.Milwaukee Sheriff Sued Over Another Jail Death

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. is the target of another federal lawsuit over a death in his jail, as family members of a man who died of thirst claim he was tortured in solitary confinement.

A 25-page complaint filed Thursday in Milwaukee federal court alleges staff at the Milwaukee County jail repeatedly ignored 38-year-old Terrill Thomas’ requests for water for days.

Anyone else think that SXSW is tech manufactured “cool”? It bugs me. I live near Silicon Valley and people constantly congratulate themselves for how visionary and innovative they are. They employ hundreds of thousands of people. They can’t all be cool.

.Rand Paul Joins the Fight — Presents Bill to Demand US “Stop Arming Terrorists”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has joined fellow congresswoman Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) in calling on the U.S. government to stop funding terrorists. Dr. Paul, in a press release, announced the introduction of the Act known as the Stop Arming Terrorists Act (S. 532). The bill is meant to be a “companion bill” to Gabbard’s (HR 608) which also carries the same title. Paul, a Republican, and Gabbard, a Democrat, have symbolically joined hands in calling on the federal government to be more accountable with how and to whom it gives money and material support.

.The ‘Times’ runs propaganda about how moral America was till Trump got in charge

How can the New York Times print a piece about Russia Today as propaganda on March 9 — “RT is unquestionably a case study in the complexity of modern propaganda” — and two days later publish a piece like this and keep a straight face? “Allies Fear Trump Is Eroding America’s Moral Authority.”

.Exposing the Real Deep State

Many both within and beyond America’s borders labor under the delusion that US policy is determined by the nation’s elected representatives amid a careful balancing act between the judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government. In reality, the inner workings of US policy resemble nothing of the sort.

In reality, an unelected deep state controls the United States, its resources, government, and people. However, the term “deep state” has been overused and intentionally abused, particularly since the election of US President Donald Trump in an effort to continue concealing the real deep state and divert public attention away from what is becoming an increasingly obvious continuity of agenda from one presidency to the next.

Uncovering and understanding the nature of the real deep state is in fact elementary, but essential in
understanding the genesis and perpetuation of US policy. It is also essential in formulating solutions aimed at reining in the unwarranted power and influence wielded by this seemingly nebulous entity.

.When ‘Disinformation’ Is Truth

Democrats and liberals have climbed into bed with the neocons to push the “Russia-did-it” conspiracy theory as a way to “get Trump,” but this New McCarthyism has grave dangers, writes Robert Parry.

    I’m not going to get on board until I see proof. That includes the claim that Russia was behind the DNC/Podesta leaks and the claim that the CIA did it. Based on what I’ve read, it seems more likely that the leaks were an inside job and that Ukraine may have planted evidence pointing to Russians.
    - Unkawillbur
      
      All the actual evidence I’ve seen screams “insider leak” and, given the timing, I’ve got a couple suspects persons of interest. 😀

        Seth Rich is a possible source, the only one who I’ve seen mentioned who makes any sense. I’ve also read that Huma Abedin may have been the one, but that doesn’t sound realistic to me. Just wondering if Unka had any other ideas.

        Me too. I’d like to hear any other theories or evidence of which I’m not already aware.

      Could be either or some combination thereof. All the info we get is being filtered by people with agendas. I don’t have enough trust in any of them to believe. But I do agree that the most likely scenario is as you say.

  At least they didn’t portray “Democrats” and “Liberals” as the same thing, in the excerpt there, but they did seperate “Democrats” and “Neocons”, as if there’s any difference, at this point. 😀

  Why do you think aht article is by KaroliE or Susie. I know they both have tons of socks and monikers (Anna Whitlock) and it’s the kind of douchey crap they would write, but I’m sure there are tens of thousands of other douchebags out there who would write the same crap.

  - Unkawillbur
    
    I don’t really think it’s either of them, but that article is certainly a parody of them and people who think like them. LOL.
    - Edwin
      
      Oh, yes. For sure.
      
      KaroliE is a really mover-shaker in the Dem establishment and lives at the Calitofrnia coast. She actually approached HER to get Clinton to sign he Anna Whitlock article.
    - EdgarHF
      
      I’m not even sure the article is a parody.
      - Edwin
        
        It’s hard to tell any more.
      - Edwin
        
        90% of what KaroliE writes would also work at The Onion.

The United States Air Force now has more jobs available for drone pilots—known in military parlance as “remote-piloted aircraft” (RPA)—than for any other human-flown aircraft. This is according to a recent report on Military.com.

Citing remarks made by Lt. Gen. Darryl Roberson at a recent Air Force conference held in Florida on March 3, the Air Force specifically has more jobs for MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper drones. Gen. Roberson is the head of air education and training command.

“I never thought I’d say that when I joined the Air Force,” he was quoted as saying. “So we’re really in a much better footing with RPA pilot production in addition to just getting the numbers up.”
