jewworldorder--2020-12-20--The Assassin’s Creed: Murder As Israeli State Policy

“ If our dreams for Zionism are not to end in the smoke of assassins ’ pistols and our labor for its future to produce only a new set of gangsters worthy of Nazi Germany , many like myself will have to reconsider the position we have maintained for so long in the past.
” — Winston Churchill , November , 1944 , from his address to the House of Commons on the murder of Britain ’ s Resident Minister in the Middle East , Lord Moyne , by two members of the zionist terrrorist organization , Lehi .
[ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran in the past decade include the sabotage through the Stuxnet virus of the centrifuges in its nuclear development program , the killing through missile attack of its militia members in Syria , the sabotage of its Natanz nuclear plant in July this year and the murder in recent years of five of its leading nuclear scientists , most recently , a few days ago , Mohsen Fakhrizadeh .
Each of these attacks would have been carried out at least with the approval of the US government , if not the active involvement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and its puppet Iranian terrorist organization , the MEK ( Mujahedin e-Khalq ) .
In reverse , Israel would have been closely involved in the US assassination of Qasim Suleimani in Iraq in January this year .
These murders might be state operations but are no different in their brazen nature , their illegality and their brutality from hits organised by Mafia gangs .
In the case of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh , a distinguished physicist , he was apparently dragged from his car during the attack and finished off in the middle of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that even voices usually hostile to Iran ( including the New York Times and former CIA director John Brennan ) were appalled .
Each of these attacks is a casus belli for war .
Two can play at this game , which means that by these attacks , Israel is virtually inviting the assassination of its own political leaders and military commanders , or its senior representatives abroad .
That Iran does not strike back , in the same way , is not necessarily a sign that it does not have the capacity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the criminality and violations of international law that such actions represent , Iran is never going to strike back at a time of Israel ’ s choosing .
Nevertheless , the government is under pressure from its own people to deal a devastating counter-blow , not necessarily against individuals but against Israeli infrastructure such as the port at Haifa .
Each of these provocations pushes Iran closer to the edge , as intended by Israel .
The repeated refusal of the government to respond is being criticised in Iran as a sign of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away with the more it will try to get away with .
At the same time , even though Israel is responsible , an Iranian reprisal would trigger off a large-scale military response by Israel and full-scale war that no one in their right mind would want .
It is a further sign of the moral void at their centre that Netanyahu and many of the fanatics around him do want such a war and are prepared to drop bombs on live nuclear reactors to achieve their aims The general view seems to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would not be able to sign back on to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action ( JCPOA ) nuclear agreement from which Trump withdrew the US in 2018 .
That may be so , but Netanyahu might have calculated that this latest savagery would be the final spark igniting the war he has wanted for years .
Either of these outcomes would suit him .
There are always parallels in history and for Israel ’ s attempts to provoke an open war with Iran , one parallel would be Israel ’ s attempts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Abd al Nasser into war in 1967 .
This was no ‘ preemptive ’ war but another war of choice .
1948 was the first , because only through war could the zionists seize Palestine , at least most of it .
1967 was the second , launched to destroy Egypt ’ s armed forces , to destroy Nasser ’ s Arab world leadership , and to occupy the rest of Palestine .
It was strikingly successful .
All Palestine ended up under occupation and the Egyptian military was shattered .
Nasir ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but gravely weakened by Egypt ’ s failure to see the war coming and defend itself .
Just as Israel has been trying to draw Iran into the open through the assassination of its scientists and the sabotage of its nuclear plants , so in the year before the 1967 war it set out to draw Nasser into the open through provocations along the Syrian armistice line .
These took the form of incursions by armored tractors into the DMZ , triggering off shelling by the Syrian army and then air attacks by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ destroy any Arab nationalist government and to destroy Arab nationalism itself , the main target of these provocations was Nasser .
He was the foremost Arab champion and Israel wanted him where it could get at him .
It knew that sooner or he would have to respond to its provocations on the Syrian front by taking action on the Egyptian front .
When Israel shot down six Syrian planes in April 1967 , the ball started to roll .
Israeli politicians talked of going further than ever before , of teaching Syria @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Syria and occupying Damascus , 15 years ahead of its invasion of Lebanon and occupation of Beirut .
By the second week of May , war was regarded as inevitable .
Nasser moved troops and tanks into Sinai and called for the withdrawal of the UN Emergency Force ( UNEF ) from the armistice line .
Although Israel was the aggressor in the 1956 war , UNEF forces were inside Egypt because Israel refused to accept them on its side of the armistice line , and as usual , it got its way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Straits of Tiran , the entrance point to the Gulf of Aqaba , but without actually blocking them to Israeli shipping .
Under pressure , however , to stand up to the Israelis , he had moved the final piece on the board that set the stage for war .
Israel repeated the rhetoric of 1948 .
İt was again being threatened with extermination and annihilation at the hands of an Arab ‘ ring of steel.
’ In fact , it knew , and so did the CIA , that it would easily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arab armies .
Behind the panic deliberately set in motion among the Israeli population , the generals could not wait to get going .
They vowed to be on the banks of the Suez Canal within a week .
This was an opportunity – one they had created – that Israel could not afford to miss .
The military would deliver a knockout blow : according to Yigal Allon , “ There is not the slightest doubt about the outcome of this war and each of its stages.
” And so it turned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ side , there is not the slightest doubt that Nasser did not want war .
His threats were those of the Arab champion and his intended audience the Arab world , but behind the scenes , he was looking for a way out of the crisis into which he had been maneuvered .
An Egyptian delegation led by Vice-President Zakaria Muhi Al-Din was due to fly into Washington on June 7 for talks to begin the following day on bringing the crisis to an end .
On June 5 , with the window @ @ @ @ @ @ @ close , Israel attacked .
There is symmetry in all of these wars .
Israel plays the role of the victim even while preparing to attack .
In 1948 Chaim Weizmann talked of extermination while assuring the Americans behind the scenes that the Arab armies counted for nothing .
Israel ’ s arrogance was checked in the first week of the 1973 war , with humiliation at the hands of Hizbullah waiting in 2000 and 2006 .
Yet if there is a learning curve Israel does not see it , an example of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fulbright called the “ arrogance of power.
” Israel applies the same tactics at the micro as well as the macro level .
On the West Bank and Gaza , it murders and massacres , and when there is a Palestinian response it has its rationale for more crushing blows .
On the West Bank , this usually takes the form of enlarging settlements or building new ones .
From the Zionist point of view , this has been a good year .
Following the establishment of diplomatic relations with Israel by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gone as far as blocking entry visas to the citizens of a dozen Muslim countries while allowing Israelis visa-free entry .
Talks in Saudi Arabia between Netanyahu and Muhammad bin Salman – apparently arranged without the knowledge of the king – open the way to the establishment of diplomatic relations , although for the time being this is not expected .
MBS can give Israel most of what it wants without needing to come into the open , and as the nominal custodian of the two holy places such a move would enrage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consequences possible at the time of the hajj .
Israel ’ s strategic advances also include the commercial , military , and strategic relationship it is establishing in the eastern Mediterranean with Greece and the Greek government of southern Cyprus , which has already allowed Israeli military units to train on the island because of the similarity of the topography to southern Lebanon .
Successfully playing off fears of Iran in the Gulf , Israel plays off Greek rivalry with Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean .
Able to attack from the very centre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Palestine – Israel is now steadily moving into a position that will eventually enable it to threaten Arab states and Iran from the periphery , from the gulf in the southwest and from the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean .
It has pushed these doors open and on the basis of all its past behavior , it will keep pushing until it gets what it wants .
The assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has antecedents dating back to the barrel bomb murders in Palestinian markets in the 1930s , the assassination of Lord Moyne @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the blowing up of the King David Hotel in 1946 , the assassination of Count Folke Bernadotte in 1948 and the massacres and destruction that have marked the zionist presence in the Middle East ever since .
Whether the enemy is a state , an organization , or an individual , the enemy must be destroyed .
The standing refusal of the international ‘ community ’ to punish Israel for any of these crimes only encourages the zionist state to go still further .
Speaking to the House of Commons after the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a strong advocate of Zionism all along , remarked that “ If there to be any hope of a peaceful and successful future for Zionism these wicked activities must cease and those responsible for them must be destroyed root and branch.
” [ 2 ] These wicked activities have never ceased , those responsible for them have never been destroyed root and branch , the smoke of the assassins ’ pistols now hangs over an entire region and Zionism has produced generations of criminals fully worthy of Nazi Germany .
No state can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran and Hizbullah are playing the long game , compared to Netanyahu ’ s greed for instant satisfaction but at some point , there will be a limit to what they can endure and then there will be war , possibly if not probably the most devastating in the modern history of the Middle East .
What will the international ‘ community ’ say then ?
It will be far too late to regret that it should have done something to stop Israel earlier .

The general view seems to be that Israel did this so Biden would not be able to sign back on to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement from which Trump withdrew the US in 2018. That may be so, but Netanyahu might have calculated that this latest savagery would be the final spark igniting the war he has wanted for years. Either of these outcomes would suit him.
There are always parallels in history and for Israel’s attempts to provoke an open war with Iran, one parallel would be Israel’s attempts to draw Egypt’s President Gamal Abd al Nasser into war in 1967. This was no ‘preemptive’ war but another war of choice. 1948 was the first, because only through war could the zionists seize Palestine, at least most of it. 1967 was the second, launched to destroy Egypt’s armed forces, to destroy Nasser’s Arab world leadership, and to occupy the rest of Palestine.
It was strikingly successful. All Palestine ended up under occupation and the Egyptian military was shattered. Nasir’s pan Arab leadership was not destroyed but gravely weakened by Egypt’s failure to see the war coming and defend itself.
Just as Israel has been trying to draw Iran into the open through the assassination of its scientists and the sabotage of its nuclear plants, so in the year before the 1967 war it set out to draw Nasser into the open through provocations along the Syrian armistice line. These took the form of incursions by armored tractors into the DMZ, triggering off shelling by the Syrian army and then air attacks by Israel.
Although Israel was determined to destroy any Arab nationalist government and to destroy Arab nationalism itself, the main target of these provocations was Nasser. He was the foremost Arab champion and Israel wanted him where it could get at him. It knew that sooner or he would have to respond to its provocations on the Syrian front by taking action on the Egyptian front.
When Israel shot down six Syrian planes in April 1967, the ball started to roll. Israeli politicians talked of going further than ever before, of teaching Syria a lesson, and even of invading Syria and occupying Damascus, 15 years ahead of its invasion of Lebanon and occupation of Beirut.
By the second week of May, war was regarded as inevitable. Nasser moved troops and tanks into Sinai and called for the withdrawal of the UN Emergency Force (UNEF) from the armistice line. Although Israel was the aggressor in the 1956 war, UNEF forces were inside Egypt because Israel refused to accept them on its side of the armistice line, and as usual, it got its way.
On May 22 Nasser closed the Straits of Tiran, the entrance point to the Gulf of Aqaba, but without actually blocking them to Israeli shipping. Under pressure, however, to stand up to the Israelis, he had moved the final piece on the board that set the stage for war.
Israel repeated the rhetoric of 1948. İt was again being threatened with extermination and annihilation at the hands of an Arab ‘ring of steel.’ In fact, it knew, and so did the CIA, that it would easily defeat any Arab army or combination of Arab armies. Behind the panic deliberately set in motion among the Israeli population, the generals could not wait to get going. They vowed to be on the banks of the Suez Canal within a week. This was an opportunity – one they had created – that Israel could not afford to miss. The military would deliver a knockout blow: according to Yigal Allon, “There is not the slightest doubt about the outcome of this war and each of its stages.”
And so it turned out to be. On the Arab side, there is not the slightest doubt that Nasser did not want war. His threats were those of the Arab champion and his intended audience the Arab world, but behind the scenes, he was looking for a way out of the crisis into which he had been maneuvered. An Egyptian delegation led by Vice-President Zakaria Muhi Al-Din was due to fly into Washington on June 7 for talks to begin the following day on bringing the crisis to an end. On June 5, with the window of the opportunity for war about to close, Israel attacked.

Israel’s arrogance was checked in the first week of the 1973 war, with humiliation at the hands of Hizbullah waiting in 2000 and 2006.

Talks in Saudi Arabia between Netanyahu and Muhammad bin Salman – apparently arranged without the knowledge of the king – open the way to the establishment of diplomatic relations, although for the time being this is not expected. MBS can give Israel most of what it wants without needing to come into the open, and as the nominal custodian of the two holy places such a move would enrage Muslims around the world, with explosive consequences possible at the time of the hajj.

Able to attack from the very centre of the central Arab lands – occupied Palestine – Israel is now steadily moving into a position that will eventually enable it to threaten Arab states and Iran from the periphery, from the gulf in the southwest and from the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean. It has pushed these doors open and on the basis of all its past behavior, it will keep pushing until it gets what it wants.

No state can endlessly endure Israel’s provocations.

Bikers from the ‘Harley Santa Club’ rode their motorcycles in the Japanese capital to raise awareness of child abuse and deliver toys to orphans.
This year the usually large event was reduced to about 100 participants, many wearing masks, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The parade was followed by a toy run to donate toys and candy to children living in orphanages.
The club noted that children have become more vulnerable to domestic violence and abuse due to lockdowns.
“Especially because of the coronavirus pandemic this year, I think there are many child abuse cases [that are] out of sight,” Takashi Mine, director of the event, told Reuters.
“It is very likely now that parents will take the stress out on their children after losing their jobs,” he warned.
Members of motorcycle clubs around the world hold annual events dedicated to the protection of children and helping minors in need.

jewworldorder--2020-12-20--Minister slams public figures under 60 ‘cutting in line’ to get COVID-19 vaccine

As Israel ’ s vaccination drive against the coronavirus began , questions arose Sunday after a series of public figures and politicians got the inoculation ahead of the general public even though they are not over the age of 60 , the minimal age for Israelis who will initially be allowed to vaccinate .
Likud minister Ze ’ ev Elkin tweeted that he felt “ uneasy ” with that .
“ It was right for the prime minister , president and health minister to be vaccinated first to create public trust in the vaccine , and they are also all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said Elkin , who is 49 years old .
“ But skipping in the vaccine line under the umbrella of a PR push for the vaccines only harms public trust.
” Get The Times of Israel ’ s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up Elkin said that while it made sense to make a decision to order the immediate vaccination of all ministers , lawmakers , top army brass and mayors , no such decision had been made .
“ Until there is such an orderly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that all of us wait in line and vaccinate in accordance with age and health status , together with the entire public , ” he said .
Israel ’ s vaccine drive officially began on Sunday morning , with healthcare workers and other select public figures set to receive the coronavirus shot throughout the day .
From Monday , Israelis aged 60 and over and at-risk populations can receive a vaccine by appointment at health maintenance organizations ( HMOs ) .

As Israel’s vaccination drive against the coronavirus began, questions arose Sunday after a series of public figures and politicians got the inoculation ahead of the general public even though they are not over the age of 60, the minimal age for Israelis who will initially be allowed to vaccinate.
Likud minister Ze’ev Elkin tweeted that he felt “uneasy” with that.
“It was right for the prime minister, president and health minister to be vaccinated first to create public trust in the vaccine, and they are also all over the age of 60,” said Elkin, who is 49 years old. “But skipping in the vaccine line under the umbrella of a PR push for the vaccines only harms public trust.”

Elkin said that while it made sense to make a decision to order the immediate vaccination of all ministers, lawmakers, top army brass and mayors, no such decision had been made.

“Until there is such an orderly and transparent decision, I would recommend that all of us wait in line and vaccinate in accordance with age and health status, together with the entire public,” he said.
Israel’s vaccine drive officially began on Sunday morning, with healthcare workers and other select public figures set to receive the coronavirus shot throughout the day. From Monday, Israelis aged 60 and over and at-risk populations can receive a vaccine by appointment at health maintenance organizations (HMOs).

Outlining the ‘conflict of systems’ between the US and China, Michael Hudson explains the thinking of the Pentagon and paying ‘protection money’ historically to fund oligarchies.

Will SC check CCTVs to police the cops?

On December 10 , we celebrated Universal Declaration of Human Rights ‘ Who will police the police ’ is a big question for which the world could not give any answer till today .
But Supreme Court on 2 December 2020 tried to find a solution to this problem in CCTV cameras , which probably can police the police .
On December 10 , we celebrated Universal Declaration of Human Rights .
There is no huge difference between Human Rights and Constitutional Rights , which in India followed 1948 declaration with appropriate incorporation of fundamental rights .
When a statutory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abuse their power and instead of protecting rights of persons in custody , they deliberately cause hurt or death to them , it is violation of human right .
Where do you file a complaint against the police and which police will register ?
If a murder case has to be filed for custodial death or fake encounter , do you have a place to receive complaint and investigate ?
‘ Who will police the police ’ is a big question for which the world could not give any answer till today .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ tried to find a solution to this problem in CCTV cameras , which probably can police the police .
Supreme Court asked the government to fix cameras in every possible place where the police interrogates the persons .
To avoid efforts or difficulties of investigation , the police mostly use easy technic of torture to extract the information and then collect evidence .
The technology available could be effectively used for prevention of violation of Human Rights by the police .
The Madras High Court directed the State to make police transparent towards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and also gave specific guidelines to the judicial magistrates and sessions judges .
The Supreme Court Bench directed the governments at the Centre , all the States and Union Territories to install CCTVs with night vision cameras in each police station , including Central probe agencies such as CBI , ED , NIA etc across India .
Justice RF Rohinton Nariman , heading a Bench with two other judges K M Joseph , Aniruddha Bose , said : “ The State and Union Territory governments should ensure that CCTV cameras are installed in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ State and/or Union Territory .
In addition , the Union of India is also directed to install CCTV cameras and recording equipment in the offices of : CBI , NIA , ED , NCB , DRI , SFIO and any other agencies which carries out interrogations and has the power to arrest… ” The CCTV systems “ must be equipped with night vision and must necessarily consist of audio as well as video footage… The SHO of the police station concerned shall be responsible for the working , maintenance and recording of CCTVs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Oversight Committees at State and district levels for this purpose .
Most of the areas in our country do not have power connection and internet band width .
The SC ordered to provide the same as expeditiously as possible .
It directed storage of footage for 18 months .
The Supreme Court went into details and ordered that the CCTV camera footage should be stored in digital video recorders and/or network video recorders .
Importantly , the recording system should be such that the data stored therein is preserved for 18 months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time SC was dealing with this issue .
On 3 April 2018 in SLP ( Crl ) No .
2302 of 2017 , in Shafhi Mohammad Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh ( 2018 ) 5 SCC 311 , it has directed that a Central Oversight Body ( COB ) be set up by the Ministry of Home Affairs to implement the plan of action with respect to the use of videography in the crime scene during the investigation .
The Supreme Court in D K Basu Vs. State of West Bengal & Others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ held that there was a need for further directions that in every State an oversight mechanism be created whereby an independent committee can study the CCTV camera footages and periodically publish a report of its observations thereon .
The COB was further directed to issue appropriate instructions in this regard at the earliest .
Court wanted COB to issue necessary directions to make videography a reality with implementation of first phase by July 2018 , which did not happen .
The crime scene videography ought to be introduced at least at some places @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the COB .
The Ministry of Home Affairs constituted COB to oversee the implementation of the use of photography and videography in the crime scene by the State/Union Territory government and other Central agencies , to suggest the possibility of setting up a Central Server for implementation of videography .
Directions were issued to the administrators of the Union Territory , State governments , and other Central agencies for effective implementation of the use of photography and videography at the crime scenes , and to furnish an Action Taken Report on the implementation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crime scene .
The SC mentioned that nothing substantial was done for 2 and half years to implement the SC directions and impleaded all states and union territories to file affidavits explaining the compliance of its earlier orders .
The compliance affidavits and Action Taken Reports were filed by 14 States ( till 24.11.2020 ) , namely , West Bengal , Chhattisgarh , Tamil Nadu , Punjab , Nagaland , Karnataka , Tripura , Uttar Pradesh , Assam , Sikkim , Mizoram , Madhya Pradesh , Meghalaya , Manipur ; and 2 Union @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Islands and Puducherry .
( It means two Telugu States did not file ) .
But they failed to disclose the ground position of installation of CCTV cameras in each police station .
The SC noticed that they are bereft of details with respect to the total number of police stations functioning in the respective State and Union Territory ; total number of CCTV cameras installed in each police station ; the positioning of the CCTV cameras already installed ; working condition of the CCTV cameras ; whether the CCTV cameras have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for how many days/hours , have not been disclosed .
When most of the States do not file affidavits , though mandated , and do not disclose the real status , can we hope that this judgment becomes a reality ?
The constitution of Oversight Committees in accordance with the Order dated 03.04.2018 , and/or details with respect to the Oversight Committees already constituted in the respective States and Union Territory have also not been disclosed .
The apex court instructed States and UTs to file compliance affidavits within six weeks .
SC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the fundamental rights of each citizen of India guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India .
It directed the States and UTs to implement 2018 order of SC both in letter and in spirit as soon as possible and file affidavits of compliance within six weeks .
The constitution of Oversight Committees in accordance with Supreme Court Order dated 03.04.2018 should be done at the State and District levels .
The State Level Oversight Committee ( SLOC ) must consist of : ( i ) The Secretary/Additional Secretary , Home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Finance Department ; ( iii ) The Director General/Inspector General of Police ; and ( iv ) The Chairperson/member of the State Women ’ s Commission .

Similarly , the District Level Oversight Committees should also be constituted with similar obligation .
The Court directed facilitation of victims to complain .
It said : “ Whenever there is information of force being used at police stations resulting in serious injury and/or custodial deaths , it is necessary that persons be free to complain for a redressal of the same .
Such complaints may not only be made to the State Human Rights Commission , which is then to utilise its powers , more particularly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Protection of Human Rights Act , 1993 , for redressal of such complaints , but also to Human Rights Courts , which must then be set up in each District of every State/Union Territory under Section 30 of the aforesaid Act .

When a statutory office holder like police and jail authorities abuse their power and instead of protecting rights of persons in custody, they deliberately cause hurt or death to them, it is violation of human right. Where do you file a complaint against the police and which police will register? If a murder case has to be filed for custodial death or fake encounter, do you have a place to receive complaint and investigate?
‘Who will police the police’ is a big question for which the world could not give any answer till today. But Supreme Court on 2 December 2020 tried to find a solution to this problem in CCTV cameras, which probably can police the police.
Supreme Court asked the government to fix cameras in every possible place where the police interrogates the persons. To avoid efforts or difficulties of investigation, the police mostly use easy technic of torture to extract the information and then collect evidence.
The technology available could be effectively used for prevention of violation of Human Rights by the police. The Madras High Court directed the State to make police transparent towards the family of victim of custodial violence and also gave specific guidelines to the judicial magistrates and sessions judges.
The Supreme Court Bench directed the governments at the Centre, all the States and Union Territories to install CCTVs with night vision cameras in each police station, including Central probe agencies such as CBI, ED, NIA etc across India.
Justice RF Rohinton Nariman, heading a Bench with two other judges K M Joseph, Aniruddha Bose, said: “The State and Union Territory governments should ensure that CCTV cameras are installed in every police station functioning in the respective State and/or Union Territory. In addition, the Union of India is also directed to install CCTV cameras and recording equipment in the offices of: CBI, NIA, ED, NCB, DRI, SFIO and any other agencies which carries out interrogations and has the power to arrest…”
The CCTV systems “must be equipped with night vision and must necessarily consist of audio as well as video footage… The SHO of the police station concerned shall be responsible for the working, maintenance and recording of CCTVs”. the SC also ordered constitution of Oversight Committees at State and district levels for this purpose. Most of the areas in our country do not have power connection and internet band width. The SC ordered to provide the same as expeditiously as possible. It directed storage of footage for 18 months. The Supreme Court went into details and ordered that the CCTV camera footage should be stored in digital video recorders and/or network video recorders. Importantly, the recording system should be such that the data stored therein is preserved for 18 months.
It was not for the first time SC was dealing with this issue. On 3 April 2018 in SLP (Crl) No. 2302 of 2017, in Shafhi Mohammad Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh (2018) 5 SCC 311, it has directed that a Central Oversight Body (COB) be set up by the Ministry of Home Affairs to implement the plan of action with respect to the use of videography in the crime scene during the investigation.
The Supreme Court in D K Basu Vs. State of West Bengal & Others (2015) 8 SCC 744, held that there was a need for further directions that in every State an oversight mechanism be created whereby an independent committee can study the CCTV camera footages and periodically publish a report of its observations thereon. The COB was further directed to issue appropriate instructions in this regard at the earliest. Court wanted COB to issue necessary directions to make videography a reality with implementation of first phase by July 2018, which did not happen. The crime scene videography ought to be introduced at least at some places as per viability and priority determined by the COB.
The Ministry of Home Affairs constituted COB to oversee the implementation of the use of photography and videography in the crime scene by the State/Union Territory government and other Central agencies, to suggest the possibility of setting up a Central Server for implementation of videography.
Directions were issued to the administrators of the Union Territory, State governments, and other Central agencies for effective implementation of the use of photography and videography at the crime scenes, and to furnish an Action Taken Report on the implementation of the use of videography in the crime scene.
The SC mentioned that nothing substantial was done for 2 and half years to implement the SC directions and impleaded all states and union territories to file affidavits explaining the compliance of its earlier orders.
The compliance affidavits and Action Taken Reports were filed by 14 States (till 24.11.2020), namely, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Nagaland, Karnataka, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Sikkim, Mizoram, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur; and 2 Union Territories, namely, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Puducherry. (It means two Telugu States did not file).
But they failed to disclose the ground position of installation of CCTV cameras in each police station. The SC noticed that they are bereft of details with respect to the total number of police stations functioning in the respective State and Union Territory; total number of CCTV cameras installed in each police station; the positioning of the CCTV cameras already installed; working condition of the CCTV cameras; whether the CCTV cameras have a recording facility, if yes, then for how many days/hours, have not been disclosed.
When most of the States do not file affidavits, though mandated, and do not disclose the real status, can we hope that this judgment becomes a reality?
The constitution of Oversight Committees in accordance with the Order dated 03.04.2018, and/or details with respect to the Oversight Committees already constituted in the respective States and Union Territory have also not been disclosed. The apex court instructed States and UTs to file compliance affidavits within six weeks.
SC reminded that these directions are in furtherance of the fundamental rights of each citizen of India guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. It directed the States and UTs to implement 2018 order of SC both in letter and in spirit as soon as possible and file affidavits of compliance within six weeks.
The constitution of Oversight Committees in accordance with Supreme Court Order dated 03.04.2018 should be done at the State and District levels. The State Level Oversight Committee (SLOC) must consist of: (i) The Secretary/Additional Secretary, Home Department; (ii) Secretary/Additional Secretary, Finance Department; (iii) The Director General/Inspector General of Police; and (iv) The Chairperson/member of the State Women’s Commission. It shall be the duty of the SLOC to see that the directions passed by this Court are carried out. Amongst others, the duties shall consist of: a) Purchase, distribution and installation of CCTVs and its equipment; b) Obtaining the budgetary allocation for the same; c) Continuous monitoring of maintenance and upkeep of CCTVs and its equipment; d) Carrying out inspections and addressing the grievances received. Similarly, the District Level Oversight Committees should also be constituted with similar obligation.
The Court directed facilitation of victims to complain. It said:
“Whenever there is information of force being used at police stations resulting in serious injury and/or custodial deaths, it is necessary that persons be free to complain for a redressal of the same. Such complaints may not only be made to the State Human Rights Commission, which is then to utilise its powers, more particularly under Sections 17 and 18 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, for redressal of such complaints, but also to Human Rights Courts, which must then be set up in each District of every State/Union Territory under Section 30 of the aforesaid Act. The Commission/Court can then immediately summon CCTV camera footage in relation to the incident for its safe keeping, which may then be made available to an investigation agency in order to further process the complaint made to it”.
The apex court directed the Union government to install CCTV cameras and recording equipment in the offices of: (i) Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) (ii) National Investigation Agency (NIA) (iii) Enforcement Directorate (ED) (iv) Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) (v) Department of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) (vi) Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) (vii) Any other agency which carries out interrogations and has the power of arrest.

Are There Any Good Cops?

Yes , there is a pandemic .
And , yes , the COVID-19 numbers and deaths are rising in certain locales .
In the Canadian province of Alberta , lockdown measures were put into effect that include shutting all casinos , gyms , dine-in restaurants , and bars .
Mask wearing , despite what science says , has been mandated .
As well , all outdoor and indoor social gatherings have been banned .
As CJ Hopkins wrote in a excellent essay on the transformation of societies since COVID-19 , Government officials are issuing edicts restricting the most basic aspects @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go , when we can go there , how long we are allowed to spend there , how many friends we are allowed to meet there , whether and when we can spend time with our families , what we are allowed to say to each other , who we can have sex with , where we have to stand , how we are allowed to eat and drink , etc .
The list goes on and on .
The idiocy over the enforcement of COVID-19 lockdown provisions ventured into absurdity when the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ young man for the crime of playing ice hockey outside .

The idiocy over the enforcement of COVID-19 lockdown provisions ventured into absurdity when the Calgary police pulled a taser on a young man for the crime of playing ice hockey outside.

Imagine that you are a police officer, and you do your job enforcing the law without favor or prejudice. You have no racist bone in your body, and you sympathize with the plight of the poor.

Contradictions or a cover-up?
Yet police are bound by a code of ethics and held to accountability. On paper they are.
Compare it to another job. Let’s go straight for the jugular, if a restaurant worker brutally assaults a passerby outside the restaurant would the silence of several witnesses among the restaurant staff be tolerated? Were this criminality a regular occurrence in the restaurant world, and were silence the usual response among restaurant colleagues, would people in the mass media and general public respond that there are some good restaurant workers?

Atrocities Caste, Present and Future
Sandip, Ramu, Lavkush and Ravi. Those are the names of the upper-caste Thakurs who tortured and gang-raped a 19-year-old girl in Hathras, Utter Pradesh, JatiIndia, on September 14.
Folding his palms, [Manisha’s father] pleaded, ‘Our daughters are no longer safe. We are helpless, I request the nation to stand with us, help us get justice for our daughter. Please.’ — newslaundry.com, September 29.
No. The nation is not ashamed of its two categories of daughters and their respective rights: The Savarna (upper-caste Hindu) daughter has way more rights than her Dalit or any other minority sister will ever have.
But these daughters do have one thing in common. In JatiIndia, for the most part “naming a rape victim even when she wants to be identified is still taboo… notwithstanding Section 228A, which clearly lists the circumstances under which one can legally name and publish the identities of these girls and women.”
In JatiIndia, their chastity is their rightiousness, and if that has been sullied no matter the circumstances like violent gang-rape, the blame and shame is dumped on her and not the criminal (s) involved.
#SayHerName. No, not one of those symbolic epithets like Nirbhaya (fearless). Manisha Valmiki. The one she was born with. The one JatiIndia is ashamed to utter.
No, not because it’s ashamed of what the country’s men, including Thakurs, are capable of doing to poverty-stricken, Dalit girls and women, but because their names are a mirror to the soul of this land of, among other beautiful sights, bajra (pearl millet) which was “in full bloom, with the crop as tall as six feet” and where Manisha “was found naked, bleeding and barely alive in a small village…”
This village still practices untouchability, and is in a state that in 2019 had the highest number of reported cases of rape outside of Rajasthan, according to the National Crime Records Bureau.
JatiIndia’s Savarnas relish what they call an “ethnic” meal like bajra rotis (Indian bread) with baingan (eggplant) every now and then. For me anyway, bajra rotis have created a new discomforting memory in my brain. I don’t think I can eat another one without thinking of Manisha’s face in the crosshairs of JatiIndia’s Hindu soul.
This soul of JatiIndia continues to shimmer with the un-uttered names of the more than ten Dalit girls and women who are raped every day. It’s a soul of mirrors from where there is no escape.
