The UK's top counterterrorism police officer says the mainstream media are helping spread Islamic State propaganda. Mark Rowley will discuss the balance of public interest in reporting on terrorist organizations today in Cambridge.

Rowley is expected to tell the conference that up to 50 percent of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) propaganda can be found published on media websites or in newspapers, and is only available to a very small audience on encrypted channels before it spreads through news reporting.


Comment: Did you get that? If over the past few years you've been terrified, out of all proportion, by the idea that 'ISIS' jihadis are coming to get you, then it's not surprising given that the Western press has gone out of its way to make sure you are terrified.

Much of 'ISIS' propaganda would normally languish on websites in the farthest reaches of the internet, but Rita Katz (the daughter of an Israeli Mossad agent) and her 'SITE' intelligence group, dedicates herself to digging up ISIS trash on the web and shoving it in your face via the mainstream media. Aren't you grateful that Katz is spending her time promoting a jihadi agenda and scaring the pants off you in the process?


The debate will look at the balance between the public interest of reporting terrorist attacks and police concerns.

Elizabeth Perkins holds sign with James Woods' name at #MeToo march

Elizabeth Perkins James Woods
Actress Elizabeth Perkins hoisted a cryptic sign featuring the name of actor James Woods high above her head at a sexual misconduct protest in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The sign included Woods' name and the hashtag #MeToo, which has been used on social media to encourage people to come forward with their stories of sexual harassment or assault.

It's unclear what motivated Perkins to call out Woods. A rep for the actress did not respond to a request for comment, nor did a rep for Woods.

The rally took place on Hollywood Boulevard, where people walked in support of victims as part of the #MeToo Survivors March and the Take Back the Workplace March.

Comment: Given James Woods' public support (mostly via Twitter) of Donald Trump and traditional, conservative values, Perkins' sign looks a lot like a threat.

Wonder Woman star threatens to boycott sequel if Brett Ratner is involved

The star of the Wonder Woman movie is reportedly threatening to quit the movie series unless Warner Brothers cuts ties with a Hollywood producer accused of sexually harassing multiple women.

Gal Gadot, the star of "Wonder Woman," allegedly told Warner Brothers that the company would need to cut its contract with Hollywood producer Brett Ratner if they wanted her to return for the next movie installment, an unnamed source told Page Six Saturday.

Ratner's production company RatPac-Dune Entertainment aided in the production of Wonder Woman out of a deal it has with Warner Brothers, despite the contract with Warner Brothers ending in 2018 due to the harassment allegations against Ratner. Gadot reportedly said she doesn't want Ratner to be making money off of a movie about female empowerment.

Suites replacing seats in the first-class air war

Etihad Diamond First Class Suites.
The airline battle for big spenders has intensified, with Emirates launching what it claims to be "game-changing" First Class" - with design inspired by a car maker.

At the start of the Dubai Air Show at its home base, the airline said each First Class passenger on its Boeing 777 jets will be assigned up to 40 square feet of personal space with "suites" measuring 7ft by 5ft 8in.

While passengers at the back of the plane are seated 10-abreast, First Class travellers will have ample elbow room. They are in a separate cabin with just six seats - or more precisely "fully-enclosed private suites" - configured three abreast, with privacy ensured by floor-to-ceiling sliding doors.

Emirates promises each seat will have a window view though the passenger in the middle suite has to make do with "virtual windows which project the view from outside the aircraft". Passengers with a real window are offered a pair of Steiner safari binoculars to study the scenery.

The airline says the design is "inspired by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class".

"Out of their minds": Naked people rampage through Missouri town, barking, yelling and breaking into places

flakka
Last weekend got downright bizarre in the eastern Missouri town of Sullivan, and police say they know why.

Four people went on a rampage, barking and yelling, breaking into buildings, even stripping off their clothes and showering in soda water, police say. They suspect the synthetic drug flakka is behind the behavior.

"We had multiple incidents this past weekend of people on some kind of substance acting out of their minds," Sullivan Police Lt. Patrick Johnson told the Sullivan Independent News. "Barking like dogs, running up and down the street, or other farm animals, entering people's homes, breaking into a business, yelling outside of local businesses."

Two people were arrested, and some of the users were treated at a hospital.

The applications to renew the status of dozens of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients were denied after they arrived past the deadline due to delays with the U.S. Postal Service, The New York Times reported.

At least 33 DACA recipients in the New York region had their applications denied because the paperwork arrived after the Oct. 5 deadline, despite having sent it weeks in advance, according to the report.

The U.S. Postal Service admitted that there had been an "unintentional temporary mail processing delay in the Chicago area." But U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials refused to accept the delayed applications.

"According to U.S.C.I.S. regulations, a request is considered received by U.S.C.I.S. as of the actual date of receipt at the location for filing such request," a spokesman for the agency told the Times in a statement.

One of Bill Gates' investment firms has spent $80 million to kickstart the development of a brand-new community in the far West Valley.

The large plot of land is about 45 minutes west of downtown Phoenix off I-10 near Tonopah.

The proposed community, made up of close to 25,000 acres of land, is called Belmont. According to Belmont Partners, a real estate investment group based in Arizona, the goal is to turn the land into its own "smart city."

"Belmont will create a forward-thinking community with a communication and infrastructure spine that embraces cutting-edge technology, designed around high-speed digital networks, data centers, new manufacturing technologies and distribution models, autonomous vehicles and autonomous logistics hubs," Belmont Partners said in a news release.

Comment: Flying mosquito vaccines and microchipped birth control included with residence.

Army lifts ban on waivers for recruits with history of some mental health issues, goal of recruiting 80,000 new soldiers in 2018

© USA TODAYThe Army will now allow recruits with a history of some mental health conditions to seek waivers to join the service. Here's why this is happening now.
People with a history of "self-mutilation," bipolar disorder, depression and drug and alcohol abuse can now seek waivers to join the Army under an unannounced policy enacted in August, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY.

The decision to open Army recruiting to those with mental health conditions comes as the service faces the challenging goal of recruiting 80,000 new soldiers through September 2018. To meet last year's goal of 69,000, the Army accepted more recruits who fared poorly on aptitude tests, increased the number of waivers granted for marijuana use and offered hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses.

Expanding the waivers for mental health is possible in part because the Army now has access to more medical information about each potential recruit, Lt. Col. Randy Taylor, an Army spokesman, said in a statement. The Army issued the ban on waivers in 2009 amid an epidemic of suicides among troops.

"The decision was primarily due to the increased availability of medical records and other data which is now more readily available," Taylor's statement to USA TODAY said. "These records allow Army officials to better document applicant medical histories."

2-year-olds to be brainwashed with "transgender lessons" in UK

Drag queens are being brought into nursery schools for storytelling sessions to teach children from the age of two about issues such as gender fluidity.

Bristol-based organisation Drag Queen Story Time (DQST) runs reading sessions with 'queer role models' for young children in schools, libraries and hospitals.

Launched by Bristol University Law graduate Thomas Canham, the project aims to teach children about transgender issues through storytelling, in addition to misogyny, homophobia and racism.

The 26-year-old was inspired to set up the project after learning about a similar scheme in the US named Drag Queen Story Hour.

Nursery bosses said the sessions are needed so that children encounter people "who defy rigid gender restrictions", according to the Mail on Sunday.

They reportedly want to target two and three-year-olds in order to influence them early against hate crime.

Children this age have not yet developed any discriminatory 'isms', it was suggested.

But critics told the Mail that the sessions could "blind impressionable children of two and three to one of the most basic facts of human existence".

Comment: As Daws implies, the recent epidemic of "transgenderism" is not an ordinary situation. It is an emotional contagion - a mass hysteria. The number of youths who experience real gender dysphoria is minuscule, but the prevalence of transgender propaganda (propagated by a tiny group of activists within the minuscule number of gender dysphorics) has convinced many young people - particularly young women - that they might not be what sex they actually are. Ironically, the transgender hyperactivists are probably more likely to provoke even more negative reactions than they would otherwise by taking this approach. People don't like being told what to think, especially when it's so obvious that's what is being done.

Malibu church warned to stop feeding the homeless

homeless ban
A Malibu church that has helped the homeless for years has been told to stop feeding people down on their luck.

CBS2's Craig Herrera spoke to the people at the United Methodist Church about the request.

At various times, the church can serve as many as 70-100 people. They have been serving the meals on Wednesdays since 2014.

They were reportedly told to stop food service right after Thanksgiving.

"It's a safe place," says Michah Johnson who is homeless, "and everyone is welcome. And the food is really good. It's home-cooked. And there's TLC involved."

Johnson said he still doesn't have a place to live, but he just found a job.

"The church is very helpful," he says. "They keep my spirits up. They keep me accountable. When you're homeless, it's very easy to slip off and become jaded."

Comment: No loving kindness or humanity allowed. Bans on feeding the homeless are in place all over the country.
