2015-08-23 Why It Really All Comes Down To The Death Of The Petrodollar

2015-08-23 Why It Really All Comes Down To The Death Of The Petrodollar
=======
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/23/2015 - 09:59
Last week, in the global currency war’s latest escalation, Kazakhstan instituted a free float for the tenge causing the currency to immediately plunge by some 25%. The rationale behind the move was clear enough. What might not be as clear is how recent events in developing economy FX markets stem from a seismic shift we began discussing late last year - namely, the death of the petrodollar system which has served to underwrite decades of dollar dominance and was, until recently, a fixture of the post-war global economic order.

בית המשפט: צלמים שתיעדו הפגנה בנבי סלאח נעצרו ללא עילה מאת אקטיבסטילס | 23.8.2015 חיילים עצרו שלושה צלמים שתיעדו הפגנה בשטחים. לשני הישראלים הוצע שחרור בתנאים מגבילים אולם הם סרבו מאחר ואפשרות כזאת לא הוצעה לצלם הפלסטיני. בצעד נדיר בעקבות החלטת בית המשפט לשחררם הוחלט לשחרר ללא תנאים גם את הצלם הפלסטיני
אורן זיו:
נמשכת התנכלות הצבא לצלמים בשטחים הכבושים: שלושה צלמים שתיעדו את ההפגנה השבועית בכפר נאבי סאלח בגדה המערבית, נעצרו ביום שישי האחרון. במוצאי שבת, לאחר שקבע שלא היתה עילה למעצר, שחרר בית המשפט שניים מהם, שרית מיכאלי ודוד ריב. הבוקר, בצעד נדיר כלפי עצורים פלסטינים בהפגנות, הסכימה המשטרה לשחרר ללא תנאים גם את הצלם השלישי, בילאל תמימי, בעקבות בקשה של עורך דינו והחלטת בת המשפט אמש. תמימי עדיין מחכה לשחרורו....
...מעצרם של השלושה, מדגים פעם נוספת, את משטר האפליה בשטחים. למרות שצו שטח צבאי סגור לא אמור לחול על תושבי המקום, ולמרות שנעצר בדיוק באותו מקום ובאותה שעה והואשם באותן עבירות נלקח הצלם בילאל תמימי לאחר חקירתו ביום שישי לבית המעצר הצבאי בעופר. כאמור, לא הוצעה לו אפשרות לחתום על שחרור בתנאי מגבילים כלשהם. בעוד העצורים הישראלים כפופים לחוק הישראלי על פיו תוך 24 שעות ממעצרם הם צריכים להיות מובאים בפני שופט, על תמימי, כמו על כל הפלסטינים בשטחים הכבושים, חל החוק הצבאי לפיו ניתן להחזיק בו עד 4 ימים מזמן מעצרו לפני שיובא בפני שופט.
אתמול הדגישה מיכאלי כי "דוד, בילאל ואני נעצרנו באותו מקום ונחקרנו על אותן עבירות, אבל לכל אורך הדרך טופלנו בנפרד, בגלל שבילאל כפלסטיני, כפוף למערכת המשפטית הצבאית, ואנו כישראלים נהנים מהזכויות שמעניקה המערכת האזרחית שחלה עלינו".
בעקבות ההחלטה החד משמעית של בית המשפט אמש, קיבלה הבוקר המשטרה את בקשתו של עו"ד רמתי לשחרר גם את תמימי ממעצרו ללא תנאים מגבילים".

2015-08-23 US: Murderous police - a cardinal sign of a totalitarian regime!

2015-08-23 US: Murderous police - a cardinal sign of a totalitarian regime!
========================
Say his name: Charles S. Hall (white male) in Maryland.
___
‘He wasn’t f*cking armed!': Woman screams at MD. cops after they kill her husband in Walmart parking lot
The Cecil Daily reports that Charles S. Hall was shot and killed by Trooper Daryl K. Brackett, a three-year veteran of the force who claimed he recognized Hall and knew there was a warrant out for his arrest.
According to State Police spokesperson Greg Shipley, Brackett attempted to arrest Hall but Hall allegedly resisted and fought with the trooper before getting into his vehicle and attempting to take off.
“During the struggle, the trooper fired his assigned duty pistol, striking Hall in the upper torso,” Shipley said.
Hall was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to police, Hall was wanted for violating his probation and failure to appear for drug counseling. Hall also had another outstanding warrant for possession of drug paraphernalia.
A witness at the scene filmed an unidentified woman who claimed to be Hall’s wife struggling with police and pounding on the hood of a police car while screaming, “You are a murderer! He was not armed! He was not f*cking armed! You killed my husband!” as she tried to reach him laying on the ground.
According to witnesses, the woman was eventually strapped to a stretcher where she continued to attempt to break free while screaming at the officers.
In the video, a discussion can be heard with one man commenting Hall had been maced by the cop, saying, “He maced him. They should have been away from the car, telling him to get out,” before adding, “This is gonna be big time here — worse than other ones.”
“Is he colored?” the man asks only to be told, “No, he’s white, I think,” before replying, “That don’t even matter, that don’t even matter.”
A third man then adds, “Cause it don’t matter, he was a human.”
