ShareMourners pay respects to man who died in NYPD custody 23 Jul 2014 Friends and supporters gathered Wednesday night at a church in Brooklyn, N.Y., to mourn for a man who died last Thursday after being placed in a banned chokehold by police. Cell phone video of Eric Garner's altercation with police in Staten Island has gone viral over the last few days, and includes a scene in which Garner says "I can't breathe" at least eight times as police press his head into the sidewalk. Police said they suspected Garner, a 350-pound asthmatic, of selling untaxed cigarettes.
ShareProsecutors Are Reading Emails From Inmates to Lawyers 22 Jul 2014 Jailhouse conversations have been many a defendant's downfall through incriminating words spoken to inmates or visitors, or in phone calls to friends or relatives. Inmates' calls to or from lawyers, however, are generally exempt from such monitoring. But across the country, federal prosecutors have begun reading prisoners’ emails to lawyers -- a practice wholly embraced in Brooklyn, New York, where prosecutors have said they intend to read such emails in almost every case. The issue has spurred court battles over whether inmates have a right to confidential email communications with their lawyers -- a question on which federal judges have been divided.
ShareInternational Pressure Could Get Arturo Out of Argentina 17 Jul 2014 The plight of Arturo, an elderly polar bear in Argentina, has gained international attention.

ShareArizona execution lasts nearly two hours, witness says Joseph Wood was 'gasping and struggling to breathe' 21 Jul 2014 Arizona executed Joseph R. Wood on Wednesday afternoon, but the execution lasted for nearly two hours as Wood struggled to breathe, according to his attorneys. "I've witnessed a number of executions before and I've never seen anything like this," Dale Baich, one of Wood's attorneys, told The Washington Post in a phone call.

ShareThe Secret Government Rulebook For Labeling You a Terrorist --'Not even death provides a guarantee of getting off the list.' 23 July 2014 The Obama administration has quietly approved a substantial expansion of the terrorist watchlist system, authorizing a secret process that requires neither "concrete facts" nor "irrefutable evidence" to designate an American or foreigner as a terrorist, according to a key government document obtained by The Intercept. The "March 2013 Watchlisting Guidance," a 166-page document issued last year by the National Counterterrorism Center, spells out the government's secret rules for putting individuals on its main terrorist database, as well as the no fly list and the selectee list, which triggers enhanced screening at airports and border crossings. The new guidelines allow individuals to be designated as representatives of terror organizations without any evidence they are actually connected to such organizations, and it gives a single White House official the unilateral authority to place "entire categories" of people the government is tracking onto the no fly and selectee lists. It broadens the authority of government officials to "nominate" people to the watchlists based on what is vaguely described as "fragmentary information."
ShareInsane in the membrane: U.S. Senate sets $225 million for Israel's Iron Dome in emergency bill 22 Jul 2014 U.S. Senate DemocRATs included $225 million for Israel's Iron Dome rocket interception system in an emergency funding bill on Tuesday that also cut $1 billion from President Barack Obama's request for $3.7 billion to deal with thousands of undocumented child immigrants [so corpora-terrorists can eventually get more cheap labor]. More than 600 people - most of them Palestinians - have been killed in the current conflict between Israel and militants in Gaza...U.S. lawmakers tend to be heavily pro-Israel. [Too bad Detroit isn't Tel Aviv. Start reading.]

ShareNYPD's Miller: No Likely Terror Connection in Brooklyn Bridge White Flag Placement 22 Jul 2014 American flags were once again flying on top of the Brooklyn Bridge Tuesday afternoon, after someone replaced the flags sometime overnight with what appeared to be whitewashed or faded versions of Old Glory.

ShareJournalists, Anti-Vaccine Campaigners Could Be Considered Terrorists Under UK Law 22 Jul 2014 The UK's terrorism laws are so broad they could be applied to journalists and their supporters, as well as crimes that have nothing to do with terrorism, according to a new report from the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation.

ShareUS: No link to Russian gov't in plane downing 22 Jul 2014 Senior U.S. intelligence officials said Tuesday that Russia was responsible for "creating the conditions" [?] that led to the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, but they offered no evidence of direct Russian government involvement. The intelligence officials were cautious in their assessment, noting that while the Russians have been arming separatists in eastern Ukraine [and US taxpayers fund - over $1 billion, thus far - the illegitimate Nazi regime in Ukraine], the U.S. had no direct evidence that the missile used to shoot down the passenger jet came from Russia. The officials briefed reporters Tuesday under ground rules that their names not be used in discussing intelligence related to last week's air disaster, which killed 298 people.

They have campaigned to move the bear to a zoo in Winnipeg, which has welcomed the idea. [Insurgents need to go in and free that bear from his torture chamber.]

ShareMDR replies to apparent Zionist sympathizer --Michael Rectenwald, CLG News, responds to critic who believes CLG treats 'Am Yisrael' unfairly By Lori Price, www.legitgov.org 22 Jul 2014 On Tuesday, CLG received an email from a subscriber. He wrote, "Lose my e-mail. Your reports are excessively tendentious against Am Yisrael." Dr. Michael Rectenwald provided the following response.
Dear S, Our posts have included no complaints about or criticisms of the Israeli people, per se. Our qualms are with the Israeli *government.* Similarly, we regularly criticize the U.S. government for its military expeditions and adventurism. By these criticisms, we imply nothing with respect to U.S. citizens, as such. We know that the majority, the working class, has no role in deciding international or other policies.
ShareAppeals court throws out key IRS rule on Obamacare subsidies 22 Jul 2014 A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday threw out a federal regulation that implements key subsidies that are vital to President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit accepted one of the main legal challenges to the policy by conservatives opposed to an expansion of the federal government. A three-judge panel returned the case to a lower court with instructions to rule in favor of appellants who had sued to overturn the rule. The ruling has the potential to cripple the implementation of the law by making health insurance unaffordable for many people.
ShareD.C. court ruling deals new blow to Affordable Care Act 22 Jul 2014 President Obama's healthcare law was dealt a new blow Tuesday as a federal appeals court ruled that due to a wording glitch in the Affordable Care Act, some low- and middle-income residents are not entitled to receive government assistance to subsidize their insurance. In a 2-1 vote, a panel of judges on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejected the Obama administration's argument that the problem was triggered by imprecise language in the complex law and that Congress had always intended to offer the subsidies nationwide to low- and middle-income people who bought insurance through one of the state or federal health exchanges created under the law.
