Such important reality as is shown in this picture is virtually unpublishable in mainstream US 'news'media, because US 'news'media need to deceive their public about the most important international realities — such as that the US imposed upon Ukraine a nazi regime against Russia, and the US now lies to accuse Russia for doing what Russia must do in order to protect itself from the US nazi regime next-door. The Azov Battalion uses the Nazi Wolfsangel symbol as its logo. Its founder Andriy Biletsky (center) has moved to ban "race mixing" in the Ukranian parliament. (Azov/Twitter) | This picture is among many which were originally published in the excellent 4 July 2018 article by Asa Winstanley at The Electronic Intifada.

"For the law holds, that it is better that ten guilty persons escape, than that one innocent suffer," wrote Sir William Blackstone in 1765, expressing a fundamental principle of Anglo-Saxon justice. Miko Peled, in " Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five," his exhaustive study of the U.S. government's case against five defendants from a friendless minority, demonstrates how American justice has deviated so far from Blackstone that the courts can convict a hundred innocents for one who is guilty. "Injustice" portrays a modern version of Franz Kafka's "Trial" in which five Palestinian-Americans confront the character Joseph K.'s dilemma: "K. was living in a free country, after all, everywhere was at peace, all laws were decent and were upheld, who was it who dared accost him in his own home?" | The FBI, the Treasury Department, and other assorted…
