There is no real War on Terror.
Just propaganda, psy-ops, and illegal wars.
Only war crime charges against Bush, Cheney, Gonzalez, Rice, Rumsfeld, et al will start to fix the damage.
More wars and continued rigged elections will not settle us down.
I now believe the fix is in for Obama or Hillary to be the next President. The ptb's want to settle down the increasing awareness that we are led by fascist pigs. They want to dupe a large percentage of Americans into thinking things must be getting better if we now have our first woman or African-American President. It's good cop, bad cop shit. Or else we end up with Romney or McCain. What a joke of a country we are. What a sad world this is.
the people united will never be defeated
We must never give up. You can't start illegal wars and mayhem based on lies.
NYC subways adding dogs, armed officers Teams of Armed Officers, Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Being Added to New York City Subways

Teams of police officers armed with submachine guns and bomb-sniffing dogs will soon be patrolling the busiest parts of New York City subways as part of a major increase in regional security funding.
The subway initiative is one use of the $151.2 million in new grant money from the Department of Homeland Security to transit systems in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Last year, they received $98 million.
Explaining the increase, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said law enforcement officials in the three states "have to deal with vulnerabilities and threats in this region that are really second to none." ......
Woman sues Ohio sheriff's deputy over 'outrageous' strip search

Hope Steffey's night started with a call to police for help. It ended with her face down, naked, and sobbing on a jail cell floor. Now, the sheriff's deputies from Stark County, Ohio who allegedly used excessive force during a strip search 15 months ago face a federal lawsuit, and recently released video won’t help their case.
Steffey's ordeal with the Stark County sheriff's deputies began after her cousin called 9-1-1 claiming Steffey had been assaulted by another one of their cousins. When a Stark County police officer arrived, he asked to see Steffey's driver's license. But instead of handing over her own ID, she mistakenly turned over her dead sister's license, which she contends she keeps in her wallet as a memento. That's when the situation became complicated.
"Hope was not treated as a victim," her lawyer told WKYC News. "The officer said to her 'shut up about your dead sister.'"
Eventually, Steffey was arrested and taken to the Stark County Jail, charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. But once in custody, her attorney says seven jail workers, male and female, forcibly removed Steffey of all her clothes, including her undergarments, while she lay face down in handcuffs. Local news footage shows Steffey wailing, asking "What are you doing?!?"
"And you have to ask yourself, what was the purpose of the strip search?" said Steffey's lawyer. "What was the necessity of it? This was a disorderly conduct claim."
The lawsuit says that Steffey remained in the cell for six hours and wrapped herself in toilet paper to stay warm. During that time, she was not allowed to use a phone or seek medical assistance for injuries she accrued that night, including a cracked tooth, bulging disc, and bruises.
Although the sheriff's policy requires officers conducting any strip search to be of the same sex, the sheriff contends that the tactic used on Steffey was not actually a strip search. He also questions the validiy of the events leading up to Steffey’s arrest.
Once shown the exclusive video, Steffey’s husband was in disbelief. "You don't treat people like this," he said. "I don't think murderers are treated like this."

The youtube video RawStory used was put up by podblanc.com. It wasn't working at the time I posted, so I found a version that was. The video above, with part 2, was also produced by podblanc. I had never heard of them before. But it turns out they are racist pigs themselves. Maybe I should find another version. I DO NOT support hate of any kind.
These are the assholes who put up the video.
I've been checking out the BradBlog a bit more lately. It's a good place, imho. One of Brad's bloggers embedded this video:

A few months back I was happy to see that there are a lot of protests going on in America. One wouldn't know this baseed on what the regular news media provides us for information. Last night I plugged in some search phrases such as police abuse, and wow, there were tons of hits. There are probably even more if one comes up with different search terms. As for cops getting fired for their police brutality, that is not enough. Such pigs need to be prosecuted for their crimes.
Here are a few examples:
