Sixty years on, the ethnic model described in Beyond the Melting Pot merits revisiting

In October 2022, Los Angeles’s ethnic politics cost city council president Nury Martinez her job. In leaked audio, Martinez can be heard discussing the city’s redistricting with two other Hispanic councilmembers and a Hispanic labor leader. In what she would later claim was a moment of frustration, Martinez called fellow council member Mike Bonin’s adopted son a “monkey”—Bonin is white, the son is black—and condemned Los Angeles district attorney George Gascón: “Fuck that guy, he’s with the blacks.”

Lazarus Heist: The intercontinental ATM theft that netted $14m in two hours

Imagine you’re a low-wage worker in India who is offered a day’s employment as an extra in a Bollywood film. Your role? To go to a cash point and withdraw some money.

In 2018, several men in Maharashtra state thought they were accepting a bit-part in a movie – but in fact they were being tricked into being money mules, collecting cash in an ambitious bank heist.

The raid took place over a weekend in August 2018, and centred on Cosmos Co-operative bank, which has its headquarters in Pune.

On a quiet Saturday afternoon, staff in the bank’s head office suddenly received a string of alarming messages.

Thanks to Biden Administration, Iran’s Mullahs Winners of Russia Invasion of Ukraine

“President Biden’s leadership is non-existent…. Look at what’s happening right now with unemployment — eight million jobs are unfilled right now, and President Biden just ushered through a partisan bill to pay people billions of dollars not to work when eight million jobs are unfilled right now. We’re paying people not to work, and they’re borrowing money from our kids and our grandkids to do it…. We’re seeing inflation starting to go through the roof. Our country is less secure. Look at what’s happening around the world — the Middle East, Iran — who the President wants to let back into an agreement to get a nuclear weapon. [The Iranians are] helping funnel these bombs that are being shot into Israel. I mean where is the President’s leadership on any of these crises?” – US Rep. Steve Scalise, Fox News, May 2021.

Right-wing extremists in Germany’s judiciary?

“Rechte Richter” (“Right-Wing Judges”; no English edition so far) is a book published in 2022 by journalist and trained lawyer Joachim Wagner. Its subtitle asks the question: “A danger to the rule of law?”

Wagner is referring to cases like that of Jens Maier, who was a member of Germany’s parliament, the Bundestag, for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party between 2017 and 2021. After his spell in parliament, he wanted to return to his post as a judge in the eastern state of Saxony.

This, however, didn’t happen, because Saxony’s Justice Minister Katja Meier took the matter to court and was successful: Maier, categorized as a right-wing extremist by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), was sent into early retirement. The verdict is not yet final, however, because the suspended judge can appeal the decision.

They are literally insane

There are still a few sane academics in America, but they are a dying breed.

Critical theory has so invaded the academic world that there is almost no point in trying to have a conversation with a university professor. It’s not that they are just wrong about what they believe and what they spout. It’s that they don’t believe that there is an underlying concrete reality that exists outside their own heads.

Russia assumes UN Security Council presidency despite Ukrainian anger

Russia has taken the presidency of the UN Security Council despite Ukraine urging members to block the move.

Each of the council’s 15 members takes up the presidency for a month, on a rotating pattern.

The last time Russia had the presidency, February 2022, it launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

It means the Security Council is being led by a country whose president is subject to an international arrest warrant for alleged war crimes.

Unable to leave Syria, foreign ISIS whores who had kids with Mohammedan psychopaths’ with Canadian passports forfeit repatriation to keep their families together

In a choice forced upon them by the Canadian government, four mothers have made the agonizing decision to forfeit an opportunity to repatriate their children from open air prisons in northeast Syria.

The foreign women have children with Canadian citizens, but their husbands are missing or have been killed in fighting during Syria’s civil war. The government suspects they and their husbands may have traveled to the region to join the Islamic State, but no evidence has been presented in court.

They’re foreign terrorists, nothing was forced on them. They deserve no favour, no mercy.

Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock opened fire after losing $1.5 MILLION while gambling weeks before massacring 60, newly-released FBI files reveal

The Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock killed 60 people and injured hundreds more after losing $1.5million gambling weeks before the shooting, new FBI files revealed.

An FBI interview with the gunman’s fellow gambler detailed in hundreds of pages of documents made public this week’s suggests his loss could have been an influence.

The other gambler, whose name is redacted in the documents, said he believes the stress could have easily caused gunman Stephen Paddock ‘to snap.’ Paddock, 64, was a video poker player who relied on gambling as his main source of income.

Former CSIS officials say decades of China warnings went unheeded

Former CSIS officials say the intelligence agency has been warning successive governments about foreign election interference for decades but all failed to act — and measures outlined in this week’s budget are not enough to address the problem.

“Thirty-two years in national security work, every time we’ve had a crisis, every time we’ve had an incident, that’s what the government’s done. We’ll throw money at the RCMP, we’ll say you folks have got to sort that out. And I don’t think that’s really an appropriate response,” Dan Stanton, former executive manager at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), told a committee of MPs on Friday.
