TV’s Unnatural Monopolies

“The big loser in the battle between Time Warner Cable  and CBS  is not the cable company, the network or the viewers who lost access to their favorite shows. The big loser is Washington, whose efforts to regulate what used to be called television grow more futile with every new video technology.  The absurdity of the current laws is clear: A regulatory system designed to keep local broadcasts available to viewers is causing disputes between cable companies and broadcasters, leading to the very blackouts the regulations were supposed to prevent. It’s past time to deregulate video distribution.”

The Drug War Murders a Toddler

“Joshua Hill didn’t know that his July 25 visit with his daughter Alexandria would be the last he would enjoy.  Four days later the two-year-old child was killed by the state-licensed foster mother who had been given custody after Joshua’s daughter was seized by the Texas Child Protective Service. Why was this child taken away from loving and capable parents? Last November, the state confiscated the infant from her home because the parents admitted to using marijuana on occasion. This was described as ‘neglectful supervision,’ a charge that permitted the child-snatchers to deliver the infant into the hands of an aggressively abusive individual.”

“Why Did You Call the Police? They Don’t Help”

“In May of last year, Los Angeles resident Veronica Cornejo called the Sheriff’s Office to report that her mentally ill brother was severely agitated and potentially dangerous to himself and his family. The department responded by sending three deputies to the residence, who broke into the home without warning, drew their firearms, and dragged all five members of the family outside. After Veronica began to cry and plead with the deputy not to beat her ailing father, he threw the man on top of his daughter and then all three deputies began to beat both of them. Three members of the family were arrested for resisting arrest. The cases were dismissed.”

Police tell victims: Call 911 and you’ll get evicted under ‘nuisance’ laws

“In Pennsylvania and other states, police can force landlords to evict tenants who officers consider to be a nuisance. According to the New York Times, under so-called ‘nuisance property’ laws, individuals like domestic violence victim Lakisha Briggs of Norristown, PA can be told by police that if they call 911 one more time, they’ll be forced out of their homes.  The nuisance ordinances are intended to protect residential neighborhoods from rowdy, disruptive households, but in cases like Briggs’, they can leave victims of violence in an impossible situation, needing to call for help, but knowing it could cost them their home.”

Texas deputy sues woman for ‘mental anguish’ after he kills her son-in-law

“Corina Padilla, who witnessed the incident, said that her brother-in-law never touched the officers and was backing away with his hands up when they shot him. ‘At no moment did Kemal assault the officer,’ she insisted. ‘An unarmed man, a family guy, father and husband of three girls was killed. He had no criminal record. He was self-employed in import-export of very expensive rugs from Turkey and Persia.’ Padilla said that Yazar was suffering from stress and had consumed some tea that caused him to hallucinate. She lashed out at Pullen for the ‘outrageous’ lawsuit.  Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia agreed that the suit was ‘unprecedented.'”

Justice Department sues to block US Airways-American merger

“In a surprise move Tuesday, the U.S. Justice Department sued to block the $11 billion merger of American Airlines and US Airways, which would create the world’s largest airline. The Justice Department said it would harm competition and U.S. consumers, as just four airlines would control more than 80 percent of the U.S. commercial air travel market. The department took action against this merger, yet recently let go other combinations between major airlines. Industry experts said the move was out of step with past practices and would potentially leave US Air and American, which is emerging from bankruptcy, at a competitive disadvantage.”

“They Kidnapped Our Child”: Why CPS Needs Transparency Now

“They Kidnapped Our Child”: Why CPS Needs Transparency Now

“In April 2013, police officers and a social worker from Sacramento County’s Child Protective Services entered the home of Anna and Alex Nikolayev and took their baby, Sammy, away from them. They had no warrant.  ‘What they’d done was, basically, kidnapped our child with the help of police,’ says Alex Nikolayev. The young, first-time parents were not notified of where Sammy was being taken and wouldn’t find out for a full 24 hours. The dispute stemmed from the parents’ desire to obtain a second medical opinion before subjecting Sammy to major heart surgery.”

Illinois illegally seizes bees resistant to Roundup; kills remaining queens [2012]

Illinois illegally seizes bees resistant to Roundup; kills remaining queens [2012]

“The Illinois Ag Dept. illegally seized privately owned bees from renowned naturalist, Terrence Ingram, without providing him with a search warrant and before the court hearing on the matter. Behind the obvious violations of his Constitutional rights is Monsanto. Ingram was researching Roundup’s effects on bees, which he’s raised for 58 years.  ‘They ruined 15 years of my research,’ he told Prairie Advocate, by stealing most of his stock. Of note, Illinois beekeepers are going underground after Ingram’s experience and refuse to register their hives, in case the state tries to steal their private property on phony claims.”
