Founder of Proud Boys quits after FBI labels the group 'extremist'

Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes has quit the group one day after it was revealed the FBI considers the neo-fascist gang to be an "extremist" group.

McInnes, who co-founded Vice before leaving the media company in 2008, made the announcement in a 36-minute video posted Wednesday on YouTube.

"As of today, Nov. 21, 2018, I am officially disassociating myself from the Proud Boys, in all capacities, forever. I quit," he said.

McInnes said his reasons for leaving the group are connected with an incident that took place last month after he spoke at the Metropolitan Republican Club in Manhattan.

Proud Boys members violently assaulted leftist protesters in Manhattan's Upper East Side after the protest, and at least nine were arrested days later.

"I'm told by my legal team and law enforcement that this gesture could help alleviate their sentencing," McInnes said. "Fine. At the very least, this will show jurors they are not dealing with a gang and there's no head of operations."

Thanksgiving might be dominated by football, but the catch of the week was made by a Dallas man who caught a one-year-old baby after the mother dropped it out of a burning building in order to save it.

As fire engulfed the apartment building in northeast Dallas on Wednesday, not everyone thought they would make it out alive. One mother and father punched out their third-floor window to escape the blaze, but couldn't risk jumping with their one-year-old infant.

"It was terrifying," mother Shuntara Thomas told WFAA-TV. "I didn't know if I was going to come down with her or if that would be the last time that I was holding my child."

Gazprom Export, the export arm of Russian gas giant Gazprom, has stopped the natural gas auctions on its electronic sales platform because all natural gas available until the end of 2018 has already been sold, a source close to the issue told S&P Global Platts on Wednesday.

Gazprom Export launched on August 17 its Electronic Sales Platform (ESP) for physical natural gas sales to European consumers, in addition to supplies under existing contracts. The Russian firm expects the platform "to become an additional mean to optimize supplies of gas," Elena Burmistrova, Director General of Gazprom Export, said.

Sales via the ESP began on September 20, and according to Gazprom Export data, no auctions have been held since last Friday, November 16.

"There are no auctions as all of the gas available in balance has been sold till the end of the year," the source close to the process told Platts.

Flashback SOTT Focus: John F. Kennedy and the Monolithic and Ruthless Conspiracy

Comment: This is the concluding article in a series of 12 articles written in 2006 commemorating (at the time) the 43rd anniversary of the assassination of JFK. This day, November 22nd, 2018, is the 55th anniversary of what can, in hindsight and in Truth, be called the Day America Died.

Anyone who has taken the time to study the facts about that fateful day in Dallas, TX, will already know that JFK was deliberately murdered by a cabal of psychopathic warmongers who were opposed to his plans for a more peaceful world. That same cabal is still in power today, and it has extended its reach across the globe.

You can find the rest of the JFK series here. You can also purchase a Kindle of the whole series on Amazon.

If you do nothing else, just take the time to watch the Sott.net/QFG produced version of 'Evidence of Revision', a three disc set that presents archive footage that will leave you in no doubt who killed JFK and why.


John F. Kennedy and the Monolithic and Ruthless Conspiracy

Image
As I mentioned in the previous chapter of the present series, I was 11 years old and in my 6th grade classroom when the news of John F. Kennedy's assassination was first broadcast. I was not ignorant of the idea that evil existed in the world, but I thought about it as something that was personal, local even, not some sort of global juggernaut stalking whole societies. John Kennedy's assassination was the event that changed all that.

Even though I was not able to fully comprehend it then, years later I was better able to articulate the raw, horrifying face of evil I had seen on that sunny November day in 1963. I didn't know then that Kennedy himself had already seen it and described it:
For we are opposed, around the world, by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy...
Well, of course, George W. Bush says the same thing, doesn't he? The difference is, Kennedy died for saying it, Bush didn't. That suggests that Kennedy had in mind the real conspiracy, and Bush either doesn't have a clue, or is busy directing attention away from it.

The Guardian starts a new column from inside Amazon: 'They treat us as disposable'

In The Amazon Diaries, our anonymous insider takes us behind the scenes at an Amazon fulfillment center where workers are 'an extension of the machine'

Welcome Amazonians. It is always Day 1. Are you ready to make a difference?

It was my first day as a seasonal Amazon worker, hired just prior to peak season. Our site operations manager was like many Amazon managers: an ex-military white male, in his late 40s and wearing straight-fit jeans and a T-shirt with "Amazon Military" emblazoned on the front. He drew a line alongside an inverted pyramid, writing "least important" on the bottom and "most important" higher up, with the word "customer" scrawled along the very top.

"Where do you think Jeff Bezos sees himself on this chart?"
