Gary McKinnon wins extradition battle
Gary McKinnon, indicted in 2002
on charges of hacking into U.S. government computers, will not be
extradited to the U.S., the U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May said on
Tuesday.
The risk to McKinnon’s health posed by extradition to the U.S. was simply too great, according to May.McKinnon has fought a decade-long battle in the U.K. courts to avoid extradition to the U.S., seeking instead to face trial in the U.K. He has Asperger’s syndrome and is at high risk for suicide, according to a statement issued Monday by his attorney Karen Todner.
“After careful
consideration of all of the relevant material, I have concluded that
Mr. McKinnon’s extradition would give rise to such a high risk of him
ending his life that a decision to extradite would be incompatible with
Mr. McKinnon’s human rights,” said May.
It will now be for the director of Public
Prosecutions to decide whether McKinnon has a case to answer in a U.K.
Court, according to May.

Better Than That: Poem For Domestic Violence Awareness
This is something I wrote a few years ago after the abuse I went through in my previous marriage. I know it only last 9 months and I've had people tell me that I don't know what pain is because my marriage was only 9 months but let me tell you, it doesn't matter if abuse goes on for 9 days, 9 months, or 9 years even, the effects and the scars left behind last a lifetime. Those are memories that you can't just erase. Unlike my mother, I walked away and left. When I was growing up, I saw the agony, misery, and pain my father put my mother through over and over again, making her feel she wasn't good enough, cutting her down and breaking her spirit with the abuse he put her through. Unfortunately she never left and often I was the one who tried to intervene and step in to try to protect her. I was just a kid but I still remember those days of hearing my mother crying in the bathroom or the bedroom, locking herself away, and becoming a shadow of the strong woman she once was. Her own family knew about the abuse going on which I found out when I was 17 and had moved in with my aunt that the abuse my father put my mother through started as far back when she was pregnant with me. In fact, my father once told me that he literally threw my mother out of the house and off the porch after getting into a fight with her when she was pregnant with me. I never truly understand what my mom went through until I found myself in that situation in my own marriage. I wanted to believe things would change, I wanted to believe I could save the marriage but things only got worse and I blamed myself for him taking his anger out on me, thinking I did something to deserve it. I remember the nights I'd walk out of the house, how I never told anyone what was going on, and just kept silent. Then in my last relationship when I got raped, I found myself a victim all over again, replaying that same story I had been through and the same thing I grew up around. But now nearly 6 years after my marriage ended and nearly 2 years after being raped, I'm finding the strength to take back my life and not to let any guy treat me that way ever again. You see, it's easy for us to make excuses for their behavior because we want the guy to change and sometimes we think we can change the guy but unfortunately that's just not the case. Don't stay in an abusive relationship or marriage because you deserve so much better. It's not worth losing your life for someone who doesn't care about you, who can't and doesn't love you or respect you the way they should. You're someone beautiful and special, someone to be cherished and treasured, someone to be protected and made to feel safe in a loving relationship or marriage. Don't ever think that you have to stay for fear of someone else not ever wanting you and for fear of ending up alone in life and never finding love again. For awhile, after the things I went through, I thought I wasn't good enough for anyone. I thought that I was just "sloppy seconds". It was my best friend that I opened up to about what happened in my last relationship and struggling with thoughts of not being good enough for any guy and he said the sweetest thing ever, he told me I was better then good enough. So I'm telling you girls and women the same thing my best friend told me. You are better then good enough and don't let anyone make you feel less then that or tell you any differently. Yes, I'm single and not dating right now but it's because I'm waiting for true love to find me and you know what, I know the wait is worth it. If a guy cheats on you, if he emotionally abuses you, if he physically abuses you, don't put up with it! You don't have to put up with that and you shouldn't have to because to me that's not love or respect. Have enough respect for yourself that you put yourself first and you walk away for your own safety. The day I found my freedom is the day I broke my silence and decided I had enough, that I was not going to put up with being treated that way. Domestic violence is a serious thing. People don't know what goes on behind closed doors and I know that it's not always the easiest thing to walk away but just know there's always help out there, that you are never alone in this. I only wish my mother would have known that and that she would have had the courage and strength to walk away instead of being afraid of getting out there and raising two kids on her own without any help. Always remember, you deserve so much more in your life. Better Than That by Jenna Kandyce Linch You pretend everything is all right Yet on your skin are bruises from another fight. The tears you hold back Still, each night, you fear an upcoming attack. His vicious words cut you to the core Becoming a stranger, he's not the same guy you knew before. Kisses and hugs by scars are replaced All signs of affection have been erased. In the comfort of your own home, for your life you have to fight Hiding among the shadows, you try to stay out of his sight. Every time he goes out you feel a little bit relieved Then too soon he returns and quickly shows he's peeved. Once again you become his scapegoat With you the guilt and shame you're forced to tote. When he leaves again, you break down Wondering why he removes your smile with a frown. You find yourself in a deadly game of cat and mouse Your opponent is none other than your spouse. He says he loves you but you know his words are lies Looking at him, you can see the truth hidden in his eyes. Hanging around, that things will change you want to believe Putting it all back together is what you hope to achieve. Deep down inside, though, you know it will never be the same The longer you stay, the more pain you'll endure as you take the blame. Trust me when I say that I've been there before Straight down the middle my self esteem tore. Walking on eggshells, the next attack I never knew when to expect He'd interrogate me and point out every defect. Nothing got better but only worse as time went on Finally I felt that I, too, was almost completely gone. Attempting to pick myself up, under his abuse again I shattered Thus the cycle repeated as I continued to get battered. Until I made the decision to leave, my wounds could not heal Because each time I took him back, new pain I would feel. Saving my own life, I broke free The promise I made to myself was never again would I pay that fee. Do not put yourself in danger for fear of being alone Help is out there so you don't have to face it on your own. Abuse is not love For real love doesn't hit, hurt, or shove. Never sacrifice your life for someone who doesn't care about you Hell and nightmares are not worth going through. Live a life where you're shown respect Not one in which you always hear that you are imperfect. If he can't love you the way he should, walk away Your life you'll risk by continuing to stay. Think about your safety for it comes first Don't stick around to see things reach their worst. You are someone very beautiful Who should know what it is like to feel special. You truly are worth so much more Break free, refusing to return to that life of before. The choice may not come easy to make Freedom can only be obtained when that first step you take. You shouldn't have to be trapped in silence, surrounded by sorrow For you deserve better than living in fear, not knowing if you'll see tomorrow. 'Better Than That'

Demand DNA testing for Johnnie Lee Savory
The purpose of this petition is to collect one signature for every day Johnnie was wrongfully incarcerated.
After we collect these signatures, we will take this petition to Illinois Governor Patrick Quinn and request that he order DNA testing in Johnnie's case, which will be paid for by the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law.
More about Johnnie:
In 1977, when Johnnie was 14 years old, he was convicted of killing his friend and his friend's sister in their hometown of Peoria, IL. In December 2006, Johnnie was paroled with the help of the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law.
When Johnnie was convicted, DNA testing did not exist. If it did, physical evidence found at the crime scene would have been tested for DNA as a matter of course.
Nevertheless, the prosecutor overseeing Johnnie's case has refused to order this testing, despite the fact that Johnnie has offered to pay for it himself, and that if Johnnie is guilty the testing should identify him as the murderer.
The governor of Illinois has the power to override this prosecutor's decision and order DNA testing.
Please sign our petition, forward it to your friends and family, and help ensure justice in the case of Johnnie Lee Savory.

Frederick Douglas
once said "Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress"

I met Matthew on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Matthew was not having a good day. He told me he has bronchitis. Homelessness is bad enough without being sick.
Matthew has been on the streets since he was 15. Matthew says that even at that young age of 15 he felt his mother was so strapped for money he'd have a better life if he left home.
Matthew says it's been his choice since he was 15 to live on the streets. I find it interesting that Matthew mentions Vietnam war veterans are homeless not by choice, but does not want to see that his young childhood didn't leave him with much of a choice.

BlackMediaNewsReport
BlackMediaNewsReport - We finally have obtained hospital photos of the Atlanta baseball coach who was charged in the 2009 rape of a 9 year old boy. The coach visited the home of the child to encourage him to join the local team. The child refused to join. When the coach left, the child repeatedly told his mother how he did not feel comfortable with the man. Two weeks later, the coach returned to the house with food, balloons, and a PlayStation. The child was very excited. Minutes later he joined the team. Four days afterward, the coach came back to the home. He asked the mother if he could give the child private lessons on catching the ball. She agreed. On June 18th, 2009 Atlanta Court documents indicate that the mother heard her son sobbing. She ran into his bedroom and saw the baseball coach having anal sex with the 9 year old. The mother then ran to the kitchen and grabbed a large "turkey carving" knife, and assaulted the coach. The question we ask our readers is: " She should have called the police instead of attempting to murder the suspect? '' The police have charged the mother with attempted murder. If convicted she will serve no less than 15 years in state prison under Georgia state laws.

Jazz will stay free
reports on a victory in the struggle to defend Joseph "Jazz" Hayden.
October 18, 2012
Jazz Hayden (second from right) and his supporters celebrate outside the courthouse (AllThingsHarlem.com)
THE MOVEMENTS against racism and the criminal injustice system in New
York City and around the country won an important victory: Jazz Hayden
will remain free. The prosecutors have admitted they can't win a
conviction on the trumped-up charges made against him, and he has been
offered an agreement that will end the threat he faced of years behind
bars.
On October 11, almost 40 people were sitting in a Manhattan courtroom
for Jazz's latest court date. When his name was called, they all
stood--something the Campaign to Keep Jazz Free has done for more than
10 months as we pressured Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. to
drop the charges against Jazz, a 71-year-old Harlem activist involved
in the struggle against stop-and-frisk and a founding member of the Campaign to End the New Jim Crow.
"When the guy was bringing me out of the courtroom," Jazz said
outside the courthouse, "he said, 'Man, you got a lot of people out
there.' I said, 'Yeah, that's love...I want to thank everybody, man,
I've never had this much love and support in my life, and it inspires
me."
Jazz described the outcome of the case:
I want everyone to know we have a true victory...To get them to admit what they admitted in that courtroom was major...And we have to realize that this is 10 months later--almost a year that they held this over my head. They knew from the beginning that this was bogus.
Jazz was clear about why prosecutors finally relented. "Once again,
the pressure that was applied made them reach this conclusion," he said.
Jazz's legal team agreed. Sarah Kunstler, one of Jazz's lawyers, said,
"All the advocacy that everyone has done outside the courtroom for Jazz
makes a difference."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
IN DECEMBER of last year, Jazz was pulled over by two officers of the
New York Police Department. While they still claim his car had a broken
taillight, they wrote no ticket.
According to Jazz, the police said, "We know you," and illegally
searched his car. He was charged with two counts of felony possession of
a weapon--for having a broken penknife and a miniature Yankees souvenir
baseball bat that Jazz's wife had gotten from her father.
And for that, the NYPD held Jazz in jail for two days and wanted bail
set at $16,000. The charges they imposed on Jazz could have landed him
in prison for up to 14 years.
In reality, the police were looking for revenge against Jazz because of his activism--he has continually videotaped stop-and-frisks and other police abuses and broadcast them on his website. The very same officers who stopped him in December had been caught on videotape only a few months before as they illegally searched the car of two young Black men.
In the end, the punishment against Jazz was whittled down to almost
nothing: five days of community service and a $120 surcharge--with his
record to be cleared in six months with no further violations. The fact
that Jazz's punishment is community service when he was arrested for
performing a community service apparently did not strike the DA as
ironic.
Jose LaSalle of Stop Stop & Frisk talked about how Jazz's
activism inspires so many others: "There are a lot of brothers and
sisters out there who follow behind Jazz, and have been out there doing
Copwatch and making sure they document stuff."
Dozens of organizers and community members came together over the
past 10 months to build up a campaign of protests and online organizing.
Thousands of people signed a petition for Jazz, and hundreds called the
DA's office on multiple call-in days--on the first call-in day, the
office had to assign someone to take calls for the entire day.
In addition, there were rallies throughout the nearly year-long battle, growing to 100 people at the courthouse
, the DA's office and the 32nd Precinct. Organizers built enough pressure and awareness that even mainstream media outlets such as the New York Times had to report on Jazz's battle.
Jazz, his legal team of Sarah Kunstler and Gideon Oliver, and the
other organizers of the campaign shared a clear vision that Sarah
expressed earlier this year, "This is the way the system derails
movements--by putting people on trial to distract from the work that
we're doing. So we have to spin this on its head, and make these
prosecutions part of the work we're all doing."
Building speak-outs at the 32nd Precinct was one important example of
this strategy. The protests at the courts were also important to put
pressure on the DA and the judges, but rallying in Harlem--on the
doorstep of the precinct with the third-highest rate of use of force in the city--attracted
new people to the struggle, built awareness around Jazz's case and his
activism, and showed that there is power in numbers and unity.
This made clear the campaign's message: Jazz's arrest and prosecution
is part and parcel of the assault on communities of color by the NYPD
and the wider legal system--and thus the fight for Jazz is part and
parcel of the fight against stop-and-frisk, racism in the courts, and
the whole criminal justice system.
More than a dozen organizations came together to collaborate in the
campaign, involving veteran activists and people new to protest alike.
Building these connections will make collaboration easier and more
effective in the battles ahead.
The victory itself comes at a critical time, with police killings
taking place at almost twice the rate of last year, but the department
also coming under increasing criticism for stop-and-frisk policies and
facing a wider movement of families fighting for justice for their loved
ones.
"One thing is for sure," Jazz said outside the courthouse. "The work
is not going to stop. I'll be out there today with my camera. I have it
right here on my back," as he gestured to his backpack. He continued:
So nothing's going to change in that respect. But building the movement and next steps is what's important. This is what we have to get together on, because this stop-and-frisk is just the tip of the iceberg--just a very small part of the bigger struggle that we all have to engage in.I think our most immediate and pressing need, a prerequisite to building a movement, is waking people up, because...they're feeling the pain...[but] they don't see any solutions. They don't see themselves as collectively powerful enough to change things. And that's what we have to do. We have to expose the system--the way it operates and how it doesn't operate in their interest. And to do that, we have to reach them where they're at, living under a system that's totally against them, and let them know that they have the power to change things.

A Year Since Banishment to Gaza, a Palestinian Fighter Reflects
“I don’t seek out enemies” — A year since banishment to Gaza, a Palestinian fighter reflects
Joe Catron

http://electronicintifada.net/content/i-dont-seek-out-enemies-year-banishment-gaza-palestinian-fighter-reflects/11777
17 October 2012
“Why doesn’t the international community support the fighters of
Palestine?” Iyad Abu Khaizaran asked, sitting in his Gaza apartment.
Abu Khaizaran, 41, was one of 477 detainees freed on 18 October 2011
in the first phase of Hamas’s prisoner
exchange with Israel, and one of 205 banished by Israel from their
homes in the West Bank. Like 163 others, Abu Khaizaran, a native of Tubas, was
forcibly relocated to the Gaza Strip.
Hamas had reached the deal with Israel to free, in two phases, over
a thousand Palestinian prisoners in exchange for an Israeli soldier
they had captured in 2006.
A day before the exchange, two Palestinian human rights
organizations, Addameer
and Al-Haq,
said in a statement that the “terms violate Article 49 of the Fourth
Geneva Convention, which prohibits forcible transfers and
deportations of protected persons, a proscription that is part of
customary international humanitarian law.”
The organizations added: “Unlawful deportation or transfer also
constitutes a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention and
qualifies as one of the most serious war crimes” (“Between a rock and
a hard place: the fate of Palestinian political prisoners,” 17
October 2011).
However, Abu Khaizaran was less interested in discussing his own
banishment than the Palestinian struggle. “I had the right to fight
this occupation,” he said. “International law allowed me to do that.”
“I didn’t care about the length of my sentence, or how many years I
would spend inside Israeli jails,” he added. “Our struggle was just.
For this reason, I was never sad during my imprisonment.”
Isolated from family
But the conversation eventually turned to Abu Khaizaran’s detention.
A founder of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad
movement’s armed al-Quds Brigades in Tubas, he was captured by Israeli
soldiers on 3 October 1991 during a an operation against a military
checkpoint. This followed a previous 20-month detention.
“Before I was detained, I was shot and injured by eleven bullets,”
he said. “My condition was very critical.”
Sentenced to a lifetime plus 25 years, he was frequently isolated
from both his family and other detainees. “Once, I didn’t see my family
for four years,” he said. “Sometimes detainees’ families would spend
their whole day in the ‘journey of death,’ only to be turned away at
the gate. The guards did this only for revenge.” This is a reference to
the long, arduous journeys Palestinian family members often must make
to visit imprisoned relatives in Israel.
It was in an isolation cell at Ashkelon prison
that a visiting attorney told him of the mass hunger strike
launched on 27 September last year by Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine leader Ahmad Saadat,
then isolated in Shata prison himself. Abu Khaizaran joined it, never
expecting to be freed only days later in a prisoner exchange.
Victory
“My happiness after the exchange cannot be expressed,” he said. “It
was very high. The exchange was a victory for Palestinians. Israel
didn’t grant it easily.
“The international community never showed any concern for thousands
of Palestinian detainees until [captive Israeli soldier] Gilad Shalit
was captured. And that is a bad comparison. We cannot equate a soldier
who was captured while shooting at civilians with Palestinians
resisting the occupation of their lands. ”
As crowds gathered in the streets of Palestine on the evening of 11
October 2011 to celebrate news of the impending exchange, rumors
swirled it would include Saadat. But a 15 October official list showed
he would stay imprisoned (on the same day as the first stage of the
prisoner release, a deal was reached to end the hunger strike).
Nonetheless, Saadat’s wife Abla has expressed support for the
agreement.
In a message to The Electronic Intifada emailed via the Campaign to
Free Ahmad Sa’adat, Abla said the release was: “an achievement of the
Palestinian resistance and it should be clear that whenever prisoners
are freed, it is always a victory for the prisoners’ steadfastness and
the Palestinian resistance.”
“In the past year — since 18 October and in many ways sparked by the
September-October 2011 hunger strike — the struggle of Palestinian
prisoners within the Zionist jails has escalated dramatically. Our
prisoners have been leading our national movement, with empty stomachs
and full of steadfastness.
“Ahmad was finally released from isolation after over three years,
multiple hunger strikes and lengthy struggle because of the victory of
our prisoners in May of this year, and their united effort,” she added,
referring to a fast undertaken in April and May of this year, that has
become known as the Karameh (Dignity) hunger strike.
To end that strike, as well as the one led by Ahmad Saadat in 2011,
Israel promised to stop its isolation of Palestinian detainees (“Victory on the
way in hunger strike,” Campaign to Free Ahmad Saadat, 18 October
2011). On 14 May this year, it also agreed to release some Palestinians
held in administrative
detention (without charge or trial) and allow visits by
first-degree family members to all prisoners (“Statement
of victory from the strike leadership,” Samidoun, 16 May 2012).
Broken promises
These deals remain unfulfilled, Abla Saadat said. “The heroic
steadfastness of our prisoners confronts an enemy that continues to
isolate Palestinian prisoners like Dirar Abu Sisi
and Awad al-Saidi, continues to attack Palestinian prisoners in their
cells, and continues to kidnap Palestinians from their homes, including
the freed prisoners of 18 October 2011.”
Palestinians detained by Israel following their release in the
exchange include Ayman Sharawna
and Samer
Issawi, both of whom are still on hunger strikes against new
administrative detention orders. Sharawna has been depriving himself of
food for more than 100 days.
Suffering continues
After his release, Abu Khaizaran found himself among the more
isolated of those banished to the Gaza Strip. A longtime Islamic Jihad
member, he had left the organization and was politically independent by
2011. While he, like other freed detainees, received relocation and
financial assistance from the Palestinian administrations in Gaza and Ramallah,
political movements arranged other networking and social opportunities
for their own members.
“All of us are suffering,” he said. “But the independents are
suffering more.” His salary from the Ramallah-based Palestinian
Authority, he said, doesn’t even cover the taxes levied on his
family land in Tubas. “At least I am out of jail,” he added. “Although
I was expelled and miss my family, I am happy to be free. I look
forward to the day when all detainees are released.”
Abu Khaizaran has started a new life in internal exile. He has
married and is now awaiting the birth of his first child this month,
and studies and discusses a broad range of topics voraciously.
Like many freed detainees, he rarely misses weekly protests at
Gaza’s International
Committee of the Red Cross headquarters or other local events
supporting the prisoners’ movement. “I participate in all activities
concerning the issue of detainees,” he says. “When Mahmoud Sarsak
was hunger striking, I visited his family and presented them with a
trophy to show my solidarity. But these activities don’t do much to
solve the issue. Israel doesn’t believe in peaceful, political
struggle.”
Respect international law
One thing that can work, Abu Khaizaran believes, is international
pressure. “The world, and especially the Arab governments, must
pressure America and Europe,” he said. “Those within these countries
should do the same. These are the countries that can implement the
Geneva Conventions and other international laws in Palestine, and for
the benefit of Palestinian detainees. Israel has convinced many
countries to support its policies. It acts like it’s above
international law, and the international community allows it. But even
Israel cannot fabricate realities.”
And those realities, coupled with international support, can infuse
Palestinian resistance with strength, he said. “Israel cannot kill
three million people who come to pray inside al-Aqsa Mosque
[in Jerusalem] with flowers. If all the Arab people make a vow to God
to march through Egypt
and Jordan to
pray in al-Aqsa Mosque, Israel cannot stop them.
“I don’t oppose Israelis because of their religion. We want them to
have a place under the sun, as much as we are looking for one of our
own. But when Israel forces Palestinian out of their lands, how can we
live with them?
“My message to them is to stop the violence and fundamentalism
inside Israeli society. Israel is based on ethnic premises. They expel
Africans from Israel just because they are not Jews. And they have
treated us the same way.
“Of course Jews can stay in Palestine. We cannot chase them back out
— impossible! But an exclusive state in Palestine is unacceptable.
Palestinians have the right to return
to our lands, and we will.”
A year after Ahmad Saadat’s hunger strike, Israel continues to
refuse to allow three of his children to visit him (“Palestinian prisoners
in Israeli jails: the case of Ahmad Saadat,” Al Akbhar English,
9 September 2012).
“I cannot stress enough that families continue to be denied visits
with our imprisoned family members, and prisoners denied visitation and
education, with devastating impacts on the families of prisoners,” Abla
Saadat said. “One year later, it remains clear that only resistance
wins freedom for Palestinian prisoners and that the steadfastness,
struggle, courage and unity of our prisoners is a light and an
inspiration to the entire Palestinian nation and all people of
conscience.”
“As a human being, I don’t seek out enemies,” Abu Khaizaran said of
the struggle that brought him to Gaza. “When anyone is a human being,
he should treat you as a human. And the most important thing is that
the basis of our fight must be human.”

CCR Organizes to Share Stories of People Stopped by the NYPD
The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) has
been fighting against discriminatory policing practices — like stop and
frisk — in New York and beyond for many years. We’ve brought you data
documenting the skyrocketing numbers of stops and racial disparities.
This summer we brought you the stories behind the numbers, sharing the
experiences of those who have been stopped and frisked.
Now, CCR has launched new features on our website, Stop and Frisk: the Human Impact, including an interactive map that houses podcasts of people telling their stories about being stopped by the NYPD, and an infographic that illustrates the impact of stop and frisk on communities in New York. Visit the interactive map feature here and share the podcasts widely. You can also listen to all the podcasts here.
The new website features dovetail with increased media scrutiny of
stop and frisk and its impact, a landmark legislative package introduced
in the New York City Council and scheduled hearings on the issue this
month, and comes on the heels of a rally attended by nearly one thousand
people calling for NYPD accountability outside New York City Hall in
late September. Just today, CCR joined with fellow advocates, and
affected community members to testify at an important New York City Council Legislative Hearing for the Community Safety Act,
a landmark police reform legislative package. We will be sure to keep
you updated with developments in our struggle for social justice. Please
check out two hearings happening later in the New York City-area.• October 23 Field Hearing on stop and frisk in Brooklyn, New York

BLOOD IN MY EYE:
Since we are reflections of YAHWEH/ALLAH/GOD who once flooded the earth in his tears of wrath, for those who betrayed him, i believe those of us who are wronged has a right to feel like this: "HURL ME INTO THE NEXT EXISTANCE. THE DECENT INTO HELL WONT TURN ME. THEY WONT DEFEAT MY REVENGE, NO NEVER, NEVER. IM FROM A RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE WHO ANGERS SLOWLY, BUT RAGES UNDAMMED. WE WILL ASSEMBLE AT HIS DOOR IN SUCH NUMBERS, THAT THE THE MARCHING OF OUR FEET WILL MAKE THE EARTH TREMBLE!"-George L. Jackson ......I hope you know that our brother L.B. is still angery at those who lied on him, oppresses him, betrayed him....., dont get it twisted: Bently's Back to shake up the world and every hater in. MY TIME TO SHINE IS NEAR!

Mau Mau torture case victory: could this lead to more cases against Brit...
For years the British government had refused to render a full apology for atrocities committed under empire in countries like Kenya, Ghana, Senegal and other Africa countries.
This victory against the British government has now restored hope of finding out the truth and uncovering secrets that had been kept from the public domain.
It will also open up cases the British government argued was too old to open and also the extent of British brutality during the colonial era.
Three elderly Kenyans have won an historic legal victory over the British government after the high court gave them permission to claim damages for the grave abuses they suffered when imprisoned during the Mau Mau rebellion.
The court rejected the government's claim that too much time had elapsed for there to be a fair trial, just as it threw out an earlier claim that the Mau Mau veterans should be suing the Kenyan government, not the British.
The three suffered what their lawyers describe as "unspeakable acts of brutality", including castration, beatings and severe sexual assaults.

Bath Salts to Blame in Bank Exec's Violent Attack?
"Brian Mulligan, a Deutsche Bank executive with ties to the television and movie industries, says he was the victim of an unprovoked attack by LAPD officers in May. He claims to have sustained a broken shoulder blade, 15 nasal fractures and facial lacerations from the beating.
The arrest report says that Mulligan admitted to using marijuana and ingesting bath salts four days before the encounter. Mulligan's lawyer said the allegations were made up by the LAPD to excuse what he called an "unmerciful beating." The charges against Mulligan have been dropped, but he pursued a lawsuit against the LAPD. The LAPD has launched a force investigation into Mulligan's charges and their defense may now hinge on the evidence found in an audiotape obtained by "CBS This Morning."
According to CBS News senior correspondent John Miller, the tape reveals an encounter between Mulligan and Glendale Police just two days before the LAPD scuffle. In the tape, Mulligan admits to being "a little paranoid" and later told the officers, "I will tell you what ... my lawyer will kill me ... I went to a head shop and I bought some of that white lightning stuff." He then admitted to snorting the "white lightning" up to 20 times." *Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola (Host of TYT University) break the story down.

NYPD Cops wake up a sleeping homeless man before BEATING him half to DEA...
Once again NYPD officers have been caught on video tape beating a half sleep homeless man and then arresting him on false charges to meet their quotas. Had this savage beaten not been captured on video tape, this homeless man would be facing prison time for a slew of bogus charges.
Only now are the American people beginning to understand why Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants everyone disarmed but the police. This organized crime syndicate wants to secure a monopoly on safety and security by banning guns so citizens will be forced to depend on the NYPD for protection.
This police protection comes in the form of ticket extortion, brutality, racial discrimination, rape, robbery, false arrest, murder ...there is literally no crime an NYPD officer has not been caught committing.

4)FOLLOWER MIND- find ur own path.
5)CAPITALISM- everything aint about $$$ use ya morals 4 purpose too.
6)OVERCOMPENSATING- if u do ur home work u wont have to be all defensive when ppl call u out.

PREPARE TO DIE TO REALLY LIVE
Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinkingabout it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comeswith a terrible price: the illusion of limiless time, & a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running from the reality that faces usall.
As a warrior in life, you must turn this dynamic around: make the thought of death something not to escape but to embrace. Your days are numbered. Will you pass them half awake & half hearted or will you live with a sense of urgency? Cruel theaters stages by a czar are unnecessary; death will cometo you without them. Imagine it pressing im on you, leaving you no escape - for there is no escape. Feeling death at your heels will make all your actions more certain, more forceful. This could be your last throw of the dice: make it count. -Robert Greene, The 33 Strategies of War, 2006
PERSPECTIVE:Being falsely in prison reminds me of my morality everyday. i die everyday awakening in a cold prison cell. i can image what those on death row feel like: damn. In time this feeling gave me a philosophy of "perparing to die to really live."
Years of my life have been lost. Now every shot must count. isay what i mean & mean what i say. i tell my fam & friends i love them every chance i get. i fight for what love w/ no regrets. EMBRACE ME THE SAME WAY!
WE DONE TALKIN 'BOUT FREEING LEON BENSON
"If you know, in this courtroom, they
have freedom & equality every day & i knock on the door. Every
day theyopen the door to let me see other peoples'cases that are like
mine receive justice, let me see that they are throwin' out convictions,
throwin' appeal victories around...but tellin' me there's no justice
& exoneration for me. Every day my people are standing outside
trying to sing their way in:"We are for peace & justice, please let
us in." After about a week the song is gonna change to,"We're getting
frustrated, we need justice too bigots!" After two weeks its like,"Give
us freedom & justice for our loved ones or we gonna break down the
doors!" After years its like," We pickin' the locks, takin' justiceby
hook or crook, comin' through the doors blastin' like Johnathan
Jackson!"
PERSPECTIVE: We asked 50 years ago with
the Black Panthers & civil rights movement. We asked 30 years ago to
stop throwing all our people in prison due erroneous drug sentencing
guide lines. We asked 13 years ago to free my brother, Leon Benson &
others from wrongful imprisonment.
Now, no more asking & demanding
whats owed to us. We are commanding movements & taking back whats
ours: "Freedom!" Stop the games. If youre not ready to act stay out of
our way or get rolled over. Leon has been telling us what time it was
about his freedom for years now, listen: www.youtube.com/leebently !!

UK hacker's extradition to US blocked
The UK has blocked the extradition of a British computer hacker to the United States, ending his decade-long campaign to avoid trial there over allegations he broke into sensitive military and NASA computer networks. Theresa May, Britain's interior minister, told the House of Commons on Tuesday that she had refused the US request to send Gary McKinnon, 46, to face charges over his actions between 2001 and 2002. Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee reports
California Law Allows Juveniles To Appeal Life Sentences
Retired Superior Court Judge of Santa Clara, California, Eugene Hyman, talks with The Legal Broadcast Network about California allowing juveniles to appeal life sentences.
California law is now allowing juveniles to appeal life sentences for those who have served a minimum of 15 years. Under the aiding and abetting law, there isn t a difference with the person who assists in a first degree murder and the person who actually does the murder, as they both possibly get the same sentence, says retired Superior Court Judge of Santa Clara, California Eugene Hyman.
Attorneys can petition the court for resentencing for life without the possibility of parole to 25 years to life, says Hyman. They judge will then look over the performance over the last 15 years and as long as the judge feels there s been substantial information and in the interest of justice, that you should have a chance to be paroled, then your sentence should be converted to 25 years to life. Hyman notes that this doesn t mean you get out after 25 years. You must then do a minimum of an additional 10 years for a total of 25 years and then be evaluated for parole.
The parole board decides if the prisoner should be released and the governor has the opportunity to overrule what the parole board has done, says Hyman, adding that the majority of murder cases do not get parole at the 25 year mark.
Hyman mentions that there is criticism from victims groups regarding the exceptions to this new law as it pertains to law enforcement and fire fighters. Sentences cannot be modified for killing law enforcement or fire fighters. Victims groups are asking why they are more valuable as victims than the loss of their own spouse or child.
Honorable Judge Eugene Hyman has received numerous awards and recognition for his work with families and children and has appeared on numerous television news shows.

40 Seconds of Secrecy: 'US wants to hide Gitmo trial facts'
The lawyers of five people accused of planning the 9/11 attacks say the U.S. wants to cover up the fact they were all tortured in secret CIA prisons. Pre-trial hearings are underway in Guantanamo Bay for the men, including the self-professed mastermind of September 11.
The week long pre-trial now has to determine whether to allow them to freely say in court what happened during their years in custody. The live transmissions from the courtroom are also being covered by a 40-second sound delay.
Lawyer and Retired Air Force Colonel, Morris Davis, though, thinks this policy is less about protecting the nation - and more about saving face.

US increases military drills in Asia
The US navy has increased its training exercises off the coast of Thailand.
The new drills are part of a strategic campaign which the White House calls its "pivot to Asia", but others see the rise in military activity as a political move by the US to flex its muscles.
It comes at a time of deep tension over territorial disputes surrounding the group of islands known as the Scarborough Shoal.

Thai authorities crack down on social network's drug trade
Drug traffickers are having hard time to sell illegal substances though traditional channels in Thailand as the government of Yingluck Shinawatra has been active since in power to eradicate this plague.
Thailand's Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) is working with the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology to prevent illegal drug selling using social networks.
According to the office, Traffickers have adapted to new technologies and started using social networks to trade with potential customers, targeting mainly youngsters.
