to betray our basic democratic rights once again.

Please stand with us to help stop Monsanto, DuPont and the biotech seed and chemical companies from corrupting our laws and democratic process.

Remember, democracy is like a muscle, either you use it or you lose it!

Journalists detained in America-First Amendment?

Susan Brannon
19 April 2012

As of 7th of April 2012, 76 journalist in 12 cities have been arrested since the beginning of Occupy Wall Street in America. Reporters Without Borders rates the freedom of the press for countries in the world and the United States fell down to number 47 dropping by 27 points in their last freedom index report. 

In the video below on March 20th - 2012, the Chicago police were responding to an event which a young girl was killed in a shooting.  NBC reporters went to Mt. Sinai Hospital to cover the story and either the security police or police asked them to move.  They moved to the middle of the road onto the median.  When asked about the first amendment, the police or guard did not care.  The situation was recorded on video. He said, "Your first amendment right can be terminated if you create a scene."  "We have not created a scene." "Your presence creates a scene" He went on the walke talkie, and asked if he can arrest them, then turned around and said to the reporters,  "Pull out your arms, we're putting the cuffs on."



Amy Goodman a leading investigate journalist for Democracy Now, was also arrested.  I do not know the details of this particular arrest, but Amy Goodman is well known in revealing "untruths" in regards to our governments and corporate functions.


It seems to me that once the occupy protests started, the police in different cities were "testing" the reactions of the people and the government in arresting reporting journalists.  I say this because after the arrests, there was minimal coverage and little reaction from the citizens or the local state and federal governments.   If the reactions are few and the courts approve the arrests, then the police will feel that it is possible to continue ignoring the first amendment rights and law of the constitution of the United States of America. By arresting the journalist, they can destroy any evidence that is involved in civil rights and human rights or justice obstructions for the American citizens.

Disqualifying the First amendment is no little matter, once this can be approved and occur in America then the American citizens will loose just about any "right" that they may have.  Journalists, are to provide information to the public about events that occur in their communities.  Without reporting, then the media becomes more and  more censored and the population will have less knowledge regarding the realities of the events in their communities.  Another problem occurs and that is; induced fear.  Arresting reporters for doing their jobs, re-defines "what events the reporters can cover". Some reporters may chose not to cover important events that are focused on civil rights or activist protests, because they will fear being arrested. Not one journalist that I know wants to be arrested, harassed, beaten, put in jail or added to a terrorists list.  They have mouths to feed and bills to pay and in reality, only want to do their work.  I have spoken with many independent journalists and main stream journalists who are concerned for their safety while attending events in America.  The safety depends on the "mood" of the police and his/her mindset.  Normally, there have not been any warnings of possible arrest, they have been grabbed and then handcuffed.  The event could be peaceful, tense, it does not seem to matter.

I have some video examples (below) of reporters arrested while filming public meetings.  The meeting was not a demonstration,  march or protest but a simple meeting and the reporter was arrested.  In reality, he was not arrested for any reason, he was making a documentary film...plain and simple.

If this continues, it is possible that the Americans will slowly loose all rights and the country can easily lean towards  Fascism.  Fascism promotes political violence and war and rejects liberal democracy.  To achieve its goals, the fascist state purges forces, ideas, people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration.  For example, those in the occupy protests and then those who report the news.

The First amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

In many cases, the reporters are "reporting" in Occupy, they were not the "protesters" but recording the demonstrations through video, writing, or photography and were doing their jobs, this is clearly both the "freedom of speech" and "freedom of the press" while the protesters have the "right to peaceably assemble" All three rights in this case has been ignored.

 The video below was taken on 18 November 2011, at about the same time of the increased arrests of the reporters.  This was truly a peaceful demonstration of UC Davis Students on their campus.  They were sitting and chanting while the police dressed in their garb, stood in the middle of the "sit-in".



 As the protests continued throughout the winter in America, more and more reporters were either harassed or arrested while filming.
A reporter was pepper sprayed and had her camera taken away 12 January 2012:



Occupy Arrests: 
New York- three freelance reporters were arrested, they lacked the "proper" credentials for the City of New York.
New York -  November 15, 2011 - AP writer Karen Matthews and AP photographer Seth Wenig were arrested while covering protests at a property in lower Manhattan. During the same demonstration, Freelance radio journalist Julie Walker was arrested.
Oakland, November 3, 2011- Freelance journalist was held for 15 hours and made fun of her press pass.
Nashville - October 29, 2011 - Reporter Jonathan Meadlor was arrested with a group of protesters.
Richmond - October 31, 2011 ; Ian Graham a photographer was arrested on charges of trespassing on a public street while photographing the occupy event.
Milwaukee- November 2, 2011- Photoreporter Kristyna Wentz-Graff was arrested while photographing the occupy protest while the police were arresting the protesters and was grabbed and arrested.  The list goes on....

Interesting enough, the crackdown on the First Amendment has been going on for quite some time.  In 2009, The United states detained a Reuters cameraman without charges while he was one of many journalists jailed by the United States in Iraq.  Since 2001, the United States has jailed 13 foreign reporters in Afghanistan and iraq for several weeks on foreign soil.  The soldiers take the computer drives, camera and lead them away blindfolded and in handcuffs, according the the LA Times.  Ibrahim Jassam, the Reuters cameramans case ws reviewed by the Iraqi court and found no evidence to detain him and ordered his release.  However, America responded that he is a "security threat" and will remain in detention.

G8 Genova- Testimony

Anonymous - quoted text
Victim Report- Anonymous

Quoted text: "A man reportedly being a doctor looked into my eyes and looked me over.
In seconds, he slapped me on the face and said something to his comrades in Italian. They took me roughly up the steps with my handcuffs into this building.   It was not a police station or jail.  I do not know what or where it was or why I was taken there. Once inside the door a particularly vicious man proceeded to  beat me to my knees with punches and kicks. I was then dragged to a hall with handcuffs where I received further beatings by an individuals normally dressed and in police uniforms. I was driven to the fetal position to the ground to protect my head and groin area and the individual continued to beat me. He would stomp on my entire body, he stomped down with great force and after a few minutes he stopped and left.

In the cell I was brought into, there were two or three individuals where receiving beatings by policemen.  Everywhere there was excessive shouting and screaming in Italian by the cabineeri and others and those being beaten.  They started shouting in Italian at me, and because I don't speak Italian I did not understand. I then realized that they wanted me to remove my clothes as other prisoners were doing they forced me to strip and made me stand spread eagle against the wall naked. I felt vulnerable and absolutely terrified. The shouting continued except for this time from behind, when I turned my head around they slapped me and indicated that I was to look at the wall by smashing my face against it. The shouting and screaming continued as did blows to my arms. ribs, back and legs and I never knew whether their shouts were directed at me. After a few minutes, I was directed to squat to the ground. They forced me to stand up, squat down, stand up squat down around eleven times.  Every-time I squatted down, I had the fear that they placed something under me or inserted into my rectum. Fortunately, nothing was and after a further two or three minutes of standing against the wall I was led to put my clothes back on and was made to put my face against the wall and stand spread eagle.

The next 10 or 11 hours I was made to stand spread eagle except when they took me to take fingerprints, mug shots and a high tech computer scan of my head. I was forced to sign unknown documents without any explanation.
I was taken out of the building and into an adjoining building which was like a warehouse with computers and high tech machinery and professional looking people including women working in the bar.  I thought maybe there was some journalists or lawyers or senior police officers who once again would ask me of my innocence, telling them how I was not a violent protester and I was a business professional and the police were beating me.
I was sat down at a table with women in white coats, she asked me if I speak Italian and I said no. I confirmed to her who I was and asked if I could contact my embassy or lawyer.  She said I couldn't and asked me sign  various documents in Italian. I asked her what did they say and she said that it was not important and it would be "easier" if I signed. 

Given my state of mind, I was still hyperventilating, I decided it would be safer to sign.  So I did sign this and many other documents.  On the computer I saw that there was a file with some sort of information on me such as what countries I had been in, on what holiday and what music, CD's and magazines that I had purchased by credit card over the internet.  I became completely overwhelmed thinking that they were going to set me up for some crime.  When they looked for further hand prints, I said that I would give them only if I spoke to a lawyer. The policemen who had hit me on the side of my leg, hit me on my head and I collapsed to the ground in great pain.  I begged again to see a lawyer the policemen along with two others began to drag me along the floor into another building. I shouted okay, okay, okay I would continue with the process.

This I did and upon completion, I was taken outside and made to wash my hands. Here a different man dressed in a Tie-dyed t-shirt with a beard slapped me across the face and handcuffed my hands just to show me who was boss. He then pulled me back towards the main body of the cell. Upon entering the building I saw the corridor lined with both uniformed and non uniformed people. He dragged me down the corridor and every, if not every, man either kicked me or slapped me. Given the fact that nearly all of them assaulted me I realized that the place was out of control. Shear panic started repeating over and over and over. I started shouting Peace Peace Peace in the hopes that they would realize that I was a normal person and that they would stop beating me.

I think it was around five or six pm and the heat was still intense, at no time were given water or food or allowed to go to the toilet. The state of affairs continued after 1am.  The beatings stopped in our cell but continued in others with shouting, and screaming, kicking and laughing.  If we let our arms to the side we were shouted at, we had to keep our legs and arms in the spread eagle position and individuals were beaten again. After many hours of this most of us began to spasm, seize, I was physically and mentally shattered. Many started to have hallucinations on the floor or on the wall. At one stage after I arrived home, I broke down and lost all faith in humanity. I was in a living hell in a place in society where those who were the protectors, took the pleasure in brutalizing and giving pain."

Remember G8 Genova

Susan Brannon
20 April 2012
On the night of July 21, 2001 more than 400 peaceful G8 demonstrators who came from all over Europe to protest the G8 meeting, were either hospitalized, beaten, arrested and jailed. Carlo Giuliani of Genoa, was shot dead by Mario Placanica who was released of any "wrong doing" in the case. It was determined that he fired his weapon in self defense after being hit by a stone. The European Union requested an investigation of the Italian police and what occurred on that day. Italy, with its new Prime Minister, Berlusconi, denied to investigate. At least seven of the injured have live long disabilities and say that the police had the intent to "kill". Mark Covell, an Indy-Media journalist was also brutally attacked, with six broken ribs, a punctured lung in three places, massive destruction on his spine and neck. He has had to undergo several surgeries and is still ongoing.

Mark decided to file a lawsuit against the Italian government and for him, it has been a long haul that costs him thousands of British pounds for representation and travel, and promotional awareness campaigns. The Italian legal system has much to be desired and it takes years to complete any legal action. As of May 18th, 2010, senior police officers and 44 policemen have been given jail sentences for up to five years for what the prosecution called a terrible attack on the demonstrators and an attempted cover-up.   

The Reports of Torture and the Case More than 150 masked police officers wearing unnumbered uniforms attacked a school "Scoula Diaz" being used as a "safe house" and a place to sleep for the foreigners who came for the demonstration shortly before midnight. One commander said that the school was "left like a Mexican slaughterhouse". Ninety-three people were sleeping in the dormitory and after the slaughter 76 were taken to the hospital for multiple injuries and later taken to the Bolzaneto jail where a total of 252 demonstrators were tortured. This continued for three days and nights along with systematic denial of human rights and degrading treatment. Some women reported being raped. The Ligurian Appeal Judges chaired by Maria Rosaria D'Angelo did not mince words about what had happened at the Bolzaneto police barracks during the sentencing.

One of the victims said, "Many of the victims who were detained and beaten in the barracks of Bolzaneto reported phrases and hymns sung by the Nazis and Fascists during and after the police torture that the detainees were subjected." A turning point for the case was when two police officers confessed, “When we dragged them from the cells inside the Bolzaneto police barracks, we beat them”. Many of the victims reported that they were forced to stand for more than twenty hours in feet legs apart facing wall. Most were preventing from going to the toilet. A few however had their heads shoved down a toilet full of police shit in a crude form of 'waterboarding' for the pleasure of the accompanying police. One of the police who admitted the crime was Barbara Amadei who beat and forced the head of Ester Percivati down the infamous Bolzaneto toilet. Amadei received a sentence of only 10 months.

A welcome sign greeted the prisoners, and when they entered they were forced to walk in single file, suffering brutal kicks, beating from the batons, punches, while their injuries were left untreated. Some reported that the police urinated on them. Others reported being thrown into a room, then they closed the door after throwing tear gas into the small room and left there. One infamous case is that of Massimo Pigozzi who sprayed teargas into the face of Joseph Azzolina and then broke every finger on both of his hands. Pigozzi got three years 11 months for this crime and ordered to pay compensation.

Senior GOM mobile commander Antonell Gaetano, beat a French demonstrator fracturing two of his ribs forcing him to sign a document to waver rights to a lawyer. He forced another victim to get down on all fours and bark like a dog and say, ""long live Il Duce" he received one year and four months. Not only were the policemen involved in the torture, the medical staff at the Bolzaneto prison were also involved. James Toccafondi was convicted of breaking the EU convention on medical ethics. He took part in several beatings, denied medical treatment and cut off the hair of females to be used as "trophies". He received three years and six months. Two other doctors were involved but were not sentenced.

The cover up was so criminal, that an officer stabbed himself with a knife to try to "validate" and justify the attack. The Italian courts ruled that none of the victims had been violent, and Molotov cocktails had been planted by the police in the school before the attack. Among those convicted was Francisco Gratteri, the head of criminal investigation, Giovanne Luperi who was promoted to a senior position in the Italian intelligence both men were given four years. The head of the squad unit who was commander of the riot unit in Rome ,Vincenzo Canterini, was given five years. The two policemen who planted the Molotov cocktails,Gilberto Caldarozzi and Spartico Mortola, were sentenced to three years and nine months.

The ruling overturned any of the previous conclusions in the 2008 trial. However, the policemen charged for their crimes did not go behind bars because the case took so long, that the sentencing was "timed out" according to the Italian statue of limitations. Despite most of the original charges being spent, two charges of false arrest and false statement have statute of limitations of 12 1/2 years so they still carry a prison sentence. Most of the 25 are convicted of these two offenses and have received sentences of three to four years.   

The Politicians The politicians involved were Ginfranco Fini and Castelli, while Berlusconi was only in office for one month as Prime Minister. There is little or no evidence that Berlusconi approved or authorized the events. There is evidence that links Fini and both Diaz and Bolzaneto. Fini was fortunate because he was saved from questioning because of the 9/11 raids on America. All eyes in the world were turned to the events in America. Fini has always had immunity from prosecution during the years of the investigation, indictments and trials in Genoa. Fini was involved in the day to day events of the protests, and the planning for the Diaz raid before G8.  At that time, Fini was the head of the Facist Party, "Alleanza Nazionale" (National Alliance) that later united with the Berlusconi called, "Popolo del Liberta" (People of Freedom)

Alleanza Nazionale started in 1994 as the successor of the "Movimento Sociale Italiano" (Italian Social Movement) begun by Benito Mussolini's supporters after he died in 1945 and his fascist movement was outlawed.  Fini once described Mussolini as the greatest statesman of the 20th century.   

Infiltrators 
There are many reports and video's that capture infiltrators that were dressed up in plain clothes who pretended to be part of the protest.  They were seen talking to the Italian police, and entering in and out of the "red zone"  (The boundary set by the city, the protesters were not allowed into the red zone, close to the G8 meeting)  They were also seen to intimidate the police by throwing stones, and thought to have possibly brought inside the "yellow zone" (the area where the protesters were supposed to be allowed to march) Molotov cocktails to throw at the police. There was also a group of people dressed in white clothes wearing blue helmets that would march among the protesters, grab and beat them before arrest. There is another group called the "Black Block" that is reported to be a group of protesters that destroyed many of the buildings, infrastructure and cars.   However, it is also reported that some of the Black Block people have been seen talking to the police, entering in and out of the red zone, and issuing instructions to their peers.  (more on the Black Block)

CISPA Supporters List

19 April 2012
I am scared and this is the moment of truth, the American future and the death of the Forth Amendment and here is why.

The political firepower that the proposed CISPA bill has in congress is strong and has a ton of money backing it up.  I have provided by courtesy of digital trends, http://www.digitaltrends.com/web/cispa-supporters-list-800-companies-that-could-help-uncle-sam-snag-your-data/ a list of CISPA supporters.  From this list, you will see the power that is behind the bill and how difficult it will be for the American people to help to stop it from passing.  These companies have voiced their direct support for CISPA or indirect support through the direct support of a trade group.

Those on the CISPA camp say, "Don't worry. Trust us."  But we don't and shouldn't.  Simple trust should not be a factor, while this is an example of the government and corporations abusing power to derail individuals.  How can we put our civil liberties in the hands of those who could justify anything that they please?
