San Francisco police will be out in force Saturday for a rally that is expected to draw white supremacists and counter-protesters who have clashed violently in the past.
San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said he hopes a large police presence can prevent the kind of violence seen in Virginia and elsewhere.

On August 21, 2017, Donald Trump gave an address on U.S. Policy in Afghanistan AND South Asia. After 17 years of being in Afghanistan, he said the U.S. needs to go back in and stay in there until the country is under control. Then he pandered to the soldiers.. telling them how great they are for their sacrifice. I wonder … do they really know what they are fighting for? They are fighting to serve the wealthy and oppress the poor.
The target country is NOT Afghanistan… it’s Pakistan – and possibly India. And the objective is a G– D— road with police state surveillance, command and control technology – just like the NAFTA Superhighway. The so-called “terrorists” they will be fighting will be the Pakistani’s who live on the corridor routes who will have their property stolen from them just like our government has done to people on our corridor routes – people like Cliven Bundy, the Hammonds, David Koresh and others I can’t name – but that I know exist. There is no doubt that Trump will get a couple of golf courses out of it at the transportation hubs (inland ports).

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (CN) – A former Tennessee sheriff was sentenced Wednesday to nearly three years in prison after admitting to giving female inmates certain benefits in exchange for sex.
Former Fentress County Sheriff Charles Cravens, 47, was charged in April with three counts of honest services fraud and one count of deprivation of rights under color of law. He pleaded guilty the same day he was charged and resigned as sheriff. Continue reading “Former Tennessee Sheriff Sentenced for Sex With Inmates”
Police in North Carolina can pull over motorists even if they have committed no traffic violation. The state’s highest court on Friday approved the stop of a man whose pickup truck fishtailed slightly while making a left-hand turn on a snowy road.
The North Carolina Court of Appeals had reviewed the case and found the driver, James L. Johnson, had done absolutely nothing illegal. The unanimous three-judge panel struck down the traffic stop as unconstitutional, but the high court justices last week insisted on declaring the officer’s actions as legitimate, reversing the lower court’s decision.

MorphoTrust (MT) is trying to convince motorists that mobile biometric driver’s licenses (MDL) are a good thing. Two years ago MT convinced the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) to pilot their mobile driver’s license program.
MT wants you to download an image of your driver’s license to your smartphone and use that instead of a physical license. A KTVQ video revealed how the MT app uses facial recognition to verify an individual’s identity. Continue reading “Mobile biometric driver’s licenses coming to a state near you”
Tucson-based Raytheon Missile Systems has been awarded a $900 million contract to develop the nation’s next-generation air-launched nuclear cruise missile.
Frequent competitor Lockheed Martin was awarded a similar, 54-month contract to develop design concepts and technologies for the new Long Range Standoff weapon, the Air Force said Wednesday.
When those contracts are completed, the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida will select a single contractor to further develop and produce the new weapon.

China appears to be laying the groundwork for the mass collection of DNA samples from residents of a restive, largely Muslim region that’s been under a security crackdown, rights observers and independent experts said on Tuesday.
Police in western China’s Xinjiang region confirmed to The Associated Press that they are in the process of purchasing at least $8.7 million in equipment to analyse DNA samples.
Observers from Human Rights Watch said they’ve seen evidence of almost $3 million in additional purchases related to DNA testing. They warned such a collection program could be used as a way for authorities to beef up their political control. Continue reading “China buys equipment to expand DNA testing in Muslim region”
WEB Notes: I am starting to feel like we are walking down the yellow brick road. You never know what is going to pop out along the way. Now we have a Satanist who blames Christians. If I recall “Lucien Greaves” a made up name was or is an atheist. Big side shows going on here folks. Big side shows. So what is really going on…
Our Father has been removed from our nation as a whole. Not in our families of course, but at the national level there is no doubt. Our nation would make Sodom blush.

Even though present-day Afghanistan flies under the news radar, it remains to be the longest military quagmire in US history. Aside from troops still occupying the country, thousands of private contractors are on the ground that the Pentagon can’t even account for. Considering how Obama’s foreign policy strategy has been to replace ground troops with drone strikes, the administration’s logic behind continuing the occupation remains unclear.
War has always been about resources and control. Alongside the supposed surprise discovery of Afghanistan’s $1 trillion wealth of untapped minerals, the Taliban had successfully eradicated the opium crop in the Golden Crescent before the US invasion. Now, more than 90% of the world’s heroin comes from the war torn country. Continue reading “Flashback: How Opium is Keeping US in Afghanistan: CIA’s Shady History of Drug Trafficking”
Recent murmurs across the US media have indicated increased interest in “outsourcing” the war in Afghanistan to private military contractors. National Public Radio (NPR) interviewed Erik Prince, founder of controversial military contracting firm, Blackwater, who appears to be leading lobbying efforts toward this end.
In an interview titled, “Blackwater Founder Backs Outsourcing Afghan War-Fighting to Contractors,” Prince would defend his proposal for the creation of an “American viceroy” in Afghanistan, consolidating and overseeing all US operations in the country.

WEB Notes: Free speech? Personal liberty? Not in America in the year 2017. Maybe it is not your game of choice, but these guys were off-campus on their own time. No one has a right to expel them because of this. When people start telling you what is right and wrong you should not only question it, you shout it down. We already have the Bible and something called the Constitution. Continually we see it whittled down and told it is racist. Stop being politically correct. If someone has a bunch of you know what coming out of their mouth, shut them down. Call it for what it is. Calling something racist is done in order to silence you or some group of people. No one wants to be called a racist so those being called racist will tend to stand down. Do not do that, you present the facts. Facts are facts.

The division in America has become so dramatic over the past year that many people can only foresee it heading one place: Civil War.
There’s a pronounced uptick in violence and protests (often going hand in hand.) Free speech is being crushed by the opposition with the mere threat of violent responses. Statues and memorials are being vandalized or defended. Protesters show up armed and armored, ready for battle. The media throws gasoline on these flames with reports solely laying the blame on one side. Some groups are openly planning sedition and no one is trying to stop them.

ESPN’s President Jon Skipper sought to straighten some things out on Wednesday, regarding the network’s decision to pull Asian-American broadcaster Robert Lee from a game he was scheduled to broadcast in Charlottesville. That move, made due to concerns that Lee’s name, similar to that of non-Asian confederate General Robert E. Lee, would offend some viewers.
In an internal memo obtained by CNN, Skipper attempted to explain his network’s thought process: Continue reading “ESPN Prez Tries to Say Network Didn’t Pull Robert Lee Over Concerns His Name Would Offend, Then Admits They Did”

A federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled against a high school football coach who was suspended for kneeling in prayer after games, saying it was unlikely the coach could show that a school district in Washington state violated his constitutional rights.
A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said Wednesday that the coach “took advantage of his position to press his particular views upon the impressionable and captive minds before him.” Continue reading “Appeals court rules against football coach suspended for kneeling in prayer after games”
