In their quest for a Pax Americana, the 1% have been implementing a world-wide austerity pogrom to save capitalism at the expense of the world’s peoples and their right to a habitat for humanity. To implement this policy, they have resorted to the use of violence by their armed forces, by their militarized police, and their militarize private forces to terrorize the oppressed people of this country and throughout the world. In order to defend themselves, the oppressed nationalities and nations have the unalienable right to organize against this terrorism, as Malcolm X stated: ‘by any means necessary!’
“Police are specialists in violence. They are armed, trained, and authorized to use force. With varying degrees of subtlety, this colors their every action. Like the possibility of arrest, the threat of violence is implicit in every police encounter. Violence, as well as the law, is what they represent.”—Kristian Williams, activist and author Living in a free society means not having to look over your shoulder to see whether the government is watching or fearing that a government agent might perpetuate violence upon you. Unfortunately, as I detail in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, subjected as we are to government surveillance, body scanners, militarized police, roadside strip searches, SWAT team raids, drones, and other trappings of a police state, “we the people” do not live in a free society any longer. — Judge, Jury, and Executioner: Have the Police Become a Law Unto Themselves?
The community must reinforce its moral responsibility to rid itself of the effects of years of exploitation, neglect, and apathy, and wage an unrelenting struggle against police brutality. Yes. There are some good policemen and some bad policemen. Usually we get the bad ones. With all the police in Harlem, there is too much crime, too much drug addiction, too much alcoholism, too much prostitution, too much gambling. So it makes us suspicious about the motives of Commissioner Murphy when he sends all these policemen up here. We begin to think that they are just his errand boys, whose job it is to pick up the graft and take it back downtown to Murphy. Anytime there’s a police commissioner who finds it necessary to increase the strength numerically of the policemen in Harlem and, at the same time, we don’t see any sign of a decrease in crime, why, I think we’re justified in suspecting his motives. He can’t be sending them up here to fight crime, because crime is on the increase. The more cops we have, the more crime we have. We begin to think that they bring some of the crime with them. So our purpose is to organize the community so that we ourselves since the police can’t eliminate the drug traffic, we have to eliminate it. Since the police can’t eliminate organized gambling, we have to eliminate it. Since the police can’t eliminate organized prostitution and all of these evils that are destroying the moral fiber of our community, it is up to you and me to eliminate these evils ourselves. But in many instances, when you unite in this country or in this city to fight organized crime, you’ll find yourselves fighting the police department itself because they are involved in the organized crime. Wherever you have organized crime, that type of crime cannot exist other than with the consent of the police, the knowledge of the police and the cooperation of the police. — Malcolm X’s Speech at the Founding Rally of the Organization of Afro-American Unity
Community control of police has always been understood to mean local black people’s control of police within the bounds of their communities. The necessity for black community police oversight is based on historical and current realities and modern principles of self-determination – in other words, on the proven fact that white-dominated governing structures cannot be trusted to hire, supervise and discipline the cops that patrol black communities; that blacks have the right to police themselves, and not to be subject to the coercive power of hostile forces. (These same self-determinationist principles can be applied to the totality of the criminal justice system, at all stages of the process, from neighborhood surveillance, through arrest, sentencing and incarceration.) Thus, the principles undergirding black community control of police are in stark conflict with the narrow vision of democracy upon which U.S. law is based. — Glen Ford, The Complexities of Black Community Control of Police
When a nation is occupied by and army. one should not be surprised by individual terrorism. You didn’t have suicide bombing in Iraq until the US invaded Iraq. The police terrorism of the Black Community has escalated to overturn any remains of the gains of the civil rights movement, The New Jim Crow, and to continue to impose the austerity upon the working class with the Iron Heel in U.S. society. Remember that the bells that toll from the Black Community — They Toll for Us! — Roland Sheppard
In the United States everyone feels assured of his worth as an individual. No one humbles himself before another person or class. Even the great difference in wealth, the superior power of a few, cannot undermine this healthy self-confidence and natural respect for the dignity of one’s fellow-man. There is, however, a somber point in the social outlook of Americans. Their sense of equality and human dignity is mainly limited to men of white skins. Even among these there are prejudices of which I as a Jew am clearly conscious; but they are unimportant in comparison with the attitude of the “Whites” toward their fellow-citizens of darker complexion, particularly toward Negroes. The more I feel an American, the more this situation pains me. I can escape the feeling of complicity in it only by speaking out. Many a sincere person will answer: “Our attitude towards Negroes is the result of unfavorable experiences which we have had by living side by side with Negroes in this country. They are not our equals in intelligence, sense of responsibility, reliability.” I am firmly convinced that whoever believes this suffers from a fatal misconception. Your ancestors dragged these black people from their homes by force; and in the white man’s quest for wealth and an easy life they have been ruthlessly suppressed and exploited, degraded into slavery. The modern prejudice against Negroes is the result of the desire to maintain this unworthy condition. — Albert Einstein, The Negro Question
Legalized Murder and the Politics of Terror: Police officers carry out random acts of legalized murder against poor people of color not because they are racist, although they may be, or even because they are rogue cops, but because impoverished urban communities have evolved into miniature police states.

Cops are never sent to protect lives. Their job is to protect property and defend the status quo, hence are violent in their very nature. — Jean Paul Sarte

After the rise of assassinations, by the United States’ ‘Law and Order’ militarized cops under ‘Lessor Evil’ Black President, Barak Obama. — The 2008 ‘Candidate of Hope’ is now the President of the Nightmare of Escalated PoliceTerrorism’ that, for example, ‘in the first 24 days of 2015, police in the US fatally shot more people than police did in England and Wales, combined, over the past 24 years’ (The Guardian: US Police Kill More in Days than Other Countries Do in Years) No matter who is in political power, the 1%’s ‘Greater Evil” or ‘Lessor Evil’ has been carrying out this assassination pogrom. ‘Lesser Evil’ New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Cops are Allowed to Choke Eric Garner to Death in Statin Island and Jail the Whistleblower Who Filmed It. — Roland Sheppard

Murder and Mayhem in the UK: Re-open the investigation into the death of Dr David Christopher Kelly: We believe Dr. David Kelly died on the 17th of July 2003 in suspicious circumstances surrounding his stance on the war in Iraq that has recently been ruled “not necessary”. In other words the war was illegal, and given the recent ruling on the Iraq war the inquest should be re-opened on Dr Kelly’s death! By Rory Robinson
Zimbabwe: mass protests shakes the regime to its core: Over the last few days the Southern African country of Zimbabwe have experienced escalating protests which shook the Mugabe regime to its core.

Dramatic scenes have played themselves out as workers, civil servants and small traders took to the streets to protest against the latest crisis. This culminated in a national stay away on 6 July by public sector workers who have not received their wages for June. by Ben MorkenHealth, Education, and Welfare:

FBI Director Oversaw Drug Cartel Money Laundering Operations At HSBC Bank: (Dave Hodges) My best insider source states that FBI Director James Comey has absolutely no law enforcement background, and is not qualified to run the FBI. To add insult to injury, the FBI Director held an executive position at HSBC Bank, while extreme money laundering operations where being carried out by the Mexican Drug Cartel and their terrorist allies with the direct assistance of HSBC banking officials. I asked my source if Comey would have known, and he replied “he would have to have been drunk 24/7 to not know what was going on”.
