FBI AS SATAN IN CHURCH

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.

Few former fbi agents whistle this tune

No more heinous & insidious cowards are hatched and nourished by the USA than the clandestine assassins of fbi/cia.

https://seekingalpha.com/instablog/436163-geral-sosbee/1929821-public-no...

On July 26, 1908, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was hatched and subsequently nourished by a fearful public, an increasingly corrupt and cowardly congress and a fbi crime spree unprecedented in human affairs.

Victims of a psychopathic society have no recourse

Victims of a psychopathic society have no recourse

sosbee site.jpg

For 20 years I have proven that the fbi, police, USPI and members of the general population commit atrocities against me in a manner that also characterizes this overthrown regime’s unlawful and inhumane assaults on others globally. As I try to bring forth evidence to support my reports in courts and in congress, the crimes against me just “go on & on & on” for 30 years.

Exploring Mayor Lovely Warren’s Time in Office

Submitted by Tianna Mañón, Nilan Lovelace, Michele Ashlee, Vanessa J. Cheeks, Photos by: Michele Ashlee on Thu, 2017-02-02 10:34

Rochester Indymedia and Open Mic are going to be cross posting and collaborating in the coming months on various stories. This is one of the first pieces to be cross posted. We're excited to be working with Open Mic! Check out the original article here: http://www.openmicroc.com/exploring-mayor-lovely-warrens-time-in-office/

Sharing the background of many of Rochester’s black residents, Mayor Lovely Warren’s grandparents migrated north seeking better economic opportunities. And like many of our grandparents, hers didn’t find it either, settling instead for labor.

Graduating from the Rochester City School District, she went on to college, law school, then became a lawyer before working in the community and later leading City Council as the youngest to ever do so.

And then that granddaughter of migrators, sharecroppers, laborers, became Rochester’s first black female mayor.

“If you look at the history of our city we’ve had periods of challenges. And we didn’t look at those and cower down.” -Warren

Mayor Lovely Warren took office in January 2014. However, it hasn’t been an easy three years. In fact, the first year of her term saw a number of scathing reports and criticism from the community. She created security positions in her office, claiming she was being threatened, and then gave them to family members. She was constantly criticized for her handling of the press and many were worried that she wasn’t as good of a pick for Rochester as they’d first hoped.

Going into 2017, Warren hasn’t announced yet if she’ll campaign for re-election. Already James Sheppard, County Legislator for the 23rd District, has announced his campaign for her seat and Rachel Barnhart who recently lost a bid for the State Assembly against Rep. Harry Bronson is toying with a mayoral run as well. Both have charged that Warren has made no change, prompting OM to look at Warren’s time in office.

We looked at four pillars as we examined her “legacy:” development, social justice, violence and crime, and putting Rochester on the map.

Account Creation Policy Change

Rochester Indymedia is now requiring editor approval for account creation.

We came to this decision after we had repeated spam posted to our website that caused difficulty with the website's functioning.  We will still have open publishing and keep our site as nonrestrictive and accessible as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.  As before, we will continue to be Rochester's grassroots news and education site.  Thank you for your continued support and remember, "Don't hate the media, be the media!"

Editorial Meeting Times / Locations

The Rochester Independent Media Center (R-IMC) is no longer meeting regularly.
We will set up meetings by necessity and appointment. Please contact us at rochesterindymedia@rocus.org.
Our home is still the Flying Squirrel Community Space at 285 Clarissa St. Occasionally, we hold meetings at RCTV located at 21 Gorham Street.
