Feeding youngsters with our own convictions or giving them national platforms is problematic for several reasons.
Be it municipal children's councils or national youth organizations: the effort to promote children in politics is ongoing. To nobody's surprise, the kids reach the exact conclusions that the adults want them to reach.
The next presidents
"You are the decision makers of the future. You are the ambassadors of your generation."
These words still echo in my own ears. I've personally participated in a large number of youth and student councils, as well as events dedicated to "give a voice to young people". There isn't anything wrong with the idea of involving children in the decisions that affect them on a daily basis, but that doesn't seem to be what we do at all. In reality, children's parliaments are there for our mere entertainment, so that we can smile at the cuteness of youngsters in suits and call them our future presidents.

Law enforcement has now launched an inquiry into Johannes Koenig, a 27-year-old student from Munich, local media reported, saying the case has been passed on to the local police department, Commissariat 44, which deals with far-right offences.
But the situation is tricky, considering where the post was made, namely Postillon, a popular satire magazine which frequently mocks public figures and ridicules national controversies. Their articles contain fictional characters and sometimes describe fictitious events - which the magazine says in their disclaimer.
The Mesa Police Detectives, partnered with Chandler, Gilbert and Tempe police Departments as well as the Attorney General's Office for Operation Degrossting - an undercover operation targeting the demand for child and human trafficking.
In the span of six days, undercover detectives placed several ads on websites that are commonly used by suspects who wish to seek out illegal sex acts. The 24 suspects who were arrested solicited and/or brokered deals for various sex acts and were subsequently arrested, according to Fox 10.

"Two culprits have been charged with theft, mugging and murder, while a woman has been accused of withholding information about the crime. I think that by the end of the month the case will be brought to court," Kazakh Minister of Internal Affairs Kalmukhanbet Kasymov was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
Ten, a 2014 Olympic bronze medalist, was stabbed to death in July after an altercation with two men who were attempting to steal rear-view mirrors from his car in Almaty.

TV grab taken on October 26, 2017 from a recent recording by Cuban Television showing environmentalists analyzing sounds in areas where officials from the US embassy in Havana were allegedly affected by mysterious attacks.
NBC published an explosive report earlier this week claiming that several anonymous US officials suspect that Russia was behind a series of unexplained "attacks" on US diplomatic personnel in Cuba and China, leaving the victims with injuries ranging from hearing loss to "problems with cognition."
But Foster, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania who studied microwave phenomena while working at the Naval Medical Research Center in Bethesda, told RT that the evidence that these purported injuries were caused by some kind of microwave weapon - which the NBC article alleges - is "science fiction."
"The kind of effect that has been talked about with the embassy is purely a fairy tale," Foster said. He noted that while non-lethal microwave weapons exist, they require high-power transmissions and are only able to cause "thermal pain" in people. "I can't conceive of a microwave weapon as it's being thought about in this case. And it's not clear that the symptoms are real."

"We can't establish at this stage who it's gone to or what it's being used [for]," Detective Superintendent Arthur Katsogiannis told reporters in Sydney on Friday, adding that an international investigation to track the money down was already under way.
After interrogating the woman for several hours, police launched multiple raids on several properties across the city, seizing a Land Rover, several computers, phones, SIM cards, stolen financial and personal identification documents as well as methamphetamine. Two additional suspects were taken into custody on suspicion of identity theft and money laundering among other charges.
Members of Strike Force Woolana had managed to locate the crew behind the spate of identity theft, romance scams and phishing email schemes, but had yet to zero in on the ringleader. However, evidence gathered soon led investigators somewhere they may never have considered: a high-security immigration detention center.
How would an unsuspecting Facebook user know if this was real or not?
The company says that because people share millions of photos and videos on Facebook each day, it creates an "easy opportunity for manipulation by bad actors."
"The same hoax can travel across different content types, so it's important to build defenses against misinformation across articles, as well as photos and videos," said Facebook.
Facebook categorizes photo / video "misinformation" into three categories: "(1) Manipulated or Fabricated, (2) Out of Context, and (3) Text or Audio Claim. These are the kinds of false photos and videos that we see on Facebook and hope to further reduce with the expansion of photo and video fact-checking."

Anjem Choudary
Choudary, who was jailed in 2016 for terrorism offences, after being found guilty of encouraging Muslims to join Islamic State (formerly ISIS/ISIL) is to be released from prison next month, having only served half his five-and-a-half-year sentence.
The UK government's prisons minister, Rory Stewart, conceded on Tuesday that they were powerless to prevent Choudary from being freed on licence, despite his assessment that the cleric remained "a genuinely dangerous person."
Stewart told the Evening Standard that the preacher was "a deeply pernicious, destabilising influence", adding: "He is somebody that I would put into the category I have just mentioned - somebody who was not given a sentence of enormous length but somebody who is a genuinely dangerous person.
"We will be watching him very, very carefully."

For those who follow gender politics, vocabulary manipulation by ideologues is one of the biggest cultural stories of our time. No ideologues make more aggressive use of this strategy than radical male-to-female transactivists. They can be ruthless in mobbing anyone who dares to resist their linguistic hegemony. Transactivists reserve particular animus for the thought crime they perceive in the factual statement that "a transwoman is a biological male who identifies as a woman," rather than the official transactivist mantra that a transwoman "is" a woman.
This latter belief is held only by a statistically nugatory number of transactivists and gender-studies academics. And yet, remarkably, otherwise intelligent professionals with social and cultural influence have willingly accepted this redefinition, forswearing objectivity and cognitive precision to appease gender tyranny.
