Year Zero: Mob Tactics
In Episode 62 Tommy looks at the death of Frank Olson at the hands of the CIA. For over 60 years the death of his father has tormented Eric Olson, Frank’s eldest son, and after exhuming the body in 1994 forensics concluded Frank had been murdered in 1953. Today the government’s story still persists – Frank Olson was slipped LSD as an experiment and he jumped from a 13 floor hotel window. But some people know the truth. “The old timers love it. The tradecraft won.” Seymour Hersh jeered at the thought of the truth being hidden for so long, but what’s good for the CIA isn’t necessarily good for freedom.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly – Democrat Candidates Answer Foreign Policy Questions
The Council On Foreign Relations has asked each Democratic candidate for President 12 questions on foreign policy. Not all of the candidates have responded yet, but since it is CFR, I am confident they will. A mixed bag of answers. The one question they are all consistently bad at answering is on the issue of Israel and Palestine. They all call for a two state solution which is never going to happen. Neither Tulsi Gabbard or Elizabeth Warren have responded yet

Cop Murders Man, Wounds His Parents, Judge is Guilty of Obstruction on Murderer Cop’s Behalf
“What have you done? You’ve shot an entire family!” said the cop’s wife right after he did it. That’s how guilty he is. His own wife called him guilty right there on the spot.
But oh well whatever. He’s a government employee. He can murder whoever he wants. That’s the “law.”

The 80th Anniversary of the Start of WWII in Europe
Just remember, the whole damn thing was Woodrow Wilson’s fault.
Even Winston Churchill, top suspect in the sinking of the Lusitania, later told William Griffin, editor of the New York Enquirer in August 1936 (though he later denied saying it):
“America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn’t entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned Nazism in Germany.”
South Korea’s Internet Cenorship
South Korea is one of the freest and most democratic countries in Asia and also one of the most connected and technologically advanced countries in the world. This country has been the example of an economic miracle. In a little over 50 years it transformed from being a very poor country to one of the richest countries. However, in this video we’re going to talk about the internet. South Korea has the most Internet access in the world. No less than 96% of all South Koreans have access to the internet. However, despite this, the NGO Freedom House, which creates an annual benchmark index on network freedom, South Korea barely reaches the “partially free” status. That puts South Korea at the same level as countries like Nigeria or Kyrgyzstan. So what exactly is happening in South Korea? Why do they have such a low level of network freedom? In this video, we’ll answer these questions and tell you how the South Korean government is copying China’s Internet censorship methods.
New York Cops Who Raped Brooklyn Teen While In Custody Get No Jail Time
Natasha Leonard of The Intercept has been following the story of 18 year old Anna Chambers (not her real name) who was raped by two undercover cops while in their custody for a minor drug charge.

The Chambers case should have been clear-cut from the moment in September 2017 that a hospital rape kit found semen matching Martins’s and Hall’s DNA inside the teenager’s body. The young woman had been detained, handcuffed, and taken into the officers’ unmarked van, having been found in possession of a small amount of drugs. Chambers performed oral sex on both officers and had vaginal sex with Martins. Then the cops left her on a corner.
At the time of the crime, New York law did not acknowledge that a person in custody cannot consent to sex. Though the state legislator did correct this, it was too late for Anna Chambers.
New York State Senate unanimously passed a bill that should have always been a law. Senate bill S7708 asserts that when a person is “under arrest, detention or otherwise in actual custody” by a police officer or other law enforcement official, that person is incapable of consenting to a sexual encounter. That is to say the obvious: There’s no uncoerced sex in police custody — there’s only rape.
Even though the prosecutor recommended a jail sentence, Judge Danny Chun gave them only 5 years probation.
We have two justice systems in this country. One for regular people and one for state actors. The entire American justice system is corrupt – cops, judges, prosecutors, prisons, and politicians. These two cops should be in jail.
