Posted on by

“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.”

Posted on by

“In his tweet, Assange called out current and former senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman, respectively, for forcing him into seeking alternative sources of funding which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.  At the time, Lieberman called for the Department of Justice to indict Assange under the 1917 Espionage Act and sought his extradition from the UK for leaking US Embassy cables.”

Posted on by

“Alwaleed said bitcoin ‘doesn’t make sense. This thing is not regulated, it’s not under control, [and] it’s not under the supervision’ of any central bank.  Of course, to bitcoin proponents, those same criticisms are features rather than bugs.”

U.S. widens surveillance to include individuals with no foreign connection

Posted on by

“The change last year to a Department of Defense manual on procedures governing its intelligence activities was made possible by a decades-old presidential executive order, bypassing congressional and court review.  The new manual, released in August 2016, now permits the collection of information about Americans for counterintelligence purposes ‘when no specific connection to foreign terrorist(s) has been established,’ according to training slides created last year by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI).”

Who’s ‘the Harvey Weinstein of’ Sex Work? The Police

Posted on by

“Every week brings a new story of police officers abusing their power to extort sex from women, especially women whom they’ve known to engage in prostitution. Since the start of October, at least five cops and a police dispatcher have made headlines for prostitution offenses, sometimes with underage women.

Cops Claim Teen Consented to Sex — While Handcuffed In Custody

Posted on by

“After their DNA was found on 18-year-old ‘Anna Chambers’ in September, the two Brooklyn narcotics officers who she accused of raping her admitted to sex with the young woman. But they claimed the contact—which occured after police pulled over Chambers on a traffic stop, found loose prescription pills in her bag, and took her into their custody—was consensual. Now they’re trying to discredit her by pointing prosecutors to her ‘provocative’ social-media selfies and to tweets where she lashes out at someone accusing her of lying.”

She’s a Mom and a Sex Offender for Life

Posted on by

“Shawna is a 35-year-old woman who is legally prohibited from taking her kids to the park. That’s because she’s a sex offender.  Years earlier, on her 19th birthday, Shawna and her friends were drinking and celebrating. A teen boy expressed interest in her, and they slept together. He turned out to be 14 years old. His mother notified the authorities.  Now Shawna is spending the rest of her life on the sex offender registry, even though the mother of two is obviously no threat to children.”
