A Black Agenda Radio commentary by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
The president’s men drib and drab out their rationale for how President Obama decides which Earthlings live or die. A newly leaked “white paper” claims the president can transfer his killing authority to unnamed, unranked “informed, high level” officials. Thus, the people-killing process “is whatever the president or the nearest ‘informed, high-level official of the U.S. government’ says it is.

Yesterday, Wednesday I stopped by my brothers’ house to visit. He and Liz had seen a “breaking story” on Fox News about school children being killed in Colorado. It was only a brief, no remotes or spokespeople named, only a promise for “more to follow”. The story died there. He monitored the channel for hours. Has anyone else reported this?
I don’t see any other way to contact AE so I’m posting this here.
Ex cop in LA goes on vengeance killing spree against police, several dead so far. Interesting – he explained his motive in an online “manifesto” – here’s the gist of it from an ABC News article:
Killer ex-cop Christopher Dorner’s “manifesto” :
“The department has not changed since the Rampart and Rodney King days. It has gotten worse,” Dorner wrote. “I know I will be vilified by the LAPD and the media. Unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name.”
Much of the letter focused on an episode in which Dorner said he saw a fellow officer use excessive force to kick a suspect who was schizophrenic. He reported the incident to the department’s internal affairs department, kicking off a lengthy investigation that ultimately led to his dismissal from the department for making false statements.
“I had broken their supposed ‘Blue Line,’” he wrote, referring to the notion that police officers protect one another. “It is clear as day that the department retaliated toward me for reporting [the officer]. … The department stated that I had lied and made up the report.”
“The LAPD’s actions have cost me my law enforcement career,” he said. “They cost my naval career. … I’ve lost my relationship with my mother and sister because of the LAPD. I’ve lost a relationship with close friends because of the LAPD. In essence, I’ve lost everything because the LAPD took my name and new (sic) I was INNOCENT!!!” he wrote.
“This is my last resort. The LAPD has suppressed the truth and it has now lead to deadly consequences,” the letter said.
Dorner’s letter ended with a violent warning to cops, however, and one that kept police heavily armed and on edge today despite their dismissal of the letter’s content. He said he would use all of his tactical knowledge from his police and naval experiences to avoid being caught.
“You are aware that I have always been the top shot, highest score, an expert in rifle qualifications in every unit I’ve been in,” he wrote. “I will utilize every bit of small arms training, demolition ordnance, and survival training I’ve been given.”
“I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty,” he wrote. “You will now live the life of the prey.”

Calling Out The Hypocritical, War-Loving Left
We Can’t Afford Saturday Mail Delivery Nomore! Just More WAR!
Why we can’t ‘afford’ Saturday mail delivery: More Marines to Japan; Vietnam, Cambodia next 05 Feb 2013 The Marine Corps’ shift to the Pacific will ramp up considerably this year, with more personnel and aircraft rotating to Japan and other destinations throughout the region. As of late January, there are two infantry battalions rotating through Okinawa for six months at a time, with a third scheduled to start this summer. The Corps also intends to send a contingent of electronic warfare aircraft to its air station in mainland Japan, and a group of explosives experts will undertake a humanitarian mission in Vietnam. Future engagement with Cambodia is on the horizon, too.
Speaking of that, I found the real reason why our military policy is shifting to South East Asia. The banksters and Oil companies are getting shutout and threatened by Asian companies. I see a small war somewhere down the road for sure.
Here is two good articles on it. Damn banksters and corporations are always running our military policy.

Insanity seems to have become an option (moral compass is shot).
