The 80th Anniversary of the Start of WWII in Europe
Just remember, the whole damn thing was Woodrow Wilson’s fault.
Even Winston Churchill, top suspect in the sinking of the Lusitania, later told William Griffin, editor of the New York Enquirer in August 1936 (though he later denied saying it):
“America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn’t entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned Nazism in Germany.”
South Korea’s Internet Cenorship
South Korea is one of the freest and most democratic countries in Asia and also one of the most connected and technologically advanced countries in the world. This country has been the example of an economic miracle. In a little over 50 years it transformed from being a very poor country to one of the richest countries. However, in this video we’re going to talk about the internet. South Korea has the most Internet access in the world. No less than 96% of all South Koreans have access to the internet. However, despite this, the NGO Freedom House, which creates an annual benchmark index on network freedom, South Korea barely reaches the “partially free” status. That puts South Korea at the same level as countries like Nigeria or Kyrgyzstan. So what exactly is happening in South Korea? Why do they have such a low level of network freedom? In this video, we’ll answer these questions and tell you how the South Korean government is copying China’s Internet censorship methods.
New York Cops Who Raped Brooklyn Teen While In Custody Get No Jail Time
Natasha Leonard of The Intercept has been following the story of 18 year old Anna Chambers (not her real name) who was raped by two undercover cops while in their custody for a minor drug charge.

The Chambers case should have been clear-cut from the moment in September 2017 that a hospital rape kit found semen matching Martins’s and Hall’s DNA inside the teenager’s body. The young woman had been detained, handcuffed, and taken into the officers’ unmarked van, having been found in possession of a small amount of drugs. Chambers performed oral sex on both officers and had vaginal sex with Martins. Then the cops left her on a corner.
At the time of the crime, New York law did not acknowledge that a person in custody cannot consent to sex. Though the state legislator did correct this, it was too late for Anna Chambers.
New York State Senate unanimously passed a bill that should have always been a law. Senate bill S7708 asserts that when a person is “under arrest, detention or otherwise in actual custody” by a police officer or other law enforcement official, that person is incapable of consenting to a sexual encounter. That is to say the obvious: There’s no uncoerced sex in police custody — there’s only rape.
Even though the prosecutor recommended a jail sentence, Judge Danny Chun gave them only 5 years probation.
We have two justice systems in this country. One for regular people and one for state actors. The entire American justice system is corrupt – cops, judges, prosecutors, prisons, and politicians. These two cops should be in jail.

Officer Of The Year
Beats homeless women.
“Master Police Officer Phillip Larscheid is considering his options going forward. He was Officer of the Year for 2014 for the entire Dekalb County Police Department and has received more than nineteen commendations during his eight years with the department. He certified with an ASP baton in the Dekalb Police Academy and seven times after that during annual training.
The two tiered American justice system. If you work for the state the laws are different.
According to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office official arrest information, Larscheid bonded out of DeKalb custody just after 4 a.m. with a total out-of-pocket cost of zero.
Judge Glenda Hatchett says she is pleased that a grand jury has indicted Larscheid.
“People should expect the police to serve and protect them, not to have to endure this horrific beating that went on,” Hatchett said.
Don’t expect this – they don’t serve you and they have no obligation to protect you.
Wall Street Journal: Rich Get Richer
Due to government economic policy:
The decadelong economic expansion has showered the U.S. with staggering new wealth driven by a booming stock market and rising house prices.
But that windfall has passed by many Americans. The bottom half of all U.S. households, as measured by wealth, have only recently regained the wealth lost in the 2007-2009 recession and still have 32% less wealth, adjusted for inflation, than in 2003, according to recent Federal Reserve figures. The top 1% of households have more than twice as much as they did in 2003.
This points to a potentially worrisome side of the expansion, now the longest on record. If another recession comes, it could be devastating for people who have only just recovered from the last one. …
Structural economic forces have affected the wealth of the rich and the lower-middle class differently. The Fed kept interest rates near zero and bought bonds in the years after the crisis to revive the economy, in the process amplifying the run-up in asset prices. “Who owns that stuff? Rich people,” said Karen Petrou, managing partner at Federal Financial Analytics.
