SJW laden Evergreen state college hosts lecture equating free speech fight with white supremacy

Evergreen State College, the site of last year's most publicized campus social justice-related fiasco, recently hosted a lecture that equated free speech with white supremacy.

In 2017, the college entered the national spotlight for holding a so-called "Day of Absence" that forced white students out of the campus for a day. One professor's criticism of the event, and his refusal to abide by the decision, prompted progressive student groups to threaten him with violence and accuse him of supporting white supremacy.

On Monday, the Washington-based public college invited a veteran civil rights lawyer, Alan Levine, to host a lecture originally titled "Campus Protests and the Fight against White Supremacy: How the Right Turned a Nationwide Movement Against Racism into a Debate about the First Amendment."

Comment: If people can't have reasonable and open discourse about issues, which may end up offending people, how can we have any progress in society?

Poll: Most Americans want big cuts to legal immigration

Cutting chain migration even more popular than legalizing Dreamers

A government shutdown is in the rearview mirror, but the outlines of a looming immigration deal remain murky with the sides still far apart - though the latest polling suggests President Trump's bargaining position may be strong.

A Harvard-Harris poll taken in the run-up to the shutdown found Americans strongly support granting citizenship rights to illegal immigrant Dreamers. But they also back Mr. Trump's three demands for a border wall, limits to the chain of family migration and an end to the Diversity Visa Lottery.

Most striking of all is the public's demand for lower overall legal immigration - a position that has little traction on Capitol Hill but one that is overwhelmingly popular across the country.

The poll found that most Americans want annual legal immigration capped at 500,000 a year or less - far lower than the current annual rate of 1.3 million.

Facebook censorship pushing alt media to new social networking platforms

I'm suddenly having a much harder time getting my articles in front of people due to a drastic plummet in the amount of views I'm getting from Facebook. According to my Medium account's statistics, I've gone from receiving many thousands of views from Facebook to just a few hundred over the last week or so, and the reach of my FB page has been slashed to a quarter of what it was in the same amount of time.

This likely has something to do with changes that Facebook has announced it is making in its News Feed algorithm, but it's hard to know exactly to what extent or whether anything else is going on. All I know is far fewer people are seeing me on that site now.

It's impacting everyone in alternative media, though.

A new California voter policy could register a potentially massive number of illegals

A new California policy set to go into effect on April 1 could potentially register a massive number of illegal immigrants to vote.

The policy would automatically register adults who obtain or renew a driver's license to vote unless drivers who claim to be legal "opt out." But, since 2015, California has granted illegal immigrants driver's licenses. Thus far, some 1 million illegals have taken advantage and obtained such a license. According to Fox News, under the new policy, "anyone who already has a valid license and applies for renewal in person or by mail could potentially be added to the voter registration rolls by claiming they are legal."

"You're setting the state up for a disaster," said True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht. "They don't seem to have a process in place to verify that people are who they say they are. It's a free-for-all, a process that can be manipulated." Engelbrecht's organization unsuccessfully pressured Democratic Governor Jerry Brown to veto the law.

Linda Paine, who cofounded a nonpartisan organization called Election Integrity Project of California, is also worried about potential fraud.

"There are thousands and thousands of DMV workers across our huge state," Paine told Fox. "They're not all trained. There's no actual protection to prevent noncitizens from being added to voter rolls. It's not even that people who are ineligible want to be registered. They may not know that they have to select 'Opt out.'"

EU court rules 'gay tests' for asylum seekers as persecution, invasion of privacy

The European Court of Justice has ruled it is wrong to question asylum seekers' claims of persecution for their homosexuality. RT guests discuss whether psychological testing is justifiable and what possible alternatives exist.

"An asylum seeker may not be subjected to a psychological test in order to determine his sexual orientation," according to a ruling by the European Court of Justice published on Thursday after a Nigerian man complained of having undergone such testing in Hungary.

"The performance of such a test amounts to a disproportionate interference in the private life of the asylum seeker," the court ruled.

The court's ruling has ignited an ethical debate about the boundaries of the state's interference in one's private life. The court examined the case of an unnamed man from Nigeria, who submitted his asylum application to Hungarian authorities in the city of Szeged in April 2015. At that time Hungary was experiencing a huge influx of asylum seekers from Africa and the Middle East.

US Immigration agents to use thousands of license plate readers on 'hot list' targets

RT
Sat, 27 Jan 2018 20:46 UTC

Federal immigration agents will soon have access to an automatic camera system that can locate and track vehicles in real time. Civil rights advocates worry the technology will be used against Americans.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be able to track billions of license plates with the help of a third-party vendor that specializes in license plate reader (LPR) technology, according to a contract finalized earlier this month.

LPR is a system of high-speed cameras mounted on vehicles or stationary locations that automatically photograph license plates that come in the range of the devices. The system captures an image of the license plate and records the GPS location of the vehicle along with the date and time and other identifiable information.

"Like most other law enforcement agencies, ICE uses information obtained from license plate readers as one tool in support of its investigations," ICE spokesman James Schwab said in a statement obtained by KPIX.

The contract does not specify the commercial vendor, but an ICE representative told The Verge that the data will come from Vigilant Solutions, a leading network for licence plate recognition data.

Rhode Island, Connecticut and Illinois ranked as the 'worst possible states to live'

Around a quarter of Illinois, Connecticut and Rhode Island residents described their state as the worst possible one to live in, according to a survey.

If you live in Illinois, Connecticut or Rhode Island, the chances are you know someone who is not happy. Not happy at all.

Around a quarter of the population living in these regions have described them each as the 'worst possible state to live in', according to a survey.

The map data doesn't explain the nature of the residents' grievances.

However, classic socio-economic indicators would clearly be relevant - including work-life balance, healthcare, crime levels, education, housing, income and the environment.

While 21-25 per cent of people in the Gallup survey ranked these three states as the 'worst', Louisiana and Mississippi also featured prominently - with 17-20 per cent describing the two southern states as the worst.

Stealthy app Bienvenidos could aid illegal border crossings, thwart govt use

Sat, 27 Jan 2018 12:58 UTC

The app Bienvenidos allegedly alerts illegal immigrants to cameras, fences and border patrol agents while crossing into the US, but technical details of its functionality are still shrouded in mystery.

Bienvenidos' anonymous creators posted a YouTube video explaining the program's technology on Monday. But the 72-second clip, which only garnered 59 views, was inexplicably deleted on Wednesday when their website became password-protected, Motherboard reported.

"The world's first community-based navigation app for migration," as it bills itself, was first discovered on Monday in an email pitch from "The Bienvenidos Team" to Motherboard.

The app's website, Bienvenidosapp.com, had claimed it offers undocumented migrants a streamlined means of navigating the hardships associated with border crossing. However, It is not known how many other media outlets received the email besides Motherboard.

Foreign YPG fighters join the fight in Afrin to battle Turkish-led forces

The Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) has seen the arrival of many foreign fighters to help them in their battle against Turkish-led forces in the Syrian northwest canton of Afrin.

The YPG foreign fighter battalion, "international volunteers," announced that they would leave other areas of northern Syria to join in the "struggle".

"We joined the fight against ISIS for years, we will not stay silent while Afrin is being attacked by Turkish occupation army" one foreign fighter said.

Comment: The YPG seem to be unwitting dupes of US plans to carve out a statelets in Syria. The sooner they realize this, the better off they'll be. Until that time, they will remain cannon fodder.

The moral excellence of the Kurdish YPG is a Washington-promoted myth

Unstable Georgetown professor sued for calling German airport police Nazis

RT

An American professor is being sued for slander by German police who allege she called their colleague a 'f**king Nazi' during a heated argument about carry-on liquids at Frankfurt International Airport.

C. Christine Fair, an associate professor at Georgetown University, got into the argument when airport police told her she had too many liquids in her carry-on baggage. As the 49-year-old outlined in a lengthy article on Huffington Post the row escalated over a 'Lady Speed Stick' deodorant which the police confiscated because they said the professor had too many liquids.

Fair argued that the deodorant was a solid and not a liquid and, despite risking missing her flight, she tried to make a complaint to customer service.

During the heated exchange the police allege that she called them "f**king German Nazi police" and "f**king bastards". However Fair, who works for the Rand Corporation, insists she never called the officers Nazis. She admits she did use the word Nazi, but claims she was referring to a man behind her in the line who had a "Hitler youth haircut."

Comment: All that drama over a stick of deodorant that costs a few bucks? Take a look at the hysterical screed she penned for the Huffington Post. In it she manages a dig at Trump and later accuses the German police of targeting her because of her gender. This is the same Georgetown professor called to task for the following:
