It’s a surprise to learn that Medea Benjamin was allowed into a press conference marking the anniversary of Osama Bin Laden’s mysterious execution. ‘Counterterrorism Advisor’ John Brennan spoke about US military operations overseas, including the use of drones to kill suspected combatants, at the April 30 event at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in DC. Medea (whom you may remember from the Jefferson Dance Party) stood and interrupted the official’s speech and spoke out on behalf of innocent victims of increasingly advanced US militarism. The venue was reasonable enough to not ask that she be arrested after police dragged her from the room. Linked you can read Medea’s account of the event, and see the courageous interruption below:

Today Dave Ridley published an illustrated weekly audio broadcast from Ron Paul on the current state of US foreign intervention. He makes note of the fact that suicide rates among combat veterans are higher than rates of combat fatalities. He goes on to cite how Joseph Stiglitz, chief economist for the World Bank (and a Keynesian, nonetheless) wrote a 2008 article, The True Cost of the Iraq War, and discusses how broken window economic strategies are bleeding the market.
We're the Palestinians, to that corrupt Lenco guy. We're "causing problems" for him. That's why they need a tank. Never mind that Jerusalem used to be.. oh never mind.
But he's right. This is the US economy. Bribe some congressmen who "represent" a half million people and who we have 0 influence over, get a law passed that requires the government to buy your military hardware and give it to local cops–boom, pop the champagne baby, you've made your bonus.
Those who really wish to see how this disgusting waste of tax payer money fits in with 911,Homeland Security and the MIC puzzle please read the history of Germany from about 1929 to 1945 when the country was being converted to a dictatorship and then being reduced to a smoking pile of rubble. littered with dead bodies. When the Germans were unable to employ its people producing something useful they were instead employed in making all the hardware that was then fed into the vile and evil military machine and the Gestapo that gave us 6 million dead Jews and… Read more »
If only Master Yoda stuck to his inhibitions about Anakin Skywalker the Empire never wouldve conquered the galaxy!
Leave it to enslave keene to say some idiotic,immature non sense..
Tell us Marvin please tell us;
How my statement is anymore ridiculous than the tinfoilian fears of a truck which will never ever be used to harm one innocent person, please tell us, we want to know.
It is merely an armored car. If this armored car had a 120mm gun on it then it might be something to be concerned about. An armored car seems like a useful tool for any police force. It is possible that this armored car could be useful. We should not forget that trouble can occur in Keene. Standoffs, a bank robbery, and a school shooting are all examples of a situation where an armored police car would be a great idea. I don't want to hear "that has never happened in Keene" because Columbine, CO, Blacksburg, VA once could argue… Read more »
I think KPD should use it for ice rescues.
It is a rescue vehicle, right? *cough* BS *cough*
Larry, the USA was one of the countries that crushed the Nazi Regime ya dolt. People can't even JOKE about naziism in this country without being ostracized, so your unoriginal theory is ridiculous. You actually think Keene Police is going to take over the country with their Ford F-550? LOL. *hears off in the distance the sounds of a cuckoo clock striking 12 O'Clock*
Nice Jasper….wishing officer's at KPD get killed by crashing through ice. Are you THAT pissed off about 5 dollar parking tickets? IDIOT.
Do you think a huge f-550 can actually be used to rescue anything? It doesn't fit in the woods, gets severely stuck in mud, can't go on ice. Hell, it exceeds the weight limit for most rural roads and bridges. It's a bald face lie. I'm pointing that out. If they're dumb enough to use it for a rescue, that's on them. Darwin award, maybe? It's clearly not designed to be a rescue vehicle and it's obvious to anyone that's even remotely mechanically savvy. If it was, it would probably go to FD like all the actual rescue vehicles. Just… Read more »
You're the IDIOT falling for this bullshit.
"Do you think a huge f-550 can actually be used to rescue anything?"
Yes, I do.
"You’re the IDIOT falling for this bullshit."
So says the guy who just posted an inference to a desire that our KPD officers be KIA. "Peaceful Evolution" IDIOT.

If it does get stuck it will need the king of all tow trucks…

"Free Keene is a particularly active branch of the Free State movement."
-Quote from Huff. Post article…
SEE!…the "FreeKeene" CULT IS a branch of the FSP…
It's in the Huffington Post, it MUST BE the TRUTH!…
The Bearcat is coming.
Fuck Clark and his Dad. Or his kid. whatever…
Keene is getting a BearCat. Deal with it.
Live with it. Or die. Whatever.
Yay! Lenco!
Hey, lil justy's back with all he's got!
So brave. You're a true hero.
Another Government Waste for Thugery Homeland Security, Keene must have a thugery Police Dept. or they have no balls to handle their small community. Are they that afraid of your Keene "We the People"?
The Star Wars analogy or reference is "nail on the head" quite relevant. In fact, the next pope will be the AntiChrist, much like a real life Darth Vader, in function, purpose and role in ending the world.
Bearcats must not only be denied and kept at bay, but all other military equipment, vehicles and weapons must be prohibited from possession and use by civilian government. All citizens without violent felony convictions who want to be armed unlimited should be rather than police who constantly prove their abuse of power and terrorist m.o.
