Hello, my name is Richard Dieter & I'm the Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center, or DPIC.
For over twenty years, DPIC has helped to change fundamentally the American discourse on capital punishment, moving it away from emotionally charged rhetoric and toward a well-informed, fact-based discussion. We have pursued this goal through a strategy of professional communications and educational outreach to the public. In collaboration with other organizations, we have seen a sharp reversal in the course of the death penalty over the past decade. The country has moved from an era of increasing executions and state expansion to one of clear decline by every measure.
We have developed strong relationships with journalists, editors, and producers, across the country and internationally. They trust the accuracy of DPIC's information and insights. People everywhere rely on DPIC as a valuable resource. With the powerful tool of information that DPIC makes available, opinion leaders and decision-makers have been able to bring about considerable change on this issue.
DPIC provides a wide range of tools and resources to educate the public about the death penalty system. Our website, deathpenaltyinfo.org, has often had over 1 million hits in a day. The number of "unique visitors" exceeds that of many national organizations with broad agendas. The site is continually updated and expanded, and includes such valuable resources as searchable databases, videos, podcasts, fact sheets, and referrals to other organizations. The site is often linked to by national media websites and referred to in court opinions, legislative materials, books, and by people who work on this issue.
We believe that a well-informed, balanced discussion on the death penalty is essential to address the problems of this system. To that end, DPIC has published more than 20 reports on various issues related to the death penalty, including reports focused on innocence, costs, race, and the quality of legal representation. These reports exposed glaring flaws in the country's death penalty system, and hence, raised awareness of the need for change. We hope that you will join us in addressing this critical issue.
Is the United States a death penalty country?
With death penalty laws on the books in 32 states, it might appear so, but a new report from the Death Penalty Information Center shows the reality is that just 2% of counties account for the majority of death row inmates and executions in the modern era of the death penalty.
80% of American counties have no inmates on death row, and 85% have not had a case result in an execution.
Although death penalty cases come from a small number of counties, all state taxpayers share the high cost of pursuing the death penalty, and the costs of review by federal courts are drawn from taxpayers across the country.
One of the most thorough studies of death penalty expenses estimated the total cost of one death sentence at $3 million. Since the reinstatement of the death penalty, there have been over 8,300 death sentences in the U.S. The estimated total cost of these cases is a staggering $25 billion. These costs largely fall on taxpayers outside the counties that have sought the death penalty.
If this cost is divided by the number of executions during that time, the result is almost $20 million per execution. Instead of one execution, states could pay the salaries of over 250 more police officers or teachers for a year at $75,000 each.
In those relatively few counties that heavily use the death penalty, the legal system is often fraught with errors.
Philadelphia County is responsible for nearly half of Pennsylvania's death row inmates, yet it has paid court-appointed lawyers the lowest fees in the state, frequently has death sentences reversed because of inadequate defense representation, and has a record of racial bias in handing down death sentences.
Maricopa County, AZ ranks fourth in the country in the number of death row inmates and has sent many inmates to execution. Former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas used the death penalty so aggressively that at one point the county overwhelmed the courts with 149 pending capital cases. In 2012, Thomas was unanimously disbarred by the Arizona Supreme Court for corruption and abuse of power.
And the systemic problems in Philadelphia and Maricopa represent a larger trend. A 2000 study found that counties that used the death penalty more often had significantly higher reversal rates than counties that used the death penalty infrequently, meaning that their death sentences are more likely to be overturned due to errors.
The vast majority of counties in the U.S. have no one on death row and have not had a case resulting in an execution in over 45 years. In the last 6 years, 6 states have ended the death penalty, and a growing number of District Attorneys are finding that seeking the death penalty no longer makes sense. For the majority of counties in the U.S., the death penalty is already irrelevant.

A condemned murderer took nearly two hours to die and gasped for about 90 minutes during an execution in Arizona on Wednesday that quickly rekindled the national debate on capital punishment in the US.
"This is a turning point," Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, told the AP in an interview on Thursday.
"The death penalty doesn't always break through to the national consciousness on each execution. But now it has three times in a row in a few months and there's been other stories, so we're at a tipping point, we'll see what happens, but clearly some change is in the offing," he said.
The execution of 55-year-old Joseph Rudolph Wood took so long that his lawyers had time to file an emergency appeal while it was ongoing.
The Arizona Supreme Court calling an impromptu hearing on the matter, but Wood died during the discussions.
It is the third prolonged execution this year in the U.S., including one in Ohio in which an inmate gasped in similar fashion for nearly half-an-hour.
An Oklahoma inmate died of a heart attack in April, minutes after prison officials halted his execution because the drugs weren't being administered properly.

Public support for the death penalty is at its lowest level in 40 years, and that lack of support is reflected in the use of the death penalty across the country. The 2013 Year End Report, issued on December 19th by the Death Penalty Information Center shows that by almost every measure, the death penalty declined in the United States in 2013.
The number of death sentences imposed remained near the record low. Many prominent death penalty states, such as South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana, had no new sentences this year.
For only the second time in 19 years, there were fewer than 40 executions. That is less than half the number carried out in 1999, when the number of executions peaked in the modern era. Only nine states carried out executions. The majority came from just two states: Texas and Florida.
Maryland abolished the death penalty this year, becoming the 6th state in 6 years to do so. This brings the total number of states without the death penalty to 18.
Mistakes continued to plague the death penalty. In October, Reginald Griffin of Missouri became the 143rd person exonerated from death row. At the time of his trial, prosecutors withheld critical evidence about another suspect. Griffin spent 30 years in prison, mostly on death row.
Concerns over innocence, unfairness, and other issues have caused leaders from across the political spectrum to voice concerns about the death penalty. Mary Kate Cary, a conservative commentator and former speechwriter for George H.W. Bush, joined a growing number of conservatives questioning capital punishment when she said, "Times have changed, and it's time for conservatives to get on the right side of the death penalty argument. One can oppose the death penalty and still be in favor of a tough, affordable, accurate and fair criminal justice system."
The history of the death penalty shows that its problems are not easily fixed, and new ones are almost certain to arise. It is likely that the declining use of the death penalty will continue as more state legislatures consider repealing what has become a very expensive and unpredictable punishment.

With the US continuing to execute prisoners, Fault Lines presenter Josh Rushing looks at the politics driving capital punishment in the US.
Eighty per cent of the executions the US carries out occur in a handful of states in the South - where it is popular for politicians to run "tough on crime" campaigns.
Fault Lines travels to Oklahoma -- which executes more prisoners per capita than any other state in the country. Josh Rushing gained rare access to Oklahoma's death row and the prisoners there.
But across the US, there is a slow, but significant shift in America's attitude towards the death penalty.
DNA testing and, in some states, a willingness by judges and prosecutors to revisit old capital cases have led to many well-publicised exonerations of death row inmates.
Since 1973 over 130 innocent people have been released from death row after establishing their innocence. The possibility of getting it wrong may have made juries nervous to hand out the death penalty ... preferring life without parole.
And while the US is still very much pro-death for capital offences, that support has dropped to 65 per cent in 2006, down from 80 per cent in 1994.

Professor at University of California Irvine, Elizabeth Cauffman, describes the focus of her research into what gets kids out of crime. Her research has not only delved into this subject but has also impacted legislation dealing with the death penalty and life without parole of juvenile defenders.
http://www.DocuInc.com
Elizabeth Cauffman, Ph.D. Professor - Department of Psychology and Social Behavior - Department of Education
My name is Elizabeth Cauffman I'm in the psychology and social behavior department in the school of social ecology.
The main focus of my research is on adolescent development and how kids change and how they develop over time and that really informs or provides the court with a foundation for better understanding of how to treat kids within the system. So a lot of my work is on when should kids be tried as adults, are they competent to stand trial, what are the right responses the justice system should have to kids during this developmental time period. So a lot of my research centers on if adolescents are so smart, why do they do such stupid things. A lot of kids end up making very immature decisions and better trying to understand what that disconnect is, so recent advances in neuroscience have shown that the brain is continuing to develop up until the age of 25 and that is particularly in the area of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for impulse control, planning, future orientation. Given that this is the last part of the brain to develop, it's not surprising that kids are more impulsive, don't think through their actions. And this is important cause in the research we've been doing, we've found that kids are much more responsive to rewards than they are to punishments. For instance, we've been following kids for the past seven years, these are serious offenders, these are offenders who've committed very heinous crimes. And a lot of people think that if you've committed a serious crime you must be a serious offender, and that life is over, this is a person that cannot be rehabilitated. And what we want to do is look at what predicts who stops offending, who desists from criminal activity. A lot of people look at the predictors of what gets kids into crime, very few people look at what gets kids out of crime. One of the things we know from our findings is that as kids mature the more likely they are to stop offending.
The most exciting way that I have seen my research impact policy is having the supreme court take up the issue of the death penalty for juvenile offenders. It's hard to believe that the United States is one of the last countries to still execute their children. So my research not only impacted the abolishment of the juvenile death penalty, but it was also involved in the recent 2010 abolishment of life without the possibility of parole for non homicide cases for juvenile offenders and to know that my research had an impact on the policies of this country is very exciting.

Larry's Testimony in Support of HB 2372
Testimony of Larry Halloran in support of HB 2372;
Chairman Kinzer and Members of the House Judiciary Committee,
We ask for your support of HB 2372; An Act concerning immigration; requiring verification of employment eligibility and making other amendments concerning immigration.
The fundamental question today is not illegal immigration itself. If we are a nation of laws and are faithful to our obligations as citizens or legislators then we will rightfully conclude that the rule of law is the bedrock foundation of our society and passage of this legislation should require little debate.
I would not dispute that employer and citizen alike have found the blind eye beneficial to their pocket book but financial gain, open borders or humanitarian compassion are not acceptable substitutes for the rule of law. Yesterdays benefit (however perceived) is today's liability as our citizens find themselves struggling to meet the increased burden of illegal immigration on our society that cannot be measured in financial terms alone.
The blessings and benefits of America are bountiful. But, if they are to be preserved for our posterity and those seeking the benefit of citizenship they must be secured by principled adherence to our state and federal Constitutions.
Illegal immigration is a festering cancer that damages both our society and those unlawfully seeking employment. It creates the necessity for a second society operating under the radar that inhibits the necessary assimilation of new immigrants into the America family. We are no longer concerned with a few thousand illegal immigrants that could be easily absorbed but rather tens of millions that now tax the limits of our social networks. It is past time for the half measured approaches, nod and wink policies and felonious excuses of citizen, employer and legislator alike related to the employment eligibility of illegal immigrants are put to rest. It is time that a lawful approach to employment eligibility verification becomes the rule for all employers and the accepted social norm for all citizens. Of even greater importance is that you, the citizen legislator, honor your oath of office and uphold the rule of law.
Our Founders studied the laws and customs of many nations (both failed and existing) and took from them guidance for our Constitution that best protected a free people and society. For over 200 years, our Constitution has served as the legal binder for our citizens and those wishing to assimilate into a free society. Today, many seek to dilute the authority of our Constitution through substitution of unlawful privileges that in essence establish an equal but separate society within our borders. A society that stands in stark contrast and in opposition to the fundamental necessity of assimilation at the expense of individual liberties guaranteed to all by our Constitution. Such practices serve to disadvantage the citizens and legal immigrants that play by the rules and adhere to our laws by granting unearned favor to the illegal immigrant.
Surely, we are all aware of the inequities, consequences and unquestionable failures of equal but separate jurisprudence practiced at times within our own society. To turn a blind eye or foster such practices is treasonous to our founding principles, documents and the faith of those who gave all to defend and preserve the greatest grant of freedom ever known to man; America.
The challenges before us in preserving the free society and America are indeed great but do include a provision for national suicide. Tolerance does not beget equal but separate in a free society but instead requires assimilation through shared core values and equal application of the laws
Thank you for your favorable support of HB 2372, your service and the defense of freedom for all.
Respectfully,
Larry Halloran, Chairman

Capital punishment
Capital punishment, death penalty or execution is government sanctioned punishment by death. The sentence is referred to as a death sentence. Crimes that can result in a death penalty are known as capital crimes or capital offences, such as first degree murder, terrorism, and espionage. The term capital originates from the Latin capitalis, literally "regarding the head" (referring to execution by beheading). There are many execution methods; one widely practiced form historically that is the most common modern method used in jurisdictions with capital punishment is hanging.
Capital punishment has, in the past, been practiced by most societies, as a punishment for criminals, and political or religious dissidents. Historically, the carrying out of the death sentence was often accompanied by torture, and executions were most often public.
Thirty-six countries actively practice capital punishment, 103 countries have completely abolished it de jure for all crimes, 6 have abolished it for ordinary crimes only (while maintaining it for special circumstances such as war crimes), and 50 have abolished it de facto (have not used it for at least ten years and/or are under moratorium). No Western country still uses the death penalty except the United States.

Death Penalty Information Center
The Death Penalty Information Center (abbreviated DPIC) is a non-profit organization that focuses on disseminating studies and reports related to the death penalty by itself and others to the news media and general public. The Center was founded in 1990 and is primarily focused on the application of capital punishment in the United States. The Center does not take an official position on the death penalty, but is in actuality an anti-death penalty organization.
The Center is based in Washington, D.C., and its executive director is Robert Dunham. David J. Bradford, co-chairman of the litigation department for the national law firm, Jenner & Block, and the founding attorney of the Roderick and Solange MacArthur Justice Center is president of the board of directors, succeeding the late Michael Millman.
Criticism
According to a pro-death penalty prosecutor, the DPIC is “probably the single most comprehensive and authoritative internet resource on the death penalty”, but “this site makes absolutely no effort to present any pro-death penalty views, and liberally spreads propaganda and rhetoric on behalf of ‘the cause’.”

Death
Death is the termination of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. Phenomena which commonly bring about death include biological aging (senescence), predation, malnutrition, disease, suicide, homicide, starvation, dehydration, and accidents or trauma resulting in terminal injury. Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death. Death has commonly been considered a sad or unpleasant occasion, due to the termination of social and familial bonds with the deceased or affection for the being that has died. Other concerns include fear of death, necrophobia, anxiety, sorrow, grief, emotional pain, depression, sympathy, compassion, solitude, or saudade.
Etymology
The word death comes from Old English deað, which in turn comes from Proto-Germanic *dauthuz (reconstructed by etymological analysis). This comes from the Proto-Indo-European stem *dheu- meaning the "Process, act, condition of dying".
Associated terms
The concept and symptoms of death, and varying degrees of delicacy used in discussion in public forums, have generated numerous scientific, legal, and socially acceptable terms or euphemisms for death. When a person has died, it is also said they have passed away, passed on, expired, or are gone, among numerous other socially accepted, religiously specific, slang, and irreverent terms. Bereft of life, the dead person is then a corpse, cadaver, a body, a set of remains, and when all flesh has rotted away, a skeleton. The terms carrion and carcass can also be used, though these more often connote the remains of non-human animals. As a polite reference to a dead person, it has become common practice to use the participle form of "decease", as in the deceased; another noun form is decedent. The ashes left after a cremation are sometimes referred to by the neologism cremains, a portmanteau of "cremation" and "remains".

Supreme court
A supreme court is the highest court within the hierarchy of many legal jurisdictions. Other descriptions for such courts include court of last resort, instance court, judgment court, apex court, and highest court of appeal. Broadly speaking, the decisions of a supreme court are not subject to further review by any other court. Supreme courts typically function primarily as appellate courts, hearing appeals from decisions of lower trial courts, or from intermediate-level appellate courts.
However, not all highest courts are named as such. Civil law states do not tend to have singular highest courts. Additionally, the highest court in some jurisdictions is not named the "Supreme Court", for example, the High Court of Australia; this is because decisions by the High Court could formerly be appealed to the Privy Council. On the other hand, in some places the court named the "Supreme Court" is not in fact the highest court; examples include the New York Supreme Court, the Supreme Courts of several Canadian provinces/territories and the former Supreme Court of Judicature of England and Wales, which are all superseded by higher Courts of Appeal.

3:03The 2% Death Penalty: How a Minority of Counties Produce Most Death Cases
The 2% Death Penalty: How a Minority of Counties Produce Most Death CasesThe 2% Death Penalty: How a Minority of Counties Produce Most Death Cases
Is the United States a death penalty country? With death penalty laws on the books in 32 states, it might appear so, but a new report from the Death Penalty Information Center shows the reality is that just 2% of counties account for the majority of death row inmates and executions in the modern era of the death penalty. 80% of American counties have no inmates on death row, and 85% have not had a case result in an execution. Although death penalty cases come from a small number of counties, all state taxpayers share the high cost of pursuing the death penalty, and the costs of review by federal courts are drawn from taxpayers across the country. One of the most thorough studies of death penalty expenses estimated the total cost of one death sentence at $3 million. Since the reinstatement of the death penalty, there have been over 8,300 death sentences in the U.S. The estimated total cost of these cases is a staggering $25 billion. These costs largely fall on taxpayers outside the counties that have sought the death penalty. If this cost is divided by the number of executions during that time, the result is almost $20 million per execution. Instead of one execution, states could pay the salaries of over 250 more police officers or teachers for a year at $75,000 each. In those relatively few counties that heavily use the death penalty, the legal system is often fraught with errors. Philadelphia County is responsible for nearly half of Pennsylvania's death row inmates, yet it has paid court-appointed lawyers the lowest fees in the state, frequently has death sentences reversed because of inadequate defense representation, and has a record of racial bias in handing down death sentences. Maricopa County, AZ ranks fourth in the country in the number of death row inmates and has sent many inmates to execution. Former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas used the death penalty so aggressively that at one point the county overwhelmed the courts with 149 pending capital cases. In 2012, Thomas was unanimously disbarred by the Arizona Supreme Court for corruption and abuse of power. And the systemic problems in Philadelphia and Maricopa represent a larger trend. A 2000 study found that counties that used the death penalty more often had significantly higher reversal rates than counties that used the death penalty infrequently, meaning that their death sentences are more likely to be overturned due to errors. The vast majority of counties in the U.S. have no one on death row and have not had a case resulting in an execution in over 45 years. In the last 6 years, 6 states have ended the death penalty, and a growing number of District Attorneys are finding that seeking the death penalty no longer makes sense. For the majority of counties in the U.S., the death penalty is already irrelevant.

Death penalty expert comments on latest bungled execution that's reigniting debate in the USDeath penalty expert comments on latest bungled execution that's reigniting debate in the US
A condemned murderer took nearly two hours to die and gasped for about 90 minutes during an execution in Arizona on Wednesday that quickly rekindled the national debate on capital punishment in the US. "This is a turning point," Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, told the AP in an interview on Thursday. "The death penalty doesn't always break through to the national consciousness on each execution. But now it has three times in a row in a few months and there's been other stories, so we're at a tipping point, we'll see what happens, but clearly some change is in the offing," he said. The execution of 55-year-old Joseph Rudolph Wood took so long that his lawyers had time to file an emergency appeal while it was ongoing. The Arizona Supreme Court calling an impromptu hearing on the matter, but Wood died during the discussions. It is the third prolonged execution this year in the U.S., including one in Ohio in which an inmate gasped in similar fashion for nearly half-an-hour. An Oklahoma inmate died of a heart attack in April, minutes after prison officials halted his execution because the drugs weren't being administered properly.

2:08The Death Penalty in 2013: Year End Review
The Death Penalty in 2013: Year End ReviewThe Death Penalty in 2013: Year End Review
Public support for the death penalty is at its lowest level in 40 years, and that lack of support is reflected in the use of the death penalty across the country. The 2013 Year End Report, issued on December 19th by the Death Penalty Information Center shows that by almost every measure, the death penalty declined in the United States in 2013. The number of death sentences imposed remained near the record low. Many prominent death penalty states, such as South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana, had no new sentences this year. For only the second time in 19 years, there were fewer than 40 executions. That is less than half the number carried out in 1999, when the number of executions peaked in the modern era. Only nine states carried out executions. The majority came from just two states: Texas and Florida. Maryland abolished the death penalty this year, becoming the 6th state in 6 years to do so. This brings the total number of states without the death penalty to 18. Mistakes continued to plague the death penalty. In October, Reginald Griffin of Missouri became the 143rd person exonerated from death row. At the time of his trial, prosecutors withheld critical evidence about another suspect. Griffin spent 30 years in prison, mostly on death row. Concerns over innocence, unfairness, and other issues have caused leaders from across the political spectrum to voice concerns about the death penalty. Mary Kate Cary, a conservative commentator and former speechwriter for George H.W. Bush, joined a growing number of conservatives questioning capital punishment when she said, "Times have changed, and it's time for conservatives to get on the right side of the death penalty argument. One can oppose the death penalty and still be in favor of a tough, affordable, accurate and fair criminal justice system." The history of the death penalty shows that its problems are not easily fixed, and new ones are almost certain to arise. It is likely that the declining use of the death penalty will continue as more state legislatures consider repealing what has become a very expensive and unpredictable punishment.

Fault Lines - Politics of Death RowFault Lines - Politics of Death Row
With the US continuing to execute prisoners, Fault Lines presenter Josh Rushing looks at the politics driving capital punishment in the US. Eighty per cent of the executions the US carries out occur in a handful of states in the South - where it is popular for politicians to run "tough on crime" campaigns. Fault Lines travels to Oklahoma -- which executes more prisoners per capita than any other state in the country. Josh Rushing gained rare access to Oklahoma's death row and the prisoners there. But across the US, there is a slow, but significant shift in America's attitude towards the death penalty. DNA testing and, in some states, a willingness by judges and prosecutors to revisit old capital cases have led to many well-publicised exonerations of death row inmates. Since 1973 over 130 innocent people have been released from death row after establishing their innocence. The possibility of getting it wrong may have made juries nervous to hand out the death penalty ... preferring life without parole. And while the US is still very much pro-death for capital offences, that support has dropped to 65 per cent in 2006, down from 80 per cent in 1994. People and organizations featured in this film include: Edith Shoals, Michael Selsor, Carol Anderson, Frank Keating, Richard Dieter, Jim Fowler, Constance Johnson, Greg Whilhoit, Commissioner Justin Jones, Oklahoma State Penitentiary, Death Penalty Information Center, Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

Professor at University of California Irvine, Elizabeth Cauffman, describes the focus of her research into what gets kids out of crime. Her research has not only delved into this subject but has also impacted legislation dealing with the death penalty and life without parole of juvenile defenders. http://www.DocuInc.com Elizabeth Cauffman, Ph.D. Professor - Department of Psychology and Social Behavior - Department of Education My name is Elizabeth Cauffman I'm in the psychology and social behavior department in the school of social ecology. The main focus of my research is on adolescent development and how kids change and how they develop over time and that really informs or provides the court with a foundation for better understanding of how to treat kids within the system. So a lot of my work is on when should kids be tried as adults, are they competent to stand trial, what are the right responses the justice system should have to kids during this developmental time period. So a lot of my research centers on if adolescents are so smart, why do they do such stupid things. A lot of kids end up making very immature decisions and better trying to understand what that disconnect is, so recent advances in neuroscience have shown that the brain is continuing to develop up until the age of 25 and that is particularly in the area of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for impulse control, planning, future orientation. Given that this is the last part of the brain to develop, it's not surprising that kids are more impulsive, don't think through their actions. And this is important cause in the research we've been doing, we've found that kids are much more responsive to rewards than they are to punishments. For instance, we've been following kids for the past seven years, these are serious offenders, these are offenders who've committed very heinous crimes. And a lot of people think that if you've committed a serious crime you must be a serious offender, and that life is over, this is a person that cannot be rehabilitated. And what we want to do is look at what predicts who stops offending, who desists from criminal activity. A lot of people look at the predictors of what gets kids into crime, very few people look at what gets kids out of crime. One of the things we know from our findings is that as kids mature the more likely they are to stop offending. The most exciting way that I have seen my research impact policy is having the supreme court take up the issue of the death penalty for juvenile offenders. It's hard to believe that the United States is one of the last countries to still execute their children. So my research not only impacted the abolishment of the juvenile death penalty, but it was also involved in the recent 2010 abolishment of life without the possibility of parole for non homicide cases for juvenile offenders and to know that my research had an impact on the policies of this country is very exciting.

Larry Halloran on HB2372 interview on KAKELarry Halloran on HB2372 interview on KAKE
What we DIDN't see... the good stuff hit the cutting room floor so they could EMPHASIZE "the color of one's skin" which is NO where to be found in the Bill. www.kslegislature.org/li/b2011_12/year1/measures/hb2372/ Larry's Testimony in Support of HB 2372 Testimony of Larry Halloran in support of HB 2372; Chairman Kinzer and Members of the House Judiciary Committee, We ask for your support of HB 2372; An Act concerning immigration; requiring verification of employment eligibility and making other amendments concerning immigration. The fundamental question today is not illegal immigration itself. If we are a nation of laws and are faithful to our obligations as citizens or legislators then we will rightfully conclude that the rule of law is the bedrock foundation of our society and passage of this legislation should require little debate. I would not dispute that employer and citizen alike have found the blind eye beneficial to their pocket book but financial gain, open borders or humanitarian compassion are not acceptable substitutes for the rule of law. Yesterdays benefit (however perceived) is today's liability as our citizens find themselves struggling to meet the increased burden of illegal immigration on our society that cannot be measured in financial terms alone. The blessings and benefits of America are bountiful. But, if they are to be preserved for our posterity and those seeking the benefit of citizenship they must be secured by principled adherence to our state and federal Constitutions. Illegal immigration is a festering cancer that damages both our society and those unlawfully seeking employment. It creates the necessity for a second society operating under the radar that inhibits the necessary assimilation of new immigrants into the America family. We are no longer concerned with a few thousand illegal immigrants that could be easily absorbed but rather tens of millions that now tax the limits of our social networks. It is past time for the half measured approaches, nod and wink policies and felonious excuses of citizen, employer and legislator alike related to the employment eligibility of illegal immigrants are put to rest. It is time that a lawful approach to employment eligibility verification becomes the rule for all employers and the accepted social norm for all citizens. Of even greater importance is that you, the citizen legislator, honor your oath of office and uphold the rule of law. Our Founders studied the laws and customs of many nations (both failed and existing) and took from them guidance for our Constitution that best protected a free people and society. For over 200 years, our Constitution has served as the legal binder for our citizens and those wishing to assimilate into a free society. Today, many seek to dilute the authority of our Constitution through substitution of unlawful privileges that in essence establish an equal but separate society within our borders. A society that stands in stark contrast and in opposition to the fundamental necessity of assimilation at the expense of individual liberties guaranteed to all by our Constitution. Such practices serve to disadvantage the citizens and legal immigrants that play by the rules and adhere to our laws by granting unearned favor to the illegal immigrant. Surely, we are all aware of the inequities, consequences and unquestionable failures of equal but separate jurisprudence practiced at times within our own society. To turn a blind eye or foster such practices is treasonous to our founding principles, documents and the faith of those who gave all to defend and preserve the greatest grant of freedom ever known to man; America. The challenges before us in preserving the free society and America are indeed great but do include a provision for national suicide. Tolerance does not beget equal but separate in a free society but instead requires assimilation through shared core values and equal application of the laws Thank you for your favorable support of HB 2372, your service and the defense of freedom for all.

40:11God Gives Us Up and our World is Turned Upside Down
God Gives Us Up and our World is Turned Upside DownGod Gives Us Up and our World is Turned Upside Down
Visit with seasoned saints and it doesn’t take long for someone to ask the question “what is wrong with this world?” Especially when the conversation turns to gay marriage, immorality of politicians or athletes or movie stars or teenagers or anyone for that matter. God has given us the answer to “what is wrong with this world?”. It is found in Romans 1:18-32. Basically the world is thinking upside down, and our attitude toward God is the determining factor! God has let us peek into the way He works when we react to Him the way we do. The bottom line is that our spiritual, emotional and mental health depend upon a right relationship to Him. Anything less will result in thinking and living that is “upside down” as far as God is concerned. FOUNDATION of WORTHWHILE LIVING “Listen, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Deuteronomy 6:4-6 (HCSB) Both God and the Jews consider this foundational truth for living a a life that is worthwhile. Jehovah God must be honored with all or our life, beginning with His place in our heart. Romans 1:18-23 paints the big picture of what happens when we do not properly honor God, fail to see Him at work in our lives (thank Him) and exalt ourselves over Him (vain thinking). Their foolish hearts become darkened and they become fools-’moraino’-worthless and good for nothing to God! The God we worship depends upon our heart, and what we hold dear in our heart. From our heart proceeds reverence or dishonor. That feeds our emotional soul and results in a thankful attitude. An irreverent heart results in resentment and bitterness in our emotional being. Our emotional soul feds our mind and either empowers us to set our minds upon God or upon ourselves. If we set our minds on ourselves we will worship a god of our own making. You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Isa 26:3 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” Matthew 16:23 Furthermore, if we chose to worship God in only one or even two of these areas of our life, wrong worship will be the result: If we honor God in our heart alone and neglect our emotions and thinking, we will love ANY god. If we honor God with our emotions yet withhold our heart and our mind, we will be emotional about EVERY god. If we set our mind on God without giving Him our heart and our emotions, we will make our OWN god. PARADIDOMAI AND EVIL SHADOWS Because men would not glorify God, would not make God part of their life by remembering to thank Him, and then ignored Him by becoming vain in their thinking, Creator God “gives them up” to the consequences of their unbelief – the control of sin. “Gave up” is paradidōmi: “to give into the hands of another, to give over into one’s power or use.” Since men chose to give up God and worship the creature, God issues not only a permissive sentence, but a judicial one, whereby men discover that failure to worship God and seek after him leads to enslavement to the most hideous things, things which they thought were worth worshipping. Remember the Movie “GHOST”? “Paradidomi” pictures a man being delivered to prison to be subject to the power and authority of a wicked warden. If you are a fan of “Ghost” picture the scene toward the end where the evil “shadow spirits” come and take Carl Bruner (the villain) away to eternal torment. We are all applauding to know such a horrible man finally gets what he deserves. Wuest points out that this “giving up” was first begun by man. “These people had already willfully deserted God who merely left them to their own self-determination and self-destruction, part of the price of man’s moral freedom.” The sad truth is that any man who rejects God as God, and fails to worship His Glory, is subject to the same fate. Not just “murderers” like the character Carl Bruner. God says that any man who fails to honor and worship Him in their heart is a worthless “MORON!” Actually the word is ‘moraino’, but the same meaning is implied. Most translations use the word “FOOL.” I COULD USE THE WORD “FOOL”, BUT I LIKE USING MORON. God wants us to have a vivid picture of what happens when we neglect Him or deliberately fail to Worship Him. He gives us Three Pictures of the Downward Descent of Mankind when they forget God and go their own way. The evil shadow spirits are allowed to dominate and control MORONS. Three times Romans 1 records that God “paradidomi” man. Three times God gives man up to the control of sin. Each time the consequences are frightening. The shocking image of the “evil shadows” of “Ghost” are nothing compared to the images we will paint this morning. Perhaps it is -
13:20What is unique about the 240-day war/aggresion against Libya
What is unique about the 240-day war/aggresion against LibyaWhat is unique about the 240-day war/aggresion against Libya
!> FIRST !> PROLOGUE ! Before you even start watching and/or reading this article, read this: The analysis of this “Unique 240-day of War Aggression Over Libya” - the genocide against the Libyan people is not completely correct! This is more like the text of Wikipedia on the so-called - "civil war" in Libya ... ...or a magazine article on geo-politics, that is - to paint a picture of political events... BUT - no human suffering and the scale of one of the most monstrous crimes of the 21st century, that any are missing or displayed in a few sentences, but as - indirect victims of any war! Here is what is missing and must be added (If there should be consistency): 1) Devil run between Britain and France (I think it was one year before the invasion of Libya) which is planned destabilization of Libya, Libyan and download Gaddafi and in extreme cases - a joint occupation! 2) There is no role of the World Jewish Mafia (and the involvement of parasite - Bernard Levy)! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=249304155086580 Who is Bernard Levy and what did he do in this so-called "revolution" is entirely omitted !? Not to be missed Zionist demon operating plan, nearly 30 years, invented by the Zionist criminal brain ... plan to change the map and the political situation in the Middle East and North Africa ! Typical in this plan of Satan is that the Middle East and North Africa should be broken into small, weak and puppet states in favor of - "Great Israel"! The means of achieving this goal is The Destabilization Of The Countries which was still not under the control of the Zionist mafia and was not allowed criminal financial ‘institutions’ and oil ‘corporations’ to plunder their country! Destabilization of these countries methods are mainly to be sparked religious, tribal and ethnic tensions to destabilize the government and break the country! To help benefit under false flag operations, terrorism, political assassinations ... all possible measures (characteristic of the criminal Zionist marrow) ! This is exactly the reason to use “the methods of the *Clash of Civilizations*” in the first days of events in Benghazi to be sparked as ethnic (mostly in Libya), tribal and political tensions! In Benghazi were muted television, radio and internet emanated propaganda and demonization, the main lie was that "Gaddafi's regime" has sent thousands of black African mercenaries + ‘Viagra’ will kill and rape ... because many blacks liked Gaddafi! That was enough crowd to start lynching of blacks by this - is not accidental, but planned major destabilization tactics! We must never forget the role of criminal organizations and fake "human rights" (associated with Soros) who preached hysteria against blacks, all documented and broadcast in the criminal Zionist media ! //*NOTE: "Why Is Gaddafi Being Demonized ?" https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=125708630838908 // 3) In this analysis, paying too little attention to the "mysterious" snipers in Benghazi, are mercenaries and special forces of Britain and France (all is explained very briefly in two sentences?)! Right here should be paid much more attention! This is an old tactic of terrorist destabilization in which specially trained mercenary terrorists and special forces working for Western intelligence agencies began a coordinated and deliberate terror - killings of civilians (including women and children)! In these operations under a "false flag" is specific - especially direct (kill) people whose death can cause the most stress and dissatisfaction with the angry crowd, which caused a chain reaction in people who turn to turn people against Government aid in pouring oil on the fire using agitators and hysteria among the crowd + of criminal corporate media, politicians, fake "activist" organizations and fake "human rights"! At the beginning of operations under false flag held in Benghazi is clearly demonstrated and documented the presence of special forces of France and Britain which signals have begun to attack the barracks and police stations and carrying out assassinations of policemen and soldiers (some of it may act war? But the truth is - pure Terrorism and crime against peace and humanity)! Along with attacks on barracks and police stations are carried out and murder of civilians (including women and children) and of course - assassinations of political leaders and supporters of the legitimate Libyan government, the criminal corporate media teach these perversions as - "mode" Gaddafi kills "peaceful protesters" and "peaceful protesters" are infuriated and "self" begins to kill - "loyal to the regime" (ie police and soldiers) and then goes to take revenge on supporters and political leaders Gaddafi .. . who "was responsible" for the "massacre"! Yet the killings of civilians, killing policemen and soldiers (attack the barracks and police stations), the killings of supporters, intellectuals and political leade

Death Penalty Information Center: An Overview
Hello, my name is Richard Dieter & I'm the Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center, or DPIC. For over twenty years, DPIC has helped to change fundamentally the American discourse on capital punishment, moving it away from emotionally charged rhetoric and toward a well-informed, fact-based discussion. We have pursued this goal through a strategy of professional communications and educational outreach to the public. In collaboration with other organizations, we have seen a sharp reversal in the course of the death penalty over the past decade. The country has moved from an era of increasing executions and state expansion to one of clear decline by every measure. We have developed strong relationships with journalists, editors, and producers, across the country and inte...

The 2% Death Penalty: How a Minority of Counties Produce Most Death Cases
Is the United States a death penalty country? With death penalty laws on the books in 32 states, it might appear so, but a new report from the Death Penalty Information Center shows the reality is that just 2% of counties account for the majority of death row inmates and executions in the modern era of the death penalty. 80% of American counties have no inmates on death row, and 85% have not had a case result in an execution. Although death penalty cases come from a small number of counties, all state taxpayers share the high cost of pursuing the death penalty, and the costs of review by federal courts are drawn from taxpayers across the country. One of the most thorough studies of death penalty expenses estimated the total cost of one death sentence at $3 million. Since the reinstate...

With the US continuing to execute prisoners, Fault Lines presenter Josh Rushing looks at the politics driving capital punishment in the US. Eighty per cent of the executions the US carries out occur in a handful of states in the South - where it is popular for politicians to run "tough on crime" campaigns. Fault Lines travels to Oklahoma -- which executes more prisoners per capita than any other state in the country. Josh Rushing gained rare access to Oklahoma's death row and the prisoners there. But across the US, there is a slow, but significant shift in America's attitude towards the death penalty. DNA testing and, in some states, a willingness by judges and prosecutors to revisit old capital cases have led to many well-publicised exonerations of death row inmates. Since 1973 over...

Transforming Troubled Teens
Professor at University of California Irvine, Elizabeth Cauffman, describes the focus of her research into what gets kids out of crime. Her research has not only delved into this subject but has also impacted legislation dealing with the death penalty and life without parole of juvenile defenders. http://www.DocuInc.com Elizabeth Cauffman, Ph.D. Professor - Department of Psychology and Social Behavior - Department of Education My name is Elizabeth Cauffman I'm in the psychology and social behavior department in the school of social ecology.

God Gives Us Up and our World is Turned Upside Down
Visit with seasoned saints and it doesn’t take long for someone to ask the question “what is wrong with this world?” Especially when the conversation turns to gay marriage, immorality of politicians or athletes or movie stars or teenagers or anyone for that matter. God has given us the answer to “what is wrong with this world?”. It is found in Romans 1:18-32. Basically the world is thinking upside down, and our attitude toward God is the determining factor! God has let us peek into the way He works when we react to Him the way we do. The bottom line is that our spiritual, emotional and mental health depend upon a right relationship to Him. Anything less will result in thinking and living that is “upside down” as far as God is concerned. FOUNDATION of WORTHWHILE LIVING “Listen, Israel: Yahw...

What is unique about the 240-day war/aggresion against Libya
!> FIRST !> PROLOGUE ! Before you even start watching and/or reading this article, read this: The analysis of this “Unique 240-day of War Aggression Over Libya” - the genocide against the Libyan people is not completely correct! This is more like the text of Wikipedia on the so-called - "civil war" in Libya ... ...or a magazine article on geo-politics, that is - to paint a picture of political events... BUT - no human suffering and the scale of one of the most monstrous crimes of the 21st century, that any are missing or displayed in a few sentences, but as - indirect victims of any war! Here is what is missing and must be added (If there should be consistency): 1) Devil run between Britain and France (I think it was one year before the invasion of Libya) which is planned destabil...

World Without Hate
Hate crime victim Rais Bhuiyan calls for the death row pardon of his attacker Mark Stroman. This was the first known hate crime targeting muslims as a retaliation for the World Trade Center disaster on September 11, 2001. Mr Stroman is scheduled to be executed in Texas on July 20th, 2011. Hate only brings fear, misery, resentment and disaster into human lives. It creates obstacles to healthy human growth, which in turn, diminishes society as a whole. In order to live in a better and peaceful world, we need to break the cycle of hate and violence. Mr Bhuiyan is working to educate those who may be as ignorant as Mark Stroman and raise a consciousness among people that hating others can never bring lasting peace and satisfaction. For more information, and to stop the cycle of violence,...

Tradition vs Truth
Hearing of the increasing impact of Jesus' ministry, the religious leaders in Jerusalem decided to send an informal emissary to Galilee. The Pharisees and scribes were two of several different categories of Judaism in the first century. Choosing a visible, but relatively minor issue from their oral tradition, the Pharisees question Jesus about hand-washing (v 2). Jesus, employing the exact same phrase, rebut them with a superior question, "Why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition" (v 3)? In verses 4-6 Jesus chooses the fifth of the Ten Commandments (Ex 20:12) to point out their hypocrisy. Though the penalty could not be higher, these leaders had little regard for the welfare of their parent. Instead they employed a religious form of money laundering, by dedica...

Ignoring Supreme Court Ruling, Texas Prepares to Execute Mentally Retarded Prisoner
DemocracyNow.org - Texas is preparing to kill death row prisoner Marvin Wilson tonight despite a 2002 Supreme Court ruling against the execution of the mentally retarded. Wilson was convicted of murdering Jerry Williams during a 1992 fight. His IQ is just 61, far below the cutoff of 70 that proves he is mentally impaired and therefore ineligible for the death penalty. But Texas argues the IQ test was improperly administered and federal appeals courts have declined to overturn the state's decision. We're joined by attorney Lee Kovarsky, who has spent the past six years working on Wilson's appeals, largely pro-bono; and by Richard Dieter, Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center, a nonprofit group that works to educate the public about capital punishment. To watch the comp...

Hello, my name is Richard Dieter & I'm the Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center, or DPIC.
For over twenty years, DPIC has helped to change fundamentally the American discourse on capital punishment, moving it away from emotionally charged rhetoric and toward a well-informed, fact-based discussion. We have pursued this goal through a strategy of professional communications and educational outreach to the public. In collaboration with other organizations, we have seen a sharp reversal in the course of the death penalty over the past decade. The country has moved from an era of increasing executions and state expansion to one of clear decline by every measure.
We have developed strong relationships with journalists, editors, and producers, across the country and internationally. They trust the accuracy of DPIC's information and insights. People everywhere rely on DPIC as a valuable resource. With the powerful tool of information that DPIC makes available, opinion leaders and decision-makers have been able to bring about considerable change on this issue.
DPIC provides a wide range of tools and resources to educate the public about the death penalty system. Our website, deathpenaltyinfo.org, has often had over 1 million hits in a day. The number of "unique visitors" exceeds that of many national organizations with broad agendas. The site is continually updated and expanded, and includes such valuable resources as searchable databases, videos, podcasts, fact sheets, and referrals to other organizations. The site is often linked to by national media websites and referred to in court opinions, legislative materials, books, and by people who work on this issue.
We believe that a well-informed, balanced discussion on the death penalty is essential to address the problems of this system. To that end, DPIC has published more than 20 reports on various issues related to the death penalty, including reports focused on innocence, costs, race, and the quality of legal representation. These reports exposed glaring flaws in the country's death penalty system, and hence, raised awareness of the need for change. We hope that you will join us in addressing this critical issue.

Is the United States a death penalty country?
With death penalty laws on the books in 32 states, it might appear so, but a new report from the Death Penalty Information Center shows the reality is that just 2% of counties account for the majority of death row inmates and executions in the modern era of the death penalty.
80% of American counties have no inmates on death row, and 85% have not had a case result in an execution.
Although death penalty cases come from a small number of counties, all state taxpayers share the high cost of pursuing the death penalty, and the costs of review by federal courts are drawn from taxpayers across the country.
One of the most thorough studies of death penalty expenses estimated the total cost of one death sentence at $3 million. Since the reinstatement of the death penalty, there have been over 8,300 death sentences in the U.S. The estimated total cost of these cases is a staggering $25 billion. These costs largely fall on taxpayers outside the counties that have sought the death penalty.
If this cost is divided by the number of executions during that time, the result is almost $20 million per execution. Instead of one execution, states could pay the salaries of over 250 more police officers or teachers for a year at $75,000 each.
In those relatively few counties that heavily use the death penalty, the legal system is often fraught with errors.
Philadelphia County is responsible for nearly half of Pennsylvania's death row inmates, yet it has paid court-appointed lawyers the lowest fees in the state, frequently has death sentences reversed because of inadequate defense representation, and has a record of racial bias in handing down death sentences.
Maricopa County, AZ ranks fourth in the country in the number of death row inmates and has sent many inmates to execution. Former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas used the death penalty so aggressively that at one point the county overwhelmed the courts with 149 pending capital cases. In 2012, Thomas was unanimously disbarred by the Arizona Supreme Court for corruption and abuse of power.
And the systemic problems in Philadelphia and Maricopa represent a larger trend. A 2000 study found that counties that used the death penalty more often had significantly higher reversal rates than counties that used the death penalty infrequently, meaning that their death sentences are more likely to be overturned due to errors.
The vast majority of counties in the U.S. have no one on death row and have not had a case resulting in an execution in over 45 years. In the last 6 years, 6 states have ended the death penalty, and a growing number of District Attorneys are finding that seeking the death penalty no longer makes sense. For the majority of counties in the U.S., the death penalty is already irrelevant.

A condemned murderer took nearly two hours to die and gasped for about 90 minutes during an execution in Arizona on Wednesday that quickly rekindled the national debate on capital punishment in the US.
"This is a turning point," Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, told the AP in an interview on Thursday.
"The death penalty doesn't always break through to the national consciousness on each execution. But now it has three times in a row in a few months and there's been other stories, so we're at a tipping point, we'll see what happens, but clearly some change is in the offing," he said.
The execution of 55-year-old Joseph Rudolph Wood took so long that his lawyers had time to file an emergency appeal while it was ongoing.
The Arizona Supreme Court calling an impromptu hearing on the matter, but Wood died during the discussions.
It is the third prolonged execution this year in the U.S., including one in Ohio in which an inmate gasped in similar fashion for nearly half-an-hour.
An Oklahoma inmate died of a heart attack in April, minutes after prison officials halted his execution because the drugs weren't being administered properly.

A condemned murderer took nearly two hours to die and gasped for about 90 minutes during an execution in Arizona that quickly rekindled the national debate on capital punishment in the U.S.

The Death Penalty in 2013: Year End Review

Public support for the death penalty is at its lowest level in 40 years, and that lack of support is reflected in the use of the death penalty across the country. The 2013 Year End Report, issued on December 19th by the Death Penalty Information Center shows that by almost every measure, the death penalty declined in the United States in 2013.
The number of death sentences imposed remained near the record low. Many prominent death penalty states, such as South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana, had no new sentences this year.
For only the second time in 19 years, there were fewer than 40 executions. That is less than half the number carried out in 1999, when the number of executions peaked in the modern era. Only nine states carried out executions. The majority came from just two states: Texas and Florida.
Maryland abolished the death penalty this year, becoming the 6th state in 6 years to do so. This brings the total number of states without the death penalty to 18.
Mistakes continued to plague the death penalty. In October, Reginald Griffin of Missouri became the 143rd person exonerated from death row. At the time of his trial, prosecutors withheld critical evidence about another suspect. Griffin spent 30 years in prison, mostly on death row.
Concerns over innocence, unfairness, and other issues have caused leaders from across the political spectrum to voice concerns about the death penalty. Mary Kate Cary, a conservative commentator and former speechwriter for George H.W. Bush, joined a growing number of conservatives questioning capital punishment when she said, "Times have changed, and it's time for conservatives to get on the right side of the death penalty argument. One can oppose the death penalty and still be in favor of a tough, affordable, accurate and fair criminal justice system."
The history of the death penalty shows that its problems are not easily fixed, and new ones are almost certain to arise. It is likely that the declining use of the death penalty will continue as more state legislatures consider repealing what has become a very expensive and unpredictable punishment.

Public support for the death penalty is at its lowest level in 40 years, and that lack of support is reflected in the use of the death penalty across the country. The 2013 Year End Report, issued on December 19th by the Death Penalty Information Center shows that by almost every measure, the death penalty declined in the United States in 2013.

With the US continuing to execute prisoners, Fault Lines presenter Josh Rushing looks at the politics driving capital punishment in the US.
Eighty per cent of the executions the US carries out occur in a handful of states in the South - where it is popular for politicians to run "tough on crime" campaigns.
Fault Lines travels to Oklahoma -- which executes more prisoners per capita than any other state in the country. Josh Rushing gained rare access to Oklahoma's death row and the prisoners there.
But across the US, there is a slow, but significant shift in America's attitude towards the death penalty.
DNA testing and, in some states, a willingness by judges and prosecutors to revisit old capital cases have led to many well-publicised exonerations of death row inmates.
Since 1973 over 130 innocent people have been released from death row after establishing their innocence. The possibility of getting it wrong may have made juries nervous to hand out the death penalty ... preferring life without parole.
And while the US is still very much pro-death for capital offences, that support has dropped to 65 per cent in 2006, down from 80 per cent in 1994.
People and organizations featured in this film include: Edith Shoals, Michael Selsor, Carol Anderson, Frank Keating, Richard Dieter, Jim Fowler, Constance Johnson, Greg Whilhoit, Commissioner Justin Jones, Oklahoma State Penitentiary, Death Penalty Information Center, Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

Professor at University of California Irvine, Elizabeth Cauffman, describes the focus of her research into what gets kids out of crime. Her research has not only delved into this subject but has also impacted legislation dealing with the death penalty and life without parole of juvenile defenders.

Elizabeth Cauffman, Ph.D. Professor - Department of Psychology and Social Behavior - Department of Education
My name is Elizabeth Cauffman I'm in the psychology and social behavior department in the school of social ecology.
The main focus of my research is on adolescent development and how kids change and how they develop over time and that really informs or provides the court with a foundation for better understanding of how to treat kids within the system. So a lot of my work is on when should kids be tried as adults, are they competent to stand trial, what are the right responses the justice system should have to kids during this developmental time period. So a lot of my research centers on if adolescents are so smart, why do they do such stupid things. A lot of kids end up making very immature decisions and better trying to understand what that disconnect is, so recent advances in neuroscience have shown that the brain is continuing to develop up until the age of 25 and that is particularly in the area of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for impulse control, planning, future orientation. Given that this is the last part of the brain to develop, it's not surprising that kids are more impulsive, don't think through their actions. And this is important cause in the research we've been doing, we've found that kids are much more responsive to rewards than they are to punishments. For instance, we've been following kids for the past seven years, these are serious offenders, these are offenders who've committed very heinous crimes. And a lot of people think that if you've committed a serious crime you must be a serious offender, and that life is over, this is a person that cannot be rehabilitated. And what we want to do is look at what predicts who stops offending, who desists from criminal activity. A lot of people look at the predictors of what gets kids into crime, very few people look at what gets kids out of crime. One of the things we know from our findings is that as kids mature the more likely they are to stop offending.
The most exciting way that I have seen my research impact policy is having the supreme court take up the issue of the death penalty for juvenile offenders. It's hard to believe that the United States is one of the last countries to still execute their children. So my research not only impacted the abolishment of the juvenile death penalty, but it was also involved in the recent 2010 abolishment of life without the possibility of parole for non homicide cases for juvenile offenders and to know that my research had an impact on the policies of this country is very exciting.

Larry's Testimony in Support of HB 2372
Testimony of Larry Halloran in support of HB 2372;
Chairman Kinzer and Members of the House Judiciary Committee,
We ask for your support of HB 2372; An Act concerning immigration; requiring verification of employment eligibility and making other amendments concerning immigration.
The fundamental question today is not illegal immigration itself. If we are a nation of laws and are faithful to our obligations as citizens or legislators then we will rightfully conclude that the rule of law is the bedrock foundation of our society and passage of this legislation should require little debate.
I would not dispute that employer and citizen alike have found the blind eye beneficial to their pocket book but financial gain, open borders or humanitarian compassion are not acceptable substitutes for the rule of law. Yesterdays benefit (however perceived) is today's liability as our citizens find themselves struggling to meet the increased burden of illegal immigration on our society that cannot be measured in financial terms alone.
The blessings and benefits of America are bountiful. But, if they are to be preserved for our posterity and those seeking the benefit of citizenship they must be secured by principled adherence to our state and federal Constitutions.
Illegal immigration is a festering cancer that damages both our society and those unlawfully seeking employment. It creates the necessity for a second society operating under the radar that inhibits the necessary assimilation of new immigrants into the America family. We are no longer concerned with a few thousand illegal immigrants that could be easily absorbed but rather tens of millions that now tax the limits of our social networks. It is past time for the half measured approaches, nod and wink policies and felonious excuses of citizen, employer and legislator alike related to the employment eligibility of illegal immigrants are put to rest. It is time that a lawful approach to employment eligibility verification becomes the rule for all employers and the accepted social norm for all citizens. Of even greater importance is that you, the citizen legislator, honor your oath of office and uphold the rule of law.
Our Founders studied the laws and customs of many nations (both failed and existing) and took from them guidance for our Constitution that best protected a free people and society. For over 200 years, our Constitution has served as the legal binder for our citizens and those wishing to assimilate into a free society. Today, many seek to dilute the authority of our Constitution through substitution of unlawful privileges that in essence establish an equal but separate society within our borders. A society that stands in stark contrast and in opposition to the fundamental necessity of assimilation at the expense of individual liberties guaranteed to all by our Constitution. Such practices serve to disadvantage the citizens and legal immigrants that play by the rules and adhere to our laws by granting unearned favor to the illegal immigrant.
Surely, we are all aware of the inequities, consequences and unquestionable failures of equal but separate jurisprudence practiced at times within our own society. To turn a blind eye or foster such practices is treasonous to our founding principles, documents and the faith of those who gave all to defend and preserve the greatest grant of freedom ever known to man; America.
The challenges before us in preserving the free society and America are indeed great but do include a provision for national suicide. Tolerance does not beget equal but separate in a free society but instead requires assimilation through shared core values and equal application of the laws
Thank you for your favorable support of HB 2372, your service and the defense of freedom for all.

God Gives Us Up and our World is Turned Upside Down

Visit with seasoned saints and it doesn’t take long for someone to ask the question “what is wrong with this world?” Especially when the conversation turns to gay marriage, immorality of politicians or athletes or movie stars or teenagers or anyone for that matter. God has given us the answer to “what is wrong with this world?”. It is found in Romans 1:18-32. Basically the world is thinking upside down, and our attitude toward God is the determining factor! God has let us peek into the way He works when we react to Him the way we do. The bottom line is that our spiritual, emotional and mental health depend upon a right relationship to Him. Anything less will result in thinking and living that is “upside down” as far as God is concerned.
FOUNDATION of WORTHWHILE LIVING
“Listen, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Deuteronomy 6:4-6 (HCSB)
Both God and the Jews consider this foundational truth for living a a life that is worthwhile. Jehovah God must be honored with all or our life, beginning with His place in our heart. Romans 1:18-23 paints the big picture of what happens when we do not properly honor God, fail to see Him at work in our lives (thank Him) and exalt ourselves over Him (vain thinking). Their foolish hearts become darkened and they become fools-’moraino’-worthless and good for nothing to God!
The God we worship depends upon our heart, and what we hold dear in our heart. From our heart proceeds reverence or dishonor. That feeds our emotional soul and results in a thankful attitude. An irreverent heart results in resentment and bitterness in our emotional being. Our emotional soul feds our mind and either empowers us to set our minds upon God or upon ourselves. If we set our minds on ourselves we will worship a god of our own making.
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Isa 26:3
But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” Matthew 16:23
Furthermore, if we chose to worship God in only one or even two of these areas of our life, wrong worship will be the result:
If we honor God in our heart alone and neglect our emotions and thinking, we will love ANY god.
If we honor God with our emotions yet withhold our heart and our mind, we will be emotional about EVERY god.
If we set our mind on God without giving Him our heart and our emotions, we will make our OWN god.
PARADIDOMAI AND EVIL SHADOWS
Because men would not glorify God, would not make God part of their life by remembering to thank Him, and then ignored Him by becoming vain in their thinking, Creator God “gives them up” to the consequences of their unbelief – the control of sin.
“Gave up” is paradidōmi: “to give into the hands of another, to give over into one’s power or use.” Since men chose to give up God and worship the creature, God issues not only a permissive sentence, but a judicial one, whereby men discover that failure to worship God and seek after him leads to enslavement to the most hideous things, things which they thought were worth worshipping.
Remember the Movie “GHOST”?
“Paradidomi” pictures a man being delivered to prison to be subject to the power and authority of a wicked warden. If you are a fan of “Ghost” picture the scene toward the end where the evil “shadow spirits” come and take Carl Bruner (the villain) away to eternal torment. We are all applauding to know such a horrible man finally gets what he deserves.
Wuest points out that this “giving up” was first begun by man. “These people had already willfully deserted God who merely left them to their own self-determination and self-destruction, part of the price of man’s moral freedom.”
The sad truth is that any man who rejects God as God, and fails to worship His Glory, is subject to the same fate. Not just “murderers” like the character Carl Bruner. God says that any man who fails to honor and worship Him in their heart is a worthless “MORON!” Actually the word is ‘moraino’, but the same meaning is implied. Most translations use the word “FOOL.”
I COULD USE THE WORD “FOOL”, BUT I LIKE USING MORON.
God wants us to have a vivid picture of what happens when we neglect Him or deliberately fail to Worship Him. He gives us Three Pictures of the Downward Descent of Mankind when they forget God and go their own way. The evil shadow spirits are allowed to dominate and control MORONS.
Three times Romans 1 records that God “paradidomi” man. Three times God gives man up to the control of sin. Each time the consequences are frightening. The shocking image of the “evil shadows” of “Ghost” are nothing compared to the images we will paint this morning.

!> FIRST !> PROLOGUE !
Before you even start watching and/or reading this article, read this:
The analysis of this “Unique 240-day of War Aggression Over Libya” - the genocide against the Libyan people is not completely correct!
This is more like the text of Wikipedia on the so-called - "civil war" in Libya ...
...or a magazine article on geo-politics, that is - to paint a picture of political events...
BUT - no human suffering and the scale of one of the most monstrous crimes of the 21st century, that any are missing or displayed in a few sentences, but as - indirect victims of any war!
Here is what is missing and must be added (If there should be consistency):
1) Devil run between Britain and France (I think it was one year before the invasion of Libya) which is planned destabilization of Libya, Libyan and download Gaddafi and in extreme cases - a joint occupation!
2) There is no role of the World Jewish Mafia (and the involvement of parasite - Bernard Levy)!
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=249304155086580
Who is Bernard Levy and what did he do in this so-called "revolution" is entirely omitted !?
Not to be missed Zionist demon operating plan, nearly 30 years, invented by the Zionist criminal brain ... plan to change the map and the political situation in the Middle East and North Africa !
Typical in this plan of Satan is that the Middle East and North Africa should be broken into small, weak and puppet states in favor of - "Great Israel"!
The means of achieving this goal is The Destabilization Of The Countries which was still not under the control of the Zionist mafia and was not allowed criminal financial ‘institutions’ and oil ‘corporations’ to plunder their country!
Destabilization of these countries methods are mainly to be sparked religious, tribal and ethnic tensions to destabilize the government and break the country!
To help benefit under false flag operations, terrorism, political assassinations ... all possible measures (characteristic of the criminal Zionist marrow) !
This is exactly the reason to use “the methods of the *Clash of Civilizations*” in the first days of events in Benghazi to be sparked as ethnic (mostly in Libya), tribal and political tensions!
In Benghazi were muted television, radio and internet emanated propaganda and demonization, the main lie was that "Gaddafi's regime" has sent thousands of black African mercenaries + ‘Viagra’ will kill and rape ... because many blacks liked Gaddafi!
That was enough crowd to start lynching of blacks by this - is not accidental, but planned major destabilization tactics!
We must never forget the role of criminal organizations and fake "human rights" (associated with Soros) who preached hysteria against blacks, all documented and broadcast in the criminal Zionist media !
//*NOTE: "Why Is Gaddafi Being Demonized ?" https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=125708630838908 //
3) In this analysis, paying too little attention to the "mysterious" snipers in Benghazi, are mercenaries and special forces of Britain and France (all is explained very briefly in two sentences?)!
Right here should be paid much more attention!
This is an old tactic of terrorist destabilization in which specially trained mercenary terrorists and special forces working for Western intelligence agencies began a coordinated and deliberate terror - killings of civilians (including women and children)!
In these operations under a "false flag" is specific - especially direct (kill) people whose death can cause the most stress and dissatisfaction with the angry crowd, which caused a chain reaction in people who turn to turn people against Government aid in pouring oil on the fire using agitators and hysteria among the crowd + of criminal corporate media, politicians, fake "activist" organizations and fake "human rights"!
At the beginning of operations under false flag held in Benghazi is clearly demonstrated and documented the presence of special forces of France and Britain which signals have begun to attack the barracks and police stations and carrying out assassinations of policemen and soldiers (some of it may act war?
But the truth is - pure Terrorism and crime against peace and humanity)!
Along with attacks on barracks and police stations are carried out and murder of civilians (including women and children) and of course - assassinations of political leaders and supporters of the legitimate Libyan government, the criminal corporate media teach these perversions as - "mode" Gaddafi kills "peaceful protesters" and "peaceful protesters" are infuriated and "self" begins to kill - "loyal to the regime" (ie police and soldiers) and then goes to take revenge on supporters and political leaders Gaddafi .. . who "was responsible" for the "massacre"!
Yet the killings of civilians, killing policemen and soldiers (attack the barracks and police stations), the killings of supporters, intellectuals and political leade

The full text of the press conference held by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday August 9th, 2010 at Shahed Hall – Airport Highway
In the Name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, The Lord of the world. Peace be on the Seal of prophets - our Master and Prophet Abi Al Qassem Mohammad - and on his chaste and pure Household, chosen companions and all prophets and messengers.
Brothers and sisters! Ladies and gentlemen! Peace be upon you all and Allah's mercy and blessing.
First, I have promised to hold a press conference in which I present indications and data that open new horizons which help in accusing the Israeli enemy of assassinating martyr Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. This is exactly what I promised of, and I will fulfill my promise tonight Inshallah.
Also since I made my announcement to this effect, comments from one party were issued: Why now? Why not years before? Why did you hide this data? Why are you unveiling it now and talking about it?
Apart from the means, background and technique in which this issue was evoked – as we will talk seriously because we do not want to get engaged with each other – I will leave answering this question to the end of the press conference because the data which I will present will help, taking its nature and timing into consideration. That will help very much in answering this question.
Indeed I must welcome all of you and thank you for this important and great attendance. It goes without saying that the event, the topic, the cause, the stage and the challenge necessitated on you this level of responsibility – and you are competent for this responsibility. Welcome then. I also thank all the media outlets that will show interest in what I will say and broadcast it live on air.
As usual, there are several topics:
I will try to be as quick as possible. I will talk also in classical Arabic to generalize the benefit abroad. I will be as quick as possible to make full use of time though the case deserves considerable time from all of us.
The first topic: Israel's accusation of Hezbollah. This is an indispensable prelude. The Israeli enemy had been working on this since the very beginning and especially after the event of September 13th, 1993. All of us – all the Lebanese – know that on that very day Oslo Accord was inked. Hezbollah organized a protest in the southern suburb (Dahiyeh); it was opposed by the Lebanese government which was then under Premier Hariri. Fire was opened on the demonstrators; ten martyrs fell and more than 50 were wounded. At the time, a kind of political tension and conflict took place between Hezbollah and the first government of Premier Hariri and with Premier Rafiq Hariri in person. This is well known.
The Israelis intruded through one of their agent at the time who contacted one of the security internals in the party of Premier Hariri. He worked at convincing him that Hezbollah is plotting to assassinate him and is now in the execution stage. He particularly accused brethren martyr Imad Mughniyeh and others of what he claimed and the data he gave.
To comprehend the issue, I would like to present it in my way: Months after the event of September 13th, 1993, Syrian Intelligence and pursuant to a command by General Ghazi Kanaan, arrested one of the Islamic Resistance cadres in Sidon – namely brethren fighter Hajj Ali Deeb who is known as Abu Hassan Salameh and who was later killed by the Israelis. When you listen to the collaborator talking about Abu Hassan Salameh, he would be meaning brethren Ali Deeb. Brethren Ali Deeb was arrested in ambiguous unknown conditions. Days later, I knew that brethren Abu Hassan Salameh is in Anjjar. So I went to meet General Ghazi Kanaan, and I called on him to set free the brethren. He told me that he sent him that morning to Damascus and that the issue is in Damascus by now. I blamed him saying: What is the story? Has you summoned him from me for interrogation, you know that we would have responded. You know we respond in such issues especially if the case is sensitive.
General Ghazi told me: (Indeed let no one say I am referring to deceased persons because the document exists and will be presented in a while) Some days ago, Premier Rafiq Hariri paid me a visit and told me: I have some data; there is a very close person to Hajj Imad Mughniyeh. He is either a politburo or one of the very close bodyguards to Hajj Imad. He attended a session (this reminds me of Zuheir Essedeeq) with Hajj Imad Mughniyeh and Abu Hassan Salameh among others whom he did not know by name. In the session, they plotted to assassinate you. The assassination will take place through ambushes which will be set for you in this road and on that road. He gave him some details. General Ghazi carries on saying: We can't remain silent on that because this is an assassination operation which is being set for the Premier. We can't contact Imad Mughniyeh but we ca

Hate crime victim Rais Bhuiyan calls for the death row pardon of his attacker Mark Stroman. This was the first known hate crime targeting muslims as a retaliation for the World Trade Center disaster on September 11, 2001. Mr Stroman is scheduled to be executed in Texas on July 20th, 2011.
Hate only brings fear, misery, resentment and disaster into human lives. It creates obstacles to healthy human growth, which in turn, diminishes society as a whole.
In order to live in a better and peaceful world, we need to break the cycle of hate and violence. Mr Bhuiyan is working to educate those who may be as ignorant as Mark Stroman and raise a consciousness among people that hating others can never bring lasting peace and satisfaction.
For more information, and to stop the cycle of violence, please sign the petition requesting that Mark Stroman’s death penalty be commuted to life in prison with no parole at www.worldwithouthate.org

Hearing of the increasing impact of Jesus' ministry, the religious leaders in Jerusalem decided to send an informal emissary to Galilee. The Pharisees and scribes were two of several different categories of Judaism in the first century. Choosing a visible, but relatively minor issue from their oral tradition, the Pharisees question Jesus about hand-washing (v 2). Jesus, employing the exact same phrase, rebut them with a superior question, "Why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition" (v 3)? In verses 4-6 Jesus chooses the fifth of the Ten Commandments (Ex 20:12) to point out their hypocrisy. Though the penalty could not be higher, these leaders had little regard for the welfare of their parent. Instead they employed a religious form of money laundering, by dedicating what might have helped their parents to the Temple. Unable to touch the dedicated property because of their vow (corban), they would wait until the death of their parents and then reclaim it. For the sake of their tradition-which most often was put in place to satisfy their greed-they had voided the truth of God's words and thereby incurred the title, "hypocrites" (lit. one who wears a mask or an actor, the word has been transliterated instead of translated from Greek = hupokritai). Jesus' indictment is reminiscent of God's judgment on Judah during their rebellion and subsequent punishment at the hand of Babylon found in Isaiah 29 (vv 8,9).
Seizing the teaching moment, Jesus explains the straightforward principle at hand. It is not what goes into a person that defiles them (destroys their integrity), but what comes out (see Eph 4:29; Js 3:6; vv 10,11). Quickly interrupting the flow of the lesson, His disciples warned Jesus that He was "offending" (fr. skandalizo, later scandal) His opponents (v 12). Thinking back to the wheat and the tares, Jesus reminds His disciples of God's sovereign control (v 13). Besides, they are nothing more than the "blind leading the blind" (v 14).
Apparently frustrated by Peter's lack of understanding (perhaps acting too much like the Pharisees, "also" v 15, 16), Jesus provides an explanation. Things that are eaten end up in the latrine (v 17), but words and attitudes come from the center of one's being, the heart ( kardia) to bless or to curse Js 3:9, 10. Bringing the discussion full circle, Jesus returns to the priority of the commandments of God above the traditions of men by listing at least four more of the Ten Commandments (murder, adultery, stealing, and lying; v 19). Lest the life principle be lost in the details of the object lesson, Jesus returns to the original accusation by stressing these offenses defile a person because they demonstrate their true nature, but to eat with unwashed hands does not (v 20).
In the fight for truth where did these religious people go wrong and what will keep us from doing the same thing?
1. They took fatal steps concerning the Word of God.
A. They Forgot the Word of God.
B. They Added to the Word of God.
C. They Fabricated a new Word of God.
2. They replaced a heart for God for the works of men.
A. The home of the Word is the Heart Isa. 51:1-8; Ps. 119:11
B. God will be found when we search with our whole Heart Jer. 29:13
C. A man is not justified with works but with his Heart

A. Hasidim = Pious Ones, those who were loyal to the covenant and rejected Hellenization during the reign of Antiochus IV. The group is mentioned in 1 Macc. 2:42; 7:14 and 2 Maac. 14:6. These were leading men of Israel who joined the Maccabean Revolt.
B. Pharisees = Separated Ones
1. There name first appears during the time of Hyracanus I (134-105 BC)
2. There name probably refers to the zeal for the Law
3. The held to the doctrine of foreordination
4. The believed in the immortality of the soul and the resurrection of the body
5. The had a highly developed view of angels and demons
6. They maintained the authority of the Hebrew Scriptures as well as the oral tradition
7. Pharisaism is the final result OT that conception of religion which makes religion exist in conformity to the Law. (they were not all hypocrites)
C. Saducees = Origin of name uncertain, probably from the priestly lineage of Zaddok
1. Began during the same period as Pharisees
2. The denied that history was controlled, insisting that the individual was free to direct his own life and thereby his own history
3. They rejected the doctrine of two kingdoms (angels etc.)
4. They only accepted the Pentateuch (not the oral law)
5. The Saducees were much more prone to Hellenization
6. They were a small group of aristocratic land owners in NT times
7. They were theologically conservative and politically liberal
D. Essenes = Not mentioned in the NT
1. A small group of 4,000 recorded in Pliny, Philo, and Josephus
2. They lived a simple ascetic life ( the more strict ones were celibate)

Cheey. The BFARMC Chairman, Clemente Abaño, reported a dugong death in their local community due to entanglement in the ropes of a seaweed farm.
Two young men, Samson Ayso and Edwin Gadiano, Jr., had gone out fishing earlier that day and at 7:00 AM had passed by the plantation located just in front of the coastline of Sitio Minit, Brgy. Cheey. As they passed by the seaweed plantation, they saw that a dugong had been entangled in one of the lines. They reported the incident to Mr. Abaño, who then called up the C3 Philippines Field Office.
C3 Programme Officer Danica Lopez and Programme Assistant Archie Espinosa quickly mobilized in order to get to Brgy. Cheey to secure data and to ensure that the community would not eat the dugong’s meat. The team arrived in Brgy. Cheey at 11:20 AM and met with Mr. Abaño and Brgy. Capt. Montañez about the incident. At this point, the dugong had not yet been disentangled from the ropes, and so the team together with Mr. Abaño, the owner of the seaweed farm and other volunteers went to disentangle the dugong and bring it to shore.
As the 2.6m long animal was brought to shore, the team recorded relevant scientific data and noted that the dugong would have to be buried properly so as to avoid the temptation of locals eating the meat, a crime which is punishable under Philippine law under Republic Act No. 9147 otherwise known as the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act, with the penalties of a PhP 100,000.00 to PhP 1,000,000.00 fine and 6-12 years in jail. A spot was then identified which would easily be patrolled and seen regularly by concerned members of the community.
The team was also able to speak with the seaweed farmer. He told us that his seaweed farm had been in the same location for three years. It had been recently destroyed by Typhoon Yolanda, but the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) of Busuanga had provided new ropes and seedlings to re-start his farm. The new site is a common sighting area for dugongs, as reported in previous Key Informant Interviews conducted by C3 Philippines and as reported by local fishermen through the Dugong-Fisher Monitoring System.
This is also reportedly the 2nd dugong mortality this year caused by entanglement in a seaweed farm. Mr. Dirk Fahrenbach of Dugong Dive Center, Club Paradise reports another such incident earlier this year, along the same northern coastline of Busuanga Island, but in municipal waters which are of the jurisdiction of Coron Municipality.
This only goes to show the need for closer coordination with the local government units, especially the MAO in planning activities such as water zoning, and in the general coordination of all marine-related activities.
On the bright side, however, this incident is also proof that C3 Philippines’ network of fishermen is active. The Dugong Monitoring System has helped set up the beginnings of response network, where target local communities are aware of C3 as the forefront for all dugong-related incidences.

DemocracyNow.org - Texas is preparing to kill death row prisoner Marvin Wilson tonight despite a 2002 Supreme Court ruling against the execution of the mentally retarded. Wilson was convicted of murdering Jerry Williams during a 1992 fight. His IQ is just 61, far below the cutoff of 70 that proves he is mentally impaired and therefore ineligible for the death penalty. But Texas argues the IQ test was improperly administered and federal appeals courts have declined to overturn the state's decision. We're joined by attorney Lee Kovarsky, who has spent the past six years working on Wilson's appeals, largely pro-bono; and by Richard Dieter, Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center, a nonprofit group that works to educate the public about capital punishment.

Death Penalty Information Center: An Overview
Hello, my name is Richard Dieter & I'm the Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center, or DPIC. For over twenty years, DPIC has helped to change fundamentally the American discourse on capital punishment, moving it away from emotionally charged rhetoric and toward a well-informed, fact-based discussion. We have pursued this goal through a strategy of professional communications and educational outreach to the public. In collaboration with other organizations, we have seen a sharp reversal in the course of the death penalty over the past decade. The country has moved from an era of increasing executions and state expansion to one of clear decline by every measure. We have developed strong relationships with journalists, editors, and producers, across the country and inte...

The 2% Death Penalty: How a Minority of Counties Produce Most Death Cases
Is the United States a death penalty country? With death penalty laws on the books in 32 states, it might appear so, but a new report from the Death Penalty Information Center shows the reality is that just 2% of counties account for the majority of death row inmates and executions in the modern era of the death penalty. 80% of American counties have no inmates on death row, and 85% have not had a case result in an execution. Although death penalty cases come from a small number of counties, all state taxpayers share the high cost of pursuing the death penalty, and the costs of review by federal courts are drawn from taxpayers across the country. One of the most thorough studies of death penalty expenses estimated the total cost of one death sentence at $3 million. Since the reinstate...

Death penalty expert comments on latest bungled execution that's reigniting debate in the US
A condemned murderer took nearly two hours to die and gasped for about 90 minutes during an execution in Arizona on Wednesday that quickly rekindled the national debate on capital punishment in the US. "This is a turning point," Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, told the AP in an interview on Thursday. "The death penalty doesn't always break through to the national consciousness on each execution. But now it has three times in a row in a few months and there's been other stories, so we're at a tipping point, we'll see what happens, but clearly some change is in the offing," he said. The execution of 55-year-old Joseph Rudolph Wood took so long that his lawyers had time to file an emergency appeal while it was ongoing. The Arizona...

The Death Penalty in 2013: Year End Review
Public support for the death penalty is at its lowest level in 40 years, and that lack of support is reflected in the use of the death penalty across the country. The 2013 Year End Report, issued on December 19th by the Death Penalty Information Center shows that by almost every measure, the death penalty declined in the United States in 2013. The number of death sentences imposed remained near the record low. Many prominent death penalty states, such as South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana, had no new sentences this year. For only the second time in 19 years, there were fewer than 40 executions. That is less than half the number carried out in 1999, when the number of executions peaked in the modern era. Only nine states carried out executions. The majority came from jus...

Fault Lines - Politics of Death Row
With the US continuing to execute prisoners, Fault Lines presenter Josh Rushing looks at the politics driving capital punishment in the US. Eighty per cent of the executions the US carries out occur in a handful of states in the South - where it is popular for politicians to run "tough on crime" campaigns. Fault Lines travels to Oklahoma -- which executes more prisoners per capita than any other state in the country. Josh Rushing gained rare access to Oklahoma's death row and the prisoners there. But across the US, there is a slow, but significant shift in America's attitude towards the death penalty. DNA testing and, in some states, a willingness by judges and prosecutors to revisit old capital cases have led to many well-publicised exonerations of death row inmates. Since 1973 over...

God Gives Us Up and our World is Turned Upside Down
Visit with seasoned saints and it doesn’t take long for someone to ask the question “what is wrong with this world?” Especially when the conversation turns to gay marriage, immorality of politicians or athletes or movie stars or teenagers or anyone for that matter. God has given us the answer to “what is wrong with this world?”. It is found in Romans 1:18-32. Basically the world is thinking upside down, and our attitude toward God is the determining factor! God has let us peek into the way He works when we react to Him the way we do. The bottom line is that our spiritual, emotional and mental health depend upon a right relationship to Him. Anything less will result in thinking and living that is “upside down” as far as God is concerned. FOUNDATION of WORTHWHILE LIVING “Listen, Israel: Yahw...

World Without Hate
Hate crime victim Rais Bhuiyan calls for the death row pardon of his attacker Mark Stroman. This was the first known hate crime targeting muslims as a retaliation for the World Trade Center disaster on September 11, 2001. Mr Stroman is scheduled to be executed in Texas on July 20th, 2011. Hate only brings fear, misery, resentment and disaster into human lives. It creates obstacles to healthy human growth, which in turn, diminishes society as a whole. In order to live in a better and peaceful world, we need to break the cycle of hate and violence. Mr Bhuiyan is working to educate those who may be as ignorant as Mark Stroman and raise a consciousness among people that hating others can never bring lasting peace and satisfaction.

Tradition vs Truth
Hearing of the increasing impact of Jesus' ministry, the religious leaders in Jerusalem decided to send an informal emissary to Galilee. The Pharisees and scribes were two of several different categories of Judaism in the first century. Choosing a visible, but relatively minor issue from their oral tradition, the Pharisees question Jesus about hand-washing (v 2). Jesus, employing the exact same phrase, rebut them with a superior question, "Why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition" (v 3)? In verses 4-6 Jesus chooses the fifth of the Ten Commandments (Ex 20:12) to point out their hypocrisy. Though the penalty could not be higher, these leaders had little regard for the welfare of their parent. Instead they employed a religious form of money laundering, by dedica...

In collaboration with other organizations, we have seen a sharp reversal in the course of the death penalty over the past decade. The country has moved from an era of increasing executions and state expansion to one of clear decline by every measure.
We have developed strong relationships with journalists, editors, and producers, across the country and internationally. They trust the accuracy of DPIC's information and insights. People everywhere rely on DPIC as a valuable resource. With the powerful tool of information that DPIC makes available, opinion leaders and decision-makers have been able to bring about considerable change on this issue.
DPIC provides a wide range of tools and resources to educate the public about the death penalty system. Our website, deathpenaltyinfo.org, has often had over 1 million hits in a day. The number of "unique visitors" exceeds that of many national organizations with broad agendas. The site is continually updated and expanded, and includes such valuable resources as searchable databases, videos, podcasts, fact sheets, and referrals to other organizations. The site is often linked to by national media websites and referred to in court opinions, legislative materials, books, and by people who work on this issue.
We believe that a well-informed, balanced discussion on the death penalty is essential to address the problems of this system. To that end, DPIC has published more than 20 reports on various issues related to the death penalty, including reports focused on innocence, costs, race, and the quality of legal representation. These reports exposed glaring flaws in the country's death penalty system, and hence, raised awareness of the need for change. We hope that you will join us in addressing this critical issue.

Is the United States a death penalty country?
With death penalty laws on the books in 32 states, it might appear so, but a new report from the Death Penalty Information Center shows the reality is that just 2% of counties account for the majority of death row inmates and executions in the modern era of the death penalty.
80% of American counties have no inmates on death row, and 85% have not had a case result in an execution.
Although death penalty cases come from a small number of counties, all state taxpayers share the high cost of pursuing the death penalty, and the costs of review by federal courts are drawn from taxpayers across the country.
One of the most thorough studies of death penalty expenses estimated the total cost of one death sentence at $3 million. Since the reinstatement of the death penalty, there have been over 8,300 death sentences in the U.S. The estimated total cost of these cases is a staggering $25 billion. These costs largely fall on taxpayers outside the counties that have sought the death penalty.
If this cost is divided by the number of executions during that time, the result is almost $20 million per execution. Instead of one execution, states could pay the salaries of over 250 more police officers or teachers for a year at $75,000 each.
In those relatively few counties that heavily use the death penalty, the legal system is often fraught with errors.
Philadelphia County is responsible for nearly half of Pennsylvania's death row inmates, yet it has paid court-appointed lawyers the lowest fees in the state, frequently has death sentences reversed because of inadequate defense representation, and has a record of racial bias in handing down death sentences.
Maricopa County, AZ ranks fourth in the country in the number of death row inmates and has sent many inmates to execution. Former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas used the death penalty so aggressively that at one point the county overwhelmed the courts with 149 pending capital cases. In 2012, Thomas was unanimously disbarred by the Arizona Supreme Court for corruption and abuse of power.
And the systemic problems in Philadelphia and Maricopa represent a larger trend. A 2000 study found that counties that used the death penalty more often had significantly higher reversal rates than counties that used the death penalty infrequently, meaning that their death sentences are more likely to be overturned due to errors.
The vast majority of counties in the U.S. have no one on death row and have not had a case resulting in an execution in over 45 years. In the last 6 years, 6 states have ended the death penalty, and a growing number of District Attorneys are finding that seeking the death penalty no longer makes sense. For the majority of counties in the U.S., the death penalty is already irrelevant.

And the systemic problems in Philadelphia and Maricopa represent a larger trend. A 2000 study found that counties that used the death penalty more often had significantly higher reversal rates than counties that used the death penalty infrequently, meaning that their death sentences are more likely to be overturned due to errors.
The vast majority of counties in the U.S. have no one on death row and have not had a case resulting in an execution in over 45 years. In the last 6 years, 6 states have ended the death penalty, and a growing number of District Attorneys are finding that seeking the death penalty no longer makes sense. For the majority of counties in the U.S., the death penalty is already irrelevant.

A condemned murderer took nearly two hours to die and gasped for about 90 minutes during an execution in Arizona on Wednesday that quickly rekindled the national debate on capital punishment in the US.
"This is a turning point," Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, told the AP in an interview on Thursday.
"The death penalty doesn't always break through to the national consciousness on each execution. But now it has three times in a row in a few months and there's been other stories, so we're at a tipping point, we'll see what happens, but clearly some change is in the offing," he said.
The execution of 55-year-old Joseph Rudolph Wood took so long that his lawyers had time to file an emergency appeal while it was ongoing.
The Arizona Supreme Court calling an impromptu hearing on the matter, but Wood died during the discussions.
It is the third prolonged execution this year in the U.S., including one in Ohio in which an inmate gasped in similar fashion for nearly half-an-hour.
An Oklahoma inmate died of a heart attack in April, minutes after prison officials halted his execution because the drugs weren't being administered properly.

A condemned murderer took nearly two hours to die and gasped for about 90 minutes during an execution in Arizona that quickly rekindled the national debate on capital punishment in the U.S.
The execution of 55-year-old Joseph Rudolph Wood took so long that his lawyers had time to file an emergency appeal while it was ongoing. The Arizona Supreme Court also called an impromptu hearing on the matter and learned of his death during the discussions.

The Death Penalty in 2013: Year End Review

Public support for the death penalty is at its lowest level in 40 years, and that lack of support is reflected in the use of the death penalty across the country. The 2013 Year End Report, issued on December 19th by the Death Penalty Information Center shows that by almost every measure, the death penalty declined in the United States in 2013.
The number of death sentences imposed remained near the record low. Many prominent death penalty states, such as South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana, had no new sentences this year.
For only the second time in 19 years, there were fewer than 40 executions. That is less than half the number carried out in 1999, when the number of executions peaked in the modern era. Only nine states carried out executions. The majority came from just two states: Texas and Florida.
Maryland abolished the death penalty this year, becoming the 6th state in 6 years to do so. This brings the total number of states without the death penalty to 18.
Mistakes continued to plague the death penalty. In October, Reginald Griffin of Missouri became the 143rd person exonerated from death row. At the time of his trial, prosecutors withheld critical evidence about another suspect. Griffin spent 30 years in prison, mostly on death row.
Concerns over innocence, unfairness, and other issues have caused leaders from across the political spectrum to voice concerns about the death penalty. Mary Kate Cary, a conservative commentator and former speechwriter for George H.W. Bush, joined a growing number of conservatives questioning capital punishment when she said, "Times have changed, and it's time for conservatives to get on the right side of the death penalty argument. One can oppose the death penalty and still be in favor of a tough, affordable, accurate and fair criminal justice system."
The history of the death penalty shows that its problems are not easily fixed, and new ones are almost certain to arise. It is likely that the declining use of the death penalty will continue as more state legislatures consider repealing what has become a very expensive and unpredictable punishment.

With the US continuing to execute prisoners, Fault Lines presenter Josh Rushing looks at the politics driving capital punishment in the US.
Eighty per cent of the executions the US carries out occur in a handful of states in the South - where it is popular for politicians to run "tough on crime" campaigns.
Fault Lines travels to Oklahoma -- which executes more prisoners per capita than any other state in the country. Josh Rushing gained rare access to Oklahoma's death row and the prisoners there.
But across the US, there is a slow, but significant shift in America's attitude towards the death penalty.
DNA testing and, in some states, a willingness by judges and prosecutors to revisit old capital cases have led to many well-publicised exonerations of death row inmates.
Since 1973 over 130 innocent people have been released from death row after establishing their innocence. The possibility of getting it wrong may have made juries nervous to hand out the death penalty ... preferring life without parole.
And while the US is still very much pro-death for capital offences, that support has dropped to 65 per cent in 2006, down from 80 per cent in 1994.

Professor at University of California Irvine, Elizabeth Cauffman, describes the focus of her research into what gets kids out of crime. Her research has not only delved into this subject but has also impacted legislation dealing with the death penalty and life without parole of juvenile defenders.
http://www.DocuInc.com
Elizabeth Cauffman, Ph.D. Professor - Department of Psychology and Social Behavior - Department of Education
My name is Elizabeth Cauffman I'm in the psychology and social behavior department in the school of social ecology.
The main focus of my research is on adolescent development and how kids change and how they develop over time and that really informs or provides the court with a foundation for better understanding of how to treat kids within the system. So a lot of my work is on when should kids be tried as adults, are they competent to stand trial, what are the right responses the justice system should have to kids during this developmental time period. So a lot of my research centers on if adolescents are so smart, why do they do such stupid things. A lot of kids end up making very immature decisions and better trying to understand what that disconnect is, so recent advances in neuroscience have shown that the brain is continuing to develop up until the age of 25 and that is particularly in the area of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for impulse control, planning, future orientation. Given that this is the last part of the brain to develop, it's not surprising that kids are more impulsive, don't think through their actions. And this is important cause in the research we've been doing, we've found that kids are much more responsive to rewards than they are to punishments. For instance, we've been following kids for the past seven years, these are serious offenders, these are offenders who've committed very heinous crimes. And a lot of people think that if you've committed a serious crime you must be a serious offender, and that life is over, this is a person that cannot be rehabilitated. And what we want to do is look at what predicts who stops offending, who desists from criminal activity. A lot of people look at the predictors of what gets kids into crime, very few people look at what gets kids out of crime. One of the things we know from our findings is that as kids mature the more likely they are to stop offending.
The most exciting way that I have seen my research impact policy is having the supreme court take up the issue of the death penalty for juvenile offenders. It's hard to believe that the United States is one of the last countries to still execute their children. So my research not only impacted the abolishment of the juvenile death penalty, but it was also involved in the recent 2010 abolishment of life without the possibility of parole for non homicide cases for juvenile offenders and to know that my research had an impact on the policies of this country is very exciting.

Larry's Testimony in Support of HB 2372
Testimony of Larry Halloran in support of HB 2372;
Chairman Kinzer and Members of the House Judiciary Committee,
We ask for your support of HB 2372; An Act concerning immigration; requiring verification of employment eligibility and making other amendments concerning immigration.
The fundamental question today is not illegal immigration itself. If we are a nation of laws and are faithful to our obligations as citizens or legislators then we will rightfully conclude that the rule of law is the bedrock foundation of our society and passage of this legislation should require little debate.
I would not dispute that employer and citizen alike have found the blind eye beneficial to their pocket book but financial gain, open borders or humanitarian compassion are not acceptable substitutes for the rule of law. Yesterdays benefit (however perceived) is today's liability as our citizens find themselves struggling to meet the increased burden of illegal immigration on our society that cannot be measured in financial terms alone.
The blessings and benefits of America are bountiful. But, if they are to be preserved for our posterity and those seeking the benefit of citizenship they must be secured by principled adherence to our state and federal Constitutions.
Illegal immigration is a festering cancer that damages both our society and those unlawfully seeking employment. It creates the necessity for a second society operating under the radar that inhibits the necessary assimilation of new immigrants into the America family. We are no longer concerned with a few thousand illegal immigrants that could be easily absorbed but rather tens of millions that now tax the limits of our social networks. It is past time for the half measured approaches, nod and wink policies and felonious excuses of citizen, employer and legislator alike related to the employment eligibility of illegal immigrants are put to rest. It is time that a lawful approach to employment eligibility verification becomes the rule for all employers and the accepted social norm for all citizens. Of even greater importance is that you, the citizen legislator, honor your oath of office and uphold the rule of law.
Our Founders studied the laws and customs of many nations (both failed and existing) and took from them guidance for our Constitution that best protected a free people and society. For over 200 years, our Constitution has served as the legal binder for our citizens and those wishing to assimilate into a free society. Today, many seek to dilute the authority of our Constitution through substitution of unlawful privileges that in essence establish an equal but separate society within our borders. A society that stands in stark contrast and in opposition to the fundamental necessity of assimilation at the expense of individual liberties guaranteed to all by our Constitution. Such practices serve to disadvantage the citizens and legal immigrants that play by the rules and adhere to our laws by granting unearned favor to the illegal immigrant.
Surely, we are all aware of the inequities, consequences and unquestionable failures of equal but separate jurisprudence practiced at times within our own society. To turn a blind eye or foster such practices is treasonous to our founding principles, documents and the faith of those who gave all to defend and preserve the greatest grant of freedom ever known to man; America.
The challenges before us in preserving the free society and America are indeed great but do include a provision for national suicide. Tolerance does not beget equal but separate in a free society but instead requires assimilation through shared core values and equal application of the laws
Thank you for your favorable support of HB 2372, your service and the defense of freedom for all.
Respectfully,
Larry Halloran, Chairman

Larry's Testimony in Support of HB 2372
Testimony of Larry Halloran in support of HB 2372;
Chairman Kinzer and Members of the House Judiciary Committee,
We ask for your support of HB 2372; An Act concerning immigration; requiring verification of employment eligibility and making other amendments concerning immigration.
The fundamental question today is not illegal immigration itself. If we are a nation of laws and are faithful to our obligations as citizens or legislators then we will rightfully conclude that the rule of law is the bedrock foundation of our society and passage of this legislation should require little debate.
I would not dispute that employer and citizen alike have found the blind eye beneficial to their pocket book but financial gain, open borders or humanitarian compassion are not acceptable substitutes for the rule of law. Yesterdays benefit (however perceived) is today's liability as our citizens find themselves struggling to meet the increased burden of illegal immigration on our society that cannot be measured in financial terms alone.
The blessings and benefits of America are bountiful. But, if they are to be preserved for our posterity and those seeking the benefit of citizenship they must be secured by principled adherence to our state and federal Constitutions.
Illegal immigration is a festering cancer that damages both our society and those unlawfully seeking employment. It creates the necessity for a second society operating under the radar that inhibits the necessary assimilation of new immigrants into the America family. We are no longer concerned with a few thousand illegal immigrants that could be easily absorbed but rather tens of millions that now tax the limits of our social networks. It is past time for the half measured approaches, nod and wink policies and felonious excuses of citizen, employer and legislator alike related to the employment eligibility of illegal immigrants are put to rest. It is time that a lawful approach to employment eligibility verification becomes the rule for all employers and the accepted social norm for all citizens. Of even greater importance is that you, the citizen legislator, honor your oath of office and uphold the rule of law.
Our Founders studied the laws and customs of many nations (both failed and existing) and took from them guidance for our Constitution that best protected a free people and society. For over 200 years, our Constitution has served as the legal binder for our citizens and those wishing to assimilate into a free society. Today, many seek to dilute the authority of our Constitution through substitution of unlawful privileges that in essence establish an equal but separate society within our borders. A society that stands in stark contrast and in opposition to the fundamental necessity of assimilation at the expense of individual liberties guaranteed to all by our Constitution. Such practices serve to disadvantage the citizens and legal immigrants that play by the rules and adhere to our laws by granting unearned favor to the illegal immigrant.
Surely, we are all aware of the inequities, consequences and unquestionable failures of equal but separate jurisprudence practiced at times within our own society. To turn a blind eye or foster such practices is treasonous to our founding principles, documents and the faith of those who gave all to defend and preserve the greatest grant of freedom ever known to man; America.
The challenges before us in preserving the free society and America are indeed great but do include a provision for national suicide. Tolerance does not beget equal but separate in a free society but instead requires assimilation through shared core values and equal application of the laws
Thank you for your favorable support of HB 2372, your service and the defense of freedom for all.
Respectfully,
Larry Halloran, Chairman

"Under the current SRS system Kansas taxpayers are having millions of dollars stolen from them through fraud. Perhaps worse Kansas citizens, who are footing the bill, are being denied benefits that illegal aliens are approved for. The SRS system works for the illegal aliens and the illegal aliens know how to work the system...."

God Gives Us Up and our World is Turned Upside Down

Visit with seasoned saints and it doesn’t take long for someone to ask the question “what is wrong with this world?” Especially when the conversation turns to gay marriage, immorality of politicians or athletes or movie stars or teenagers or anyone for that matter. God has given us the answer to “what is wrong with this world?”. It is found in Romans 1:18-32. Basically the world is thinking upside down, and our attitude toward God is the determining factor! God has let us peek into the way He works when we react to Him the way we do. The bottom line is that our spiritual, emotional and mental health depend upon a right relationship to Him. Anything less will result in thinking and living that is “upside down” as far as God is concerned.
FOUNDATION of WORTHWHILE LIVING
“Listen, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Deuteronomy 6:4-6 (HCSB)
Both God and the Jews consider this foundational truth for living a a life that is worthwhile. Jehovah God must be honored with all or our life, beginning with His place in our heart. Romans 1:18-23 paints the big picture of what happens when we do not properly honor God, fail to see Him at work in our lives (thank Him) and exalt ourselves over Him (vain thinking). Their foolish hearts become darkened and they become fools-’moraino’-worthless and good for nothing to God!
The God we worship depends upon our heart, and what we hold dear in our heart. From our heart proceeds reverence or dishonor. That feeds our emotional soul and results in a thankful attitude. An irreverent heart results in resentment and bitterness in our emotional being. Our emotional soul feds our mind and either empowers us to set our minds upon God or upon ourselves. If we set our minds on ourselves we will worship a god of our own making.
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Isa 26:3
But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” Matthew 16:23
Furthermore, if we chose to worship God in only one or even two of these areas of our life, wrong worship will be the result:
If we honor God in our heart alone and neglect our emotions and thinking, we will love ANY god.
If we honor God with our emotions yet withhold our heart and our mind, we will be emotional about EVERY god.
If we set our mind on God without giving Him our heart and our emotions, we will make our OWN god.
PARADIDOMAI AND EVIL SHADOWS
Because men would not glorify God, would not make God part of their life by remembering to thank Him, and then ignored Him by becoming vain in their thinking, Creator God “gives them up” to the consequences of their unbelief – the control of sin.
“Gave up” is paradidōmi: “to give into the hands of another, to give over into one’s power or use.” Since men chose to give up God and worship the creature, God issues not only a permissive sentence, but a judicial one, whereby men discover that failure to worship God and seek after him leads to enslavement to the most hideous things, things which they thought were worth worshipping.
Remember the Movie “GHOST”?
“Paradidomi” pictures a man being delivered to prison to be subject to the power and authority of a wicked warden. If you are a fan of “Ghost” picture the scene toward the end where the evil “shadow spirits” come and take Carl Bruner (the villain) away to eternal torment. We are all applauding to know such a horrible man finally gets what he deserves.
Wuest points out that this “giving up” was first begun by man. “These people had already willfully deserted God who merely left them to their own self-determination and self-destruction, part of the price of man’s moral freedom.”
The sad truth is that any man who rejects God as God, and fails to worship His Glory, is subject to the same fate. Not just “murderers” like the character Carl Bruner. God says that any man who fails to honor and worship Him in their heart is a worthless “MORON!” Actually the word is ‘moraino’, but the same meaning is implied. Most translations use the word “FOOL.”
I COULD USE THE WORD “FOOL”, BUT I LIKE USING MORON.
God wants us to have a vivid picture of what happens when we neglect Him or deliberately fail to Worship Him. He gives us Three Pictures of the Downward Descent of Mankind when they forget God and go their own way. The evil shadow spirits are allowed to dominate and control MORONS.
Three times Romans 1 records that God “paradidomi” man. Three times God gives man up to the control of sin. Each time the consequences are frightening. The shocking image of the “evil shadows” of “Ghost” are nothing compared to the images we will paint this morning.
Perhaps it is

!> FIRST !> PROLOGUE !
Before you even start watching and/or reading this article, read this:
The analysis of this “Unique 240-day of War Aggression Over Libya” - the genocide against the Libyan people is not completely correct!
This is more like the text of Wikipedia on the so-called - "civil war" in Libya ...
...or a magazine article on geo-politics, that is - to paint a picture of political events...
BUT - no human suffering and the scale of one of the most monstrous crimes of the 21st century, that any are missing or displayed in a few sentences, but as - indirect victims of any war!
Here is what is missing and must be added (If there should be consistency):
1) Devil run between Britain and France (I think it was one year before the invasion of Libya) which is planned destabilization of Libya, Libyan and download Gaddafi and in extreme cases - a joint occupation!
2) There is no role of the World Jewish Mafia (and the involvement of parasite - Bernard Levy)!
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=249304155086580
Who is Bernard Levy and what did he do in this so-called "revolution" is entirely omitted !?
Not to be missed Zionist demon operating plan, nearly 30 years, invented by the Zionist criminal brain ... plan to change the map and the political situation in the Middle East and North Africa !
Typical in this plan of Satan is that the Middle East and North Africa should be broken into small, weak and puppet states in favor of - "Great Israel"!
The means of achieving this goal is The Destabilization Of The Countries which was still not under the control of the Zionist mafia and was not allowed criminal financial ‘institutions’ and oil ‘corporations’ to plunder their country!
Destabilization of these countries methods are mainly to be sparked religious, tribal and ethnic tensions to destabilize the government and break the country!
To help benefit under false flag operations, terrorism, political assassinations ... all possible measures (characteristic of the criminal Zionist marrow) !
This is exactly the reason to use “the methods of the *Clash of Civilizations*” in the first days of events in Benghazi to be sparked as ethnic (mostly in Libya), tribal and political tensions!
In Benghazi were muted television, radio and internet emanated propaganda and demonization, the main lie was that "Gaddafi's regime" has sent thousands of black African mercenaries + ‘Viagra’ will kill and rape ... because many blacks liked Gaddafi!
That was enough crowd to start lynching of blacks by this - is not accidental, but planned major destabilization tactics!
We must never forget the role of criminal organizations and fake "human rights" (associated with Soros) who preached hysteria against blacks, all documented and broadcast in the criminal Zionist media !
//*NOTE: "Why Is Gaddafi Being Demonized ?" https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=125708630838908 //
3) In this analysis, paying too little attention to the "mysterious" snipers in Benghazi, are mercenaries and special forces of Britain and France (all is explained very briefly in two sentences?)!
Right here should be paid much more attention!
This is an old tactic of terrorist destabilization in which specially trained mercenary terrorists and special forces working for Western intelligence agencies began a coordinated and deliberate terror - killings of civilians (including women and children)!
In these operations under a "false flag" is specific - especially direct (kill) people whose death can cause the most stress and dissatisfaction with the angry crowd, which caused a chain reaction in people who turn to turn people against Government aid in pouring oil on the fire using agitators and hysteria among the crowd + of criminal corporate media, politicians, fake "activist" organizations and fake "human rights"!
At the beginning of operations under false flag held in Benghazi is clearly demonstrated and documented the presence of special forces of France and Britain which signals have begun to attack the barracks and police stations and carrying out assassinations of policemen and soldiers (some of it may act war?
But the truth is - pure Terrorism and crime against peace and humanity)!
Along with attacks on barracks and police stations are carried out and murder of civilians (including women and children) and of course - assassinations of political leaders and supporters of the legitimate Libyan government, the criminal corporate media teach these perversions as - "mode" Gaddafi kills "peaceful protesters" and "peaceful protesters" are infuriated and "self" begins to kill - "loyal to the regime" (ie police and soldiers) and then goes to take revenge on supporters and political leaders Gaddafi .. . who "was responsible" for the "massacre"!

The full text of the press conference held by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday August 9th, 2010 at Shahed Hall – Airport Highway
In the Name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, The Lord of the world. Peace be on the Seal of prophets - our Master and Prophet Abi Al Qassem Mohammad - and on his chaste and pure Household, chosen companions and all prophets and messengers.
Brothers and sisters! Ladies and gentlemen! Peace be upon you all and Allah's mercy and blessing.
First, I have promised to hold a press conference in which I present indications and data that open new horizons which help in accusing the Israeli enemy of assassinating martyr Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. This is exactly what I promised of, and I will fulfill my promise tonight Inshallah.
Also since I made my announcement to this effect, comments from one party were issued: Why now? Why not years before? Why did you hide this data? Why are you unveiling it now and talking about it?
Apart from the means, background and technique in which this issue was evoked – as we will talk seriously because we do not want to get engaged with each other – I will leave answering this question to the end of the press conference because the data which I will present will help, taking its nature and timing into consideration. That will help very much in answering this question.
Indeed I must welcome all of you and thank you for this important and great attendance. It goes without saying that the event, the topic, the cause, the stage and the challenge necessitated on you this level of responsibility – and you are competent for this responsibility. Welcome then. I also thank all the media outlets that will show interest in what I will say and broadcast it live on air.
As usual, there are several topics:
I will try to be as quick as possible. I will talk also in classical Arabic to generalize the benefit abroad. I will be as quick as possible to make full use of time though the case deserves considerable time from all of us.
The first topic: Israel's accusation of Hezbollah. This is an indispensable prelude. The Israeli enemy had been working on this since the very beginning and especially after the event of September 13th, 1993. All of us – all the Lebanese – know that on that very day Oslo Accord was inked. Hezbollah organized a protest in the southern suburb (Dahiyeh); it was opposed by the Lebanese government which was then under Premier Hariri. Fire was opened on the demonstrators; ten martyrs fell and more than 50 were wounded. At the time, a kind of political tension and conflict took place between Hezbollah and the first government of Premier Hariri and with Premier Rafiq Hariri in person. This is well known.
The Israelis intruded through one of their agent at the time who contacted one of the security internals in the party of Premier Hariri. He worked at convincing him that Hezbollah is plotting to assassinate him and is now in the execution stage. He particularly accused brethren martyr Imad Mughniyeh and others of what he claimed and the data he gave.
To comprehend the issue, I would like to present it in my way: Months after the event of September 13th, 1993, Syrian Intelligence and pursuant to a command by General Ghazi Kanaan, arrested one of the Islamic Resistance cadres in Sidon – namely brethren fighter Hajj Ali Deeb who is known as Abu Hassan Salameh and who was later killed by the Israelis. When you listen to the collaborator talking about Abu Hassan Salameh, he would be meaning brethren Ali Deeb. Brethren Ali Deeb was arrested in ambiguous unknown conditions. Days later, I knew that brethren Abu Hassan Salameh is in Anjjar. So I went to meet General Ghazi Kanaan, and I called on him to set free the brethren. He told me that he sent him that morning to Damascus and that the issue is in Damascus by now. I blamed him saying: What is the story? Has you summoned him from me for interrogation, you know that we would have responded. You know we respond in such issues especially if the case is sensitive.
General Ghazi told me: (Indeed let no one say I am referring to deceased persons because the document exists and will be presented in a while) Some days ago, Premier Rafiq Hariri paid me a visit and told me: I have some data; there is a very close person to Hajj Imad Mughniyeh. He is either a politburo or one of the very close bodyguards to Hajj Imad. He attended a session (this reminds me of Zuheir Essedeeq) with Hajj Imad Mughniyeh and Abu Hassan Salameh among others whom he did not know by name. In the session, they plotted to assassinate you. The assassination will take place through ambushes which will be set for you in this road and on that road. He gave him some details. General Ghazi carries on saying: We can't remain silent on that because this is an assassination operation which is being set for the Premier. We can't contact Imad Mughniyeh but we ca

He told me that he sent him that morning to Damascus and that the issue is in Damascus by now. I blamed him saying: What is the story? Has you summoned him from me for interrogation, you know that we would have responded. You know we respond in such issues especially if the case is sensitive.
General Ghazi told me: (Indeed let no one say I am referring to deceased persons because the document exists and will be presented in a while) Some days ago, Premier Rafiq Hariri paid me a visit and told me: I have some data; there is a very close person to Hajj Imad Mughniyeh. He is either a politburo or one of the very close bodyguards to Hajj Imad. He attended a session (this reminds me of Zuheir Essedeeq) with Hajj Imad Mughniyeh and Abu Hassan Salameh among others whom he did not know by name. In the session, they plotted to assassinate you. The assassination will take place through ambushes which will be set for you in this road and on that road. He gave him some details. General Ghazi carries on saying: We can't remain silent on that because this is an assassination operation which is being set for the Premier. We can't contact Imad Mughniyeh but we ca

Hate crime victim Rais Bhuiyan calls for the death row pardon of his attacker Mark Stroman. This was the first known hate crime targeting muslims as a retaliation for the World Trade Center disaster on September 11, 2001. Mr Stroman is scheduled to be executed in Texas on July 20th, 2011.
Hate only brings fear, misery, resentment and disaster into human lives. It creates obstacles to healthy human growth, which in turn, diminishes society as a whole.
In order to live in a better and peaceful world, we need to break the cycle of hate and violence. Mr Bhuiyan is working to educate those who may be as ignorant as Mark Stroman and raise a consciousness among people that hating others can never bring lasting peace and satisfaction.
For more information, and to stop the cycle of violence, please sign the petition requesting that Mark Stroman’s death penalty be commuted to life in prison with no parole at www.worldwithouthate.org

Hearing of the increasing impact of Jesus' ministry, the religious leaders in Jerusalem decided to send an informal emissary to Galilee. The Pharisees and scribes were two of several different categories of Judaism in the first century. Choosing a visible, but relatively minor issue from their oral tradition, the Pharisees question Jesus about hand-washing (v 2). Jesus, employing the exact same phrase, rebut them with a superior question, "Why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition" (v 3)? In verses 4-6 Jesus chooses the fifth of the Ten Commandments (Ex 20:12) to point out their hypocrisy. Though the penalty could not be higher, these leaders had little regard for the welfare of their parent. Instead they employed a religious form of money laundering, by dedicating what might have helped their parents to the Temple. Unable to touch the dedicated property because of their vow (corban), they would wait until the death of their parents and then reclaim it. For the sake of their tradition-which most often was put in place to satisfy their greed-they had voided the truth of God's words and thereby incurred the title, "hypocrites" (lit. one who wears a mask or an actor, the word has been transliterated instead of translated from Greek = hupokritai). Jesus' indictment is reminiscent of God's judgment on Judah during their rebellion and subsequent punishment at the hand of Babylon found in Isaiah 29 (vv 8,9).
Seizing the teaching moment, Jesus explains the straightforward principle at hand. It is not what goes into a person that defiles them (destroys their integrity), but what comes out (see Eph 4:29; Js 3:6; vv 10,11). Quickly interrupting the flow of the lesson, His disciples warned Jesus that He was "offending" (fr. skandalizo, later scandal) His opponents (v 12). Thinking back to the wheat and the tares, Jesus reminds His disciples of God's sovereign control (v 13). Besides, they are nothing more than the "blind leading the blind" (v 14).
Apparently frustrated by Peter's lack of understanding (perhaps acting too much like the Pharisees, "also" v 15, 16), Jesus provides an explanation. Things that are eaten end up in the latrine (v 17), but words and attitudes come from the center of one's being, the heart ( kardia) to bless or to curse Js 3:9, 10. Bringing the discussion full circle, Jesus returns to the priority of the commandments of God above the traditions of men by listing at least four more of the Ten Commandments (murder, adultery, stealing, and lying; v 19). Lest the life principle be lost in the details of the object lesson, Jesus returns to the original accusation by stressing these offenses defile a person because they demonstrate their true nature, but to eat with unwashed hands does not (v 20).
In the fight for truth where did these religious people go wrong and what will keep us from doing the same thing?
1. They took fatal steps concerning the Word of God.
A. They Forgot the Word of God.
B. They Added to the Word of God.
C. They Fabricated a new Word of God.

BUSUANGA, PALAWAN – Last 6 December 2013 at 8:30 AM, the C3 Busuanga Field Office received a call from the Barangay Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Council (BFARMC) Chairman of Brgy. Cheey. The BFARMC Chairman, Clemente Abaño, reported a dugong death in their local community due to entanglement in the ropes of a seaweed farm.
Two young men, Samson Ayso and Edwin Gadiano, Jr., had gone out fishing earlier that day and at 7:00 AM had passed by the plantation located just in front of the coastline of Sitio Minit, Brgy. Cheey. As they passed by the seaweed plantation, they saw that a dugong had been entangled in one of the lines. They reported the incident to Mr. Abaño, who then called up the C3 Philippines Field Office.
C3 Programme Officer Danica Lopez and Programme Assistant Archie Espinosa quickly mobilized in order to get to Brgy. Cheey to secure data and to ensure that the community would not eat the dugong’s meat. The team arrived in Brgy. Cheey at 11:20 AM and met with Mr. Abaño and Brgy. Capt. Montañez about the incident. At this point, the dugong had not yet been disentangled from the ropes, and so the team together with Mr. Abaño, the owner of the seaweed farm and other volunteers went to disentangle the dugong and bring it to shore.
As the 2.6m long animal was brought to shore, the team recorded relevant scientific data and noted that the dugong would have to be buried properly so as to avoid the temptation of locals eating the meat, a crime which is punishable under Philippine law under Republic Act No. 9147 otherwise known as the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act, with the penalties of a PhP 100,000.00 to PhP 1,000,000.00 fine and 6-12 years in jail. A spot was then identified which would easily be patrolled and seen regularly by concerned members of the community.
The team was also able to speak with the seaweed farmer. He told us that his seaweed farm had been in the same location for three years. It had been recently destroyed by Typhoon Yolanda, but the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) of Busuanga had provided new ropes and seedlings to re-start his farm. The new site is a common sighting area for dugongs, as reported in previous Key Informant Interviews conducted by C3 Philippines and as reported by local fishermen through the Dugong-Fisher Monitoring System.
This is also reportedly the 2nd dugong mortality this year caused by entanglement in a seaweed farm. Mr. Dirk Fahrenbach of Dugong Dive Center, Club Paradise reports another such incident earlier this year, along the same northern coastline of Busuanga Island, but in municipal waters which are of the jurisdiction of Coron Municipality.
This only goes to show the need for closer coordination with the local government units, especially the MAO in planning activities such as water zoning, and in the general coordination of all marine-related activities.
On the bright side, however, this incident is also proof that C3 Philippines’ network of fishermen is active. The Dugong Monitoring System has helped set up the beginnings of response network, where target local communities are aware of C3 as the forefront for all dugong-related incidences.

DemocracyNow.org - Texas is preparing to kill death row prisoner Marvin Wilson tonight despite a 2002 Supreme Court ruling against the execution of the mentally retarded. Wilson was convicted of murdering Jerry Williams during a 1992 fight. His IQ is just 61, far below the cutoff of 70 that proves he is mentally impaired and therefore ineligible for the death penalty. But Texas argues the IQ test was improperly administered and federal appeals courts have declined to overturn the state's decision. We're joined by attorney Lee Kovarsky, who has spent the past six years working on Wilson's appeals, largely pro-bono; and by Richard Dieter, Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center, a nonprofit group that works to educate the public about capital punishment.

Dateline NBC Serial killer Timothy Wilson SPENCER | Death Penalty Information Center
Tim Spencer (1984-1987) aka "the Southside Slayer" was a 35-year old resident of Richmond, Virginia who viciously raped and strangled 7 people, 6 women and 1 man, the man left hanging from an overpass. Each of the crimes were somewhat different, leading Richmond police to suspect copycat killers, and in 1985, they convicted the wrong man for one of the murders. They learned it was the wrong man via DNA evidence. This was the first case in Virginia legal history to use DNA “fingerprinting” and it both convicted Spencer and exonerated the person wrongfully convicted. Spencer received the death penalty.

America's youngest girl on Death Row- Execution Documentary
America's youngest girl on Death Row- Execution Documentary The American death penalty is falling out of favor, with sentences and executions hitting record lows, as the public expresses more opposition to it than at any point since the Civil Rights Movement. The Death Penalty Information Center, which has released its annual report, found that executions in 2016 had fallen to their lowest level since 1991. The drop in state-sanctioned deaths has come at a time when less than half of Americans support the death penalty for people convicted of murder, according to the Pew Research Center. In recent years, more than a half-dozen states including Louisiana and Oklahoma have stalled executions due to shortages of drugs used in lethal injections, legal challenges and changing injection protocol...

1 op 25 terdoodveroordeelden waarschijnlijk onschuldig
Meer dan 4 procent van de terdoodveroordeelden in de Verenigde Staten is waarschijnlijk onschuldig. Dat is gebleken uit een onderzoek dat de 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' gisteren publiceerde. Van 1973 tot 2004 werden in de Verenigde Staten 138 terdoodveroordeelden, of 1,6 procent, alsnog vrijgesproken nadat hun onschuld bewezen werd." Toch wordt de overgrote meerderheid van de onschuldigen op 'Death Row' nooit ontdekt, laat staan vrijgesproken", zegt professor Samuel Gross van de rechtenuniversiteit van Michigan. Het is enorm moeilijk om onschuldige veroordeelden te identificeren, omdat in meer dan 60 procent van de gevallen de doodstraf uiteindelijk wordt omgezet in een levenslange gevangenisstraf. In die gevallen wordt de schuldvraag meestal niet meer zo grondig be...

Death Row Stories ~ Cruel and Unusual Botched Executions
Less than 10 minutes into his execution, Arizona death row inmate Joseph Wood was still gasping for air. Typically the procedure lasts five to 10 minutes, so when Wood did not die, he was injected 15 more times. Nearly two hours later, he was pronounced dead. The 2014 death of Wood came after the high profile case of Oklahoma inmate Clayton Lockett, who took 43 minutes to die. Witnesses say he writhed, groaned, convulsed and attempted to speak during the procedure. Lockett’s family filed a lawsuit against the state alleging he was tortured. But a federal judge dismissed their claims, saying it was “an isolated mishap”. However, this hasn’t been the only incident to take place in the country. Stories like these have prompted some death row inmates and their lawyers to challenge the use ...

Tim Spencer (1984-1987) aka "the Southside Slayer" was a 35-year old resident of Richmond, Virginia who viciously raped and strangled 7 people, 6 women and 1 man, the man left hanging from an overpass. Each of the crimes were somewhat different, leading Richmond police to suspect copycat killers, and in 1985, they convicted the wrong man for one of the murders. They learned it was the wrong man via DNA evidence. This was the first case in Virginia legal history to use DNA “fingerprinting” and it both convicted Spencer and exonerated the person wrongfully convicted. Spencer received the death penalty.

America's youngest girl on Death Row- Execution Documentary
The American death penalty is falling out of favor, with sentences and executions hitting record lows, as the public expresses more opposition to it than at any point since the Civil Rights Movement.
The Death Penalty Information Center, which has released its annual report, found that executions in 2016 had fallen to their lowest level since 1991. The drop in state-sanctioned deaths has come at a time when less than half of Americans support the death penalty for people convicted of murder, according to the Pew Research Center.
In recent years, more than a half-dozen states including Louisiana and Oklahoma have stalled executions due to shortages of drugs used in lethal injections, legal challenges and changing injection protocols.
Despite growing opposition, voters in three states -- Nebraska, California and Oklahoma -- this year defeated ballot measures seeking to abolish the death penalty.
Below are some statistics facts that reflect the current state of the American executions.http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/26/us/us-executions-death-penalty-infographic/

Meer dan 4 procent van de terdoodveroordeelden in de Verenigde Staten is waarschijnlijk onschuldig. Dat is gebleken uit een onderzoek dat de 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' gisteren publiceerde.
Van 1973 tot 2004 werden in de Verenigde Staten 138 terdoodveroordeelden, of 1,6 procent, alsnog vrijgesproken nadat hun onschuld bewezen werd." Toch wordt de overgrote meerderheid van de onschuldigen op 'Death Row' nooit ontdekt, laat staan vrijgesproken", zegt professor Samuel Gross van de rechtenuniversiteit van Michigan.
Het is enorm moeilijk om onschuldige veroordeelden te identificeren, omdat in meer dan 60 procent van de gevallen de doodstraf uiteindelijk wordt omgezet in een levenslange gevangenisstraf. In die gevallen wordt de schuldvraag meestal niet meer zo grondig behandeld als bij terdoodveroordeelden. De onderzoekers schatten dat minstens 4,1 procent van de terdoodveroordeelden uiteindelijk zou worden vrijgesproken, mocht hun straf niet zijn omgezet in een levenslange gevangenisstraf. Dat wil zeggen dat minstens 200 gevangenen tussen 1973 en 2004 onterecht zijn geëxecuteerd.
Richard Dieter, directeur van het 'Death Penalty Information Center', verklaart na het lezen van de studie dat het 'onschuldprobleem' veel erger is dan hij dacht. "Deze indrukwekkende studie legt een grote zwakte van ons gebruik van de doodstraf bloot", aldus Dieter.

The Delacorte Lectures, presented in the spring semester, examine aspects of magazine journalism by a leader in the field of magazine publishing. The series is headed by Victor Navasky, the George T. Delacorte Professor in Magazine Journalism and director of the Delacorte Center.
John R. (Rick) MacArthur is President and Publisher of Harper's Magazine and an award-winning journalist and author. Under his leadership, the magazine has received 18 National Magazine Awards, the industry's highest recognition. In 2008, MacArthur published his third book, You Can't Be President: The Outrageous Barriers to Democracy in America. He writes a monthly column for the Providence Journal and, in French, for Le Devoir (Montreal) on a wide range of topics, from politics to culture. In 1993 he received the Mencken Award for best editorial/op-ed column for his New York Times investigation of Nayrah Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador's daughter who helped fake the Iraqi baby-incubator atrocity. MacArthur's first book, Second Front: Censorship and Propaganda in the Gulf War, won the Illinois ACLU's 1992 Harry Kalven Freedom of Expression award. His follow-up, The Selling of "Free Trade": NAFTA, Washington, and the Subversion of American Democracy, was published in the spring of 2000. A tireless advocate for international human rights, MacArthur founded and serves on the board of directors of the Death Penalty Information Center and the Roderick MacArthur Justice Center. Along with members of his family he founded Article 19, the International Center on Censorship, based in London, and in 1989 he initiated and helped organize the PEN/Article 19/Author's Guild rally for Salman Rushdie. He is also on the board of directors of the Author's Guild, and he is a fellow at the New York Institute for the Humanities.

Less than 10 minutes into his execution, Arizona death row inmate Joseph Wood was still gasping for air. Typically the procedure lasts five to 10 minutes, so when Wood did not die, he was injected 15 more times. Nearly two hours later, he was pronounced dead.
The 2014 death of Wood came after the high profile case of Oklahoma inmate Clayton Lockett, who took 43 minutes to die. Witnesses say he writhed, groaned, convulsed and attempted to speak during the procedure.
Lockett’s family filed a lawsuit against the state alleging he was tortured. But a federal judge dismissed their claims, saying it was “an isolated mishap”. However, this hasn’t been the only incident to take place in the country. Stories like these have prompted some death row inmates and their lawyers to challenge the use of the drug midazolam, a sedative used during the lethal injection procedure. In June, the Supreme Court ruled the drug did not violate the Eighth Amendment’s ban on “cruel and unusual” punishment.
Oklahoma is set to execute Richard Glossip on Wednesday by lethal injection. Glossip and his lawyer are calling for a different cocktail to be used. However, states are having difficulty obtaining drugs as many pharmaceutical companies have refused to associate their products with executing people. This has resulted in some states obtaining lethal drugs secretly, sometimes resorting to untested alternatives. We’ll look at executions gone wrong and why some states struggle to obtain a more effective lethal injection cocktail for death row inmates.
The method in which some US state governments use to execute inmates on death row has come under serious scrutiny after an unprecedented rise in botched executions. Last year was the worst in the history of lethal injection, a method many US states believe to be more humane than the electric chair.

Botched executions are not a new phenomena. Previous years have seen executions where prison personnel struggled to establish IV access, in some cases, resulting in executioners taking up to 35 minutes to find a vein. But recent cases have shed light on the various challenges faced by many states in obtaining the most effective lethal injection cocktail drugs.

More and more pharmaceutical companies refuse to associate themselves with executions. In 2011, the sole US manufacturer of sodium thiopental, the drug most widely used in lethal injections, stopped producing their product because of pressure from Italy, where their pharmaceutical plant is located. Like Italy, many other European companies exporting pharmaceuticals have prevented the use of their drugs in executions. US states still conducting executions have since scrambled to find replacement drugs, sometimes resorting to less effective drugs.

The execution of Arizona death row inmate Joseph Wood, the fourth inmate to endure a problematic execution in 2014, took nearly two hours. A journalist and witness to the execution claimed Wood gasped for air more than 640 times before he died. Wood was given a combination of midazolam and hydromophone, the same drug cocktail which was used in the botched execution of Oklahoma inmate Clayton Lockett. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, both Ohio and Arizona have used this two-drug protocol, resulting in prolonged executions in 2014.
Some death row inmates and their lawyers have challenged the use of the drug midazolam, questioning whether new injection cocktails cause "impermissible suffering" that may amount to "cruel and unusual punishment", which is prohibited under the Eighth Amendment of the US Constitution. The Supreme Court recently shot down this argument, ruling the drug is permissible for use in executions. The court also ruled that if inmates want to challenge the methods of their executions, they need to not only prove the method will likely put them through pain, but also propose a better alternative.

Death Penalty
I was painfully aware, I was painfully unprepared
So I did my best to make every thing right
And I spent some time alone on the surface of the sun
And I burned away to what I once was
All that time I have wasted
All that time I was wasted
It doesn't matter now 'cause I have seen the future
It's amazing, we will fall to our knees
Faster cars and stronger cures
You won't get wet when it's raining and no death penalty
In November of last year, I thought I could use a change
So I quit my job and got myself a home
But it turns out I was wrong, just another wasted year
And the knowledge that a duplex doesn't save
All that time I have wasted
All that time I was wasted
It doesn't matter now 'cause I have seen the future
It's amazing, we will fall to our knees
Faster cars and stronger cures
