It is no accident that police have become more brutal – in appearance as well as action – since they became law enforcement.

The term itself is a brutal syllogism. The law exists and must be enforced because it isthe law. I am just doing my job, only following (lawful) orders…

Law enforcement countenances anything, provided the law says so. It is what has made it possible for law enforcers to seize people’s property without charge or due process of any sort – because the law (civil asset forfeiture) gives them the power to do it. Some do it perfunctorily – the banality of evil Hannah Arendt wrote about. Others do it zealously – this includes the rabid little man who is the chief law enforcement officer of the state, Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Read the rest of this entry »

Boston Marathon Disaster-Take Nothing You Hear at Face Value

Posted by M. C. on April 30, 2013

The marathon bombing film footage and photos posted on the web make it plain that the marathon was loaded with security and probably bomb sniffing dogs. Either:

The effort was proactive or

there was some hint of a plan or

this was another sting operation gone bad.

Either way, there was a massive failure.

The first and foremost task of the “authorities” will be to deflect blame. Hence the recent comments regarding the lack of taggants in the fireworks powder as opposed to why this was permitted to occur in the first place. It must be embarrassing for the mighty para-military security forces to have been trumped by dime store surveillance cameras and a retired person checking his boat.  The FBI had one of the perpetrators in their grasp and let him slip through.  It may have been legitimate to drop surveillance of Tamerlane at the time, but it looks bad.  To have a government agency, especially the FBI, look bad is the original unforgivable sin.

We won’t get any more information than is deemed necessary. The main stream media will be governments’ useful idiot.  No change there.

The internet will be the only place where the truth will out. The perfect venue for the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) …to protect us from too many facts.

Don’t accept spoon-fed tripe. We will have to reach far for the truth. It won’t come easily.

Be seeing you.
