ANALYST SUES FACEBOOK FOR ‘SUBVERTING’ ELECTION WITH SELECTIVE CENSORSHIP

Analyst Sues Facebook For ‘Subverting’ Election With Selective Censorship

Tech giant deleted thousands of accounts ahead of Indian elections

RT – APRIL 11, 2019

While Facebook claims to have deleted thousands of pages to prevent meddling in the Indian elections, the American company’s selective deletions have led at least one man to ask: Who is watching the election watchers?

A little over a week ahead of the beginning of elections in India this Thursday, Facebook raised some eyebrows when it announced that it had removed a number of politically oriented pages as a part of its “election integrity” efforts.

The social media giant removed 138 pro-opposition pages that had over 200,000 followers for “coordinated inauthentic behavior.” While they only removed 15 pro-government pages, as it turned out, those pages had a far wider reach with millions of likes.

Given the apparent imbalance, it is all the more concerning that the purge was conducted with assistance from the US-based Atlantic Council, a think tank that receives millions of dollars in funding from the US State Department and NATO allies.

Indian defense analyst and security expert Abhijit Iyer-Mitra is one of the people extremely concerned with the impact the American private company could have on India’s elections. He has even filed a criminal complaint with police in New Delhi, describing Facebook’s actions as an act of war, and an attack on the country’s sovereignty.

Speaking to RT, Iyer-Mitra blasted the social network for their glaring double standards: while making extensive efforts to protect American elections from foreign actors in the wake of the alleged “Russian meddling” scandal, the company seemingly had no qualms about letting a state-department-linked think tank act in place of Indian election officials.

“The point is they are an American company, this is an Indian election,” said Iyer-Mitra. “We are not willing to cede our sovereignty to other countries like this. I think they are making a big mistake and I intend to pursue this to the end.”

Former Obama White House Counsel to be Indicted for Ukrainian Collusion

The Democratic lawyer failed to register as a foreign agent of Ukraine.

By Richard Moorhead

Attorneys for former Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig revealed Wednesday that the longtime Democratic lawyer expects to be indicted by federal prosecutors on charges related to his work with the Ukrainian government in 2012.

Findings discovered in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into supposed Russian meddling in American politics may have contributed towards the upcoming charges against Craig. Craig performed work for Ukraine’s Ministry of Justice, and was apparently connected with the Ukrainians through Paul Manafort, the Republican operative indicted by Mueller for overseas political activity.

Craig was originally investigated by the Justice Department for failing to register as a foreign agent while working for the Ukrainian government. However, it seems statues of limitation have since expired for that crime, and his attorneys expect him to be indicted for making false statements to DOJ investigators instead.

Craig was President Obama’s White House Counsel from 2009 to 2010. He also has been a political advisor to liberal bigwigs Ted Kennedy and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

An associate of Hillary and Bill Clinton for decades, the high-society lawyer even rented an apartment to the Clintons as a Yale Law Student in the 1970’s. He would go on to lead the legal team representing President Bill Clinton in impeachment proceedings in the 1990’s.

Craig possibly represents the most high-profile elite Democrat to be indicted for foreign political activities in the past few years. Democratic kingpin Tony Podesta was investigated by Robert Mueller’s team for similarly suspect political activities in Ukraine, which may have involved lavish compensation that went unreported to the American government from pro-Russia political parties. After being investigated, Podesta ultimately wasn’t charged by the government, although the political consulting firm known as the Podesta Group he led with his brother John shut down.

British Government’s ‘Islamaphobia Advisor’ Backed DEATH PENALTY for Violating Islamic Blasphemy Laws

An Islamic cleric who advises the British government in an official capacity supported Asia Bibi’s death by hanging for “blasphemy” against the Prophet Muhammad.

By

An investigation by The Daily Mail found that an Islamic Imam who serves as the British government’s “Islamophobia adviser” supported the death penalty for a woman convicted of breaking Islamic blasphemy laws.

“Qari Asim, who is part of an 11-strong panel assembled by the Communities Department, supported preacher Khadim Rizvi, who demanded the death penalty for Asia Bibi, who was falsely accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad,” according to the report.

Bibi spent nine years on death row in Pakistan before being acquitted in October.  A group run by the Islamic preacher Rizvi called Tehreek-e-Labbaik reportedly whipped up nationwide protests against Bibi, demanding that she be hanged for her alleged crimes.

“Rizvi also endorsed the actions of Tanveer Ahmed, a British extremist who killed a shopkeeper in Glasgow, Asad Shah, because he belonged to a ‘heretical’ Muslim sect known as the Ahmadis,” the report said. “After the murder in 2016, Rizvi praised Ahmed in his preachings, hailing him as a ‘ghazi’, or ‘warrior.’”

All of this brutality is openly supported by Asim, who advises the British government in an official capacity against “Islamaphobia.”

He reportedly “issued a statement on his Facebook page in November 2017 in solidarity with [Rizvi],” when the preacher was campaigning to have Bibi hanged for her alleged blasphemy.

According to Pamela Geller and The Geller Report, the British government has refused to offer Bibi asylum.

 

PEOPLE SLAM TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION COMMENTS — BUT THEY’RE ACTUALLY OBAMA’S

CAP

People were quick to criticize former President Barack Obama’s comments promoting cultural assimilation when presented under the guise that they were said by President Donald Trump.

Obama said at a town hall Saturday: “If you’re going to have a coherent, cohesive society, then everybody has to have some agreed-upon rules. It’s not racist to say if you’re going to be here then you should learn the language of the country you just arrived at.”

18 STATES OFFER IN-STATE TUITION FOR ILLEGALS… AND LEGAL RESIDENTS ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT

18 States Offer In-State Tuition For Illegals... And Legal Residents Are Not Happy About That

Not all the states are blue! See if your state is on the list

Zero Hedge – APRIL 10, 2019

The Eleventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that colleges in Georgia are not required to admit illegal immigrant students. 

The decision further sparked a national conversation about the rights of Dreamers, as well as the legality of offering them in-state tuition benefits, which usually allow students attending college in their home states to pay far less than their peers from different states.

Citing US Code 1623, which states that anyone who is not legally a citizen cannot be entitled to any benefit that is denied to a citizen of the United States, some have questioned whether those here illegally should be offered in-state tuition rates that aren’t available to other students who are citizens. Currently, 18 states, offer some form of a pathway for in-state tuition to those living here illegally.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 18 stateCalifornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington — offer in-state tuition to illegal immigrant students. Two more states — Oklahoma and Rhode Island — offer in-state tuition to illegal immigrant students, pending approval from the Board of Regents. 

So, what do college students think?

Is it fair for those who are here illegally to have access to in-state tuition? Campus Reform spoke to students all day at the University of Nevada- Las Vegas, and not one student said that doesn’t seem right.

“Why do they get to pay less when I’ve got to pay more?” one student said…

…while another added, “What do you get for living here all your life legally instead of coming here illegally? I just don’t think that’s fair.”

Another student echoed that sentiment, saying, “that’s disappointing because I did quite a bit to earn my college.”

Nick Bosa Says He ‘Had to’ Hide Trump Support to Suck Up to NFL

Bosa feels he must hide his support for President Trump in order to join the NFL.

The Ohio State defensive end, who is looking forward to becoming a possible NFL draft pick, admits to self censoring on Twitter in an effort to increase his chances of becoming a professional athlete.

Nick Bosa, an ardent supporter of President Donald J. Trump who previously called failed athlete Colin Kaepernick a “clown,” now says he “had to” censor himself on Twitter before the NFL draft.

In addition to denouncing Kaepernick, Sports Illustrated reports that Bosa had posted a photo of Presidents Donald J. Trump and Ronald Reagan with the caption “Goats,” short for Greatest Of All Time.

According to ESPN, he curtailed his political posting and deleted multiple posts when it became apparent he could be chosen to join the San Francisco 49ers.

“Last year he seemed to delight in posting political takes, including his support for President Trump, on Twitter and needling dissenters. (He also caused a minor social media stir by criticizing Beyonce, Black Panther and Colin Kaepernick, all eventually deleted.),” wrote ESPN.

When asked why he seemingly lost his political voice, Bosa replied “I had to,” noting that “there is a chance I might end up in San Francisco.”

This would seem to be a double standard where conservatives feel they must self censor and remain politically unbiased, while radical Democrats like Kaepernick feel comfortable kneeling during the national anthem, silently endorsing Islam, and otherwise alienating conservative Americans.

When Kaepernick left professional football, he launched a lawsuit against the NFL and settled for between $60 and 80 million. His lawyer now seems to believe he can arrange for Kaepernick to return to the NFL, possibly to the New England Patriots. In addition to the money gained from the lawsuit, Kaepernick was rewarded with a lucrative Nike sponsorship deal, and near universal adoration in the mainstream media.

If conservatives like Bosa had the tenacity of Kaepernick, perhaps the NFL would be forced to take an official stand on political expressions among its players. As it stands, it appears leftists are allowed to speak freely, and are then rewarded for doing so, while conservatives feel cowed into silence.

Islamists arrested after plotting to massacre kindergarten full of children in France

By Emma R.

Two Islamic extremists, both 20 years old, have been arrested by police in Paris after allegedly plotting to massacre a kindergarten full of children, Breitbart reports.

*
The two men were arrested on March 25th with the Paris prosecutor charging them over plotting to kill children and police officers.
*
One of the men involved is said to have been known to the General Directorate of Homeland Security (DGSI), France’s internal intelligence agency.
*
The man, who investigators consider the mastermind of the plot, admitted after his arrest that he wanted to enter the kindergarten, attack the children, and then take some hostage until police arrived, at which point he would attempt to kill the police officers.
*
The suspect also spoke highly of terrorist Mohamed Merah, the Islamic extremist who was behind the Toulouse and Montauban shootings that targetted French soldiers along with teachers and children at a Jewish school in 2012.
*
A source close to the investigation also told broadcaster RTL that the chief suspect in the plot has “very strong psychiatric instability”, as well as signs of depression, narcissism, and suicidal tendencies.
*
DGSI had been observing the man since 2015 after he had become increasingly close to the radical jihadist movement.
*
Police decided to arrest him shortly after he made it known he was looking to procure weapons and adding that his plot had not reached a concrete planning stage at the time of his arrest.
*
The arrest is just the latest terror plot to be foiled in France. Last October, French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said that authorities had managed to thwart five major terror attacks in 2018 alone.
