A while back I posted an article called Kim Jong Il Should Die. Well, guess what. I still think so. And here is another hour long video showing just how terrible this monster and his whole regime is.

Nothing in the video makes me more sick than at the 43:00 minute mark. A doctor has voluntarily performed vision surgery on 1,000 patients, and after a lady’s bandages are removed and she can see, she is forced to thank “the Great General” for her vision. This is before she can even rejoice at the fact she’s regained her vision.

A string of these follows, and when you watch it, it’s sickening. Why doesn’t someone assassinate this son of a bitch? They would be the greatest hero in that nation’s history!

From the BBC:

Fresh clashes have broken out between police and protesters in Athens and other cities, after a night of rioting triggered by the police shooting dead a youth.

Greek authorities say the shooting took place after youths attacked a police car with stones and petrol bombs.

Two police officers have been arrested in connection with the killing of the teenager.

So, just to interpret for you guys, some cops get attacked by a huge group of “students”. These youth are actually anarchists. (And I mean that, politically speaking. There are a bunch of moronic teenagers who think that Anarchy is cool.) But back to the story… the kids are stoning the cops and throwing Molotov cocktails, and one of the cops actually shoots a student.

From the Associated Press:

Mass. man ticketed on a gridlocked highway while wife in labor on way to hospital
Dec 5, 2008

(BOSTON) A man in Massachusetts is appealing a $100 ticket he got for driving to a hospital in the breakdown lane of a gridlocked Boston highway while his wife was in labor. John Davis of Dracut says his wife Jennifer’s contractions were three minutes apart on Nov. 18 when a state trooper pulled them over for using the breakdown lane.

The couple says the trooper made them wait five to 10 minutes while he wrote a ticket for another car on Route 2, asked to see Jennifer’s belly to prove her pregnancy, then issued them a ticket.

The couple made it to Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge. Their daughter was born five hours later.

State police say no discipline is likely for the trooper.

I sure would love to see one of Colby Jones’ cartoons about this one!

I’ve written several times about Taser abuse, but this one takes the cake. I mean seriously, this cannot be explained.

An unarmed 16 year old boy laying on the ground, below a 30 foot overpass, with a broken back and a broken foot muttering incoherently is tasered 19 times by police in Missouri. Their excuse:

“He refused to comply with the officers and so the officers had to deploy their Tasers in order to subdue him. He is making incoherent statements; he’s also making statements such as, ‘Shoot cops, kill cops,’ things like that. So there was cause for concern to the officers,” said Ozark Police Capt. Thomas Rousset.

So, let’s imagine how this went down shall we?

Boy with broken back: Lays on ground, immobile.
Cop: Get up.
Boy with broken back: mumble, mumble
Cop: Get up or I’ll Tase you.
Boy with broken back: You’re a cop, please don’t shoot me or I’ll probably die.
Cop: Did you say something about killing cops? Well, here’s a little something for ya…

Here is more evidence that police officers become lazy and trigger happy as soon as you put a Taser on their belt.

Some kid gets all pissed off at work, and is ranting and raving at his boss. Which is undoubtedly wrong. So, I suppose they called the cops. When the officer, who from the video looks to be a LOT bigger than the kid, shows up what does he do? Shoots him with a Taser right in the chest from 4 feet away – then proceeds to shock him until he’s dead.

I mean seriously, 37 seconds? That means, you can’t breath, swallow, think, or control your muscles for over half a minute. In the film, Dr. Joe Koons from UNCC’s Department of Criminal Justice comments:

“I wouldn’t want to be tased for 37 seconds, I can assure you of that. It’s a lengthy period of time.”

This video called “Welcome to North Korea” by Peter Tetteroo and Raymond Feddema was the winner of the 2001 International Emmy award for Best Documentary and is a perfect follow up to my previous post, Kim Jong Il Should Die.

Things you’ll learn from this video:

• It’s illegal for a citizen to look a foreigner in the eye in North Korea.
• Music from loudspeakers wake the entire city of Pyongyang up at 7am every morning.
• Elderly people and handicapped are shipped out of the city, or required to stay indoors.
• Confucianism makes people extremely deferential to authority and hierarchy.
• People boil tree bark and clay to put something in their stomachs.
• The CIA admits “we know next to nothing about what happens in this country.”

Kim Jong Il, the North Korean DICtator, should die – or at the very least be overthrown.

Why do I say this? Because no one in North Korea is allowed to. Oh, and because I think that he, and the entire regime that props him up, is a fascist pig on the same scale as Hitler. Hell, there are 200,000 political prisoners, and you can be jailed just for saying “I’m not so sure I like our dear leader.”

Here is the evidence. The following video comprises a CNN report called “North Korea Undercover in the Secret State“. Warning: this is NOT for children, and proves what Frederick Douglass said 150 years ago:

“Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.”

The video includes a number of hidden camera videos including actual public executions for helping people escape from North Korea, and depictions of the results of famine. Allowing Kim Jong Il and his criminal government to stay in power is the equivalent of allowing the mafia to own and control an entire country.

Folks, I’m neither a Democrat, nor a Republican. But my mom asked me to give her an unbiased, factual rundown on the political platforms – so what my mother wants, my mother gets! Here you go Mom…

I’m making the presumption that the two candidates who are going to actually be running for President are Barack Obama, and John McCain. So, below I’ve taken the liberty of narrowing down all the data to these two guys. What you need to do is line up as many of your political ideal matches and then you can rationally choose who you are voting for.

Although I can’t read a word of his blog, Fouah al-Farhan has been taken into custody by the Saudi government for posting some remarks critical of the government.

They are supposedly holding out for a written apology, so if indeed we do see one expect it to be completely bogus. I mean, lets face it. If someone arrests you for excercising free speech and then you apologize for doing so, you’re clearly lying through your teeth.

Those of you that are regulars can guess what I feel about this. Frankly I don’t care what country you live in, freedom of speech is the most basic human right. From it all other freedoms flow. In my opinion any government that decides it can no longer tolerate free speech is one that should be overthrown by the people – from whom all power is truly derived.

Sixteen of the world’s 20 most polluted cities are in China, according to World Bank research. Yet a report sponsored by the Chinese Government which uncovered potentially scary information was edited to “prevent social unrest”.

Missing from this report are the research project’s findings that high air-pollution levels in Chinese cities is leading to the premature deaths of 350,000-400,000 people each year. A further 300,000 people die prematurely each year from exposure to poor air indoors, according to advisers, but little discussion of this issue survived in the report because it was outside the ambit of the Chinese ministries which sponsored the research.

Another 60,000-odd premature deaths were attributable to poor-quality water, largely in the countryside, from severe diarrhea, and stomach, liver and bladder cancers.

The mortality information was “reluctantly” excised by the World Bank from the published report, according to advisers to the research project.

Sepa and the health ministry declined to comment. The World Bank said that the findings of the report were still being discussed with the government.

Mother Russia is hurting. And Garry Kasparov is taking the brunt of it.

On Saturday 11/24 while leading a peaceful march he was taken into custody, beaten, and jailed for 5 days. This is nothing new for Kasparov. Back in April he was beaten and arrested during a protest as well. The notable thing about that rally was that it was co-organized by Putin’s own former prime minister Mikhail M. Kasyanov.

Here is some breaking news. This video was only released yesterday, and it demonstrates a clear and frankly unbelievable abuse of power by a Utah Highway Patrol officer.

Some guy was pulled over for speeding and argued with the police officer a bit about the speed limit. It’s a bit hard to hear but it sounds to me like the guy was going about 60, but the highway speed limit changed to 40, and that is exactly where the cop pulled him over. I’m guessing it was a classic speed trap.

Anyway, the police officer writes him a ticket, which he refuses to sign, so the cop pulls him out of the car and tasers him. Meanwhile his pregnant wife is freaking out!
