He was nearly killed in a horrific roadside accident, and now a jogger is furious at the wise-cracking cops who mocked him as he clung to life.
Lying in a pool of his own blood after being hit by a truck, Seattle man Tim Nelson had blacked out when first responders arrived.
One officer was operating under the mantra of 'to serve and disrespect' as he remarked to a colleague: 'That's why you drive a car.
'Don't jog to work you dumb f***!'
This is also because brutality like this will inevitably get caught on cell cameras, go viral around the world, and make the Chinese government look like a consummate bully in terms of how they treat their citizens.
I am certain that the social justice groups in China are just as concerned about the wealth disparity between corrupt party officials and their minions as are members of the Occupy movement here in the US, and elsewhere.
Notice her husband's title: he was a counter-narcotics chief who was conveniently detained for just the time it took to assassinate his wife, then released after the hit team had done its job.
One has to wonder: was this man doing his job perhaps too well, and was this a warning to him to back off?!?
Since the US/NATO invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, opium production has soared. After 10 years of US-led war in Afghanistan, the country remains the world’s leading opium supplier, responsible for 90 percent of the global supply, according to the United Nations.
And to those of you still in denial about US military involvement in the trafficking of drugs, perhaps you should see this!
The following photos were released by the DoD and NATO over the last month.
Notice that none of these soldiers appear to be involved in any kind of eradication efforts whatsoever.
Please, don't panic....yet. But do have a sensible, workable plan.
If it is possible, place some of your assets into physical silver and gold.
Make sure every time you go to a "big box" store, that you buy extra durable goods. Have critical medications you and your family - and your pets - may need stockpiled.
Have communications devices which are not dependent on cell-phones. A couple of good two-way radios can be a good investment.
Think about how you will defend your home, if need be. Police are only good for cleaning up a mess after a crime; not preventing it.
If you need to meet in an emergency, make sure the family knows how to get back together, and how to get the heck out of Dodge, if you need to.
Apparently, Obama has signed this Defense Authorization Bill yesterday, right before he leaves (most probably today) for his 17 day Christmas vacation.
I never realized how deeply and thoroughly Obama loathes the Constitution and Bill of Rights until Carl Levin let slip that it was Obama himself insisting on the language for indefinite detention in this defense appropriation!!
No true defender of civil liberties would ever, ever called for such language in this bill.
Is having peaceful, logical, and reasoned arguments with various US domestic and foreign policies now considered as "belligerent acts"?!?
Right now, I wouldn't bet against it.
During which it can be invested or applied against the reserve requirements of whatever bank PayPal uses to store this "pending" money. So, $2000 per client with almost 2000 known clients is about $4 million in interest-free money for a ninety day period.
Yeah, I could see why there might be a class-action lawsuit here, especially given PayPal's "prior indiscretions".
The stunning revelation from our nation’s premiere investigative reporter, Seymour Hersh, that Vice President Dick Cheney was running an “executive assassination ring” directly under his control and outside of the normal chain of command has raised the specter that the Vice President of the United States may have been murdering Americans.
None of the objectives for this war were achieved because they were never achievable. We spilled the blood of our children across the sands of Iraq for nothing, and now we are being asked to leave.
I don't see any victory here, Mr. McCain. I don't see any gains at all worth the loss of any more young Americans.
This is a definite and deliberate attempt to destroy the middle class in this country, because protest against oppressive government generally begins in the middle class.
The Bush administration landed a sucker punch to the guts of the Constitution and Bill of Rights with the Patriot Act; however, when Obama signs the current Defense Authorization, including language enabling any President to have any citizen detained indefinitely without due process and charges being filed, he will be the man who will have absolutely destroyed every protection they used to afford ordinary citizens against a rapacious, out of control Federal Government.
This provision completely negates the Constitution and Bill of Rights in ways which would have astounded, terrified, and disgusted the founding Fathers of this Republic.
The United States of America is dead. The alleged US Federal government now stands before its citizens, and the world, as a rogue, immoral, and non-representational entity, caring for only a few if its elites, and throwing the rest of its citizens under the proverbial bus.
Sir, you have not a leg to stand on in 2012. And looking at the Republican slate of candidates (with the exception of Ron Paul) all I can say is, the lesser of two evil is still...evil.
According to a spokesperson for Mexican president Felipe Calderon, Mexico’s government was left in the dark about a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration drug money laundering scheme that allegedly facilitated the transfer of millions of dollars to Mexican drug cartels.
The program was similar to Operation Fast and Furious in that the U.S. Department of Justice, under Attorney General Eric Holder, was allegedly furnishing narcotics traffickers with laundered drug proceeds in an attempt to discern how those funds would move, and to whom.
Should the US, NATO and/or Israel intervene in Syria, as a back-door way of starting an invasion of Iran (because these two countries have a mutual defense pact), Russia may well intervene militarily on the part of both countries.
This conflict, with a nuclear-armed Russia, may well go far beyond regional, and literally exploding into a nuclear world war.
Is such a war worth it, and particularly from a standpoint of the American people?!? 
I have to say, not at all. We would simply be attacking a country with no nuclear weapons whatsoever, simply because Israel has declared Iran to be its existential threat in the region, now that Iraq has been "neutralized", with American blood and American money.
They were:
Henry Kissinger
James Schlessinger
Eliot Cohen
Paul Wolfowitz
Douglas Feith
Kenneth Adelman
James Woolsey
ANNNNNNDDDDD
Memo to Dr. Alan Dershowitz: since its transformation in 1979 to an Islamic republic, Iran hasn't started a war with anyone. One certainly cannot say that about Israel.
The IAEA's most current inspection of the Iranian nuclear energy program have demonstrated, incontrovertibly, that absolutely no nuclear materials have gone missing. The alleged "smoking gun" is simply not there.
Alan, this country (of which I believe you are still a citizen), has been broken, economically and morally, with the current 
pre-emptive wars going horrendously badly.
The American people, having been fed the lies about Saddam Hussein having had WMDs to start the war against Iraq, are therefore sick and tired of the US military's being used to "neutralize" all of Israel's alleged existential threats in the Middle East, and that apparently means all of its neighbors.
We've had it, sir, and I would suggest that if Israel really wants to bomb Iran, that it does it without American help; because a nuclear-armed Russia just might come down militarily on the side of the Iranians. And, as logical humans understand clearly, a war with Russia is a really, really bad idea for the US to attempt to pursue.
Rick Perry's new anti-gay Iowa commercial is raising a general uproar and causing a major rift in both the campaign staff and the gay Republican community.
Sam Stein at the Huffington Post reports that Perry's top pollster Tony Fabrizio was against airing the TV spot, calling it "nuts" in an email to GOP operative Nelson Warfield, who was behind the ad.
The commercial, which criticizes gays in the military, reportedly raised serious objections among several Perry campaign aides, some of whom have ties to pro-gay rights conservative groups. Fabrizio himself has done polling for the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay conservative group. Those concerns were ultimately overruled by Warfield and other campaign strategists
This hardly seems a time the U.S. would be willing to allow people to cross the border legally from Mexico without a customs officer in sight. But in this rugged, remote West Texas terrain where wading across the shallow Rio Grande undetected is all too easy, federal authorities are touting a proposal to open an unmanned port of entry as a security upgrade.
By the spring, kiosks could open up in Big Bend National Park allowing people from the tiny Mexican town of Boquillas del Carmen to scan their identity documents and talk to a customs officer in another location, at least 100 miles away.
This week it was revealed that a 5th generation state of the art (it does not officially exist yet) US reconnaissance drone was stolen, I mean captured, by the Iranians.
How did this happen and what is the big deal?? An unmanned drone flying at 50,000 feet invisible to radar and undetectable, so how was it stolen??
I think the drone is actually in worse shape than the Iranians are letting on, but the real joke is how the US is trying to imply that the Iranians just built this thing from a Japanese model kit to embarrass the US.
When the United States supported carving off a chunk of it to create a nation called "Israel" for the descendants of central-Asian Khazars who felt they were in danger from a government that did not exist any longer to occupy, all justified by some ancient writings that says an invisible man in the clouds wants then to have first crack at all of life’s blessings, and by the way the Earth is flat, rests on pillars, and does not move.
Finally, dear Newt, please shut the fuck up, because your total ignorance of history is a major embarrassment to the entire nation. Newt just wants a huge crisis he can stand in the middle of and look good, like a firebug who burns down a building so he can be seen afterwards caring for the wounded!
Fantasizing about disasters that one can appear to be a hero during is usually something people grow out of at age 9 or 10, but Newt seems to live for the day millions are devastated and must look to him for salvation!
Newt is a nut!
Is this the best the GOP can come up with to block Ron Paul from the nomination?
I frankly would have substituted the word "furious" for "stung" in that last paragraph.
And by the way, with a 15 trillion dollar indebtedness; its infrastructure in ruins; it homeless Veterans sleeping in its streets, and a general population careening into poverty (especially among its children) what the sam hill is the US government doing loaning money to the IMF?!?
The answer is very simple; because if the European banks go down, that will drag the US "too big to fail" banks right along with them, absolutely collapsing the US economy
And we all remember what happened in the 20s, right?
A great depression, followed by a world war.
Sound familiar, in terms of the trajectory of current events?
Thought so.
