Readers of this column will remember some years ago my many reports on gratuitous police violence, often resulting in death of innocent and unresisting people. Many incidents were the result of SWAT teams being sent to the wrong address. On one occasion the police, not realizing where they were, arrested their own mayor on drug charges and terrified his family. A 12 or 13 year old black kid was shot down by police without the police asking a single question, mistaking his toy gun for a real one. A man in a wheel chair was choked to death. These incidents were due to police trained according to Israeli practices used against Palestinians. Full of authority, the enjoyment of which they were experiencing, the police destroyed their reputation, making it easy for “abolish the police” movements to take hold in blue states and cities.

You should be able to find my reports on gratuitous police violence in this website’s archives, including a report I wrote for Gerald Celente’s Trends Journal.
I prophesied that the police misconduct would come back and bite them, and it did. Officer Derek Chauvin and his fellow officers paid the price of the public’s loss of confidence in the police due to the brutality that has come to be part of a police arrest in America.
Just as I reported on police brutality, I, almost alone, reported on the orchestrated frame-up of Derek Chauvin for “murdering” George Floyd.
The only evidence that Chauvin murdered Floyd was a cell phone video taken by a young black woman from a distance that suffered from perspective distortion. The video suggested that Chauvin had his knee on Floyd’s throat or neck, while Floyd was crying out “I can’t breathe.” The close up videos from the police showed that Chauvin’s knee was on Floyd’s shoulder, the approved and taught technique for holding a person still. Chauvin was holding Floyd still, because he realized that Floyd was on a death dose of fentanyl and was using up his little available oxygen by thrashing around. Chauvin had medics called. Their delay was not Chauvin’s fault. Chauvin did everything he was supposed to do.
Floyd complained of breathing difficulties while sitting in the back seat of the police car before he was held motionless on the ground by Chauvin by the correct measure of knee on shoulder.
The medical examiner’s report found in Floyd’s blood a death dose of fentanyl and said that if it were not for the politicized case against Chauvin, that would have been the verdict.
Undeterred by evidence the corrupt, in my opinion, Minnesota governor, Kamala Harris’s vice president running mate, Tim Walz, whose election as governor raises serious questions about the integrity of the people of Minnesota, inflamed the situation. The presstitutes, prosecutor, judge, and jury had their orders: convict a white racist for murdering a black man. The American whore media scripted the entire frame-up of a totally innocent Derek Chauvin.
The corrupt, in my opinion, prosecutor and judge, willingly participated in the frame-up and conviction of an innocent man. All evidence of Chauvin’s innocence was withheld from the trial, not that the jury would have paid any attention to the evidence. The jury knew that they had to convict, because Chauvin had already been convicted by the American whore media, and jurors did not want Black Lives Matter and Antifa on their front lawns and their house burnt down with them inside while police and Governor Walz stood aside.
Here we see Woke Justice, a fraud that convicts innocents in order to support its ideological agenda. This is law in America today. In earlier years of my life, the American whore media’s conviction of Chauvin in the press would have resulted in all charges dropped against Chauvin on the grounds that there was no jury that could give him an honest trial.
Nothing has been done about the intentional false conviction of an innocent person. Chauvin was stabbed 21 times in prison by an inmate brainwashed by the whore American media and Minnesota governor Tim Walz.
Chauvin’s mother showed on TV the Minneapolis police training manuals that demonstrated the technique of knee on shoulder used by Chauvin, and the corrupt or intimidated or cowardly or paid off Minneapolis black police chief denied that the manuals existed.But there the manuals were, held up for inspection.
The facts of the case are totally clear. George Floyd died from his own overdose of fentanyl. An overdose prevents red blood cells from carrying oxygen to vital functions. That is why Floyd couldn’t breath and why he died.
A totally corrupt Democratic prosecution prevented any examination of the evidence. They needed a white racist victim, and they manufactured one.
As it is always the case, it is years afterward that the truth starts to emerge. It took a half century before it became clear that the Warren Commission report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was a total fraud. It took a decade before 9/11 was exposed. The Gulf of Tonkin lie, which gave us the Vietnam War, lasted a long time. We are only now understanding that President Franklin Rosevelt, the great hero of American progressives, deceived Americans about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that he more or less orchestrated.
I could go on. Remember what US Marine Commander General Smedley Butler said: “War is a racket.” “I and my US Marines were enforcers for the New York Banks.”
Megyn Kelly, exiled from Fox News, or more appropriately, “Fox Propaganda in service to the Ruling Elite,” and today an independent journalist, has brought attention to a documentary of the frame-up of Derek Chauvin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48r_pzPcTNA
In America today frame-up convictions are easier than convictions on the basis of evidence. Indeed, evidence plays a diminishing role in trials today. The career function of a prosecutor today is not to find innocence or guilt but to convict. The prosecutor’s conviction rate leads to his reelection and creates name-recognition so that he can run for higher office, as Rudi Guiliani did with the Michael Milken case. The pubic is never told that the prosecutor’s conviction rate is based on coerced plea bargains in which the original charges are dropped in exchange for lessor charges that no one committed.
