Like living in an undeclared war zone... Police homicides have gone too far in the states and it's not restricted to one state it's a nation wide problem!

On Saturday we heard reports that a 12 year old boy had been shot down by Cleveland police. The police were phoned when a 911 call about a "man" with a gun that was "probably fake". During the call the caller added "i don't know if it's real or not". As we understand it the police officer who shot the boy was not informed by dispatch that the gun could be in fact a "fake" this one mistake led to the death of Tamir Rice. But on the back of the Michael Brown case this along with many other incidents of people having been gunned down by cops shows a clear underlying problem that is not restricted to one state or county. In the states the police do not track how many people have been killed at the hands of the police. The FBI keep track of what they label as "justifiable" police homicides which they report to be in and around 400 per year! This is an under count. The Facebook page 'Killed by police' has been keeping track of police killings. There tally listed more than 1,450 deaths caused by law-enforcement officers since the pages launch on May 1, 2013. That works out at around 3 people dieing per day at the hands of law enforcement. The page doesn’t claim that this is a comprehensive count, but it could be useful — like the count from the FBI’s annual Supplementary Homicide Report is useful — for setting a baseline number of police killings, as long as important caveats are acknowledged. Note: Not all posts are visible on the Killed By Police page because of a Facebook algorithm, Every link can be found in https://docs.google.com/a/fivethirtyeight.com/spreadsheets/d/1WwVDP8anxtQm-6C2g7pjmZkS_jdSomM7UDMonIX0b6k/edit?usp=sharing

The Continuation Of Military Use By U.S. Armed Forces And CIA Needs To Be Brought To An End In Ireland

Some may not already know this but for well over a decade armed forces of the U.S. have been using Shannon Airport as a stop off point before continuing on to their bastions in Europe and the Middle East, Indeed Ireland itself is becoming one of these bastions, well over 2 million U.S. troops have passed through Ireland to fight illegal wars and conflicts around the world. Not only is Shannon being used as a staging post for the U.S. armed forces but is also being used for operations associated with the CIA and its 'extraordinary rendition program' The use of Shannon Airport by U.S. forces means Ireland is complicit and has been complicit in these conflicts which has seen millions of innocent men women and children perish, from Iraq to Afghanistan to Libya, this list is endless. This is a stain on the Irish nation and it needs to be addressed, of course we have had many people who have stood up and have even went to jail trying to highlight this most well known being 79 year old peace activist Margaretta D'Arcy, in which during her trial she tried to make a citizens arrest of the judge for collaborating in war crimes. D'Arcy was also convicted in 2012 for peacefully opposing the use of Shannon airport by U.S. military by blocking two flights from landing at Shannon. At the time of the protest, Galway Alliance Against War issued the following statement. Over the past twelve years consecutive Irish governments have colluded in Washington’s campaign of wars from Afghanistan to Yemen, in which up to 2 million people have perished. By allowing the US military to use Irish airspace and Shannon airport to wage these wars we have become a willing accessory to mass murder. We have blood on our hands…we feel we have no alternative but to block the runway at Shannon to highlight Irish involvement in this carnage. Not only is the complicity of Ireland in these wars immoral it is in violation of aviation, human rights and international law. In a Booklet 'Shannon Airport, War and Renditions' which was jointly published by Shannonwatch, The Peace And Neutrality Alliance(PANA) and The Irish Anti-War Movement(IAWM) highlights these violations... The booklet outlines four key areas in which the Irish authorities are deemed to be inefficient: The application of aviation law in relation to the transportation of munitions of war and other explosive substances Suspected breaches of international and European human rights law, as well as domestic Irish law, in relation to known and suspected involvement in rendition Possible breaches of international humanitarian law Policy and practice relating to the concept of Irish neutrality In 2011 alone a total 1,142 'Civilian Planes' with munitions on board landed at Shannon airport this was revelad in answer to a question posed by Sinn Fein TD Padraig Mac Lochlainn Shannonwatch, the organization which monitors foreign military use of Shannon airport and campaigns against it, said the figures “make a mockery of the notion of Irish neutrality”. On its website, a spokesperson is quoted as saying: “Like Kuwait and Kyrgyzstan, Ireland and Shannon have now become staging posts for US invasions and occupation. “The figures make a mockery of the notion of Irish neutrality, and show that successive governments have relinquished all interest in maintaining an independent Irish foreign policy.” John Lannon, the booklet’s author, says the use of Shannon Airport has contributed to suffering and human rights abuse for over a decade: “The consistent disregard for national and international laws has meant that Shannon has been directly involved in the suffering and death of innocent people – from men tortured in Guantanamo Bay, to children in Afghanistan who are injured or orphaned by airstrikes and roadside bombs.” These operations being carried out are not sanctioned by the Irish people but of a few who are in the back pockets of the U.S. and E.U. whatever the puppet masters say goes, but there is only so far you can push a people before they begin to rise and this is what we may very well be seeing in Ireland today. End Ireland's Complicity In These Crimes Against Humanity Now Ireland Says NO!

The People Are Rising It's About Time The Political Elite Listen...

Back in 2012 spokeswoman for Environment minister Phil Hogan confirmed that over 300,000 households would have fixed water charges, she continued saying up to 90% of households, which can be metered, will be metered by the end of 2014 at a cost of 500m Euros, Of tax payers money. Along with the huge price tag for the installation of these meters Taoiseach Enda Kenny revealed that the expected annual bill for water would be around 240 Euros, with a standing charge of 50 Euros. People have already been paying for these water taxes. We are now seeing nation wide movements of the people against the installation of the water meters along with the charges forced upon them, with daily protests and demonstrations from Cork to Dundalk, along with the sometimes heavy handed tactics of the Garda Siochana and even the workers themselves striking out at protestors. It's encouraging to see that grass roots movements are growing faster than ever before in opposition to Austerity, Bank Bailouts, the wholesale of our nations national resources, it's crucial that people show their anger towards the status quo, turning a blind eye is not an option anymore... The installations have not been going as planned it would seem as workers struggle to install anywhere, everywhere Irish water go the Irish people will be found, in opposition, those in power don't care one bit about the people, those in power see themselves as accountable to no one, this is what will come to bite them as the anger simmers it will get to the point the people will say enough is enough and get rid of these traitors. The people see this charge for a basic human right as a scandal and rightfully so. Tomorrow 11/10/2014 people will gather in Dublin from all over Ireland in what will be one of the largest national demonstrations in decades in opposition to the immoral and unfair taxation of water, if you can get there you should it's time to fight back as a nation...
