NYPD Gone Wild: Drones vs Occupy Wall Street?
My debut television interview on RT. Police in New York have violently dispersed an anti-Wall Street rally, arresting more than seven hundred people after a dramatic showdown on Brooklyn bridge.
Occupy Wall Street protestor's at the Brookyln Bridge on October 1, 2011.
When I was first contacted by RT producer Maria Kvantrishvili from Moscow this morning, I was exhausted and half asleep from moving the previous day. I was only awake because I set my alarm to 6:30 am so that I wouldn’t miss the sunrise over the Atlantic ocean. Slowly as I started to awaken, I was very interested in being on an RT interview. I told Maria via phone that I had just moved and had not even checked my modem to see if it worked. The modem worked fine and it was a go! Please watch my debut television interview on RT.

I ran out of time during my interview and had a few more things that I wanted to add concerning the NYPD. Raymond Kelly the NYPD commissioner said on 60 minutes a week ago today that “The NYPD has more employees than the FBI.”
In addition, the NYPD collaborates with the Secret Service, U.S. military, FEMA and the CIA. They also ‘mosque crawl’ (infiltrate mosques with under cover agents and target muslim’s) in the State of New Jersey! That is correct, the New York Police Department are conducting undercover ops in the state of New Jersey. Wait, it gets better. The CIA are only supposed to engage on intelligence activities on American’s off of U.S. soil but they are training the NYPD how to do it, even outside of the state of New York and outside of the country for that matter. The NYPD have ‘cops on the ground’ gathering intelligence in the Dominican Republic, UK, Singapore, France, Spain, Jordan, Abu Dhabi, Tel Aviv and Montreal.
An article in the Atlantic stated that, “Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the New York Police Department has become one of the nation’s most aggressive domestic intelligence agencies, targeting ethnic communities in ways that would run afoul of civil liberties rules if practiced by the federal government, an Associated Press investigation has found.These operations have benefited from unprecedented help from the CIA, a partnership that has blurred the line between foreign and domestic spying.”
I say that the line is not merely blurred but is invisible, there is no apparent distinction especially in regards to jurisdiction. What is the NYPD a police department or an international intelligence agency? Were New Yorkers and Americans so blinded by 9/11 that they would let this happen to them. Let their rights be stripped from them and then enable the NYPD to become a colossal surveillance agency with no boundaries nor jurisdiction? As well as using 3 $BILLION of taxpayers money since 9/11 to do it?
