Some of the armed men look like (if not equal in capability/training) to US mil soldiers with matching gears...I saw a few folks with PAGST style ballistic helmets...with AR-15 slinging down. Amazing...I think 6 died over the weekend during clashes at Charleston, NC & somewhere in Virginia.

^^ a subset are ex armymen in these militias. a subset of police are also ex army. i think civilian AR15 have the auto/semi auto mode removed and are supposed to be 1-shot mode only, but there are DIY types who know how to restore and heavily modify these things incl complete tool shops to make needed parts...now maybe even 3d printed

a potent mix of guns rights, nativism, mistrust of big govt, white race theory, immigrant phobia, economic stagnation and inability of govt to pay off angry farmers and ranchers with more subsidies is playing into these movements.

Since May, people who have been convicted of a crime in Sparta, Tennessee, can reduce the length of their sentence on one condition: They must agree to be sterilized.

“I hope to encourage them to take personal responsibility,” said Judge Sam Benningfield, who approved the program.

In the two months since the policy went into effect, 32 women have received a birth control implant called Nexplannon, and 38 men are waiting to have a vasectomy.

Whether Benningfield knows it or not, the people he is sterilizing in the White County jail are merely the latest in a long line of incarcerated and low-income people to be sterilized under coercion or force by the criminal or social welfare systems in the United States.

In 1907, Indiana became the first state to pass a law allowing for compulsory sterilization of “confirmed criminals” and “idiots.” Thirty-one states soon followed suit.

In 1972, we sued on behalf of two young sisters who were sterilized in 1972 without their consent in Alabama. Sterilization laws began to be dismantled during that era, but eugenics practices have continued around the country. In California, for example, nearly 150 female prisoners underwent tubal ligations without their lawful consent between 2004 and 2013.

America is not the only country to forcibly sterilize its citizens in the 21st century. In Europe, if a transgender person wanted to change their name or gender on government-issued documents, nearly two dozen countries mandated their sterilization until April of this year, when the European Court of Human Rights ruled that requirement to be an institutionalized violation of human rights.

But that victory for transgender rights came only after a sustained campaign by the hate group Alliance Defending Freedom to try to keep the sterilization requirement.

“Equal dignity does not mean that every sexual orientation warrants equal respect,” wrote ADF International in an intervention brief.

Obviously, we disagree. But ADF’s efforts to see a continued policy of mandated sterilization of transgender people are in keeping with its support of the fraudulent practice of gay-to-straight conversion therapy and the argument of its first president, Alan Sears, that pedophilia and homosexuality are "intrinsically linked" (a dangerous falsehood long propagated by anti-LGBT hate groups).

Such stances are why we named Alliance Defending Freedom a hate group — and why, as David Perry writes of incarcerated people for The Marshall Project, “No one should be compelled to trade their reproductive freedom for corporal freedom.”

We’ll keep fighting for the rights of transgender and incarcerated people alike.

The Editors.

Something tells me the fed judges are not going to be terribly pleased at the POTUSian pardon. If he continues the contempt would it be double jeopardy to slap him in jail again I wonder. Or maybe put him in a lockup where the guards are not his admirers....

they are a motley coalition of various tribes and causes ranging from environment, race, political philosophy , globalization , lgbt ....

they are fairly brutal in using violence like the commies in india and skilled in using the media & academia to their advantage. the US RW fringe comes across as heavily armed but hamhanded and clumsy with little ability to get support from the core urban upper middle class white population.

So in this war, those who are more brutal and who has MSM in their side will win? I think so. As of today, almost all major universities are leftee controlled which will put our JNU to shame. Most of the MSM is left. GOP fellows are either EJ or racist loonies or wimps at best. I do not see them taking of the Antifa fellows anytime soon. They do not have any support in MSM and the SM at best is a guerrilla force if used effectively and not a large standing army.

Soon we may be welcoming the new socialist republic of United States.

The Cold War warriors in the US establishment are on a roll.The name of the game is "dump Russia".Now the dpl offensive has gone berserk.Asking Russia to close down its consulates is only going to hurt the US more than Russia,who will no doubt retaliate in like manner. If the US and Russia go down this tit-for-tat road,then dpl .communications-essential for cordial relations and cooperation on critical issues like the war against ISIS and or people-to-people contact.
Russian ambassador comments on US demand to close three Russian diplomatic facilities

On Thursday, the US demanded that Russia close down three of its diplomatic facilities on the American territory

US demands Russia close down 3 diplomatic facilities on American territory
WASHINGTON, August 31. /TASS/. It is important to clear out the situation around Washington's new decisions on Russian diplomatic legations cool-headedly and without hysterical fits, the new Russian Ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov said on Thursday.
"We need a cool, sober and professional course of actions now," he told reporters upon arrival at the Dulles International Airport.
"Speaking in Lenin’s words, we don’t need the hysterical fits," Antonov said.
"My fellow-diplomats and I will do our job professionally," he said.
On Thursday, the US demanded that Russia close down three of its diplomatic facilities on the American territory, claiming the move stemmed from the willingness to maintain diplomatic balance.
Heather Nauert, the official spokesman for the US Department of State said in a written statement on Thursday the demand for closure concerned the U.S. Consulate General in San Francisco and to cut down the diplomatic presence in Washington and New York.

"BUffoonery" says Russia's Zakharova.
Zakharova slams searches at Russian diplomatic facilities in US as 'buffoonery’

Russian Politics & Diplomacy September 03, 6:22 UTC+3
"Looking at the footage of searches at Russian diplomatic missions, I realize that this was some kind of an infernal buffoonery - foolish, illegal and senseless," Maria Zakharova said

MOSCOW, September 3. /TASS/. The searches at Russian diplomatic facilities in the United States were "an infernal buffoonery" that insulted the dignity of those ordered to conduct them in the first place, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s official spokeswoman said on Sunday.
"Looking at the footage of searches at Russian diplomatic missions, I realize that this was some kind of an infernal buffoonery - foolish, illegal and senseless," Maria Zakharova said.
"Maybe they wanted to insult us. Surely they did, no doubts about that. However, it’s the US law enforcers whose dignity was insulted, who had to pry into other people’s corners, poke about in their closets and fake a smile while turning their faces away from cameras," she added. "I feel sorry for them."
On August 31, Washington demanded that Moscow close down its Consulate-General in San Francisco and the trade mission in Washington, as well as its New York branch, by September 2. The US side says that the building’s diplomatic immunity expired at 14:00 on Saturday (21:00 Moscow time). Nikolai Lakhonin, the head of the Russian Embassy’s press service, earlier told TASS that the building of the Russian trade mission in Washington was searched.
On Saturday, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Anthony Godfrey, the Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Embassy in Moscow, to hand him a note of protest over the US authorities’ plans to conduct searches at the trade mission building in Washington.
