Rob McConnell Interviews: Erik Stearns - When Justice Goes Wrong

03/22/17 • 41 min

On February 10, 2004 in Austin, TX, a dog was stabbed. The accused and later convicted, was none other than Erik Stearns. His story begins with that incident on that fateful day. It was later determined that he was the only suspect in the case, merely because he was the only one to complain about the barking dog to the apartment management in person. Later that day, his house was entered and during his apprehension by the law, his house was searched with no plain sight probable cause. There was none. It turns out that the cops never even found a weapon or any tangible evidence and no search warrant. In addition, his name and face were plastered all over the media. This didn't help his case as his court-appointed lawyer would do nothing to represent him thus landing him in jail for a whole year. Upon returning, he tried to connect with his old communities and friends, but found that his name was also slandered by many prominent members of those communities. He was further accused of other things, one of those being of "trying to corner a child". This also was not the case, nor is there any evidence or any other official documentation to substantiate that claim. Yet, these people continue to pursue him, sending slanderous and other attack-oriented emails to his contacts and venues that he performs at, plastering flyers at places where he plays to "educate" the audience, intimidating him, etc. Yet these are the same people whom in the same breath, would tell you all about how they are in the modern "burning times" and how they are persecuted.

Rob McConnell Interviews: Dr. Doug Rokke - Depleted Uranium

DU contaminates land, causes ill-health and cancers among the soldiers using the weapons, the armies they target and civilians, leading to birth defects in children. Professor Doug Rokke, ex-director of the Pentagon's depleted uranium project -- a former professor of environmental science at Jacksonville University and onetime US army colonel who was tasked by the US department of defense with the post-first Gulf war depleted uranium desert clean-up -- said use of DU was a 'war crime'. Rokke said: 'There is a moral point to be made here. This war was about Iraq possessing illegal weapons of mass destruction -- yet we are using weapons of mass destruction ourselves.' He added: 'Such double-standards are repellent.' The latest use of DU in the current conflict came on Friday when an American A10 tankbuster plane fired a DU shell, killing one British soldier and injuring three others in a 'friendly fire' incident. According to a August 2002 report by the UN subcommission, laws which are breached by the use of DU shells include: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the Charter of the United Nations; the Genocide Convention; the Convention Against Torture; the four Geneva Conventions of 1949; the Conventional Weapons Convention of 1980; and the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, which expressly forbid employing 'poison or poisoned weapons' and 'arms, projectiles or materials calculated to cause unnecessary suffering'. All of these laws are designed to spare civilians from unwarranted suffering in armed conflicts.
