Justice for Kenneth Chamberlain Sr.
Flyby News is updating this issue that was initially posted on 29 March 2012. The case of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr. is a powerful indictment on the loss of justice and human rights in the US. An elderly marine veteran was fatally shot by police in his home when they responded to a questionable medical emergency. The police broke down his door by removing its hinges, entered his premises, tasered, and then fatally shot Mr. Chamberlain around 5:00 AM on November 19, 2011. His son was on the phone, called by a neighbor at the time of the shooting. The event was also recorded by Mr. Chamberlain’s medical alert device. Kenneth Chamberlain Jr.’s March 29th interview on Democracy Now relays what was recorded that is still being withheld from the public by an unjust system.
Kenneth Chamberlain Jr.
“..And when you see that video, which I wish was public,
because I think that the grand jury is used as a shield,
and it shouldn’t be. It’s a shield for people who have committed
crimes and generally a shield for law enforcement, because, again,
these same videos are made public, very public, when they involve
civilians who are charged. And I think that the shielding provision of
the grand jury, the secrecy provision, is to prevent people from
organized-being threatened by organized crime figures,
not to protect you from your own police department.”

Death
The unknown journey tells us of lives past,
What’s behind the sky and how long we can last.
Blight and perish, then return Creation to your chore never ending,
Though it appears dim sometimes because the tunnel winds,
But beyond the next bend the illumined mind might find a permeating ray.
O’ divine mystery, naked before my thoughts,
Such grandeur and majesty, am I truly worthy?
Embracing life, colors blend, light filters through,
I am what I am.
The only death that came to be was to that of mystery,
As life has a way of renewing and cleansing,
And with the purpose of growth, the spirit will always be unending.

Flyby News – 29 March 2012 – Jonathan Mark
Editor’s Notes: The significance of what was reported in our prior issue of Flyby News regarding Controlled Opposition is hopefully still being absorbed by those wondering what happened to the 9/11 truth movement around its tenth anniversary. It is difficult to consider it a movement at this point. Yet many realize that 9-11 was a false flag (cover-up) operation used to lead our world into chaos and oppression. The lack of response I received on this issue shows how effective controlled opposition has become, and how confusing and depressing it is to deal with. Yet the news keeps on pouring through, showing how humankind’s survival through this Century is questionable. Updated today is an important interview segment aired today on Democracy Now! This interview needs to go virile. You will be moved if you watch it to take some action. Exposure on this crime, which occurred last November, is vital for justice to survive in the US, and for human rights.

Gently breathing within me,
The sunset horizon of western sky
touch my mind, I feel its flow
and see an indescribable picture;
And the most I can show,
the poetry of my nature,
Not less than nor more than the above,
But a force one with the horizon of love.
O’ Great Spirit,
Force through all nature,
Maker of the universe..
I AM.

I hope many will watch the video on the case of Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr. I have been communicating with his son and feeling much from this case for many reasons. It is personally intensified for me by my dad’s passing around the same time of this tragic incident, which happened last November. From a medical response by police that turned into their shooting a man in their own home, one would think everyone whould have heard about it. Meanwhile even the name of the policeman who shot Kenneth Chamberlain had not been released. The facts in this case demand greater transparency and exposure. When it gets really dark, we need to bring in the light..
Please do what you can. Thank You.

Thank you for signing my petition, Justice for Kenneth Chamberlain Sr..
To really make a difference, we need a lot more people to join in. Can you share this petition with all your friends?
Thanks!
—Kenneth Chamberlain, Jr.
Here’s a sample message to send to your friends:
———————————————————————————-
Hi,
On November 19, 2011, at approximately 5 a.m., my father, 68-year-old Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr., was at his home located at 135 S. Lexington Avenue in White Plains, New York.
He was a 20-year veteran of the Westchester County Department of Corrections, and he proudly served the United States of America as a Marine, receiving an honorable discharge. He stood about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and he suffered from a heart condition.
His medical alert device sent an alert to his service provider, which placed a call to the City of White Plains Department of Public Safety. In response to the call, police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians went to my father’s home. Once at his house, the police knocked on my father’s door and were verbally greeted by him. He told them that he did not need assistance and that there was no medical emergency. He told them that he did not call them.
Despite being told that there was no need for their serv ices, the police refused to leave and insisted that my father let them into his home.
My father had not committed any crime, and he declined to let them into his home. My father communicated with police at length, and his medical alert service provider advised the White Plains Police Department that they wanted to withdraw their request for medical assistance because there was no emergency. Despite this information, the police continued to insist that they gain an entry to my father’s apartment.
During the incident, the police banged on my father’s door over and over again, causing him to fear for his life. In fact, my father contacted his medical alert service provider while the police were banging on his door and asked them for help. He told them that the White Plains Police employees were outside his door and were going to kill him. The medical alert service provider recorded the communications between the police and my father. During the incident, the police were disrespectful to my father and threatened him as he stood in his apartment and told them that he just wanted to be left alone.
The police continued to bang on my father’s door for approximately an hour. During that time they taunted my father, cursed at him, and called him a “nigger.” They ultimately broke through his apartment door and forced their way into his apartment, all without his consent. Upon entering his home, and without warning or prior verbal warnings or orders, police immediately used a Taser weapon against my father and attempted to shock him with the Taser’s electricity. My father was standing approximately six to eight feet away from the officers, and he was wearing nothing but boxer shorts when the police began their assault against him.
After using the Taser against my father, everything else is questionable except for the fact that two 40 caliber rounds were fired into my father which resulted in his death. In my opinion my father was murdered!
We are asking the Westchester County D.A. to bring a criminal indictment, and we call on the United States Department of Justice or the New York State Attorney General to prosecute this as a hate crime, since it appears that his killing was motivated by hate.
That’s why I signed a petition to Janet DiFiore, District Attorney, which says:
“This petition is regarding the upcoming Grand Jury hearing in the case of Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr., an unarmed elderly black citizen who was shot to death by the White Plains Police Department.
This case not only brings into question the policies and practices of this department; but it is an open question whether it was inevitable, particularly in light of the audio tapes and video tapes witnessed by Mr. Chamberlain’s family members and attorneys where racial slurs and expletives were used before ultimately shooting him twice in the chest and killing him.
It is imperative that those tapes be made available to the Grand Jury, and that all other evidence be presented as well. I am concerned that secrecy so far–for example, the names of officers involved have not been released–bodes badly for transparency in this case as it moves forward. Nor am I aware of any public statements about the case from elected officials calling for openness.
Members of Mr. Chamberlain’s family and community–and a much wider circle of people who need to know there is fairness in the criminal justice system–seek reassurance that, no matter what the verdict, the process has been open, honest, and just.
We, the undersigned, implore Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore to no longer allow police misconduct, brutality, or criminality to happen in this community and ask that these officers be indicted and charged with murder and civil rights violations.”

This is so sad. How on earth could the police get it so wrong, when the poor man was in his own home? I am often baffled at modern society. Since I turned 60, I think I have been moved to another planet… My heart goes out to this man´s family. May God bless you all.
Veronica, thanks so much for your comments and awareness. Too many are desensitized.. Let’s hope a fair federal investigation proceeds. Our being shocked by such an attack on an elderly citizen in his home is hopeful and helps us demanding transparency and human rights in this case.
