cop steals hay
A tech savvy New Mexico farmer says he caught a Valencia County Sheriff's deputy stealing from his farm, and is now demanding justice. Matthew Chavez told KRQE News 13 he knows who the police officer is who's been stealing from him because he caught him on camera and says he used to purchase hay from him but has resorted to stealing it now.

Chavez told reporters he had given Deputy Fred Torres many opportunities to come clean and admit he was stealing from Chavez but the officer did not. So, the farmer took the surveillance photos to the police department and filed a criminal complaint against him.

The mild-mannered farmer set a trap for the police officer by setting up a wildlife camera in an area where he says he noticed his hay disappearing.
I noticed a little bit of hay each time missing so that's what made me go put up the camera and it was right there in plain sight.

Cops give man UFC-style beating after traffic stop

police brutality
Richard Hubbard, arguably, should not have been driving with a suspended license. He also, should not have been uncooperative when police asked him to step out of the vehicle he was driving. But neither offense, in the minds of many objective observers, deserved the several minutes long beat down he received at the hands of Euclid police.

Because so much of the traffic stop is unknown, as only the second half of it was recorded by a spectator, there are many unanswered questions. But what is known is Hubbard appeared to be complying with police, yet was violently arrested with actions that included punches to the head, knees on the skull, twisting and turning of arms, hands, and fingers. All in all, Hubbard was horribly manhandled.

Adding insult to injury, his friend, who was recording the incident was also placed in handcuffs in a clear violation of her First-Amendment right to record police interactions. From the video, it seems she never once, although we are sure she wanted to, attempted to intervene in the violence.

ACLU confirms Charlottesville police told to 'stand down', did nothing to stop the ensuing chaos

The ACLU confirmed late Saturday that police were given stand-down orders in Charlottesville. This invited violence and only fueled the chaos.
The events that unfolded in Charlottesville, Virginia this Saturday were tragic, hateful, insidious, and even deadly. Saturday will go down in history as the day America's hate reared its ugly face and proved to the world that this country is being divided - to be conquered. Adding fuel to the fire of hatred and violence were politicians who told police not to intervene and allowed the unchecked carnage to unfold before their eyes.

The stand down was confirmed by the ACLU who quoted a police source saying, "We'll not intervene until given command to do so."

This command never came.

There is no shortage of violent footage of clashes between neo-nazi white supremacists and counter protesters from Antifa and the like. Multiple violent battles raged on for several minutes as blood spilled onto the streets of this college town. Only several feet away were police officers - who did nothing to stop it.

Comment: It's beginning to look like those who are inciting the next 'color revolution' within the U.S. are being given free rein to do so by the PTB.

Over 70 children die in Indian hospital tragedy, government denies unpaid oxygen supply bill as cause

More than 70 children have died in less than a week in a public hospital in India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh, allegedly caused by a cut in the facility's oxygen supply due to unpaid bills.

Some 23 of the children, including many newborns, died within 24 hours on Thursday.

The hospital, the largest in Gorakhpur, was without liquid oxygen for at least two hours on Friday as the firm supplying it allegedly stopped the flow to the hospital, local media report.

The unpaid bills amounted to little more than $10,500, according to reports. It is the second time this year the company has stopped supply for the same reason.

"Deaths due to oxygen shortage would mean a despicable incident," Uttar Pradesh's chief minister said, promising to "not spare anyone found guilty" of involvement in the tragedy.

I stumbled across an article in my newsfeed a few minutes ago titled "Julian Assange Says Clinton Campaign Manager Podesta Had 7,300 Child Porn Images", from an outlet called Hub Pages. The article, archived here, does not have a visible social media share tally or a page view count so I can't comment on how much it's been circulated, but I can't be the only one whose newsfeed it wound up on.

To support its central claim, this clickbait article cited a tweet from the Twitter handle @Real_Assange, which as of this writing currently has 2,541 retweets and 3,467 likes.

The Russian Air Force will begin training female military pilots for the first time since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said.

"There are so many young women who want to become military pilots. We receive hundreds of letters [from them]," Shoigu told journalists.

"Therefore, we decided that this year we'll recruit the first group of women to the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School," he added.

Fifteen female cadets will begin their training program to become military pilots on October 1, Shoigu said.

"There will not be many of them... but given the number of applications received to the Air Force, we can't ignore those requests," he said.

7yo girl helps track down two missing sisters in Iraqi orphanage shown in RT coverage

A seven-year-old girl has helped her two missing friends, sisters living at an orphanage in Bagdad, find their relatives in Dagestan. She spotted them when watching an RT video about children whose parents were killed fighting alongside Islamic State.

Malikat spotted Fatima, 3, and Hadija, 5, quite by accident. Her mother had left her mobile phone on the table, and Malikat didn't miss the opportunity to play with it. She couldn't take her eyes off the screen when she saw her former neighbors, camera-shy Hadija and Fatima, appearing in a clip featuring five missing children.

"Our grandparents live in the city, very far from here. What's the name of the city? I don't know. Here we lived in Mosul. We were bombed, there was no food. Dad went to work: he distributed diesel, gasoline and water. Then everything burned to the ground, even the water, and they gave him another job," Hadija is heard saying.

Over the past three days, RT has received multiple calls from people who said they recognize children seen in the video from an orphanage in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, aired earlier in August. RT showed Russian-speaking children whose parents, allegedly Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants, were killed in fighting.

James Damore google memo
James Damore, author of the Google Memo
James Damore, a software engineer at Google, wrote a memo in which he argued that there are differences between men and women that may explain, in part, why there are fewer women than men in his field of work. For this, Google fired him.

Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, sent Google employees a memo saying that "much of what was in that memo is fair to debate," but that portions of it cross a line by advancing "harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace."

burning torches Charlottesville rally
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe urged Virginians to stay away in a statement released hours before a planned "Unite the Right" rally that could bring thousands of white nationalists, neo-Confederates, alt-right activists, and counter protesters to Charlottesville.

"In advance of [Saturday's] rally there have been communications from extremist groups, many of which are located outside of Virginia, who may seek to commit acts of violence against rally participants or law enforcement officials.

"In the event that such violent or unlawful conduct occurs, I have instructed state public safety officials to act quickly and decisively in order to keep the public and themselves safe," Governor McAuliffe's statement read. "I want to urge my fellow Virginians who may consider joining either in support or opposition to the planned rally to make alternative plans.
