In US, California, Maile Hampton, a black 20-year-old woman and local political activist, was arrested this past Monday with charges of felony “lynching.” 

Under Californian law, "lynching" is associated with freeing an individual from Police custody.

On January 18, 2015 a pro-law enforcement right-wing rally was taking place. Hampton and fellow activists with ANSWER Sacramento—an anti-war, anti-racism group—showed up to counter-protest. Their action, the US media suggests, was rooted in the “Black Lives Matter” movement.

However, the US media forgot to mention that besides being an anti-war, anti-racism group, ANSWER Sacramento is also a pro-Palestinian group. You can see in the picture above Maile Hampton holding a `Stop US aid to Israel' banner. Her lips are sealed with a tape, written `Palestine' all over it!

Such insiduous actions, targeting pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist, anti-war, anti-Israel activists and intellectuals, through some other trumped up charge, are taking place all over US. The Zionist lobby in the US is paying millions of dollars to law enforcement agencies to book pro-Palestinian activists `on the sly'.

This is almost like Zionists are running a parallel State in the US, subverting the real US State whose office holders are elected by the people.

Speaker Boehner inviting Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu to address the US Congress without consulting the White House is an example of the Zionist run parallel State in US at the macro level.

But at the micro-level, the targeting of Hampton type anti-Zionist activists passes unknown as media blacks out the coverage.       

You can see how Hampton was arrested in the Video attached with this article. On 18th January, 2015, at the 0:06 mark, a police OFFICER is holding a protester in the street. One woman tries to grab him from custody. 

Soon after, Hampton appears in the screen to the OFFICER’s right, holding a megaphone and a yellow sign, yelling in the cop’s face (her hair is in a bun). 

At the 0:12 mark in the video, she grabs an individual also being held by the police. Then she runs off.

As you’ll notice, multiple individuals are scuffling with police in this video. Hampton is the only one facing charges so far.

Later in the video, a different man is taken into custody.

The “lynching” charge was thus slapped falsely on Hampton; it is felony and is punishable by up to four years in prison in California!

Sacramento police spokesman explained in a text message that “several protesters blocked traffic on Capitol Mall and when OFFICERS attempted to detain, cite, and ultimately release for Impeding traffics, some protesters resisted and [Hampton] pulled prisoners from police’s custody."

Apparently, according to an official release, "Sacramento DA’s OFFICE reviewed the case and filed charges, and Sacramento Superior Court sighed an arrest warrant based on the facts of the case."

After Hampton’s arrest this past Monday night, she was held in county jail for nearly 24 hours, but was released on Tuesday at around 10:30 p.m. without arraignment. She is scheduled to appear in court on March 16.

Just before her release from jail, nearly two dozen individuals spoke out on Hampton’s behalf at a city council meeting, asking Mayor Kevin Johnson and members to “Free Maile,” as their many signs read.

Estevan Hernandez, an activist with ANSWER Sacramento, says Hampton has been involved with the group since this past summer. She as a big part of the post-Ferguson “Black Lives Matter” movement.

Media blacked out Hernandez's comment that his group is also pro-Palestine! 

Hernandez says that during the January 18 protest, police tried to “violently” suppress the counter-protestors. He cited the above video.

He also says the video is evidence that Maile is innocent. “It’s totally trumped-up charges, it’s a grave exaggeration. What this is really about … it’s a revenge case. That’s what it really is.”

Hernandez says police are TARGETING leadership of the ANSWER Sacramento group on the heels of Ferguson, the Black Lives Matter and the anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian movement!

Sacramento police had yet to respond to requests made by alternative media to comment on and discuss Hampton’s case as of this morning. 

Hampton posted a message to her Facebook friends earlier this morning:
