Be afraid, ISIS is coming! Philadelphia cop ambushed, shot 'in the name of Islam'

Philly cop shot
Authorities say a Philadelphia police officer is recovering after he was shot several times during an ambush late Thursday night in West Philadelphia.

Philadelphia police commissioner Richard Ross says the officer, identified as 33-year-old Jesse Hartnett, was sitting in his patrol car around 11:30 p.m. at 60th and Spruce Streets when a gunman fired nearly a dozen shots through the driver's side of the car.

"Shots fired! I'm shot! I'm bleeding heavily!" Officer Hartnett was heard yelling on police radio. Police are calling it an "attempted assassination." During a press conference, Commissioner Ross said the gun used in the attack was a stolen police firearm. "It was stolen back in October of 2013. It was reported, and that is one of the things you regret the most when an officer's gun is stolen, when it is used against one of your own."

Commissioner Ross says the suspect has given a full confession, saying he did it in the name of Islam. "According to him, police bend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran." Sources say the suspect's full confession of the alleged attack was written down and recorded on video. Police identify the suspect as 30-year-old Edward Archer, of Yeadon.

"When you look at the video, this is one of the scariest things I've ever seen," Commissioner Ross said. "This guy tried to execute the police officer. The police officer had no idea he was coming. It's amazing he's alive." "We're thankful to God he's here today because it easily could've been a police funeral."

Around 30 people including children have been treated after being hit with pepper spray at a refugee welcome event in Canada Friday.

The incident occurred as a group of newly arrived refugees and locals were waiting for a bus outside the Muslim Association of Canada Center in Vancouver.

Comment: Maybe if Canada stopped supporting imperialism and hegemony there'd be no need to take in refugees? What a concept.

In 2015, a record number of cops were charged with murder or manslaughter - Not a single officer has been convicted

police violence
Although the number of cops charged with murder or manslaughter sharply spiked last year, not a single officer was convicted for these unjustified deaths. With less cops killed in the line of duty in 2015, the number of people killed by police increased yet again.

The accumulated number of people killed by police in the U.S. last year remains between 986 and 1,200, with The Guardian currently totaling 1,138 victims. Although many disagree on the exact number of fatalities caused by cops, most concur that 2015 saw an escalation in both the total of people killed by police and the number of officers charged with murder or manslaughter.

Within the last decade, an average of five cops per year have been charged with murder or manslaughter in fatal on-duty shootings. Last year, that number more than tripled as 18 cops were arrested for unjustified shootings. This number does not comprise non-shooting homicides, including the six Baltimore officers charged with fatally severing Freddie Gray's spine. Nor does it include the cops who will not face criminal charges for the deaths of Tamir Rice, Zachary Hammond, Natasha McKenna, Troy Goode, or Antonio Zambrano-Montes.

On December 3, Pike County Deputy Joel Jenkins was arrested after fatally shooting his neighbor in the head while drunk and off-duty. Charged with involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, and tampering with evidence in connection with his neighbor's death, Jenkins was also charged with felony murder and reckless homicide in a separate shooting. On March 28, 2015, Jenkins was on-duty when he shot Robert Rooker to death following a police pursuit after Rooker had already crashed his vehicle.

The FBI has hacked the dark web, infiltrating "the largest remaining known child pornography service in the world".

The 'unprecedented' sting op saw 1,300 people arrested.

The site, known as 'Playpen', launched in August 2014 and allowed users to sign up and upload images, primarily for "the advertisement and distribution of child pronagraphy".

Within a month of Playpen's launch, the website had garnered nearly 60,000 members. By 2015 that number had jumped to almost 215,000, with 11,000 unique users visiting the site each week, and a total of 117,000 posts.

Many of those posts contained some of the most extreme child abuse images one could imagine, according to FBI testimony seen by Motherboard.

Comment: There are far too many psychopaths breathing our air.

Internal charges laid against NYPD sergeant in connection to Eric Garner chokehold death

As part of the ongoing internal investigation into the death of Staten Island's Eric Garner at the hands of police, a New York Police Department sergeant has been stripped of her gun and badge.

Sergeant Kizzy Adonis of the 120th Precinct was charged with "failure to supervise" because of her role in overseeing the police action that led to Garner's death by chokehold in July 2014, officials said.

"Probationary Sergeant Kizzy Adonis of the 120th Precinct was served with disciplinary charges today in connection with the NYPD internal review of the July 17, 2014 incident on Staten Island involving Eric Garner," a Friday statement from the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner of Public Information said. It added that she's been placed on "modified assignment status" until the internal case is completed.

The NYPD provided no further details on the case against her. Police consulted the US attorney's office in Brooklyn, which in turn is conducting its own probe to determine whether Garner had his civil rights violated.

Comment: Justice may be slow in coming, if at all. The enforcers of the control system have no conscience.

Book Review: The Worst Interest of the Child: The Trafficking of Children and Parents Through U.S. Family Courts

The Worst Interest of the Child
© Burning Sage Publishing House
I've been writing about the abuses going on in adult guardianship proceedings now for over ten years. Details regarding the physical and financial abuse of seniors and disabled are nothing new to me. One might have thought I would have been prepared for The Worst Interests of the Child, by Keith Harmon Snow. But I was not.

"This book is about the organized crime of Family Courts in the United States," writes Snow in the preface to this book. Keith Harmon Snow is an award- winning journalist, photographer and writer who has worked in 45 countries. He worked as a journalist accredited with the United Nations Observer Mission in Congo (MONUC), as a human rights investigator for Genocide Watch, and as genocide investigator for the United Nations in Ethiopia.

In this compelling and disturbing book, Snow has launched an expose of Family Court in Connecticut, although his research and findings are echoed in courts across America. The victims in his study, like the victims of guardianship court, are vulnerable and cannot protect themselves. However, unlike the elderly victims of guardianship court, these young victims are just beginning their lives. The scars from the abuses that Family Court refuses to address, refuses to protect them from, will be carried throughout the rest of their lives. Through no fault of their own, through the unfortunate happenstance of being born the child of a predator, these children have received, as Snow so aptly states, a life sentence.

Snow writes:
The problem with Family Courts is that financial interests outweigh the judicial issues, and the entire legal system has been geared to support the financial plunder of clients. This is most evident by examination of the behavior of lawyers who take cases for both perpetrators of abuse and protective parents (not only, but usually, the mothers).
His investigation reveals a seamy web of professionals—lawyers, judges, guardian ad litems, psychiatrists and supervised visitation companies—whose back room connections well serve their own financial interests at the expense of an abused child's welfare. As Snow repeatedly demonstrates in multiple case histories, the protective parent's resources are drained by these professionals, as she seeks to do whatever is financially necessary to protect her child.

Comment: On top of trafficking and exploiting abused children and families for profit, it sounds like a pedophile ring in Connecticut is being exposed. Unfortunately for these mothers and children, the psychopathic legal system cannot help them. There is a large slimy web of pedophiles in powerful places who protect each other, hidden from the public's view. It's much worse than you can imagine.

Environmental Protection Agency finally admitted that the world's most popular pesticide kills bees—20 years too late

Bees are dying in record numbers—and now the government admits that an extremely common pesticide is at least partially to blame.

For more than a decade, the Environmental Protection Agency has been under pressure from environmentalists and beekeepers to reconsider its approval of a class of insecticides called neonicotinoids, based on a mounting body of research suggesting they harm bees and other pollinators at tiny doses. In a report released Wednesday, the EPA basically conceded the case.
