Dancing Is Finally Legalized in New York City
"This cruel intervention was about more than just 'the man' prevailing over embattled minorities. It was designed to stop the race mixing that people associated with dance clubs."
$500,000 settlement for nurse arrested for opposing forced blood draw
Body cam footage from the scene shows University Hospital nurse Alex Wubbels calmly telling the officer, who was trained for the task of blood withdrawal, that he cannot take a blood sample because the patient, who was involved in a vehicle crash, had neither been arrested nor gave consent. Then the cop lunges and grabs the nurse as she was fearfully backing away. He rushes her outside the hospital, and handcuffs her. All the while, she's screaming that there's no reason for her detainment.
NSA wanted to use the Espionage Act to prosecute a journalist for using FOIA
"The declassified memos and briefings from NSA confirm that this was more than just an intimidation tactic or a passing thought - the NSA had truly wanted to jail a journalist for his use of public records. When the Agency determined that this was unlikely to happen, they moved on to exploring other legal avenues which could be used to punish Bamford for his FOIA work."
French Gov’t Has Paid Out Nearly $600,000 To ISIS Fighters In Syria
"Jihadis have claimed unemployment benefits and family allowance for years while living in Syria. Over the past five years, some 500,000 euros ($583,200) have gone directly from the French taxpayers to the terror group, according to the report. Other European countries have uncovered similar problems. Close to every person who left Sweden to fight for terror groups in the Middle East received welfare, according to a government report."
‘Dislike’ and ‘Unfriendliness’ Can Be Hate Crimes, UK Police Confirm
"National bodies, including the College of Policing (CoP) and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), both admit there is an 'absence of a precise legal definition of hostility', with the latter also referring individual forces onto 'dictionary definitions' for the purpose of investigating hate crimes. Dictionary definitions include a wide range of normal human behaviours and emotions, and images on social media suggest police officers are being told to look out for 'unfriendliness' as a sign of a hate crime. The CPS also mentions 'ill-will, ill-feeling, spite, contempt, prejudice, unfriendliness, antagonism, resentment, and dislike' as examples of hostility that could be taken from a dictionary."
Kaspersky Software Vilified For Catching Classified NSA Malware
"The antivirus software was doing exactly what it was supposed to do, sweeping up computer malware, and collecting data for analysis to improve their ability to fight off such attacks in the future. And that’s exactly what customers are paying for with such companies’ software, and the big problem the US has with Kaspersky seems not to be that it is Russia-based, but that it worked so well it detected their brand new malicious software."
Trumps Extends Official JFK Cover-Up For Another 50 Years
"I believe that the CIA, as part of its deal with Trump, will order its assets in Congress to cease and desist with respect to that investigation. In my opinion, that’s the price the CIA had to pay in return for its continued cover-up of its U.S. regime-change operation in November 1963."
Rand Paul’s USA Rights Act Would Protect Us From NSA Spying
"It fixes the 'backdoor search loophole,' which now allows warrantless searches of the NSA-collected contents of Americans’ communications. It extends broad oversight powers to an independent agency. It guarantees the end of a controversial type of data search (called “about” searches) that the NSA suspended earlier this year. It improves judicial oversight of the government’s surveillance regime. It provides better transparency and requires stricter reporting."
Pentagon Plan for Female Draft Registration Moving Forward
"The Pentagon is moving forward with pressuring Congress to add women to the Selective Service program, which will make virtually all young people eligible for the military draft."
A U.S. Soldier Died in Niger. What on Earth Are We Doing There?
"If you were surprised to learn the U.S. has nearly a thousand troops in Niger, you’re not alone. Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who serves on the Armed Forces Committee, told NBC he 'had no idea.' Neither did Chuck Schumer, the Senate’s top Democrat. Well, the surprises may keep coming."
