Amerikan Stasi Police State ***Staring Us In The Face
Paul Craig Roberts - Article posted Feb 19 2014
 
  American  taxpayers have built an entire city in Virginia so that the Pentagon,  can practice occupying American cities and putting down protests by US  citizens.
 
 This fake city is the training ground for the doctrine outlined in a leaked US Army document   that describes how soldiers are to be trained to put down domestic  disturbances and process prisoners through detainment camps where  prisoners will be re-educated to appreciate US policies. In situations  of "extreme necessity" the training embraces deadly force:  "Warning  shot will not be fired.
 
 When a firearm is discharged it will be fired  with the intent  of rendering the person(s) at whom it is discharged  incapable of continuing that activity or course of behavior." Lecturers  in the training courses describe constitutionalists as "domestic  extremists."
 
 Does this make the President of the United States, whose oath of office  is to defend the US Constitution against enemies domestic and foreign, a  domestic extremist?  Is the fear of arrest by Homeland Security as a  domestic extremist the reason Obama refuses to defend the Constitution  of the United States?
 
 The Army is being trained for domestic police duties that are in  violation of the Posse Comitatus Act that prevents the use of the  military for domestic law enforcement, another indication that  Washington has no respect for the country's laws and that Obama and his  "Justice" Department have no intention of enforcing the laws of the land  or abiding by the Constitution.
 
 
 
 
 - Where is the media outcry?  Where are the law schools?  Where is  Congress?  
 
A government that disregards the laws of the land is both  treasonous and tyrannical.   
 
- Yet, not a peep from "the free and the  brave."   The US government and its puppet auxiliary, the UK government, have  turned with vengeance against whistleblowers and their attorneys.  Bradley Manning is in prison, Julian Assange is confined to the  Ecuadoran Embassy in London, and Edward Snowden is under Russian  protection from a tyrannical US government. Jessellyn Radack, an  attorney who represented Snowden was recently detained and questioned in an intimidating way at London's Heathrow Airport. Washington has taught its British puppet state how to mimic Washington's Gestapo ways.
 
 The latest revelations of the criminal activities of the Amerikan National Stasi Agency
 
 comes from a leaked NSA document that shows that the Stasi agency  considers WikiLeaks Julian Assange to be a "malicious foreign actor" and  launched "an international effort to focus the legal element of  national power upon non-state actor Assange, and the human network that  supports WikiLeaks."  Clearly, the Gestapo is upon us.
 
 RT reports:   "The NSA was not alone in its sweeping espionage on the  whistle-blowing organization. It also enlisted its partners in the Five  Eyes spying network (UK, New Zealand, Australia and Canada) as well as  other nations. In documents dating back from August 2010, the US urged  10 other countries with forces in Afghanistan to consider pressing  criminal charges against Julian Assange — 'founder of the rogue  WikiLeaks internet website and responsible for the unauthorized  publication of over 70,000 classified documents covering the war in  Afghanistan.'"
 
 In other words, freedom of the press?  We don't need no stinking freedom  of the press. We have the presstitute press–the TV networks, the New  York Times, Washington Post, National Public Radio, and all the rest of  the officially sanctioned state Ministry of Propaganda.
 
 Julian Assange stated, correctly, "The NSA and its UK accomplices show no respect for the rule of law."
 
 WikiLeaks' attorney, Judge Baltasar Garzon, the pursuer of Pinochet, had this to say:
 
 "The paradox is that Julian Assange and the WikiLeaks organization are  being treated as a threat instead of what they are: a journalist and a  media organization that are exercising their fundamental right to  receive and impart information in its original form, free from omission  and censorship, free from partisan interests, free from economic or  political pressure."
 
 What has happened that explains the transformation of the UK and all of  its former English colonies–the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand–into  Gestapo Stasi states? These are the countries best known historically  for their domestic civil liberties and rule of law, irrespective of  their treatment of their indigenous populations and in the case of  England her non-white colonies.
 
 The original dispossession was of  indigenous peoples. Now these governments have turned on their own.Today  the governments of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand  (the  Five Eyes) see civil liberty and the accountability of government to  law as threats to themselves, and the governments are determined to  stamp out the threats. The historical lands of liberty have abandoned  liberty and become Stasi states.
 
 What has occurred in the US and UK is that the criminal and treasonous  acts of both governments have become so extreme that the governments  must destroy civil liberty in order to protect themselves from exposure.  Whenever you hear "national security" invoked, you know that government  is covering up its crimes and its lies.
 
 The criminal character of both US and UK governments is now recognized  by the rest of the world, even by the bought-and-paid-for NATO puppet  states, France and Germany.  German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French  President Francois Hollande are discussing the creation of an European  communication  network in order to protect Europeans' communications  from the NSA and from Google, Facebook, and other US communication  companies that shamelessly cooperate with NSA's spy network as junior  members of the Stasi.  Brazil and South America are facing the same  challenge of protecting their communications from Washington's National  Stasi Agency.
 
 NSA spies on foreign companies for the benefit of American ones, and it  spies on US law firms representing clients against the US government.  The New York Times recently reported  that the corrupt Australian puppet state has been working with NSA to  steal the private communications of US lawyers with their clients in the  Indonesian government involved in a trade dispute with Washington."  In  other words, NSA spying helps the US government to prevail in economic  lawsuits against it, but the spying is justified in the name of the  nonexistent "terrorist threat."  The terrorist is NSA.
 
 And you thought Washington was only spying on "terrorists" to prevent them from "killing us over here."
 
 
 
 
 - It is impossible to paint a picture of a more lawless government than Washington has painted of itself. It took a pop singer, Lorde, to declare  in her Grammy Award acceptance speech last month that the emperor has  no clothes: "Planet Earth is run by psychopaths that hide behind slick  marketing, 'freedom' propaganda and 'economic growth' rhetoric, while  they construct a global system of corporatized totalitarianism. As  American journalist Chris Hedges has identified, a corporate  totalitarian core thrives inside a fictitious democratic shell.
 
 This  core yields an 'inverted' totalitarian state that few recognize because  it does not look like the Orwellian world of Nineteen Eighty-four.This  corporate totalitarian core is spreading outward from America. Planet  Earth is being rapidly militarized by the world's major and significant  states, including their police forces. Meanwhile, state surveillance is  becoming universal and torture is outsourced to gulags."
 
 The TV  channels censored her speech and cut it off by substituting pre-recorded content.
 
 By cutting off Lorde's speech, the media moguls proved the truth of her words. Americans must not hear. The dolts might wake up.
 
 Americans should take note that the media is on guard, prepared at an  instance's notice to suppress free speech.  Washington is ever so  pleased to support protesters in Ukraine, who are witlessly helping  Washington to subvert their country, but no protests at home thank you.
 
 With the Pentagon building fake cities for soldiers to demolish while  practicing the unconstitutional occupation practices that are in store  for us in the homeland, Alex Jones' predictions move out of the realm of  conspiracy theory.
 
 Washington has finally noticed that the result of  moving middle class jobs offshore is an American population without a  future. As Gerald Celente says, when people have nothing left to lose,  they lose it.  The US military is gearing up for when Americans can't  take it any more.
 
 
 
 
 - Meanwhile Washington continues the pretense of America as the land of  "freedom and democracy" and "concern for human rights," blah-blah-blah.   People all over the world, with the exception of the paid protesters in  western Ukraine, are no longer listening to the bullshit flowing from  Washington and its presstitute media. /

--Chicago PD Believes It Can See The Future, Starts Warning Citizens About Crimes They Might Commit--
SvaraRaderaby Karl Bode 2014-02-27
We've talked a lot over the years about the attempts to get out "ahead of crime" by using computer programs and algorithms to try and predict who might commit a crime. Predictive computing can then either target specific areas or specific people that might be in need of some extra law enforcement attention. Except as we've noted repeatedly, these programs are only as valuable as the data they use. Garbage in, garbage out, but in this case you've got a human being on the other end of the equation whose life can be dramatically impacted by law enforcement holding what they believe is "proof" that you'll soon be up to no good.
With that in mind there's growing concerns about efforts in Chicago to use predictive analytical systems to generate a "heat list" -- or a list of 400 or so individuals most likely to be involved in violent crime. The Chicago efforts are based on a Yale sociologist's studies and use an algorithm created by an engineer at the Illinois Institute of Technology. People who find themselves on the list get personal visits from law enforcement warning them that they better be nice. The result is a collision between law enforcement that believes in the righteousness of these efforts and those who worry that they could, as an EFF rep states, create "an environment where police can show up at anyone's door at any time for any reason."
Law enforcement and the code creators, as you'd expect, argue that it's only the bad guys that need to worry about a system like this:
"A press liaison for the NIJ explains in an email: "These are persons who the model has determined are those most likely to be involved in a shooting or homicide, with probabilities that are hundreds of times that of an ordinary citizen." Commander Steven Caluris, who also works on the CPD's predictive policing program, put it a different way. "If you end up on that list, there's a reason you're there."

-Supreme Court Gives Police More Leeway to Search Homes without a Warrant-
SvaraRaderaAll Gov - Thursday, February 27, 2014
The U.S. Supreme Court has decided that law enforcement can search a person’s home even if they: (1) don’t have warrant, (2) if an occupant objects, and (3) the situation does not warrant an emergency.
That’s the new legal standard established by the nation’s highest court in a case involving the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
In 2009, officers showed up at the residence of Walter Fernandez, who was suspected of committing a robbery.
The police did not have a court order to search Fernandez’s home. The suspect refused to grant officers permission to search the premises before they arrested him on the robbery charge.
With Fernandez in custody, officers returned to his apartment a short while later and asked another occupant, Roxanne Rojas, who was living with the suspect, if they could enter and search the home.
Rojas’ consent was sufficient enough for the LAPD to legally conduct its search, which turned up a shotgun and evidence of Fernandez involvement with gangs, according to the Supreme Court in a 6-3 ruling (pdf).
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote for the majority that home searches are legal and do not violate the Fourth Amendment’s right against unreasonable searches as long as one occupant agrees, even if another does not.
“A warrantless consent search is reasonable and thus consistent with the 4th Amendment irrespective of the availability of a warrant,” Alito wrote. “Even with modern technological advances, the warrant procedure imposes burdens on the officers who wish to search [and] the magistrate who must review the warrant application.”
Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan disagreed with the court, saying the ruling weakens the requirement to obtain search warrants.
“Instead of adhering to the warrant requirement, today’s decision tells the police they may dodge it,” Ginsburg said.
“If a person’s health and safety are threatened by a domestic abuser, exigent circumstances would justify immediate removal of the abuser from the premises, as happened here,” she added.
But, “the specter of domestic abuse hardly necessitates the diminution of the Fourth Amendment rights at stake here,” Ginsburg wrote.
