Fort Worth, TX — A 15-year-old high school student was forced to ask for help on Facebook after she reported her rape to police only to be completely ignored. After being exposed for ignoring the girl, police then blamed her for their mistakes.

The alleged attack happened in December 2015, right near the school. Because the child felt ashamed and guilty after the attack, she was scared to tell her parents. After hearing that her attacker had done the same thing to several other girls, she finally broke her silence and told the school police.

Her reports of rape, however, fell on deaf ears as police took no action.

According to FOX 4 News, Fort Worth ISD filed a report with police, but the detective assigned to the case did nothing with it from there.

In an innovative way of showing discontent with the Russophobia that the governing nationalistic elite in Ukraine is known for, a trend of flash mobs singing songs in Russian is spreading like wildfire in Ukraine. It has also spread to Russia and Moldova where flash mobs in solidarity with their Slavic brothers and sisters in Ukraine are singing Ukrainian songs. The joy and emotion that can be seen in the videos by the bystanders speaks for itself.

About the beginning Lada Ray writes:

The newest thing the Kiev junta is doing is banning Russian language during school breaks. Teachers caught speaking Russian will be fired.

In the atmosphere of the oppression, the people are finding ways to resist in a beautiful and inspiring way, by performing Russian-Soviet songs at train stations.

It began on November 13 in Zaporozhye, the large industrial city in Eastern Ukraine, located next to Donbass. The city of Zaporozhye is located in the very center of the ancestral Zaporozhskie Cossack territories. Zaporozhye means basically 'beyond the white waters.' It is located on the banks of the river Dnepr and it is the white waters of the river that gave it its name. The city was founded by the Russian tsars; in 1930s it became the center of the Soviet industrialization. It is the sight of the famous symbol of the Soviet industrialization DneproGes (Dnepr Hydroelectric Station). It is also the home to the metallurgical giant Zaporozhstal' (Zaporozhye Metal Plant). Europe's largest nuclear power plant is also built here. I again want to stress that everything that has been built in Zaporozhye was built by either the Russian Empire or the USSR. During its 25 years of 'independence' Ukraine built nothing of significance.

Soon other cities followed :

In a heartening display of unity and solidarity, and as a show of resolve in the face of Energy Transfer Partners statement that they WILL complete the DAPL without rerouting the pipeline, U.S. veterans and water protectors marched to the 1806 bridge, which was the site of a violent confrontation between police and water protectors on November 20.

After the announcement by the Army Corp of Engineers, denying the easement, police vacated their post by removing their police tanks, LRAD sound cannons, and other vehicles that had been stationed at the bridge since the confrontation took place.

On a sweltering day this summer, a handful of protesters gathered outside an AMC movie theater in Times Square, holding red signs proclaiming "AMC = American Movie Communists."

They were opposing the giant movie theater company AMC's $1.2 billion purchase of a rival cinema chain, Carmike, that has theaters in 41 states. The deal, which is still subject to government approval, would make AMC the largest theater chain in the U.S. The protesters targeted AMC's Chinese owners — the sprawling Chinese real estate and entertainment company called Dalian Wanda that acquired the American movie chain in 2002, creating the world's largest theater empire.

The protest suggestedthe Carmike acquisition would further extend Beijing's hidden control over American mass media. But the protesters had not gathered on their own volition. They were being paid to be there by a Washington lobbying firm, Berman and Company, waging a war against Chinese acquisitions of American movie theaters.

It was one of the many unexpected ways a quiet battle is underway to halt a trend of Chinese businesses gobbling up American companies. The battle's reach now goes beyond traditional areas with obvious national security implications — such as President Obama's decision late Friday to block the acquisition of a semiconductor company with sensitive technology — into more surprising areas like movie theaters, where concerns about financial ownership collide with issues of cultural openness.

I am a Republican presidential elector, one of the 538 people asked to choose officially the president of the United States. Since the election, people have asked me to change my vote based on policy disagreements with Donald J. Trump. In some cases, they cite the popular vote difference. I do not think president-elects should be disqualified for policy disagreements. I do not think they should be disqualified because they won the Electoral College instead of the popular vote. However, now I am asked to cast a vote on Dec. 19 for someone who shows daily he is not qualified for the office.

Fifteen years ago, as a firefighter, I was part of the response to the Sept. 11 attacks against our nation. That attack and this year's election may seem unrelated, but for me the relationship becomes clearer every day.

George W. Bush is an imperfect man, but he led us through the tragic days following the attacks. His leadership showed that America was a great nation. That was also the last time I remember the nation united. I watch Mr. Trump fail to unite America and drive a wedge between us.

An off-duty New York City police officer and her son were the victims of harassment after they were physically and verbally attacked while dropping her son off in Brooklyn. The man who allegedly targeted them because the officer is Muslim.

Officer Aml Elsokary was called a hero by the New York Police Department (NYPD) after she saved a baby and the child's grandmother from a burning building in 2014. But on Saturday, Brooklyn-based Christopher Nelson, 36, called her an "ISIS [expletive]" after seeing her in a hijab.

The incident began at about 6:00pm in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, where Elsokary had dropped off her 16-year-old son on a corner and went to park her car. When she returned, she found Nelson shoving and yelling at her son. Nelson turned his attention to Elsokary and said, "ISIS [expletive], I will cut your throat, go back to your country," WCBS reported.

Jurors in the case of a white police officer, Michael Slager, who shot and killed African American Walter Scott in the back, could not reach a unanimous verdict, prompting the judge to declare a mistrial.

The shooting was caught a bystander's cellphone video and shocked the nation.

US military veterans who backed Native American tribes in protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline through the Standing Rock Sioux water source may be headed to Michigan next, where the city of Flint is still dealing with lead in the water.

The Army Corps of Engineers announced on Sunday that it would not approve the easement allowing the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) to be built under Lake Oahe, the primary water source of the Standing Rock Nation. The decision came after months of protests, and followed the arrival of some 4,500 US veterans to join the protesters at the Oceti Sakowin camp near Cannon Ball, North Dakota.

Australians may not equate illegal tobacco smuggling with drug trafficking or terrorism fundraising, but senior border security officials are warning it may be fuelling both and posing a national security risk.

In an exclusive interview with the ABC's 7.30 program and Fairfax Media, Australian Federal Police assistant commissioner Wayne Buchhorn — who has been seconded to Australian Border Force (ABF) — said he had "significant" concerns that some of the proceeds of the booming illicit tobacco smuggling trade into Australia were flowing to extremist groups overseas.

"We are seeing crime gangs here in Australia, oftentimes Middle Eastern organised crime gangs, and the connections back into the Middle East ... [are] a significant concern for us in the current environment," he said. "The funding of extremist activities, we are seeing some elements of that."

A notorious Middle Eastern crime syndicate operating in Arncliffe, Sydney, which is involved in both drug and tobacco smuggling, has shrugged off the repeated arrest and prosecution of its members to continue importing contraband.

Police intelligence has linked the syndicate to fundraising for a Lebanese charity aligned with extremist group Hezbollah.

'My research was attacked by thought police in journalism, activist groups funded by billionaires and even the White House.'

Scientist quits research after attacks by Media, activists & Obama Admin

'My research led me to a conclusion that many climate campaigners find unacceptable: There is scant evidence to indicate that hurricanes, floods, tornadoes or drought have become more frequent or intense in the U.S. or globally. In fact we are in an era of good fortune when it comes to extreme weather. This is a topic I've studied and published on as much as anyone over two decades.'

Intimidation Works! Dr. Pielke Jr. in 2015 announced that activist and media attacks have prompted him to quit climate research! 'The incessant attacks and smears are effective, no doubt, I have already shifted all of my academic work away from climate issues. I am simply not initiating any new research or papers on the topic'

My unhappy life as a climate heretic

Excerpts:

Much to my surprise, I showed up in the WikiLeaks releases before the election. In a 2014 email, a staffer at the Center for American Progress, founded by John Podesta in 2003, took credit for a campaign to have me eliminated as a writer for Nate Silver 's FiveThirtyEight website. In the email, the editor of the think tank's climate blog bragged to one of its billionaire donors, Tom Steyer : "I think it's fair [to] say that, without Climate Progress, Pielke would still be writing on climate change for 538."

WikiLeaks provides a window into a world I've seen up close for decades: the debate over what to do about climate change, and the role of science in that argument. Although it is too soon to tell how the Trump administration will engage the scientific community, my long experience shows what can happen when politicians and media turn against inconvenient research—which we've seen under Republican and Democratic presidents.

I understand why Mr. Podesta—most recently Hillary Clinton 's campaign chairman—wanted to drive me out of the climate-change discussion. When substantively countering an academic's research proves difficult, other techniques are needed to banish it. That is how politics sometimes works, and professors need to understand this if we want to participate in that arena.

More troubling is the degree to which journalists and other academics joined the campaign against me. What sort of responsibility do scientists and the media have to defend the ability to share research, on any subject, that might be inconvenient to political interests—even our own?
