Indianapolis "Officer of the Year" Attacks Man in Under 16 Seconds of Conversation

INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- A 60-year old businessman was attacked in the lobby of the JW Marriott hotel only 16 seconds after a police officer had interjected himself into a peaceful dispute regarding hotel services. It was all caught on video, evidence which contradicts the officer's story.

Brian Hudkins was disputing with hotel staff over the fact that unauthorized people had entered his hotel room. He was upset but not in any way aggressive. He even clasped his hands behind his back.

That's when "Officer of the Year" T. Michael Wilson and Brian Hudkins began interacting. Video shows that in only 16 seconds of talking to Hudkins, he inexplicably grabs him by the shoulders and tackles him violently to the ground. Hudkins had his hands behind his back during the entire body-slam maneuver.

Video footage from outside the hotel shows the officer taking Hudkins to the ground for a second time, again without any clear reason for using that level of force on a handcuffed man.

When asked if it looked like excessive force was used, Police Chief Rick Hite said, "It looks like force was used."

Hudkins suffered cuts and bruises, an injured shoulder, was denied medication, and has had his business and reputation suffer because of the incident. He has filed a lawsuit against IMPD.

The Life of Julia Under Anarchy

by Kevin Carson

As a toddler Julia will begin a twenty-odd-year sentence in institutions designed to process her into a ?human resource?: Someone encultured to view the existing institutional framework and power structure as natural and inevitable, who trusts and obeys the state and takes its self-justifications at face value. Someone who takes orders from authority figures behind desks, and has been trained ? at taxpayer expense ? in the skills employers want in their human resources. Both Obama and Romney enthusiastically support the need for this school-to-HR treadmill to ?maintain global competitiveness.?

Once Julia comes off the human resources assembly line, she?ll look for work in an economy where most employment opportunities are controlled by hierarchical, authoritarian institutions. She?ll spend her work life selling her labor in a system designed to minimize the competition employers face from self-employment ? in which the state?s avowed macroeconomic policy is to keep the bargaining power of labor (aka ?inflationary pressure?) within manageable bounds.

If she tries to escape the reservation, she?ll confront a host of state-enforced artificial scarcities whose main effect is to make the means of production artificially expensive for labor, and impose artificial entry costs and overhead on self-employment. Until Julia turns 65, she?ll exist in a system where wage labor is the only alternative for all but the rich. The President, Democrat or Republican, will accept the basic presupposition of the ?jobs culture? as a fact of nature.

Under market anarchy, Julia would live in a society where education was self-organized by her neighbors, her studies were shaped by her needs rather than those of future employers, and economic power was distributed and decentralized. She?d spend her working life in a market without entry barriers to using her skills in self-employment or in a cooperative shop, and where if she did consider wage employment she?d encounter potential employers as an equal rather than as a commodity pre-shaped to their needs.

As a consumer, Julia will pay prices consisting largely of rents on artificial scarcity enforced by the state. She?ll spend $200 for proprietary software CDs that cost $5 to print out, and pay a 2000% markup on medications under patent. She?ll buy sneakers with a $195 brand-name premium over the $5 the sweatshop charged to make them, and a camera whose price comes mainly from embedded patent rents rather than actual parts and labor. She?ll pay a markup of about 20% as the result of price-fixing on goods manufactured in oligopoly industries.

Local goods and services will be far more expensive because of zoning laws that protect brick-and-mortar shops by requiring the rental of commercial space as a condition of doing business, high licensing fees, and regulatory codes that criminalize small-batch production by mandating industrial-scale machinery. Both Obama and Romney strongly support all these policies.

Under market anarchy, there?d be no state-enforced cartels, entry barriers, or artificial scarcity. Competition would drive the prices Julia pays down to the actual cost of production. Julia would far more easily purchase home-grown, -baked, and -sewn goods, as well as unlicensed daycare and cab service ? all of which would involve near-zero overhead because they were provided out of her neighbors? homes with ordinary household capital goods they already owned.

Whether Julia buys or rents her home, the price of the land it sits on reflects enormous tracts of vacant and unimproved land being held out of use by state policy, so that landlords are protected from competition. Neither Obama nor Romney can even imagine an alternative to this state of affairs.

Under market anarchy, there would be no enforceable title to vacant and unimproved land. Competition from freely available vacant land would reduce landlord rent, driving down Julia?s housing costs.

Throughout her life, Julia?s travels in the United States will be restricted by an internal passport system in which boarding a plane, and soon maybe a train or bus, will require submission to being either scanned or groped. Her phone and Internet history and her purchases will be constantly monitored by a government for which the Fourth Amendment is a quaint relic of history. Every business where she shops will be spying on her for the government. She?ll be liable to indefinite detention without charge, or perhaps even murder by drone, based on an arbitrary and unilateral finding that she?s a ?terrorist.? If there were ever any lingering hopes that the party controlling the presidency would make a difference in this regard, Obama dashed them long ago.

Under market anarchy ? Well, you get the idea.

Under either party, Julia will be a means to the ends of people utterly unaccountable to her, a tool for enriching a ruling class. Under anarchy, Julia will be an end in her own right, free to build any life she chooses in peaceful cooperation with her neighbors.

i was asked very recently, if i would like to go back to a simpler time, when life wasn't so complicated. the idea was to use love to fix the future.

my answer was immediately, "NO!"

like this article, the question was a con. if we keep going back, we never move forward, never end the dictatorship, and never free ourselves.

regrets are markers to learn from, and i say "take me anywhere but back."

I'm sorry, but this passage is absolute rubbish:

>>"As a consumer, Julia will pay prices consisting largely of rents on artificial scarcity enforced by the state. She?ll spend $200 for proprietary software CDs that cost $5 to print out, and pay a 2000% markup on medications under patent.

Sure, software costs pennies to copy. But what does that first copy cost to create? What about the dozens (hundreds? Thousands?) of man-years of labor from highly-skilled programmers and artists which are used to create that product?

Dittos for the hypothetical medication. Pharma is not a charity. It is a business and deserves every right to charge anything it wishes for a product IT INVENTED in order to cover the years of research and development, pay for those failures which never made it to market, and fund ongoing research AND still, somehow, pay a dividend to the company owners (aka shareholders).

Finally, no one is compelled to purchase $200 sneakers. Somehow my $15 "skippies" from Target (or was it walmart?) seem to have lasted for nearly two years and miraculously my friends haven't abandoned me for my lack of fashion sense.

Yet if you see these as somehow impassible, unpractical barriers, then I present to you three wonderfully simple business scenarios:

Go write computer software and sell it for peanuts.
Discover that new blockbuster drug that cures cancer. Prove it to be safe and effective, then give it away.
Create shoes and sell them for a trifling.

Your strawman is foolish.

If you wish to talk about state-imposed scarcity, talk about the foolishness of licensing boards for interior decorators and flower arrangement. The fact that in many states one may not simply go test for-and-obtain a HVAC license to install heating and cooling systems until one has served as an "apprentice" (read: low-cost-labor) for some arbitrary number of years. Mere knowledge and skill isn't enough in these cases. The existing system is reinforced by the laws and bureaus.

I could give numerous other examples but I doubt it's worth the effort.

I hope you find clarity of thought. Regards,
--Jack

If you want anarchy, try Somalia. Then tell me about peaceful cooperation with her neighbors. Delusional to give man so much credit. Without government gangs always become the government. "Without government gangs always become the government."

You just created a circular argument. That's like saying the problem with sharing is people who don't share. That's not the problem with sharing, that is the problem with selfishness. Stateless society assumes no government, gang or otherwise. You cannot discredit a premise by removing that premise and then positing problems.

Former CIA Agent Charged Under Espionage Act For Reporting Torture

by Willio

In a recent ruling by the Justice Department, former CIA agent John Kiriakou was charged with four felony counts of espionage for discussing the torture involved in CIA's interrogation program with reporters. Young Turks host Cenk Uygur explains the case and points out why this sets a terrible double standard on how our government defends citizens who commit war crimes while chastising those who expose them.

Under Obama, the Freedom of Information Act is Still in Shackles

By TREVOR TIMM, Electronic Frontier Foundation

Three years ago this past weekend, on his first full day in office, President Barack Obama issued his now infamous memo on transparency and open government, which was supposed to fulfill his campaign promise to lead the "most transparent administration in history." Instead,? his administration has been just as secretive--if not more so--than his predecessors, and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has become the prime example of his administration's lack of progress.

In 2009, Obama made FOIA reform the centerpiece of his open government agenda. "My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government," he said, while laying out principles he wished to see his agencies adopt in the proceeding months. In March of 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder issued what the Justice Department called "comprehensive new Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) guidelines." Holder ordered that all executive branch departments and agencies were to apply "a presumption of openness" in response to FOIA requests.

In 2010, EFF's senior counsel David Sobel testified to Congress, calling on the Obama to lead by example if they wish to change the FOIA process.

Unfortunately, secrecy won out in the Obama administration almost immediately. In the early months of his presidency, a court ruled that the administration would have to turn over photos related to the Abu Ghraib torture scandal in response to a FOIA request. Knowing they'd likely lose the appeal, Obama supported a new law that could keep information secret even when FOIA would otherwise require disclosure. The bill's only intention was to create a way to shield photographs of detainee abuse from public disclosure.

President Obama also refused at first to release White House visitor records, a practice for which his predecessor, George W. Bush, was pilloried. The Obama Administration appealed a court's ruling that the visitor logs were subject to FOIA.? In September 2009, Obama reversed course and agreed to release voluntarily White House visitor records going forward. But in 2011, the Administration was still fighting in court to keep the logs before Obama's reversal a secret.

The Associated Press looked at the administration's commitment to transparency in 2010 and concluded Obama was using FOIA exemptions to withhold information from requesters more than Bush did in his final year, despite receiving fewer overall requests. And one of the most frequently used exemptions was one Obama explicitly told the agencies not to use: the "deliberative process" exemption, which allows the government to withhold documents dealing with its decision making process. In Obama's first year in office, the use of the exemption skyrocketed from 47,395 times in 2008 to 70,779 times in 2009.

Worse, more than a year after Obama and Holder's memos, a National Security Archive study found "less than one-third of the 90 federal agencies that process such FOIA requests have made significant changes in their procedures." Even FOIA requests on transparency were held up:

The AP is still waiting--after nearly three months--for records it requested about the White House's "Open Government Directive," rules it issued in December directing every agency to take immediate, specific steps to open their operations up to the public.

Yet around the same time, when President Obama was asked a question at a townhall about why his administration wasn't more transparent, he responded by saying it was the most transparent in the modern era. What was his first reason? The administration's release of White House visitor records--the same records they went to court to fight to keep secret. The President also bragged: "We've revamped the classification system so it's not used to hide things that might be embarrassing to us." Which, of course, is not true either. As EFF has pointed out, government secrecy and overclassification has reach absurd levels under Obama.

More damage was done to FOIA in the Dodd-Frank bill. A little-noticed provision of the recently passed financial-reform legislation stated that the SEC "no longer has to comply with virtually all requests for information releases from the public, including those filed under the Freedom of Information Act." Other media organizations have lodged public complaints about FOIA procedure at the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and even agencies dealing with health and scientific issues like the EPA and NASA.

EFF has experienced many of these problems first hand. When we sued the FBI after it was revealed they were systematically abusing their National Security Letter authority, the bureau redacted the vast majority of the thousands of pages requested. In another case, it was clear the FBI was redacting arbitrarily information when it wasn't appropriate. The DHS singled out EFF, along with other activist groups and media representatives such as the ACLU, EPIC, Human Rights Watch, and AP, for an extra layer of review on its FOIA requests. EFF sued just to find out the names of the members of Obama's Intelligence Oversight Board.

But by March 2011, only 49 of the 90 federal agencies had followed any "specific tasks mandated by the White House to improve their FOIA performance." The National Security Archive found in July that federal backlogs of FOIA requests are growing. A Study released in December of this year by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and OpenTheGovernment.org found the administration was withholding information using nine of the most common exemptions 33% more than George Bush's last full year in office.

But perhaps the worst violation of Obama's open government principles was the deplorable attempt by the Justice Department to change the DOJ's own FOIA regulations. Under the proposed rule, instead of refusing to confirm or deny a document is in the Department's possession, the agency could "respond to the request as if the excluded records did not exist." The Los Angeles Times called it an "outrageous proposal" that "provides a license for the government to lie to its own people and makes a mockery of FOIA." After near universal outcry, including pressure from Congress, the Justice Department scaled back its rules. But as the Sunlight Foundation said, the Justice Department's revised FOIA rules were still "worse than reported" and allow reviewers to dismiss requests for a host of trivial reasons. Obama's Justice Department seemed intent on killing the very law it championed at the start of his administration.

The Freedom of Information Act has been hailed by open government advocates as "one of the most significant laws ever passed by the U.S. Congress," yet its passage and survival has been fought by Presidents for more than forty years. The bill, as a significant check on executive power and secrecy, was originally opposed by Lyndon Johnson, yet was signed into law in 1966. When Congress strengthened the act after the Watergate scandal, President Ford vetoed it on the advice of his then-chief of staff Dick Cheney. Thankfully, Congress overrode his veto. Reagan's Attorney General Edwin Meese was so opposed to FOIA, despite its being law for more than 20 years, he wrote a memo telling the Justice Department to disregard essentially requests it disliked.

President Obama promised to change all that. Unfortunately, it's clear many of his pledges have been broken or ignored, turning his declaration that he would lead the "most transparent administration ever" into a punch line rather than a re-election slogan.

Feds order California pot dispensaries to shut down - despite being legal under state laws

Federal prosecutors have launched a crackdown on pot dispensaries in California, warning the stores that they must shut down in 45 days or face criminal charges.

They also threatened to confiscate their property even if they are operating legally under the state's 15-year-old medical marijuana law.

In an escalation of the ongoing conflict between the U.S. government and the nation's burgeoning medical marijuana industry, California's four U.S. attorneys sent letters on Wednesday and Thursday notifying at least 16 pot shops or their landlords that they are violating federal drug laws, even though medical marijuana is legal in California.

The attorneys are scheduled to announce their coordinated crackdown at a Friday news conference.Their offices refused to confirm the closure orders.

Copies of the letters that a prosecutor sent to 12 San Diego dispensaries were obtained.

They state that federal law 'takes precedence over state law and applies regardless of the particular uses for which a dispensary is selling and distributing marijuana'.

'Under United States law, a dispensary's operations involving sales and distribution of marijuana are illegal and subject to criminal prosecution and civil enforcement actions,' letters signed by U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy in San Diego read.

'Real and personal property involved in such operations are subject to seizure by and forfeiture to the United States ... regardless of the purported purpose of the dispensary.'

Cops increasingly under siege after homeless death

By GILLIAN FLACCUS, GREG RISLING - Associated Press

FULLERTON, Calif. (AP) ? Until last month, the most pressing issues in this quiet Southern California suburb were whether to build homes on rolling hills north of the city, how best to preserve a historic movie theater and a downtown bar scene that got a little too popular for its own good.

Now, the historic city that's home to five colleges and a vibrant nightlife is the target of international outrage after a mentally ill homeless man died following a violent fight with six police officers that was captured on camera. In the video, 37-year-old Kelly Thomas, who suffered from schizophrenia, can be heard crying out for his father over the zapping sound of a stun gun.

The incident last month has ensnared Fullerton in an ever-widening array of state and federal investigations, resignations and rowdy protests ? and things promise to get worse for the city before they get better. The acting police chief last week ordered an internal investigation into an unrelated, but volatile confrontation last year after reviewing cell phone footage that appears to contradict sworn testimony given by police officers in court.
