One flag, multiple reasons: Why the Confederate flag is flown outside the US

In the aftermath of the slaying of nine African-Americans at a historically black church, retailers and states are rejecting a symbol of America's racist history - the Confederate flag.


Comment: That'd be the Charleston massacre by Dylan Roof in 2015, an event which, in hindsight, foreshadowed Charlottesville.


But even if America is successful in obliterating the Confederate flag, it will not disappear off the face of the Earth. That's because the American-born flag has found a home in several other places around the world - some of which are well aware of the negative connotation the flag holds.

Here are some of those places:

Italy


Comment: Just a coincidence, but an interesting one; the 'Novorossiyans' being 'rebellious Ukrainians' against the Yankee-imposed regime in Kev.

German police have raided the apartments and workplaces of two suspects, who were allegedly planning to assassinate left-wing politicians and activists. Their motive was fear of a state-wide crisis provoked by what they saw as "failed" refugee policy.

The German Federal Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation against two people suspected of planning "a violent act threatening the security of the state." Early on Monday, the German federal police together with specialist police units raided the suspects' homes and workplaces in and around the German north-eastern towns of Rostock and Schwerin.

According to the investigators, the suspects anticipated that what they saw as a "failed refugee and migration policy" would lead to an increase in terrorist attacks in Germany that would eventually result in a state-wide crisis, in particular leading to the total collapse of the constitutional system, the German DPA news agency reports.

An Oklahoma news station claims to have exposed a local police chief alleged to have been selling white nationalist materials via his own far-right website.

The station, KXII News, used a nationwide "Hate Map" released last week by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to identify a group operating a website from its base near the Oklahoma-Texas border, an area known as Texoma.

The site, ISD Records, carries the banner "The Voice of Blood and Honour" and sells media and memorabilia aimed at white nationalists. It features bands with names inspired by historically racist groups.

A man who claimed he was attacked and stabbed in a parking lot in Colorado for allegedly looking like a neo-Nazi has conceded that he made the whole thing up.

Joshua Witt, 26, claimed he was stabbed by a man who allegedly said, "Are you one of them neo-Nazis?" in the parking lot outside a Steak'n'Shake restaurant in Sheridan, Colorado on August 16.

Witt claimed he had blocked the knife with his hand, and was injured in the process, requiring three stitches to the defensive wound. He described the assailant as a "Black Male, mid 20's, 5'10" tall, Green shirt and blue pants," according to a police statement to RT.

A chemical leak emergency is prompting orders for La Porte, Shoreacres, and Baytown, Texas residents to take cover and turn off their air conditioning and heating systems. This, as the Lone Star State deals with the emergency needs of the victims of Hurricane Harvey.

The chemical is anhydrous hydrogen chloride, which can cause eye, throat and nasal irritation, according to La Porte police.

The shelter in place order covers areas around State Highways 146 and 225. Deer Park is not affected by the order, according to KTRK.

"Close all doors and windows and turn off heating or cooling systems," an emergency La Porte city notice said. "Stay off the phone so you can receive updates from Emergency Officials."

A man who claimed he was stabbed by a member of Antifa for having a neo-Nazi haircut on August 16 was arrested after he admitted to police he fabricated the entire story.

Joshua Witt, 26, told police two weeks ago that he was getting out of his car outside a restaurant in Sheridan, Colorado, when he was confronted by a man who asked him, "Are you one of them neo-Nazis?"

In Witt's original account of the events, the unnamed man then charged at him and attempted to stab him, which Witt tried to deflect, causing him to sustain a minor hand injury.

The original video was published in September 2013 on this channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_co... . This is a shortened version of that video. It shows children being instructed by terrorists to act like they have been hit with Sarin gas, they convulse, they're eyes blink and they froth at the mouth with fake foam applied to their faces by terrorists. A of children applaud. A man in a Mickey mouse costume tells them it's all fun.

In Ukraine, wave of arrests for social network posts

Ukraine police
During August, Ukraine's security service arrested several alleged administrators of pro-Russian Vkontakte ("In Touch") and Odnoklassniki ("Classmates") groups. This was reported in the press service of the Security Service of Ukraine, PolitNavigator reports.

"It is established that a resident of the city of Vatutino of the Cherkassy region posted anti-Ukrainian materials on his pages in social networks. The propagandist was detained at the Kiev railway station during his return from Moscow for an 'interview.'"

In the capital, the so-called press secretary and an active member of an anti-Ukrainian separatist organization created a number of resources in social networks that called for:
  1. the seizure of state power,
  2. the dissemination of anti-Ukrainian materials,
  3. support of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine,
  4. the promotion of ideas for the creation of the so-called "Novorossia," in the jurisdiction of Ukraine.

More than a third of the French are disappointed in Macron, says new poll - UPDATE

A new poll has shown that the honeymoon for French President Emmanuel Macron may be over as more than one in three French say they are disappointed in his performance so far.

The poll, which was conducted by the polling firm Elabe on behalf of French broadcaster BFMTV, shows that 36 per cent of those surveyed felt let down by the young French leader. Only 14 per cent believed that Macron was doing a good job so far and 50 per cent said it was simply too early in his presidency to tell, L'Express reports.

When the poll is broken down by the political affiliation of those surveyed, it shows that the most resistance to Macron comes from supporters of far-left socialist politician Jean-Luc Mélenchonand backers of populist Front National leader Marine Le Pen.

Comment: Another poll, this time from yesterday, was even worse:
Most French voters are now dissatisfied with Emmanuel Macron's performance, a poll showed on Sunday, a dramatic decline for a president who basked in a landslide election victory less than four months ago.

The poll, conducted by Ifop for newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche (JDD), showed Macron's "dissatisfaction rating" rising to 57 percent, from 43 percent in July.

Forty percent expressed satisfaction with the centrist leader - down 14 points from July.
That's a worse drop than Hollande the Noodle's! And stories like this are only a part of the reason: Pretty boy Macron spent €26,000 on makeup in three months
