War on free speech: University says using the term 'politically correct' is now a micro-aggression

politically correct
Under the familiar and altogether laughable guise of inclusivity, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee exponentially amplified its 'politically-correct' war on free speech by unironically warning students not to use the term — you guessed it — "politically correct."

Yes, seriously.

In fact, criticizing the university's assault on thought in the form of an attack on words by employing the term "political correctness" is now considered a 'microaggression,' according to the school's Ministry of Truth ... er ... Inclusive Excellence Center.

As Orwell rolls in his grave, the Center claims disparaging its campaign against free speech as political correctness "has become a way to deflect, say that people are being too 'sensitive' and police language," in part because it is "disconnected from authentic understanding of impact."

Yes, the program constructed for the sole purpose of policing speech humorlessly blames its critics — for policing speech.

Not-at-all shockingly, the somehow soberly-named Inclusive Excellence Center's Just Words campaign's exhaustively picky list of verboten language only catapults the absurdity of political correctness into the ionosphere from there.

Posters plastered across campus blast such commonly-used slang as "lame," which, apparently, "ridicules and ignores the lives of amputees"; "crazy," because it "creates a negative and demeaning perspective of people with mental health diagnoses"; "trash," which "uses class to marginalize and dismiss individuals of lower socioeconomic status"; and — hold onto your jaw — "bitch," because, duh, it "targets and dehumanizes women and [can be] used toward men to suggest femininity."

Comment: The indoctrination of the masses continues unabated:

Heroin laced with elephant tranquilizer hits US streets

Opioid pills
The American heroin epidemic has become more dangerous, as reports of heroin laced with carfentanil are being reported throughout the country.

Carfentanil is the most potent opioid used commercially, 10,000 times stronger than morphine. It is a version or analogue of fentanyl, the painkiller that most recently made headlines with its role in the death of pop star Prince.

Carfentanil can slow breathing significantly. It's not approved for human use but is used commercially to sedate large animals, such as elephants. About 2 milligrams can knock out a nearly 2,000-pound African elephant.

IMPD Assistant Chief Randal Taylor provides an update on the officer-involved shooting that wounded an innocent homeowner.
Indianapolis Metropolitan police responded to a 9-1-1 call about an armed robbery early Tuesday morning. When IMPD officers showed up, however, they shot the first person they saw — the innocent homeowner.

In only a matter of minutes, a woman went from being in shock after being robbed at gunpoint, to praying that her husband survives the holes put in him by police bullets.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday morning, IMPD Assistant Chief Randal Taylor said the department received a 9-1-1 call from the couple around 4:30 a.m. after a young man confronted her in the driveway. The woman, who was getting home from work, said the man held a gun to her head and demanded her car keys.

Naturally, choosing life over car keys, the woman complied. She quickly ran inside to her husband at which point they called police.

FBI helps two Americans plan trip to join ISIS, then arrests them

Muhammad Oda Dakhlalla and Jaelyn Delshaun Young
A Mississippi man who tried to travel to Syria with his fiancee to join the Islamic State group was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in prison on federal terrorism charges.

U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock sentenced Muhammad Dakhlalla after he pleaded guilty in March to one count of conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization. He was also sentenced to 15 years of probation.

Dakhlalla faced up to 20 years in prison, $250,000 in fines and lifetime probation.

His fiancee, Jaelyn Young, was sentenced earlier this month to 12 years in prison and 15 years' probation, including mandatory mental health treatment.

Prosecutors have portrayed Young, who converted to Islam while studying at Mississippi State University, as the mastermind who talked Dakhlalla into going along. However, prosecutors said, Dakhlalla ultimately agreed to the plan.

Comment: Two more sorry dupes who appear to have fallen for the Daesh propaganda, only to be duped again by the biggest radicalizer in the U.S.: the FBI. (Not necessarily in that order.) How many people does the FBI help to get to Syria, no questions asked? They need to arrest some every once in a while to keep up the pretense, but how many others are there whom we here nothing about - only that they coordinated their actions with an "ISIS recruiter" online? And on that note: UK MPs: Twitter, Facebook, Google "consciously failing" to combat extremist material

Video finally released - innocent man tackled, tased and cuffed, then vicious cop kicks him in the face

Clinton Alford cops beat bike theft

Clinton Alford Jr. 23, was beaten and kicked by LAPD cops while others held him down
Clinton Alford Jr. had done nothing wrong as he was riding his bike one afternoon, when out of the blue he was attacked by a gang of men. When one of the men grabbed his bicycle, Alford became frightened and took off running. These men proceeded to throw Alford to the ground and place him in cuffs. These men were LAPD cops and they incorrectly thought he stole the bike he was riding.

According to Alford, they never identified themselves as police.

However, being assaulted by cops who mistook him for a bike thief was only the beginning. When officer Richard Garcia saw the officers on top of Alford, who was handcuffed, he felt it necessary to run up to the restrained man, kick him in the face, and then punch and elbow him.

For more than two minutes, Garcia would continue his assault on this unarmed and entirely restrained man. He only stopped when four of his fellow officers came over to pick up the battered and handcuffed Alford.

Alford was not the man police were looking for either.

This incident happened in October of 2014 and the video was kept from the public, in spite of it being repeatedly cited by police and prosecutors as the city pressed charged against Garcia for assault.

"I was just praying that they wouldn't kill me. I just closed my eyes and tried to hold on," Alford told the LA Times in 2014.

Michelle Martens, 35, is escorted from police headquarters after being charged in the killing of her 10-year-old daughter Wednesday night.
A 10-year-old Albuquerque girl was brutally slain in her family's Northwest Albuquerque apartment early Wednesday, hours before she was to celebrate her birthday at a party complete with manicures and cake.

Late Wednesday night, Albuquerque police released horrific details of the crime allegedly perpetrated by the girl's mother, her boyfriend and another woman. APD spokesman Tanner Tixier said the trio injected the 10-year-old with methamphetamine "to make her calm down so they could do whatever they want with her."

She was sexually assaulted by her mother's boyfriend and the other woman, and Tixier said the mom showed "no remorse." They then either stabbed or strangled her to death, Tixier said.

Comment: A day doesn't go by without a horrific crime being committed. The brutally violent killing of this poor child is beyond words.

Globalism is a barbaric relic: Voluntary tribalism is the future

Painting Earth graphic
I have been writing rather extensively about the ideology of globalism in recent months, primarily because the battle lines between sovereignty and global centralization have never been more defined than they are in 2016. In the past, globalists have often hidden the true motives of their cult; namely the goal of erasing national borders and all remaining vestiges of self governance. Normally, they would only pronounce the great advantages of globalization while dancing around the fact that millions of people will not accept it. Today, however, the globalists have come out in direct confrontation with supporters of sovereignty.

After the Brexit referendum, a new tone appears to have been set. The elites have now entered the mainstream media to state in essence that yes, they are globalists, they want total centralization and they are here to fight a philosophical and/or physical battle with those they call "populists" (also known as conservatives and sovereigns).

Veteran commits suicide outside VA Center in Long Island, NY

veteran suicide
A 76-year-old veteran committed suicide on Sunday in the parking lot of the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center on Long Island, where he had been a patient, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.

Peter A. Kaisen, of Islip, was pronounced dead after he shot himself outside Building 92, the nursing home at the medical center.

The hospital is part of the Veterans Affairs medical system, the nation's largest integrated health care organization, which has been under scrutiny since 2014, when the department confirmed that numerous patients had died awaiting treatment at a V.A. hospital in Phoenix. Officials there had tried to cover up long waiting times for 1,700 veterans seeking medical care. A study released by the Government Accountability Office in April indicated that the system had yet to fix its scheduling problems.

Why Mr. Kaisen decided to end his life was not immediately known, but two people connected to the hospital who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss his death said that he had been frustrated that he was unable to see an emergency-room physician for reasons related to his mental health. "He went to the E.R. and was denied service," one of the people, who currently works at the hospital, said. "And then he went to his car and shot himself."

In the northern Syrian province of Hama, Syrian Armed Forces and its allied forces started a sudden military army operation against al-Nusra Front militants.

The Syrian Army organized a surprise assault on the city of Maan, which is considered to be one of the main strongholds of al-Nusra Front in Hama province.

Federal indictment claims ISIS-supporting teen who killed neighbor planned to kill thousands of Americans in terrorist attack

justin sullivan
A Morganton teen, who federal investigators say planned to kill 1,000 Americans at a club or concert, killed and robbed his neighbor to help finance his efforts to support ISIS, according to a federal indictment filed Aug. 16.

Justin Nolan Sullivan, 19, was arrested in June 2015 after he told an undercover FBI agent about plans to kill hundreds of people with assault rifles and homemade silencers, or possibly biological weapons.

The new indictment links Sullivan, who also goes by "The Mujahid," to the death of his neighbor, 74-year-old John Bailey Clark.

Investigators say Sullivan stole his stepfather's gun, broke into Clark's home in December 2014, shot him three times in the head and buried him in a shallow grave.

Investigators said that Sullivan planned to use money he stole from Clark to buy an assault-style rifle for future attacks.
