  • Exposing Israel’s Abuse of Palestinian Child Detainees

    Exposing Israel’s Abuse of Palestinian Child Detainees

    CJPME is proud to publish its latest analysis, “Heartbreaking Disparity: Child Detainees in Canada vs. Israel.” The report exposes the cruel and discriminatory treatment that Palestinian child detainees face in Israel’s military court system, and provides a call for action to protect and uphold their rights. The report is unique in how it compares Canada’s […]

  • Traitor to the Constitution: The U.S. Government Is the Real Criminal

    Traitor to the Constitution: The U.S. Government Is the Real Criminal

    The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable. — H.L. Mencken, “Le Contrat Social” in: Prejudices: Third Series […]

  • Biden Indicts Trump on 5 Charges That Applied Also to Hillary Clinton, Who Was Never Charged

    Biden Indicts Trump on 5 Charges That Applied Also to Hillary Clinton, Who Was Never Charged

    Alan J. Russo opened the “Conclusions” section of his extraordinary (extraordinarily fine) 1970 Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review article, “Equal Protection from the Law: The Substantive Requirements for a Showing of Discriminatory Law Enforcement,” by saying: In order to be acquitted in a penal proceeding on grounds of discriminatory enforcement, a defendant generally has […]

  • Charter Schools Are Quintessentially and Irreversibly Private Schools by Design

    Despite endless disinformation from charter school promoters that charter schools are public schools, they differ profoundly—legally, organizationally, fiscally, and philosophically—from public schools. They are not the same. The dissimilarities are numerous by design. Calling them “public” 50 times a day does not spontaneously make charter schools public. Nor does receiving public funds automatically make charter […]

  • Convenient Villains: Kathleen Folbigg’s Miscarriage of Justice

    They – being the howling press, the screeching vox populi, and anybody else wishing to weigh in – were very clear about it. Kathleen Folbigg was guilty as hell and deserved her special place in it. For two decades, she spent her time behind bars in New South Wales, condemned by a jury for killing […]

  • The Emergency State’s Plot to Override the Constitution

    The Emergency State’s Plot to Override the Constitution

    Rule by indefinite emergency edict risks leaving all of us with a shell of a democracy and civil liberties just as hollow. — Justice Neil Gorsuch We have become a nation in a permanent state of emergency. Power-hungry and lawless, the government has weaponized one national crisis after another in order to expand its powers […]

  • Ben Roberts-Smith: The Breaking of a Plaster Saint

    It was an ugly case lasting five years with a host of ugly revelations. But what could be surprising about the murderous antics of a special arm of the military, in this case, the Australian Special Air Service Regiment, which was repeatedly deployed on missions in an open-ended war which eventually led to defeat and […]

  • When Anti-Government Speech Becomes Sedition

    When Anti-Government Speech Becomes Sedition

    In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. — George Orwell Let’s be clear about one thing: seditious conspiracy isn’t a real crime to anyone but the U.S. government. To be convicted of seditious conspiracy, the charge levied against Stewart Rhodes who was sentenced to 18 years in prison for being […]

  • Meta and Privacy: The Economy of Data Transgressions

    Meta, to put it rather inelegantly, has a data non-compliance problem. That problem began in the original conception of Facebook, a social network conceived by that most anti-social of types, Mark Zuckerberg. (Who claims that these troubled sorts lack irony?) On May 22, the European Union deemed it appropriate to slap a $1.3 billion fine […]

  • Doing Squats with John Gotti’s Lawyer

    My first personal trainer job was a doozy. I launched my career at New York City’s decadently scandalous Vertical Club — sort of the Studio 54 of gyms. On a nightly basis, I interacted with the Big Apple’s financial/social elite (and their myriad hangers-on). As for celebrities, it was always veritable who’s who — from […]
