SWAT LOBBY DEFENDS MILITARY WEAPONS TRANSFER PROGRAM TO LOCAL POLICE

SWAT Lobby Defends 

Military Weapons Transfer Program

EXCERPT:
"The National Tactical Officers Association, the lobbying group for 1,600 SWAT teams across the country, e-mailed all legislative staffers in the U.S. House and Senate this week, the Daily Beast reported, and assured the legislative aides that its members share "our nation's grief" over the rioting in Ferguson, Missouri. But the main message from the NTOA was a plea to protect the federal program that gives surplus military weapons and equipment to state and local police. The program has become subject of national debate, given the highly visible "warrior cop" image of police during the uprising in Ferguson."   

EX ST. LOUIS POLICE CHIEF ED DELMORE: "AN OPEN LETTER TO CAPTAIN RONALD S. JOHNSON" ABOUT HANDLING OF FERGUSON PROTESTS


 

An Open Letter to Captain Ronald S. Johnson

Sunday, August 17, 2014
Chief Ed Delmore 
I have to call you out.
I don’t care what the media says. I expect them to get it wrong and they often do. But I expect you as a veteran law enforcement commander—talking about law enforcement—to get it right.
Unfortunately, you blew it. After days of rioting and looting, last Thursday you were given command of all law enforcement operations in Ferguson by Governor Jay Nixon. St. Louis County PD was out, you were in. You played to the cameras, walked with the protestors and promised a kinder, gentler response. You were a media darling. And Thursday night things were better, much better.
But Friday, under significant pressure to do so, the Ferguson Police released the name of the officer involved in the shooting of Michael Brown. At the same time the Ferguson Police Chief released a video showing Brown committing a strong-arm robbery just 10 minutes before he was confronted by Officer Darren Wilson.
Many don’t like the timing of the release of the video. I don’t like that timing either. It should have been released sooner. It should have been released the moment FPD realized that Brown was the suspect.
Captain Johnson, your words during the day on Friday helped to fuel the anger that was still churning just below the surface. St. Louis County Police were told to remain uninvolved and that night the rioting and looting began again. For much too long it went on mostly unchecked. Retired St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch tweeted that your “hug-a-looter” policy had failed.
Boy did it.
And your words contributed to what happened Friday night and on into the wee hours of Saturday. According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, you said the following regarding the release of the video: “There was no need to release it,” Johnson said calling the reported theft and the killing entirely different events.
Well Captain, this veteran police officer feels the need to respond. What you said is, in common police vernacular—bullshit. The fact that Brown knew he had just committed a robbery before he was stopped by Officer Wilson speaks to Brown’s mindset. And Captain, the mindset of a person being stopped by a police officer means everything, and you know it.
Let’s consider a few examples:
On February 15, 1978 Pensacola Police Officer David Lee conducted a vehicle check. He didn’t know what the sole occupant of the vehicle had recently done, but the occupant did. Who was he? Serial killer Ted Bundy. Bundy attempted to disarm Lee. Lee was able to retain his firearm and eventually took Bundy into custody.
On April 19, 1995 Oklahoma State Trooper Charlie Hangar stopped a vehicle for minor traffic violations. He didn’t know that 90 minutes earlier the traffic violator, Timothy McVeigh, killed 168 people with a truck bomb at the Murrah Federal Building. But McVeigh sure knew it, didn’t he? Fortunately, given his training and experience Hangar was able to take McVeigh into custody for carrying a concealed firearm. It was days later before it was determined that McVeigh was responsible for the bombing.
On May 31, 2003 then-rookie North Carolina police officer, Jeff Postell, arrested a man digging in a trash bin on a grocery store parking lot—an infraction that would rise to about the level of jaywalking. Postell didn’t know that he had just captured Eric Rudolph, the man whom years earlier had killed and injured numerous people with bombs and was on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list.
So now, let’s consider Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson’s stop of Michael Brown. Apparently Wilson didn’t know that Brown had just committed a strong-arm robbery. But Brown did! And that Captain, is huge.
Allegedly, Brown pushed Wilson and attempted to take Wilson’s gun. We’re also being told that Officer Wilson has facial injuries suffered during the attempt by Brown to disarm him. Let’s assume for a moment those alleged acts by Brown actually occurred. Would Brown have responded violently to an officer confronting him about jaywalking? Maybe, but probably not.
Is it more likely that he would attack an officer believing that he was about to be taken into custody for a felony strong-arm robbery? Absolutely.
Officer Wilson survived the encounter with Brown as did Lee, Hangar, and Postell. Michael Brown didn’t survive and it’s too soon to say if Officer Wilson’s use of deadly force was justified and legal. You and I both know that not all officers survive such confrontations. Officers die in incidents like this Captain Johnson, including a couple that I remember from your own organization:
On April 15, 1985 Missouri Trooper Jimmie Linegar was shot and killed by a white supremacist he and his partner stopped at a checkpoint; neither Trooper Linegar nor his partner were aware that the man they had stopped had just been indicted by a federal grand jury for involvement in a neo-Nazi group accused of murder. The suspect immediately exited the vehicle and opened fire on him with an automatic weapon.
Just a month before, Missouri Trooper James M. Froemsdorf was shot and killed—with his own gun—after making a traffic stop. When the Trooper made that stop he didn’t know that the driver was wanted on four warrants out of Texas—But again the suspect knew it.
So Captain Johnson, I guess the mindset and recently committed crimes of the suspects that murdered those Missouri Troopers didn’t mean anything. The stops by the Troopers, as you have said, are entirely different events right?
Bullshit.

BILL HYBELS HOSTS MYSTIC MAMA MAGGIE GOBRAN: THE COPTIC "CHRISTIAN" MOTHER THERESA OF CAIRO~FACILITATES HERETICAL ACCEPTANCE OF UNIVERSALISM, CATHOLICISM, EASTERN MYSTICISM


CHANNELING THE SPIRIT WITH BILL HYBELS IN MYSTICAL SILENCE:
Mystic Mama Maggie Gobran, 

"The Coptic Christian Mother Theresa of Cairo" 

2011 Global Leadership Summit, 

Teaching the Heretical 

"Silence" of Contemplative Mysticism

QUOTE FROM WIKIPEDIA: Maggie Gobran or Mama Maggie, a Coptic Orthodox lady, is the founder and CEO of the non-profit charity Stephen's Children in Cairo, Egypt. She was also professor of computer science at the American University in Cairo, is married and has a son and a daughter. She was nominated to the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize.
Maggie Gobran, often referred to as the Mother Teresa of Cairo, is a Coptic Christian lady who once lived an affluent lifestyle sheltered from the poverty and misery, but who nevertheless experienced persecution as a Christian in Egypt. In 1989, she gave up her academic career to become a Coptic Orthodox Christian consecrated servant and set up the charity Stephen's Children, whose aim is improving the lives of the children of Christians and families living in Cairo's slum quarters and impoverished communities in rural Upper Egypt, who are constantly harassed and haunted because of their faith. She also offers help to impoverished Muslim and Bahá'í children.

Congressmen Nominate 'Mama Maggie' 

For Nobel Peace Prize


Feb 7, 2014
“Mama Maggie’s work seeks to lift these individuals out of poverty by providing them with the values, skills and education needed to become productive members of Egyptian society,” they wrote.  “In the more immediate term, Mama Maggie’s life and work provides these families and young people with a priceless commodity – hope.”



his is a woman who has dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the poor in Egypt and has often been referred to as the “Mother Teresa of Cairo.”  After years of working as a successful manager at a marketing firm and later as a professor of computer science, Ms. Gobran became inspired to chart a different course during a visit to the destitute neighborhoods of Cairo.  Mama Maggie founded Stephen’s Children in 1989, a ministry dedicated to serving the disenfranchised populations living in the city’s garbage slums and impoverished areas of Upper Egypt.  Ms. Gobran is a woman of the utmost integrity and her tireless work has served thousands of Egyptians, of every faith, including countless children. She has given a voice to the poorest of the poor.
Stephen’s Children serves all needy Egyptians, including Coptic Christians — a religious minority group that faces considerable persecution, discrimination and hardship — and disadvantaged Muslim children as well.  The Coptic Christian community is the largest religious minority in Egypt today.  In fact, it is the largest religious minority in the entire Middle East.  The Copts have faced difficulties from the Arab conquest of Egypt to the present.  In recent years they have begun leaving the country in droves in the face of increased marginalization and outright violence — part of a larger troubling trend throughout the region which finds ancient faith communities imperiled and vulnerable.  The most recent U.S. State Department report on international religious freedom found that, “While recognized and unrecognized religious minorities mostly worshiped without harassment, the government generally failed to prevent, investigate, or prosecute crimes against members of religious minority groups, especially Coptic Christians, which fostered a climate of impunity. In some cases, government authorities reacted slowly or with insufficient resolve while mobs attacked Christians and their property, or encouraged Christians to leave their homes.”  
Of the roughly 8 to 10 million Christians in Egypt, approximately half of them live in abject poverty.  The Zabbaleen, or “garbage people,” are Coptic Christians who have lived in the trash dumps for over a century.  The conditions of the slums are abhorrent.  Many families live in one room shacks without electricity, sewage systems, public transportation or medical care.  There is very little or no access to clean water and many are forced to scavenge for food.  These are the very people that Stephen’s Children and Ms. Gobran serve.
Coptic Orthodox herself, it is through her deep religious and moral commitment that Mama Maggie has succeeded in creating an organization that serves the most poor, desperate and vulnerable population of Egypt.  Since its founding in 1989, Stephen’s Children has rapidly expanded.  In 2013 the organization had 3 vocational centers, 90 clinics in 90 educational centers serving more than 18,600 children.  A remarkable 32,000 children and their families were served in 2013 alone.  Mama Maggie’s work seeks to lift these individuals out of poverty by providing them with the values, skills and education needed to become productive members of Egyptian society.  In the more immediate term Mama Maggie’s life and work provides these families and young people with a priceless commodity — hope.
Clothed entirely in white, Mama Maggie is almost an angelic presence in Egypt’s slums, embodying the virtues of generosity, gentleness and charity.  We are honored to submit this letter of nomination for Maggie Gobran, a woman whose humility and authenticity have led her to dedicate her life to helping the world’s poorest and most vulnerable.  We are hopeful that the Committee would agree that these are noble traits which transcend time and culture and are worthy of recognition.
Sincerely,
Members of Congress

BLACKWATER TYPE ASYMMETRIC GREEN BERET SPECIAL OPS REPLACE NATIONAL GUARD & HIGHWAY PATROL IN FERGUSON, MISSOURI

YOU MUST COMPLY!!!!

WILL FERGUSON MISSOURI BE PERPETUALLY OCCUPIED 
UNTIL EVERYONE BEHAVES ACCORDING TO 
THE WHIMS OF GOVERNMENT?

BREAKING: Special Ops Deployed to Ferguson:


Published on Aug 22, 2014
The events in Ferguson, Missouri are a harbinger of things to come. In addition to the deployment of National Guard troops and the heavy militarization of local and federal law enforcement agents in the area, it looks like private special operations contractors with experience in middle east war zones have been asked to help.
Their mission is not clear and no one in any official government capacity is saying anything. But according to a tweet from Asymmetric Solutions on Tuesday, private contractors have been requested in the Feguson/St. Louis area. The company is a division of Applied Defense Technologies, which employs ex-special operations members like Navy Seals, Army Rangers, and Delta Force operatives, often to high-risk theaters of war in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. http://www.infowars.com/report-spec-o...

DELAWARE DISTRIBUTING POTASSIUM IODIDE TO RESIDENTS NEAR SALEM, NJ NUCLEAR PLANT~"YOU CAN TRUST GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CARE OF YOU EVEN IN A MANUFACTURED EMERGENCY"

SALEM NEW JERSEY NUCLEAR PLANT 
ON THE DELAWARE RIVER/BAY
Delaware to Distribute 

Potassium Iodide Tablets 

at Three Locations This Summer

Date Posted: Tuesday, May 27th, 2014
(Smyrna) – The Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) and the Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) will distribute potassium iodide (KI) tablets free of charge on three dates this summer to Delaware residents who live within 10 miles of the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations.  KI tablets will be available to those who have received potassium iodide during previous distribution events, and those who have never received potassium iodide. The tablets to be distributed this year will replace the IOSAT 130 mg tablets set to expire beginning September 2014.
The distribution dates and locations are:
  • Thursday, June 5,  3 p.m. – 8 p.m., at Delaware City Fire Company, 815 5th Street, Delaware City
  • Thursday, July 31,  12 noon – 8 p.m., at Volunteer Hose Company, 27 W. Main Street, Middletown
  • Thursday, August 28,  9 a.m. – 4 p.m., at Appoquinimink State Service Center, 122 Silver Lake Road, Middletown
Delaware residents in the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ), defined as the 10-mile radius around the plant, received notification which was mailed on May 22nd.
KI tablets were supplied to Delaware when the state chose to participate in a program initiated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The tablets are offered to all states with populations living within a 10-mile radius of a nuclear power facility.
Potassium iodide does not protect against external radiation, but it can help protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine that may be released in the event of a radiation emergency and could be ingested or inhaled.  Potassium iodide is a supplement to Delaware’s existing emergency plans developed for use in a nuclear incident.  Evacuation remains the primary method of protecting Delaware residents; the potassium iodide offers additional protection.
In the event of a radiation emergency, state and local officials will inform the public through use of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio stations. Information will include directions to evacuation routes and emergency reception centers, and instructions on when to take the potassium iodide tablets.
All Delaware residents who live within the 10-mile EPZ, and those who work or own businesses within 10 miles of the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations in New Jersey are eligible for free potassium iodide tablets. They are asked to assist in the distribution efforts by following the guidelines included in the May 22ndinformational mailing.
Those eligible for potassium iodide are asked to bring the informational flyer they received in the mail, photo identification such as a driver’s license, or proof of residency, such as a utility bill. Potassium Iodide that has passed the expiration date should be brought when eligible recipients pick up new tablets.
People residing outside of the ten-mile radius of the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations and who would like to obtain potassium iodide should contact their pharmacist. Potassium iodide is available over the counter in many local pharmacies.
For additional information regarding the potassium iodide distribution program in Delaware, call the Delaware Emergency Management Agency Radiological Emergency Planning section at 302-659-3362.

(Friday Church News Notes, August 22, 2014,www.wayoflife.orgfbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - There is Christian liberty in communist China. You must register your activities with the government, and you are then at liberty to do whatever the government allows. This is exactly where America has arrived. The American government has confiscated and sold church buildings, torn down crosses and Ten Commandment monuments, forbade Bible reading and prayer in public schools, forbade teaching against homosexuality and evolution in government places, and in a hundred other ways harassed God’s people in the practice of their faith. And it is not President Obama’s fault. He is merely a popularly elected official who is doing what he promised to do. The root of America’s ills is the apostasy and compromise in the churches in general and in the pulpits in particular. The problem lies at the doorsteps of those who call themselves Christians, and only a revival will bring substantive change. The following is excerpted from “China Tears Down Church,” Breitbart.com, May 21, 2014: “China has responded to the fast-growing Christian population in Zhejiang province by destroying churches in bunches. The latest victims are the congregation of Xiaying Holy Love Christians at a ten-story megachurch. The Christian community said Communist officials ordered them to leave the premises immediately following a visiting politician’s orders. The politician was apparently offended by the size of the cross on the roof of the building. ‘They told us the cross was too shiny, too tall and too big. At first they asked us to put it on the wall. We refused. Now they have told us they will tear the church down,’ said a member of the church. Local sources said the last service at the church took place on May 11. ... ‘The demolition work has already started. I have seen churchgoers around here crying,’ said a local resident. According to the U.S. State Department’s International Religious Freedom Report on China, the government considers several Christian groups it does not officially recognize to be ‘evil cults.’ The only official Christian groups recognized by the State are the Three-Self Patriotic Movement, China Christian Council (Protestant), and the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association.”
