CORRUPTION SUCKS BLOG

By Lauren Booth, The Guardian – 2 June 2010 www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jun/02/palestinian-territories-gaza I was a passenger on the first effort to break the Gaza blockade. Our mission was to show that normal people cared. Since the military attack on a fleet of civilian ships in international waters, Israel ’s well oiled spin machine has imposed a total news blackout about the survivors, taking their phones and denying them access to consular representation. The void has instead been filled with disinformation about the passengers on board the Mavi Marmara ferry. For those of us with colleagues and loved ones of whom we still have no clear news, such lies only exacerbate our anxiety and fury. So, before I have to read another weasel word from politicians about inquiries into the motives of the flotilla, let me shed some light on the kind of people either hospitalized or being illegally held in prisons in the south of the country.

This might get me killed but I feel like standing up for something that's worth dying for. I'll speak for those who are too scared or too uneducated to address public corruption... I usually don't make political tracks but it seems like ever since Obama won,  state government has gone crazy in the red states.Gov of Texas wants to secede...like make their own country (probably so they can legalize slavery). Arizona wants to pull over anyone who looks Mexican and Arkansas' Local Police force is out of control! I haven't seen a video on the net yet where a cop knew he was on camera and still uses a racial slur. WE NEED TO STAND UP!! D.EZ

via Arkansas Times: 2nd Dist. Dem runoff: Robbie Wills plays the God-guns-abortion card in a mailer attacking Joyce Elliott. Our readers don't like it a bit .     Neither do I . It's posted on this syndicated site : http://www.corruptionsucks.blogspot.com/ Wills Campaign Gets Ugly Against Joyce Elliott May 29th, 2010 By jsamuel : Blue Arkansas Blog A reader sent us a mailer sent out by the Robbie Wills campaign attempting to slime Joyce Elliott. Essentially, it attacks her for having the gull to support a woman’s right to choose, restricting gun rights, outlawing prayer in schools, and being ineffective in office. Let’s look at each of these issues and the support provided by the mailer… How could any self respecting Democrat be pro-choice?! (*sarcasm*)  On gun rights, the Wills campaign cites no votes and provides no support for the accusation besides the NRA. Look, I am pro-2nd amendment, but I really don’t l

Facts The decision itself involved five consolidated cases coming from different lower courts in which African-Americans had sued theaters, hotels and transit companies that had refused them admittance or excluded them from "white only" facilities. [ edit ] Decision of the Court The Court, in a decision by Justice  Joseph P. Bradley , held that the language of the  14th Amendment , which prohibited denial of equal protection by a state, did not give Congress power to regulate these private acts. The Court also acknowledged that the  13th Amendment  does apply to private actors, but only to the extent that it prohibits people from owning slaves, not exhibiting discriminatory behavior. The Court said that "it would be running the slavery argument into the ground to make it apply to every act of discrimination which a person may see fit to make as to guests he will entertain, or as to the people he will take into his coach or cab or car; or admit to his con

Israeli commandos storm aid flotilla; 9 killed By AMY TEIBEL and TIA GOLDENBERG, Associated Press Writers     JERUSALEM – Israeli naval commandos stormed a flotilla of ships carrying aid and hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists to the blockaded  Gaza Strip  on Monday, killing nine passengers in a botched raid that provoked international outrage and a diplomatic crisis. Dozens of activists and six Israeli soldiers were wounded in the bloody predawn confrontation in  international waters . The violent takeover dealt yet another blow to Israel's international image, already tarnished by war crimes accusations in  Gaza  and its 3-year-old blockade of the impoverished Palestinian territory. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhayu  canceled a much-anticipated meeting with  President Barack Obama  in Washington on Tuesday in a sign of just how

Haiti police slaughtered inmates in prison: report  May 23, 8:46 pm ET A ccording to a confidential UN report and testimony of former inmates, prison workers and relatives of the deceased, the daily said the prisoners were not armed at the time, were made to lie down and were shot. WASHINGTON (AFP) – Haitian police killed several unarmed inmates in a prison in Les Cayes, one week after the January 12 earthquake, and blamed the massacre on a prison ringleader,  The New York Times reported after investigating the deaths. Police said they found the bodies after storming the prison to quell a riot and blamed the murders on a ringleader, identified as Ti Mousson, who they claim shot fellow inmates who refused to join him in fleeing the compound. Mousson is now at large, the daily said. The alleged police massacre took place one week after the earthquake that devastated  Port-au-Prince  and its surroundings killing as many as 300,000 people, but left Les C

Eric Holder remains quiet over brutality by Detroit police Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy Photo - AP  Anthony Bouchard - Cheyenne Government Examiner Attorney General Eric holder was in Detroit for a ground breaking ceremony for a civil rights center at Wayne State University. Ironically Holder, widely critical about the treatment of Terrorists  isn’t saying a word  about the killing of a seven year old girl that was needlessly shot by the police during a raid. The little girl was sleeping at the time the police broke down the door and came in shooting. The girl, Aiyana Jones was hit in the head and neck and later died at the Hospital. A&E had been shadowing the Detroit Police filming TV footage when the raid went bad.  According to an AP report  – Geoffrey Fieger the family’s Attorney said "the video shows an officer lobbing the [flash] grenade and then shooting into the home from th
