Guilty verdict in G8 Carnival Case

10-06-2006 08:24

A G8 demonstrator was found guilty of Breach of the Peace and fined £300 at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on 8th June – despite numerous mistakes, contradictions and omissions in the identification evidence by the police witnesses. The demonstrator had been arrested after being penned into Canning Street for around six hours during the Carnival for Full Enjoyment.
Sheriff McColl stated that she believed the two policemen were credible witnesses – although no-one could explain why not one frame of film shot by the countless police and media cameras present in that confined space had captured the accused charging the police lines, as described by Merseyside PCs Grant and Keith.

Interestingly, the reason for the police tactics of mass detention on that day was openly stated – both police witnesses said that the police had decided to cordon and detain the crowd of 200 plus demonstrators NOT because of anything the demonstrators had done, or were doing – but purely to stop them joining up with other groups of demonstrators in the city centre.

Enough about Ann Coulter: Answer the Jersey Girls 911 Questions

09-06-2006 18:42

Coulter justifies her horrendous, hateful work (and we justfy when we know what we are engaged in is wrong) by saying that these women belong to a group so sacrosanct, that the Hard Right cannot respond to their criticism.

Then, rather than responding to their criticism, Coulter Slanders the lot, and ignores their criticism altogether, in order to Distract (Disinformation) with this sensationalized BS.

Apologise or we'll cut your funding, US envoy tells UN

09-06-2006 18:25

"Placate us, or we'll take away your reason to!"

Proving the UN's point, Bolton and his PNAC overlords have completely manipulated the UN's criticism of the US Government/Media alliance, telling the American public it was a direct attack upon them all.

Look for the UN to become "irrelevant" in the US once again ...

UNREPORTED: THE ZARQAWI INVITATION

09-06-2006 18:21

This assumes, of course, that Zarqawi was ever even IN Iraq, which remains unsupported by compelling evidence. Since such evidence was being demanded by much of the media and several governments - after the Pentagon was forced to admit it had manipulated the Zarqawi myth - this 'strike' seems like a prudent move to end the whole PsyOps program before being exposed as a fraud.

Note that nobody within the media points out that the only source for the claims are the same people who LIED their way into a deadly and illegal war. And sorry, a body wouldn't look as good as the one the US has trotted out as "proof", after having such a piece of ordinance dropped directly on it.

Dead? Who created the story of Al Zarqawi?

09-06-2006 11:22

It's probably a surprise for many, but this most sought after terrorist, al Zarqawi, was never on the FBI's list of the '10 Most wanted'. Nor on the FBI's list of 'most wanted terrorists'. ('Links' below) - With a reward of $25 million - like Osama bin Laden - on his head? Didn't they want him?
