  Nobody could get a tone out of the alto sax like Johnny Hodges. This must have been one of his last TV performances because he died three months later.
  
  What a treat! Thanks for posting this, Unka. 🙂

Cop Involved in Quadruple Murder and Cocaine Conspiracy Kills Himself as Feds Try to Arrest Him

Disgraced NYPD police officer Gerard Benderoth, 48 — nicknamed “White Rhino” from his days as a strongman competitor, was being arrested by the FBI Wednesday when he pulled out a pistol and put a bullet in his head.

Benderoth was under arrest for his role in a quadruple homicide and massive cocaine conspiracy of which he was alleged to be a part of and involved at least one other New York cop.

***I love a happy ending.***

Tradecraft: Introduction to OpSec

Operations Security sounds like something that would only concern spies and special operations soldiers. The reality is that since your government is likely spying on you, even if you “have nothing to hide”, OpSec concerns you. It’s a concept you need to become familiar with and begin to apply in your daily life. Maintaining Operational Security is simply the practice of taking small steps to secure the information you don’t want disclosed.

Trump Resumes Arms Sales to Saudis Frozen Under Obama

The US State Department under Donald Trump has announced today that they will green-light the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia that were previously frozen in the final months of the Obama administration.

The State Department announced the resumption of the sale of arms today, that will primarily be used by Saudi Arabia to fight their ongoing war in Yemen. The problem is that the announcement did not include any conditions that would require the Saudis to improve the standards used in this war that have already led to a host of war crimes and human rights violations.

Julian Assange says tech companies asked WikiLeaks for details on alleged CIA exploits

Two days after WikiLeaks released nearly 9,000 files outlining alleged CIA hacking techniques, the anti-secrecy organization is turning details of those tools over to the technology companies they affect.

Most of the documents in the WikiLeaks release comprise technical instructions on how to perform a variety of tasks, from pirating copies of Windows 8 to turning a Samsung smart TV into a listening device. The
documents have yet to be confirmed by the CIA, but if true mean the agency has been stockpiling known exploits rather than disclosing them to manufacturers.

Is Mike Pence the Deep State’s Insurance Policy Against Trump?

Last month, Anti-Media reported on leaked intelligence that forcibly ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn from the Trump administration. Flynn’s successor, General H.R. McMaster, is far more hawkish, and in comparison to Flynn, takes a much more anti-Russian stance. It isn’t too much of a stretch to assume
McMaster’s job will be secure if he continues to perpetuate the anti-Russian narrative we have become so familiar with in recent decades.

Despite this, the media still perpetuates anti-Russian hysteria and repeated claims regarding the Trump administration’s ties to Russia — despite the fact that Flynn, Trump’s supposed go-between with Russia, has already relinquished his power.

Why would this be?

  Seems like the entire establishment (including the DNC) just absolutely can’t wait for the Pence administration.

  About a year ago, I was posting on the so-called “progressive” blogs, calling Hillary’s campaign “message free” and “rudderless.” I was called a “troll”, a “conservative”, a “misogynist”, and then I was banned.

    It was the campaign about nothing.
