Here in the ‘great’ USofA:
America’s refusal to extradite Bolivia’s ex-president to face genocide charges
Obama justice officials have all but granted asylum to Sánchez de Lozada – a puppet who payrolled key Democratic advisers

I really have wound down on all my hysterical blather about our new police state. Just getting tired of the repetition, I guess. However, every now and again something like the article above comes along and squeezes another few drops of outrage from this tired old rag.
Also quite amusing, this comment:
No surprise that the War Criminal In Chief only wants extradition for whistle-blowers.
We voted for FDR but we got Bush 3.
The additional irony, of course, is that Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize winner for making soothing statements during a political campaign, has got to be one of the very few winners responsible for wholesale slaughter of innocent people, not to mention, of course, assassinations of his own citizens.
Whistle blowers, protesters, and critics are a danger to the gubmint. Genocidal maniacs are merely a danger to powerless segments of the populace. You can see where this is going.
There’s a sort of physics involved. Forces are applied, motion is imparted, and the end of the path is fully predictable in the absence of countervailing forces.
The opposition to the forces at work in the U.S. are trivial, somewhat akin to a gnat pushing against a golf ball in flight.
Peoples wake up powerless, persecuted, and enslaved and wonder how they got there.
