Zürich: Was geschah in der Nacht vom 2. zum 3. März 2013 wirklich?

In Zürich geschehen in regelmässigen Abständen eigenartige Dinge, in welche die Zürcher Stadtpolizei (StaPo) involviert ist – soeben erneut: Vom 2. auf den 3. März 2013 kam es zu nächtlicher Gewalt auf den Strassen mit Sachbeschädigungen, welche mehrere hunderttausend Franken betragen sollen. Doch die offizielle Geschichte zu den Hergängen ist äusserst sonderbar und zeigt wieder einmal deutlich auf, wie offizielle Kommunikation funktioniert, wie offizielle Stories von Behörden abgesetzt und von den Medien unbesehen kolportiert werden. Da die angeblichen Ordnungshüter nicht einmal die Spur einer Analyse der Vorgänge vornehmen, wollen wir es hier versuchen.

Yesterday we wrote about Attorney General Eric Holder‘s ridiculous claims defending the prosecution of Aaron Swartz. We noted two key things that were ridiculous. First, Holder insisted that Swartz was only facing a few months in jail (he implied 5 months, tops) and scolded the media for claiming it was 35 years. As we noted it was the US Attorneys‘ own press release that trumpeted the 35 years. More importantly, the few months in prison was only if he agreed to plead guilty.

It‘s Official: Too Big to Fail Banks Are Too Big to Jail

Yesterday Attorney General Eric Holder stated openly what was already apparent: The Justice Department believes that Too Big to Fail Banks are Too Big to Jail. Criminal indictments against banks or leading bankers might endanger the economy and thus were too big a risk.
