On October 24, the Houston Police Department announced the results of its yearlong investigation into the shooting death of Brian Claunch, a mentally ill double amputee killed by an officer last September after refusing to drop a pen. HPD cleared the officer, Matthew Marin, of any wrongdoing.
That may not come as a surprise, since HPD hasn’t found a single police shooting unjustified in at least six years. Between 2007 and 2012, HPD officers fatally shot 109 people and injured another 111. All those shootings were found justified. (For the full story on HPD shootings and beatings, read the Observer investigation here.) Continue reading “How a Texas Cop Who Killed a Double Amputee Holding a Ballpoint Pen Got Away With It”

After his midnight shift began on a Wednesday evening late last January, Macon police officer Troy Guidry sent a text message to a buddy on the force.
“Ready to go shopping tonight,” Guidry’s text to officer Jon Wantz said.
For weeks, Guidry had had his eyes peeled for a tractor. He’d been wanting to spruce up the tree line around his 2½ acre yard in eastern Monroe County. Continue reading “Badges of dishonor: How two Macon cops became crooks”
Edward Snowden, through the leakage of several top secret NSA documents, has reveals the depths of the NSA spying program. Because of this he was forced to flee the United States and now lives in asylum in Russia.
While the ramifications of the Snowden leaks have been far reaching it has been reported that only 1% of the documents in Edward Snowden’s possession have been made public. This means that there is an astronomical amount of potentially damaging material which has not yet come to light, and the NSA will do just about anything to ensure it never does–up to an including granting Edward Snowden amnesty in return for the unreleased documents.

Several companies have stopped using BPA in plastic production due to consumer outrage, but just because a plastic container says it is “BPA Free” doesn’t mean it’s free of potentially harmful chemicals. As a matter of fact, recent research out of Germany indicates there are more than 24,000 of such chemicals in any given bottle of water—with some of them causing serious hormone-disrupting effects.
According to the story from Goethe University Frankfort, the researchers tested 18 different bottled water products in an effort to look for endocrine disrupting chemicals, or EDCs. They found far more than expected, identifying 24,520 different chemicals in their testing. After isolating the chemicals and determining their impact on the body, the researchers narrowed down those with anti-estrogenic properties to one: DEHF or di(2-ethylhexyl) fumarate. This finding was of major concern. Continue reading “Bottled water wreaking havoc with our bodies”

The actor’s 1962 portrayal of an English ally of embattled Arabs is a high water mark of cinema. Long after overcoming stomach cancer in the 1970s, Peter O’Toole died in a London hospital following an illness.
O’Toole stopped acting last year, saying, “I bid the profession a dry-eyed and profoundly grateful farewell.” He said his career in movies and on stage fulfilled him emotionally and financially, connecting him “with fine people, good companions with whom I’ve shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits.” Continue reading “Peter O’Toole, Star of ‘Lawrence of Arabia,’ Dead at 81”

Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, happened 75 years ago when Nazi thugs conducted a wave of violent anti-Jewish pogroms on the streets of Berlin and other cities in Germany. U.S. President Barack Obama, on the 2014 Anniversary of Kristallnacht, issued a statement to commemorate the anniversary of Kristallnacht, stating that “the event foreshadowed the systematic slaughter of six million Jews and millions of other innocent victims.” Continue reading “The Modern State of Israel: A Hegelian Paradigm”
This woman, Anna Breytenbach is able to communicate with animals. This video and documentary gave me so much peace. She proves the oneness of our world. She shows all of us are able to do this. We need to just go within and to become at peace to see what the animals are saying.
This video portion is in the documentary. It shows how she helped a Leopard but not just him, it was a profound experience for the owner of the big cat sanctuary too. Continue reading “Absolutely Beautiful! Woman who is able to communicate with Animals – Proves the Oneness of our World.”

Did you know that if a professor — whose job supposedly is to teach — corrects a student’s grammar, he is being raaaaaacist?
Of course, the “someone” must be a “person of color” — not just any color, but a person of dark, i.e., “black,” skin color. Continue reading “Correcting someone’s grammar is now racist”
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was visibly amused on Sunday when he was asked if he had been wrong to say that President Barack Obama’s handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro was like shaking hands with Adolf Hitler.
At the memorial service for former South African President Nelson Mandela, the U.S. president had briefly greeted Castro moments before taking the stage to note that “too many who claim solidarity with Madiba’s struggle for freedom but do not tolerate dissent from their own people.” Continue reading “John McCain ‘pleads guilty’ after linking Obama to Hitler — but thinks it’s hilarious”
Chris Kyle is perhaps the most evil military figure to disgrace honor patriotism decency and selflessness in our history since colonial times. He was a war criminal racist bigot and typical brain sharing Texas moron redneck. I have heard his Zionist IsraHELL jew worshiping parents speak and they are as hateful ignorant elitist and racist and Christ mocking as he was.
You know the type – wears a beard – lots of aggressive looking poses like biker trash do – and one of those red neck hats like racist trash Toby Keith – so as to look more macho and mean. His entire inbred family are trailer trash and super racist hypocrites – especially his wife like two demons in a pod – were made for each other.

We are such a mean country. Or, at least we are here in Colorado. That is the conclusion a visitor to Colorado would possibly make if he or she read the front page article in today’s Denver Post. We are making people go to jail if they don’t pay court fines!
Mark Silverman, the Director of the Denver chapter of the ACLU, says we are discriminating against poor people. Post writer Christopher Osher quotes Silverman: Continue reading “Making poor people go to jail if they cannot pay court fines”
Like the parasite that Judaism is, America’s largest national holiday, Christmas, has been eclipsed by the traditional Jewish holiday, Hanukkah, and the national lighting of the Menorah across from the White House. Unknown to most in the U.S., the menorah lighting festival at the White House dates back to 1979 with 2013 celebrating the event’s 35th year.
