America’s Political Oligarchy

By Elmer Whittaker

I’m not an all knowing oracle nor do I have any classified information that is not available to everyone. Sometimes I seriously have to re-evaluate my believes and conclusions, but in the end always seem to come up with confirming my believes, although I cannot yet fit every piece into the puzzle or explain many things going on in our political system.

Citizens, Cops and Cop Apologists

By Elmer Whittaker  

The long past due outcry over police misconduct, brutality and outright murder has never been about neither Michael Brown, Eric Garner nor Tamir Rice in specific. The current protests against police abuse and police state in our country has been brewing ever since the Rodney King beating in 1992 and has steadily built up pressure with the increased use of video, cell phone and surveillance cameras which clearly and undisputedly shows everyone who chooses to see the enormity of injustices and crimes committed against the American people, by the governments police state forces. 9/11 and the Patriot Acts have seriously stepped up the intensity and violence of today’s police state.

I Once Was Blind…

By Elmer Whittaker

When back in 1992 the video of the Rodney King beating was released, I was as outraged as everyone else just to be dumbfounded by the acquittal of police officers clearly involved and without any doubt guilty of the justified charges against them.

The Most Corrupt State In The Union

By Elmer Whittaker   

Having lived in numerous states and cities including New York City in the 80’s and remembering well the news footage from of the police corruption before, during and after Katrina I was convinced that New Orleans was the most corrupt city making Louisiana the most corrupt state. 

Occupy and Police State Protests

By Elmer Whittaker

In the past few days, more specifically ever since the Michael Brown and Eric Garner protests started in Fergusson, MO and New York City, NY have I been reminded on the immediate outcry of the commonly known as “right-wing” and conservative community against the protesters labeling them as looters, rioters and ultimately communists.

I felt like I was traveling back in time when Occupy Wall Street first got started a few years ago.

Yes, the new anti-Police State Movement got started out on the wrong foot when some of the protesters in Ferguson in fact were looting and burning mostly businesses of innocent community members. There is simply no excuse for harming or damaging the properties or health and life of innocent community members.

Accountability

By Elmer Whittaker 

At present police misconduct, abuse of power, police brutality, police murders but also false and fabricated charges and convictions as well as prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, malicious prosecutions and legal extortion by way of plea deals are at its all-time high and rising.

The simple truth of life and judicial as well as police misconduct is that as long there are no or only little consequences the abuse and the corruption will continue uninhabited. This is not a racial issue any longer, although the Black and Hispanic minorities may still bear the brunt of it, police and judicial system really kill and abuse the citizenry indiscriminately. 

Oppression, Exploitation and Injustices in America

By Elmer Whittaker

From the Native American tribes and the black African slaves over the Chinese who paved the railroads way west with their lives, over Irish and Italian immigrants over the Jim Crow Laws, the KKK and the lynching of supposedly free black citizens, to the Japanese internment camps; From the pioneer days of the lawless west, the Mexicans, the child labor at the expense of education and childhood to the poverty wages without any sort of insurance or healthcare working in intolerable conditions to the sweat shops filled with women who were denied almost any rights, this Nation was not only a questionable and supposedly “shinning” example of democracy but also a shocking warning that greed, lack of compassion and ruthlessness, can and does bring out the worst in unscrupulous people. 

Increased, more Potent and Dramatic Activism

By Elmer Whittaker



The past few weeks have been particularly upsetting to me as I am still very sensitive and emotionally engaged personally, when it comes to matters of corruption, abuse of power and blatant injustices.  

Questionable Inaction By The LNC

By Elmer Whittaker

 

After the Libertarian Party’s Chairman Geoffrey Neale's completely uncalled for letter of apology, which Vice-Chairman R. Lee Wrights, of course saw as most appropriate, the general inaction of the LNC to the cancellation of the LPN convention and the email exchange between Geoffrey Neale, R. Lee Wrights and LPN Chairman candidate Brett H. Pojunis, which was posted in the LPN’s Facebook Group and started this entire discussion, I could not help myself against an overwhelming impression that both Geoffrey Neale and R. Lee Wrights, are determined to excuse and legitimize reigning LPN Chairman Joe Silvestri’s cancellation of the LPN elections.

The Election That Never Was

By Elmer Whittaker 

On April 22^nd, five days before the scheduled elections for the state leadership of the Libertarian Party of Nevada (LPN) on April 27, 2013 the party’s current Executive Committee under chairman Joe Silvestri, canceled the state elections much to the dismay and outrage of the LPN’s membership, when it became clear to the reigning Executive Committee that they would not have enough support and votes to be re-elected. 

My Political Activism for Liberty and Justice

By Elmer Whittaker 

I became politically active rather late in life and not quite voluntarily, after having become the victim of police and judicial corruption numerous times in 2009/10 in Mohave County, AZ where I lived during that period, and Lubbock County, TX some 1000 miles away from where I lived. 

Search Warrants, Dogs and Deaths

By Elmer Whittaker

It has long become standard procedure for law enforcement in particular SWAT Teams to shoot and kill the family dog when conducting a Search Warrant. If you look around even in the mass media you can find so many cases were innocent dogs are shot down like vermin, not even to mention the alternative media. Alone on YouTube are more than a half a million police brutality videos posted, growing on a daily basis.

Domestic Terrorists

Did you know that the U.S. Government has issued directives to law enforcement to consider people who…

Las Vegas Family Court Security

By Elmer Whittaker

A while back I had to go to Las Vegas in order to get copies of papers from the Clark County Family and Juvenile Court.

When entering the courthouse, I naturally had to go through a security checkpoint where I, as usual, emptied my pockets, and in this case, I had to take my belt off too, before stepping through the scanner. Unfortunately, I was caught still wearing my shoes. This was a security breach and had marshals materialize right in front of me out of thin air.
