Jesse Ventura's Banned FEMA Camps Episode

The following is an episode of Jesse Ventura's television show Conspiracy Theory. This episode only aired once before it was pulled from circulation on television. The episode is repeatedly scrubbed off of YouTube. It is presented here as one of the few places where you can still see it.

The topic of the episode are the so-called "FEMA Camps" and government "fusion centers."

Brown Shooting a Psyop?

It's a funny thing about people who are being brainwashed. They don't know it, and will therefore argue to the death with you that it never happened. Now if you ask someone if they think the media brainwashes Americans, almost anyone would answer yes, absolutely. Yet when you show someone an example of it happening, a psyop, they will tell you that you are nuts. Let's have a look at this case.

It now looks like the Michael Brown shooting has turned out to be another psysop perpetrated by the mainstream media, for the purposes of social conditioning.

The police are out of control in this country, I will not argue that. There are hundreds of cases I can think of off the top of my head that show that. Yet none of those cases sparked the outrage we have seen in the wake of the shooting death of Michael Brown.

For the past several days the dead man has been portrayed in the media in the most positive light, with pictures of him holding babies and so forth. leading most folks to conclude that this might very well have been an outright street execution of an innocent citizen at the hands of a thug cop. Sadly enough, this is quite possible in our so-called land of the free.

But something about this case didn't quite set right with me from the start. The rush to judgement before any of the facts were in for one thing. Just because the police shoot someone, does not necessarily mean that a shooting is not justified. Even in a city or police department where abuses of power have been reported in the past. Then I observed how the case took off like wildfire in the media.

Today, the case has suddenly taken a 180-degree turn. Instead of a picture of a young man holding a baby or looking like your average college student, a photo emerged today of him pointing a pistol at a camera with a wad of cash stuffed in his mouth. Straight thug mode. Of course, one picture doesn't really prove or disprove anything. We all probably have a few stupid pictures out there that wouldn't make us look very good if it happened to wind up splashed by the media spotlight. Just the same though, it really gave me pause today when I saw it, and hooked into that uneasy feeling I had been having about the case from the start.

The real bombshell now though, is the latest report indicating that Brown may have been the perpetrator of a strong-arm robbery which the officer had been responding to. This seriously damages the theory that Brown was just some innocent person caught up in senseless violence by police.

But how does this make it a psyop you ask? Well, look at the net result here.

The media chose to run with the ball so to speak, and hype up this story to national, even international levels. This created a whirlwind of emotions and opinions by Americans. Thousands of people as late as yesterday turned out to clog city streets across the nation to protest the shooting. But today, the story essentially got its legs cut off by the revelation that the supposed victim, was probably a criminal and that the shooting might very well have been justified after all. The net result, is two-fold.

First, there will be the "I told you so" crowd who will use this case as an example from now on, anytime someone points out legitimate instances of abusive authority. What was, for a few days, a very bad PR debacle for the police has suddenly given them a teflon coating for future incidents. From now on whenever someone questions a police shooting, or questions the over-reaching arm of the police-state, there will be those who will simply write it off and say, "yeah, just like the Michael Brown case" and roll their eyes. The case has now quickly undermined the work of genuine activists who have been working for years to bring to light the legitimate concern of frequent abuses of authority by police.

Second, this case will create even further racial division in our country. Blacks will blame whites for not standing by a victim of police brutality, whites will blame blacks of ignorantly supporting thuggishness, and everyone will accuse everyone of being racist. It will wind up just like the Trayvon Martin case, or the OJ case, all over again. The old divide and conquer works every time. And let me just say this on that topic. The powers-that-be need us to stay focused on the racial divide. They don't want us to see that the real problem is an economic one, not a racial one. The elites don't give a crap about anyone that is not in their little club, and they have an army of cops out there to protect their interests, not yours. Those elites can't have blacks and whites coming together in one unified voice, to take back the American dream from the death grip of vampire banking and corporatism.

Now I will probably be accused of being just another woo-woo conspiracy theorist here, saying that this was a psyop. No, I don't think that some secret-agent spook went out there and orchestrated a street shooting. But I do believe that the media has been manipulated in such a way so as to deliberately undermine those who would dare to question authority while sowing even more racial hatred in this country. And who will benefit from that? Not Brown's family, not the people of that city. The powers-that-be are the only winners here.

Two Cops Brawl During Traffic Stop

And this is why there are so few good cops out there. Because the crooked ones rule the roost.







On the one hand, the uniformed officer thought he "was about to shoot someone" as he put it, over a traffic violation. Had this been a civilian, that very well might have been the way it turned out. Almost certainly, the alleged speeder would have been pummeled into submission, then slapped with a whole slew of felonies and other charges. 

On the other hand though, an officer has every right to protect himself. So when the driver slammed the car door into his legs and jumped out, the uniformed officer was suddenly caught in a situation that was rapidly escalating out of his control. This is how cops get killed, by losing control of a situation. A police Lieutenant should know that better than just about anyone. Clearly, the internal affairs investigator was in the wrong here.

Nevertheless, no charges were filed against the detective. Not even the speeding ticket, after allegedly almost hitting a pedestrian at high speed. Again, if he had been a civilian, he would have been behind bars. There is no doubt of that whatsoever.

And the officer who really was just doing his job? Relieved of duty.

That's some... oh what's the French word for that? Oh yeah, bullshit!

4th of July Checkpoint... Charlie

Just a few notes I made watching this vid:

In some states, if you are traveling in a motor vehicle and you have signed a Driver License contract with the state, you are required to show that license on demand, with or without probable cause. In other words, they can in fact demand your ID at a checkpoint. I believe NY is one of those states.

Notice how the deputy asks, "are you a lawyer or something?" It wasn't a wise-ass remark. If he had identified himself as an attorney, that makes him an officer of the court and thereby enjoys certain legal privileges. (Doesn't matter if he is a defense attorney or a prosecutor.)

A K-9 alert is indeed probable cause to search a vehicle, despite the fact that dogs are only about 40% accurate, according to some studies. This "probable cause" is also despite the fact that many K9's are not certified, or their training certs have expired. And of course, a handler can simply train his dog to alert on subtle cues rather than a detection of contraband, drastically lowering the accuracy percentage even further. (Some facts from K9 trainers themselves.)

Land of the Free?

Today we celebrate our nation's birthday. Hot dogs, apple pie, but where's the freedom?


As you enjoy the holiday, take a moment to consider the reality of how far we have deviated from what was envisioned by the nation's Founding Fathers. Realize that this so-called land of the free is actually the most oppressive country in the world, literally. From international militant imperialism, to how our government treats its own people.

1 out of 100 American adults are in prison.

The United States has more people living in prison than than any other country on the planet.

One out of four people on Earth who are incarcerated live in an American penitentiary. This does not include the millions of Americans on probation, parole, or other supervised conditional release.

The U.S. incarceration rate per-capita far exceeds any other country including Iraq, Iran, Russia, or even Communist China.

China has roughly 4 times as many people as the U.S. but nearly a million fewer prisoners. Although China comes in second place for total prisoners, their per-capita rate is actually far lower then most countries and doesn't even hold a candle to the U.S. per-capita incarceration rate.

In 2013, the U.S. was in fifth place for the number of prisoners executed. China did execute more people, but not nearly enough to account for such a drastically smaller prison population both in raw numbers and per-capita.

The U.S. is the only country in the Western hemisphere who executes prisoners.

The number of Americans killed by police since 9/11 now exceeds the number of troops killed in the Iraq war.

The U.S. prisoner population has more than quadrupled since 1980.

The single largest driver in the increase in the federal prison population since 1998 is longer sentences for drug offenders.

The average inmate in minimum-security federal prison costs $21,000 each year. The average inmate in maximum-security federal prisons costs $33,000 each year. Federal prison costs are expected to rise to 30 percent of the Department of Justice's budget by 2020.

The most serious charge against 51 percent of Federal inmates is a drug offense. Only four percent are in for robbery and only one percent are in for homicide.

So can we really celebrate freedom today when there are so many Americans imprisoned, often for non-violent petty offenses? Can we really celebrate freedom when Everything is Illegal?

ATF Raids Armory to Seize Private Customer Info (VIDEO)

"This isn't just a second amendment issue, it's not just a firearms issue. It's an issue of an overreaching government that wants to come into your kitchen, that wants to come into your living room, and just see what you're doing," says Dimitrios Karras, CEO of Ares Armor in Oceanside, Calif.

Last week, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) raided Ares Armor to confiscate 80 percent polymer receivers for AR-15s. These receivers are the lower part of the gun that contain the trigger operations when fully completed. The polymer version that the ATF is contesting is not completed and requires the purchasers to finish machining it. The ATF claimed that these are unlicensed firearms, but Karras says otherwise.

"It's an object that's in the shape of a receiver, but it hasn't been completed to a point that it would be considered a firearm," says Karras. "This was a nice way for them to get their arm inside of the business and grab the information that they are actually looking for. To think that this is over a piece of plastic is ludicrous."

Karras says the true reason for the ATF's piqued interest in his shop was his refusal to relinquish the list of customers who had purchased the polymer product. He sat down with Reason TV's Tracy Oppenheimer to discuss why he plans to continue fighting the ATF to maintain his customers' privacy and other Constitutional issues at stake.

"They have trampled on the entire Bill of Rights," Karras says.

Pre-Crime 'Minority Report' Computer Program Goes Live In Chicago

University professors have teamed up with the Chicago police department to develop a new technology which will allegedly predict violent criminal behavior. Using a computerized algorithm, Chicago has now generated a "Heat List" which indexes approximately 400 individuals they see as likely to commit violent crimes in the future. And some of the people on the list are not criminals at all.

So much for the tenet of "Innocent until Proven Guilty" or even the oft repeated police-apologist sentiment, "If you don't do anything wrong, have nothing to worry about."

For 22-year old Robert McDaniel, there certainly was something to worry about, when a police commander showed up at his house simply to issue a threat that he was being watched by police. McDaniel's grew up in a gritty neighborhood, but was guilty of no crime, and had no recent interactions with police of any kind. Yet there with this official authority standing there on his porch, issuing a stern warning that since he was being watched, there would be severe consequences if he committed a crime.

Stalking, verbal threats, is this what our modern police forces have been reduced to? Forget about the very tenets of due process for a moment, and consider that the actions of the police themselves border on criminality, in this instance, and all too often actually cross the line in countless others.

You certainly don't want the police showing up at your door for no reason or otherwise to specifically threaten you, especially when you consider cases like this one, where a woman called police for help after she was assaulted and wound up suffering this terrible ordeal.

Hope Steffey case

What good could possibly come from a police officer initiating a deliberately threatening confrontation with a citizen in their own home who as committed no crime?

"If you end up on that list, there’s a reason you’re there." -program commander in the Chicago Police Department

Perhaps, but that reason has nothing to do with being guilty of a crime. Where does this slippery slope end? DNA blood-draw checkpoints on every roadway? Cameras in your bedroom to ensure you aren't having deviant sex? Sound far-fetched? If you had told me, in the year 2000, the the government would be strip-searching children at airports I would have said you were nuts.

Custom Notifications in Chicago - Pilot Program
D13-09

I. Purpose

This directive announces the Chicago Police Department's pilot program for custom notification under the Violence Reduction Initiative in partnership with John Jay College of Criminal Justice Community Team, which will serve as outreach partners within the social service and community partners assembly.

II. Scope

The pilot program is effective 07 July 2013 and will continue until further notice in the 015 District.

III. General Information

A. While the Violence Reduction Strategy (VRS) is predicated upon group accountability, individuals within certain groups are identified as having the increased likelihood of victimization or engagement in criminal activity. The custom notification will identify those at-risk individuals and reach out to advise them of the risks and consequences of their actions should they engage in criminal conduct. The goal is to ensure the individual is not only informed of the law enforcement consequences for deciding to engage or continue in gun violence, but also of the devastating impact of gun violence within their community. Opportunities for seeking assistance will also be provided during the custom notification. However, it is ultimately the decision of the individual to choose not to engage in criminal activity.

B. For the identified individuals, custom notifications serve as notice that law enforcement action will not be random, but rather targeted and specific to the individual, and the failure to follow the clear and consistent message to cease participating in gun violence will have specific and cognizable penalties, as contained within the custom notification.

IV. Definitions

A. "Custom Notification" is a process that identifies potential criminal actors and victims associated with the continuum of violence. Once identified, the individual is notified of the consequences that will result should violent activity continue. The Custom Notification is predicated upon national research that concluded certain actions and associations within an individual’s environment are a precursor to certain outcomes should the individual decide to or continue to engage in criminal behavior. The Custom Notification will include a description of both federal and state sentencing options where applicable, as well as identification of the potential for seized assets and other consequences as appropriate.

1. Initial custom notifications may be predicated upon the Heat List generated by the Crime Prevention and Information Center (CPIC).

2. Ongoing custom notifications may be linked to public violence incidents (hot spots) or associated with call-ins as necessary and as approved by the district commander.

B. The "Heat List" is a rank-order list of potential victims and subjects with the greatest propensity for violence. The list is generated based on empirical data compared with known associates of the identified person.

C. "Influentials" are those individual seen as having importance or the ability to influence an individual’s actions. These can be both positive and negative influences.

D. The Custom Notification Letter will be used to inform individuals of the arrest, prosecution, and sentencing consequences they may face if they choose to or continue to engage in public violence. The letter will be specific to the identified individual and incorporate those factors known about the individual inclusive of prior arrests, impact of known associates, and potential sentencing outcomes for future criminal acts.

1. The Bureau of Organizational Development will work with the Office of Legal Affairs to develop a letter template for the Custom Notification.

2. The Office of Legal Affairs will provide review and approval of the Custom Notification Letter prior to distribution. The purpose is to confirm the range of outcomes identified as it applies to potential prosecution and sentencing outcomes.

3. The letters will be signed by the district commanders.

V. Procedures

A. District intelligence officers will:

1. continually review and update information relative to individuals linked to gun violence. These reviews will include, but are not limited to:

a. review of the Heat List for the district including the identification of those individuals who live within district.

b. CPIC information relative to criminal activity and conflicts within the district.

c. the District Gang Audit and other database information.

d. intelligence information relayed from district officers, area-assigned officers, and officers assigned to the Bureau of Organized Crime and Bureau of Detectives.

e. review of those individuals who have attended previous call-ins within the district.

2. identify those individuals eligible for custom notifications. Factors for eligibility include, but are not limited to:

a. placement on the Heat List;

b. victim of a shooting incident, where prosecution has been declined for lack of cooperation;

c. identification as a repeat offender for public violence crimes; and

d. other factors as developed and linked to public violence within the district.

3. when an individual is identified and:

a. residency is established, inform the district commander who will ensure the Custom Notification procedure is initiated.

b. residency cannot be verified, forward such information to CPIC and record the information in the district Heat List database pending subsequent confirmation of a new address. Residency will be verified and notification will occur at a future date.

B. The Custom Notification will be conducted under the direction of the district commander.

1. Those present for notifications may vary, based upon identified criminal factors, identified influentials, and other factors as identified in the review process.

2. A CPD officer will always be present for a custom notification.

C. The Custom Notification Team will:

1. generally conduct the notification at the identified individual's residence;

2. explain the Custom Notification program and the contents of the Custom Notification Letter;

3. deliver the letter to the identified individual.

NOTE:
When an identified individual is not present at the time of the custom notification, or refuses to participate, the Custom Notification Team may deliver the letter and explain the program to a family member or leave the letter at the residence.

D. When a recipient of the custom notification engages in criminal activity for which he or she is arrested, then the district commander will ensure:

1. notification to and coordination with the appropriate Bureau of Detectives Area to ensure appropriate charging occurs. The highest possible charges will be pursued for any individual in the VRS Custom Notification Program.

2. Court advocacy volunteers are notified of the date, time, and place of the bond hearing or other court hearings and encourage attendance at the hearing to demonstrate the community’s support in decreasing the violence.

3. coordination with the Cook County State's Attorney Community Prosecutions Unit as appropriate.
E. A copy of the custom notification will be forward to the CPIC and maintained within the district.

Detective Sgt Refuses To Resign After Conviction and Jail Sentence

Detective Sgt. Richard Sassi Jr., 34, was sentenced to six months in Dutchess County Jail for falsely reporting an incident to authorities, a misdemeanor, in August 2012. He was subsequently convicted by a jury after a 40-minute deliberation.

The charge stems from a call he made to 911 with report of a burglary in progress, when the boyfriend of a female criminal informant found the police detective in a closet wearing nothing but his underwear. A fight ensued and the disgraced detective is alleged to have pulled his gun on the woman's boyfriend.The former member of the Dutchess County Drug Task Force used a false name when he called to report a burglary in progress. At trial, he alleged that he did so in order to protect the identity of the informant.

The cop intends to appeal the conviction, and has refused to resign from the City of Beacon Police Department.

Back in 2006 the officer sued the city after they passed him over for promotion to detective, in favor of another candidate. It was alleged that he was denied the promotion as retaliation against his father, Richard Sassi Sr., who was the Chief of Police in the city at that time and an outspoken critic of city officials.

Although is seems rather commendable that the criminal cop was sentenced to any jail time at all, one can easily imagine that had he been a civilian in a similar situation, he would have likely faced numerous felony counts, especially considering the brandishing of a handgun during the incident. Furthermore, the detective faced no charges of any kind for his betrayal of public trust in having an illicit affair with an informant, or from using his authority to allegedly coerce sexual favors from that informant.

First Time In History: Police Shoot Suspect Dead In Iceland

While American streets are awash in the blood of citizens shot by police. the Atlantic-island nation of Iceland has just witnessed it's first ever fatal police shooting.

On Monday morning Icelandic police responded to an apartment building where it was reported that a man was making threats to neighbors. It has been reported that the suspect fired from a window. An hour later, police stormed the apartment and shot the suspect. He was pronounced dead a short time later at the hospital. Two police officers suffered minor injuries in the operation.

This incident marks the first time in Iceland's 200-plus year history since their independence from Denmark, that police have ever shot and killed a suspect. Police extended their regrets and condolences to the man they killed.

For Americans, this record seems almost unbelievable. In 2012, police in the United States killed 587 people. That figure includes both justifiable homicide and non-justified. The average for justified shootings has hovered around 400 annually for a number of years. Police-involved shootings roughly doubles the number of people killed. Many of these shootings involve unarmed suspects.

While many may lay blame on America's "gun culture," that doesn't seem to hold true with the averages of other countries with high gun-ownership rates. Switzerland, for example, has an extremely low crime rate and one of the leading per-capita gun ownership rates in the world. Despite this incident being the first-ever police shooting in Iceland, gun ownership there rates 15th in the world with nearly one-in-three citizens owning a firearm.

In Germany, police only fired 85 rounds in all of 2011.

Figures like these stand in stark contrast to the numbers we see in the Unites States.  Of course, it should be understood here that we have high gun crime rates in general in the US, so not every police-shooting should be seen as unjustified. In some instances too, a suspect may not have a firearm but may, for example, use a motor vehicle as a deadly weapon. Police shootings are, sadly enough, often justified.

But that same time, we also see that many times police shootings in the US are not justified from a moral sense, but the officers are legally cleared of wrongdoing. In other instances, even wrongful shootings are met with little to no consequences, for what amounts to a criminal act by a law-enforcement officer. If there was more accountability for police, there may be less shootings and death, and a greater likelihood of proper discretion from professionals.

Here is a compilation of some of the less-than-justified police shootings in the US:

In this instance, a SWAT team were given medals for not shooting an innocent man who shot at them, when they illegally raided his home during the Christmas holiday season.

SWAT Get Medals For Shooting at Innocent Family In Botched Raid

In this video (CAUTION: GRAPHIC) police execute a man during a raid in which they had full knowledge that their suspect no longer resided at the location. The man they executed was armed with a golf-club and seemingly unaware that the intruders were police.

Dead Bang: Man Shot Dead by Home Invaders With Badges

In this case, a man was shot dead by police after he knocked at a residential door looking for help.

Unarmed Man Shot Dead Running to Police for Help After Serious Car Wreck

We can even look to high profile cases, where incompetence borders on murder. Take the case of the alleged Boston Bombers. The first brother was reported killed in a shootout with police, but in other stories scrubbed from the internet, there was evidence that he may have been killed while in police custody. That may fall under the realm of "conspiracy theory" but we do have other facts to show that something was very wrong with the Boston incident.

The second suspect, was fired on repeatedly, without proper cause. He was not armed, and made no overt actions of violence while he was trapped in the boat. There was no immediate danger to officers/agents.  As if it weren't bad enough that police fired on an unarmed non-aggressive suspect, we must also consider the gravity of that situation. from a professional investigative point of view. In in the interest of public safety, that suspect had to be taken alive for interrogation to ensure that there was not a larger plot and more devices spread about Boston or the US. The agressiveness seems unprofessional at best.

Did Cops Try To Murder Bombing Suspect?

These instances, at face value, really are simply examples of incompetence more than deliberate murder. For civilians, some of these might amount to manslaughter, on par with accidentally killing someone in a drunk-driving accident perhaps. But whereas most civilians might expect to do 15 or years in prison for such an error, the police are held to a far less rigorous standard for screwing up, even after all their training and public confidence.

In this instance, a police officer was convicted of wrongdoing in the death of a motorist, but had his conciction tossed in order to become "top cop" in this town.

You put the uniform back on and you look at yourself in the mirror, and you think, I’m back,” he said. “It’s a good feeling.”

Cop Made Chief After Negligent Homicide Conviction


Now we can really scrape the bottom of the barrel though. Where genuine murderers use the badge to kill in cold blood, for pure self-gain. Given the extreme level of protections and forgiveness afforded law-enforcement officials, it seems more than likely that most cases such as these never make it to the light of day.

In the third segment of the following link, you can read the brief about two cops who murdered a mother who was nursing a newborn infant in order to cover up their influence over a masseuse-brothel.

3 More Stories of Police Incomeptence, Corruption, and Violent Crime

From small town, to big time, crooked cops do murder in the US.

Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa


Although we have gone out of our way here to emphasize the non-necessity of many police shootings, the incompetence, the mistakes, the regrets, the cold-blooded murders... We are not here to endorse the disarming of police. More often than not, police are indeed justified in using a gun to defend themselves and others. However, without accountability for wrongful acts, and downright criminal acts, the worst human beings among us will flock to the badge as a shield or protection for their evil ways.

Please support accountability for police.

More Allegations of Police Brutality in Troy, NY

A Saratoga Springs man is suing the city of Troy and three police officers alleging that he was violently attacked without cause, and falsely arrested in August 2011 at an area hospital.

According to the lawsuit filed, John M. Larkins brought his aunt to the hospital after she was injured in an accident at home. The aunt who is hearing impaired became upset when police began questioning her nephew and didn't understand why police had become involved in the matter. Larkins was accused of domestic violence by the police officers, but did not resist the arrest. Despite his cooperation, he had his arm wrenched back, was knocked to the ground, and was tasered in the head and neck repeatedly. After being placed in a police car and while handcuffed, police pepper-sprayed him.

Larkins was later acquitted of all charges.

The lawsuit complaint goes on to say that police concealed from the courts, the DA's office, and from defense counsel that Larkins' arrest was based on false information.

3 More Stories of Police Incomeptence, Corruption, and Violent Crime

This first story comes out of Troy, New York. The police chief there has suddenly been put under investigation, after he revealed the results of an internal-affairs investigation into allegations of police brutality. The departments IAB found that an officer had indeed used excessive force when they struck a person in the head causing injury. The chief then related those findings to the victim. Although he recommended that the District Attorney's office review the case to weigh criminal charges, he later informed the victim that administrative action was the only option left to take against the abusive cop.

So what we see here is that even the commanding officer of a police agency cannot actually expect to hold his own subordinates accountable for violent crimes against citizens, and will face a political witch-hunt now for crossing The Thin Blue Line's code of silence.

This next case is astounding, not because it's so astounding that police would actually abuse their authority, but because of the sheer numbers in this one story alone.

Quickstop convenience store clerk Earl Sampson has been stopped and questioned by Miami Gardens police 258 times in four years. He’s been searched more than 100 times and jailed 56 times. He has been arrested 62 times for trespassing alone. But here's the real kicker. Almost all of the trespassing charges stem from allegations that he was trespassing at the Quickstop where he actually works! He has not been the only victim of an incredibly overzealous police force either.

The owner of the convenience store decided to install a 16-camera surveillance system, to protect his customers and employees from the cops not robbers, saying that he has never been robbed. Numerous videos appear to show wrongdoing and profiling by police, including one clip where clerk Sampson was hauled off by police for taking a bag of trash to the container outside.

Finally, we have two ex-cops who have been arrested for murdering two Kentucky women in 1994. One of the cops was actually a detective who was in charge of the investigation for a time, into the brutal slayings of the two young women who were working as prostitutes in a massage parlor. The two were shot in the head and had their throats slit. One woman had a baby who was just weeks old, who she had been nursing. Several years after the murders has still gone unsolved, allegations were made that the police had demanded money and sexual favors from the women. When they finally decided to no longer cooperate with the extortion, they were murdered to keep them quiet about police dirty-deeds.

Second Anal Probe Raises Stink In New Mexico

We first summarized here how a man endured a 14-hour long anal-probing ordeal by order of law-enforcement after being stopped for a minor traffic infraction. As if that story weren't horrid enough, it turns out there is more to the story. Another case of a man being forced, against his will, to be subject of a similar search after failing to use his directional signal.

Further investigation by KOB4 Eyewitness News has uncovered that the same police K-9 unit had apparently signaled a false alert in both instances. The fact that the dog is not certified to be a drug-sniffing dog in the first place, could explain why.


Cases like these, while shocking, are hardly isolated incidents either. We, as a society, must draw a line at some point to say enough is enough, and demand some accountability from police officers in particular and from our justice system as a whole.

While these officers may be on the hot-seat at the moment, it is unlikely that they will face any penalty equal to the ordeal they have forced these citizens to endure. Moreover, it is unlikely that any substantive policy changes will come of it, which might prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future, anywhere in our nation.

Incidents like these are not exceptions to the rule, they are the rule... of law in police-state Amerika.

The Hope Steffey Case

Although it was against the department's own policy to allow male guards to participate in the strip-search of a female in custody, no indictment of criminal wrongdoing was ever brought against the officers involved. The deputies kept their jobs as well, on the grounds that what you saw there was not actually a "strip-search" but rather a suicide prevention measure. The civil lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount.

The following is an excerpt from the Wiki page on the Stark County Sheriff:

During the Steffey case, it was discovered that 128 women had experienced strip search, naked isolation or related treatment between 1999 and 2007. Privacy concerns prevented the identification of these women which led Steffey's lawyers to use the billboard to encourage other women to come forward.[11] Following the bill board and media reporting on the incident, five women, including Valentina Dyshko, came forward to report similar experiences with Stark County Sheriff's personnel[12] including "Elizabeth" (a pseudonym) who was herself employed in a medium security jail. She reported being accused of suicidal behavior and strip-searched after being arrested for defending herself against inappropriate touching by a sheriff deputy during a traffic stop following a lane change without signaling. The sheriff had accused her of failing a breath test when her asthma prevented her from blowing sufficiently strongly during said breath test

Brokeback Traffic Stop as Man Gets Rectal Reaming Over How He Stood

After shopping at a Wal-Mart store, David Eckert failed to make a complete stop at a stop-sign before he pulled into traffic to leave the plaza. He was stopped by police for the infraction.

The officer asked Eckert to step out of the vehicle. At that point, law-enforcement claim they observed that Eckert appeared to be "clenching his buttocks" and that such an observation was grounds for a search for drugs. They also claim then that a drug-sniffing K-9 alerted to the scent of drugs on the car seat. This all became grounds for a judge to sign a warrant, ordering a search of the man's anal cavity.

Police brought their suspect to a medical facility where doctors refused to perform the task, on ethical grounds.

Police then brought their suspect to another facility, in another county, where the search warrant was not valid. That medical facility proceeded with the anal-probing however, over the continued objections of Mr. Eckert.

This is how they performed the search, according to KOB Eyewitness News 4 :

1. Eckert's abdominal area was x-rayed; no narcotics were found.

2. Doctors then performed an exam of Eckert's anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found.

3. Doctors performed a second exam of Eckert's anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found.

4. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.

5. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema a second time. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.

6. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema a third time. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.

7. Doctors then x-rayed Eckert again; no narcotics were found.

8. Doctors prepared Eckert for surgery, sedated him, and then performed a colonoscopy where a scope with a camera was inserted into Eckert's anus, rectum, colon, and large intestines. No narcotics were found.

The Chief of police would not comment on the case, and referred reporters to an attorney. When asked what assurances he could give that people would not be abused or violated by his police officers, the Chief replied simply:

"We follow the law in every aspect and we follow policies and protocols that we have in place." -Chief Brandon Gigante

When reporters tried to get a statement from the medical center that performed the procedures, they did not bother to defend their actions, but simply replied "no comment."

They did however, send Mr. Eckert a bill, and are now threatening to sue him if he does not pay it.

"If the officers in Hidalgo County and the City of Deming are seeking warrants for anal cavity searches based on how they're standing and the warrant allows doctors at the Gila Hospital of Horrors to go in and do enemas and colonoscopies without consent, then anyone can be seized and that's why the public needs to know about this." -Shannon Kennedy, Attorney
