Uncle Sam's alCIAda Fails to Frame-Up the Liberty City Seven

In one of the most comedic spectacles of Vanilla Justice in recent memory, Uncle Sam failed last week to frame-up 7 Florida residents on charges that they hoped to some day, with the help of the FBI, blow up the Sears Tower.

The plan was hatched by a FBI 'investigator' doubling as an alCIAda operative and had, as its mission, the entrapment of the 7 men. But the plan never got off the ground. The AP reports:

The group never actually made contact with alCIAda. Instead, a paid FBI informant known as Brother Mohammed posed as an alCIAda emissary.

The operative word, here, is 'posed.' Brother Mohammed was just a Pig.

The FBI/alCIAda team has worked together conducting terrorist operations for more than a decade. And just as the FBI took the lead before, during, and after 911 to engineer the cover-up, they took the lead here. However, rather than load a couple buildings with explosives, this time the Feds simply wanted to frame-up some brown folk and make a statement.

Defense Attorney Albert Levin hits the nail squarely on the head when he said after the trial: "This was all written, directed and produced by the FBI,"

Reuters reports that in its effort to entrap the men, the alCIAda operative promised "machine-guns, a rocket launcher, military uniforms, bullet-proof vests and other gear to build an army." Once the FBI organized the army, they planned to "spread chaos by poisoning salt-shakers in restaurants and blowing up buildings."

Luckily, the jury wasn't taken by the blatant and careless huckstering that characterizes the actions and behavior of the FBI/alCIAda tag team.

A Belated Congratulations to Barry Bonds

Despite being huge sports fans, we at Savage Justice recognize their chief value lies for the ruling order in their ability to distract and propagandize the masses, thereby making them easier to manipulate and control.

Lacking the patience of Dave Zirin (author of What's My Name, Fool? and Welcome to the Terrordome), who has entered full-boar into the lion's den and taken on the most reactionary elements of the Athletic Supporting Industry, we ordinarily opt for other issues and causes. But here, we make an exception.

Zirin's work has shown that just as sports can serve as a safe-haven for nationalistic barbarism, it can also act as a catalyst for revolutionary growth and education.

Which brings us to the instructive case of Mr. Bonds.

Bonds is unquestionably the best baseball player - and perhaps the best athlete - of the modern age. No player has parlayed his skill-set into results with Bonds's devastating success. His combination of power and speed, his selective eye, his defense, and his competitive fire - evidenced by both his longevity and his consistency - make him, without question, the best player anyone under 33 years old has ever witnessed.

So why, rather than lauding his accomplishments, has the Athletic Supporting Industry attacked Bonds with such vitriol?

The claim, of course, is that Bonds cheated... that he used steroids.

This is simply smoke & mirrors. The assertions of Bonds's guilt have no foundation in either fact or law. Rather they are based on grand jury testimony illegally leaked to reporters from the San Francisco Chronicle by attorneys for the steroid-maker BALCO.

The leaks, in other words, were a criminal conspiracy by Uncle Sam and steroid-makers primarily to indict Bonds, preventing him from breaking the record. Secondarily, they used the unsubstantiated accusations, treated as fact, to attack him in the media.

On the first count, they failed miserably. But their success in using steroid-lobby propaganda to taint Bonds's achievement is unquestionable. The failed conspiracy to prevent Bonds's run only heightened the rhetoric and exacerbated the degree to which the Athletic Supporting Industry disregards even the pretense of due process.

Vanilla Justice strikes again!

Ignoring facts, Vanilla Sam has opted to use the self-interested and self-righteous accusations of steroid-makers to justify their on-air lynching of Bonds. So much for the anti-steroid crusade!

But of course their assault on Bonds has nothing to do with racism

Of course!

I mean, some of Bud Selig & BALCO's best friends are Black!

Right?

Just as Uncle Sam's system of Vanilla Justice uses trumped-up chargers and baseless accusations to frame and lock-up the innocent every day, the Athletic Supporting Industry has use the fabricated steroid accusations against Bonds to delegitimize his historic accomplishment.

In other words, the 'steroids' canard provides cover for White Supremacy.

In a piece entitled "Home Runs, Heroes and Hypocrisy: Performance Enhancement in Black and White," well-known activist Tim Wise cuts to pieces the hypocrisy of an Athletic Supporting Industry that deifies the "Good Old Days" of Jim Crow Baseball, contrasting it with their sanctimonious crusade against Bonds.

Fundamentally, Wise asks, "how can white Americans call for Bonds to have his records marred by an asterisk, while continuing to revere the records and performances of their white baseball heroes of eras past - folks with names like DiMaggio, Williams, Ruth and Cobb - who benefited from a much greater 'performance enhancement' than that which steroids can provide: namely, the racist exclusion of black athletes from the major leagues?"

It's the perfect question. Wise continues:

From 1887, when blacks were run out of white-dominated professional baseball leagues, until 1947, when Jackie Robinson first stepped onto a field for the Brooklyn Dodgers, every white baseball player for six decades had been protected from black competition. And protection from competition is the most profound form of artificial performance enhancement imaginable...

All of the records set by white players prior to 1947 are tainted. Any time that someone is protected from competition (be that someone an athlete or a corporation), the one who is protected gets to shine, without having to prove themselves against the full range of possible talent. Barry Bonds, on the other hand, even if juiced by steroids, had to compete against the best (many of whom were no doubt also using such medicinal enhancements), and as such, enjoyed far less of a relative boost in his career than white players did for nearly half of the twentieth century.

After making this point with compelling clarity, Wise wisely anticipates the Vanilla Sam's time-tested caveat:

Confronted with the argument that maybe Williams, DiMaggio, and especially Babe Ruth wouldn't have been as good, had they been required to play against black players, most white folks fall back on what they consider their trump card, which, to them seems to differentiate the performance enhancement of steroids from the performance enhancement of white privilege and institutionalized favoritism. Namely, they suggest, Barry Bonds broke the rules, while Ruth and company merely played within the boundaries of the rules, as they existed at the time...

But there are several things about this argument that are wrong, illogical, or ethically indefensible. To begin with, during the period of Bonds' steroid use, there was actually no rule against steroids in major league baseball. So, in point of fact, Bonds - assuming he used steroids - did not break the rules of the game. Yes, using the substances without a prescription is illegal, but we don't take records away from players for breaking the law. If we did... what of Ruth, who once tried injecting himself with sheep hormones to get an edge on the competition, and who kept right on drinking, even in the age of prohibition when booze were outlawed?

Even worse, the argument that segregation was "just the way it was," implies that we are not under any obligation to challenge injustice, unless we ourselves created it, and that if we collaborate with it, we bear no moral responsibility for its perpetuation...

Had Gehrig ended his long-standing record of consecutive games played because of opposition to racism, it would have been one of the most important sports stories of all time....

In other words, whites, by knowingly protecting themselves from some of the game's greatest players, "cheated" every bit as much as Bonds may have, via the use of anabolics. That the method for cheating was institutionalized, so that the rules themselves amounted to fraud, and that racial cheating was given the imprimatur of law hardly provides moral cover for the practice's ethical failings, and the failings of those who took advantage.

Oh, and not to put too fine a point on it, but in parts of the country (including most of the Northeast) the laws of the local communities actually prohibited segregation by race... So perhaps we should erase the records of the Yankees, erase the Babe, erase Ted Williams' 1941 season in which he hit .406 for the Red Sox: another team in a Northern city, with laws against segregation, but which remained segregated anyway (and in Boston's case, they were the longest holdout against black players due to the legendary racism of their owner).

Wises's piece continues, relentlessly demolishing Vanilla Sam's sports mythology in systematic fashion.

I would strongly encourage reading the entire piece.

But the point is made. The Bonds case exposes the cowardice, hypocrisy, and ignorance of the Athletic Supporting Industry - their Whitewashing of history and their use of steroids as a convenient pretext for more Vanilla Justice.

Uncle Sam's Frame-Up of Jose Padilla Continues

In a post entitled "No Evidence, No Problem" at the blog Left i on the News, Comrade Eli Stephens has written instructively about the bizarre case of Jose Padilla, the citizen kidnapped by Uncle Sam and held without charge for 5 years in a Concentration Camp as a "military combatant," a confected rhetorical device used by Uncle Sam's WarOn Terrorists to justify ignoring the constitution.

Surely one can easily recall how Padilla was kidnapped on the basis of a claim by John Ashcroft (see video below) that he planned to use a "dirty bomb"?

Well, his silly claim is no longer part of the case - it was, however, necessary for the propaganda campaign needed to establish a precedent. In other words, Padilla's another victim of Vanilla Justice.

Reconstructions End, The Terrorists Gains: Colored Ballots, White Bullets
Part II
by Tracey James

In the second part of his two-part program on White Terrorism during the Reconstruction period, James goes into the dynamics of how the White Line and other groups systematically used terrorism and violence as a means to regain control of the South in the decade following the Uncle Sam's Second Revolution.

James explains that "while the Civil War was essentially about Slavery it was not about true Black human emancipation or liberation." In fact, Uncle Sam did nothing to punish this terrorism. Instead, he cut a deal during the 1876 election that ended Reconstruction and gave Vanilla Terrorists their day in the sun.

James links the similarities between the treatment of Black people found themselves in during the economic crisis of the 1870s with the Native Aboriginals of the time. He shows how the North's 'victory' in the civil war and the Republican 'victory' during the election of 1876 really marked a 'victory' for industrial capitalism and the centrality of a new type of slavery - Wage Slavery - on Uncle Sam's plantation. It was for the Capitalist Class of the Northern Industrialist's benefit.

James concludes the show with a commentary - 'Happy 4th of Jul-lie, it ain't our independence day' - that helps highlight the abomination that is the "American Experiment."

Release Kenneth Foster NOW!DOWN with Uncle Sam's Police State!

On 30 August, Uncle Sam and the state of Texas plan to use an arbitrary legal technicality called the "law of parties" to murder author and poet Kenneth Foster for the crime of driving a car near the scene of a murder.

Predictably, Foster's court-appointed lawyer did little to defend him, paying lip-service to both his categorical innocence and the extenuating circumstances of Foster's case. For this he no-doubt earned an assist from Uncle Sam and furthered his career.

Like most death-penalty cases, Foster's case has nothing at all to do with the crime itself and everything to do with Uncle Sam's system of Vanilla Justice. He uses this form of legalized murder today just as he used lynching during Jim Crow - to send a message and intimidate the oppressed, often through its arbitrariness, about who has power.

In that respect, Uncle Sam's murders here on the Plantation serve the same function as his concentration camps abroad. These modes of coercion embody the perverted use of justice in a Police State.

To add your name to the growing chorus of people who want to see Foster released, visit the Save Kenneth blog or click on the title above for more information.

Reconstructions End, The Terrorists Gains: Colored Ballots, White Bullets (Part 1)
by Tracey James

During the Reconstruction period, armed White supremacist terrorist groupings like the White League (The armed branch of the Democratic party) aimed to destroy human beings and eviscerate their basic human rights. As the legislative branch of White supremacy during the period, the actions of the Democratic party shed a bright light on the real America. The quagmire Black people found themselves in and the horror we faced can only be compared to the Native Aboriginals populations of this land. For while the Civil War was essentially about Slavery it was not about true Black human emancipation and or liberation - there is a difference.

In this (Beyond The Shadows) two part program called 'Reconstructions End, The Terrorists Gains: Colored Ballots, White Bullets,' Slave Revolt shoots straight into this topic. We examine how the Elite White Planter Class of the South (raw material producers that exploited Slave labor) and the Elite White Industrial class (Railroad, Steel, Bankers, etc)of the North (the raw material manufactures that exploited Wage laborers) had two different visions of domination and expansion for America. This Political, Economic, World view was settled by the Northern Industrialist Capitalist Class destroying the Southern Elites labor base - Slave labor - during the Civil War. Yet this was not for Black peoples benefit. It was for the Capitalist Class of the Northern Industrialist benefit, which becomes clear as Black people try to Reconstruct their lives in the Reconstruction period in the south.

Clip from Eric Foner (Author of the epic Reconstuction as well as many other books, including Forever Free), Nicholas Lemann (Author of the book Redemption, the last battle of the Civil War) and others along with a Tracey James Commentary 'Happy 4th of Jul-lie, it ain't our independence day' help highlight the abomination that is the "American Experiment" - an Experiment that needs to Experience another Civil War For the Slaves By the Slaves so that the Slaves can truly benefit.

Release POCC Minister of Defense Aaron Patterson Today!

Earlier today, Uncle Sam held a sentencing hearing for Political Prisoner Aaron Patterson in Chicago.

Stephanie Joy Tisdale summarizes the trumped-up case against Patterson in The Liberator:

Aaron Patterson’s journey with the political structure of Chicago began in April 1986, when an elderly couple was stabbed to death and he was arrested as a possible suspect... Patterson was tortured during his “interrogation”—including severe beatings and suffocation... [He] etched into a bench while in police custody: “Aaron 4/30 I lie about murders. Police threaten me with violence. Slapped and suffocated me with plastic. No lawyer or dad. No phone. Signed false statement to murders.” (Ironically, the message would remain in the bench close to 20 years later and would help to further prove that Patterson was, in fact, tortured)....

“Chicago is the torture capital,” says Chairman Fred Hampton, Jr. “Chicago’s Area 2 Violent Crimes Unit is called the ‘House of Screams’ due to the torture of prisoners including everything from electric shock on sexual organs to being hand-cuffed to radiators and doused with water.” The chief coordinator of Area 2 was Lt. Jon Burge “who’s name came to stand for police brutality” (Chicago Tribune). Burge was a military policeman during the Vietnam War and later joined the Chicago Police force. He was fired in February 1993 after being implicated for the torture of Andrew Wilson in 1982. Subsequently, more than 100 victims came forward with allegations of torture by Burge or his subordinates: Aaron Patterson was one of them. Throughout the 1970’s and 80’s Jon Burge, fresh out of Vietnam, extorted “confessions” from detainees using tactics like suffocation with typewriter covers, the use of cattle prods, electric shocks, beatings and "Russian Roulette..." In 1990, after years of complaints and public pressure, a formal investigation of Burge and his detectives finally took place and he was let go. To date, Jon Burge resides in Florida where he receives a pension and benefits.

A pension & benefits for a sadistic torturer? Now that's Vanilla Justice! Tisdale continues:

As the case against Burge defined itself, Cook County State's Atty. Richard Devine attempted to bribe Patterson and others—offering to reduce their sentences if they admitted guilt and dropped their claims against Burge. Patterson refused, stating in a Chicago Tribune interview: “Much as I'd like to get out of here, I'm going to stay until we get this thing right. I'm pretty much certain they know now I didn't do it, but they're trying to wiggle their way out of it... But I'm not so frantic that I just want to get out. If you're innocent, you've got to make your stand..."

Aaron Patterson would remain on death row until January 2003, when Illinois Gov. George Ryan pardoned him and three other death row inmates on the grounds that their confessions were a result of police torture... Upon release, Patterson became a central figure in the campaign to expose Burge and the impropriety of the Chicago political structure....

Patterson continued to advocate on behalf of tortured prisoners and victims of the Chicago political structure, many of whom remained on death row. He would go on to file a civil suit (which is still pending) and to run for office, while also working as the Minister of Defense for the POCC. “Aaron ran for State Representative in the 2nd District and on his platform he used the African Anti-Terrorism Bill,” says Chairman Fred. And that is when things took a turn for the worse..."

“Operation Revolving Door” was launched that same day by Joe Gorman, Jr... which would result in the arrest of Aaron Patterson in August 2004. The charge: attempt to purchase weapons and narcotics from an undercover informant... Since then, Aaron Patterson has been incarcerated based on the testimony of police informant Mario Fox, who was himself incarcerated for cocaine possession and subsequently released from jail in order to work as an informant.

Aaron Patterson’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 20th, 2007. It is important to remember that Aaron Patterson was pardoned in 2003 and released from jail only to be rearrested (on hearsay) less than two years later... As with Mumia Abu-Jamal and so many unjustly incarcerated individuals, Aaron Patterson needs and requires our support, our energy and our commitment to freedom for all.

The Sean Bell Shooting:
Police sponsored violence and the American Intelligence Psy-ops operation against Black Resistance (A Slave Case Study)
by Tracey James

The recent Urban lynching of Sean Bell and the near fatal slaughter of his two friends should come as no surprise to anyone halfway awake. This is part of the American war for subjugation, containment, and exploitation agenda against the targeted populations on Sam's plantation. Like Amadou (41 shots) Diallo who was a victim of New York's 'War on guns' program. And Iraqis citizens who are victims of Sam's 'War on terrorism/War on WMD's' claims. The tactics of deceit must be in full throttle for the Rulers to carry out their goals. Thus these claims of a 'War on ...' is just a pretext for the Capitalist systems of controls on the populace.

In this (Beyond The Shadow) piece called 'The Sean Bell Shooting: Police sponsored violence and the American Intelligence Psy-ops operation against Black Resistance (A Slave Case Study)' 'SR' attempts to examine this process. From the F.B.I.'s program out of Quantico Virginia's Psy-ops program on Black People in North America, to the role of the Corporate media, the police, Mayors, and so-called Negro leaders. The Psy-ops game is in full effect. The Negro Marketed intergrationalist 'leaders' who are collaborators with the Imperial State Order know their role and place. Weather they have a Democratic or Republican flag stuck up their behinds matters not.

Destruction of lives on a daily bases is all these cesspool Market Capitalist and their believers have to offer the world. Weather you live in the Congo, Iraq, The Nuba Mountains, Darfur, or New York the method for our destruction is basically all the same. And so are the various Psy-ops programs against us.

The Central Park Jogging Case
by Tracey James

In September of 2002 when the Central Park rapist and violent assaulter Martias Raye's admitted to being the lone attacker of Trisha Meili. Many thought that police reforms would be implamented in the face of five black and Latino teens being framed up and convicted in this racially explosive case in April of 1989 in New York.

Yet the truth that was exposed about the corruption of the State brought no real changes locally or nationally. Even though the frame up of the teens rung in many draconian police command society laws, tactics, and mind sets. In this (Beyond the Shadow) segment called 'Fascism in America will be as simple as a jog in the park: The Central Park jogging case'. Slave Revolt deals with this tale of horror in this horrible American experiment.

Listen and hear how wretched opportunistic savages in American politics, from the world of capitalistic money, to sick assistant attorney's like Linda Fairstein, mixed in with the iron fisted brutes (the police) took advantage of this case of lies and frame up. Find out how calls for justice for the slaves and their defenders keep falling on deaf ears in a sick society that only hears the vocal tunes of the fascist. The drum beat of the goose stepping 'Order'. And the sights and screams of the modern day lynch mobbers of innocent Black and Latino teens. Which for many in America is as simple as a jog in the park.

A Tale of Two Cities: Malibu and New Orleans
by Tracey James

If one honestly wants a hawks eye view of how race and class preference are played out and are intertwined in America and it's cities this true living tale is for you. It is a classic tale of American inclusion and exclusion. Support and denial. Generosity and genocide.

This hour Slave Revolt! in a (Beyond the shadow) segment titled 'A tale of two cities: 'Vanilla' Malibu, 'Chocolate' New Orleans' we explore how Fema responds to 'Vanilla' Malibu when it's frequent and natural firestorms blaze it's way through the zones that Malibu residents insist on living. This is in comparison to 'Chocolate' New Orleans. How public money is distributed is contrasted in black and white.

The response of Mayors, Governors, and the 'Orders' law enforcement agencies in the two cities gives some insight what flavor is prefered in this society. The privatized racialized order then blends together who profits off of these disasters regardless of what city you reside in. Making it clear that this 'Vanilla' koolade is a human made capitalist drink with the ingredients of a hierarchical elitist, economic, psychological, social political mixture that puts the Jim Jones/CIA koolade to shame.
