Word to the wise: 'You're a mercenary if...'

Destruction of America graphic
I have no idea if Major General Higginbotham actually penned this or not but it is a stark warning, one that I have maintained for years, that a civil war in North America (if it happens in the USA it will take Mexico and Canada along for the ride) will not be as cut and dry and as some folks would like.

There are no definable sides to our current predicament, no political organization to speak of, and as such a wide spread conflict would become chaos in short order. The continent would get very tribal very quickly. Political ideologues proceed with caution.

Police arrested a man with a sword who was allegedly threatening people in southern Sweden, local media reported. Police fired a warning shot before handcuffing the man, after he allegedly raised the weapon against them.

The incident took place near the Storbron bridge in the center of Örebro, Sweden on Saturday, Swedish media reported.

Police received warnings of a young man walking around the city and threatening passersby with a sword. When the man encountered the police, he allegedly raised the weapon against them.

"As we were looking for him, he approached a patrol and raised the sword. When he did not lower it, police fired a warning shot," officer Jan-Åke Sjöström of Bergslagen District Police said, as cited by Expressen newspaper.

Police tried several times to get the man to put the weapon down before firing, according to NA reporter Stefan Hazianastasiou, who witnessed the incident.

The Salt Lake City nurse is not alone — police have a history of abusing professionals rendering aid

police abuse
The Body Cam footage of a nurse being violently arrested by a police officer in Salt Lake City while other officers on the scene watched and aided the arrest went viral on Friday. The internet watched in horror as a nurse followed the orders from her supervisors and refused to break the law-and a police officer responded by throwing a temper tantrum because he was told "No."

However, while this incident was caught on video and spread like wildfire when it was released, it is not uncommon, and it does not apply solely to medical professionals. Police officers also have a history of targeting and abusing first responders rendering aid to citizens in life-threatening situations.

Cops shoot and kill deaf electrical engineer, detain the only witness and delete his video

Joshua Cloud
A storm of controversy is brewing in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana, after a police officer killed a deaf electrical engineer this past week in broad daylight outside Simsboro High School.

The man, Joshua Cloud, was a graduate of the University of Alabama's School of Engineering. By all accounts, he was a happy, healthy, respectful, generous and kind human being. But by the official police statements, he shot at a police officer and was gunned down as a result. The only problem with the official story is that it does not match up with an eye witness accounts of the shooting.

One witness is calling Cloud's death an act of "murder." Quintin Crowe is a school security guard at Simsboro High. He said he was taking a smoke break when he heard a police taser being deployed. Crowe said he grabbed his camera and began recording. He observed a white male wrestling and fighting with an officer.

Parents travel from India to help son beat wife for being disobedient

Parents travel from India
Three foreign nationals from India were arrested Saturday after deputies found a beaten woman and her child being held inside her home, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies described the woman, 33-year-old Silky Gaind, as "badly beaten and bruised over her entire body" from beatings by her husband and his parents that they say had "been ongoing for an extended period of time."

In response to a request for a welfare check, deputies arrived about 6:30 a.m. Saturday at 9601 Greenbank Drive, the home of the woman and her husband, 33-year-old Devbir Kalsi. Though deputies had confirmed people were inside the home, repeated knocks at the door went unanswered.

Eventually, Gaind tried to open the door and "screamed for the deputy to save her and her child," the Sheriff's Office said. A deputy then forced the door open to find Kalsi. When he tried to push the door closed, the deputy began arresting him before being confronted by the man's father, Jasbir Kalsi, 67, and mother, Bhupinder Kalsi, 61.

Nobody is ever going to call Paul Schrader's First Reformed a feel-good movie, and the legendary screenwriter and director is fine with that.

"If you are hopeful about humanity and the planet you are not paying attention," Schrader said Thursday as he presented his latest writing and directing project at the Venice film festival.

The film turns around the uncheery theme of impending environmental apocalypse and the question of whether Christians could or should have done more to prevent it.

"I don't see humanity outliving the century," Schrader told reporters after the drama, which stars Ethan Hawke, as an unexpectedly middle-aged troubled pastor, and Amanda Seyfried, was unveiled.

The dark tale is being tipped as an outside shot for the Golden Lion, the top prize at the world's oldest cinema festival.

Toxic femininity hides jealousy and corruption

feminismo occidental
The left has been pushing the notion that masculinity is "toxic" and must be rooted out. Classes of college students are propagandized to this point of view, often mandatorily imposed. "Feminist" speakers and books for young girls promote it and women's magazines are full of such drivel. This week it's apparent that it's this kind of nonsense that's toxic, not masculinity. Often it's a cover for jealousy and a corrupt search for power.

Seven people have died and at least 12 more are wounded after three Islamic State jihadists infiltrated a power station in the city of Samarra, 100 km north of Iraq's capital Baghdad, triggering a three hour standoff with security forces.

"At 2:00 am we were woken up by shots being fired," Abdel Salam Ahmed, a wounded victim of the attack told AFP. "We ran into one of the jihadists. Some of us hid while two others kept running towards the exit, shouting 'we are employees', but they shot them dead."

"I was in my night shift and suddenly heard shooting and blasts," Raied Khalid, another victim, told Reuters from his hospital bed. "A few minutes later I saw one attacker wearing a military uniform and throwing grenades through the windows."
