CUNY Student Group: Six Students Violently Arrested Protesting Petraeus Await Charges==
Posted: 19 Sep 2013 05:30 AM PDT
Six student activists were violently arrested yesterday outside of a City University of New York (CUNY) Macaulay Honors College fundraiser featuring former CIA Director and Honors College adjunct professor David Petraeus.

The activists have yet to receive charges, currently detained at the New York Police Department’s 20th Precinct.

They await an arraignment hearing scheduled for “between 9:00 a.m. and the afternoon at the Arraignment Court in the Manhattan Criminal Court,” according to a press release issued by the Ad Hoc Committee Against the Militarization of CUNY.

“Students were punched, slammed against vehicles and against the pavement by police captains and officers, after the NYPD forced them off the pavement and into the street,” the press release further explains.

One student quoted in the Ad Hoc Committee’s press release explains the violent nature of the arrests juxtaposed with what they say was peaceful, non-violent protest.”As students were chanting ‘War Criminal Petraeus Out of CUNY Now,’ I was shocked to see several police officers grab and brutalize one of the demonstrators,” one male student details in the release. “This was completely unprovoked, as demonstrators made clear that they were there to defend our university in a peaceful protest.”

Others echoed this description.

“Protesters were marching in a circle on the sidewalk and chanting, but the police forced them into the street and then charged. One of the most brutal things I saw was that five police officers slammed a Queens College student face down to the pavement across the street from Macaulay, put their knees on his back, and he was then repeatedly kneed in the back,” another male student explained.

According to the press release, the beat-down was gender neutral, with one female student “heaved through the air and slammed to the ground.”

Fareed Zakaria – foreign policy advisor to President Barack Obama and host of “Global Public Square” on CNN — was also in attendance at the fundraiser. So too was Honors College Dean Ann Kirschner, who also serves as a Board member of the Apollo Group, which owns the controversial for-profit online college, Phoenix University.

The arrests come just a week after statements condemning the Petraeus protests by both Kirschner and CUNY’s Faculty Senate Executive Committee.

Update: The Hunter College Professional Staff Congress (faculty and staff union) and Faculty Delegate Association have issued a joint resolution defending the students arrested and still being held without charges. It reads as follows:

“Resolved: In light of the assault by the NYPD on Tuesday, September 17, 2013 against CUNY students who were protesting peacefully, in front of the CUNY Macaulay Honors College, the PSC Hunter Chapter and the Hunter FDA reaffirm their defense of students’ right to protest peacefully and call for all charges against the students to be dropped immediately

13-09-17 Governor of Bank of Israel, Stanley Fischer, acted as a foreign agent on behalf of the U.S. security services and the banking cartel

The U.S. law FATCA , part of a U.S. electronic spying operation was implemented in Israel by Stanley Fischer and Bank Hapoalim - contrary to the laws of the State of Israel.

Pictures:
Page 1 and Page 2: Letter from the office of Stanley Fischer, regarding his refusal to enforce the laws of the State of Israel on Bank Hapoalim , and in practice - providing his patronage for the subjection of Israeli banking to the NSA.The letter concludes : "With all our understanding of the inconvenience and trouble caused to customers due to FATCA, unfortunately, we can not help beyond providing clarifications. "
_
Most Israelis certainly have not even heard about FATCA - a relatively new Act of the United States Congress, which has neither been promulgated nor been enforced by the United States government so far. The Act requires U.S. citizens abroad to sign a "Waiver of Privacy" activities to the benefit of the U.S. government.
FATCA it is part of the global mechanisms for illegal electronic spying on U.S. citizens, led by NSA [3]
On January 1, 2013 , after I refused to sign a "Waiver of Privacy" of this type, Bank Hapoalim, BM, froze all my bank accounts and left me penniless .

However, there were a couple of legal problems with that conduct:
1 ) Then and now, FATCA was not and is not enforceable in the United States, since no Regulations have been promulgated so far (and the prospects of promulgation appear steadily shrinking);
2 ) Then and now, FATCA was not and is not a law of the State of Israel, and is not enforceable in the State of Israel, absent any US-Israeli international agreement in this matter.
3 ) All actions against me were perpetrated without any legal procedure . Bank Hapoalim refused even to issue a paperwork on the matter. They just told me over the phone that I no longer have access to my accounts, and refused to my requet, appearing in the bank, to withdraw my money in cash.

Regardless, then Govenor of the State of Israel Stanley Fischer permitted and provided his patronage to such conduct by Israeli banks, in deference to a non-existing US law for the abuse of the rights of people in the State of Israel, in violation of the law of the State of Israel.

Fischer also violated Israeli law by refusing to duly register and review my Consumer's Complaint in this matter, which I filed against the Israeli Bank HaPoalim, BM. [2]

And the Supreme Court refused to duly register my Conditional Decree Petition in the Israeli Supreme Court in this matter against Stanley Fischer, asking that he explain, why he would not enforce the law of the State of Israel in Israeli Banking Regulation. [1]

Finally I got my money back only after I asked the sponsor Consul of Germany in Israel !

The case is important because it records :
First . the Governor of the Bank of Israel Stanley Fischer acted as a foreign agent - for the benefit of the security apparatus of the U.S. government and the interests of the international banking cartel .
Second, Stanley Fischer worked to put the banks in Israel above the law of the State of Israel.Third. Israel is today administered as a corporatist province of the Unted States;
Fourth, the role reversal between Germany and the US, where now Germany is a center of Liberty, and the US is a center of Oppression.

It should be noted that the nominated new Governor of the State of Israel is again a non-resident, and member of the same clique.

The practice of appointing non-residents as Governor of the Bank of Israel is unacceptable!
