Prominent Computer Scientists Urge Clinton Campaign to Challenge Election Results in 3 Swing States

From [HERE] and [HERE] Hillary Clinton is being urged by a group of prominent computer scientists and election lawyers to call for a recount in three swing states won by Donald Trump. The group, which includes voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz and J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, believes they’ve found persuasive evidence that results in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania may have been manipulated or hacked. 

The computer scientists believe they have found evidence that vote totals in the three states could have been manipulated or hacked and presented their findings to top Clinton aides on a call last Thursday. The scientists told the Clinton campaign they believe there is a questionable trend of Clinton performing worse in counties that relied on electronic voting machines compared to paper ballots and optical scanners, according to the source.

The academics presented findings showing that in Wisconsin, Clinton received 7 percent fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic-voting machines compared with counties that used optical scanners and paper ballots. Based on this statistical analysis, Clinton may have been denied as many as 30,000 votes; she lost Wisconsin by 27,000. While it’s important to note the group has not found proof of hacking or manipulation, they are arguing to the campaign that the suspicious pattern merits an independent review — especially in light of the fact that the Obama White House has accused the Russian government of hacking the Democratic National Committee.

According to current tallies, Trump has won 290 Electoral College votes to Clinton’s 232, with Michigan’s 16 votes not apportioned because the race there is still too close to call. It would take overturning the results in both Wisconsin (10 Electoral College votes) and Pennsylvania (20 votes), in addition to winning Michigan’s 16, for Clinton to win the Electoral College. There is also the complicating factor of “faithless electors,” or members of the Electoral College who do not vote according to the popular vote in their states. At least six electoral voters have said they would not vote for Trump, despite the fact that he won their states.

The Clinton camp is running out of time to challenge the election. According to one of the activists, the deadline in Wisconsin to file for a recount is Friday; in Pennsylvania, it’s Monday; and Michigan is next Wednesday. Whether Clinton will call for a recount remains unclear. The academics so far have only a circumstantial case that would require not just a recount but a forensic audit of voting machines. Also complicating matters, a senior Clinton adviser said, is that the White House, focused on a smooth transfer of power, does not want Clinton to challenge the election result. Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri did not respond to a request for comment. But some Clinton allies are intent on pushing the issue. This afternoon, Huma Abedin’s sister Heba encouraged her Facebook followers to lobby the Justice Department to audit the 2016 vote. “Call the DOJ…and tell them you want the votes audited,” she wrote. “Even if it’s busy, keep calling.”

'Stupid Trump Votary Not Worried About Global Warming because Jesus is coming back soon' - Chomsky

There are other factors in Trump's success. Comparative studies show that doctrines of white supremacy have had an even more powerful grip on American culture than in South Africa, and it's no secret that the white population is declining. In a decade or two, whites are projected to be a minority of the work force, and not too much later, a minority of the population. The traditional conservative culture is also perceived as under attack by the successes of identity politics, regarded as the province of elites who have only contempt for the ''hard-working, patriotic, church-going [white] Americans with real family values'' who see their familiar country as disappearing before their eyes.

One of the difficulties in raising public concern over the very severe threats of global warming is that 40 percent of the U.S. population does not see why it is a problem, since Christ is returning in a few decades. About the same percentage believe that the world was created a few thousand years ago. If science conflicts with the Bible, so much the worse for science. It would be hard to find an analogue in other societies.

The Democratic Party abandoned any real concern for working people by the 1970s, and they have therefore been drawn to the ranks of their bitter class enemies, who at least pretend to speak their language—Reagan's folksy style of making little jokes while eating jelly beans; George W. Bush's carefully cultivated image of a regular guy you could meet in a bar who loved to cut brush on the ranch in 100-degree heat and his probably faked mispronunciations (it's unlikely that he talked like that at Yale); and now Trump, who gives voice to people with legitimate grievances—people who have lost not just jobs, but also a sense of personal self-worth—and who rails against the government that they perceive as having undermined their lives (not without reason).

One of the great achievements of the doctrinal system has been to divert anger from the corporate sector to the government that implements the programs that the corporate sector designs, such as the highly protectionist corporate/investor rights agreements that are uniformly mis-described as "free trade agreements" in the media and commentary. With all its flaws, the government is, to some extent, under popular influence and control, unlike the corporate sector. It is highly advantageous for the business world to foster hatred for pointy-headed government bureaucrats and to drive out of people's minds the subversive idea that the government might become an instrument of popular will, a government of, by and for the people.

CP: Is Trump representing a new movement in American politics, or was the outcome of this election primarily a rejection of Hillary Clinton by voters who hate the Clintons and are fed-up with "politics as usual?"

NC: It's by no means new. Both political parties have moved to the right during the neoliberal period. Today's new Democrats are pretty much what used to be called "moderate Republicans." The "political revolution" that Bernie Sanders called for, rightly, would not have greatly surprised Dwight Eisenhower. The Republicans have moved so far toward a dedication to the wealthy and the corporate sector that they cannot hope to get votes on their actual programs, and have turned to mobilizing sectors of the population that have always been there, but not as an organized coalitional political force: evangelicals, nativists, racists and the victims of the forms of globalization designed to set working people around the world in competition with one another while protecting the privileged and undermining the legal and other measures that provided working people with some protection, and with ways to influence decision-making in the closely linked public and private sectors, notably with effective labor unions.

Consequences have been evident in recent Republican primaries. Every candidate that has emerged from the base, such as [Michele] Bachmann, [Herman] Cain or [Rick] Santorum, has been so extreme that the Republican establishment had to use its ample resources to beat them down. The difference in 2016 is that the establishment failed, much to its chagrin, as we have seen.

Deservedly or not, Clinton represented the policies that were feared and hated, while Trump was seen as the symbol of "change"—change of what kind requires a careful look at his actual proposals, something largely missing in what reached the public. The campaign itself was remarkable in its avoidance of issues, and media commentary generally complied, keeping to the concept that true "objectivity" means reporting accurately what is "within the beltway," but not venturing beyond.

No White Hoods Necessary [but photos of guests were not allowed]: White Nationalists Meet to Put A Sanitized Public Face On Racism

"White Supremacy is white degeneracy wrongly cast as supremacy." According to Wikipedia, proponents of white nationalism identify with and are attached to the concept of a white nation. The ideology ranges from a preference for one's specific white ethnic group, to feelings of superiority, including calls for national citizenship to be reserved for white people. They avoid the term supremacy because it would reveal the deception.  White nationalism exists to provide a sanitized public face for white supremacy, and most white nationalist groups promote racial violence.

According to Neely Fuller as long as white supremacy exists every person classified as 'white' should be suspected of being Racist'. With these freaky folks, no other evidence is necessary, white nationalists are definitely racists -"upholders, supporters and perpetrators of the institution of the White Supremacy Dynamic. An often misunderstood term confusing bigotry (personal dislike of a clan of men and women) with that of a system of oppression (structured and perpetuated injustice--racism) by merchants and slavers." 

From [NPR] Loyalists [still wearing Trump hats] of the self-described white nationalist, alt-right movement from around the country gathered in D.C. Saturday afternoon, enthused by the election of Donald Trump and optimistic that their controversial, offensive views such as calling for a white, ethnocentric state were on the rise throughout the country.

"The alt-right is here, the alt-right is not going anywhere, the alt-right is going to change the world," Richard Spencer, head of the white nationalist think tank the National Policy Institute (NPI) promised at a press conference.

About 300 people — split nearly evenly between conference attendees and protesters of the conference outside — were on hand at the downtown D.C. event.

Spencer told journalists that he doesn't believe Trump himself is alt-right, the term he coined that's come to embody white supremacist, anti-Semitic and sexist ideas. But it was clear that his surprise election has given the once fringe movement a jolt, and on Saturday they were eager to take a victory lap. Spencer called Trump's campaign "the first step towards identity politics in the United States."

Spencer also restricted journalists from taking photos of the crowd inside the building to prevent the identification of attendees without their permission.

Before Trump, Spencer said, the alt-right was like a "head without a body," but then Trump came along and his campaign became "kind of a body without a head." He described the alt-right as having a "psychic connection" with Trump in way they don't have with other Republicans, and expressed hope that, "moving forward, the alt-right can, as an intellectual vanguard, complete Trump."

One of their chief policy proposals they hope to push through is a 50-year immigration freeze, with a preference given to European immigrants coming into the U.S. Spencer told NPR's Kelly McEvers in an interview Thursday that their ultimate goal was "a safe space effectively for Europeans," arguing for a return to the white origins of the country and protecting the white race.

'Deez Nuts' [racists] are Worldwide: Fearing a Non-White Nation, France May Also Elect a Racist

Selling More Racism. No matter what substantive issues might be at stake the mindless white votary is always super concerned about their new neighbors' skin color & what god they pray to. Whites make up less than 10% of the world's population & their numbers are shrinking. White people's worst and most basic fear is genetic annihilation or replacement in the form of the fear of the impending "Black Planet." [MORE] and [MORE]. Whites are highly motivated by this fear. If a campaign can tap into this idiocy it has struck pure gold. Knowing how to push white people's buttons, elite whites probably can get fearful, reactionary white folks to do damn near anything when motivated by racism. Program sound familair? [MORE]

Deez Nuts Now On The French Ballot. From [HERE] and [HEREFront National leader Marine Le Pen [aka Onya Chin] has taken a sizeable lead over Nicolas Sarkozy in a new French presidential election poll. The far-right leader had 29 per cent of the vote when pitted against Les Républicains’ former president, who was eight points behind, and held a 15-point lead over the Parti de Gauche’s Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the poll released by Ipsos.

Angry white French voters will choose Le Pen as their next president, supporters say, as her far right Front National party enjoys a surge in popularity following the election of Donald Trump [aka Deez Nutz] by a white votary motivated by racism. The UN recently noted "the rising racism, xenophobia and intolerance aimed at members of ethnic and religious minorities, as well as migrants, in many European countries such as France. [MORE]

The party - which has seen its support triple in five years - insists it is not racist, but tapping into disillusionment and a demand for a new type of right wing politics.

‘I believe Marine Le Pen can be the next president of France,’ said Front National spokesman Georges Michel. ‘Things have to change!’

Ground down by unemployment, terrified by two Islamic terrorist attacks in less than a year and confronted by high levels of immigration from North Africa, France’s working classes are looking for fresh ideas.

MailOnline visited the forgotten towns and villages of the south of France that is the heartland of FN to peer behind the gloss of the far-right party and investigate whether Marine has the support necessary to propel her into the Elysee Palace.

Le Pen has predicted she will become leader of France in the third part of a ‘global’ revolution after Brexit and Trump's unexpected win. 

‘The Front National is not a racialist party,’ Mr Michel, party assistant secretary in the Vaucluse department, where the Front National holds one of only two parliamentary seats told MailOnline.

‘We are a French sovereign party, which believes France is a Christian country based on European culture and traditions.

‘You do not have to be white to be French, think of the people in [the French Caribbean department] Martinique. But we are against the growing influence of Muslims and Islam on our culture.

Carol Flaindin, 65, added: ‘What have we got to lose by voting for the Front National?

‘I don’t like Donald Trump, I’ve got nothing good to say about him, but his election victory has shown that the little people can win.

‘And us French people have had enough – enough immigration, enough crime, enough terrorism.

‘We must stop the politicians from treating the French people like fools.

‘It is time for French people to stand up for ourselves or we are going to be taken over by Muslims. I keep a gun under my bed to defend myself.’ [MORE]

Steve Bannon Says 'he is not a white nationalist - just a nationalist.' [what is nationalism?]

Racist suspect, Steve Bannon, who is the "chief strategist" of the Blight House told the Hollywood Reporter last week, "I'm not a white nationalist, I'm a nationalist. I'm an economic nationalist."

Racists love words - so they can create confusion and deceive. What exactly is "nationalism?" Always endeavoring to undeceive, Dr. Blynd offers the following in Funktionary

Nationalism - the natural collective commitment on the part of the members of a society and/or culture to its economic and political defense, its survival and its perpetuation, not limited by the concept of non-geographical or non-territorial "nation-state" (commercial religious monopolies erroneously known as "governments.") Michael Bakunin aptly and rightly claimed that "the "negative component' of nationalism is just as essential as the 'positive component' and inseparable from it." Class collaboration and cultural identity cannot be readily decoupled in reality—maybe as a goal—but not in reality. Racism/white supremacy must be addressed and dismantled before any class-unification or cross-collaboration can be successful in bringing about more economic equality or even liberation for the people (dwellers upon the land) in the absence of any politically institutionalized hierarchy of imperialist white male domination and dehumanizing subjugation of humans through the trickery of statutes and by-laws that enforce compelled performance to same.

Racist Suspect Michigan Governor Refuses to Comply with Court Order to Deliver Bottled Water to Flint residents

From [HERE] and [MORE] The state of Michigan on Thursday challenged a federal court order demanding that officials deliver bottled water to Flint residents who can’t easily pick up their own from distribution sites around the city, calling the requirement “unnecessary” and saying it would require “a tremendous expenditure of taxpayer funds.” Flint is nearly 60% Black. [MOREThe water crisis has lasted 30 months. [MORE] and [MORE]

The legal filing requests a stay to the order issued last week by U.S. District Judge David M. Lawson, who ruled that state and city officials must immediately begin delivering four cases of bottled water each week to qualified households, particularly those that don’t have a properly installed or maintained water filter. The state said it plans to appeal the order to the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. The city of Flint was not a party to Thursday’s motion.

It has been more than a year since state officials acknowledged that Flint’s water was tainted with dangerous levels of lead, and more than two years since residents began complaining about problems with the water in the wake of a decision by a state-appointed emergency manager to switch the supply source to the Flint River to save money. Even now, residents cannot trust what flows from their taps.

“A safe water supply has always been critical to civilization,” Lawson wrote in his decision a week ago. “The Flint water crisis has in effect turned back the clock to a time when people traveled to central water sources to fill their buckets and carry the water home.”

[‘If I could afford to leave, I would.’ In Flint, a water crisis with no end in sight.]

But in its motion Thursday, racist suspect, Republican Gov. Rick Snyder’s administration claimed that the vast majority of Flint homes have filters on their taps, and that bottled water and replacement filters are readily available at numerous distribution points around the city. In addition, the state said relief workers maintain a list of elderly or otherwise homebound residents who need regular deliveries, and that they would continue to provide “immediate relief” to anyone they can identify who is struggling to get access to clean water.

Finally, the state claims that having to deliver cases of water to a large number of Flint residents each week could undermine other relief efforts. “The response to Flint involves much more than providing bottled water and filters,” Thursday’s motion reads. “It includes, among other things, fruits and vegetables, food-bank support, and other nutrition assistance to Flint children; provision of mental health services; provision of school nurses; and lead-abatement programming.”

State officials said requiring door-to-door water delivery could cost an estimated $10.5 million a month and require 137 additional delivery trucks and numerous additional personnel. They argued it also would result in nearly 5 million more plastic bottles each week overwhelming the Flint recycling system and could slow the recovery of the water system by decreasing the amount of water flowing through pipes, which is necessary to flush out lead particles and recoat pipes with orthophosphate.

Advocacy groups behind the federal lawsuit that prompted the order were quick to criticize the state on Thursday, saying the state should have to ensure that every resident has access to clean water.

“Seeking to delay the federal court order that the state immediately fix Flint’s water crisis is an obvious insult to the people of Flint, whose tap water has been contaminated with lead for more than two years,” Henry Henderson, Midwest director for the Natural Resources Defense Council, said in a statement.

Pastor Allen Overton, of the group Concerned Pastors for Social Action, said the effort to delay the judge’s order represents an effort to continue to “disenfranchise” Flint residents.

“What happened to Gov. Snyder’s pledge that he would work to fix Flint’s drinking water crisis?” Overton said in a statement. “This action today inflicts more harm on a city that’s already hurting.”

Trump Distracts Reactionaries with [fake news] Stupid Ass Tweet about a Meaningless Incident at "Hamilton" Play

To react means you are acting unconsciously. Somebody is manipulating you. Somebody says something, does something, and you react. The real master of the situation is somebody else. You are a slave and the other [Trump] knows how to push your buttons. [MORE]

From [HERE] As soon as Trump tweeted about “Hamilton,” interest in his other real scandals tanked.

On Friday night, Vice President-elect Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton. The hit broadway show notably features a diverse cast as America’s founding fathers, and celebrates the contributions of immigrants in American history.

The message of the show is thus deeply at odds with the divisive rhetoric employed by the Trump campaign. As Pence entered the theater, he was reportedly booed by some in the audience. After the show, the cast read out a statement in which they addressed Pence as “sir” and asked him to “uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.”

Pence reportedly listened to the statement from the hallway and left the theater smiling, without commenting. Saturday morning on Twitter, however, President-elect Trump tore into the musical.

Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.This should not happen!

On cue, the internet erupted.

Debates broke out on Twitter about whether the booing, and the statement, were brave dissent or a show of disrespect. #BoycottHamilton began trending. And immediately, the spat overshadowed the other negative news dogging the president-elect.

As soon as Trump tweeted, interest in the multi-million dollar fraud payout he agreed to the day before, his breathtaking financial conflicts of interest, and the white nationalist figures he selected for his administration receded into the background.

This is a Google Trends comparison of interest in Trump University compared to Trump and Hamilton in the past day: [HERE]

Trump’s overblown reaction to his VP’s Hamilton experience is indeed telling: Once again, the president-elect is applying a dubious version of freedom of speech that specifically casts constitutionally-protected dissent against himself and his team as out-of-line. He mischaracterized what happened. And an elected leader who hasn’t used his Twitter to decry the hundreds of acts of hate committed after his election, without irony, insisted that his elected running-mate deserves a safe space against booing.

But in setting both the traditional media and social media chasing after boos at a Hamilton performance, Trump is also distracting everyone from the damaging, substantive moves he has made since being elected.

Here is what happened just on Friday, immediately before Trump seized on the Hamilton moment:

Trump Assembles All-Pro White Trash Team to Lock Up Blacks, Deport Latinos & Spy On Muslims

These Deluded Idiots [racists] Believe that They Belong to a Hierarchy and Imagine Themselves to Be Higher Than What They Imagine "You" to Be. From [HERE] and [HERE] It took a week and a half following the election, but President-elect Donald Trump has finally begun selecting cabinet members. On Friday, he announced that Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is his choice for Attorney General. Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn will be his National Security Adviser.

Jeff Sessions has referred to the 1965 Voting Rights Act as a “piece of intrusive legislation” and reportedly suggested that a white lawyer might be a “disgrace to his race” because he represented black clients. The NAACP routinely gives him an “F” on its congressional scorecard. This is not the first time Sessions has earned a presidential nomination as an administrator of justice. In 1986, President Reagan tapped him to serve as a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, but at the time the Senate found him too racist for the post, and he became the second nominee in fifty years to be denied an appointment.

During his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sessions was pressed on accusations that he had called a black prosecutor “boy” and a white civil rights attorney“a disgrace to his race.” He was called out on his comment that he thought that the Ku Klux Klan “was O.K. until I found out they smoked pot” and that the NAACP and ACLU were “trying to force civil rights down the throats of people.”

Michael Flynn has repeatedly made it clear that he draws no distinction between organizations like ISIS and Islam as a religion. In the past, he has tweeted that fear of Muslims is “RATIONAL” (emphasis his) and that “Arab & Persian world ‘leaders’” must renounce “Islamic ideology.”

Flynn and Sessions will work in the Trump administration alongside white nationalist figurehead Steve Bannon, the president-elect’s chief strategist. That will make for at least three overt racists serving at the highest levels of government under President Trump.

Shortly after the Flynn and Sessions picks were announced, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke celebrated the news on Twitter:

In fact, out of the five major staffing decisions Trump has made since his presidential transition began, the majority have elevated figures defined by their hostility toward people of color. The other two were Koch Industries favorite Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS), Trump’s pick to lead the CIA, and Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus, who will serve as White House chief of staff.

Five names, three giveaways to white supremacists. Anyone who thought that Bannon’s elevation was an isolated occurrence, or that he would be a marginal figure in the new regime, should know better by now. The doctrine of the Trump administration will be white nationalism.

Why don't racists at SMU want white women to date Black men? White Plus Black = Colored, White Plus Brown = Colored

From [HERE] and [HERE] Adding to the surge in election-related hate crime and harassment by racist whites against non-whites, last Sunday morning, multiple racist flyers titled “Why White Women Shouldn’t Date Black Men” were found on Southern Methodist University’s Dallas campus. 

Underneath those words, were lines that included:

• “He’s much more likely to abuse you”

• “He’s much more likely to have STDs”

• And: “Your kids probably won’t be smart”

The university on Tuesday released a statement calling the fliers “offensive” and saying that “concerned students” have met with the school’s Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, and plan to do so again.

The university said in its statement. “SMU condemns the racist and hateful message in these fliers. These messages have no place at SMU and are in opposition to SMU’s values and commitment to an environment free from discrimination.”

Right. 

Question: What is the real reason racists do not want white women/men to date Black men/women?

Answer: White people are vanishing.

The U.S. Census Bureau has reported that by 2047 non-white persons will be the majority of the US population. Since 2013, census figures have also showed that for the first time in U.S. history, the majority of babies are non-white.  Since 2013 more white people have died in the United States than were born. Furthermore, the Census Bureau says that the ranks of white Americans will likely drop with every passing year. No other group showed a similar falloff. [MORE

By the year 2073 the white population will represent fewer than 3% of the people on the planet. Were you aware that the world is over 90% non-white? The so-called caucasian's most basic fear still remains genetic annihilation in the form of fear of the impending Brown Planet.  

White people are genetic recessive. In general, this means they cannot reproduce white offspring when they have sexual relations with non-whites. The white "race" can be replaced or "genetically annihilated" through such assimilation or social intermingling with non-whites;

White plus Black equals Colored.

White plus Brown equals Colored.

White plus Yellow equals Colored.

As whites have been consistently declining, Black and Brown populations are surging.[MORE] and [MORE] and [MORE]. 

White people practice racism to survive -- the operating system of white supremacy functions to keep them alive.  Indeed, as stated by Dr. Welsing, "if white people had not created such a global system in which they established power over the world's non-white majority, the white collective would have been genetically extinct a long time ago." 

As stated by Cress Welsing, "the war for white genetic survival is conducted simultaneously on nine battle fronts: economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and (military) war."

Because Blacks and other non-white people have failed to understand racism as white genetic survival, they erroneously have believed that they could be integrated into the white supremacy system. Blacks and other non-whites have failed to understand that if white people were to do this, it would mean active white participation in white genocide. Non-white people must master this perception of racism as a war for white genetic survival, a system into which non-white people never can be integrated." 

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing explained that [among other things] numerical inadequacy drives white folks to practice racism - to survive and to maintain control of non-whites. [MORE]. Her color confrontation theory explained that the more the white population shrinks the worse its conduct toward non-whites will get.

According to Dr. Welsing, racism is a system of white behavior and survival: "genetic annihilation is the fundamental motivation of people who classify themselves as White, whether it is conscious and/or subconsciously determined. In other words: what the White Collective is doing on the planet is engaging in racist behaviors—in economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and more—in order for them to survive.

Two Psychopathic White Men in South Africa forced a Black man into a coffin & recorded repulsive video

The Psychopathic Racial Personality From [HERE] and [HERE] Victor Mlotshwa was just walking along, minding his own business, when the unthinkable happened.

“There was a footpath there, and I decided to use it,” he said. “The next thing, there was a grave and then a coffin. There was nothing I could do because the other man had a gun.”

Two white men suddenly approached him and accused him of trespassing on a ranch. Before Mlotshwa could escape, he says, they forced him into a coffin nearby. Then he says they threatened to pour gasoline on him and light him on fire. One of the men captured part of the assault on video.

Toward the end of the video, which was taken down from YouTube on Tuesday but is preserved on social media accounts, one of the men tries to close the coffin over Mlotshwa's head while he helplessly wails. It is unclear what happened after that. But the resurfacing of the video has given Mlotshwa a chance at justice for his tormentors, almost three months after he says the incident took place.

“He didn't have evidence to prove what had happened, it's only two weeks back that he decided to open the case. He didn't think anyone would believe him,” Mlotshwa's brother, Thobile, told local media.

South African police were able to track down Willem Oosthuizen and Theo Martins Jackson, and the two appeared together in court Wednesday on charges of kidnapping and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. A judge decided that their trial would be postponed until January. They will remain in prison on remand.

[this epsiode reminds BW of the Derek Williams episode in Milwaukee. There, white cops allowed Williams to suffocate to death while handcuffed, naked from a strip search, in the back of a police car. He could not breathe after having been pounced on by white cops. He repeatedly told cops he couldn't breathe for at least 15 minutes between the time of his arrest and his death. They repeatedly ignored him, refused to provide medical attention as he suffocated to death - cop car as coffin [MORE]

At the court in Middelburg, in the eastern province of Mpumalanga, Mlotshwa sat just one row behind Oosthuizen and Jackson.

The court was packed to capacity. Members of South Africa's main political parties have lined up behind Mlotshwa. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), which campaigns for a more even distribution of wealth between white and black South Africans, in particular have taken up his cause and rallied hundreds of people outside the courtroom.

“This humiliation can be based on nothing else but his blackness, which means it is in actual fact a humiliation of black people as a whole,” the EFF said in a statement. They have called for mass protests at the ranch where the incident occurred.

Black people make up 80 percent of South Africa's 54 million population yet most of the economy remains in the hands of white people, who account for about 8 percent of the population. [sounds like the rest of the world, which is 90% non-white). 

How will Cops Enforce Trump's Plan to Remove Undocumented Non-White Immigrants? By Stopping Brown People & Demanding Their Papers

From [HERE] Donald Trump has pledged to begin deporting millions of undocumented immigrants as soon as he takes office next year.

For now, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck has no plans to help him do it.

“We’re going to maintain the same posture we always have,” Beck told KNX 1070 Monday. “We don’t make detentions or arrests based solely on status, whether that’s immigration status or any other status.”

“If the federal government takes a more aggressive role on deportation, then they’ll have to do that on their own,” he continued.

Beck called any effort to arrest and deport people a “monumental task” and estimated that there are 500,000 undocumented residents in the city of Los Angeles alone.

“This is a population we police by creating partnerships, not by targeting them because of their immigration status,” he added.

Since the earliest days of his presidential campaign, Trump has made immigration enforcement a central pillar of his controversial message to voters. He has promised to build a massive wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, labeled undocumented immigrants “rapists” and pledged to aggressively deport millions of people.

In an interview that aired last Sunday, the president-elect told “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl that he would deport 2 million to 3 million undocumented immigrants who “have criminal records.”

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, we have a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” he said.

According to the Washington Post Fact Checker, Trump likely gets these estimates from a Department of Homeland Security fiscal 2013 report saying there were 1.9 million “removable criminal aliens.” However, that figure includes undocumented immigrants and people who are lawful permanent residents, or those who have temporary visas.

As for how many of those people are illegally present noncitizens, there are conflicting figures from the think tank Migration Policy Institute and the Center for Immigration Studies. In a fact check, The Post rated Trump’s figures “Two Pinocchios,” noting that federal immigration enforcement data is “not always transparent or reliable.”

Already, under President Obama’s orders, an increasing percentage of those deported were people with criminal records, according to DHS. In fiscal 2015, 91 percent of “removals and returns” were people previously convicted of a crime, compared to 86 percent in fiscal 2014 and 67 percent in fiscal 2011.

If there was one location in the United States in which Trump could make the largest dent in the country’s undocumented population, it would be sprawling Los Angeles County, where citizens and noncitizens have lived side-by-side for decades.

Almost a quarter of the nation’s 11 million undocumented immigrants live in California, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. With an undocumented population of nearly 815,000, according to PPIC, Los Angeles County has more undocumented residents than any county in the state.

Though estimates vary, experts calculate that more than 1.6 million illegal immigrants live in Texas, making it second only to California in the size of its undocumented population.

The LAPD has spent decades avoiding a significant role in the enforcement of federal immigration policies, even as the city’s undocumented immigrant population swelled.

White Media Plays Dumb, asking "Why Do White Women Continue to Back the GOP?" Answer: Racism/White Supremacy

Since last Tuesday white folks have been playing a pretend game to keep Blacks & Latinos asleep; talking about 'why did white folks vote for Trump?' Yesterday, the Atlantic asked "Why Do White Women Continue to Back the GOP?" The answer is white supremacy/racism. White women also practice racism and identifed with a racist campaign. Dr. Varius Blynd's Funktionary explains the following dose of reality: 

racist suspect - any white person who is capable of practicing racism against non-whites. In general if a Caucasian is able to be a Racist (White Supremacist), he or she may be one and should be presumed to be racist. According to Neely Fuller as long as white supremacy exists every person classified as 'white' should be suspected of being Racist. Since all whites are able to practice racism in a white supremacy system if they choose to do so, it is correct (and logical) to use the term "racist suspects" to identify whites who do not openly function as white supremacists (racists) . Caucasians who do nothing to oppose white supremacy are its silent partners benefiting from this worldwide social political economic arrangement of domination. Those who do nothing about it or cooperate with it are also racist/white supremacist. Noted psychiatrist Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, has stated, "people who classify themselves as White, who wish to be taken seriously, and who are righteous and responsible, will only talk about ending White Supremacy (Racism) and replacing it with Justice."

Federal judge orders Flint Michigan to deliver bottled water to each household: four cases of bottled water per week per resident

From [HERE] A federal judge in Michigan on Thursday ordered [opinion, PDF] the city of Flint to deliver bottled water to its residents after the town switched to a more affordable water source that resulted in lead contamination. The plaintiffs initially filed a preliminary injunction accusing the city of violating the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) [text, PDF] and requesting both immediate and long term relief. Judge David Lawson granted the injunction, ruling that public interest and necessity overruled the defendant's argument that relief would create a heavy financial burden. Flint is about 60% Black. [MOREThe water crisis has lasted 30 months. [MORE] and [MORE]

How the water crisis is resolved ultimately will be left to the City of Flint and the State of Michigan. Nonetheless, there is an immediate danger to Flint residents, and the nature of the defendants' violations reasonably justify the relief ordered herein. There is already a water distribution mechanism in place, so the relief the plaintiffs seek in light of what is already being provided may be a far less drastic than the defendants believe. The public interest factor favors the plaintiffs.

As per the judge's order, the city must provide each household with four cases of bottled water per week per resident. 

Numerous lawsuits have been filed in response to the Flint water contamination crisis. Last month a federal judge ruled [JURIST report] that Flint residents can sue state officials over the recent water crisis. In May the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People brought a lawsuit [JURIST report] against against Michigan officials for their action and inaction in Flint. A month prior a group of Flint residents filed an administrative complaint [JURIST report] against the Environmental Protection Agency for negligence in handling the Flint water crisis. David Leyton, a prosecutor in Genesee County, Michigan, announced in April that a Michigan judge would allow criminal charges [JURIST report] against three people involved in the water crisis in Flint, including the man who supervised the treatment plant as well as two state environmental officials. Earlier in April the city of Flint filed [JURIST report] an intent to sue letter with the state, claiming that the city lacks funds to defend itself against lawsuit filed during the water crisis. Hertz Schram PC, a southeastern Michigan firm, filed [JURIST report] a class action lawsuit in March on behalf of the children in Flint who were injured by exposure to the high levels of lead in the city's drinking water.

SPLC finds Over 200 Incidents of Hateful Harassment & Intimidation by White People Since Election Day

From [HERE] Reports of hateful intimidation and harassment erupted across social media networks in the wake of the presidential election Tuesday night. 

Pulling from news reports, social media, and direct submissions at the Southern Poverty Law Center's website, the SPLC had counted 201 incidents of election-related harassment and intimidation across the country as of Friday, November 11 at 5pm. These range from anti-Black to anti-woman to anti-LGBT incidents. There were many examples of vandalism and epithets directed at individuals. Often times, types of harassment overlapped and many incidents, though not all, involved direct references to the Trump campaign. Every incident could not be immediately independently verified.

Anti-Black and Anti-immigrant incidents were far and away the most reported with anti-Muslim being the third most common. The category of "Trump" consisted of incidents where there was no clear racially defined target, like the pro-Trump vandalism of a "unity" sign in Connecticut. [MORE]

Greg Palast: The Election was Stolen – Here’s How

The Vanishing Majority (White People) Must Rig Elections (practice racism) to Survive. From [HEREBefore a single vote was cast, the election was fixed by GOP and Trump operatives.

Starting in 2013 – just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act – a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP–controlled states.

 The system, called Crosscheck, is detailed in my Rolling Stone report, “The GOP’s Stealth War on Voters,” 8/24/2016.

Crosscheck in action:  

Trump victory margin in Michigan:                         13,107

Michigan Crosscheck purge list:                           449,922 

 

Trump victory margin in Arizona:                           85,257 

Arizona Crosscheck purge list:                            270,824 

 

Trump victory margin in North Carolina:               177,008

North Carolina Crosscheck purge list:                   589,393 

On Tuesday, we saw Crosscheck elect a Republican Senate and as President, Donald Trump.  The electoral putsch was aided by nine other methods of attacking the right to vote of Black, Latino and Asian-American voters, methods detailed in my book and film, including “Caging,” “purging,” blocking legitimate registrations, and wrongly shunting millions to “provisional” ballots that will never be counted.  

Trump signaled the use of “Crosscheck” when he claimed the election is “rigged” because “people are voting many, many times.”  His operative Kobach, who also advised Trump on building a wall on the southern border, devised a list of 7.2 million “potential” double voters—1.1 million of which were removed from the voter rolls by Tuesday. The list is loaded overwhelmingly with voters of color and the poor. Here's a sample of the list

Those accused of criminal double voting include, for example, Donald Alexander Webster Jr. of Ohio who is accused of voting a second time in Virginia as Donald EUGENE Webster SR.

No, not everyone on the list loses their vote.  But this was not the only racially poisonous tactic that accounted for this purloined victory by Trump and GOP candidates.

For example, in the swing state of North Carolina, it was reported that 6,700 Black folk lost their registrations because their registrations had been challenged by a group called Voter Integrity Project (VIP). VIP sent letters to households in Black communities “do not forward.”  If the voter had moved within the same building, or somehow did not get their mail (e.g. if their name was not on a mail box), they were challenged as “ghost” voters.  GOP voting officials happily complied with VIP with instant cancellation of registrations.

Voters in 3 states approve measures to strengthen Death Penalty = State Approved Murder of Blacks

Marshall Project

You can hold off on those stories about the demise of capital punishment in America, at least as far as public opinion goes. Voters in three states, two reds and a blue, decisively endorsed capital punishment in a series of ballot initiatives decided late Tuesday into Wednesday.

In California, voters appear to have rejected a measure that would have repealed the death penalty and at the same time by a smaller margin endorsed a measure whose sponsors contend will expedite executions in the Golden State. The results, a crushing blow to capital abolitionists in the state and around the country, nevertheless guarantees years of additional litigation over the new procedures designed to empty the nation’s largest death row.

In Nebraska, voters decisively turned on their own legislators and restored the death penalty. Lawmakers repealed capital punishment in 2015, citing its costs among other factors, but Gov. Pete Ricketts led an expensive campaign to bring back executions. His message clearly resonated in a state that has 10 death row inmates who have been in limbo for the past 18 months. The “repeal the repeal” movement won by margins as large as 4-1 in some counties outside of Lincoln and Omaha, reported the World-Herald.

Finally, in Oklahoma, a state with a chaotic recent history of executions, voters overwhelming shored up their state’s death penalty by amending the constitution to confirm that capital punishment is not “cruel and unusual punishment” under the Eighth Amendment and to give legislators the power to change the methods of execution if one is declared unconstitutional.

Smug, Ineffective Clinton Campaign Would Prolly also Fuck Up Jello [HATE is Stronger than Like/indifference]

The WhiteLash: Racist White Lives Matter. First in 2008 the arrogant, entitled HRC folks overlooked Obama and failed to strangle him in the crib allowing his campaign to blow up and now this. [Only a loser could lose a fixed fight.] From HERE] Donald Trump's angry, hateful talk about Latinos and African-Americans failed to send enough voters in these groups into the arms of Hillary Clinton.

Some 88% of black voters supported Clinton, versus 8% for Trump, who said repeatedly that black communities are in the worst shape ever.

While that's a large margin, it's not as big as President Barack Obama's victory over Mitt Romney in 2012. Obama locked up 93% of the black vote to Romney's 7%.

Clinton's hold over Latinos was even more tenuous, despite Trump accusing undocumented immigrants of being criminal aliens and promising to deport them.

Only 65% of Latinos supported her, while 29% cast their votes for Trump. In 2012, Obama won 71% of the Hispanic vote, while Romney secured 27%. [MORE]

Dr. Blynd offers the following analysis: 

Electoral Politics - a polyogue of agreed upon illusions and false (deflectionary) issues. (See: Politicking & Pathocracy) 

Electorate  - the democratically hoodwinked. 2) the every four year scam-a-thon. (See Voting & Votescam)

And If Trump were Black Would All these Racists Give a Shit About Serial Email Deletion? [the Deluded White Votary & their Ghost Problems]

[MORE] and [MOREDeluded racist sheep want to be deceived. Trump is standing for whatever they will fall for. All the racist white votary cares about is their hatred of non-white people - so any excuse to vote for Trump will do. 

Polling conducted earlier this year found that 65 percent of Trump supporters believe Obama is a Muslim; 59 percent believe Obama wasn’t born in the United States; 40 percent believe blacks are more “lazy” than whites; 31 percent support banning homosexuals from the country; 16 percent believe whites are a superior race; and 20 percent disagree with Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed Southern slaves. [MORE]

Undeceiver, Neely Fuller plainly states, "Most white people hate Black people. The reason that most white people hate Black people is because whites are not Black people. If you know this about white people, you need know little else. If you do not know this about white people, virtually all else that you know about them will only confuse you."

A Black Church Burned in the Name of Trump! [MORE]

Amos Wilson breaks it down as follows:

'The Republican party is notorious for the strategy that requires the party to agitate latent emotional resentment and turn them into marketable political traits. The new raw materials for this are drawn from enduring social aggravations — wounds of race, class and religion, even sex. This strategy which centers around projecting the idea that the White populace is threatened by over­whelming alien forces, particularly Black criminals, non-white immigrants and Blacks demanding welfare and special entitlements, is not a strategy for governance. Again, as Greider notes, "The party's method deliberately coaxes emotional responses from people — teases their anxieties over values they hold important in their own lives — but then walks away from the anger and proceeds to govern on its real agenda, defending the upper-class interest of wealth and corporate power." He concludes that "The Republican party is not a party of conservative ideology. It is a party of conservative clients. Wherever possible, the ideology will be invoked as justification for taking care of the client's needs. When the two are in conflict, the conservative principles are discarded and the clients are served.'

Wilson further explains that many whites see "Blacks as the Primary Impediment to Governing." He states, at the center of American politics and governance stands the alien presence of Black America. This presence is White America's number one domestic issue and problem. This presence in its own peculiar way very significantly defines the shape and character of the collective White American psyche and body politic. This group, the Afrikan American community, intrudes disturbingly into White consciousness as insistently and persistently as White America seeks to exclude it from its midst and to deny and distort its reality through projective and self-deceptive stereotyping processes. Thomas and Mary Edsall cut right to the heart of the matter in their introductory remarks to an article titled "Race" published in the Atlantic Monthly (May, 1991):

Race is no longer a straightforward, morally unambiguous force in American politics; instead, considerations of race are now deeply imbedded in the strategy and tactics of politics, in competing concepts of the function and responsibility of government, and in each voter's conceptual structure of moral and partisan identity. Race helps define liberal and conservative ideologies, shapes the presidential coalitions of the Democratic and Republican parties, provides a harsh new dimension to concern over taxes and crime, drives a wedge through alliances of the working classes and the poor, and gives both momen­tum and vitality to the drive to establish a national majority inclined by income and demography to support policies benefitting the affluent and the upper-middle class. In terms of policy, race has played a critical role in the creation of a political system that has tolerated, if not supported, the growth of the disparity between rich and poor...'

The Edsalls give further evidence of the antipathy many in the White American nation have for Afrikan Americans in reporting the results of an analysis of the attitudes of White "Reagan democrats," i.e., White, nominally Democrats who supported Ronald Reagan and Republican party politics during the past decade. Their study found that many working class, non-college educated whites express a profound distaste for blacks, a sentiment that pervades almost everything they think about government and politics. Blacks constitute the explanation for these white voters' vulnerability and provide an explanation for almost everything that has gone wrong in their lives; not being black is what constitutes being middle class; not living with blacks is what makes a neighborhood a decent place to live ... These sentiments have important implications for Democrats, as virtually all progressive symbols and themes have been redefined in racial and pejorative terms ....

The special status of blacks is perceived by almost all of these individuals as a serious obstacle to their personal advancement. Indeed, discrimination against whites has become a well-assimi­lated and ready explanation for their status, vulnerability and failures.'
