Israel cabinet passes Nazi style law allowing year-long detention for undocumented [non-white] immigrants

Jurist The Israeli Cabinet [official website] on Sunday adopted an amendment to the Law for the Prevention of Infiltration [text, PDF], permitting the state to detain undocumented immigrants for up to one year. The amendment is a direct response to an earlier ruling [JURIST report] of the Supreme Court of Israel [official website] holding that the 2012 amendment to the Law for the Prevention of Infiltration, which allowed police forces to arrest undocumented immigrants and detain them for up to three years without trial, was unconstitutional. This most recent amendment to the law also mandates [Jersusalem Post report] the construction of an "open" detention center that will only be locked at night, and further requires undocumented immigrants detained at the center to register three times per day and prohibits them from seeking employment. The issue of undocumented immigration [JURIST backgrounder, JURIST news archive] has been a controversial issue throughout the world. Earlier this week Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] and Seton Hall University School of Law [academic website] released a report documenting the extreme hardships [JURIST report] suffered by asylum seekers in the US due to its immigration policies. In October UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official profile; JURIST news archive] urged the international community to adopt new approaches to migration [JURIST report], focusing on the vulnerability and human rights of migrants. In February JURIST Guest Columnist Victoria Neilson of Immigration Equality argued [JURIST op-ed] that truly comprehensive immigration reform in the US must go further in addressing LGBT issues.

Media not allowed to observe Guantanamo parole-style hearing: DOD

Jurist The US Department of Defense (DOD) [official website] on Friday announced that media entities and other would-be observers will not be allowed to sit in on the first session of the Periodic Review Board (PRB), a parole-style hearing process for detainees held at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST backgrounder]. In 2011 US President Barack Obama [official website] issued an executive order [text; fact sheet] establishing the PRB process, which empowers authorities to review whether continued detention of certain detainees held at Guantanamo Bay remains necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to US national security. After working through the logistics, the PRBs were initiated, and the DOD announced that 71 detainees would go before the boards in pursuit of transfer or release from Guantanamo. The first PRB hearing is scheduled [Miami Herald report] for November 20 and involves 33-year-old captive Mahmud al Mujahid. Members of the media will not be allowed to observe the November hearing. Controversy continues to surround Guantanamo military trials. Last month Military Judge James Pohl refused to suspend [JURIST report] the pretrial hearings. In February Pohl ordered the removal [JURIST report] of any monitoring system that censors the public broadcast of the 9/11 military commission hearings. He noted that only he and the court security officer have the authority to turn on or off the light that would make the courtroom closed to public. The order came a day after the DOD released an excerpt of the transcript from the missing few minutes based on another order issued earlier that week. In the same month, Pohl denied [JURIST report] a defense motion requesting a finding that the US constitution was "presumed to apply" in the proceedings and that the prosecution must bear the burden of proving that any particular provision did not apply. In January a US military judge upheld [JURIST report] a request to censor 9/11 conspirators' testimony. In September last year a judge for the US District Court for the District of Columbia rejected [JURIST report] new restrictions on lawyers representing Guantanamo Bay detainees who have had their habeas corpus challenges denied or dismissed.

Racism costs the U.S. Billions every year [racism is a strategy for white genetic survival- not about profit]

MilwaukeeCourier

Closing the income gap between Whites and minorities, would boost earnings by 12 percent, an economic windfall of $1 trillion, for a nation burdened by debt and an anemic job market, according to a recent study by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Altarum Institute.

The study titled, “The Business Case for Racial Equity” looks at the legacy of racism in the United States and how addressing racial disparities would have a significant impact on the American economy.

The study looked at a number of racial disparities that have plagued Blacks and other minorities, including health, housing, employment, income and wealth.

“There is a tendency to frame the disparities and the gaps as a burden to the nation seldom do we frame it as a business case,” said Gail Christopher, vice president of program strategy for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

“We wouldn’t be having these deficit conversations, if we put our energy into making economic viability an option for people of color.”

The shifting demographics of the American population make the argument for racial equity even more compelling.

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that racial and ethnic minorities will account for more than 50 percent of the United States population by 2043.

Minority births in the United States exceeded White births for the first time in 2012. Minority babies today will become the workforce of tomorrow, making critical contributions to entitlement programs largely enjoyed by a graying White population.

[so, the racism will get worse. Racism/white supremacy is all about white genetic survival. white people practice racism to survive.]

Jay Z's new Barneys deal is damage control - it doesn't address racial profiling: lawyer

Nydailynews

Jay Z's new philanthropic deal with Barneys does not address the root problems of shop-and-frisk for African-Americans, a lawyer charged Saturday.

Michael Palillo, whose client Trayon Christian was stopped by cops after buying a $349 belt at Barneys, said the decision to donate 100% of the proceeds from Jay Z’s clothing line to aid minority students was laudable.

“Is this statement an acknowledgment that racial profiling and discrimination did occur?” the lawyer asked. “Or is this damage control?

“Will those who were falsely arrested and illegally detained solely due to the color of their skin sleep better this evening by reading Mr. Z’s comments?” he wondered.

On Friday, the hip-hop icon announced that his collection of pricey gear, watches and other items will debut as scheduled Wednesday at Barneys.

Obama to halt deportations of US military relatives

Aljazeera

The Obama administration will allow some relatives of U.S. service members living in the country illegally to stay, according to a policy directive issued Friday.

The nine-page memorandum is the latest in a series of immigration policy changes made by President Barack Obama since he took office. 

The latest order gives U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials the power to "parole in place" immigrant spouses, children and parents of current U.S. service members, reservists and veterans. The change means that those immigrants can apply to legally live in the United States.  

Margaret D. Stock, an Alaska-based immigration attorney and retired Army reserve lieutenant colonel, said the latest directive would likely impact thousands of military families. "It is very significant," Stock said. "It will ease the strain on so many families and military members."

TPP draft: United States reasserts its role as a world’s Master of Self Entitlement

Rt

In a leaked negotiation document about going trade negotiations, it becomes clear that the United States is still asserting its role as the world’s master of self-entitlement.

On Wednesday, a document leaked from an ongoing trade negotiation was published by WikiLeaks. It concerns the monopolies and exclusive rights we know as copyrights, patents, trademarks, and so on. While the contents of the proposed trade agreement are certainly interesting, not to say very alarming, it's even more interesting to see how the United States keeps asserting its industry interests over the world under the false flag of “free trade.”

This process started with Japanese cars in the 1970s. As people in the United States started shunning Detroit's cars in favor of Toyota, policymakers in the US realized that the country's age of industrial competitiveness had effectively come to an end, and sought new ways to keep the United States at the top of the food chain, competitive or not. The result was as audacious, daring, and provocative as it was successful: redefine "value,” "industry,” and "production" in a series of lopsided interstate contracts masqueraded as "free trade" deals that would make sure the United States kept being paid by the rest of the world.

The first of these "free trade" deals - more accurately described as Industrial Protectionism (IP) - was the agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), which stands at the heart of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Its champion had been then-CEO of Pfizer, Edmund Pratt, who wanted to prohibit people in the third world from using their own raw materials and pharmaceutical knowledge in their own laboratories and plants to cure and treat their own people's diseases. He wanted to force them to buy from Pfizer or die trying. Millions died as a result of the success of the TRIPS "free trade" agreement and the WTO.

There is no word for this type of behavior short of "evil.”

As the TRIPS agreement on Industrial Protectionism (IP) was being negotiated, every industry interest in the United States chimed in and wanted their piece of the pie. Hollywood's movie industry, the record industry, everybody. This new leaked trade agreement - that has absolutely nothing to do with free trade, but with the upholding of exclusive rights and monopolies that limit free trade - builds on the previous TRIPS agreement; it harshens it and deepens it. It is named TPP, the "Trans-Pacific Partnership.”

Confused Victim of White Supremacy Charles Barkley on the word "nigger"

"In the absence of white supremacy, niggers would not exist." According to the Code Word Guide, a Nigger is any non-white person, who is directly or indirectly subject to the System of White Supremacy (Racism) in any area of activity, including Economics, Education, Entertainment, Labor, law, Politics, Religion, Sex and/or War. According to Dr. Blynd, a nigger is a species of caterpillar-known also as a 'black jack.' [MORE] 

According to Anon: [MORE]

The Definition Of "Nigger" In A White Supremacy System:

1. "Nigger" is NOT a racial identity.

2. ALL non-white people are niggers  -  by default - in a system of white supremacy.

3."Nigger" is NOT a personality defect.

4."Nigger" is a political term that defines a social, economic, and political REALITY.

5. A nigger cannot decide who is a nigger and who is not.

6. All black people are niggers but all niggers are not black people.

7. All non-white people are niggers (in a system of white supremacy). 

8. There is no place on earth called "Nigger Land," therefore niggers are NOT born (niggers), they are CREATED.

9. White people cannot be niggers in a system of white supremacy.

10. There is NO racial slur for whites that is the social, economic, or political equivalent of "nigger" in a white supremacist system.

11. There is no such thing as "acting like a nigger."

12. Being a nigger has nothing to do with being ignorant, backward, country, poor, or uneducated. Those qualities are found in every ethnic group.

13. No amount of education, professional achievements, or fancy table manners will transform a nigger into a white person in a system of white supremacy.

14. Nigger is not a lifestyle or behavior, it's a condition. Accusing someone of acting like a "nigger" is like saying, "Stop acting poor!" If you're poor, you act poor. In other words, your behavior reflects your conditions NOT your race.

15. If we eliminated poverty and white supremacy, there would be no poor folks or niggers.

16. "Nigger" should never be a term of endearment. This is like greeting a friend who just lost his job by saying, "How you doing, you 'out of work person'?"

17. In the absence of white supremacy, niggers would not exist.

18.  In the absence of white supremacy, there would be no need for niggers.

19.  A moral and just society is "nigger-proof." (because there would be no need to invent niggers).

Once we understand what a "nigger" is, we will understand that a made-up word DOES NOT DEFINE WHO WE ARE; it defines WHAT IS BEING DONE TO US.

Once we understand what the word "nigger" means, we will stop being afraid of a word we did not create. Once we understand that "nigger" does not define (or limit) our humanity, we will stop being ashamed of a word that says more about the creator than it does about us. Then, we will have the time and energy to turn our collective focus to eliminating the conditions that have created "niggers" all over the world. [MORE]

Democracy: Going Down for the Count in Detroit

CitizensforLegit

The "restructuring" of Detroit through bankruptcy is the model for drastically downsizing what’s left of democracy in all of urban America. Already, Black voting rights have been rendered null and void "on a scale not seen since the death of Reconstruction." However, the legal precedents that are being established in mostly Black Detroit will obtain throughout the nation.

Latino lawmaker (CA) says feds asked him to wear wire

Sfgate

Embattled state Sen. Ron Calderon says federal authorities wanted him to wear a wire and record conversations with the Senate leader and another lawmaker, and after he refused they tried to ruin his reputation by raiding his offices and leaking an FBI affidavit alleging he took money in return for promoting bills.

Calderon, who has not been charged and has denied any wrongdoing, made the allegations in a complaint filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Sacramento. The Democrat from the Los Angeles-area city of Montebello asked a judge to hold federal investigators and prosecutors in contempt for leaking the sealed affidavit, which was written to support a search warrant for Calderon's Sacramento offices.

The filing includes a copy of a receipt for a wireless transmitter on the letterhead of Calderon's lawyer, Mark Geragos.

Calderon's complaint said the senator was approached six times by FBI agents and twice by Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Miller demanding that he "participate in a sting operation" against Senate President Pro Tem Darrel Steinberg and Sen. Kevin de Leon and "secretly record conversations" with them.

"The FBI affidavit omitted facts that just days before the affidavit was prepared, the FBI was attempting to use Senator Calderon as an informant against Senators Steinberg and de Leon," the complaint alleged.

Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said Calderon is lashing out after Steinberg had Calderon stripped of his committee assignments earlier this week.

Congressional Task Force on Overcriminalization Holds Fourth Hearing

NACDL

The Congressional Task Force on Overcriminalization held its fourth hearing this morning. Composed of five Democrats and five Republicans, the Task Force was created on May 7, 2013, by a unanimous vote of the House Committee on the Judiciary. The Task Force was charged to "conduct hearings and investigations and issue a report on overcriminalization in the federal code, as well as possible solutions."

The official topic of this morning’s hearing was "Regulatory Crime: Solutions." The witnesses at today’s hearing were Mr. John S. Baker, Jr., Ph.D., Visiting Professor at Georgetown Law School and Mr. Lucian E. Dervan, Assistant Professor of Law at Southern Illinois University School of Law. While the title of today’s hearing reflected a focus on regulatory crimes, the witnesses testified about multiple potential solutions that could help ameliorate the problem of overcriminalization throughout the federal system. The two solutions most discussed were a default mens rea, or criminal intent, statute that would address the pervasive erosion of the intent requirement in the federal criminal law, as well as a codification of a statutory rule of construction that would require that vague criminal laws be strictly construed and any ambiguities be construed in favor of the accused. Both reforms are well-documented in a joint study by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Heritage Foundation, Without Intent: How Congress is Eroding the Criminal Intent Requirement in Federal Law. Such measures would have far reaching effects on the whole of the criminal justice system. Members of the Task Force also expressed concern and probed the panelists on how an excessive number of federal offenses, mandatory minimum sentences, and resource imbalances negatively affect the fairness and efficacy of our criminal justice system. They discussed how these combine to put the prosecution in a position of advantage and create a "trial penalty," whereby defendants are encouraged to plea instead of exercising their constitutional right to trial.

With the Task Force’s initial six month authorization set to expire, Task Force Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) noted in his opening remarks that he expects the Judiciary Committee will vote next week to give the Task Force a six month extension.

Links to a webcast of the full hearing and written witness testimony are available here. Links to the video and written testimony from the three previous hearings can be found here.

Task Force to Study Crime on Indian Reservations

NYTimes

A special Justice Department task force will hold a series of public meetings around the country to study the scope and impact that exposure to violence has on Native American and Alaska Native children, the Justice Department said.

The announcement, made by Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. this week, comes amid a surge of violence on many Indian reservations and complaints that federal law enforcement officials, who are responsible for investigating and prosecuting most major crimes in Indian Country, have done too little to address the problem.

A report last December by the Justice Department concluded that American Indian and Alaska Native children “have an exceptional degree of unmet needs for services and support to prevent and respond to the extreme levels of violence they experience.”

On Wednesday, during the annual White House Tribal Nations Conference, in which leaders of the 566 federally recognized Native American tribes met with members of the Obama administration, Mr. Holder told tribal members that the federal government would not “tolerate a world in which nearly half of all Indian women and girls” have been raped, beaten or stalked by an intimate partner.

Two Black Men Ordered Released after 15 yrs. Murder Convictions Dismissed

Innocence Project

One month after a Philadelphia judge dismissed the murder convictions of two men serving life sentences, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office announced they would not appeal the decision, clearing the path for both men to be released.
 
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that after 15 years behind bars, Eugene Gilyard and Lance Felder were both released on a $20,000 bail bond on Friday and will be electronically monitored at home.
 
Attorneys and family members in attendance at last week’s hearing expected the prosecution to announce whether or not they would order a new trial and were stunned to learn Gilyard and Felder were ordered released. “ ‘That’s not something you see in this building every day,’ said veteran Center City civil-rights lawyer David Rudovsky, who represented Gilyard.”
 
As the Innocence Blog wrote last month, Common Pleas Court Judge Rose Marie DeFino-Nastasi said the original trial evidence was weak against the pair who were 18 years old when they were convicted of the 1995 shooting death of a restaurant owner. The victim’s daughter was the single eyewitness to identify Gilyard and Felder. The two young men were convicted based on the eyewitness testimony despite its inaccuracies in the age and height of the perpetrators.
 
Gilyard maintained his innocence and previously told police he knew the real perpetrators by their street names “Rolex” and “Tizz.” The Pennsylvania Innocence Project took on Gilyard’s case and uncovered new evidence of their innocence, including a confession to the murder by another man. Ricky “Rolex” Welborn confessed that he and another man had tried to rob the victim and shot him and that Gilyard and Felder had nothing to do with it.

US exports more oil than it imports for first time since 1995

Aljazeera 

The United States exports more oil than it imports for the first time since 1995, in a growing trend sped by the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing.

For the month of October, the U.S. averaged exports of 7.7 million barrels of oil per day while taking in just 7.6 million barrels per day (bpd), according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Imports were at their lowest since February 1991, EIA reported Wednesday.

Shale gas extraction involves pumping water and special chemicals into deposits deep beneath the earth to break apart hard deposits of the gas-rich shale, then draw the fuel back up.

The “fracking” boom has sparked controversy, with opponents saying it contaminates ground water and causes earthquakes. Advocates argue the industry brings jobs to communities that allow the practice.

The EIA projects fracking will grow significantly as a source of U.S. energy production over the next 30 years.

Along with fracking, lower consumption due to increased prices has helped turn the U.S. into a net oil exporter, according to USA Today. 

(a substantial number of white people are predominantly occupied with the destruction of the universe) Typhoon Haiyan highlights global cost of climate change

Aljazeera 

As the Philippine government struggles deal with the humanitarian crisis caused by Typhoon Haiyan, it has already begun to look at the causes of the storm and what it can do to prevent such widespread destruction in the future.

But one of the major factors in the future of extreme weather, and therefore one of the main factors in the future of the Philippines, is almost entirely out of the country’s control.

Most climate scientists agree that increasing global temperatures will cause more intense storms in the future. And while it’s hard to pinpoint the causes of any one storm, many agree that there will be more Typhoon Haiyan-strength storms to come because of climate change.

That’s put the Philippines and other developing nations in a bind. While poor countries often bear the brunt of climate change’s effects, their lackluster economies prevent them from funding in infrastructure and education that could help mitigate the damage of disasters like Haiyan in the future.

Now, many in the Philippines, as well as environmental advocates and climate experts, are pushing for countries with money, including the United States, to pay to help lessen the impacts of climate change across the globe. They say that industrialized nations should not only foot the bill because they can, but because they are the largely responsible for climate change.

As governments in industrialized countries struggle to pay their own bills, however, there’s no clear path to fund the amount of climate change infrastructure and education needed to protect countries like the Philippines before another extreme storm strikes.

But that hasn’t stopped some in the Philippines from trying to convince the world to forge ahead.

Earlier this week, at the start of a two week long U.N. conference in Warsaw on climate change, the envoy for the Philippines made an emotional appeal for action.

Speaking through tears, Naderev “Yeb” Sano pleaded with delegates to come to a “meaningful” resolution on combating climate change. His speech was met with a standing ovation.

But whether it will be met with action is a different story.

The U.S. has expressed deep reservations about taking blame for climate change and accepting some liability. An official U.S. briefing on the current climate talks obtained by The Guardian this week confirmed as much. The U.S. has also publicly rejected calls for taking responsibility for global warming and for funding other country’s response to its effects.

“We don’t accept the narrative of blame,” the U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change Todd D. Stern said in a speech in London last month.

'Can I have my house back?' JPMorgan cancels Twitter Q&A after receiving 'offensive' questions

Rt

JPMorgan canceled a question-and-answer session on Twitter Wednesday after receiving a barrage of critical questions skewering the multinational banking company for legal problems, foreclosure practices, and other ethical transgressions.

Starting at least since last week, JPMorgan, the investment and services portion of financial behemoth JPMorgan Chase & Co, asked followers and others on Twitter to send questions about the bank’s operations for veteran investment banker and company vice chairman Jimmy Lee using the hashtag #AskJPM ahead of the planned Thursday session.

Judge to Review Files on NYPD Detective Scarcella

NyTimes

A State Supreme Court justice ordered the Brooklyn district attorney’s office on Wednesday to produce any documents regarding wrongdoing alleged by inmates, witnesses, lawyers and others against a former homicide detective who is the subject of a wide-ranging review.

The justice, Desmond A. Green, will examine prosecutors’ paperwork regarding Louis Scarcella, a former Brooklyn homicide detective who was blamed for putting an innocent man in prison for 23 years. It will be the first time anyone outside the district attorney’s office has had the opportunity to examine the files.

The district attorney’s office had tried to quash a subpoena request for the files, saying revealing such information would be damaging to a continuing investigation.

Shabaka Shakur, an inmate serving a life term for a 1988 murder, requested the documents in a quest to prove that the detective did shoddy work on his case. Mr. Shakur accused the detective of fabricating an incriminating statement, which the detective said he elicited during an interrogation.

Mr. Shakur has long argued that the detective was notorious for dubious investigative techniques, such as using the same witness in several unrelated murder cases. In March, when prosecutors released a man, David Ranta, who had served 23 years on a murder conviction, they cited problems with the detective’s work as the reason.

The district attorney, Charles J. Hynes, later agreed to review all of the detective’s trial convictions. But Mr. Hynes, who recently lost his re-election bid, has declined to identify the cases under review or share any information about the investigation.

Now Federal Appeals Panel says 'Stop and Frisk' Judge Did Not Engage in Misconduct [Lip Service does not stop white supremacy]

NYTimes

see Anon on white people who speak out against racism [HERE] 

A federal appeals panel in Manhattan that had abruptly removed Judge Shira A. Scheindlin from New York City’s high-profile stop-and-frisk litigation and questioned her conduct in the case issued a lengthy explanation on Wednesday, saying it had made “no findings of misconduct, actual bias or actual partiality” by the judge.

The three-judge panel’s Oct. 31 order has been the subject of pointed debate among judges, lawyers and others, and the statement on Wednesday appeared to be an effort to soften the tone of the original ruling, if not its import. The new opinion was another turn in the stop-and-frisk litigation, in which Judge Scheindlin issued a landmark decision in August imposing sweeping changes on the Police Department, including the appointment of a monitor.

That decision and the remedies the judge ordered were stayed by the panel’s Oct. 31 decision, and the new ruling, by the same panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, does not lift that stay. That means Judge Scheindlin’s rulings remain blocked unless, for example, the city’s appeal is withdrawn, a step Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio has promised to take after he is sworn in on Jan. 1.

But in the opinion issued late Wednesday, the three-judge panel seemed eager to explain its terse Oct. 31 order, in which it bluntly declared that Judge Scheindlin “ran afoul” of the judicial code of conduct by appearing to steer the stop-and-frisk litigation to her docket in 2007 and by giving press interviews while the case was pending. The judge’s actions had compromised “the appearance of impartiality surrounding this litigation,” the panel had said.

The tone of the new opinion is completely different. It describes Judge Scheindlin as “a long-serving and distinguished jurist.” It notes that the earlier order had referred to the judicial code of conduct. “We now clarify that we did not intend to imply in our previous order that Judge Scheindlin engaged in misconduct,” the panel said.

The panel did not back away from its earlier conclusion that certain actions by the judge related to how the stop-and-frisk lawsuit ended up before her would lead “a reasonable observer” to “conclude that the appearance of impartiality had been compromised.” Those actions, combined with her press statements, the panel said, could lead such an observer to “question the impartiality of the judge.”

But the panel, made up of Judges John M. Walker Jr., José A. Cabranes and Barrington D. Parker Jr., reiterated, “We do not find that there was any judicial misconduct or violation of any ethical duty.”

Michael A. Cardozo, the corporation counsel and the city’s top lawyer, said in a statement Wednesday, “The Court’s ruling removing Judge Scheindlin from the case was correct.”

Burt Neuborne, a law professor at New York University who has sought to represent Judge Scheindlin before the appeals court, said of the new order: “Her reputation is vindicated. They spoke to her as a colleague and not as a disciplinarian.”

In a separate development, the state attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, is expected to release a report Thursday examining 150,000 arrests that the New York Police Department made that began as stop-and-frisk encounters between 2009 and 2012.

The report is one of the first to examine in detail how arrests connected with police stops fare in the courts. About 6 percent of such stops by the police result in an arrest, and of those cases, only about half ended with a person being found guilty in court, the report found.
