Killing Americans: By Drones & Street Gangs

The current Commander in Chief, following the footsteps of President Bush, is executing Americans by drone.  Now street gangs, under the color of law, are shooting at unarmed Americans.  History buffs will recall street executions in Germany during the 1930s.

Women delivering newspapers were shot by the street gang dressed up as police.

The police "us versus them" is being violently demonstrated.  This will lead to average people taking a similar "us versus them" mentality, and fearing "them" (the police).

A few actors in the Los Angeles police department are rogue criminals violating the rights of the people.  If local prosecutors don't file charges of assault and attempted murder against those police, the federal government must step in to ensure the safety of the people.

Iceland Wins

The people of Iceland have won against the international banksters.  Iceland told the banksters to take a walk.  While other countries in Europe and the USA continue to sink under the weight of debt, Iceland's recovery is spectacularly recovering.

Iceland Wins Case On Deposit Guarantees
The court of the European Free Trade Association on Monday said Iceland didn't breach European Economic Area directives on deposit guarantees by not compensating U.K. and Dutch depositors in Landsbanki's online savings accounts, known as Icesave accounts. 
...
The directive, part of EU rules to which Iceland subscribes, "does not lay down an obligation on the State and its authorities to ensure compensation if a deposit-guarantee scheme is unable to cope with its obligations in the event of a systemic crisis," the ruling said.  The ruling of the EFTA Court is final and can't be appealed.


Too bad the Irish people allowed their government to bail out the banksters, on the backs of the Irish people.

Iceland Sends FBI Home

Iceland doesn't allow invaders on their island.  They sent the FBI packing.


FBI Banned from Iceland

FBI agents landed in Reykjavík without prior notification in an attempt to investigate WikiLeaks operations in the country, but Home Secretary Ögmundur Jónasson found out about the visit and forced them to leave the country, with the Icelandic government then issuing a formal protest to US authorities.

...

A private plane landed at the Reykjavík airport in August 2011. Onboard were FBI agents who'd flown directly to Iceland from the US. Their mission was to investigate WikiLeaks operations in the country as part of a larger investigation of the whistleblower organisation. The FBI agents contacted the head of the national Icelandic police and the head prosecutor in an effort to gain access to all available information on WikiLeaks.

Home Secretary Ögmundur Jónasson learned of the visit and summoned the FBI agents. They were told that the Icelandic government would not permit a foreign power running their own investigations in the country. Jónasson admonished the FBI agents to return to the US.
 

Television or School Supplies?

Internet access is nearly a required home school supply.  Do parents spend their money on TVs and television programming instead of an internet connection?  Yes they do, and then they go to McDonald's.

The Web-Deprived Study at McDonald's
... The result is a divide between families that have broadband constantly available on their home computers and phones, and those that have to plan their days around visits to free sources of Internet access.  That divide is becoming a bigger problem now that a fast Internet connection has evolved into an essential tool for completing many assignments at public schools. ...

... Linda Edwards, says she already pays a large portion of her monthly budget for telecommunications: more than $150 for cellphones for herself and an older son, and $55 for satellite television... She said she couldn't afford the $250 deposit she would need to get satellite Internet ...


Priorities are priorities, and television is a higher priority than school work.
