Please take action for Albert Woodfox: New Amnesty Intl. Petition to Gov. Jindal Calls

http://angola3news.blogspot.com/2015/02/please-take-action-for-albert-woodfox.html


We are excited to announce that Amnesty International has started a new petition in support of Albert Woodfox's February 6 bail request that he filed in response to the favorable Fifth Circuit Court ruling on February 3. The full text of an email sent out today by Amnesty, describing the campaign, is featured below.  

Please take action now!

Freedom is just around the corner

For more than four decades, Albert Woodfox has been held in solitary confinement: first in the infamous Louisiana State Penitentiary (also known as Angola Prison) and later in David Wade Correctional Center.

Albert spends 23 hours a day isolated in a small cell - four steps long and three steps across - with no access to meaningful social interaction or rehabilitation.

Last Friday, Albert's legal team filed for bail. With your help, he could finally walk free.

Albert has been imprisoned for nearly 43 years for the second-degree murder of prison guard Brent Miller in 1972. He has been fighting to prove his innocence in a legal process tainted with flaws.

No physical evidence ties Albert to the crime. Brent Miller's widow has said she believes that Albert is innocent. The Federal courts have overturned Albert's conviction three times.

Despite all of this, the state of Louisiana has appealed three times and spent millions of dollars in legal fees during Albert's 40-year struggle for freedom. The state authorities seem hell-bent on keeping him behind bars.

Allowing Albert his freedom is the only just and humane action the state can take after decades of holding him in cruel and inhuman conditions. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal must ensure that the state stops standing in the way of Albert's freedom.

Tell the Governor: Stop wasting valuable taxpayer resources. Help ensure Albert's release without further delay. It is imperative that justice delayed does not become justice denied.

Albert has endured the unthinkable. It is unconscionable to hold him for a single day longer.

It's time for him to walk free.

With hope for justice,

Dear Mr Cameron,

Subservience is not a virtue and forced subservience is a crime against humanity. History is littered with the extravagant use and abuse of the lives of ordinary people by those who presume to power. The abuses are too great and too many to even begin to list them here. Whatever the self serving mythology of royalty and the aristocracy, even a cursory glance at history reveals the contempt in which the lives of ordinary are held and the fawning adoration and unthinking obedience expected of us.

In recent times I can think of no better example of the utter contempt in which the lives of ordinary people are held than in the food banks debate in the House of Commons when Tories jeered and mocked the stories of hardship that people were, and are, suffering or perhaps your announcing permanent austerity for the nation as you celebrated the gluttony of power and excess at the Lord Mayors banquet.

There is a cartoon that's been around for a while of a young lad saying to his father, "Dad, I am considering a career in organised crime." To which his father responds, "Government or private sector?" It's pretty funny as far as it goes, but, of course, there is a glaring absence in his aspirations of criminality to which he could never aspire, the aristocracy. He might, if he strives hard, be rewarded with, say, an OBE, or some such, a fawning recognition of achievement, but he will forever be excluded from the class that has raped and pillaged its way through history and across the world with impunity.

A new book called 'Breadline Britain' reveals that 20 million people in Britain are now living in poverty, doubling since 1983. This is the war on the poor presided over by you and your government and in which Iain Duncan Smith is the Grand Vizier, beating people into poverty through welfare threats and sanctions, forcing obedience from people who hope for of a crumb of sustenance and yet depriving his victims of the means of survival for the most spurious of reasons.

With nearly 29,000 people dying of cold in the two weeks to January 23 and uncounted numbers dead from sanctions, benefit delays and driven beyond despair, a bullet to the head would be more honest in your heinous war on the poor and the growing genocide in this country amongst our most disabled and vulnerable people. It was Frank Herbert who wrote, "The position of authority is the most prosperous criminal position available." Crooks in suits and ermine are stealing the world and its resources, give me an honest robber any day, at least he doesn't expect people to wave flags and bunting or reward him as he goes about his nefarious business.

MIDNIGHT RIDE Trailer - 2

Have you noticed the police and surveillance state being quietly built around us since 9/11? MIDNIGHT RIDE -- the sister film to MOLON LABE -- explores what would happen if some "necessity" prompted the powers-that-be to call for martial law. Would it be Constitutional? Should martial law, if ever called, be obeyed? The concerned citizen should be asking these questions.

MATRIX ENTERTAINMENT, in association with OATH KEEPERS, presents a James Jaeger film, inspired by the book, BY TYRANNY OUT OF NECESSITY: The Bastardy of Martial Law by Edwin Vieira, Jr. 

MIDNIGHT RIDE features RON PAUL, G. EDWARD GRIFFIN, LARRY PRATT and STEWART RHODES, Founder of Oath Keepers, as well as Tea Party co-founder, WALTER REDDY and Ron Paul activist, ROSIE HAAS.

Available at Amazon, BY TYRANNY OUT OF NECESSITY, explores the nature of martial law and how it relates to the Second Amendment and militia clauses in the U.S. Constitution. Dr. Viera (brother of NBC TV host, Meredith Vieira) has 4 degrees from Harvard including his law degree and is widely considered the foremost expert on the U.S. Constitution.

Help produce this film. Donors will be acknowledged with a Producer, Executive Producer, Associate Producer or Production Associate screen credit commensurate with their level of contribution. Go to http://www.MidnightRide.us/donate to donate.

Charities warned

Charities warned that David Cameron's plan to axe housing benefit for young people and reduce the benefits cap will throw more people onto the streets

A benefits crackdown by David Cameron will throw more people on to the streets and penalise single mums, charities warned last night. frown emoticon

The PM said he would axe housing benefit for 18-to 21-year-olds and cap benefit at £23,000 a year – a cut of £3,000 – if re-elected in May.

Mr Cameron said welfare should no longer be a 'lifestyle choice'.

But he ruled out taking benefits such as free TV licences and bus travel from richer pensioners, saying it 'would not save much money'.

Charities said his plans would be a “disaster” for hundreds of thousands of families.

Shelter said: “We need a welfare system that’s fair, but taking away the safety net that stands between some young people and homelessness would be a disaster."

Crisis said: “We know half of all homeless people become homeless aged under 21. Without benefits, many more will end up on the streets.”

And anti-poverty groups said the benefit cap would hit families with children the hardest.

Child Poverty Action Group (UK) - CPAG said: “It would pile on misery for families already struggling to pay for absolute basics.”

Gingerbread Centre said: "Despite government claims that the benefits cap helps people into work, most people affected so far haven’t been able to do so."
