• Alan Gross Release Heralds Reset in US-Cuba Relations  

  US aid worker Alan Gross is a free man, after finishing five years in a Cuban jail on espionage charges. On Wednesday, December 17, he boarded a plane for the United States, according to an announcement from the administration of President Barack Obama.

  Reuters reports that several senior US officials have indicated that this marks the beginning of a new era in diplomatic relations between the two countries, and could see the opening of a US embassy in Havana for the first time in over 50 years.

  As part of a historic deal between the Cuban and US governments, the contractor with development agency USAID was released in return for the freedom of 3 Cubans jailed in the United States. In addition, a US intelligence source imprisoned for over 20 years in Cuba will also be freed.

• USAID Exposed in Cuba – What it Tells Us About US Subversion Worldwide
  – Revealed in an Associated Press (AP) investigation, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) had for two years attempted to create and exploit a social network within Cuba for the purpose of sparking unrest and overthrowing the Cuban government. The program was an abject failure, primarily because the Cuban government took the necessary measures to investigate, interrogate, and otherwise disrupt what was foreign-backed sedition.

  AP would reveal in its report titled, “US co-opted Cuba’s hip-hop scene to spark change,” that:

  The program is laid out in documents involving Creative Associates International, a Washington, D.C., contractor paid millions of dollars to undermine Cuba’s communist government. The thousands of pages include contracts, emails, preserved chats, budgets, expense reports, power points, photographs and passports.

  The work included the creation of a “Cuban Twitter” social network and the dispatch of inexperienced Latin American youth to recruit activists, operations that were the focus of previous AP stories.

  Far from the first time USAID and other US organizations claiming to be aiding in development but in fact engaged in political subversion, the Cuban program itself was based on another US-backed program used to topple the government of Serbia in 2000, AP would reveal.

Bloggospherysteria – Avoiding Netysteria

• US Supreme Court Allows Traffic Stop Searches When No Law Violated  US Supreme Court holds that traffic stops and searches may be conducted even when police officers are wrong about the law.  “Giving officers license to effect seizures so long as they can attach to their reasonable view of the facts some reasonable legal interpretation (or misinterpretation) that suggests a law has been violated significantly expands this authority,” Justice Sotomayor wrote. “One wonders how a citizen seeking to be law-abiding and to structure his or her behavior to avoid these invasive, frightening, and humiliating encounters could do so.” – I explain how Behind The Woodshed. Hint: It wasn’t about Searches.
  

• Ignorance Is No Excuse For Wrongdoing…Unless You’re A Cop   . . . in its 8-1 ruling in Heien v. State of North Carolina, the Supreme Court gave police in America one more ready excuse to routinely violate the laws of the land–this time under the guise of ignorance.

  The Heien case, which started with an improper traffic stop based on a police officer’s ignorance of the law and ended with an unlawful search, seizure, and arrest, was supposed to ensure that ignorance of the law did not become a ready excuse for government officials to routinely violate the law. – Heien Decision
  

• You Don’t Have the Right to Remain Silent  On Monday, in a case called Salinas v. Texas that hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves, the Supreme Court held that you remain silent at your peril. The court said that this is true even before you’re arrested, when the police are just informally asking questions. – I explain how you still Have your right to remain silent Behind The Woodshed.

Identifying Official Unaccountable Militaristic Morons

• Cops go ballistic on ‘misbehaving’ preschooler   Officials at a Virginia school turned an allegedly misbehaving 4-year-old preschooler over to law enforcement, where he was put in handcuffs and shackles and ordered to talk to jail inmates, according to a legal group intervening in the case.
  The unnamed student, who was enrolled in the pre-kindergarten program at Nathanael Greene Primary School, in Stanardsville, Virginia, was removed from the classroom Oct. 16 after allegedly “becoming agitated and throwing several items onto the floor.”
  

• Grand jury awaiting decision in Jose Walter Garza case    Six Laredo police officers involved in the shooting of a man on Laredo’s west side will not go to trial.
  A grand jury had to decide whether lethal force was justified in the shooting and death of Jose Walter Garza.
  The district attorney says that in any situation this is a murder.
  However, the exception is the right to use deadly force and police have that right.
  
• Typical American “Justice,” Cop Caught with 4 lbs of Weed Won’t Face Charges 

  K-9 police officer Joe Avila, a veteran with the Richmond Police Department, has been on administrative leave since September after an internal investigation found he failed to file more than three dozen police reports.

  One of those reports involved the seizure of four to five pounds of marijuana. Instead of storing the pot in the department’s evidence locker, Avila stored it in the trunk of his car and home, and failed to file a police report about the seizure.

  The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office, which has been investigating the case, said it is not inclined to file charges. The county’s chief public defender, Robin Lipetzky, told The Contra Costa Times the evidence is not strong enough to produce a conviction.

  What a surprise, the cop who stole #Cannabis won’t be punished. #AskACop, they know how to get away with anything! http://t.co/Ypdv6AI4ab

• Cop With Five Pounds of Marijuana in His House Won’t Face Charges  

  According to Lipetzky, the decision likely stems from evidence not strong enough to produce a conviction.

  A search warrant affidavit obtained by this newspaper shows that Avila picked up a box containing about 4 to 5 pounds of marijuana from a UPS store on Nov. 25, 2013.

  Avila then radioed a dispatcher to say that he would file an incident report.

  Avila never did so, according to the search warrant.

  Instead, in what several police sources have said is a violation of Richmond police policy, the marijuana ended up in his Oakley home instead of being placed into a department evidence locker.

You know When You Live Under Military Oppression When – They Admit It

• California Highway Patrol Describes Itself as “Paramilitary Organization”  

  America’s largest police agency, the California Highway Patrol, is now officially describing itself as a “paramilitary organization,” a revelation that will undoubtedly feed into concerns that the militarization of domestic law enforcement is intensifying.

  The CHP’s adoption of this term is now so prevalent that the organization is openly using it as a recruiting tool for new employees.

  A post entitled Is This Job for You? which appears on the CHP.gov website asks all new applicants for the role of CHP Cadet, “Are you willing to work in a para-military organization, operating under a structured chain-of-command?”

• NY Police Union Says Its at ‘War’, Blames Mayor for Cop Deaths  The mayors hands are literally dripping with our blood because of his words actions and policies and we have, for the first time in a number of years, become a “wartime” police department. We will act accordingly,” read the statement.  

• Innocent Man Raided, Tased, Beaten, & Shot By a Corrupt SWAT Team who Lied to Get the Raid  

  A completely innocent man was shot, tasered, brutally beaten, and had stun grenades thrown at him by vicious and incompetent SWAT officers. Then, those same officers tried to cover up their mistake by charging the victim, Chad Chadwick, with six criminal offenses including felony assault on a police officer.

  This incident happened in 2011, but it has taken Chadwick three years and his entire life savings, to finally beat the charges that he was falsely accused of. Last month, a jury found Chad Chadwick not guilty of interfering with police. With tears in their eyes members of the jury offered the exonerated defendant comforting hugs, according to My Fox Houston.

  “They tried to make me a convict. It broke me financially, bankrupted me. I used my life savings, not to mention, I lost my kids,” said Chadwick. 

Ramifications To Military Occupation – As Predicted BTW

• 2 New York cops murdered in ‘execution style’ ambush Two NYPD officers have been shot dead at point blank range by a suspect who ambushed their patrol car ‘execution style’ in Brooklyn. The perpetrator fled the scene and committed suicide, authorities confirmed.

Proof There Are No Good Cops

• Cop Stops Fellow Cop From Choking a Handcuffed Man, She Was Then Beaten and Fired  

  “I don’t regret it, I’d do it again”
  Buffalo , NY– While killer cops get sent on paid vacations, it’s hard to imagine what one has to do to actually be fired.  It turns out, the answer is be a good cop.
  Former Buffalo Police Officer, Cariol Horne is fighting for her pension since she was fired after 19 years on the force, over an incident in 2006 when she stopped a fellow officer from choking a handcuffed suspect.
  Horne had received a call that Officer Gregory Kwiatkowski was at the scene of a domestic dispute and in need of assistance.  When she arrived, she witnessed Kwiatkowski violently punching the handcuffed suspect in the face.
  Horne and other officers on the scene removed the suspect from the house, but once outside Kwiatkowski pounced again, this time choking the handcuffed man.  Believing Kwiatkowski to be out of out of control, Horne removed his arm from around the man’s neck.
  “Gregory Kwiatkowski turned Neal Mack around and started choking him. So then I’m like, ‘Greg! You’re choking him,’ because I thought whatever happened in the house he was still upset about so when he didn’t stop choking him I just grabbed his arm from around Neal Mack’s neck,” Horne told WKBW.
  Infuriated that she had crossed the thin blue line, Kwaitkowski then punched Horne in the face.  The punch so was hard that Horne ended up having to have her bridge replaced.  She was then injured again as officers dragged her away from trying to defend herself.
  Here is where things get crazy.

Sydney Psyop – As Predicted BTW

• DHS insider: Sydney to be the game changer 
  

  In the event the reader is just now hearing about the hostage crisis unfolding at the popular Lindt Café in Sydney, Australia, it was about 9:45 a.m. (AEDT) Sunday when a reported Muslim terrorist walked into the café, wielding at least one shotgun or similarly described long gun, and a package reported to be a bomb and took an estimated 30 people hostage. Reports state that five hostages managed to escape, leaving an estimated two-dozen unarmed people inside the building. Police are not confirming the exact number of hostages,  nor are they revealing the name of the perpetrator.

  DHS insider information

  It was just a few hours into the hostage crisis at the Lindt Café in Sydney, Australia when I received information from my source within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that this evolving incident will be a catalyst for many events inside the U.S. and throughout the West.

Intended 9/11 War Crimes Recognized

• CIA-Folterbericht bestätigt, 9/11 ist gelogen

   Part Translation:  But it gets worse, because the torture which has applied the United States was a systematic program that is specifically designed to produce deliberately false confessions. Yes you read it right, the whole point of torture was to have false statements as “evidence”. Why? Because as in the case of 9/11, the crime was indeed carried out by the CIA itself. They needed after “confessions” of scapegoats to divert attention from their own guilt. The randomly somewhere had picked up, kidnapped and imprisoned “terrorists” were tortured as “actors” who then added everything the CIA thugs accused.
  Them I repeat that the CIA torture was not intended find out the truth. Was not at all because the prisoners had perpetrated nothing. But it was to get the desired statement for the record, having been involved the forced confession of the crime. This “confession” in the form of a tape recording and writing on paper with signature was then passed, the superiors were satisfied and you could finish the case. Is it logical if you already staged a false flag, then you need not only the people you push the deed in the shoes, but they also have to admit they were the perpetrators.their police and other government officials be held accountable by its citizens.

From The I’m a Torturer And Can’t Stop Chronicles

• US asks Vatican to help close Guantanamo Bay  President Barack Obama’s goal of closing the Guantanamo Bay prison complex in Cuba has met heavy resistance from lawmakers in Washington, and now the White House is turning to a higher authority for help: the Vatican.
  During an hour-long meeting with Cardinal Pietro Parolin on Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry asked the Vatican to help the United States find “adequate humanitarian solutions” for inmates currently being held at Guantanamo. Pope Francis himself has stressed that all prisoners should be treated humanely and with dignity.

But There Is A Limit

• Judge Rules Abuse of Executive Orders are Unconstitutional
  

  A federal judge, Judge Arthur J. Schwab of the Western District of Pennsylvania, used a deportation decision to probe the constitutionality of President Obama’s executive order on amnesty, declaring it “unconstitutional.” It is about time that Executive Orders are challenged in court for they are absolutely unconstitutional since they smack of a dictatorial abuse of power that denies the people the right to decide the fate of their nation.

• Judge Blasts School Board & Cop over Unlawful Arrest & Silencing of Concerned Father  

  f you recall, back in May, William Baer was arrested after voicing opposition to a school board meeting about a controversial book by Jodi Picoult titled Nineteen Minutes, a story about a school shooting that contained pornographic content. It was also required reading for ninth graders. Now a New Hampshire 4^th Circuit Court of Appeals judge has blasted the school board for “silencing” him and arresting him, which was a violation of Mr. Baer’s free speech.

  Bob Unruh at WND reports:

  In dismissing charges against Baer, Judge James M. Carroll said the court “does agree with the defendant’s argument that, often in an official meeting or at the court, for that matter, individuals, from time to time, may be disruptive, but the disruptiveness should not be cause for an arrest in the first instance.”
  

  “The sequence of the arrest actions cause pause by the court as to the chilling, if not silencing of a citizen by the state, for actions which do not warrant a criminal arrest nor conviction. The court finds that the actions for ‘order’ by the state do not ‘balance,’ in the facts of this particular case, the speech rights of the defendant.”
  

  The court also said that Mr. Baer didn’t purposely cause a breach of the peace, and furthermore dismissed the claim that Baer refused to comply with a lawful order of a peace officer.

• Congress quietly ends federal government’s ban on medical marijuana  

  Tucked deep inside the 1,603-page federal spending measure is a provision that effectively ends the federal government’s prohibition on medical marijuana and signals a major shift in drug policy.

  The bill’s passage over the weekend marks the first time Congress has approved nationally significant legislation backed by legalization advocates. It brings almost to a close two decades of tension between the states and Washington over medical use of marijuana.

  Under the provision, states where medical pot is legal would no longer need to worry about federal drug agents raiding retail operations. Agents would be prohibited from doing so.

We Just Have To Enforce When ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

• To prevent torture, prosecute torture  

  After all the battles over redaction in the Senate Intelligence Committee torture report, we should keep one thing in mind: this is not, primarily, a battle over information.

  Having sat for many years across many tables from many of the “folks” the U.S. tortured in the global “war on terror,” men like Murat Kurnaz and Mohammed al-Qatani, and having heard first-hand their stories of being beaten, hung from ceilings, sexually assaulted, exposed to extreme temperatures, deprived of sleep, and subjected to numerous other brutal acts, my colleagues and I at the Center for Constitutional Rights can assure you: the important thing about the torture report is not just what we learn from it – it is what we do about it. “Prosecuting those who tortured during past extraordinary times is not sanctimony, it is accountability.”
  

• A Father’s Activism Changed the Law: Cops in WI No Longer Allowed to Investigate Themselves 

  The Kenosha County district attorney declined to charge the officers, and said they acted with “courage and distinction.”

  Michael Bell Sr. wasn’t having it.

  “I was just completely appalled,” Bell says. He says he knew the police had not even talked to the witnesses or gotten the report back from the crime lab. “So to clear themselves in 48 hours, I was just completely flabbergasted.”

  The lab reports came back and revealed that Michael Bell Jr.’s DNA and fingerprints were not found on the officer’s gun.

  Bell, a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force, had been a part of “mishap investigations” before. So, he decided to launch his own investigation.

  The Bell family filed a wrongful death civil suit, and six years later, received a $1.75 million settlement. They used the settlement money to fund a grassroots campaign using billboards, newspaper ads, and commercials to question whether police officers should be allowed to investigate other officers who kill citizens while on duty.

  From NPR:

  The campaigning went on for years, but Barton says the message really gained momentum after another police incident in 2011, where a 22-year-old man died in the backseat of a police car. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

  Bell bought every available billboard in Milwaukee with slogans like: “When Police Kill, Should They Judge Themselves?”

  “After we created enough ruckus, the unions ended up sitting down with us and talking with us,” Bell says. They told him that if he wanted to take the billboards down, they would work with him in crafting some the legislation he sought.

  “I had formulated in my mind what really needed to occur here to make this process better,” he says.

  The law they put forth, Wisconsin Assembly Bill 409, was signed into law by  Governor Scott Walker in April.

  That law made Wisconsin the first state in the US to mandate that outside investigators must investigate officer-involved shootings.

  Perhaps at some point, we will see laws like this enacted in more states. Hopefully it won’t take the loss of more innocent lives, hundreds of thousands of dollars in grassroots campaigning, and a decade of fighting to make that happen.
