US: Trump Orders Re-Opening of “The Rock” – Notorious Alcatraz Prison! (5.5.2025)

It would take an enormous amount of money to make Alcatraz into a functioning prison, Professor Gabriel Jack Chin from the Davis School of Law at the University of California told the BBC.

The federal prison system is actually down about 25% from its peak population and “there are a lot of empty beds” in existing prisons, Chin said. “So its not clear if a new one is needed.”

Alcatraz has “a reputation as a tough prison” and Trump is trying to send a message that his administration will be tough on crime, Chin added.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat whose district includes Alcatraz, said the proposal was “not a serious one,” while the Democratic state senator for San Francisco, Scott Wiener, called the idea “deeply unhinged” in post on Instagram and “an attack on the rule of law.”

IJAN: Anti-Zionism is Anti-Fascism – Jews Stand With John Avalos! (20.2.2024)

Last week, the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of San Francisco initiated an intimidation campaign against John Avalos, former member of the SF Board of Supervisors and current director of San Francisco’s leading affordable housing coalition, the Council of Community Housing Organizations. JCRC’s immediate goal is to punish Avalos for speaking out about Israel’s genocide in Gaza. But more broadly, this is part of their larger effort to stifle all critique of Israel by mischaracterizing it as antisemitic. JCRC has a long-history of such campaigns, usually targeting people of color-led social justice organizations that take a stand in support of Palestinian rights.

Buddhism: The (1971) Rita Curran Murder – William Richard DeRoos Identified as Killer! (26.3.2023) 

The Vermont Police appear to be attempting to build a ‘racist’ narrative which associates hedonistic drug-taking with the practice of Buddhism. The idea is that ‘drugs’ and ‘Buddhism’ are ‘violent’ and ‘defiant’ of all the norms of Western civilisation – and this is ‘why’ Rita Curran was killed! I would suspect that spaced-out hippies are the least likely of anyone to commit violent crime and that the ‘White’ (conservative) Police are a little confused in their narrative building. If William DeRoos did commit this murder (and the DNA evidence does support this hypothesis) – then he committed this crime because he possesses some type of mental and behavioural ‘illness’ – and not because he chose to align himself with the peaceful and wisdom producing teachings of the Buddha. As for drug-taking – there is no evidence of this at all until much later in his life – the reason for which I would suspect some sort of painful ‘illness’. As always – think for yourself when weighing-up the evidence.

US: Twitter Legally ‘Enforces’ Musk Purchase! (28.10.2022)

On Oct. 4, Musk proposed to proceed with the deal at the original price, just ahead of a trial scheduled at the Delaware Chancery Court on Oct. 17, in which Twitter was set to seek an order directing Musk to close the deal for 44 billion dollars.

In a letter sent to Twitter, Musk offered to continue the deal if the court can adjourn the trial and all other related proceedings.

A Delaware Chancery Court judge eventually ruled that Musk had until Oct. 28 to cement the Twitter deal or head to trial.

Remembering ‘Mei Leung’ (梁美) – the First ‘Chinese’ Victim of Richard Ramirez! (15.9.2022) 

As the US government advisors had declared the Vietnamese people to be ‘sub-human’ – in their warped logic and deficient reasoning – the Vietnamese people as a nation (‘North’ or ‘South’ as it happened) were not legally (or ‘lawfully’) covered by any ‘Human Rights’ legislation! This allowed US soldiers to commit ‘War Crimes’ and ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ and be ‘immune’ from prosecution. Green Berets – like ‘Miguel “Mike” Ramirez’ – were trained to be particularly ‘brutal’ in war already known for its ‘callous’ nature! The systematic ‘kidnapping’, ‘torturing’, ‘raping’, ‘maiming’ and ‘murdering’ of Vietnamese young children (5-10 years old) – including boys and girls – was a paedophilic tactic used by the US Green Berets to ‘terrorise’ the village populations into NOT supporting the local Viet Cong Units or follow any orders emanating from the Hanoi Headquarters of Ho Chi Minh himself! As this criminal behaviour was considered an anti-Communist ‘Social Experiment’ – the Green Berets were ordered to film, photograph and records certain ‘typical’ incidents of this type of ‘mass’ raping, so that US Officials in Washington could assess the ‘effectiveness’ of this type of ‘Psychological’ and ‘Physical’ Warfare!
