Man calls 911 for chest pains, sheriff deputy shows up and shoves him to the ground

Comment: It's becoming more and more apparent that the police see themselves as above the law and see the people they are supposed to be protecting as the enemy. This man called 911 for help, because there was a time when he was younger that doing that would mean he would actually be cared for. But in psychopathic police state that the U.S. lives in today, the police no longer exist to "protect and serve". They exist to protect the elite and the rest of us are the enemies who are to be treated as such.


A West Virginia man says he was thrown to the ground by a sheriff's deputy after he called for help while experiencing a possible medical emergency.

Jerry Maynard said he was having chest pains Thursday after drinking some whiskey at his Delbarton home, reported WSAZ-TV, so he called 911.

An ambulance arrived a short time later, and emergency medical crews examined him and found his vital signs normal. But the pains flared up again, Maynard said, so he called 911 a second time.

Two Mingo County sheriff's deputies arrived this time with the ambulance, although the Mingo County sheriff declined to say why. Maynard said one of the deputies swore at him and threatened to kill him if he called 911 again.

Surveillance video from a neighbor's home shows one of the deputies approach Maynard and shove him hard in the chest, knocking him flat on his back.

8-year-old girl given crystal meth during Halloween trick-or-treating

Police in northern California are looking into who gave a plastic bag of methamphetamine to a trick-or-treating 8-year-old girl on Halloween.

Her father found the small zip-style bag filled with powder-like substance among the kid's Halloween candy and called the police at around 8.30 am local time Monday.

Police found that the bag contained one-tenth of a gram of crystal methamphetamine, AP reported. The girl had been trick-or-treating in the Promenade neighborhood of Hercules, a town in San Francisco Bay Area.

It is not clear if the girl was given the drugs intentionally or by accident, and the authorities currently have no suspect, local Sergeant Ezra Tafesse told Contra Costa Times.

The complications in finding the suspect are connected to the fact that it is hard to identify the fingerprints after so many people handled the evidence.

Comment: It's not just one sick person. The entire society in the U.S. is sick and the world is going to hell in a handbasket. It's easy to write off this incident as the actions of one individual, but the U.S. is in a moral bankruptcy and this incident is just a microcosm of that bankruptcy. From a former police chief sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl to a man being sentenced to jail for feeding the homeless to a woman being kidnapped and sexually assaulted by the LAPD, this is a society in complete and total disarray, a sick society.

Collapse in slow motion: The US Empire spends trillions on war while public health services crumble

Washington escalates its military interventions abroad, launching simultaneous air and ground attacks in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan; multiplying drone attacks in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia; training, arming and financing proxy mercenaries in Jordan, the Gulf States and Iraq; and dispatching National Guard battalions to West Africa, ostensibly to combat the Ebola epidemic, though they lack the most elementary public health capabilities. All in all the US spent $3.5 trillion for military invasions over 6 years.

At the same time, the US domestic public health services have deteriorated. At the state and local level, like Dallas, Texas and at the national level, officials and major institutions demonstrate an inability to effectively detect and manage cases of Ebola infections among the general population in a timely manner. An infected Liberian immigrant was not diagnosed correctly when he presented to a major Dallas hospital emergency room. Instead he received irrelevant and unnecessary 'imaging studies' and was sent home with oral antibiotics. This confirmed the widespread belief that Emergency Room physicians and nurses are under pressure from their administration to order costly CT scans and MRI's on patients as a way to make money for the hospital and to cover-up their incompetence at basic patient history and physical examination. Despite the patient's informing hospital workers of his recent arrival from Liberia, an Ebola outbreak hot-spot, personnel did not put on basic protective gowns, gloves, hoods and masks and they allowed the febrile, vomiting, desperately sick man to contaminate large areas of the emergency department, waiting room and MRI suite. Quarantine was not even considered. . . .

Comment: The US is the greatest danger to itself and the planet. With the arming of lunatics in order to justify destroying their host countries, the US has proven that it has nothing to bring to the bargaining table except a plague of corruption. And the prognosis is not looking very good. As it's stated in the article, "The rise of the BRICS nations has ushered in a new order":
Putin has called for a "new world order," with the aim of stabilizing the globe. He believes the US is abusing its role as global leader. What's not being widely reported is the fact that the pillars of the old order have been crumbing for years.

People revolt in Burkina Faso, psychopathic power struggles ensue

Hundreds of thousands of people in Burkina Faso have forced the longtime imperialist-backed leader, President Blaise Compaore, to resign amid mass demonstrations and rebellions in several cities across the West African country. Compaore took power in a French-supported coup on Oct. 15, 1987 against revolutionary Pan-Africanist and socialist leader Capt. Thomas Sankara.

Several political parties and movements that are seeking to reclaim the legacy of Sankara were very much in evidence during the unrest that reached a critical point on Oct. 30 when thousands stormed the parliament building and setting it alight. The legislative body was set to vote on a motion to extend the 27-year rule of Compaore, who although coming out of the military, ran for office repeatedly as a civilian candidate.

Compaore sought to reassert his authority by refusing to formally resign from the presidency until the evening of Oct. 31. Gen. Honore Traore announced after the rebellion on Oct. 30 that he was assuming power and dissolving parliament.

To avoid sanctions, Burkina Faso's military alleges it will hand over power to civilians

Burkina Faso's military told religious leaders today that it plans to hand over power to civilians to avoid sanctions against the West African nation.

The heads of Catholic, evangelical Christian and Muslim faiths met with Lt. Col. Isaac Zida this morning, the Mogho Naaba, king of the Mossi ethnic group, said in an interview. The king was in the meeting. Zida was appointed as acting president after Blaise Compaore was ousted last week.

"They came to tell us that they intend to hand over power to civilians in order to avoid international sanctions on Burkina," the Mogho Naaba said. "We're asking political parties to agree among each other to end the protests. We're also asking youth to refrain from looting to save our country."

Comment: It looks like the protests for Compaore to step down broke out due to his decision to extend his time in power. But ultimately, to those with real power, it doesn't matter who's in charge as long as no fundamental changes are allowed to occur. This is why Compaore was installed in the first place.

Bodies of 286 women raped and shot dead discovered, 400 listed missing in East Ukraine: Donetsk official

The bodies of 286 women have recently been discovered in the eastern Ukrainian city of Krasnoarmeisk while almost 400 women between the ages of 18 and 25 are still listed as missing, Alexander Zakharchenko, prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic said Friday.

"Around 400 women between the ages of 18 and 25 have gone missing in Krasnoarmeisk where [Ukrainian forces] Dnepr-1 was based. The bodies of 286 women around Krasnoarmeisk who had been raped have been discovered," Zakharchenko said at a meeting with students from Donetsk National Technical University.

The city of Krasnoarmeisk is located some 45 kilometers (28 miles) northwest of Donetsk, the capital of the self-proclaimed republic.

Comment: In another report we read that these women were later shot dead. Whether we have further confirmation or not, it would behoove us to remember that rape is a war crime and a major component of genocide - something that is definitely happening in Eastern Ukraine. It is a humanitarian disaster which only Russia has sought to relieve. For more information, see:

We look back to the 1940s and we wonder in horror how the Nazis were able to create such a repressive, inhumane and utterly insane system and cause all the destruction and deaths that they did for so long! But someone looking from the future back to our world today, would wonder with the same exact horror, provided that s/he has any conscience.

New hope for 43 missing Mexican students as Iguala's fugitive mayor detained

The detention of the fugitive mayor and his wife, who are suspected of being behind the disappearance of 43 student teachers in the southern Mexican city of Iguala six weeks ago, in coordination with a local drug trafficking gang, has raised hopes that the missing will soon be found.

"This was the missing piece," said Felipe de la Cruz, the father of one of the missing students. "This arrest will help us find our kids. It was the government who took our kids."

Mayor Abarca
© www.veooz.comIguala Mayor Abarca
Abarca and his wife, María de los Angeles Piñeda, were detained in the early hours of Tuesday in Mexico City by the federal authorities. They were immediately taken to the office of the attorney general for questioning and medical tests.

The government is under enormous pressure to find the students as a first step towards quelling the outrage triggered by the events in Iguala, in the state of Guerrero.

The disappearance of the students has highlighted both the degree of collusion of some local authorities around Mexico with organised crime, as well as federal tolerance of this. There have been numerous large emotional demonstrations demanding more action to find the students, as well as a few violent attacks on government buildings. More protests are planned for this week.

Comment: Mayor Abarca and his wife are publicly accused of being the masterminds behind the violent incidents of September 26, leading to six deaths (so far). More than 13 mass graves have been found since then with 38 still unidentified bodies. The students of the Ayotzinapa Teacher Training College, which is labelled by politicians as a "hotbed" for guerrilla groups, have been harassed by both the local and federal government. The disappearance of the missing 43 has prompted a wave of criticism all over the world against Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto.

New Delhi court overturns rape conviction ruling the victim couldn't be sexually assaulted because 'she was beyond the age of menopause'

The Delhi high court noted in its judgement acquitting an alleged rapist, that sexual intercourse between the accused and the victim, who was "beyond the age of menopause", was "forceful [but] it was not forcible".

A bench comprising justices Pradeep Nandrajog and Mukta Gupta ruled that the absence of the victim's consent for sex was not proved beyond reasonable doubt because even though "forceful penetration is evident from the injuries on the vaginal orifices [...] however, besides the injuries on the vagina there is no other injury mark on the body of the deceased [victim]".

Acquitting the accused Achey Lal, justices Nandrajog and Gupta wrote in the judgement delivered on 30 October:
"Achey Lal even if held guilty for causing the offence of Section 376 IPC cannot be held guilty for offence under Section 302 IPC as he neither had any intention nor knowledge that such a forceful act of sexual intercourse would cause the death of the deceased. Consequently he is acquitted for the offence punishable under Section 302 IPC.

As regards the offence punishable under Section 376 IPC the deceased was aged around 65-70 years, thus beyond the age of menopause. We find force in the contention of the learned counsel for the appellant that even if the sexual intercourse was forceful it was not forcible and contrary to the wishes and consent of the deceased. From the MLC of Achey Lal and the post-mortem of the deceased it is evident that both Achey Lal and deceased had consumed alcohol. The forceful penetration is evident from the injuries on the vaginal orifices. However, besides the injuries on the vagina there is no other injury mark on the body of the deceased or on the appellant to show that there was any protest by the deceased. Hence we are of the opinion that it has not been proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant committed sexual intercourse with the deceased contrary to her wishes or her consent.

Consequently the appellant is also acquitted of the charges under Section 376 IPC. The impugned judgment of conviction and order on sentence are set aside."
With this precedent the bench takes a step back from the Mathura rape case in which it was held that there is no requirement of explaining injuries for rape and that consent should be unequivocal, reported DNA India.

Comment: We live in a culture that tends to blame the woman for rape in some way, shape or form. Menopause? That is beyond ridiculous!

Biowarfare? Researchers say current strain of Ebola much more lethal and suggest links to US biowarfare labs

ebola biological warfare
Noted infectious disease experts have said that the current strain of Ebola virus plaguing Africa and slowly spreading in the United States is potentially much more lethal than previous strains identified by virologists.

As reported by Washington's Blog, Dr. Michael Osterholm, the head of the Center for Infection Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, a prominent public health researcher who is nationally recognized, gave a talk in recent days explaining what another top Ebola virologist has found.

During his talk, which was broadcast on C-SPAN, Osterholm said Gary Kobinger, chief of Special Pathogens for Canada's national health agency, has said the current Ebola strain appears to be far worse than any previous strain. He added that Kobinger believes that the current strain could more easily be spread through aerosols than those previously identified as well.

Former police chief will plead guilty to sexually assaulting 4-year-old girl

Andrew Demers
A former Maine State Police chief accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old child is scheduled to change his plea to guilty on Tuesday afternoon to a charge of unlawful sexual contact.

Andrew Demers Jr., 74, of New Gloucester is expected to be sentenced immediately after his plea in the Cumberland County Courthouse in Portland before Justice Thomas Warren at 2 p.m.

Demers' attorney, Walter McKee, and Cumberland County District Attorney Stephanie Anderson confirmed last month that they had reached a plea agreement, but neither of them would release details other than to say the sentence will be contested.

As part of the plea agreement, the more serious Class A felony charge of gross sexual assault is expected to be dismissed in exchange for Demers' plea to the lesser charge.

Unlawful sexual contact is a Class B felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Demers could have faced up to 30 years on the Class A felony had he not reached a plea agreement.
