In Terrebonne Parish, if you want to expose corruption of local politicians, don't be surprised when cops invade your home and seize your property.

The owner of a Facebook page called "ExposeDat" (similar to the New Orleans Saints' motto WhoDat) was apparently getting too close to the truth, so Sheriff Jerry Larpenter - one of the targets of the anti-corruption blog - executed search warrants to try and stop the exposure.

Local news channel 4WWL reports that the subject of the raid was Houma Police Officer Wayne Anderson, a veteran who previously served as a Terrebonne Parish deputy and a New Orleans Police officer. Anderson denies being involved in ExposeDat.

Deputies seized two laptops from Anderson's home, one belonging to his children, and five cell phones. A warrant was also issued for Facebook account information, showing it to be operated under the pseudonym, John Turner.

ExposeDat has detailed several disturbing events and questionable connections among Larpenter, Parish President Gordon Dove, District Attorney Joseph Waltz, Jr., parish insurance agent Tony Alford and others.

Selecting the President: Election irregularities linked to E-voting machine companies who are large Clinton Foundation donors

From the same people who released the study showing the extraordinarily high probability that Hillary Clinton exceeded exit polling results in states that had no paper trail to use to audit the vote, we now get some even more "interesting" developments.

It seems that Hillary did especially well in which states where the owners of two of the three companies that make and support e-voting machines, donated to the Clinton Fund.
Interestingly, much information has recently come to light about the Clinton candidacy. Notably, the hacker Guccifer 2.0 released documents which he took from the computer network of the Democratic National Committee. Among these files, one tabulated a list of big-money donors to the Clinton Foundation. One fact has gone unreported in the media: Two of the three companies that control the electronic voting market, namely Dominion Voting and H.I.G. Capital (i.e. Hart Intercivic), are in this list of big-money donors.

To examine the possibility that the products linked to these companies had been used to commit electoral fraud, we borrowed the methodology of a paper by Francois Choquette and James Johnson (C&J). Their paper is based on one of the basic principles in the biological and social sciences: As the amount of data increases, the measurement of the average approaches the 'true' average. In other words, as more data is added, the average fluctuates less and less. [...]
You see, these same voting irregularities had been shown to occur in the 2008 and 2012 elections in favor of McCain and Romney, respectively, by the researchers, Choquette and Johnson. In 2008 and 2012, McCain and Romney" were "financially interconnected with two of the major electronic voting companies." Both the companies who donated to the Clinton Foundation share a history of past election controversies and conviction for white collar crimes.

Air Algerie flight AH1020 traveling from Algiers to Marseille returned to Algiers due to a technical problem and landed safely, local media reports. Earlier the plane declared an emergency and subsequently disappeared from radars, prompting panic online.

"Flight AH1020 is currently not tracked by Flightradar24. It's either out of coverage or has already landed," Flightradar24, an internet-based service that shows real-time aircraft flight information said.

The Planefinder.net website was also unable to locate the plane. "The flight you're trying to view has landed or is out of range of our tracking network," a message stated.

Later Flightradar24 wrote on the social media platform Twitter that they believe the aircraft is not missing and that the problem was a technical issue.

A source from Air Algerie told RIA Novosti that the aircraft returned to Algiers due to technical glitch and landed safely. It's been reported the plane is a Boeing 737-600.

Residents of North Tonawanda, New York have rallied around their only black firefighter after a suspicious fire damaged his home just days after he received a racist letter. A recently-fired firefighter has been arrested in connection with the blaze. Volunteer firefighter Kenneth Walker received a threatening letter on Monday, calling him a "n****r," and saying that blacks "are not allowed to be firefighters," and concluding with, "no one wants you in our city." On Wednesday, someone broke into the apartment Walker shared with his wife and two daughters and started a fire.

The North Tonawanda community has responded by rallying around Walker. Residents of the Buffalo suburb have raised more than $100,000 in aid, Buffalo News reported. "It's unnecessary, but we're grateful," Walker said to reporters on Thursday. "We're overwhelmed," said his wife, Amanda. The upstate New York community was shocked to learn that the man responsible for the arson was a former firefighter and Walker's neighbor.

Boat on fire
An American-flagged fishing vessel caught fire while docked in Kaohsiung harbor today, August 4, 2016. Nine fire trucks and two fire boats were dispatched to deal with the blaze.

At 3:13pm, thick smoke and flames erupted from behind the bridge of the 258.4 foot American Eagle. The flames spread to the bridge, but fortunately nobody was trapped on the vessel and no casualties were reported.

Boat on Fire
The cause of the fire is being investigated. It took firefighters more than an hour to extinguish the blaze.

The American Eagle previously caught fire 1,800 miles south of Hawaii and was abandoned by it's crew of 42 on February 10 this year. The crew re-boarded the ship after the smoke and flames abated. Rescue efforts during that incident included the deployment of a HC-130 Hercules airplane.

That'll work... Swedish church plans to barrage ISIS-held areas with bibles

A Swedish church wants to bomb areas controlled by Islamic State in Iraq with mini-Bibles in Arabic. The church argues that people need a reminder that Christian love can reach them, even in places where they are being denied their freedom.

The Livets Ord (Word of Live) church in Uppsala proposes using drones, flying at high altitude, to drop the Bibles, according to the Varlden Idag publication.

"The Bibles are the size of pill boxes and have a display. They require no electricity, but work on their own," Christian Akerhielmm, the mission's director, told SVT.

"Our ambition is to pass on the hope and love of the Christian gospel to a population living in closed areas where they are being denied human rights," he also wrote on the church's website.

"The Bible has been found in all its forms through time, and we want to spread the message to those who need hope, for the Bible's message gives hope."

Comment: Someone should let the church's leaders know that ordinary citizens are perfectly aware of the Bible - Christians and Muslims have lived in peace for generations, and they respect each other in their respective faiths. The money raised would be better spent on the church's existing programs offering real humanitarian aid.

Interview with Public Enemy's Professor Griff: 'Black Lives Matter offers a platform to fight oppression'

Comment: Though Professor Griff is quite often known for his clownish antics on stage, his observations and insights into the Black Lives Matter movement are very astute. We highly recommend watching the full interview included here for an informed, articulate and nuanced description of what BLM is and what its true intentions are.


Professor Griff, co-founder of the legendary hip-hop group Public Enemy, told RT he is skeptical of Black Lives Matter but still believes it has helped broaden his understanding of the challenges African-Americans face.

Professor Griff, whose real name is Richard Griffin, is the Minister of Information for Public Enemy, which, in its 1990s heyday, was a powerful cultural and political force during a tumultuous era for race relations in the United States. Now, as official police brutality and murder of black Americans has become a central theme of organization and attention in the US, Professor Griff told RT America's Watching the Hawks that he sees Black Lives Matter as a vehicle for increased social understanding of America's institutional treatment of black people.

However, he's also concerned that the movement has been co-opted by powerful forces, and that law enforcement and others could easily target the movement's organizers and manipulate its actions.

"I think it's hot and heavy right now, and as we can see, there's different cultures, there's different peoples, nationalities coming together under the Black Lives Matter," he told Watching the Hawks.
