-“Both Spectacular and Unremarkable” Letter of Allegation regarding the Excessive Use of Force and Discrimination by the Philadelphia Police Department in response to Black Lives Matter protests in May and June of 2020 Prepared and submitted by the Andy and Gwen Stern Community Lawyering Clinic of the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law and the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania as a Joint Submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. Much of the credit for this submission belongs to the volunteers who spent countless hours investigating and documenting the events recounted here, as well as interviewing witnesses and victims, editing, and repeatedly verifying the accuracy of this submission. We thank Cal Barnett-Mayotte, Jeremy Gradwohl, Connor Hayes, Tue Ho, Bren Jeffries, Ryan Nasino, Juan Palacio Moreno, Lena Popkin, Katie Princivalle, Caitlin Rooney, Abbie Starker, Ceara Thacker, and William Walker. Cc: Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance Special Rapporteur on Rights to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and of Association Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The tragic killings of George Floyd in Minneapolis and Breonna Taylor in Louisville, and the ongoing and disproportionate killings of Black and Brown people by law enforcement throughout the United States, have sparked demonstrations against police brutality and racism in all fifty states – and around the world. Given Philadelphia’s own history of racially discriminatory policing, it was expected and appropriate that such protests would happen here as well. -

Judge Damon Keith: The Judicial Antidote to Judge Julius Hoffman Challenging Claims of Unilateral Executive Authority Ellen Yaroshefsky* From some of the highly-publicized trials of the 1960s—namely the trials of the Chicago Eight, Panther Twenty-One, and Weathermen—we can draw indispensable lessons about the role of the judges in upholding and promoting a fair justice system. The contrast to Judge Julius Hoffman’s notorious injudicious conduct in the Chicago Eight case is the courageous, thoughtful Judge Damon Keith, in the less publicized White Panther case in Detroit in the early 1970s. Judge Keith’s overriding sense of fairness exemplified the best of judicial independence in considering President Nixon’s claims of unilateral executive authority in United States v. Ayers and United States v. U.S. District Court. Judge Keith’s exemplary judicial conduct is an embrace of judicial independence that provides inspiration in current times. -
The Communist Drug Connection
The Schwarz Report Dr. Fred Schwarz Volume 51, Number 3 Dr. David Noebel March 2011 Radicalizing the USA by Robert Knight The evidence is overwhelming. The media interest is zero. The UFO strategy is in force. Let me explain. I’m talking about the unsolved Weather Underground murder of San Francisco Police Officer Brian V. McDonnell. A bomb placed on Feb. 16, 1970 outside the Golden Gate Park police station ripped through Sgt. McDonnell, who died two days later. His killers never paid a price. Apart from simple justice, here’s why this open case still matters. According to testimony by undercover FBI agent Larry Grathwohl, William Ayers was almost certainly involved. Ayers helped launch Obama’s political career in 1995 at his home in Chicago and served on two boards with him. Ayers told Grathwohl that Ayers’ wife, Bernardine Dohrn, planted the bomb. In 1971, the FBI found Ayers’ fingerprints and those of other Weather Underground terrorists in an apartment that had been a bomb-making factory. Because of prosecutorial errors, Ayers went free, boasting, “Guilty as hell, free as a bird.” Dohrn remained underground until 1980, spent jail time for lesser charges, and then went on, like Ayers, to be a professor at a major college. Ayers was at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Dohrn is at Northwestern University. On Oct. 21, Larry Grathwohl told his story at a seminar at the National Press Club sponsored by America’s Survival, Inc. Moderator Cliff Kincaid, who recently obtained a 601-page FBI file of Barack Obama’s communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis, unveiled a raft of speakers and evidence pointing to manipulation of American liberals by actual com- munist revolutionaries. -

It compares the reasons for the investigations, the investigative methods, and the extent of the investigations. The paper uses FBI files as the basis for the information and to form the argument that the FBI chose its targets based on who posed a significant threat to the status quo. -
The Greatest Snow (Job) on Earth
The Greatest Snow (Job) on Earth “All the world’s a stage.“ – William Shakespeare The purpose of this program is to show how a series of events that took place over a period of decades, since the 1960’s, involving a strange cast of chaos-creating characters (hidden networks), were not random at all but, rather, scripted, orchestrated events with the goal of covertly rolling out an intended outcome - Communism. ACT I – Devastation by Deception "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." - Matthew 7:15, KJV SCENE 1: Communism Kills – Death of the Soul Using political operatives, scripted events and communist-“socialist” ideology disguised as popular movements with empty promises made to unwitting peoples (deception), unscrupulous actors backed by wealthy bankers seized complete control of countries, as happened in Bolshevik Soviet Russia, Communist China, Cuba, East Germany and North Korea, creating chaos, destroying all vestiges of culture and history, stealing all wealth, committing unspeakable crimes against humanity, killing millions, leaving the countries in devastation, and condemning the people to poverty and despair. The communist menace continues and has been cunningly exported to America, over several decades. “You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't 2 ptaccept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you'll fall like over ripe fruit into our hands.” - Nikita Khrushchev Mocking quote of Nikita Khrushchev, Former Premier of the Soviet Union and 1st Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1953-1964), during the Cold War and Kennedy Years. -
