In the wake of a series of mickymouse letter bombs in Fourth Reich(EU) and USA, which did no damage, the call is for increased security, almost certainly costing many more billions of dollars which will enrich former senior officials like Michael Chertoff. Chertoff, who headed the Department of Homeland Security under George Bush, now is a partner in a company that sells security equipment for airports. He has been on television frequently since the first letter bomb was discovered, recommending better and more intrusive security without revealing in any way his own ties to the industry that provides the necessary equipment. He is not alone. Security has become a vast and lucrative enterprise for those in position to cash in. If America's visible empire is its string of hundreds of bases and deployments worldwide, the hidden empire is the military industrial complex with tentacles into nearly every congressional district that supports the endeavor.
And what about the terrorist threat itself? To note that it has been greatly exaggerated would be the understatement of the century. Most Americans would be surprised to learn that no US citizen has been killed in the United States since 9/11 by an actual member of any of the groups that the State Department defines as terrorist. Recent attacks were carried out by loners, individuals who wanted to get even for US attacks on Muslim civilians worldwide, not members of militant groups or motivated by any desire to convert the world to Islam. As Ron Paul has noted, they have attacked us because we are over there, in foreign lands killing civilians.
In Fourth Reich, the letter bombs were sent from Greek students to diplomats, because kleptocrats ignore the huge Greek police brutality. Fourth Reich cannot rein in the freakish Greek police thugs who terrorize innocent citizens. The Greek Ministry of Citizen Protection is a euphemism for the Greek Ministry of Kleptocrat Protection and Citizen Harassment, George Orwell's Miniluv!
Police brutality is the intentional use of excessive force, usually physical, but also in the form of verbal abuse and psychological intimidation, by a police officer.
The Greek police is infamous for its brutality. Amnesty International has longstanding and continuing concerns regarding the failure of the authorities in Greece to ensure that the police respect and protect human rights. Allegations of human rights violations committed by the police continue to be made, in the context of both policing demonstrations and during arrest and detention.
Such violations include excessive use of force during Greek demonstrations; arbitrary detention; torture or other ill-treatment; and denial of prompt access to legal assistance. These patterns of abuse by the Greek police have been documented by Amnesty International over many years, but Graecokleptocrats continue using the police to harass Greeks. Amnesty International has received many reports from Athens and other parts of Greece about arbitrary arrests, ill-treatment, and the denial of prompt access to legal assistance.
Major global riots against police brutality started on December 6, 2008, when Alexis Grigoropoulos, a 15-year-old student, was fatally shot by a police officer without any reason. December 6 is now the International Day Against Police Brutality.
