The Sandra Bland Bullsh*t.

Almost as if they need a constant supply of outrage to sustain themselves the US "Black Lives Matter (BLM)" have already moved onto a new cause in the form of Sandra Bland.

A heavy marijuana user on July 10th (10/7/15) Ms Bland was driving in the centre lane of a highway in Prairie View, Texas when a police patrol car drew up behind her. In her paranoid state Ms Bland swerved into the inside lane in the hope the police car would pass her without really noticing her. Unfortunately being distracted Ms Bland forgot to signal. This drew further attention to the suspicious move and the officer no doubt ran a vehicle check that established Ms Bland had numerous previous convictions for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), marijuana possession and, I believe, theft. As a result the officer decided to stop Ms Bland.

However rather then issuing her with a ticket the officer instead decided to issue Ms Bland with a written warning about the state of her driving. It was during this conversation the officer noticed that Ms Bland's speech was slurred and there was something just a bit off about her reaction times. He then asked Ms Bland to step out of her vehicle for the purposes of a field sobriety test. Ms Bland refused thus committing a criminal offence authorising her arrest.

Not only did Ms Bland refuse to exit her vehicle she also started to move around within the vehicle which could have been an attempt to reach for a weapon or dispose of evidence such as swallowing her marijuana stash. At this point the officer drew his Taser and told Ms Bland that he would "Light her up." This threat of force was effective and Ms Bland exited the vehicle. As is standard practise both for the safety of Ms Bland and of the officer she was then walked out of the road onto the sidewalk and handcuffed. Ms Bland resisted this attempt to handcuff her and kicked out at the officer before being bundled to the ground, handcuffed and held in a prone position until other officers arrived to transport her to jail.

Having been taken into custody Ms Bland was charged with the more serious offence of assaulting a public official but in an act of charity the lesser charge of DUI/refusal was dropped. With her family being unwilling/unable to pay the 10%, USD500 deposit on her USD5000 bail Ms Bland was remanded in custody. Three days later on July 13th 2015 (13/7/15) she was found dead in her cell having hung herself from a rail in the cell's shower.

The thing about marijuana is that it functions by separating a persons thought process from their wider emotional response. In small doses this isn't really an issue and can actually be quite beneficial. However the problem arises in heavy, daily users of the drug who can go many weeks or even months without experiencing a proper emotion. When users of this type begin to withdraw from the drug after a couple of days without use all those stored up emotions come flooding back and they become overwhelmed. This well known effect was actually how the US planned for the popstar Rihanna to suffer a mental breakdown in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during her 2013 Diamonds World Tour. The idea being that the UAE's strict anti-drug laws would bring about withdrawal triggering a crash.

A jail cell is probably amongst the worst places to experience this type of crash because it's not like you can go for a walk to clear your head. Ms Bland was particularly susceptible because she had a long history of a depressive disorder that led her to attempt suicide and self-harm on numerous occasions and apparently develop a mild form of Munchhausen's syndrome that saw her falsely claim to suffer from other disorders such as PTSD for attention. With previous convictions Ms Bland was also likely to be looking at an extended stay in jail which would likely cost her the new job she was travelling to at the time of her arrest. Ms Bland had previously been long term unemployed.

Therefore this is probably one of the clearest open and shut cases of suicide that you will see. However with Ms Bland being a key organiser within BLM for the movement to accept this they would have to accept that their movement has a tenuous relationship with reality. So instead they've gone into full 9/11 conspiracy theorist mode making things up and trying to twist every detail into evidence of some grand conspiracy.

For example much is being made of the fact that while Ms Bland is around 6ft tall the shower rail stands only 5ft off the ground. Although it is largely kept as a trade secret to avoid further suicides it is entirely false that your feet have to be off the ground in order to hang yourself. The celebrity case is that of Micheal Hutchence although here in the UK there is actually a written rule that you do not report on the specific, technical details of a suicide.

Then there is the mugshot that the police initially released to the media. In the actual mugshot Ms Bland looked a mess. She was dishevelled, her eyes were rolled back in her head and she was slumped against a wall. In short she was just as stoned as the toxicology tests established. However in order to avoid causing the family further distress the picture was cleaned up before being released to the press. Now the actual photograph has been released BLM claim that it was taken after her death.

Ignoring the fact that if the photograph had been taken after her death it would show ligature marks around her neck BLM are pointing to as 'evidence' the fact that Ms Bland was dressed in orange prison clothes which according to the conspiracy theory prisoners do not wear. Just last week we were going through the jail mugshots of Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez - the Chattanooga shooter - from his DUI arrest. He was wearing orange prison clothes.

The most alarming part of the case is that the US Federal government appear to be continuing to indulge BLM and the FBI are investigating the case. Imagine what would have happened if the 9/11 Truth movement were allowed to dictate the US' response to 9/11.
