CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT?

Cruel and unusual punishment is a phrase describing punishment that is considered to be unacceptable due to the suffering, pain, or humiliation it inflicts on the person subjected to it. And while the definition of the words "cruel" and "unusual" are obviously relative (meaning something different to each person who interprets them) for some odd reason there is great debate as to whether the death penalty is cruel and unusual (when it obviously is). 

The letter of the law versus the spirit of the law is an idiomatic antithesis. When one obeys the letter of the law but not the spirit, one is obeying the literal interpretation of the words (the "letter") of the law, but not the intent of those who wrote the law. And it should be obvious to most emotionally intelligent people that the 8th Amendment to the United States Constitution was meant to be broadly interpreted and/or applied to a variety of situations other than just capital punishment. 

For instance; countless incarcerated males in the United States experience Cruel and Unusual Punishment on a daily basis -- everything from prison rape to beatings -- while women's prisons are cushy in comparison. This is not only a form of government-sanctioned institutionalized gender discrimination; but also essentially in violation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture -- as well as the Eight Amendment to the United States Constitution. Then when you add in the often unnecessary and violent "Use of Force" by law enforcement; it gets uglier by the minute. 

Scientific studies have shown huge differences in brain structure between individuals, and some individuals actually have no ability to feel empathy (see: Narcissistic-Personality Disorder + http://www.livescience.com/37684-narcissistic-personality-disorder-brain-structure.html); and some of these decidedly and/or genetically non-empathetic people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder are in positions of power (Judges, Lawmakers, Police etc). 

"Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), an overwhelming need for admiration, and usually a complete lack of empathy toward others. People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance in everybody’s life or to anyone they meet. While this pattern of behavior may be appropriate for a king in 16th Century England, it is generally considered inappropriate for most ordinary people today..."

For instance; not to be divisive but...almost the entire Republican political party (and/or G.O.P.) is known for it's "lawful" lack of empathy towards pretty much all life on earth (except for humans still within their mothers' wombs that is; humans who need protection in order to create a new generation of young soldiers and/or corporate workers etc); and/or the need to go off to war every Republican era in order to suspend the Constitutional rights of the American public, which is clearly a form of Cruel and Unusual Punishment within itself. And why is this? 

Because what inevitably ensues after this annual Republican Constitutional suspension; is law enforcement treating individuals LIKE TOTAL SHIT (individuals who they took an oath to protect and serve). Law enforcement is allowed to treat people the way dogs should not even be treated during these vile and/or evil Republican eras...and this -- my good people -- is one of the truest definitions of "Cruel and Unusual Punishment".

OTHER OBVIOUS EXAMPLES OF CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT: 1) Arresting people who feed the homeless in Florida; 2) Arresting people who feed ducks in California and injuring them in the process; 3) Arresting people who are peacefully protesting and/or violently attacking peaceful protesters and/or pepper spraying peaceful protesters; 4) Law enforcement asking someone to leave a bar for "trespassing" (isolating the person from their friends) after that person got attacked and the police refused to pull up the surveillance footage; 5) The unrestrained usage of billy clubs and/or guns by law enforcement; 6) Unlawful double jeopardy and/or GPS legs clamps; 7) Solitary confinement; 8) Prison guards who knew Jim Finley was being raped at Elmwood Correctional Facility yet did nothing to stop it (women more often than not DO NOT allow each other to have dignity or self-esteem; while men definitely do -- therefore; allowing men to be raped in prison is FAR MORE psychologically damaging than it is to women -- THE FACT IS; NO ONE DESERVES THIS KIND OF TREATMENT); 9) Allowing Jake Paolinetti and friends to stalk and harass and menace John for almost a decade (then blaming John for what they did); 10) Unlawful orders by law enforcement which violate in/unalienable Constitutional rights; 11) Usage of military drones; 12) War in general (which mainly affects the innocent); 13) Crucifixion etc etc etc...

Humans are mammals; and mammals share traits with all other similar mammalian creatures -- including the fight or flight response; foraging for food (and/or gainful employment); and/or other violent primitive instincts driven by their ancient lower "reptilian brains". As a response to these often violent and/or selfish human/animal tendencies; laws have been created to urge humans out of their relatively uncivilized state of being. 

Everything from the Code of Hammurabi in ancient Babylonia; to the Ten Commandments of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic bible (note: 36 laws from the roughly 9,000 to 100,000 year old "Atlantean" society were recently found at the Nag Hammadi Library in Egypt; 10 of which are now the Ten Commandments); to the Magna Carta issued by King John of England; to the United States Constitution (which took about 14 years to ratify DUE TO CIVIL LIBERTIES CONCERNS); to the United Nations Convention Against Torture; to civil rights laws righteously passed in the 1960s -- all of these actions were intended to lift humans out of their lower mammalian state and civilize them. (And the Eight Amendment does not seem to contain any particular reference to humans as being the only ones protected from cruel and unusual punishment; meaning future interpretations could very well go in the favor of other animals as well; animals who are more often than not "punished" cruelly and unusually for committing no crime).

It is obvious the 8th Amendment to the United States Constitution needs to be more broadly interpreted to serve the common good of all people.

CIVIL RIGHTS: AN OVERVIEW

A civil right is an enforceable right or privilege, which if interfered with by another gives rise to an action for injury. Examples of civil rights are freedom of speech, press, and assembly; the right to vote; freedom from involuntary servitude; and the right to equality in public places. Discrimination occurs when the civil rights of an individual are denied or interfered with because of their membership in a particular group or class. Various jurisdictions have enacted statutes to prevent discrimination based on a person's race, sex, religion, age, previous condition of servitude, physical limitation, national origin, and in some instances sexual orientation.

The most important expansions of civil rights in the United States occurred as a result of the enactment of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery throughout the United States. See U.S. Const. amend. XIII. In response to the Thirteenth Amendment, various states enacted "black codes" that were intended to limit the civil rights of the newly free slaves. 

In 1868 the Fourteenth Amendment countered these "black codes" by stating that no state "shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States... [or] deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, [or] deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." See U.S. Const. amend. XIV. Section Five of the Fourteenth Amendment gave Congress the power by section five of the Fourteenth Amendment to pass any laws needed to enforce the Amendment.

During the reconstruction era that followed, Congress enacted numerous civil rights statutes. Many of these are still in force today and protect individuals from discrimination and from the deprivation of their civil rights. Section 1981 of Title 42 (Equal Rights Under the Law) protects individuals from discrimination based on race in making and enforcing contracts, participating in lawsuits, and giving evidence. See 42 U.S.C. § 1981. Other statutes, derived from acts of the reconstruction era, that protect against discrimination include: 

Civil Action for Deprivation of Rights (See 42 U.S.C. § 1983); Conspiracies to Interfere With Civil Rights (See 42 U.S.C. § 1985); Conspiracy Against Rights of Citizens (See 18 U.S.C. § 241); Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, (See 18 U.S.C. § 242); The Jurisdictional Statue for Civil Rights Cases (See 28 U.S.C. § 1443); and Peonage Abolished (See 42 U.S.C. § 1994).

NOTE: In addition to federal guarantees, state constitutions, statutes and municipal ordinances provide further protection of civil rights. See, e.g., New York's Civil Rights Law.

Note: Civil rights statutes apply to all races and/or classes. The financially prohibitive nature of the justice system in the United States has created a "class-based financial discrimination" which in effect disallows participation by those who cannot afford decent legal representation; therefore violating the civil rights of countless low income individuals in the process.

A MOUNTAIN RANGE OF EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE

LRE RESEARCH

Further proof of John's obvious mental health and/or extreme intelligence is contained within John's independent scientific research. John could have graduated early from High School; but chose instead to drop out of school to play the drums. Years later after the death of his brother Carl; John got interested in science once again and started researching various subjects.  

Extremely intelligent (and/or especially extremely emotionally intelligent) people like John are often seen by relative simpletons as being freaks and/or "mentally ill" due to their incredible intelligence and/or sheer volume of thought; expression and compassion.  

And especially when it comes to emotional intelligence; where it almost seems like John was born with all of the available emotional intelligence in the universe -- while many others somehow got NONE WHATSOEVER.  (George Hills Incorporated; Judge Louis Amadeo Junior; federal X-officer Gabrielle Seagrave and/or Santa Clara officer Pablo Lopez etc etc etc). 

John was even praised for his absolutely brilliant independent scientific research by an alleged C.I.A. agent who added to Johns' research base with even more important information previously unknown to John. So please! Stop the character assassination and get with the program already! High school is over now kiddies; so let's stop the bullying! Bullying starts at the federal government level; then slowly trickles down to everyone else.

FAHRENHEIT 911 FULL MOVIE IN HD ETC

THIS IS THE ENTIRE FAHRENHEIT 911 MOVIE by Michael Moore in HD. This movie is a prime example of how a literal mountain range of valid exculpatory evidence can be ignored to obstruct justice despite the massive human rights violations and/or displacement of human life and/or loss of human life that incurred thereof. This movie should have been privately screened by the entire U.S. Congress; but it unfortunately never was. > go to: FAHRENHEIT 911 @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXDSFWa kTI&list=PL6oforB7ir5KVvLB8_Lg9tjB925SgByPf +  UNPRECEDENTED @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQ7j7Gv-s5g

Bush? But! We do know that George Bush senior invaded Kuwait based upon his own personal financial gain; and that several American oil companies already had the entire country of Iraq mapped out for their own personal corporate financial gain etc BEFORE THE WAR IN IRAQ EVER STARTED!?! > see also: HIGHWAY OF DEATH @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_of_Death

911 COVERUP FALLING APART > When top Bush administration officials immediately and in unison denied knowing that jetliners could be used to attack American landmarks right after 9/11, a number of alert reporters immediately pointed out that this very subject had been under government study for almost a decade. And when U.S. officials immediately released a list of the alleged hijackers, the lie was immediately visible to those with eyes to see: how could they deny knowing this possibility of a massive jetliner attack existed, yet be able to name the alleged hijackers almost instantly because these individuals had been under surveillance for months?

If they could name the alleged hijackers, then they couldn't deny knowing the possibility of using planes as weapons existed, could they?

As astonishing events unfolded after the tragedy — the hasty passage of the Patriot Act (approved by Congress despite virtually no one in Congress reading it before voting for it), which nullified large portions of the U.S. Constitution; constant "terror alerts" about which no evidence was ever produced; the war against Afghanistan which was claimed to be a response to 9/11 yet was planned long before 9/11; and the war against Iraq, which was waged because that nation supposedly threatened America with weapons of mass destruction (which have never and will never be found, unless planted) and had ties to that mystery terror group called Al-Qaeda (since proven to be lies) — many more millions of Americans began to understand that the new peril they were in was not from some shadowy worldwide terror group but from unscrupulous demagogues in Washington who would invent any story — and kill any number of people — in order to improve the fortunes of the very military/industrial power brokers who illegally brought them to power in the first place. > go to: http://www.serendipity.li/wot/911_coverup_falling_apart.htm

THE DEAFNESS BEFORE THE STORM > On April 10, 2004, the Bush White House declassified that daily brief — and only that daily brief — in response to pressure from the 9/11 Commission, which was investigating the events leading to the attack. Administration officials dismissed the document’s significance, saying that, despite the jaw-dropping headline, it was only an assessment of Al Qaeda’s history, not a warning of the impending attack. While some critics considered that claim absurd, a close reading of the brief showed that the argument had some validity. > go to: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/11/opinion/the-bush-white-house-was-deaf-to-9-11-warnings.html?_r=0

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES? > John woke up sometime after midnight on September 11th, 2001 to Donald Rumsfeld on ABC's Nightline talking about "cutting the tail off the dog" in regards to cutting back the U.S. Military and going more space-based with new military technology. Was Mister Rumsfelds' "cutting the tail off the dog" comment a reference to the World Trade Center buildings which were about to be razed? Was this some kind of "GO" signal? Or was it simply a reference to cutting back the military; which clearly DID NOT happen after the events of September 11th? (Mister Rumsfeld was in a newly fortified part of the Pentagon when a missile impacted that part of the building. Was this payback for his threat to cut back the military? -- It's like shutting down an entire slaughterhouse and laying off the employees -- it's just not gonna go over too good [and especially with employees who have access to weapons of mass destruction with little or no oversight]) Instead the U.S. Military was bolstered like never before; receiving more money than ever and therefore making United Defense stocks soar. (a stock both the Bin Laden and Bush families owned). > GO TO: VIDEO OF MISSILE HITTING PENTAGON ON 9/11 @ http://www.theeventchronicle.com/911/newly-released-video-missile-hitting-pentagon-911/#prettyPhoto

QUESTION: 1) Why did a U.S. Military weapons specialist approach John at the old Acapulco Restaurant in Santa Clara shortly after the 911 attacks and claim the FBI had been interrogating him regarding the attacks for possible involvement in them?

 ANSWERS: A) "The United States government has a long history of denying responsibility for destructive and provocative actions. If the United States government wants to help, they can admit their culpability and compensate victims for the damages this attack caused..." -- John 1:1 (go to: http://misinformation.net/) > B) "This (9/11) was all planned. This was a government-ordered operation. Bush personally signed the order. He personally authorized the attacks. He is guilty of treason and mass murder..." -- Stanley Hilton > http://www.rense.com/general57/aale.htm

NOTE: John was 10 years old back in 1972 when the Nixon scandal hit the fan; and while many likely thought it was the wrong idea to expose the corruption that existed at the federal level (go to: http://www.archives.gov/research/pentagon-papers/) and yet others feared the  civil unrest that would inevitably ensue -- once the dust finally settled; the unprecedented events of 1972 brought about massive change within government; and roughly 3 decades of relative prosperity (that is; until evil geniuses within the Republican party were able to finally forcefully turn the ship around once again in September of 2001 >see also:1972; 1992; 2008; X).

POLITICAL ABUSE OF PSYCHIATRY

POLITICAL ABUSE OF PSYCHIATRY is the misuse of psychiatric diagnosis, detention and treatment for the purposes of obstructing the fundamental human rights of certain groups and individuals in a society. In other words, abuse of psychiatry including one for political purposes is deliberate action of getting citizens certified, who, because of their mental condition, need neither psychiatric restraint nor psychiatric treatment. Psychiatrists have been involved in human rights abuses in states across the world when the definitions of mental disease were expanded to include political disobedience. As scholars have long argued, governmental and medical institutions code menaces to authority as mental diseases during political disturbances. Nowadays, in many countries, political prisoners are sometimes confined and abused in mental institutions. Psychiatric confinement of sane people is a particularly pernicious form of repression. > go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_abuse_of_psychiatry

The use of psychiatry for political purposes has been a major subject of debate within the world psychiatric community during the second half of the 20th century. The issue became prominent in the 1970s and 1980s due to the systematic political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union, where approximately one-third of the political prisoners were locked up in psychiatric hospitals. The issue caused a major rift within the World Psychiatric Association, from which the Soviets were forced to withdraw in 1983. They returned conditionally in 1989. Political abuse of psychiatry took also place in other socialist countries and on a systematic scale in Romania, and during the first decade of the 21st century, it became clear that systematic political abuse of psychiatry is also happening in the People's Republic of China. The article discusses the historical background to these abuses and concludes that the issue had a major impact on the development of concepts regarding medical ethics and the professional responsibility of physicians. > go to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2800147/ 

And due to the inside job of September 11th, 2001 (go to: 9-11 Conspiracy Solved Names, Connections, & Details Exposed! @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hhBZJEqoe0A) legal novices in local government thought (and still likely think) they actually had good reason and/or some kind of official legal approval to violate individual human rights and/or destabilize activists by putting them on the same level as terrorists; much like how the federal government destabilizes rebel leaders in other countries > go to: REBEL LEADER LIK ROPER @ http://neighborhood-copwatch.blogspot.com/2008/06/rebel-leader-lik-roper.html.

But! as it turns out; the USA Patriot Act was actually drafted a few weeks before the 9-11 attacks; and not only did a female FBI agent raise red flags about a CIA flight training school which could have averted the attacks (and instead essentially assisted in them); but Senator Diane Feinstein even went as far as warning Vice President Dick Cheney that something big was about to happen a few days before the 9-11 attacks. Mister Cheney responded with "come back in a month". (?!?) Therefore; Mister Cheney (who was Dick Nixon's right hand man. In other words; the most crooked individual in U.S. history) is either GROSSLY NEGLIGENT; OR WAS COMPLICIT IN THE ATTACKS. 

 (Adding to this; ACLU records show that shortly after the 9-11 attacks the FBI admitted to actively destabilizing activists for 25 years prior (and especially black activists); and the USA Patriot Act did nothing more than turn this dirty little secret into law)

Furthermore; it is against the law to discriminate against those with disabilities (and especially if those disabilities are clearly imagined for political purposes; as they are with John). Therefore; discriminatory actions taken against John were not only illegal; but also EXTREMELY unethical and quite clearly based in utter stupidity and/or the violation of John's human rights.
