You mean like this addicted drug thief murderer and his antifa goons who then threated his sister? I know you are a very smart man ,I do not get it. 11,000 blacks killed by blacks in Chicago in the same time span as less than 50 blacks killed by police and you do not say boo about the real slaughter. One cities murders were more killings than Afgan And Iraq combined. How about reeducation camps for drug addicts shitting all over our cities. making them unlivable? What kind of sociity puts up with totally uncivilized behavior? With immigrants who escapped from their shitholes like Ilhan Omar and their concerns take precedence? Why? Perhaps then they would have a shot of a decent life if 70% fatherless black children had a dad. you think they act like your children? Trying to help drug addicts by keeping them addicts? Oh they have rights to make everyone else miserable. Constitutionally! So no matter the outcome keep up the failed policies. Double down, triple down. Take a trip to any drug zone in this country to see that is an abject failure. Clean up the drug problem and force them to get clean. Oh the horror of not keeping them and us in a constant state of fear. Every drug addict I have evr known was thankful to be clean. ----------------------------------------------------------- EXCLUSIVE: Sister who turned in her Portland antifa protester brother 'under investigation' for shooting Patriot Prayer member reveals he had been estranged from family for years after stealing dementia-riddled mother's medication Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, is 'under investigation' by police in Portland in connection with Saturday's fatal shooting of Aaron Jay Danielson Reinoehl hasn't been formally named as a suspect, nor been arrested or charged His sister April reported him to police after recognizing him in photos and videos She said after the shooting, she received death threats and more than 60 threatening phone calls and messages Some were from members of Patriot Prayer, the right wing group Danielson had joined in a protest that weekend April told DailyMail.com that her brother had been estranged from their family for three years after stealing medication from their mother who has dementia She claimed for years he would verbally abuse and bring their mother to tears, manipulating her into giving him what little spare money she had ‘I would describe him as a jerk, verbally cruel sometimes when he’s not getting his way,’ April added She opened up the family album and shared photos of a young Michael, explaining he went into a downward spiral when his snowboarding career ended April said she had never known her brother to be physically violent, and did not know if he owned a gun By JOSH BOSWELL FOR DAILYMAIL.COM PUBLISHED: 10:42 EDT, 2 September 2020 \| UPDATED: 10:42 EDT, 2 September 2020

Interesting news flow, and if true, could suggest that Pompeo, Navarro, and Bannon are either working for and/or duped by ... the Russians, or by other people who appear to be Russians and could be Russians In any case, do not know who, but played, being played, and shall be played. Very extremely expensive once Nasdaq craters. Wondering what would be the trigger. reuters.com Duped by Russia, freelancers ensnared in disinformation campaign by promise of easy money Jack Stubbs LONDON (Reuters) - When freelance journalist Laura Walters submitted a 1,000 word article about Chinese political influence in New Zealand to her new editors at non-profit media outlet Peace Data, the response was emphatic. Freelance journalist Laura Walters is pictured near her home after speaking to Reuters about working unknowingly for a fake news outlet which Facebook says was part of a Russian disinformation campaign, in London, Britain, September 2, 2020. REUTERS/Toby Melville “I’d like to express our deep gratitude for your work,” wrote Peace Data communications manager Alice Schultz in a June 15 email seen by Reuters. “It’s hard to believe how totalitarian countries like China (or Russia) are finding their ways to meddle even in the strongest democracies around the globe.” But that email, from a person claiming to be Schultz, now appears to have been a small part of one such meddling attempt. Acting on a tip from the FBI, Facebook and Twitter said on Tuesday they had identified Peace Data as the centre of a Russian political influence campaign targeting left-wing voters in the United States, Britain and other countries. The website succeeded in tricking and hiring freelance journalists to write articles about topics including the U.S. presidential election, the coronavirus pandemic and alleged Western war crimes, Facebook said. Email correspondence reviewed by Reuters and interviews with six journalists commissioned by the website show how the writers were approached on social media, paid up to $250 per article and some times encouraged to insert political angles into their work. A person who identified themselves as Bernadett Plaschil, an associate editor at Peace Data, told Reuters via email: “We’re really confused by these accusations and deny all of them.” The person declined to speak via phone or video call. The news about Peace Data follows warnings that Russia is attempting to sway the outcome of November’s election after what U.S. intelligence officials have said was a concerted effort to boost the campaign of President Donald Trump in 2016. Russia has repeatedly denied those allegations and the Kremlin did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Peace Data on Wednesday. “I actually referenced the Russian 2016 interference in the article I wrote,” UK-based Walters, who was paid $250 to write the story for Peace Data in June, told Reuters. “I appreciate the irony right now.” OLD SCHOOL TACTICS Peace Data “staff” approached Walters and other authors online, usually in private messages on Twitter or business networking site LinkedIn. They offered between $100 to $250 for an article and paid promptly via internet money transfers, the writers said. All of the writers contacted by Reuters, some of whom requested anonymity due to fears of professional repercussions, said they had no knowledge about the website’s Russian backing before Tuesday. Some of the journalists said they viewed the work as an easy way to ear money during the coronavirus outbreak. Others were aspiring reporters looking for a break. “My first published article on an independent news source,” one of the writers said when posting their work on social media in May. While some of the authors said there was no overt political direction from the Peace Data staff, others said the website’s editorial line made them uncomfortable. “There was an over-stated political angle put into my stories,” said one journalist who wrote for Peace Data about Turkey and the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. “It rapidly stopped being a news article as they kept asking for more focus on political topics with a particular spin,” the person added. Russia’s use of fake organisations to ensnare unwitting agents and activists as part of its propaganda efforts dates back to the Soviet Union, said Thomas Rid, a professor at John Hopkins University and author of Active Measures, a book about political warfare. As efforts to catch online influence operations have increased since 2016, “defaulting back to some of the old school tactics appears to be what they are doing to try to stay hidden,” he said. Walters said her experiences showed the importance of improving public awareness about efforts to deceive people online. “The level of sophistication, the effort that’s gone into it... they obviously think it’s worth it and it’s going to amount to something,” she said. “So I feel like if I can be fooled by something like this, anyone could be,” she added. “But it’s probably the most interesting thing that’s going to happen to me for a very long time.” Additional reporting by Raphael Satter in Washington; Editing by Chris Sanders and Edward Tobin Sent from my iPad
