BLUE FORCE TRACKER MAKING NEWS....AGAIN

Russian Rebels To Hand Over MH17 Black Boxes

After 5 days of lies, cover ups, denial, stealing from the dead, and disrespecting the victims of MH17, Russian Rebels will now hand over the "BLACK BOXES" to the Malaysian Government.

Logic would make one ask why wait 5 days? Why lie that Rebels had the boxes when they were caught on camera holding it! The answer is simple, because it was in the best interest of Russia and their masked thugs.

298 people murdered. The largest loss of life for the small country of Holland in a single day since WWII. Holland lost a higher percentage of their population on MH17 than America did on 9-11.

No bodies have been returned to ANY family and many bodies are missing. The victims who were Muslim have had their tradition of burying the dead within 24 hours trampled on by these masked men. Bodies were thrown onto trucks as trash is loaded onto a garbage truck.

I hope everyone is outraged!

Got 15 seconds?... STRIP RUSSIA OF THE 2018 World Cup

Friends:

Take 15 seconds, sign this petition to FIFA to strip Russia of the 2018 World Cup. A country that shoots down civilian jetliners is not worthy of this event nor the BILLIONS of dollars that comes with it

MH17 SHOT DOWN

According to vox.com:

The people lost onboard MH17 represent approximately .0011 percent of the total Dutch population of 16.8 million.

Many more Americans were killed in the 9/11 attacks — 2,624 in total — but because the US population is so much larger (it was roughly 285 million in 2001), the death toll represented .0009 percent of the overall population.

Obviously, it's impossible to compare the immensity of two tragedies like these, but it shows just how much of an impact the crash will have on the small country.

Florida Moves Closer To Equality

Thursday July 17th 2014 was a busy news day. A Malaysian flight was shot down, Israel invaded Gasa with ground forces, and Marriage Equality In Florida inches closer to true equality

According to the Sarasota Herald, a Monroe county judge struck down the ban against same sex marriage being the 25th judge in a row to rule such ban unconstitutional under the "equal protection" clause of the Constitution

Marriage licenses are set to be issued July 22in Monroe county unless a stay is put in place prior

Sarasota Police

In a saddening turn of events, the Sarasota Police Department has lost its accreditation according to The Sarasota Herald Tribune. In an article released June 15 2014, it describes the loss of the departments accreditation. 

Every department of any significant size strives for accreditation as a "pinnacle of excellence". My former dept, The Richardson Police Department was accredited as are local departments such as the Tampa Police Department.

As you will see, every department that is accredited proudly boasts such achievement on their web site. It is an embarrassment that the Sarasota Police Dept has lost their accreditation. 

Essentially they have been downgraded in the eyes of governing bodies of Law Enforcement. Despite any suggestion to the contrary, this is negative. This is a downgrade and our city, and its residents deserve better.

Since her arrival, Chief Bernadette DiPino has been under scrutiny by her piers and doubted by her officers. Many have felt her transition to Sarasota was too big a step from her previous job and not equipped to handle the issues of Sarasota.

To her critics, this latest debacle will only serve as more evidence of her inability to effectively lead the agency. In the past few months, many of her officers have been fired for excessive use of force to most recently a DUI case where an off duty officer crashed into the back of an on duty Lieutenant.

The World Cup Finals Are Set

The 2014 World Cup finals are set. Sunday at 4 pm EST Argentina will face Germany. Two legendary soccer nations will battle it out.

Argentina, the arch enemy of Brazil, playing in the finals within Brazils borders, is sure to get the blood boiling of Brazilians.

Thus its safe to say that Brazil will be cheering on Germany despite their crushing defeat at the hands of the Germans in the semi finals. 

The Dutch would also seemingly back Germany as a European nation to avenge their loss to Argentina yesterday in the semi final match.

WORLD CUP SEMI FINALS

Holland, hands down the best team to never win a World Cup, attempts to advance to the finals today. In an interesting twist, the other 3 teams who made it to the semi finals, Germany, Argentinia, and Brasilia are all teams who beat Holland in past finals

What a perfect year of revenge for the Dutch. But FIRST they must control MESSI AND ARGENTINIA today!

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THOSE MARINES......

What ever happened to the “US Marines urinating on Taliban” case?

by Sharyl Attkisson on July 8, 2014 08:00 PM 1 Comment1,911 Views

Many Americans remember the video posted on YouTube in January of 2012 showing U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan. (VIDEO)

The images provoked international outrage. Some felt the Marines’ unlawful behavior was mitigated by the context of a long and bloody war against a brutal enemy. Others felt there was no excuse.

But few people know what became of the case once it left the public eye: it collapsed under claims of unlawful interference at the highest level of the U.S. Marine Corps. And the key whistleblower leveling allegations is one of the prosecutors: Deputy Judge Advocate Maj. James Weirick.

“I knew something was wrong from the start,” Weirick tells me, explaining that nobody at Marine Corps would answer why Commandant James Amos, a four star general, abruptly replaced the original prosecuting team after just a few weeks. (Weirick is speaking to Blue Force Tracker on his own behalf, not on behalf of the government or military). 

“I think it’s unfortunate that the system of justice was not allowed to run its course,” says Eugene R. Fidell, who teaches military justice at Yale Law School, “as a result of Gen. Amos’s blatantly improper conduct.”

Our smartphone app is already available for download on both iTunes and Google Play, just search for: Blue Force Tracker

We aggregate, report and analyze stories related to the U.S. military and the world in which it operates.

Our intent is to help close the growing civilian-military divide by giving our audience an unbiased, unfiltered and realistic account of what the military does and the world in which they operate — from writers who have "boots on the ground' experience.

Our team of journalists include veterans of the military, intelligence agencies, diplomatic corps, as well as other journalists who share in our vision and have unique, real-world experience on the topics and regions about which they report.

The voice of veterans and those who value unbiased journalism is underrepresented in the media. We aim to change that.

Stay tuned this week from some exciting stories from Afghanistan, Ukraine, Jordan and another exclusive piece from Sharyl Attkisson.

And, as always, thank you for your support.
