Florida Police Now Ready For Minefields

by Tim Lynch

From the New York Daily News:

?If you see my SWAT team roll up in this thing ? it?s over, so just give up,? said Chief R. Sean Baldwin in a release?.
The police department was able to purchase the armored vehicle through the 1997 National Defense Authorization Act, which passes excess military supplies to U.S. law enforcement.
More than $4.2 billion worth of property has been transferred to law enforcement since the program?s inception.

One wonders if these guys shout ?Yippee Ki-Ya!? as they drive down neighborhood streets.

So mother fuckers in your mind you honestly think we will just roll over? whot the fuck do you think you clowns are, super human type heros beleive me when I say you do not want to die in that vehicle when that pos catches fire, You will cook beyond anything recognizable as a human so, really do you think its over when you roll up on that wheeled death trap? With fewer and fewer countries left to invade and bomb, the US war industry is now focusing on building a domestic military capable of waging full-scale war on regional and demographic American targets. Rather than starve to death, millions of the unemployed will have little choice but to join and start killing their fellow countrymen.

Hey, nothing personal - it's just business - and it's for your protection.

the very small micro chip from Motorola that is being test marketed in China at this time that will be used on americans in the US and all other nations at an undisclosed future date. It is a rice sized chip that will be injected into the right hand on the backside, this chip will store everything about you, where you work, how much money you have, your home address etc and will have your bank account info etc. You will scan your hand at the grocery store, Airports etc. The chip will track your every movement via satellite anywhere in the world. We are seeing the beginning of this in the new credit cards with a small chip enclosed in the plastic that does not need to be swiped through a card reader, it only needs to be flashed by a computer reader. These chips are storing far more data than the user is aware of, like banking and employment info that is sensitive to the user.

FYI: IF YOU HAD ONE OF THESE CHIPS AND TRY TO REMOVE IT CHIP, IT WILL INJECT A POISON INTO YOUR SYSTEM AND KILL YOU.

NOW IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WANT IN YOUR RIGHT HAND. I KNOW I DON'T.
This chip could get hit by something or just malfunction as all computers do and decide to inject the poison at any time, or the controllers of this chip could decide they want to have some fun and just kill of some people one day.

I ASK YOU TO DECIDE WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU.

YOU COULD ALLOW THINGS LIKE THE ABOVE....... OR YOU COULD TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND TAKE YOUR POWER BACK AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE BY THE ALL THAT IS THAT CREATED YOU.

Saxo Bank CEO Warns of Collapse Into "Totalitarian" Society

Paul Joseph Watson

Saxo Bank CEO Lars Seier Christensen warns that excessive government regulation, overtaxation and a coming economic collapse are all setting the stage for a slide into an overtly ?totalitarian? society.

In a blog post entitled,?What is the broader relevance of Ayn Rand for society?, Christensen adeptly describes how the predictions of the author, most famous for her 1957 dystopian classic?Atlas Shrugged, are now coming to pass.

The Saxo Bank CEO argues that free market capitalism and freedom in general is under constant attack by elites whose constant intrusions into the economy and people?s personal lives are predicated around the need to justify more centralization of power.

?First, the politicians assign ever greater powers to themselves, as they manage to convince the citizens of the need for even more interference, although the problems are created by interference in the first place,? writes Christensen, citing the European Union as an example of how, ?one mistake invariably leads to call for even more powers, leading to new mistakes.?

The deliberate effort on the part of the political class to undermine and restrict freedom and free market capitalism prevents the system from working efficiently, ?meaning that the underlying strength of human ingenuity and creativity is stopped from working and becomes increasingly powerless to pull us out of the morass we are in,? writes Christensen, adding that corporate fascism, or ?business people using government favours in return for giving up their independence,? is another of Ayn Rand?s warnings that has come to pass.

?In fact, the undemocratic, power-grabbing, emotional, populistic Washington that takes over in Atlas Shrugged is today most closely resembled by the EU and the Eurozone in the real world,? asserts Christensen, adding, ?We may have to go through a much more severe economic collapse before change will be forced upon us. Unfortunately, that change may also be?totalitarian in nature, of course. In fact, that is the more likely outcome in the short run.?

A central theme of Christensen?s editorial is his assertion that politicians can only survive in an irrational society and therefore constantly need to create problems and then appeal to emotion and pose as the saviors in a bid to remain relevant and seize power.

?[The current irrational world] creates a major opportunity for politicians that intuitively know that in a rational world, there would be little demand for their services,? writes Christensen. ?Only in an irrational, emotional universe, where opportunists can gain access to media and visibility to express "feelings" and try to take the moral high ground, no matter how unfounded in reality it is -- only in such an environment can you survive without having to produce practical, productive results, and instead prosper and benefit from empty talk and third-rate acting performances.?

Christensen also highlights the fact that the increasing prevalence of onerous taxation policies, such as in France, are destroying businesses and jobs while forcing entrepreneurs to take flight ? even to places like Russia ? in a bid to find their own ?Galts Gulch? where the free market is allowed to flourish and is not strangled by regulation and taxation.

?If we don't succeed in changing the values and direction of at least the next generation, I fear the full prediction of Atlas Shrugged will become reality and while that may hold some promise for the distant future, it is not something that I think people of my age feel like going through if we can avoid it,? concludes Christensen.

Christensen?s?blog post?provides several real world examples that back up his argument and is a must read in order to understand how the political class seem to be using Atlas Shrugged as an instruction manual for a totalitarian takeover of society.

Cop Filmed Playing Poker On In-Car Computer Driving During Rush Hour On Unplowed Road

Chris | InformationLiberation

The new year brought some 40,000 news laws into effect throughout the United States. In Chicago, one of those laws was a ban on using a cell phone while driving. The studies which showed such bans may lead to more accidents because people hide their phones below eye level rather than stop using them were ignored in place of political hysteria and the demand to "do something."

Incidentally, the people tasked with enforcing such a cell phone ban have dashmounted computers with huge LCD monitors in their patrol cars. As you can see in this video just posted to YouTube, some use these in-car computers to play online poker while driving in rush hour traffic on unplowed roads during the "polar vortex."

Cops engaged in such "typing while driving" incidents regularly crash into people while casually using their in-car computer. Here's a local news report out of Arlington, Texas showing it's an epidemic. Nonetheless, cops are explicitly exempt from all these distracted driving laws.

"40,000 new laws...."

here we go again..... "if a tree falls in the forest, and, nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?"

telling people that the government has written-up 40,000 new "RULES" ("laws" are inherent), I would liken to the age-old question I've quoted above. Perhaps, the government should be asking: "if there's nobody left who believes in 'government,' does it exist?"

wow, from 10 commandants, to a simple (CON)stitution, to 40,000 fake-believe laws in 2014..... i'll call "b/s" if no one else has the b@ll$ to.

Texas Game Wardens Prepare for War

William Norman Grigg

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has a newly minted SWAT team. To be sure, the agency maintains that this "cadre of specialty teams" will focus on search-and-rescue missions. However, the way Game Warden Cullen Stakes is dressed in the photo above makes it pretty clear that he's not getting ready to rescue people who have been stranded by floods, or have gotten lost in the woods.

Among the TPWD's specialized units is the "Scout Team," a group of 25 wardens who "have received a variety of training and can be used in border operations, dignitary protection, or any form of high-risk law enforcement, such as serving felony arrests or hostage situations," explains Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine.

"We can have a team anywhere in Texas in four hours, and that's the worst-case scenario," boasts Law Enforcement Special Operations Chief Grahme Jones. "A lot of times it's much faster."

For public consumption, the TPWD's einsatzgruppen are portrayed as kindly people who will pluck terrified children from rooftops during floods, or come to the aid of people whose boats have broken down. However, the agency's 532 wardens are "fully commissioned peace [sic] officers" who "have long assisted local authorities and state agencies," observes Texas Parks & Wildlife. In other words: They?re cops, which means they are agents of officially sanctioned violence.

Jones points out that in addition to looking for "game and fish law violations," wardens also "assist with community policing." The last is an anodyne phrase that should be terrifying to reasonably well-informed people.

The government that afflicts Texas is run by extravagantly punitive people with a penchant for criminalizing practically everything. Several years ago, this anti-social compulsion led the Texas Legislature to enact a measure that would literally make a felony out of telling a fish story: A participant in a fishing tournament who exaggerates the size of his catch could be sent to prison for ten years, and be fined up to $10,000.

Obviously, tournament organizers who offer cash prizes have a powerful incentive to prevent fraud of this kind, and thus can be trusted to enforce their own rules and disqualify cheaters. But this isn't satisfactory to the state's "Better living through official coercion" constituency, who eagerly seize on any excuse to expand the roster of offenses that could give rise to an exercise in police overkill.

Significantly, the sponsor of the "make a fibbing fisherman a felon" law, Texas state representative Dan Flynn (a Republican, natch) admitted that "everybody always exaggerates ... the size of their fish." This means that every time somebody drops a hook and then reels in a fish, he's a potential suspect -- and thus a worthy target for a pack of armored, heavily armed wardens eager to show off their newly acquired tactical skills.

I will not be surprised when someday soon states begin issuing hunting licenses and tag limits for sport killing of US patriots and Constitutionalists. what about lic. in the opposite direction?

This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories

by Phillip Smith

Bad cops get sued in Chicago, drugs are missing in Baltimore, an Ohio cop rips off the DARE program, and a Louisiana jailer gets caught smuggling pot and tobacco. Let's get to it:

In Chicago, a Chicago-area couple sued a local drug task force on December 28, charging that members of the Lake County Metropolitan Enforcement Group (MEG) illegally detained them without cause and ransacked their vehicle and home for drugs, but, not finding any drugs, instead stole thousands of dollars worth of items, including money orders, which have been cashed by the MEG. MEG has denied stealing the other items, including a flat screen TV.

In Baltimore, drug evidence went missing from the Baltimore Police evidence room last Thursday. The evidence room is on the upper floor of police headquarters in downtown Baltimore. Police would not say what or how much was taken. The department is investigating.

In Amite City, Louisiana, a Tangipahoa Parish jail deputy was arrested Monday on charges he was conspiring to bring drugs into the jail and sell them to inmates. Patrick Collins, 58, went down after the sheriff's office received information that he planned to smuggle drugs in on that day, and he was caught with four separate packages containing marijuana and tobacco. He is charged with one count of malfeasance in office, two counts of introduction of contraband into a penal institution and possession with intent to distribute schedule 1 narcotics. At last report, Collins was still in jail in a neighboring parish.

In Troy, Ohio, a former Troy police officer pleaded guilty December 24 to ripping off the DARE program. Kirt Wright, 41, copped to running up $15,000 in unauthorized charges for his own use on the DARE program credit card. He pleaded guilty to one count of felony theft in office. He's looking at up to three years in prison at sentencing.

Internal Affairs Divisions Dismissing 99% Of Misconduct Cases Against New Jersey Police Officers

by Tim Cushing

Not all cops are bad, but the insulation from accountability begins with the departments themselves, which often go out of their way to defend the actions of abusive officers. In some cases, pressure from police unions has kept unruly officers on the job despite the departments' efforts to remove them. Other times, the insulating force is also the first line of officer accountability: Internal Affairs. Often depicted as a hated entity within the force, the Internal Affairs division is supposed to be the public's first line of defense against cops who abuse their power. As documents obtained by the Courier News and Home News Tribune show, dozens of complaints against central New Jersey police officers are dismissed every year without ever making it past these departments' internal review mechanisms.

From 2008 to 2012, citizens filed hundreds of complaints alleging brutality, bias and civil rights violations by officers in more than seven dozen police departments in Central Jersey?
Just 1 percent of all excessive force complaints were sustained by internal affairs units in Central Jersey, the review found. That?s less than the national average of 8 percent, according to a federal Bureau of Justice Statistics report released in 2007.
Elizabeth, for example, processed 203 such complaints in the five-year period and not once sided with a complainant. Woodbridge had 84 complaints, New Brunswick had 81, Perth Amboy had 50 and Linden had 33. In all those cases, these agencies either ?exonerated? the officers, dismissed the complaints as frivolous, determined that they did not have sufficient evidence or simply never closed the investigations.

Nationwide numbers aren't all that encouraging, with only 8% of complaints being sustained, but the New Jersey police departments are pitching near shutouts. These numbers can be taken to mean that either these departments only staff exemplary officers -- or that many cases boil down to not much more than the complainant's word against the officer's, something that rarely goes the complainant's way.

On a positive note, the journalists were able to compile the numbers thanks to New Jersey's Open Public Records Act which requires police departments to tally and track complaints, including how each case is disposed. On the downside, almost all information related to the officers involved is redacted.

Except in race cases, complaints against officers and how officers were disciplined ? which can range from spoken or written reprimands to suspensions or termination ? are kept confidential.
The tallies of complaints and how they were disposed are public records, as are use of force reports, which officers are required to file whenever they use bodily force or weapons to subdue a suspect. The public also has the right to read synopses of all complaints where a fine or suspension of at least 10 days was assessed. But the identities of officers, as well as the complainants, have to be redacted from these documents.

As Sergio Bachao of My Central Jersey points out, this provides public officers with more protection than it does private citizens. Complaints and disciplinary rulings against licensed professionals in the private sector are posted by the state using these citizens' full names. Obviously, doing so makes these professionals more accountable and provides other members of the public with info they can use to avoid potential scams, etc.

The redactions work the opposite way in these public records, protecting those who have been accused of wrongdoing. It's often not until a case has finally made its way to the courtroom that these officers' "rap sheets" are exposed. And in most cases, officers accused of deploying excessive force or abusing their power will be serial violators -- something that would have been noticed earlier if not for these redactions.

In the wake of the Deloatch investigation, then-Sgt. Richard Rowe was charged with mishandling 81 internal affairs in New Brunswick from 2003 to 2007. He was sentenced in August to two years of probation. The Home News Tribune also reported that Berdel had been investigated at least seven times by internal affairs, including once for an excessive force complaint. The complaints either were not sustained or never resolved.

One NJ assemblyman thinks he has a solution.

Assemblyman Peter Barnes III, D-Middlesex, said that all internal affairs investigations should be handled by county prosecutors or the state Attorney General?s Office.
?It?s long since past the day where you can say with a straight face that it?s OK to have officers investigate their own. It just isn?t a good system,? Barnes said.

Barnes has a bit too much confidence that prosecutors and state AGs will be a more "neutral" force than Internal Affairs. These entities operate in concert with police officers to prosecute accused wrongdoers. The close relationships with police departments are often hard to disentangle when an officer is facing potential criminal charges. It's not unheard of for misconduct cases to finally reach the AG level only to find the AG unwilling to pursue charges.

AGs and prosecutors often believe they're in the business of "fighting crime" (some even run for election using a "tough on crime" platform) when in reality they're only part of a system aimed at providing justice. Because of this misconception, prosecutors and AGs consider police officers to be allies in the war on crime and tend to be rather lenient when charged with prosecuting officer misconduct.

There's probably no perfect solution for this problem but some extra steps could mitigate a lot of these concerns. To be sure, there are a large number of complaints that fall into the "frivolous" category, meaning the percentage of misconduct cases that result in any sort of disciplinary action will still remain rather low. But requiring some sort of independent oversight would be a start. As it stands now, an internal division reviews these cases and, should it believe criminal charges might be in order, it forwards them to state AGs and prosecutors -- who are often as reluctant to pursue charges as the department itself.

Another suggestion would be the use of body cameras by police officers. Although officers and police departments still retain some control over the footage collected, early use has indicated that they tend to reduce complaints of misconduct or excessive force. Citizens are less likely to file frivolous complaints knowing there's footage of the incident, and officers are less likely to deploy excessive force for the same reason.

At this point though, with only 1% of complaints being sustained, citizens have very little reason to believe the system will hold bad cops accountable. Likewise, bad cops can look to the 99% "clearance rate" as an indicator that their bad behavior will go unpunished, if not unnoticed.

Nothing is going to get better when it comes to this criminal entity known as the police force. These sociopaths must froth at the mouth knowing that nearly 100% of complaints filed against them get thrown out. Prosecutors and Judges are part of the sociopathic club.

Scorsese's Pump and Dump

by Doug French

Former prosecutor Joel Cohen tells the Wall Street Journal the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" should not have been made. Mr. Cohen believes the mere fact Hollywood megastar Leonardo DiCaprio portrayed the penny stock hustler glamorizes a criminal who, while very charming, woke up everyday wondering how he could break the law.

One would think any movie that annoys the ex-government prosecutor who took down Jordan Belfort and his firm Stratton Oakmont that much must be worth seeing. Unfortunately, securities fraud is hard to depict on the screen in a way that holds the moviegoer's attention, especially for nearly three hours.

"Pump-and-dump" is not as visual as, say, a gunfight. It is far easier to show characters enjoying the fruits of what the government considers fraud. So while there is the occasional reference to selling stocks of worthless companies and a cold call or two depicted along the way, most of what Martin Scorsese shows is the old Wall Street party stand by?cocaine being snorted from various body parts of naked females.

One wonders if any real crime was actually committed. Is it the role of government to prosecute individuals for calling people on the phone, stretching the truth, and selling dubious investments? There are multiple government agencies involved in regulating this sort of activity and investors sadly think the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the FBI force salespeople to tell the truth. ?Good luck with that.

As far as money laundering and shipping money offshore to avoid prosecution go, who is the victim? ?Scorsese's message seems to be it?s against the law to make lots of money and blow it on hookers and drugs.

Belfort gets started at a large Wall Street firm selling blue chip shares. He's mentored by Mark Hanna (Mathew McConaughey) who assures the young trainee the objective of selling stocks is to transfer clients' money to the brokers' pockets. Making clients money is not the idea. Any profits are on paper only and the broker must be sure to roll those profits, to the extent there are any, into other "ideas" before the client can turn them into actual dollars. The only people making cold hard cash for spending are the brokers.

The firm goes under and Belfort seeks other employment. He's about to take a retail sales job believing no one is hiring stock brokers when his wife spots an ad looking for that very thing. Scorsese's depiction of the penny stock chop shop is perfect. Located in a dumpy strip center, Belfort discovers a room full of losers, not a quotron terminal in sight, selling shares from the Pink Sheets (companies that don't meet the financial reporting criteria to be listed on NASDAQ or one of the other exchanges).

Belfort is stunned when he learns he can earn 50 percent commissions selling this junk. And sell it he can, spinning elaborate tales about the amazing profit potential of companies he knows little about. He sells dreams of riches to working folk.

What "Wolf" neglects is to actually show us a customer. Moviegoers saw Harry Reynard's anguish when he lost his life savings in "Boiler Room" a 2000 movie also based upon Stratton Oakmont. And who can forget the beaten down James Lingk (Jonathan Pryce), who falls for Ricky Roma's (Al Pacino) soft sell in David Mamet's masterpiece "Glengarry Glen Ross," the classic in this genre and a much superior movie to Scorsese's.

Belfort soon starts his own firm and hires a collection of old friends and odd balls to pitch shares. The idea is to gain customer confidence by first selling blue chips and then make the real money later pushing penny stocks. Belfort then instructs his sales force to sell the pink sheet shares to rich people exclusively, forgetting the middle class cliental.

Presumably rich folks are sophisticated investors, but like the poor they're always wanting to make something for nothing.

To make the real money, Belfort gets into the initial public offering (IPO) business. In the movie Belfort takes Steve Madden Shoe company public. Madden was a high school buddy of Belfort's partner Danny Porush (renamed Donnie Azoff in the movie).

The SEC enforcement attorney on Belfort's case, Ronald Rubin, wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street outlining how Belfort made his millions. Stratton Oakmont would sell the IPO shares to insider friends who would in turn sell the shares back to the firm at a small profit. The Stratton sales force would would then line up buyers.

Customers were told they couldn't get in at the initial price. Friends of Belfort and Porush would buy and sell shares between them at ever increasing prices until the shares hit the price Belfort was looking for and then the customer orders were filled at the highest price.

Then the money really started rolling in. More staff are hired. Forbes does a hatchet piece on ?Belfort which only makes more young brokers want to work for him. ?Management never grows up. A new wife is married. The parties get wilder. The drugs get heavier. Midgets get tossed.

Rubin provides a key admission in his analysis. "The run-up from $4 to $12 could be accomplished in minutes. This was a common first-day trading pattern for legitimate hot IPO stocks during the 1990s, so the manipulation wasn?t obvious," he writes.

What Scorcese's story leaves out is that Stratton Oakmont was wheeling and dealing during the late 1990's tech stock boom. Cheap Fed money sent everyone looking for easy riches and Belfort's salesforce was there to feed their customer's hopes and dreams. ?Who could tell the difference between Pets.com and the shares Stratton was pitching?

Rubin writes that the same boiler-room fraud wouldn't work today, ?"so long as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (Finra) did their jobs, but the same was true in Stratton Oakmont?s time."

Belfort was a charismatic leader who created tremendous loyalty among his workforce. DiCaprio makes a couple stirring speeches to the Stratton Oakmont troops. But the government picks up Belfort' trail and ultimately he shows what kind of guy he really is.

Prosecutor Cohen is especially unhappy that DiCaprio's Belfort appears with the real Belfort himself at the end of the movie pitching Belfort's real life motivational speaking enterprise. But I thought it a fitting end to an overly long movie. Belfort is no Willy Loman. There is always something to sell, memories are short, and suckers are always ready to get rich.
