The Medieval, Unaccountable Corporation of London Is Ripe for Protest

Thursday 3 November 2011

by: George Monbiot, The Guardian UK | News Analysis

Working beyond the authority of parliament, the Corporation of London undermines all attempts to curb the excesses of finance.

It's the dark heart of Britain, the place where democracy goes to die, immensely powerful, equally unaccountable. But I doubt that one in 10 British people has any idea of what the Corporation of the City of London is and how it works. This could be about to change. Alongside the Church of England, the Corporation is seeking to evict the protesters camped outside St Paul's cathedral. The protesters, in turn, have demanded that it submit to national oversight and control.

CASE STUDY

Judges Are for Sale — and Special Interests Are Buying

A new report details how big business and corporate lobbyists are packing courts with judges who put special interests ahead of the public interest

The Occupy Wall Street movement is shining a spotlight on how much influence big-money interests have with the White House and Congress. But people are not talking about how big money is also increasingly getting its way with the courts, which is too bad. It’s a scandal that needs more attention. A blistering new report details how big business and corporate lobbyists are pouring money into state judicial elections across the country and packing the courts with judges who put special interests ahead of the public interest.

NC5 Investigates: Policing for Profit

Policing For Profit Takes Cash From Innocent Drivers

Updated: June 6, 2011 10:15 PM CDT
Van Huynh

Carmina Perez

By Phil Williams
Chief Investigative Reporter
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Imagine being stopped on the interstate and put into handcuffs because police think you're carrying too much cash. Even worse, imagine them keeping the money you've been saving for months.

Police insist most of the cash they take is drug money.

But NewsChannel 5 Investigates discovered some innocent victims of a practice that critics call "policing for profit."

Among them: Vietnamese immigrant Van Huynh, who found his American dream in a nail salon he opened in Texarkana, Texas.

"Was that a big moment for you to become a citizen?" NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked.

"Oh, yeah," he answered in broken English. "I very happy."

Huynh came to the U.S. in 1999, becoming an American citizen seven years later.

But nothing prepared him for what he'd encounter when he got stopped by DICE -- the Dickson Interdiction and Criminal Enforcement unit.

Huynh was on his way back to Texas after a long trip to Virginia where he'd hoped to pay cash for his third nail salon.

He recalled that agents had plenty of questions: "You have any guns? You have any drugs? You have any money? You have anything? I said no, no."

Huynh admitted that he did not tell the officers that he had money "because too much cash, I don't want to have trouble because I'm in hurry on the way home."

What Huynh did not know was that DICE gets its funding -- thanks to a Tennessee law that lets police take cash off of drivers if they have reason to suspect that it's drug money.

After he gave them permission to search his vehicle, officers discovered a bag. Inside it, they found $50,000 cash wrapped in aluminum foil.

Still, Huynh thought it was his right as an American citizen to tell the police it was none of their business.

"You told them, I don't want to talk about it, I just want to go," we wanted to know.

"Yeah, yeah."

"And that didn't work, did it?"

"That didn't work."

"They took you to police headquarters?"

"Yes. Yes, sir."

"In handcuffs?"

"Yes, sir. Yes, sir."

There, inside Dickson police headquarters, detectives questioned Huynh for four hours, demanding that he prove why he was traveling with so much cash. DICE documents show that Huynh was stopped at 8:44 a.m., but the cash was not returned until after 1 p.m.

"They kept telling you this is drug money?" NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked.

"Yes, they do."

"And what did you say?"

"I said, no, that's mine."

Veteran Nashville lawyer Gary Blackburn, who has filed numerous civil rights cases, says the officers' approach "suggests that the mere possession of money makes you a criminal, which is absurd."

He added that what's really outrageous about the Huynh case is that 50,000 Americans gave their lives supposedly to bring freedom to Vietnam.

"Then one of those persons comes here for freedom and is subjected to an attempted shakedown, it looks like, by police officers," Blackburn added. "No one should have to endure that."

It also happened to Carmina Perez and her 10-year-old son just after they crossed the Tennessee River into Decatur County. The two were on the way to see Perez's mother in Texas and her father-in-law in Mexico.

Perez freely admitted to the interdiction officer that she was carrying $15,000 to help her family with their medical bills.

"He kept calling me a liar," Perez told NewsChannel 5 Investigates. "He kept saying that we Mexicans we all have a reputation of being drug smugglers, that that's what I was going to use it for. I kept telling him no."

After four hours on the side of the road, agents took Perez's money, forcing the family to cancel their trip home.

"It took me months to save that money, and it hurt me the way they treated me and the way they treated my son," she recalled. "It hurt me and it still does."

And she's not alone.

Our NewsChannel 5 investigation found case-after-case where other innocent people also had their cash taken by people who are supposed to be enforcing the law.

Shelby County: Memphis police took $32,000 from an African-American woman -- money she'd been saving for a down payment on a building that she planned to buy the next day. A state administrative law judge later called it "highly inappropriate ... to deprive a citizen of her property based simply on such speculation and  conjecture."

Hamilton County:  A sheriff's deputy seized $28,000 from a Vietnamese businessman -- money that the man had borrowed to buy a restaurant. A judge later ruled that was "not the proceeds from the sale of drugs."

Bradley County: Police took $20,000 from an African-American man who had won the Georgia Lottery. The man said he had been to Knoxville trying to buy a car. A judge later ruled "there was no proof that Claimant had any connection with illegal drugs."

In another case, police seized $31,000 from a Korean businessman who had collected the money as repayment of a loan. A judge later ruled that "there was no 'reasonable suspicion' or 'probable cause' to make the traffic stop."

Also, in Bradley County, a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer took $135,504from an African-American businessman who had been using cash to buy flooded properties in New Orleans. The money was returned after the state failed to pursue the case.

Monroe County:  Police confiscated $17,300 from three Hispanic men. They were about to wire the money to family in El Salvador to buy a house. A judge later ruled that "there was absolutely no proof that Claimants sold any drugs."

Sullivan County:  An interdiction team took $27,500 from a Hispanic man. He was transporting the money his mother had saved to Virginia, where she'd moved from California. The state later returned the money to the woman.

Gary Blackburn said those cases show there's something wrong with a system that has officers policing for profit.

"That badge is a testament that you are part of the system to protect people, it is part of the law," he added. "That badge is not a commission to seize money."

NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked Perez, "So how long did it take you to get your money back?"

"It took me about two years," she answered.

As to how many innocent people are searched and detained in the search for cash, no one knows for sure -- since most agencies claim they don't keep such records.

We asked Van Huynh, "Are you surprised that this happens in America?"

"Oh, very surprised," the Vietnamese immigrant responded.

Interdiction teams insist there are protections.

After officers take money that suspect is drug money, they have to get a judge to sign off on the seizures. Still, those judges have to take the officers' word and, as we saw in the cases we uncovered, it can often take innocent people more than a year to get their cash back.

Defense attorneys also tell me that sometimes people don't bother trying to fight the seizures because hiring an attorney might be so expensive that it's not even worth it.

11-11-01 Obama's Birth Certificate fraud and multiplicity of Social Security numbers // El fraude de Obama Certificado de Nacimiento y de la multiplicidad de números de Seguro Social // 奥巴马的出生证明欺诈和社会安全号码的多重

A reasonable person, upon review of the facts in this matter, would surely conclude that Sheriff Joe is right, and Esquire is dead wrong!
Los Angeles, November 1 - Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), has stated his support of the opinion, recently publish by the panel instituted by Arizona's maverick Sheriff Joe, and in opposition of Esquire's opinion in the ongoing scandal surrounding the publication of fraud for Obama's long-form Birth Certificates, [i] and use of multiplicity of Social Security numbers. [ii]

Dr Zernik has gained substantial experience over the past decade in analyzing fraud in government and banking records in the United States.  His opinions in this matter have been adopted by the Human Rights Council of the United Nations, peer-reviewed and published in computer science and criminology journals, and presented in international conferences. [iii]

"You don't need to be a rocket scientist to read the findings and the various experts reports and evaluate the facts for yourself," concludes Dr Zernik, "Mr Obama has a long and convoluted relationship with FBI and the corrupt US justice system..." [iv]

Sheriff Joe's posse delivers promised Obama surprise

Panel probing eligibility for 2012 ballot wants to see original birth certificate

Posted: October 31, 2011

Arizona's maverick Sheriff Joe Arpaio promised surprises in his jurisdiction's investigation of Barack Obama's eligibility for the presidential ballot and his Cold Case Posse is delivering – raising questions that touch on the authenticity of the long-form birthcertificate issued last April and the possibility Obama is using a fraudulent Social Security Number.

Sources close to the investigation say the posse has decided it needs to see original birth records before it can conclude whether Obama should be eligible for the presidential ballot in 2012, not an electronic file or scanned copies.

The sources say the panel needs to examine the microfilm documenting Obama's birth, as well as the ink-and-paper original 1961 birth records the Hawaii Department of Health is holding in its vault.

The PDF file and various scanned copies of the birth certificate that the White House released April 27 are simply not good enough, the posse has determined.

11-10-30 Growing militarization of police in the United States: Oakland Police Violated 2004 Agreement // La creciente militarización de la policía en los Estados Unidos // 警方在美国日益军事化

The very fact that there was an "agreement" between police and the People, already in 2004, is a sign of the times...  Recognizing the true nature of the situation, the People are negotiating "agreements" with police as to how much the police would oppress them, which police violates at will...

 

Submitted by mark karlin on Sat, 10/29/2011 - 11:42am.

MARK KARLIN, EDITOR OF BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT
As the medical condition of Marine Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen appears to have improved, he is becoming the Neda Agha-Soltan - the martyr of the Iranian Green Revolution - of the "Occupy" struggle for economic justice.

What occurred this week in Oakland - including the wounding of Olsen - shouldn't have happened. In June of 2004, the Oakland Police Department reached an agreement to refrain from using the kind of bloody and militarized tactics that they employed earlier this week.

According to a November 2004 San Francisco Chronicle article:

Oakland police will no longer indiscriminately use wooden or rubber bullets, Taser stun guns, pepper spray and motorcycles to break up crowds, under an agreement announced Friday....

The new policy settles part of a federal class-action lawsuit filed by 52 people who claimed their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and assembly were violated as they targeted two shipping companies with contracts tied to the war in Iraq.

"What we've done is create a comprehensive policy that really provides a much more sensible, reasoned approach to managing demonstrations and crowds," said Rachel Lederman of the National Lawyers Guild in San Francisco.

Obviously, as Olsen's situation demonstrates, the Oakland Police did not adhere to the letter or spirit of the 2004 agreement on Tuesday night. Lederman told the San Francisco Chronicle that when the policy was negotiated, "these projectile weapons are very dangerous. It was only a matter of luck that someone wasn't killed on April 7, 2003, in Oakland. That's what we're trying to prevent."

Lederman is referring to a 2003 Oakland police riot against anti-Iraq war demonstrators that resulted in the serious wounding of many protesters. In fact, according to ThinkProgress, "the demonstrators were not without recourse. They took the city to court, and Oakland eventually awarded $2 million to 58 demonstrators for police abuses."

You would think that after signing an agreement and paying out taxpayer money to "compensate" for abusive police practices, the Oakland Police Department would learn how to behave in a civilized fashion when dealing with people exercising their First Amendment rights.

Meanwhile, the Oakland School Board voted on Wednesday night, this week, to close five elementary schools, in large part due to budget constraints. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Oakland school district officials say that the school closings will save about $2 million a year, about what the Oakland Police Department paid out to protesters it abused in 2003.

OAKLAND / Agreement reached on crowd-control tactics

Oakland police will no longer indiscriminately use wooden or rubber bullets, Taser stun guns, pepper spray and motorcycles to break up crowds, under an agreement announced Friday.

The changes followed criticism and lawsuits against police for their tactics at a large demonstration against the Iraq war outside the Port of Oakland on April 7, 2003.

The new policy settles part of a federal class-action lawsuit filed by 52 people who claimed their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and assembly were violated as they targeted two shipping companies with contracts tied to the war in Iraq.
