unhappy child
This fall, the University of Kansas will be facilitating a "feminist parenting group," where participants will learn "strategies for raising intersectional feminist children."

KU's Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equality will be hosting at least three meetings this fall meant to "support student-, staff-, and faculty-parents as well as other interested individuals in exploring strategies for raising intersectional feminist children."

"At each session, participants will learn of at least one new skill or resource useful for nurturing intersectional feminist youth." Tweet This

The Center explains its purpose as practicing "intersectional trans-inclusive feminism" in order to "challenge the status quo and promote gender equity by raising awareness of critical issues related to gender and sexism, providing opportunities to translate awareness into action, and empowering individuals to advocate for themselves and others" by approaching subjects "through a social justice lens."

Comment: The feminist ideological brainwashing continues unabated in American universities.

Federal judge's ruling now makes it easier for porn industry to exploit children

A federal appeals court judge just made it a lot easier for the pornography industry to abuse and exploit children for profit.

The Aug. 3 legal decision, which has received far less media attention than it deserves, represents the most significant blow to opponents of child porn in decades. We believe it could lead to a sharp increase in the number of underage performers being exploited due to the removal of legal oversight and penalties for uploading or distributing images that feature minors.

We've been studying the business of porn for years, as scholars, advocates and experts in legal battles. In fact, we provided expert testimony in 2013 in a related court case and endured two hours of grilling from the judge and porn industry lawyers.

The industry is now celebrating its landmark victory. To us, it is a sign of porn's growing power to fight legal battles and free itself from regulatory constraints as its business model rapidly changes in the internet age.

Italy: Doctor lambasted for saying migrants 'should be drowned' as they have no 'human rights'

An Italian doctor, who is reportedly facing disciplinary action after saying migrants should be "drowned," has been lambasted on social media, with furious commentators slamming her as a "hypocrite" and demanding her sacking.

The doctor, from the central Italian region of Umbria, shocked the public when she posted on the 40,000-strong Facebook page 'Doctors Without Escape' the incendiary comments. Her profile name appeared as 'Gloria Burini'.

She called for migrants landing on Italy's coasts to be "drowned" as they do not have any "human rights," unlike, she noted, "abandoned elderly people and poor children from Africa who are starving to death."

The comments were made as authorities in Italy and the EU tried to put an end to the odyssey of 177 migrants who had been stranded for six days off on a rescue boat off the coast of Italy. The 100-meter vessel Ubaldo Diciotti had been in the Sicilian port city of Catania since being rescued off the coast of Italian island Lampedusa on August 15 after being turned away by Malta. Italy has now relented and will take in the migrants after Ireland and Albania agreed to process 39 of them.

Russia willing to lift ban on Telegram if company gives access to its encrypted messages to FSB

Russia's telecom watchdog has reiterated its willingness to consider lifting a ban on popular messaging app Telegram if it agrees to follow a court order to give access to the content of its encrypted messages.

Telegram was ordered last year by a court in Russia to provide decryption keys that would allow law enforcement to read messages of suspected criminals sent through its service. It failed to comply, saying that the order is impossible to follow, since the encryption and decryption of messages is done on user devices. Roscomnadzor (RKN), the Russian telecommunication watchdog, was subsequently authorized to block the service in Russia until it changes its policy.

On Tuesday RKN reiterated its position, saying the ban - the enforcement of which was an ordeal for the office - may be lifted once Telegram gives assurances it follow court decisions.

Telegram does not appear to be changing its stance. A lawyer representing it reiterated that it can only go as far as providing limited data on its individual users, if a court orders it necessary.

Amazon is banning revisionist history books

On August 13, 2018 Amazon banned Judaism's Strange Gods: Revised and Expanded, which was published in 2011 and sold by Amazon for the past seven years. Along with the much larger study, Judaism Discovered, (sold by Amazon since 2008), it has had an international impact both as a softcover volume as well as a digital book circulating on the Amazon Kindle.

Sales to India, Japan and the Middle East were rapidly growing. The digital Kindle format is particularly important for the free circulation of books because it bypasses borders and customs and hurdles over the prohibitive cost of shipping which the US Postal Service imposed on mail to overseas destinations several years ago (eliminating economical surface mail).

Amazon has also banned The Great Holocaust Trial: The Landmark Battle for the Right to Doubt the West's Most Sacred Relic (sold by Amazon since 2010).

These volumes maintain a high standard of scholarly excellence, had a majority of favorable reviews by Amazon customers, are free of hatred and bigotry and have sold thousands of copies on Amazon. Out of the blue we were told that suddenly "Amazon KDP" discovered that the books are in violation of Amazon's "content guidelines." Asking for documentation of the charge results in no response. It is enough that the accusation has been tendered. The accused are guilty until proved innocent, although how proof of innocence is presented is anyone's guess. There is no appeals process. This is what is known as "Tech Tyranny."

Russia plans to increase military roles available to female cadets

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has disclosed plans to expand the list of military roles that can be undertaken by female cadets and students - both in military schools and universities with military education centers.

"Every year we receive hundreds of letters and inquests, we are facing the same question over and over again: why young men can undergo military training and girls cannot? I want to say that since recently the girls also can do it. We will do everything for them to undergo military training, though, naturally, not in all military professions," Sergey Shoigu said on Tuesday as he met with the head of the Khakassia region and the heads of civilian universities in Abakan, South Siberia.

The statement came after one of Shoigu's deputies, Nikolai Pankov, said that, at the moment, a very large number of young Russian women wanted to enter military service and receive military education. He added that competition among women to enter existing military schools is "beyond all limits."

Foolish: Siberian crime boss picks fight with soldiers and gets shot to death

In what may have been the worst decision in his life, a local criminal boss in a Siberian town reportedly picked a fight with soldiers from a passing railroad convoy, only to be shot to death by a guard on duty.

The bizarre incident happened on Monday night at the railway station in Petrovsk-Zabaykalsky, a town of just over 16,000 residents located about 200km southeast of Lake Baikal in Siberia - famous for being the destination of exile for 71 of the officers behind the failed 1825 coup in imperial Russia.

The official military report on the matter is brief and is lacking in details. It simply states that an armed guard of a military convoy lawfully discharged his service firearm when engaging trespassers who ignored his warning shot and attacked the patrol, and that it resulted in one fatality among the attacking party.

Protestors and police officers injured as violence flares again over fatal stabbing of German man by migrants

Protests Chemnitz Germany Aug 2018

Some 20 people, including two police officers, have been injured in fresh unrest between far-right protesters and leftists in the Germany city of Chemnitz. It follows Sunday's mayhem sparked by the fatal stabbing of a German man.

Police announced new data on the wounded at a news conference on Tuesday, as they briefed the press on the Monday evening unrest. Earlier, they said that people were hurt due to fireworks and other objects being thrown around. Around 600 security forces were deployed to the streets, struggling to keep the estimated 6,000-strong far-right rally separate from the group of 1,500 anti-fascist demonstrators.

Some 43 cases were launched for alleged assaults, use of banned organizations' symbols, and misconduct on Monday, according to police.

The clashes were a follow-up to a mass protest on Sunday which saw far-right protesters and anti-Nazi counter-protesters hitting the streets of the eastern German city. The anger and frustration were sparked by the death of a 35-year-old German in a brawl that involved around 10 people from "various nationalities."

Terrorist manual found at New Mexico jihadist compound - FBI was reportedly keeping tabs on the group

new mexico compound
A handwritten document titled "Phases of a Terrorist Attack" was found at a New Mexico encampment where the son of a famous New York Imam allegedly murdered his three-year-old son and trained several children to commit acts of terrorism, reports CNN.
The handwritten document contained "instructions for 'The one-time terrorist,' instructions on the use of a 'choke point,' a location 'called the ideal attack site,' the 'ability to defend the safe haven,' the 'ability to escape-perimeter rings,' and 'sniper position detection procedure,'" according to the court filing.

Some of the children at the compound told police that Morten allegedly "stated he wished to die in Jihad, as a martyr," prosecutors said in the motion.

"At times, Jany Leveille would laugh and joke about dying in Jihad as would Subhanna Wahhaj," according to the court document. -CNN
Prosecutors have asked judge Sarah Backus to reconsider an order granting bond to five adults arrested at the compound - citing "not only the death of three-year-old Abdul Ghani Wahhaj at the remote site, but also plans by the defendants to attack law enforcement and "specific targets such as teachers, schools, banks and other "corrupt" institutions."

The defense, meanwhile, has asked Backus to dismiss the charges.

'We feel like foreigners': German mother on son's alien daycare environment where only 2 in 25 speak German

German mother immigration, migrants Germany
© Facebook / Leen Kroetsch"I'm scared, I'm scared for my son's future and I do not know what to expect next. My son and I feel here like foreigners. Was that intended?" she said, adding that she might be "forced to immigrate someday" herself.
In a polarizing viral video with almost 2 million views, the mother of a 3-year-old boy complains that her son cannot socialize with other kids in a public nursery, as only two out of 25 can speak German.

In a Facebook video post filmed on August 15, the mother, Leen Kroetsch, takes aim at German politicians for what she claims is a botched immigration policy which is forcing her 3-year-old, who has no immigrant background, to adjust to an alien environment in the daycare center.

Kroetsch claims that out of 25 children, her son's group consists of only two without an immigrant background and who can speak German fluently, while the other 23 are unable to understand German at all. At the same time, these other children, according to Kroetsch, can easily communicate with each other while speaking in their mother tongues, which her son obviously does not speak.


Comment: Most politicians are so out of touch with the realities on the ground that they aren't fully cognizant how swiftly they are facilitating the rise of anti-immigrationists.
