When video emerged showing Deputy Ben Fields of Richland County, South Carolina assaulting a 16-year-old female high school student, Sean Hannity of Fox News turned to that network's in-house expert on police conduct to explain why the deputy's actions were "justified." As expected, Mark Fuhrman, a disgraced ex-LAPD homicide detective, convicted perjurer, and documented bigot, conferred his benediction on Fields.

"I'll tell you why it's not excessive," Fuhrman told Hannity, who is always eager to exonerate abusive police officers. "He [Fields] verbalized, he made contact, he verbalized, he was polite. He requested her. He verbally did that."

When the emotionally troubled - and recently orphaned - teenage girl remained sullenly uncooperative, the "next level is he put a hand on her," Fuhrman interpreted. "She escalated it from there" - which means that she tried to pull away from the armlock that had been applied to her by an apparently steroid-enhanced, armored, gun-toting male stranger twice her size. "He used soft control. He threw her to the ground, he handcuffed her" - and in doing so inflicted injuries that required hospitalization.

For all that the girl endured as summary punishment for being uncooperative in class, she should be abjectly grateful that Fields was restrained, according to Fuhrman: "He didn't use mace. He didn't use a Taser. He didn't use a stick. He didn't kick her. He didn't hit her. He didn't choke her. He used a minimal amount of force necessary to effect an arrest."

The UN wants everyone on the planet to have a biometric ID card by 2030

agenda 2030
Did you know that the United Nations intends to have biometric identification cards in the hands of every single man, woman and child on the entire planet by the year 2030? And did you know that a central database in Geneva, Switzerland will be collecting data from many of these cards?

Previously, I have written about the 17 new "Global Goals" that the UN launched at the end of September. Even after writing several articles about these new Global Goals, I still don't think that most of my readers really grasp how insidious they actually are. This new agenda truly is a template for a "New World Order", and if you dig into the sub-points for these new Global Goals you find some very alarming things.

For example, Goal 16.9 sets the following target...

Up to 100,000 people in Gaza will be forced to spend the winter in tents, shacks and animal shelters

A spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees said this week that close to 100,000 people in Gaza will be spending this winter in tents, animal shelters, and shacks that will not do much at all to keep them out of the elements.

According to the spokesman, some children froze to death in Gaza last year due to inadequate living conditions.

"As the winter approaches, one shudders how these people are going to survive," the UNRWA spokesman, Christopher Gunness, said in an interview with Reuters last week.

"What these people need is proper homes," he added.

Comment: And Israel, along with its western supporters -- most notably the US and UK -- would have it no other way.

Biometrics and cashless society: The extinction of privacy and personal security

© science photo libraryPolice forces in England and Wales have uploaded up to 18 million "mugshots" to a facial recognition database - despite a court ruling it could be unlawful.
  • Mugshot uploads of 18 million innocent people ruled unlawful
  • Facebook: Algorithm identifies people without imaged faces 83 percent of the time
  • Corrupt officers or hackers have means to switch images of the guilty to the innocent
  • UK Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency sells personal data
  • Apple Pay allows for bank hacks, misdirected funds; Cameron: outlaw encryption
In a survey of 1,000 UK shoppers by the retail personalisation company RichRelevance, respondents were asked to rate a suite of in-store shopping technologies as either "cool" or "creepy", and facial recognition fell decidedly on the creepy end of the scale. In this survey it was found that companies will soon be using a range of technical tools to achieve sales via personalised product recommendations and promotions, screens displaying their products, possibly utilising an image of you and even getting assistants to bring products, say clothes, and automatically unlock dressing room doors.

Of course, the only way they can do this is by using facial recognition systems. As soon as you walk in store, your mobile gives you away. This provides the retailer with sufficient information to identify your age and gender, whether you are are a high value customer and your spending habits. All of this was found to be very 'creepy' by respondents.

There are no laws or guidelines limiting their use and as soon as it gets into the wrong hands problems occur. One would not normally think that our own security services would be a threat to innocent civilians going about their lawful business. Police forces in England and Wales have uploaded up to 18 million "mugshots" to a facial recognition database - despite a court ruling to be unlawful. They include photos of people never charged, or others cleared of an offence, and were uploaded without Home Office approval.

Photos of "hundreds of thousands" of innocent people may be on the database, an independent commissioner said. Biometrics Commissioner Alastair MacGregor QC said he was concerned about the implications of the system for privacy and civil liberties. Speaking in his first interview, he told Newsnight that police forces had begun setting up a searchable database of mugshots last year, without telling either him or the Home Office. Almost every police force in England and Wales had now supplied photographs, he said.

Facial recognition systems are already used by Britain's spy agencies and by the Border Force at UK airports and ports. The FBI now has a database that covers one third of the the American adult population, so does Britain's police and security services.

Comment: Gee thanks, Gov! We are now living in a Sci-Fi horror movie with real and menacing implications. As the article stated: "the digital surveillance genie is out of the bottle, and many privacy campaigners have little faith that regulators will ever be able to stuff it back in." We, as individuals, have been sold and sold out, and it is reaching global proportions. Do you have a plan to navigate this insanity, or will you just stand there and smile for the camera?

FSA cages Alawite citizens as human shields, West blames Putin

The phantom Free Syrian Army is taking the word 'disgusting' to a whole new level here. Obama's 'moderates' thought it would be a great idea to imprison Alawite citizens on rooftops, using them as human shields against the Russian Airforce. We know that this is true because the FSA are declaring the opposite.


Comment: That's right. We don't condone it, BUT... In other words, they do condone it. In the minds of these moderate lunatics, it makes perfect sense to cage innocent civilians in order to stop fictional 'mutilations' on the part of Syria and Russia. Russia and Syria aren't mutilating people: the FSA, ISIS and Nusra have that covered.

Over 2,600 Palestinians shot by Israeli forces during October

At least 2,617 Palestinians have been shot and injured by Israeli forces using live and rubber bullets in the month of October, a Red Crescent officials says. On Sunday, the Palestinian news agency Ma'an released a report quoting a Red Crescent spokesperson as saying that at least 760 Palestinians were shot with live rounds across the occupied Palestinian territory, while another 1,857 were hit with rubber-coated steel bullets.

At least 5,645 Palestinians sustained injuries, including burns from tear gas canisters and excessive tear gas inhalation. At least 72 Palestinians were also killed in Palestinian territories by Israeli soldiers in October. Tensions have been running high over the past several weeks between the Israeli regime and Palestinians in the occupied territories. The latest wave of tensions was triggered by Israel's imposition in August of restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

More cracks in the Union: Scottish Labour votes against Trident system renewal - 'utterly useless'

Scottish Labour party delegates have voted in favor of abandoning the renewal of the UK's Trident nuclear weapons system at the annual party conference in Perth making it an official policy of the party's section in Scotland.

At the conference, about 70 percent of the delegates voted to scrap the Trident system with both rank and file party members and most trade unions affiliated with the party supporting this move.

The delegates adopted a motion opposing Trident renewal and describing nuclear weapons as "a mortal threat to humanity's survival" and "massively expensive" as well as stressing that if the Trident program was renewed it could potentially provoke nuclear proliferation, British media reported. The motion also emphasizes that the Trident program should only be scrapped on the condition that new engineering and hi-tech jobs for the defense workers could be created as they could be made unemployed because of this decision.

This result puts the Scottish section of the party at loggerheads with the party leaders in Westminster that consistently back the renewal of the UK's nuclear weapons program.

At the same time, this result could possibly boost Labour leader Jeremy Corbin's efforts to force his party to abandon its support for the British nuclear deterrent system. The motion closely resembles Corbyn's stance on the nuclear weapons issue and is regarded as an endorsement of his idea for the UK's unilateral disarmament.

"Scottish Labour Party members have spoken. That will now feed into the wider UK Labor debate and review of defense policy," a Corbyn's spokesman said at the conference after the vote, as quoted by the BBC.

'No infrastructure for so many people': German village of 102 is ordered to house... 750 refugees

A small German village containing just 102 residents and with almost no infrastructure will have to accommodate as many as 750 asylum seekers after a decision by the regional authorities. Villagers fear the area will be unable to cope with the burden.

The first group of refugees amounting to 500 people will arrive in Sumte - a small village in the German state of Lower Saxony - as early as Monday. The one-street settlement with no shops, no school and even no police station fears that its accommodation capabilities will be pushed to the limit.

Initially, the regional authorities wanted the village to house 1,000 refugees, which they informed the settlement mayor of via e-mail in early October. At that time, this news was perceived by the villagers as a hoax.

Christian Fabel, the village's mayor, and his wife thought "it was a joke," which "certainly could not be true," as they could not believe that the settlement would be ordered to house a number of asylum seekers that exceeded 10 times the number of its villagers, the New York Times reported. However, they soon realized that it was not a joke and that it was impossible to block this decision when Alexander Gotz, a spokesman of the Lower Saxony Interior Ministry, responsible for the distribution of refugees, told Fabel that the village had "two options - yes, or yes."

Later, after the villagers protested this decision at several meetings with regional authorities citing security concerns and a lack of necessary infrastructure, the number of refugees the settlement should house was decreased from 1,000 to a maximum of 750 people.

"The burden of 1,000 refugees for one village with only 102 residents is absolutely disproportionate - it cannot be compared with any other place in Germany," the village's mayor Christian Fabel said at the first meeting with the regional authorities devoted to this issue.

Comment: The mass migration of refugees can be made to serve several purposes at the same time. Initially it deprives a country of the support its citizens can give it. Syria has lost nearly half its population as they flee the ISIS terrorists. The general chaos of large numbers of people on the move, it's easy for nefarious elements to slip into new countries. Germany is the stated goal of the majority of the refugees, even though there are other countries where a new life could be made. Is a message being sent to a vassal that they can be overwhelmed with problems at home if they don't stay in line?

Pedophiles and rapists: Investigation reveals about 1,000 cops lost badges for being sexual predators

Around 1,000 policemen across the US had their licenses revoked and lost their jobs over the last six years on account of numerous sexual offenses that included rape and possession of child pornography, an AP investigation based on official data revealed.


Comment: That's about one officer having his license revoked every other day.


The probe involved examining records from 41 states to see how many police officers' licenses were revoked in 2009-2014 and for which offenses. Police desertification data was not provided by nine states and the District of Columbia. The investigation included examining the records of state and local police, sheriff's deputies, prison guards and school resource officers. However no federal officers were included in the investigation.

Comment: These officers have demonstrated themselves to be dangerous predators that should be locked away to keep other people safe--getting transferred to another department or losing their jobs isn't enough. And these are only the cases that we know about: how many times has this happened in the other states that weren't included in the survey, or that weren't documented or reported at all? The numbers are likely to be much, much higher.

With law enforcement officers like this, who needs criminals?

Innocent 77-year-old blind man beaten and arrested wins $400,000 in police brutality case against Denver police

Philip White was travelling back home from a conference on technical advancements to assist the blind on May 22, 2012, when he missed his bus in Denver. White, who was 77-years-old at the time, and blind, called the police after the bus station security guard told him he had to leave the station. This call would prove to be detrimental.

White was told that the bus was full and he couldn't get on board. He only wanted to discuss options with staffers at the terminal, but he eventually was told by a security guard that he was "trespassing" and he'd have to leave the terminal, according to court documents.

"Philip White missed his bus to the mountains, when he asked Greyhound staff for help in catching the next bus home, he was told by a security guard he was trespassing and had to leave the Greyhound Bus Depot," said White's attorney Mari Newman. "This is a Master's Degree holder and long-time educator who was set upon with excessive force as police violated his civil rights, all over a bus ticket."

After being told to leave, White declined and then called the police. Officer Kyllion Chafin of the notoriously brutal Denver police department showed up. Chafin did not care that White was the person who had placed the call to police and instead of helping the man in need, he escalated the situation to violence. Chafin quickly attacked White. White, having no idea if his aggressors were actually who they said they were, asked to feel Chafin's badge to confirm he was an officer. "He told me 'You aren't touching me,'" said White.

Comment: That poor man! This is what Denver is doing with its tax dollars. Paying for the brutal assault by police of an elderly blind man who needed help. How insane is that? Don't call the police for any reason, ever!
