Comment: So candidate Jill Stein, an ardent environmentalist, is up on criminal charges for spray-painting a message on a bulldozer, while Killary skates by a DOJ indictment for "mishandling" classified U.S. government material and possibly treason? How much more hypocrisy can one stand?


Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein will face charges after she allegedly vandalized equipment at a construction site in North Dakota, the Bismarck Tribune reported.

A spokesperson for Stein told the Associated Press that the candidate wrote "I approve this message" in red spray paint on the blade of a bulldozer while she took part in a protest at a Dakota Access Pipeline construction site Tuesday.

Dakota pipeline: Sioux tribe wins partial halt in federal court

The Standing Rock Sioux tribe's request for a temporary stop work order on the Dakota Access Pipeline has been granted by a federal judge. Sacred sites in North Dakota were bulldozed over the weekend, a day after the tribe identified them in court papers. Energy Transfer Partners is trying to construct a 1,200-mile Dakota Access pipeline.

Work on the pipeline will cease for a limited time between State Highway 1806 and 20 miles east of Lake Oahe, US District Judge James Boasberg ruled Tuesday in Washington DC. The project is allowed to continue west of the highway, because the judge viewed the US Army Corps of Engineers as lacking jurisdiction on private land. The tribe, however, was not pleased, as they had sought a total shutdown of the project. When the stoppage will be lifted remains to be seen.

The order came as a result of an emergency hearing called by Judge Boasberg after the Standing Rock Sioux tribe filed a temporary restraining order over the weekend. Dakota Access construction crews had just used bulldozers to remove topsoil across a 150-foot-wide, two-mile stretch of area near the confluence of the Cannonball River and the Missouri River.

The work destroyed stone features, including prayer rings and cairns used to mark burial grounds, according to the tribe. "I surveyed this land and we confirmed multiple graves and specific prayers sites," Tim Mentz, Sr., the tribe's former longtime historic preservation officer said in a statement Saturday, according to Indianz.com "Portion and possibly complete sites, have been taken out entirely." The destruction led to a confrontation between #NoDAPL protesters and construction workers, where security guards used dogs and pepper spray against protesters.

Comment: The only sacred sites banksters know are the ones that count their money -- amassed from projects like this, along with scavenging the contents of citizen bank accounts.

Arson attack on OSCE vehicle, western Ukraine, a harbinger?

An OSCE vehicle parked near the organization's regional HQ in western Ukraine has been targeted by an arsonist, local media report. A marked Nissan Patrol was damaged by fire in Ivano-Frankovsk, a regional capital in western Ukraine, according to local news agency Galka.

Footage of the incident published by the outlet shows the car with its hood and interior burning as firefighters rush to extinguish the flames. Police are investigating the attack, and the OSCE said it would provide further details in its next report on the situation in Ukraine.

The OSCE mission in Ukraine is best known for monitoring the shaky ceasefire in the east of the country, where for the past two years Kiev has been waging a crackdown on rebel forces. The observers provide regular reports on violations committed by both sides of the conflict.

In addition to monitoring the situation in the east, the security organization's personnel are deployed all across the country.

Comment: Are the boundaries of the conflict within Ukraine moving westward or will this be deemed an independent arson attack? More details will be needed. Targeting an OSCE vehicle is only advantageous to the extent that the organization is important enough to make headlines.

Bill Cosby, charged with sexual assault allegations, is the victim of 'racial bias and prejudice' lawyers say

Bill Cosby's lawyer said Tuesday that his client has been the victim of "racial bias and prejudice" as the sexual assault allegations against him have played out in the court of public opinion.

The statement — which targeted lawyer Gloria Allred, who has represented some of the women who accused Cosby of sexual misconduct — came as a trial date of June 5, 2017, was set this afternoon in the comedian's Pennsylvania sexual assault case.

"Mr. Cosby is no stranger to discrimination and racial hatred, and throughout his career Mr. Cosby has always used his voice and his celebrity to highlight the commonalities and has portrayed the differences that are not negative — no matter the race, gender and religion of a person," his lawyer Brian McMonagle told reporters outside the courthouse. "Yet over the last 14 months, Mr. Cosby and those who have supported him have been ignored while lawyers like Gloria Allred hold press conferences to accuse him of crimes for unwitnessed events that allegedly occurred almost a half-century earlier.

"The time has come to shine a spotlight on the trampling of Mr. Cosby's civil rights. Gloria Allred apparently loves the media spotlight more than she cares about justice. She calls herself a civil rights attorney, but her campaign against Mr. Cosby builds on racial bias and prejudice that can pollute the court of public opinion. And when the media repeats her accusations — with no evidence, no trial and no jury — we are moved backwards as a country and away from the America that our civil rights leaders sacrificed so much to create."


Comment: If this is the best his lawyers can do at this point, they either have too much time on their hands or they haven't got much of a case.

Armed robbery suspect shot dead on live TV after police car chase (GRAPHIC VIDEO)

An armed robbery in Phoenix, Arizona has ended with police fatally shooting a suspect on live television.

In the aftermath of a raid on a Credit Union West branch on Tuesday, a number of local TV stations, including NBC 12 News and Fox 10 Phoenix, were broadcasting dramatic live footage of the chase when the disturbing events unfolded.

Video of the moment police used deadly force has now emerged online. It shows officers in three unmarked SUVs carrying out what is known as a 'PIT maneuver' - or precision immobilization technique - to ensnare the getaway vehicle.

Unmarked police vehicles surround and block the suspect's truck before two armed officers then appear to fire at least four rounds into the black Chevy's windows.

According to the Phoenix Police Department, the incident was sparked by a theft in the Avondale area during which suspects shot at law enforcement.

"Avondale police initiated a pursuit as that vehicle fled from them," said Sgt Jonathan Howard, of the Phoenix Police Department, reports AZ Central.

Comment: As usual, there was no attempt by law enforcement officers to secure the suspect alive. The police are judge, jury and executioner. The problem is endemic in American police forces.

Malaysia bound AirAsia flight ends up in Melbourne due to multiple pilot errors

Air Asia
A flight to Malaysia from Sydney accidentally flew to Melbourne instead because its pilot entered the wrong coordinates, an Australian aviation investigation report has found.

Carrying 212 passengers, the AirAsia flight bound for Kuala Lumpur on March 10, 2015, was incorrectly guided to Melbourne after the pilot manually entered the wrong coordinates into the flight's onboard navigation systems.

It was the first of several errors the flight crew made that day, according to the report (PDF) the Australian Transport Safety Bureau published Wednesday.

Faulty earmuffs prompted the captain and the first officer to swap their preflight duties. The captain usually conducts an external inspection, while the first officer remains in the cockpit to complete preparation procedures.

Violent animal in form of cop gets job back after paralyzing innocent grandpa by slamming his head into the ground

Sureshbhai Patel
This is America.
Although the governor of Alabama formally apologized to the Indian government last year and promised that justice would be served, Madison police officer Eric Parker, the cop who left an innocent elderly grandfather paralyzed, not only escaped justice — but is now back on the job.

In what can only be described as the epitome of everything wrong with police in America today, this brutal monster, who attacked and left severely disabled, an innocent old man out for a walk, will have his badge reinstated, his gun given back, and put out on the streets to strike again.

In a statement Tuesday morning, by Major Jim Cooke, the acting Madison police chief, it was announced that Parker will return to work following a long-term paid vacation.

"Officer Eric Parker will return from administrative leave today and will be assigned to the MPD Training Unit until he completes his required re-certifications. After his training is complete, he will receive his duty assignment," reads the statement.

Comment: What can we say? American justice at its best.

Thanks to US hegemony, 1 out of every 200 children are now refugees

Nearly 50 million children have been uprooted from their homes around the world, and 28 million of those are refugees fleeing violence and conflict—and "that is a conservative estimate," according to a UNICEF report published Tuesday.

The total number of child refugees doubled between 2005 and 2015, the report says, and children now comprise half of all refugees despite accounting for less than a third of the global population.

The report, "Uprooted: The Growing Crisis for Refugee and Migrant Children," (pdf) presents "for the first time, comprehensive, global data about these children," UNICEF writes.

A stunning 100,000 child refugees are traveling without their parents or families.

Comment: Child refugees face beatings, rapes and death and this is if they can even be accounted for. They wouldn't be forced into these positions if the warmongering US and their western allies weren't hellbent on world domination.
EU refugee crisis is absolutely expected, says Putin: a result of Western policies in the Middle East

Gynnya McMillen gasped for air amid a seizure as a juvenile jail staffer watched and did nothing, and for the next 10 hours, staffers ignored her dead body in a "systemic breakdown" of duty, according to an state investigation revealed in a new lawsuit.

Arrested for dubious reasons and taken to a Kentucky juvenile detention center more than an hour from her home, McMillen, 16, was left to die on January 10 as several staff members at Lincoln Village Regional Juvenile Detention Center failed to perform basic duties to ensure the unresponsive teenager was safe, a federal lawsuit filed by her family on August 31 against the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice and Lincoln Village employees has alleged.
