CIA Torture Prisons In Poland

It is high time Obama's satanic CIA be disbanded and it's murdering torturers publicly prosecuted for their crimes against humanity; Congress needs to cut funding completely to drug-running, human-trafficking scumbags

The European Court of Human Rights confirmed on February 17 that the Polish government was complicit in the CIA’s secretive programme of rendition, detention and interrogation. The Court in Strasbourg rejected a challenge from the Polish government to a landmark ruling from last July, the decision which now makes that original judgement final. Poland did violate the human rights by being a host to CIA secret prisons in violation of the human rights convention. Poland is the first EU member to be found guilty of complicity in the CIA’s secret detention programme and responsible for multiple violations of the detainees’ rights.

It means that the Polish government now faces a substantial bill for damages and legal costs. It has to conduct full examination to make precise who among Polish officials was responsible for prisons functioning on Polish soil. 

July’s judgment said that two current Guantánamo inmates, Anbu Zubaydah and Abd-al-Rahim al-Nashiri were held in a CIA prison in Poland. They had been subject to torture (they both are in Guantanamo now). 

Poland failed in its duty under European human rights law to protect them or investigate what happened. The Polish government has already agreed to pay compensations to these persons. 

Poland does its best to conceal unsavory facts. In September 2014 human rights commissioner Nils Muižnieks called upon Poland to conduct full investigation without delay and publish the results making those who were guilty responsible even if they held top government positions. Polish prosecutors have been investigating the allegations about the CIA jail since March 2008. Zbigniew Siemiątkowski, the former Polish intelligence chief in 2002-2004, is charged with «abuse of office», "unlawfully depriving prisoners of their liberty" and «the use of physical force» against prisoners.

According to Polish media, charges could be brought against Andrzej Derlatka, deputy chief of the intelligence service, responsible for the relations with the US, former Polish President Alexander Kvasnevsky and former Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller, the current leader of Democratic Left Alliance.

Leszek Miller has firmly affirmed many times there were no CIA jails in Poland ever. 

Now he says something different as the facts keep on piling up. According to him, he was not aware of the prison’s existence in Poland. 

Alexander Kvasnevsky says the same thing. 

Dick Marti, the head of the PACE Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, says some Europeans knew about the existence of secret CIA jails at least since 2004. 

In early December 2014, Aleksander Kwasniewski acknowledged in an interview following the publication of the US Senate report that his country had let the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) run a secret prison. The prison was located in the Stare Kiejkuty intelligence base in northeastern Poland, 170 km from Warsaw. Prisoners suspected of involvement in terrorist activities were transported there to be interrogated with the use of tortures. CIA aircraft landed in Shimanah.

Kwasniewski continues to say the Polish government did not know about it. It’s hard to believe. Polish media has been reporting about the local branch of "American GULAG" for ten years. Even ultra-liberal Gazeta Wyborcza admitted the fact in December 2005. It wrote then that the main CIA secret jail in Europe was in Poland. 

In 2001 Andrzej Lepper, a former Polish deputy Prime Minister in the cabinet of Yaroslav Kachinsky (2006-2007) and the leader of the small, populist Self-Defense Party, made accusations on alleged landing of a plane carrying some Taliban in a village called Klewki, not much distant from the CIA’s site in Stare Kiejkuty. Journalists asked him what he knew about the secret installations but he refused to elaborate being afraid for his life. In 2011 he was found dead in this office in the heart of Warsaw. The death took place under extremely strange circumstances. 

The investigation on secret jails has been dragging on for seven years. Perhaps this inefficiency is explained by the fact that there are too many top positioned persons involved. No wonder the investigators work is so slow. Lawyers have insisted to make the legal proceedings closed keeping media out. 

No matter that, leaks made the information on kidnappings and tortures public domain. It has been revealed that Poles actively cooperated in "enhanced interrogation techniques" to include harsh methods such as dehydration, temperature extremes mixed with threats of death, with a gun or electric drill kept at the prisoner’s head. 

According to the Washington Post, former agency officials directly involved in the program, such as Jose Rodriguez, the CIA’s former deputy director of operations, have said that the harsh techniques produced "dramatic positive results."

American media reported that Mike Sealy, a senior intelligence officer, was assigned to run the Polish "black site." He was called a "program manager." Polish officials could visit a common area where lunch was served, but they didn’t have access to the detainees.

Poland should be isolated from the international community indefinitely until such time as the government is completely forthcoming on all CIA detentions on Polish soil

At present Poland is the only country where the secret jails investigation may end up in persecution of state’s former top officials. Unfortunately it’s not excluded that Americans would prefer Poland to follow the example of other European Union members where the CIA prisons related scandals were let slide to make public forget about it. In Poland the associates of those who may face responsibility try to paint the scandal as advantageous for the ruling cabinet as it is trying to deviate the public attention from burning social problems.

Bill O'Reilly Accused Of Lying In Book About Being At Door Of "Ex - FBI Agent Who Held Key To Kennedy Assassination" At Moment He Killed Himself

Fox "News" loudmouth reaps what he has sewn over the years; the real question is when will Fox corporate attorneys finally decide that O'Reilly is now a serious liability and cut him loose even as Ailes attempts futile cover-up for the sputtering, filth-spewing, completely discredited hack    

DAILY MAIL
By Louise Boyle For Daily Mail and Associated Press

02/25/2015

• The Fox News host has said in best-selling books and on TV that he 'heard' the fatal gunshot at the Florida home of George de Mohrenschildt in 1977

• De Mohrenschildt was a friend of JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald who had given evidence to the government

• Three veteran journalists disputed O'Reilly's claims

• Tracy Rowlett, a former anchor and managing editor of Dallas-Fort Worth station KTVT, said: 'Bill O'Reilly's a phony, there's no other way to put it'

• Fox News CEO Roger Ailes has said he fully supports O'Reilly

Bill O'Reilly lied about being at the home of a witness in the JFK assassination investigation when hecommitted suicide, according to new claims from veteran colleagues.

O'Reilly now being tarred with the same brush he

has used so many times in the past

The Fox News host has reiterated in his own best-selling books and TV interviews that he 'heard' the fatal gunshot at the Florida home of George de Mohrenschildt in 1977 while he was a reporter for Dallas-based WFAA-TV.

Several of O'Reilly's esteemed former colleagues told Media Matters that he is lying - and a police report and government investigation also undermined the Fox star's version of events.

De Mohrenschildt was a friend of shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, and had given testimony to the investigation following President Kennedy's assassination.

On the day De Mohrenschildt was contacted by the House Select Committee on Assassinations, he took his own life.

For unexplained reasons, O'Reilly wrote in his bestseller, Killing Kennedy, that 'as a reporter knocked on the door of de Mohrenschildt's daughter's home, he heard the shotgun blast that marked the suicide of the Russian ... that reporter's name is Bill O'Reilly'. 

O'Reilly claims that in 1977 he 'heard' the fatal gunshot in

the suicide of George de Mohrenschildt

Jefferson Morley, a former Washington Post reporter and author, first wrote about O'Reilly's alleged lies on his website, JFKFacts.org.

Mr Morley has previously worked at The Washington Post and Salon and is a visiting professor at the University of California, Washington Center.

He told Media Matters that O'Reilly's claims about de Mohrenschildt's suicide just weren't true.



His claims were backed up by Tracy Rowlett, a veteran journalist who covered the JFK assassination. Mr Rowlett is a former anchor and managing editor of Dallas-Fort Worth station, KTVT. 

He told Media Matters: 'Bill O'Reilly's a phony, there's no other way to put it. 

'He was not up on the porch when he heard the gunshots, he was in Dallas. He wasn't traveling at that time.' 

Another veteran journalist, Byron Harris, who has worked at Texas' WFAA for the past 40 years and won two Peabody Awards for his investigative work, also told Media Matters that O'Reilly made up the story.

A 1977 Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office report into the suicide, which included many witness statements, did not include a statement from O'Reilly.

Daily Mail Online made repeated requests for comment from Fox News on Wednesday.

The latest allegations levied at O'Reilly, 65, came after his reporting during the Falklands War was called into question last week.

O'Reilly had claimed that he reported in a 'war zone' or 'combat zone' during the conflict between Britain and Argentina in 1982. 

CBS News on Monday released video from four stories it aired about the Falklands War in 1982. None of the stories mention O'Reilly, then a young CBS reporter, or makes any specific reference to a CBS crew member being hurt

CBS News on Monday released video from four stories it aired about the Falklands War in 1982, all part of a dispute involving O'Reilly and his subsequent statements about covering the war.

None of the stories mention O'Reilly, then a young CBS reporter, or makes any specific reference to a CBS crew member being hurt.

The television time travel was prompted by a Mother Jones article last week calling into question O'Reilly claims that he reported in a 'war zone' or 'combat zone' during the brief conflict between Britain and Argentina. 

O'Reilly makes an abrupt exit on ESPN radio show

Few reporters made it to the front of the war, some 1,000 miles from the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires.

O'Reilly has said that he covered an anti-government demonstration in Buenos Aires that turned violent and that a photographer he was working with was knocked to the ground and was bleeding. Describing the events two years ago, O'Reilly said he 'dragged off' the photographer from danger.

Former CBS News correspondent Eric Engberg, who was also covering the event, characterized O'Reilly's account as 'dishonest' and 'completely nutty' during a Huffington Post interview on Monday. 

Engberg said none of the camera operators working the night in question remember any of their colleagues being injured. The camera person who was said to be hurt has not spoken publicly about the matter.

O'Reilly's Fox "News" co-workers now being discredited, smeared with his filth by osmosis

During one of the CBS reports, then-anchor Dan Rather said that several television crew members were knocked to the ground and that North American television crews were 'jostled'.

An Engberg report, also released by CBS Monday, said police fired guns with tear gas and plastic bullets. He said in the report it was not known how many people were hurt, but at least some were seriously injured.

An Associated Press account of the demonstration said that police officers charged a group of about 50 journalists, beating some and trampling others.

'Two news photographers were reported injured by rubber bullets fired by police,' said the June 16, 1982, account by AP writer Douglas Grant Mine.

O'Reilly may not have been present at the de Mohrenschildt "suicide" however it certainly appears from this image that he was present at the Oswald assassination.  As to why Bill omitted this from his book will remain forever a mystery

O'Reilly, on his program Monday night, showed portions of the CBS video and said it proved the event was no 'walk in the park'. 

He interviewed Don Browne, a former NBC News Miami bureau chief who was in the Falklands, who also described the situation. No mention was made in O'Reilly's report on Monday about any CBS News personnel being hurt.

The Mother Jones piece was printed shortly after NBC News anchor Brian Williams was suspended for misrepresenting his experiences in the Iraq War.

O'Reilly, long the most popular prime-time figure in cable news, has called the piece a political hit job. 

Fox News CEO Roger Ailes has said he fully supports O'Reilly.

'I want to stop this now,' O'Reilly said. 'I hope we can stop it, I really do.'

Florida Police Officer Suspended After Slapping Homeless Man

Out of control, coward U.S. cops will soon feel what it is like to be the hunted when public outrage finally reaches a breaking point and boils over  

RT
02/25/2015

A Fort Lauderdale police officer was suspended after a YouTube video surfaced of him slapping a homeless man.

Ft. Lauderdale cops in the news… again

The incident occurred Sunday afternoon when Fort Lauderdale Police Officer Victor Ramirez went to arrest Bruce Laclair, 58, possibly for loitering. 

In the video, the officer is seen escorting Laclair out of a bus terminal when Laclair seems to resist. The officer then pushes him to the ground.

Laclair can be heard swearing at the police officer, who responds with, “Relax. I am going to tell you what is going to happen right now. I am going to escort you out right now.”

Laclair tells Ramirez he needs to pee, but the officer tells him he cannot. The officer then tells Laclair to get up, but then says, “I’ll push you to the ground and beat you if you [expletive] want to fight me.” The two argue for a few more seconds before the officer slaps Laclair, who falls onto his side.

Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler said the 

officer’s conduct was out of line. “It’s unacceptable,” 

Seiler said. “I was very disturbed by the video. I was 

very frustrated by the timing of it because we have 

been dealing with these issues and I thought we’d 

kind of put all of this behind us”

“I’m not [expletive] around with you. Don’t [expletive] touch me,” the officer said.

The officer handcuffs Laclair and proceeds to check his pockets. After radioing other personnel, Ramirez finally walks away with Laclair.

Laclair was charged with trespassing. He pleaded no contest on arraignment and was released from jail on Monday, though he was ordered to pay a $300 fine.

A witness to the incident told Local 10 News that it began after Ramirez told Laclair to leave the bus terminal. While there are signs posted around the terminal that warn people against loitering, it is unclear if that is exactly why Laclair was asked to leave.

"There was a bunch of commotion," Gerald Schorder told Local 10 News, who said he saw the slap. "The guy didn't raise his hand to the officer at all. The officer just knocked him down with his hands. The guy was defenceless."

After the video surfaced, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department launched an internal investigation. Ramirez has been suspended with pay.

Advocates for the homeless are speaking out about the incident, stating that situations like this one are becoming more and more commonplace.

"We've heard over the last 20 years that that kind of thing happens," Sean Cononie, founder of the advocacy group Homeless Voice, told Al Jazeera America. He said that Laclair’s alleged treatment was indicative of a city determined to rid itself of all homeless people. 

"They treat you like you're nothing but a piece of filth."

Homeless advocates like Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP) are campaigning for a bill called 'Right to Rest' in several states, which would put an end to laws targeting people who sit, eat, sleep, or stand in public places. The bill has been introduced in Oregon and Colorado, and organizers are looking for a sponsor in California.

“It doesn’t matter where you go. Everywhere you go you’re a broken window and cops need to get rid of you,” Paul Boden, executive director of WRAP, said. “As a cop, if I see you in my town, and I don’t want people like you in my town, I’m going to use laws against standing, sitting, sleeping, eating — things we all do — to get you out of my town.” A report by law students at the University of California, Berkeley discovered that the surge in laws targeting life-sustaining activities in public coincide with cuts in federal funding for affordable housing, which began in the early 1980s. 

“Homelessness isn’t a criminal justice issue…it’s about lack of housing not lack of cops,” Boden said.

Doctor & State Senator Wants Medical Freedom For Herself, But Not For Citizens

Pro-vaccination "doctors" along with Congress supporters and their "mainstream media" shills should ALL be forcibly vaccinated with these corporate killer concoctions that contain aborted fetus material and cancer tumours

THE LIBERTY BEACON
02/24/2014

As we have previously reported, the state of Oregon wants to take away the right to informed consent and vaccine choice and mandate vaccines for all children statewide. The bill was introduced by Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, a State Senator in Oregon who is also a medical doctor.

The public attended a hearing on the bill last week Robert Snee from Portland addressed the Senate Committee on Health Care, which includes Hayward.

Attorney Snee began by addressing the American Medical Association’s published Code of Ethics which states physicians may claim a religious or philosophical reason not to be immunized. Snee makes the point that if physicians have the right to such exemptions, how is it legal to take that right away from citizens of the State?

Attorney Snee then quoted from an article published in the American Academy of Family Physicians featuring Oregon Senator Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, M.D. In the article, Hayward is addressing the issues she was facing with taking drugs during pregnancy. Dr. Hayward suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS), and according to the article abstained from taking her MS drugs during pregnancy because of her presumed concern over her unborn child.

After her second child was born, according to the article, she consulted with a neurologist about her options in breastfeeding her second child:

The subspecialist informed Steiner Hayward in no uncertain terms that she was going to start interferon therapy immediately and she would not be allowed to breastfeed.

But Steiner Hayward had other ideas.

“Breastfeeding protects against autoimmune disorders, and I have MS,” she said, laughing and shaking her head. “So I did the research and told her I thought interferon was too big to get into breast milk and that I was going to go ahead and breastfeed.

“She, of course, thought I was crazy and told me I was not to do that. So I went out and found another neurologist who respected the fact that I was an FP and I knew what I was talking about, and he agreed that (breastfeeding) was OK.” (Source.)

Forced vaccinations are great for "the peasants," but not for Her Highness Elizabeth Steiner and her corporate pro-vaccination masters who know just what these killer concoctions contain and in any event, how responsible is it to become pregnant and give birth when one has a terminal disease?

At this point in his testimony, Attorney Snee was stopped by Steiner Hayward who was sitting just across from him, in a very visibly upset tone, claiming that the attorney was “impugning her integrity” by relaying the story from the American Academy of Family Physicians article. 

She then went on to explain why she disagreed with her doctor’s recommendation not to take her MS drugs and continue breastfeeding, based on her own research and what she felt was “best for my child.” She states:

"So I would be very grateful if you did not take my decision, my personal decision about my medical care out of context."

It is very informative and indeed amusing to see Christian fundamentalist, pro-vaccination MSM shills attempt to justify being injected with aborted feral cells

Attorney Snee responded that he had no intention of impugning anyone, but that he was simply pointing out that the sponsor of the bill in Oregon who wanted to take away the right to informed consent on medical procedures such as vaccines made a decision to disagree with a medical treatment that affected someone else, and that her right to do so was the same right citizens were seeking to retain for themselves.

This is a perfect example of medical tyranny in action in the United States of America, happening right in the legislative branch of the Oregon State government.

"ABORTED FETAL MATERIAL???

Elizabeth Steiner Hayward wants the right to make her own personal medical decisions for her and her children, even if means disagreeing with a medical specialist who presumably had more knowledge than her in the matter of the pharmaceutical product she was considering.

However, this medical doctor, who is also a lawmaker, does not want anyone else in Oregon to have the same freedom of choice in regards to other medical products like vaccines. 

This would include other doctors and medical professionals who do not share the same views on vaccines and the science behind them as does Steiner Hayward, so she wants to use the power of government to force everyone else to believe like she does.

One of the doctors in Oregon who would be forced to give some vaccines to patients that he presently does not give vaccines to, would be Paul Thomas, M.D., FAAP. 

Dr. Thomas is a board-certified fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. 

He also testified against SB 442 in front of the Senate Committee on Health Care in Oregon.
