Positive News from the USA
Re: Positive News from the USA
Nothing wrong with Jindal not wanting to be called an Indian-American if that is what is required for his professional well-being -- he is pretty open about this, which is better than being "Indian American" like Vijay Prashad or Anjana Chatterji or their ilk. Pretty silly to hold this against Jindal. Knowing who your enemies are is a pre-requisite for being realistic.

Thus fell another American Freedom Fighter.Matt was shot and killed by a border patrol SWAT team at about 3:45 p.m. in Elephant's Head, New York, about 20 miles south of the Canadian border and just 50 miles away from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, NY after he was spotted by a law enforcement officer walking in the woods.
Officials believe the other convicted murder he escaped with, David Sweat, is still on the run, sources said. State police know Sweat's "general vicinity" and were “trying to close him off now," but did not have a clear idea as to his exact location. According to officials, dogs picked up a scent around 2 a.m. Sen. Chuck Schumer, who said he was briefed on the incident, said that law enforcement were contacted by a woman who got a knock at her door, he told ABC News Station WABC. She didn't answer the door, but instead called police, Schumer said. That's when dogs picked up the scent and began to close in from the north and west.

Poor, sad, white, piyush."Marriage between a man and a woman was established by God, and no earthly court can alter that," Jindal said in a written statement while traveling in Iowa, "If we want to save some money lets just get rid of the court."

Fox News Host Megyn Kelly Reminds Caucasian Children How Great It Is To Be White
Last week, Fox News host Megyn Kelly helped white American children’s self esteem and restored faith in their race by reminding them that two of their most beloved role models were white just like them; Jesus Christ and Santa Claus.
...
Kelly released a statement about the whole ordeal, and was quoted saying “For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white,” Kelly said. “But this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa. But Santa is what he is. Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn’t mean it has to change, you know? I mean, Jesus was a white man too. He was a historical figure, that’s a verifiable fact, as is Santa — I just want the kids watching to know that.”

Colorado couple charged with starving six-year-old daughter
"On admission, her weight was 25 pounds, which would be appropriate for a normal two-year-old," the statement said. "Medical experts reportedly believed that her low weight was consistent with an insufficient diet despite plentiful food in the family home."
According to an affidavit from an investigator, the couple told staff at the Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora, a Denver suburb, that their daughter was "out of control," and that they had to keep locks on the pantry and refrigerator doors because she would not stop eating.
The affidavit said Jason Barton later told police that the couple punished their daughter when she misbehaved by making her walk "laps" of their driveway in Evergreen, about 20 miles southwest of Denver.
A witness, whose name was redacted in the investigator's report, told police he had seen the girl crying as she ran up and down outside the home, and that he heard her father tell the child: "This is because you are stealing food."
Hospital staff likened the girl's appearance on admission to that of a concentration camp victim, the affidavit said.

A statement that will no doubt be repeated many times until his campaign is dead, or he passes a decree as L'Empereur J'Indall XIV banning all dissent."If we want to save some money lets just get rid of the court."
OF course T-Partyists may admire his 'courage' but Their Honners could very well drag him up there for contempt of court.
Among other things, a Governor, let alone President, is supposed to uphold the Constitution, hain?

Such a smooth transition - like from Goldman-Sachs to the Federal Reserve or Sec. of the Treasury. Slave trader to telling slaves that it is all their fault: Repent, Sinners! Etc.written by the English poet and clergyman (and slave trader) John Newton (1725–1807). in the Royal Navy, and after leaving the service, he became involved in the Atlantic slave trade. Whilst his boat was being repaired in Lough Swilly, he wrote the first verse of his world famous song. He did however, continue his slave trading career until 1754 or 1755, when he ended his seafaring altogether and began studying Christian theology. Ordained in the Church of England in 1764, Newton became curate of Olney, Buckinghamshire

Meanwhile, from our Railway Customer Experience Series
Security video appears to show a Philadelphia transit officer shove a man holding a toddler against the wall and grab him by the throat as they argued over whether he paid the $2.25 fare.
The video shows the man swinging back at the officer and later being forcibly removed from the train still holding the small girl. He was then handcuffed on the platform and charged with resisting arrest.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority video shows police speaking intermittently with 20-year-old Ellis Smith for about 15 minutes Thursday evening. The train eventually came to a stop and some rush-hour service was halted over the stalemate.
The veteran officer involved in the confrontation later told a supervisor he feared he would be disciplined if he walked away, SEPTA's police chief said Friday.
"If a 16-year officer thinks they can't step away from a situation that's spiraling into something that might jeopardize the safety of a child, that's on me. I never want a child's safety to be jeopardized," Chief Thomas Nestel said.
Nestel has waged an aggressive campaign against fare evaders, issuing 5,100 citations last year, on the theory that those passengers often cause other problems. He often posts their pictures on social media, and said the strategy has led to a significant drop in transit crime.
However, he recognized that fare evasion is not murder, and said his officers are not trained to grab people by the throat.
"We don't want to be rolling around on a platform with every person we arrest for fare evasion," Nestel said.
An internal investigation is underway. The officer involved in the shoving match was off Friday.
"I don't know that I'll be taking him off the street," Nestel said.
There is no transit video of Smith jumping the turnstile or otherwise evading the fare because the north Philadelphia station where he entered is under construction, Nestel said. The information instead came from a cashier, he said.
However, a passenger's video that caught some of his interaction with police was posted online and drew hundreds of thousands of views. A home number for Smith could not be determined Friday and it was not clear if he had a lawyer or had posted bail.
Fare evaders are typically removed, asked for identification and given a $300 citation, transit officials said.
The young girl — dressed in a pink dress and braids — is about 1 or 2 years old and believed to be Smith's daughter, Nestel said. She was taken to her mother after Smith's arrest.
"We can't endanger the lives of little kids over a fare evasion," Nestel said. "That's unacceptable."

White Majority Christians in North Carolina and Georgia assist in reconstructing Black churches after Racist shooting in South Carolina
American Inter-racial Christian Fellowship Blazes Forth
June 27, NSN Atlanta: America has long since been the beacon of fairness justice and racial equality and the shining light on the hill for other decrepit states that are in the throes of development, especially lagging behind in the areas of human rights and brotherhood. The recent shooting in South Carolina brought forth the wonderful qualities of the USA as a nation, when it stood together to take down racist flags about 7 decades after making the pretense of equal civil rights for all americans.
Continuing this trend members of the KKK and other white supremacy groups in Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina took it upon themselves to help black churches get reconstructed in due course. Rev. Jack A. Pudlicker of the Souther Baptist Mission in Atlanta and a former regional head of the KKK pointedly noted "In the great tradition of USA as the land of the free and home of the brave, my KKK brethren decided to pay back the people who took down the confederate flags from our state parliament buildings by setting their churches on fire."
Rev. Brian D. koknocker of the all-white Baptist Congregation in the same neighborhood made a gesture of the cross and then said "Truly, Jesus is the embodiment of all that is love and hope and glory and brotherhood, and provides us with the inner fire to spread his message of peace and love by setting fire to churches where inflammable people congregate. Hail to King James for showing white christians the way forward. We hope that people will freely donate, and reach into their hearts and their pocketbooks to help these churches to be rebuilt in the grand american spirit of love and brotherhood, the hallmark of good christians and people of the book, like myself and my KKK brothers". Police contacted us on this event and we pointed out that we were spreading love in the name of Jesus and the love and friendship that is embodied by the confederate flag."
The churches in the neighborhood were organizing several fundraising drives to assist the colored churches in the region via the purchase of gasoline, guns and other inflammatory material. "We hope to deliver all of these items from the bake sales here to be donated to the black churches in the neighborhood. Already several young white christians have signed up to deliver the materials to all parts of the south. Glory be to Jesus. Peace, my brother", concluded the Rev. Dr. Adam Dongchoker, area head of the Pentecostal churches and a grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan.
Dr. James Brickbutt, the head of the southern Baptist black churches was only mildly appreciatory of the events "This is the first time that I have felt so low since the time when lord of Gods Jesus, ensured the enslavement of black Africans to serve as slaves in building America for white people so many centuries ago. In our ignorance back then, the black man did not understand that the message of love and brotherhood in christianity that ensured we remained slaves for centuries, and for that we thank Jesus. Love and Ignorance will prevail in the end".
Then, along with his talented Choir, Dr. Brickbutt sang an ode praising Jesus, and delivered a lecture on how slavery was unchristian and Jesus was the only nice white guy, and why overlooking the fact that Jesus's teachings were central for the enslavement of African blacks was just a minor abberration. He then invited this NSN journalist for a personal interview anytime, and headed back to see if his church was still standing or had been reconstructed by his white christian brothers. - NSN Staff Report

Funfact: The first time I saw white triangular hood and robe wearing "protestors" standing at a traffic light with signs I wanted to park, get out and see what they were doing in the funny dress. Yes, I was prevented by others in said vehicle. Also, I didnt come home and check up on the group. I was an ignorant buffoon for many more years. Teaches me to this day how many ordinary facts escape us, all the time.

Re: B, Any idiot can drape flags around his house without killing anyone, but that is not in line with USA's kill or kill-some-more spirit.

China denounces US human rights record
Jun 26, 2015
China has released a report on a "terrible human rights record" in the United States, denouncing the country for its overseas drone attacks, state-sponsored spying, police brutality and gun crimes.
The report, which was issued by China's State Council on Friday, said that the US is being "haunted by spreading guns, frequent occurrence of violent crimes, [and] the excessive use of force by police."
The report added that Washington has been “violating human rights in other countries" with drone strikes and mass surveillance programs” in recent years.
US intelligence has been using "indiscriminate" torture against terrorist suspects following the September 11th attacks in 2001, it noted.
Highlighting police killings of several unarmed black men, which has sparked protests over the past year across various American cities, the report emphasizes that the US justice system suffers from "serious racial bias" and discrimination against people of color.
The report also pointed out that American administration and institutions continue to be plagued by the "grim problems of racial discrimination, and institutional discrimination against ethnic minorities."
The report comes a day after the United States issued a similar report criticizing China’s rights record.
According to leaked top secret US government spying programs by former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and NSA have been eavesdropping on millions of American and European phone records and Internet data from major Internet companies.
The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has also been launching drone strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen, saying the airstrikes target Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked militants in those countries. Yet, official figures show that most of the victims were civilians.
In recent years, several videos have emerged showing American police assaulting teenagers and women in various parts of the country.
Gun violence across the US has also been under the spotlight, especially after a shooter killed 20 first-grade school children and six staff members using an assault rifle in a rampage at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012.
More than 5,000 people have reportedly been killed and over 10,000 injured by gun violence across the US since 1 January 2015.

Donald Trump Triumphs Once Again !

- A television company controlled by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has canceled a project with real estate developer and TV personality Donald Trump after his comments insulting Mexicans, Slim's spokesman said on Monday.

This is the third company to cut ties with Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the November 2016 presidential election. NBC said earlier on Monday that it would no longer air the "Miss USA" and "Miss Universe" pageants due to his comments. Spanish-language broadcaster Univision [UVN.UL] also said on Thursday it would not air the "Miss USA" pageant.
Firmly subscribes to the old adage: No publicity is bad publicity !Trump, earlier this month, described migrants from Mexico to the United States as drug-runners and rapists !.

South Carolina reaffirms faith in confederate flag and the message of christian love
Jun 30, Charleston: Reaffirming its message of unity, love and christian brotherhood, the Ku Klux Klan announced a city wide block party and confederate flag hoisting on July 4. "This is the time when we have to show what America stands for well and truly, and we hope to do it on a day where freedom was snatched away from us", said a Grand Dragon of the KKK Charleston clan who refused to divulge his real identity, except to indicate that he was a former chief of police of Charleston and his colleagues in the KKK were also influential members who spent their entire lives in the service of the American Public as judges, District Attorneys and Public prosecutors. "The end to slavery was the beginning of the downfall of a righteous christian nation like the USA, where good, white christian citizens are being deprived of their right to maim, kill, rape and shoot non christians and coloured people in their quest to spread Jesus's message of peace, love, unity and brotherhood.", added a young man with a tattoo of the cross all over his body, and "KKK -- Reunite and Regain" T-shirt.
The July 4th city-wide block party is expected to be attended by most of the police force, though officially they are on security details. "I want my 4 kids to have a good clean christian fun day on July 4th, and I hope to enroll them all in the National Rifle Association boutique that will be present in the mall square where the block party will be in full swing. It is time to take america back", said a south carolina police officer who requested to remain anonymous.
America is a powerful country with the reputation as the only country to use a nuclear bomb on another country, and a reputation for savage warmongering and serial genocide in almost all continents on the planet, except for antarctica (Editor: at the time when this article was written) . It is also the only country to establish the most number of organizations that allegedly fight for human rights and religious freedom in countries that are not America.

Family: Girl, 4, shot by officer firing at dog is recovering
A 4-year-old girl who was shot in the leg when a police officer fired at a dog is recovering after surgery as her family questions how the officer responded.
Ava Ellis was hit accidentally on the afternoon of June 19 when an officer fired at a charging dog at a home in Whitehall, in central Ohio, according to Columbus police. The department said another relative had flagged down the officer for help after the girl's mother cut herself on glass.
Ava's parents, Andrea and Brad Ellis, and their attorney disputed the police account Tuesday and alleged the policeman fired unnecessarily and acted recklessly with children nearby on the porch. They say the roughly 40-pound dog, a bulldog mix named Patches, was retreating inside from the porch when the officer fired.
"The dog may have barked at the officer; however, the officer should not have shot," attorney Michael Wright said. "There was absolutely no reason for him to shoot. He was within 10 (or) 12 feet of the children."
The family also says people yelled to notify the officer that the girl was hurt but claims he drove away without offering help, and other emergency responders had to care for the girl.

Californians struggle for 'normal life,' without water
A washing machine stands in the middle of Maria Jimenez's California yard, like a redundant relic of modern life. Nearby are several rented mobile toilets, no longer in use.
For four months, she and her family have had no running water.
"We are trying to live a normal life," the 52-year-old told AFP in the town of Monson, 200 miles north of Los Angeles.
Hers is one of a growing number of generally low-income households with no direct access to water in central California's Valley, known as America's food basket, where four years of extreme drought have left many residents high and dry.
Jimenez and her husband use plastic plates and cups in order to save using water for washing the dishes, all the while generating piles of garbage and extra expenses.
...
Even before the well that supplied their house dried up, they couldn't drink its water, which was polluted with pesticides from nearby fields.
Now they have no water at all, and things aren't likely to change anytime soon.
"We don't have water in a country that is rich," Jimenez's neighbor Laura Garcia said.
Born in Mexico, she recalled how as a girl living in a small village near Guadalajara, she would haul water more than a mile (1.6 kilometers) to her house.
Today, even her childhood hamlet in Mexico has running water.
She doesn't dare tell her family back in Mexico about her situation in the United States.
"They would tell me 'Come home! What are you doing there?'" she said in Spanish.

Here is another example of rich and powerful whites playing by their own rules while they preach and enforce a different set of rules on the rest.
Texas attorney general could face felony indictment: special prosecutor
Special prosecutors will ask a Texas grand jury as early as this month to indict the state's attorney general on first-degree felony charges for suspected securities laws violations, one of the prosecutors said on Thursday.
A spokesman for Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican who came to office earlier this year with strong Tea Party support, was not immediately available for comment.
"There is evidence that needs to be presented to the grand jury about a couple of different violations. One of which that they will have to determine is if securities fraud was present," said attorney Kent Schaffer, appointed to investigate the suspected violations.

>> central California's Valley, known as America's food basket, where four years of extreme drought have left many residents high and dry.
they have been raping acquifiers and pumping in fertilizers into central valley for decades now...anyone who goes there like i did can see the soil is not that fertile, there aint no himalayan rivers bringing in fresh silt and the productivity is just a function of inputs into a land that is already zombiefied. in ancient times must have been rivers draining from sierra nevada to the west but all dead now except the colorado river.
simple fact as told my others is that CA cannot support its current 40 million population and ever growing number of new entrants. its upper half is untracked wilderness like the mendocino and klamath national forests, and its lower half is semi-arid and gets little rainfall....no lush east coast or great lakes type vegetation.
but it isnt as bad as places like phoenix where acres of housing with backyard pools abut on to pure desert land!
in generally a geologically stable cold/temperate place like north america cannot grow the kind of crops or have such diversity as a hotter wetter place like india or central america can. its all propped up on subsidy, inputs, cheap energy, steroidal seeds.
peace, progress and development onlee

Re: Positive News from the USA
Paratrooper lands in mall instead of airport, N. Carolina instead of Georgia, and gets arrested.
(CNN)Police arrested a soldier carrying an AR-15 rifle and ammunition at a Fayetteville, North Carolina, mall after officers received multiple reports of an armed man walking through a Macy's department store. Bryan Wolfinger was tracked down within minutes near the Macy's wing of the Cross Creek Mall on Thursday evening, police said. He was detained without incident, according to police, and charged with "going armed to the terror of the public."
Wolfinger, who is assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, was carrying the rifle, a Kevlar vest and multiple ammunition magazines, and he intended to have photographs taken with the gun and the other equipment, CNN affiliate WNCN reported, citing Fayetteville police.
Police have released Wolfinger, and he is "with his chain of command," said Master Sgt. Patrick Malone, a spokesman for 82nd Airborne Division.![]()

"These charges represent actions that are wholly inconsistent with the high standards and values we expect from our paratroopers," Malone said. Fort Bragg is fully cooperating with the police investigation, he said. While initial reports indicated that a second armed man was in the mall, Wolfinger was found to be acting alone. Officers searched the entire mall to be sure there was no second armed man present, the police statement said.
CNN's Dave Alsup contributed to this report.

Ulan, there is a kind of scare thing among southern folk and associated CP theorists that wide ranging US army exercises are a prelude to some Dark Dawn where world jewry/illuminati/GOTUS 'takes over' the freedom lovin south and takes away freedoms etc.
one state governor (Texas
) has asked the state national guard and poleece to follow around and monitor these US army units on exercise, lest they step outa line and trample all over citizens freedoms 
it was a joint seal+green beret exercise across several states called jade helm 15.

Meanwhile, in yet another place far far away,

Surprisingly no one seemed to be in fear of anything from "two muskets, a dagger, a knife, and a sword". Can them A-rabs and moh-slems dress as pirates now?Spering shot one round from a musket into the water and then turned and fired another at cars. Don't worry — they were only black-powder rounds, not real ammunition, but it suffices to say that a man dressed as a pirate and firing a gun toward a road still had a lot of drivers shivering their timbers (in fact, one took a cell-phone video that was handed over to police).
