Steven Donziger , a lawyer who recently received the support of 29 Nobel laureates and thousands of lawyers around the world , helped the indigenous people of Ecuador ’ s Amazon win a historic judgment in 2011 against Chevron .
Since then , Chevron has joined forced with U.S. judge Lewis A. Kaplan to abusively target Donziger in New York in a series of unprecedented legal actions that have wiped out his assets .
The corruption has depleted Donziger ’ s resources , and stopped Steven ’ s ability to earn a living – to the point where Donziger seeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Chevron is being formally accused by Donziger ’ s attorneys of owning legal officials .
Calls for the reinstatement of the lawyer ’ s illegally revoked law license now stretch to over 475 lawyers , legal organizations and human rights groups , according to the International Association of Democratic lawyers .
Donziger has been defended by NGOs , politicians and even rock legend Roger Waters of Pink Floyd , all calling for the reinstatement of his law license as this writer previously reported .
Chevron has claimed that Donziger is a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arguing that his law license should be revoked .
More like Donziger is a “ threat to corporate interest , ” as Pink Floyd Rock legendary musician Roger Waters has said .
Several other people have spoken out about what ’ s going on with Donziger , and some have even testified at his hearing .
“ In my work I ’ ve met a lot of people in pursuit of accountability , and Donziger is right up at the top of those .
He has done an unbelievable job.
” – Simon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All evidence to the contrary that Steven is a threat to the public.
” – Public interest attorney Zoe Littlepage “ He ’ s a completely honorable man representing people grievously harmed .
What he and his family have gone through is unbelievable .
He ’ s been attacked and demonized to distract the American courts and world public from the fact that Chevron committed a crime and owes the people of Ecuador for a cleanup.
” – Rex Weyler , co-founder of Greenpeace It has been some time since Activist Post last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donziger .
New legal documents have surfaced , filed by Donziger ’ s attorneys , accusing judges of being bought and paid for by the corporate oil giant Chevron .
This is something this writer also made note of in a series of articles questioning the case , asking why Donizger had his law license revoked when it was other corrupt parties that deserved disbarment and not the lawyer who fought for the Amazonian Ecuadorian people ( here , here and here ) .
Activist Post has been covering the story of Steven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first learned about the judicial abuses and deplorable actions of NY District Court Justice Lewis Kaplan in favor of Chevron .
For the past almost 10 months , Donziger has been forced under house arrest with an electronic bracelet on his ankle for defending the Ecuadorian Amazonian people against big oil ’ s environmental damages .
Last year in August , Activist Post reported that Donziger faced house arrest after Judge Kaplan ordered a Special Prosecutor to indict Donziger , as well as yank his passport , punishing him even further .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corrupt saga and give the reader some background information .
For over a decade , New York lawyer and activist Steven Donziger , of Donziger and Associates , has been fighting Chevron after the oil giant bought out Texaco .
However , just when we think we ’ ve seen it all in the Chevron case , NY District Court Justice Lewis Kaplan seeks to prove we ain ’ t seen nothing yet .
Judge Kaplan wants Amazonian lawyer , Steven Donziger , destroyed , at all costs !
On September 17th , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ testified on behalf of Donziger at a formal bar licensing hearing in New York , where for the first time witnesses were able to address the facts of Chevron ’ s fraud in bringing its retaliatory civil RICO ( “ racketeering ” ) case designed to try to undermine the legitimate $ 9.5 billion judgment won by Ecuadorian communities in 2011 .
Several witnesses at the hearing explained how Chevron and its lawyers at the infamous Gibson , Dunn & Crutcher firm – led by Randy Mastro , former deputy mayor to Rudy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acts to target Donziger based largely on the testimony of a corrupt witness who was paid at least $ 2 million by the company and who later admitted to lying under oath .
Many respected lawyers , authors , and activists also testified on Donziger ’ s behalf .
Without exception , all described Donziger as a man dedicated to justice in Ecuador on behalf of Chevron ’ s victims , who was framed by Chevron and its corrupt witness Alberto Guerra , who claimed without any corroborating evidence that Donziger had approved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paul Paz y Miño , Amazon Watch ’ s Director of Outreach wrote .
Amazon Watch further provided a detailed recap of the Donziger saga : • In 2011 , Chevron was found liable in Ecuador for the deliberate dumping of billions of gallons of toxic oil waste into the Amazon between 1964 and 1992 , decimating indigenous groups and provoking an outbreak of cancer that has killed hundreds if not thousands of people .
• Four levels of courts in Ecuador – including its supreme and constitutional courts – imposed damages on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; most of the pollution , including an estimated 1,000 unlined toxic waste pits , continue to poison soils , rivers , and groundwater .
• Having definitively lost the case in Ecuador , Chevron abruptly removed all of its assets from the country and never paid a dime to the affected communities .
• In the RICO case , Chevron bribed its star witness Alberto Guerra and used false evidence to try to criminalize human rights lawyer Steven Donziger and the Ecuadorian communities fighting for cleanup .
• Donziger ’ s law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the allegation that he was “ an immediate threat to the public interest ” due to his litigation against Chevron .
• With U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan as an ally , Chevron has demanded Donziger surrender his computer and cell phone for inspection by the company so that it can sue or target anybody Donziger has been in touch with , or anyone supporting the campaign for justice in Ecuador .
• Judge Kaplan has held Donziger in civil contempt , seized his passport , and fined him an exorbitant $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over his computer and phone while an appeal is pending .
• Judge Kaplan himself then filed criminal contempt charges against Donziger and asked the federal prosecutor in New York to prosecute him ; the prosecutor refused .
• Judge Kaplan then appointed private lawyers from a corporate law firm and deputized them to act as “ government prosecutors ” to target Donziger .
Pending trial , Donziger has been confined to home detention and required to wear an electronic monitoring device for the last two months .
• Chevron has tried to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with its unprecedented , unethical , and illegal attacks against Steven Donziger and those who stand up for a proper environmental cleanup in Ecuador .
Judge Kaplan denied a jury for the Ecuadorian villagers ’ case against the oil company while Kaplan had investments in the oil companies , which is a requisite for Judge Kaplan to be recused from the case .
The judge also flatly refused to allow the victims ( who suffer illnesses from Texaco/Chevron toxic waste ) he referred to as “ plaintiffs ” to produce evidence about massive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Instead , Judge Kaplan threatened Donziger with massive fines for refusing to give his computer and cell phone to Chevron ( which would violate the sacrosanct attorney-client privilege ) .
Kaplan has proven he is a lapdog for Chevron time and time again .
In June , one single day after this writer ’ s first article was published , the judge escalated his abuse even further against Donziger by issuing a cruel and unusual punishment .
The tyrannical Kaplan ordered Donziger to face fines up to $ 200,000 per day and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he fails to turn over attorney-client privileged information .
Chevron is already on public record claiming that Donziger doesn ’ t have enough money to satisfy the $ 800,000 judgment Justice Kaplan has egregiously awarded Chevron , on top of the now-ordered $ 200,000 a day fine .
When Donziger refused to do so , the out-of-bounds Judge Kaplan asked the Southern District of NY U.S. Attorney ’ s office to prosecute Donziger for contempt .
The SDNY U.S. Attorney office declined to prosecute Donziger and do the judge ’ s corrupt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Steven Donziger is now fighting to restore his right to practice law after his license was suspended without a hearing , an unfathomable case .
The case is based entirely on the retaliatory RICO suit and testimony by a bribed witness who admitted they lied , as Activist Post ’ s Derrick Broze reported in 2015 .
Kaplan has been working on behalf of Chevron , who claims that Donziger committed fraud , bribed a judge in Ecuador and ghost-wrote the Ecuadorian verdict .
All statements that are proven to be completely false @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However , because no U.S. court would consider that evidence , Judge Kaplan ’ s RICO verdict still stands .
Even though his court order is still active and Donziger is being punished , the findings have been thoroughly discredited and even rejected by 17 appellate judges in Ecuador .
It is highly ironic that Donziger is being accused of fraud and bribery , since the sole witness Chevron utilized against him is an Ecuadorian Judge Alberto Guerra .
Guerra was thrown off his bench for corruption , admitted to lying , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 2 million dollars , Alternet reported .
Kaplan also dismissed the fact that Guerra was being paid $ 12,000 a month by Chevron , as well as being supplied with a personal lawyer and a car under the company “ witness-protection program.
” The abuse of due process is unrelenting as Judge Kaplan continuously demonstrated bias in the Chevron case , according to U.S. Appellate Attorney Deepak Gupta ( who represented Donziger ) .
In recently filed documents , the corruption is laid bare and judges are accused of horrific crimes against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abuse of power and judicial misconduct according to Donziger ’ s lawyer , Andrew Frisch , a former federal prosecutor .
Frisch accused Kaplan and Judge Loretta Preska , a member of the Trump-affiliated Federalist Society of abuses of power and misconduct in the Donziger case .
Frisch ’ s main points are as follows as reported by the website MakeChevronCleanUp : • Kaplan filed criminal contempt charges against Donziger last July and quietly named Preska to preside while he ran the case from the background , creating what Frisch called a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hide his true role and to immunize himself from a recusal motion given his long history of bias against Donziger .
In handpicking Preska , Kaplan also bypassed local rules requiring random assignment of cases .
• To ensure he could control the contempt charges against Donziger from behind the scenes , Kaplan also appointed a private law firm with extensive ties to the oil industry to prosecute in the name of the U.S. government after the U.S. Attorney ( the regular prosecutor ) rejected the charges .
Kaplan never disclosed that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chevron on its private client roster or that it worked for several companies that do business with Chevron , as outlined in an affidavit from ethics expert Ellen Yaroshfsky .
• Kaplan , Preska , and the Seward law firm appeared to collude to actively cover-up the Seward conflict for months despite continued pressure from Donziger to disclose any relationship with the company .
In a court hearing before Preska on January 6 , Seward partner Rita Glavin ( appointed by Kaplan to prosecute ) denied any conflict of interest as she was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ client .
• In February before the Federal appellate court , Glavin again refused to consent to Donziger ’ s release while continuing to deceive the court by covering up her firm ’ s conflict .
Normally , such deceit is grounds for bar discipline .
Under pressure from Frisch and the Yaroshefsky opinion , Glavin and her partner Mark Hyland grudgingly disclosed the conflict in late March months after Donziger had been put in detention .
• When Donziger ’ s counsel later insisted that Seward describe the nature of its representation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provide any further information citing its duties of loyalty to Chevron as a private client .
Seward is putting its loyalties to Chevron ahead of its ethical duties to turn over exculpatory information to a defendant it is trying imprison in apparent service of Chevron ’ s goal of blocking the lawyer from enforcing the Ecuador judgement , said Frisch .
• Preska issued an order last week that “ reveals abuses of power and discretion surpassed only by gross indifference to prosecutorial misconduct and the appearance of judicial bias , ” according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effort to protect Kaplan and the Seward firm , Preska ruled that the conflict of interest was not severe enough to warrant disqualification .
She also denied Donziger an evidentiary hearing .
• Chevron ’ s main law firm used to attack Donziger for the last decade , Gibson Dunn & Crutcher , also had an obligation to disclose Seward ’ s conflict once the criminal contempt case began but failed to do so .
Lawyers at Gibson Dunn for months had been urging Kaplan to jail Donziger .
Since then , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the Seward firm and even appeared to be drafting some of the firm ’ s submissions urging Donziger ’ s continued detention .
“ Simply stated , Judges Kaplan and Preska have ratified deceit by the lawyers appointed by Judge Kaplan to prosecute the criminal case about their firm ’ s attorney-client relationship with the Chevron Corporation , for whose benefit Judge Kaplan issued the orders which Mr. Donziger is alleged to have willfully violated , ” Frisch wrote in the brief .
In addition , a referee named John R. Horan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Southern District of New York , found Mr. Donziger ’ s testimony at the disciplinary proceeding [ in late 2019 , during the pendency of the criminal case ] to be “ candid and clear … [ with ] no sign of dissembling or evasiveness.
” This all further displays what this writer has talked about before regarding corruption becoming the rule instead of the exception spreading across the world that Corps are acting above the law with oil giants and big banks toxicity infecting our systems of global justice .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ tale , where New York Attorney Steven Donziger won a decade-long case for $ 9 billion against Chevron .
Now , the real fight begins against the corrupt collusion of a judge and a corporate giant .
This is a bigger case than you may imagine with more at stake than just a lawyer and his law license .
Donziger ’ s case will shape and determine global human rights issues , and decide whether corporations can evade their legal accountability for disasters such as what happened in Ecuador .
In other words @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a precedent normalizing this type of behavior , which will be felt for generations to come ; and if this treatment is allowed , all future lawyers fighting for reparations for those affected by a tragedy caused by a corporation may be terrified to do their due duty .

Since then, Chevron has joined forced with U.S. judge Lewis A. Kaplan to abusively target Donziger in New York in a series of unprecedented legal actions that have wiped out his assets. The corruption has depleted Donziger’s resources, and stopped Steven’s ability to earn a living – to the point where Donziger seeks donations for his legal defense.
Now, Chevron is being formally accused by Donziger’s attorneys of owning legal officials. Calls for the reinstatement of the lawyer’s illegally revoked law license now stretch to over 475 lawyers, legal organizations and human rights groups, according to the International Association of Democratic lawyers.
Donziger has been defended by NGOs, politicians and even rock legend Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, all calling for the reinstatement of his law license as this writer previously reported.
Chevron has claimed that Donziger is a “threat to the public interest,” arguing that his law license should be revoked. More like Donziger is a “threat to corporate interest,” as Pink Floyd Rock legendary musician Roger Waters has said.
He’s a huge help to the public interest, in my view. He presents something of a threat to corporate America, which is why he’s being demonized and vilified, which is why his license is being suspended.
Several other people have spoken out about what’s going on with Donziger, and some have even testified at his hearing.
“In my work I’ve met a lot of people in pursuit of accountability, and Donziger is right up at the top of those. He has done an unbelievable job.” – Simon Taylor, founder of Global Witness “All evidence to the contrary that Steven is a threat to the public.” – Public interest attorney Zoe Littlepage “He’s a completely honorable man representing people grievously harmed. What he and his family have gone through is unbelievable. He’s been attacked and demonized to distract the American courts and world public from the fact that Chevron committed a crime and owes the people of Ecuador for a cleanup.” – Rex Weyler, co-founder of Greenpeace
It has been some time since Activist Post last updated readers about the case against Steven Donziger. New legal documents have surfaced, filed by Donziger’s attorneys, accusing judges of being bought and paid for by the corporate oil giant Chevron.
This is something this writer also made note of in a series of articles questioning the case, asking why Donizger had his law license revoked when it was other corrupt parties that deserved disbarment and not the lawyer who fought for the Amazonian Ecuadorian people (here, here and here).
Activist Post has been covering the story of Steven Donziger since last year when this reporter first learned about the judicial abuses and deplorable actions of NY District Court Justice Lewis Kaplan in favor of Chevron. For the past almost 10 months, Donziger has been forced under house arrest with an electronic bracelet on his ankle for defending the Ecuadorian Amazonian people against big oil’s environmental damages.
Last year in August, Activist Post reported that Donziger faced house arrest after Judge Kaplan ordered a Special Prosecutor to indict Donziger, as well as yank his passport, punishing him even further.
I will quickly summarize previous stories in this corrupt saga and give the reader some background information.
For over a decade, New York lawyer and activist Steven Donziger, of Donziger and Associates, has been fighting Chevron after the oil giant bought out Texaco. However, just when we think we’ve seen it all in the Chevron case, NY District Court Justice Lewis Kaplan seeks to prove we ain’t seen nothing yet. Judge Kaplan wants Amazonian lawyer, Steven Donziger, destroyed, at all costs!

Judge Kaplan then appointed private lawyers from a corporate law firm and deputized them to act as “government prosecutors” to target Donziger. Pending trial, Donziger has been confined to home detention and required to wear an electronic monitoring device for the last two months.
Chevron has tried to undermine the very idea of corporate accountability with its unprecedented, unethical, and illegal attacks against Steven Donziger and those who stand up for a proper environmental cleanup in Ecuador.
Judge Kaplan denied a jury for the Ecuadorian villagers’ case against the oil company while Kaplan had investments in the oil companies, which is a requisite for Judge Kaplan to be recused from the case.

The case is based entirely on the retaliatory RICO suit and testimony by a bribed witness who admitted they lied, as Activist Post’s Derrick Broze reported in 2015.

Frisch accused Kaplan and Judge Loretta Preska, a member of the Trump-affiliated Federalist Society of abuses of power and misconduct in the Donziger case.
Frisch’s main points are as follows as reported by the website MakeChevronCleanUp:
Kaplan filed criminal contempt charges against Donziger last July and quietly named Preska to preside while he ran the case from the background, creating what Frisch called a “two-headed” judge designed by Kaplan to hide his true role and to immunize himself from a recusal motion given his long history of bias against Donziger.

activistpost--2020-06-06--I’m a Journalist – I Was Arrested While Covering a George Floyd Protest In Houston

By Derrick Broze , The Last American Vagabond On Tuesday June 2nd , I attended a # JusticeForGeorgeFloyd protest in downtown Houston , Texas .
I was there to document the events for the numerous outlets I work with .
In addition to writing for The Last American Vagabond , I also produce video content on my website , and co-host Free Thinker Radio on 90.1 KPFT in Houston .
Despite my best efforts to inform the police I was operating as a member of the media , I was still arrested and held in Harris County Jail for 16 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organized by rappers and local celebrities , Bun B and Trae the Truth .
The organizers called for supporters to join the family of George Floyd as they marched from Houston ’ s Discovery Green park to the steps of City Hall .
The organizers also went to great lengths to make it clear that they would not tolerate or support any efforts to provoke violence between cops and protesters , looting , or rioting .
Their efforts were mostly successful as there was no looting or rioting or violence from the protesters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the crowd of 60,000 people threw plastic bottles of water at heavily armed police in riot gear .
However , as we have seen in many instances around the country , it was the police who engaged in violent tactics while making arrests .
I was one of those arrests .
I had been at the protests documenting for around 5 hours before the police declared the thousands of protesters in the streets and at the park to be an “ unlawful assembly.
” The police used a loud speaker to warn protesters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stayed on scene .
Eventually , the police stated that everyone within their reach was under arrest .
The police – dressed in riot gear and armed with live ammunition – surrounded the protesters , medics , and yours truly using a tactic known as “ kettling.
” This tactic involves a large formation of police officers surrounding protesters and containing them in a limited area .
It is typically employed when dealing with large crowds such as protests .
The tactic has come under fire in recent days for its clear potential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ degrade the situation between protesters and police .
In Houston , the police very quickly surrounded a group of about 50 protesters and began violently rushing into the crowd and grabbing people .
One by one , the police ran into the crowd , grabbed an individual , and then sucked them into the mob of police before arresting them .
The first dozen or so arrests were done in this violent manner .
Eventually , the police calmed down and allowed the protesters to go with the officers without incident .
Of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the people in attendance were further amped up by the aggressive police tactics .
During the chaos I told several officers I was press documenting the situation .
I was told over and over that I should take it up with the courts .
This is a clear violation of First Amendment protections for freedom of press and freedom of speech .
Unfortunately , it seems that during the recent protests , such attacks on media are becoming normalized .
A quick search reveals several headlines calling attention to the attack on free @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • None Watchdogs Say Assaults on Journalists Covering Protests Is on a ‘ Scale That We Have Not Seen Before ’ • None ‘ I ’ m getting shot ’ : attacks on journalists surge in US protests • None We Crunched the Numbers : Police — Not Protesters — Are Overwhelmingly Responsible for Attacking Journalists It would be a mistake to ignore the escalation between police and peaceful protesters and media .
To be clear , there was a tiny minority of people who tossed plastic bottles of water .
However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arrested .
Instead , the police focused on protesters exercising freedom of speech , myself exercising freedom of the press , and medics who were there to keep people safe in the event of police violence .
While it is absolutely true that there are provocateurs at many of the protests — some who appear to be undercover cops and others who are just opportunistic parasites — the vast majority of the protests in support of George Floyd have been peaceful .
The corporate media have done a good job of amplifying the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point that many onlookers are unsympathetic to the violence being used against protesters .
This is a dangerous combination — police violence against protesters , silencing of media , and a public conditioned to accept the violent actions of the authorities — which could spiral out into further division .
As a journalist ( and an opponent of police violence ) I will continue to document the George Floyd protests and other important movements in the United States .
While many in the U.S. might not be accustomed to seeing protesters , medics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is not unheard of in many places around the world .
If the American people do not stand up and defend the freedom of assembly and freedom of the press we will very quickly see the erosion of these essential liberties .

By Derrick Broze, The Last American Vagabond
On Tuesday June 2nd, I attended a #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd protest in downtown Houston, Texas. I was there to document the events for the numerous outlets I work with. In addition to writing for The Last American Vagabond, I also produce video content on my website, and co-host Free Thinker Radio on 90.1 KPFT in Houston. Despite my best efforts to inform the police I was operating as a member of the media, I was still arrested and held in Harris County Jail for 16 hours.
The June 2nd protest was organized by rappers and local celebrities, Bun B and Trae the Truth. The organizers called for supporters to join the family of George Floyd as they marched from Houston’s Discovery Green park to the steps of City Hall.
The organizers also went to great lengths to make it clear that they would not tolerate or support any efforts to provoke violence between cops and protesters, looting, or rioting. Their efforts were mostly successful as there was no looting or rioting or violence from the protesters. Sure, a few protesters in the crowd of 60,000 people threw plastic bottles of water at heavily armed police in riot gear. However, as we have seen in many instances around the country, it was the police who engaged in violent tactics while making arrests. I was one of those arrests.
I had been at the protests documenting for around 5 hours before the police declared the thousands of protesters in the streets and at the park to be an “unlawful assembly.” The police used a loud speaker to warn protesters that they were risking arrest if they stayed on scene. Eventually, the police stated that everyone within their reach was under arrest. The police – dressed in riot gear and armed with live ammunition – surrounded the protesters, medics, and yours truly using a tactic known as “kettling.” This tactic involves a large formation of police officers surrounding protesters and containing them in a limited area. It is typically employed when dealing with large crowds such as protests. The tactic has come under fire in recent days for its clear potential to increase violence and, generally, degrade the situation between protesters and police.
In Houston, the police very quickly surrounded a group of about 50 protesters and began violently rushing into the crowd and grabbing people. One by one, the police ran into the crowd, grabbed an individual, and then sucked them into the mob of police before arresting them. The first dozen or so arrests were done in this violent manner. Eventually, the police calmed down and allowed the protesters to go with the officers without incident. Of course, by this point most of the people in attendance were further amped up by the aggressive police tactics.
During the chaos I told several officers I was press documenting the situation. I was told over and over that I should take it up with the courts. This is a clear violation of First Amendment protections for freedom of press and freedom of speech. Unfortunately, it seems that during the recent protests, such attacks on media are becoming normalized. A quick search reveals several headlines calling attention to the attack on free speech and journalists documenting the protests.
It would be a mistake to ignore the escalation between police and peaceful protesters and media. To be clear, there was a tiny minority of people who tossed plastic bottles of water. However, those were not the people who were arrested. Instead, the police focused on protesters exercising freedom of speech, myself exercising freedom of the press, and medics who were there to keep people safe in the event of police violence.
While it is absolutely true that there are provocateurs at many of the protests — some who appear to be undercover cops and others who are just opportunistic parasites — the vast majority of the protests in support of George Floyd have been peaceful. The corporate media have done a good job of amplifying the stories of looting and rioting to the point that many onlookers are unsympathetic to the violence being used against protesters. This is a dangerous combination — police violence against protesters, silencing of media, and a public conditioned to accept the violent actions of the authorities — which could spiral out into further division.
As a journalist (and an opponent of police violence) I will continue to document the George Floyd protests and other important movements in the United States. While many in the U.S. might not be accustomed to seeing protesters, medics, and journalists attacked and arrested, this is not unheard of in many places around the world. If the American people do not stand up and defend the freedom of assembly and freedom of the press we will very quickly see the erosion of these essential liberties.

activistpost--2020-06-06--Cops Across US Hiding Badges & Covering IDs — Shielding Them from Accountability for Violence

Across the country , in dozens of cities , cops are doling out unprecedented violence in the face of angry protests stemming from the murder of George Floyd .
Though Floyd ’ s death was the flash point of the unrest , the uprising is now representing something far deeper — systemic abuse by law enforcement of minorities , the poor , and everyone else not directly connected to the establishment .
As a result of said police violence , multiple cops have been suspended and or arrested , which is certainly positive .
However , countless other incidents involve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a result of their anonymous instigation and violence , there has been no accountability .
In multiple states , police are seemingly taking measures to avoid this accountability by removing their name tags or covering their badges .
This is in direct violation most departments ’ policies .
But no politicians , mayors , governors , or mainstream media seem to care .
Cops hiding their identification is ominous for two reasons .
The first reason being that they can enact brutality against the innocent and we do not know who they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second reason is the fact that anyone can dress up like a cop with no badge number and start doing whatever they want , up to and including inciting violence , detaining people , or any other numerous unscrupulous acts .
Showing just how deep the corruption is , the NYPD appears to have been given orders from the top down to cover their badge numbers and remove their name plates .
On Wednesday , according to The Intercept , the National Lawyers Guild sent a letter to the department and to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that if the NYPD doesn ’ t put an end to the practice , it could expect a lawsuit .
“ The trend of individual officers to sidestep what minimal accountability exists , in order to more effectively and with greater impunity brutalize protesters for pretextual reasons , is unacceptable , ” Andy Izenson , president of the New York City chapter of the National Lawyers Guild , who signed the letter , told The Intercept .
The practice of police obscuring their badge numbers — a form of identification that many jurisdictions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public when interacting — has taken on a heightened significance amid the nationwide protests over the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police .
The protests have been met with a show of force from officers , sometimes veering into brutality , leaving the risk that those without visible identification are acting with the very impunity to commit violence that spurred the protests in the first place .

An internal investigation has been opened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his unit assignment designator and nameplate and with his star number covered .

“I could understand why some of these individuals simply wouldn’t want to talk to people about who they were if that in fact was the case,” Barr told reporters asking on Thursday.
These “secret police” have many worried that the country is creating a sort of Stasi-esque covert law enforcement force that can operate in the darkness under extrajudicial pretense.

activistpost--2020-06-06--Pentagon Chief Disarms DC National Guardsmen Ahead Of Saturday Protests

National Guardsmen deployed to Washington D.C. have been ordered not to use firearms or ammunition by Defense Secretary Mark Esper – who also ordered home active-duty troops that the Trump administration requested in recent days , according to The Washington Post .
Esper made the decision to disarm without first consulting the White House , which was not involved in the decision to disarm the Guard , according to two senior officials who spoke on condition of anonymity .
The move comes as activists gear up for a massive demonstration in the nation ’ s capitol on Saturday in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Floyd – a black man who died after a white police officer in Minneapolis knelt on his neck for over eight minutes .
An estimated 100,000 – 200,000 protesters are expected on Washington on Saturday .
According to Fox News ’ Lucas Tomlinson , 43,000 National Guard troops have been deployed across 34 states and Washington D.C. to assist police with protests – a doubling in just four days .
And if violent elements within the protests begin shooting at National Guardsmen , they will be unable to shoot back .
Initially , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the city had been carrying guns while standing outside monuments , but the bulk of the forces , such as those working with federal park police at Lafayette Square in front of the White House , didn ’ t carry firearms out of caution .
Now , all of the roughly 5,000 guardsmen deployed to Washington from the District of Columbia and 11 states have been told not to use weaponry or ammunition .
At a news conference Friday , Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said that some guardsmen in the District had been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they did not have magazines of ammunition in their firearms .
Beginning Tuesday , the Trump administration de-escalated further , he said , by removing firearms from the equation altogether .
–The Washington Post “ It was clear that there were enough federal law enforcement that had descended on the city , and that would be their principal responsibility , ” said McCarthy .
As the Post notes , the D.C. National Guard is under the president ’ s control , who delegated control to McCarthy .
Mayor Muriel Bowser ( D @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Guard – initially for the response to the coronavirus pandemic ; however , she has since criticized Trump ’ s response in the city which critics have called an overreaction – after he called Guardsmen from other states and active-duty forces to sites outside the capital for other operations .
The enhanced security will include undercover street patrols by federal law enforcement officials from the Bureau of Prisons and Customs and Border Protection .
The situation grew particularly tense after two helicopters from the D.C. Guard began hovering over protesters in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wash from the aircraft .
All helicopter flight operations in the D.C. Guard have been suspended until an investigation into the incident ordered by Esper is complete , said D.C. Guard spokeswoman Air Force Lt. Col. Brooke Davis .
Trump ’ s insistence on a militarized response in the nation ’ s capital has led to strains with Esper , a West Point graduate and former Army officer who took over as defense secretary last year .
Esper announced publicly Wednesday that he wasn ’ t in favor of using the Insurrection Act @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president threatened to invoke it .
–The Washington Post Esper ’ s decision to send home some of the 1,600 active-duty troops amassed in DC was overruled by Trump following a contentious meeting – however , the administration announced that some of the troops would indeed be leaving .
On Friday , McCarthy announced at the Pentagon that all active-duty soldiers would return to their bases – the last of which being the 3rd US Infantry Regiment – known as the “ Old Guard ” based out of Fort Myer , VA. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

National Guardsmen deployed to Washington D.C. have been ordered not to use firearms or ammunition by Defense Secretary Mark Esper – who also ordered home active-duty troops that the Trump administration requested in recent days, according to The Washington Post.
Esper made the decision to disarm without first consulting the White House, which was not involved in the decision to disarm the Guard, according to two senior officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The move comes as activists gear up for a massive demonstration in the nation’s capitol on Saturday in the ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd – a black man who died after a white police officer in Minneapolis knelt on his neck for over eight minutes. An estimated 100,000 – 200,000 protesters are expected on Washington on Saturday.

According to Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson, 43,000 National Guard troops have been deployed across 34 states and Washington D.C. to assist police with protests – a doubling in just four days.

And if violent elements within the protests begin shooting at National Guardsmen, they will be unable to shoot back.
Initially, a small group of guardsmen deployed in the city had been carrying guns while standing outside monuments, but the bulk of the forces, such as those working with federal park police at Lafayette Square in front of the White House, didn’t carry firearms out of caution. Now, all of the roughly 5,000 guardsmen deployed to Washington from the District of Columbia and 11 states have been told not to use weaponry or ammunition. At a news conference Friday, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said that some guardsmen in the District had been carrying arms on Monday, but noted that they did not have magazines of ammunition in their firearms . Beginning Tuesday, the Trump administration de-escalated further, he said, by removing firearms from the equation altogether. –The Washington Post
“It was clear that there were enough federal law enforcement that had descended on the city, and that would be their principal responsibility,” said McCarthy.
As the Post notes, the D.C. National Guard is under the president’s control, who delegated control to McCarthy. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) requested that the Trump administration deploy the Guard – initially for the response to the coronavirus pandemic; however, she has since criticized Trump’s response in the city which critics have called an overreaction – after he called Guardsmen from other states and active-duty forces to sites outside the capital for other operations. The enhanced security will include undercover street patrols by federal law enforcement officials from the Bureau of Prisons and Customs and Border Protection.
The situation grew particularly tense after two helicopters from the D.C. Guard began hovering over protesters in the streets, blasting them with gusty rotor wash from the aircraft. All helicopter flight operations in the D.C. Guard have been suspended until an investigation into the incident ordered by Esper is complete, said D.C. Guard spokeswoman Air Force Lt. Col. Brooke Davis. Trump’s insistence on a militarized response in the nation’s capital has led to strains with Esper, a West Point graduate and former Army officer who took over as defense secretary last year. Esper announced publicly Wednesday that he wasn’t in favor of using the Insurrection Act to deploy active-duty troops, even as the president threatened to invoke it. –The Washington Post
Esper’s decision to send home some of the 1,600 active-duty troops amassed in DC was overruled by Trump following a contentious meeting – however, the administration announced that some of the troops would indeed be leaving.
On Friday, McCarthy announced at the Pentagon that all active-duty soldiers would return to their bases – the last of which being the 3rd US Infantry Regiment – known as the “Old Guard” based out of Fort Myer, VA.

Of course, all sources of wireless exposure can make people sick – Bluetooth, cell phone radiation and WiFi – not just 5G. All telecom companies have been warning investors about liability for many years – not just Ericsson.

From Fierce Wireless:
Ericsson said its U.S. and Canadian field staff will not be doing any on-site work over the weekend except in the case of emergencies after reports surfaced that 5G protests are planned. NATE: The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Association issued an advisory to its members Thursday about Global 5G Protest Day activities reportedly planned for this Saturday, June 6. “NATE as an organization has heard through official channels that there are 5G Global Protest Day activities being planned throughout the country this Saturday, June 6, 2020,” the advisory states. “NATE reminds our member companies and their employees to remain safe, exercise vigilance and report any unusual or suspicious activities that they witness when traveling to and working at tower sites this weekend.” NATE’s bulletin came after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a warning several weeks ago to telecom companies, wireless contractors and the technician workforce that cell tower/wireless infrastructure sites could be potentially subject to attacks based on some incidents at tower sites around the world, including Canada. Earlier this year, numerous cell towers in the Memphis, Tennessee, area were set on fire. It’s against this backdrop that NATE has been closely monitoring social media activities and issued the warning, according to NATE President and CEO Todd Schlekeway. NATE also has heard directly from many of its members, including wireless carriers, tower owners and large general contractors, about exercising caution and additional planning due to the Global 5G Protest Day scheduled for Saturday.
