US Gov't MASS ARRESTS Political Dissidents Protesting US Gov't

People around the world are currently standing up to their corrupt governments, banks & politicians. While corporate media ignores the significance of today's GLOBAL call for accountability, for those who have forsaken Human Rights for profit & for profiteers; The People of France are rising up against their recently increasing Police State

The People of Iceland just ousted their Prime Minister & continue to protest for (another) cleanup & restructuring of government, after the Panama Papers revealed him to be one of the global OLIGARCHS defrauding his own people for personal profit, while holding an office which comes with a vow to serve & protect those very people --- a global trend which is being exposed worldwide at this very moment

Democracy Spring has shown that when protesters against government corruption in the USA take their VOICE to the steps of their highest government building --- those very criminal OLIGARCHS responsible for defrauding & selling into debt-slavery the domestic & global population at their own personal financial profits --- they simply abuse their own corrupt police forces to fraudulently MASS ARREST citizens who are arriving with a legitimate grievance 

Meanwhile these criminal OLIGARCHS & their corrupt police forces (which by inflicting MASS ARREST are themselves, committing crimes against the citizenry) simply abuse the rights of those who call out the corrupt, with an air of seeming impunity; It's a pretty great system --- if you are in fact, a Criminal OLIGARCH 

However, their time is running out & The People are waking up, more & faster than ever. The People are showing up to TAKE our POWER back & to PROTECT our RIGHTS against an increasingly obvious out of control, corrupt government 

MASS ARREST as a WAR CRIME

Indiscriminate mass arrests were designated a war crime in 1944 by a Commission on war crimes created by the London International Assembly. This was one of two items added by that Commission to the list of war crimes that had been drawn up by the Commission on the Responsibility of the Authors of the War and on Enforcement of Penalties in 1919. Specifically, "indiscriminate mass arrests for the purpose of terrorizing the population" were designated as war crimes by the Commission.[18]

At the Netherlands temporary court martial in 1947, several members of the tokkeitai in the Netherlands East Indies were accused of the war crime of indiscriminate mass arrests. The applicable legislation, used by the court, was the NEI Statute Book Decree #44 of 1946, whose definition of war crimes paralleled the Commission's list. Specifically, item #34 of the enumerated list of war crimes under the NEI legislation was "indiscriminate mass arrests for the purpose of terrorising the population, whether described as taking hostages or not"

The court understood the definition of such unlawful mass arrests to be as "arrests of groups of persons firstly on the ground of wild rumours and suppositions, and secondly without definite facts and indications being present with regard to each person which would justify his arrest". To this it added commentary on indiscriminate mass arrests that are for the purpose of terrorizing the populace, stating that they "contained the elements of systematic terrorism for nobody, even the most innocent, was any longer certain of his liberty, and a person once arrested, even if absolutely innocent, could no longer be sure of health and life" [19]

MLK Day Living Wage Vigils at 15 Fast Food Restaurants - January 18, 2016

Local living wage activists will hold vigils simultaneously at fifteen (15) fast food restaurants throughout Tompkins County on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 18) from 3:30-4:30. Will you join us? The Tompkins County Workers’ Center (TCWC) is organizing the vigils with three (3) objectives: Ensure that all fast food workers in Tompkins County, along with their employers, are aware of the new $9.75 fast food minimum wage effective January 1, 2016; Continue building a groundswell demanding that Tompkins County pass a law ensuring a Living Wage for ALL workers in the county; Honor Martin Luther King Jr, and specifically his commitment to working people and to a living wage for all working people. No one who works all day and all week should find on the weekend that they don’t have enough in their pocket to support themselves and their families. A full time job should not be a route to poverty, but a path to opportunity. Let us know and we will assign you to a location where you will join a group of TCWC Living Wage supporters with informational picket signs provided (or bring your own). Locations will include the following: Ithaca Five Guys/Taco Bell, 222 Elmira Road, Ithaca Commons Plaza, Ithaca Jimmy Johns, corner of Seneca and Aurora Sts. Ithaca Chipotle, 740 S. Meadow Street, Ithaca Wendys, 326 Elmira Road, Ithaca Moe’s Southwest Grill, 324 Elmira Road, Ithaca Dunkin Donuts, corner of Green St. and Route 13, Ithaca Starbucks, corner of Seneca and Tioga Sts., Ithaca McDonald’s, 372 Elmira Road, Ithaca Burger King, East Hill Plaza, Ithaca Dominos Pizza, 311 E. Green Street, Ithaca Lansing McDonald’s, 2350 N. Triphammer Road, Lansing Auntie Anne’s and Subway@ Shops at Ithaca Mall (in front of Ramada Inn), Lansing Dryden McDonalds, 51 North Street (Route 13), Dryden Dunkin Donuts, 36 North Street (Route 13), Dryden Trumansburg Subway, 2078 NY-96, Trumansburg Dr. King would approve: “For we know now,” he once stated, “that it isn’t enough to integrate lunch counters. What does it profit a man to be able to eat at an integrated lunch counter if he doesn’t have enough money to buy a hamburger?” “There is nothing but a lack of social vision,” he said another time, “to prevent us from paying an adequate wage to every American whether he [or she] is a hospital worker, laundry worker, maid, or day laborer.” And a final quote: “Now the problem isn’t only unemployment. Do you know that most of the poor people in our country are working every day? They are making wages so low that they cannot begin to function in the mainstream of the economic life of our nation. These are facts which must be seen. And it is criminal to have people working on a full-time basis and a full-time job getting part-time income.”
