On Saturday (30/3/13) the District Attorney (head prosecutor) for Kaufman County, Texas was found dead at home alongside his wife. Although investigations into Mike McLelland's death are still ongoing it's is widely believed to connected to the shooting and killing of Kaufman County prosecutor Mark Hasse in the parking lot of Kaufman County Courthouse on January 30th. (30/1/13). Along with the killing of the head of the Colorado prison service both of these killings are likely to be eventually linked to White Supremacist /fascist groups such as the Aryan Brotherhood. However the Kaufman County killings are certainly supposed to look like Texas telling California that if Chris Brown and the prosecutors who've been protecting him are still walking around then gun violence in the US is clearly too low.
In other news held over from last night the US is deploying some of it's top of the range F-22 Raptor aircraft to South Korea in a clear provocation to the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK). It will be interesting to see if the DPRK continues to play along by reacting. After all the excuse the US intends to use to justify inflicting this level of chaos on south east Asia is that it's trying to open up and expose the DPRK's leadership structure to the US' neighbours in the region.
And finally India's Supreme Court has rejected Norvartis' evergreen patent case. This is good news for most people because it should help to ensure the supply of cheap, life-saving generic drugs. It is though of course even better news for the Indian companies that produce and sell these cheap generic drugs.
