[SANFRANCISCO.CBSLOCAL] In the month of November, city data shows there were 3,375 reports of larceny theft in the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... — the overwhelming majority of those were car break-ins.SFPD’s Central District, home to tourist hot spots including Fisherman’s Wharf and Chinatown, sees the highest number of smash-and-grabs.
In fact, last month alone, there were 876 reports — that’s almost 30 a day — compared with 442 last November.
It’s still up from the year before, when there 734 cases pre-pandemic.
"I’ve always seen a lot of glass here so it’s no surprise it’s been going on for years. I’ve lived here in the 90s and my car has been broken into actually, not as of late, it was probably in the last 20 years, broken into twice," said Aileen McAllister, who lives in the Marina.

As usual. Democrats demand money and nothing gets better, only worse. Consistent grade of F for this group. They wanted a third world and they have it in their own pile of mess. My hope is they continue to live amongst their own. Misery loves company. They live in the meat grinder of their own choosing. Change?; never, they are right and everyone else is wrong. In time the genetics of these people will be their dead end.As with caged animals the brain grows smaller. Survival instincts lost. They will always turn on each other, what is easiest or close at hand. I have seen this in the past during the city riot years.

Why shouldn't these folks break into cars? For the most part we've abandoned any concept of an external morality, the chances of them getting arrested are as far as I can tell infinitesimal, and in San Francisco the victims aren't likely to shoot back. I guess one of the victims might throw a vente latte at them, but that's it.

Look behind the liberal,Soros/progressive backed DA’s and consider why the biggest city locations were selected. High minority criminal demographic and major media news coverage to ensure widespread coverage. Now add in decreasing police budget and the chilling effect of LEOs being prosecuted for aggressive policing. You get criminal chaos viewed by the widest cross-sections of thr public. A frightening massive public safety crisis that seems to threaten everyone and screams for a quick solution. TaDa, national police force. Now the federal government is in complete charge of law enforcement at every level. And the first thing they come for, the Second Amendment. Once that is well underway imagine what the Central Committee has in store for the workers….think about it my friends. Yes, it is that serious and planned by people who want the end of our nation.

3000/month (month has 30 days on average) so 30 into 3000 is 100 reported car break-ins a day. A day has 24 hours, so 24 into 100 is 4.16~ an hour, an hour is 60 minutes so 4 into 60 is 15 minutes. So, every 1/4 of an hour there is a reported car break-in.
Next SF is going to tell us that they beat up Santa Claus
[JustTheNews] Forty of the 50 states plus Washington, D.C. were given a failing grade in their response to child and youth sex trafficking, according to a report by the nonprofit Shared Hope International.
According to the report, Alaska is the lowest-ranked state, while Florida is the top-ranked, with an overall grade of C and a score of 72.5 out of a possible 110 points.
States are scored on six different policy issues and given "extra credit" for extending certain protective policies to youth aged 18 to 24 and child labor trafficking victims.
[The Blaze] A CNN employee was charged with three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to entice underage girls to engage in unlawful sexual activity. John Griffin, 44, was arrested on Friday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to federal prosecutors.
Griffin, of Stamford, Connecticut, attempted to persuade parents to allow him to train their underage daughters to be sexually submissive, according to the Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Vermont.
"According to the indictment, from April to July of 2020, Griffin utilized the messaging applications Kik and Google Hangouts to communicate with people purporting to be parents of minor daughters, conveying to them, among other ideas, that a 'woman is a woman regardless of her age,' and that women should be sexually subservient and inferior to men," the Department of Justice statement reads.
"In June of 2020, Griffin advised a mother of 9- and 13-year-old daughters that the mother’s responsibility was to see that her older daughter was 'trained properly.' Griffin later transferred over $3,000 to the mother for plane tickets so the mother and her 9-year-old daughter could fly from Nevada to Boston’s Logan airport," the statement says. "The mother and child flew to Boston in July of 2020, where Griffin picked them up in his Tesla and drove them to his Ludlow house. At the house, the daughter was directed to engage in, and did engage in, unlawful sexual activity."

So I guess if judges can make up their own laws (Fruit of the Poisoned Tree, etc), it would be unreasonable to prevent prosecutors from doing the same.

Is it really a 'precedent?' I thought parents were responsible for what their kids did - like not preventing kids' alcohol use at their parties. And from the evidence presented in the article there were plenty of warning signs of which the parents were aware. (So were or should have been the authorities.) This looks like a typically preventable tragedy.

Oddly, every time I see people complaining about students praying with their coaches or mentors, I always think, come out to the oil field and complain when we circle and pray for a safe hitch, safe job tonight and everyone going home to their families with the same number of body parts they left with.
We maybe something of a fractious and loud family here at the 'burg, but family. From my family to all the burg families, please have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, or whatever you celebrate, it's all good. We know what's required to be counted among the good and decent human beings, so let's help each other be the best humans we can.
And with all the driving, please be careful, be safe, take it slow and if you're tired, take a nap before or even pull off somewhere on the road and take one. Too many of my oilfield brothers have been lost on the way home in car wrecks. Don't want to lose any 'burg people either.
Oh dear. It looks like someone has been reading Tales From The Crossfire Gazette, and missed the point completely.
[BenarNews] The United States on Friday imposed financial sanctions on the notorious Bangladeshi police unit RAB and six of its current and former officers, saying they were responsible for serious human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... abuses.
In addition, Benazir Ahmed, a former director general of the force, was barred from entering the United States "due to his involvement in gross violations of human rights."
Washington announced the move on International Human Rights Day, unveiling sanctions against "15 individuals and 10 entities" around the globe.
"Widespread allegations of serious human rights abuse in Bangladesh by the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) ... threaten U.S. national security interests by undermining the rule of law and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the economic prosperity of the people of Bangladesh," the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement.
The force, which comprises members of the police, army, navy, air force, and border guard, is accused of more than 600 enforced disappearances in the past 12 years, a similar number of extrajudicial killings, and use of torture, the statement noted.
RAB was founded in 2004, and charged with internal security, intelligence gathering related to criminal activities, and government-directed investigations, according to the U.S. treasury.
In Dhaka, prior to the announcement, about 100 relatives of disappeared people marked International Human Rights Day with a protest outside the National Press Club with tears and chants of "Give them back!"
On Thursday, Human Rights Watch had lodged its strongest call yet for action against RAB, saying that U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres should immediately ban RAB officers from participating in United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... peacekeeping missions. HRW also called on the world body to ramp up screening of those officers deployed under its blue-and-white flag to ensure that its human rights screening policy was being effectively applied in Bangladesh.
"Nobody believes the Bangladesh government’s lies about enforced disappearances by its security forces," said Brad Adams. Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "The question now is what donors and the U.N. are going to do about it."
The six officers named by the Treasury Department are Chowdhury Abdullah al-Mamun, the current director general of RAB; Benazir Ahmed, its former director general; Khan Mohammad Azad, an additional director general of the force; and Tofayel Mustafa Sorwar, Mohammad Jahangir Alam, and Mohammad Anwar Latif Khan, all former additional director generals at RAB.
The U.S. Treasury Department sanctions bar U.S. citizens from conducting business with or making contributions to the sanctioned individuals and block access to any property they hold in the United States.
PANTHEON Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo watched the circling Commanches and asked himself What would Geronimo do?... U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken named two Bangladeshis on a list of 12 foreign government officials barred from entering the United States.
He cited a 2021 U.S. law enabling the move against individuals and their immediate family members when "there is credible information that officials of foreign governments have been involved in a gross violation of human rights or significant corruption."
The statement named Benazir Ahmed — the former RAB director-general who is currently Bangladesh’s police chief — and Miftah Uddin Ahmed, a current lieutenant colonel and former commanding officer of RAB Unit 7, for the May 2018 killing of Teknaf City Municipal Councilor Ekramul Haque in Cox’s Bazar, in southeastern Bangladesh.
"We are determined to put human rights at the center of our foreign policy, and we reaffirm this commitment by using appropriate tools and authorities to draw attention to and promote accountability for human rights violations and abuses, no matter where they occur," Blinken said.
The U.S. moves placed RAB in a pantheon of the worst rights abusers in the world, including those involved in the racial profiling and mass detention of ethnic Uyghurs in China, the slaughter of civilians in post-coup Myanmar, and the exploitation of North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... n workers abroad.
BenarNews tried to contact RAB authorities for a response to the U.S. sanctions, but phone calls and messages were not answered.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal rejected the U.S. sanctions, saying they were "in no way justified."
"The basis on which the action has been taken does not reflect the ground reality," Khan told BenarNews Friday night.
"Ours is a country of 170 million people. Policing here is not as easy as in other countries. The police officials in Bangladesh discharge their duties with much patience," he said.
"While discharging their duties, they must confront many security situations; sometimes they are forced to fire for self-defense. They are entitled to defend themselves," Khan said, referring to allegations of extrajudicial killings.
"In case any members of the law enforcement agencies are found to have violated laws, we punish them accordingly," he added.
In August, while responding to a Human Rights Watch report on enforced disappearances, Foreign Minister A.K. Abdul Momen said they were "fabricated."
"Some people dissociate themselves from their families and then they come back home after some days," he told BenarNews. He said incidents of killings and disappearances happened everywhere.
"When people were killed in America by law enforcement agencies they called it in the line of duty, but when it happens in our cyopeople[journalists] call it extrajudicial killing," he said. "This mentality has to be changed."
’NATIONAL SHAME’
Activist Sanjida Islam, whose group "Mother is Calling" (Mayer Daak) represents relatives of disappeared people, welcomed news of the U.S. sanctions.
Her brother, Sajedul Islam Sumon — a leader of the opposition Bangladesh National Party (BNP) — went missing in December 2013 after RAB officers whisked him away from a residential neighborhood in Dhaka, she said. He has not been seen since.
"We are glad. This is the first time the state law enforcement agency RAB comes under question from anyone. No domestic institution could [raise] any question about their unlawful activities in Bangladesh," Islam told BenarNews.
"The family members of the victims of enforced disappearances have gone to every institution of Bangladesh to get their sons or brothers back, but in vain," she said.
Nur Khan Liton, a human rights activist and former executive director of the rights advocacy NGO Ain o Salish Kendra, said the U.S. action against RAB was correct.
"We, the human rights activists in Bangladesh, have been clamoring for years that the law enforcement agencies such as RAB have been carrying out extrajudicial killings in the pretext of ’crossfire’ and are responsible for enforced disappearances," he told BenarNews.
"But the state did not heed our concerns. They did not attach importance to our observations. The state repeatedly shrugged off the responsibility for the gross human rights violations," he said.
"I think this is a matter of national shame when we see a foreign country adopts a resolution of sanction on a state agency of Bangladesh for the violation of human rights," Khan said.
"The sanction would not have come had they taken our concerns and observations seriously."

[LI] Many U.S. universities are cooperating with academic institutions embedded within Communist China’s military and nuclear weapons program, a report published this week warns.
"Dozens of U.S. universities maintain ties to Chinese universities that conduct defense research in support of Beijing’s military buildup, including work related to the country’s nuclear weapons program," the NBC News reported, citing the study titled "The Middle Kingdom Meets Higher Education" published by the the DC-based think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD).
Confucius Institute: Beijing’s Trojan Horse
The primary tool of China’s infiltration on U.S. college campuses are the Beijing-funded Confucius Institutes, the 68-page report authored by FDD’s Adjunct Fellow Craig Singleton found.
The report vindicates the position taken by former President Donald Trump’s administration, which took measures to weed out these Beijing-controlled institutes from U.S. universities.
In August 2020, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described the Confucius Institutes operating at U.S. campuses as "an entity advancing Beijing’s global propaganda and malign influence." These institutes were working to recruit "spies and collaborators" at American campuses, Pompeo warned.
Following the tough stance taken by the Trump State Department, the number of Confucius Institutes have dropped from 113 in 2018 to 28 in 2021. The FDD report concludes that the "CI closures have significantly eroded malign Chinese influence on college campuses."
Even after their closure, the nefarious influence of CIs could be a lasting one, the report revealed:

The mainland is a closed society. Entrepreneurism is a nearly genetic code of culture. Intelligence collection is no exception.
We condone their 'Trojan horse' students, they accept our NIH, CDC, WHO 'gain of function' laundered funding. We answer intelligence gaps (shortfalls) on both ends by monitoring communications and recruiting potential sources. What's not to like ?
Trump had to go. He was killing a long-running project.

[ET] China’s Belt and Road Initiative has resulted in debt traps for a number of countries. Laos may have just joined the list with the opening of the China-Laos railway on Dec. 3.
Countries such as Kenya and Ethiopia are already struggling to repay China’s Belt and Road loans, while Laos, a landlocked country, still has great expectations for the Beijing-initiated railway project, hoping that it will energize its agriculture-based economy.
The debt incurred by Laos, $3.54 billion, is close to one fifth of Laos’ 2020 GDP, which was $19.14 billion. If Laos fails to repay its debts, it will have to use its natural resources, such as bauxite and potassium mines, to repay the debt.
Laos’ outstanding debt, most of which is owed to China, is equal to approximately two-thirds of its annual economic output, according to a Dec. 2 report by the Associated Press (AP).
The AP report quoted Greg Raymond, a Southeast Asian expert at Australian National University, as saying,"Laos has put itself in a position where if the railway doesn’t make a profit, then it’s got real debt issues."
Raymond told BBC that China will have a double benefit from the railway project. First, the line helps to connect China and Southeast Asian countries in its backyard by rail, greatly facilitating China’s access to those countries. Second, China can use the new special economic zone in Laos as a node to control production, supply chain, and consumption.
The newly opened line goes to China in the north, Thailand in the east, Myanmar in the west, Malaysia and Singapore in the south. It is a great help for the CCP to realize its ambition to expand its influence in Southeast Asian countries.

^ Yes, I saw this. Good post. I didn't want to be an alarmist but it is unfortunately true. I speak to an accountant who deals with the current world wide hacking going on. Specifically Canada, USA, Mexico and Puerto Rico. This is a full time job for her. Since the chip hacking has dramatically increased. law enforcement says just going on line exposes you. Chase bank tells customers they think it is Amazon or WIFI. I have seen this worsen each of the last three years. Cash is king. Then at one retail location with bar code readers no hacking for eight years, verified. So older technology better?; just because it is obsolete?, I don't really know.

[Aljazeera] Russia faces "massive consequences" if it invades Ukraine, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has said at a meeting of top diplomats from the G7 group of leading industrialised nations.
There was a "very much a united voice from the G7 nations who represent 50 percent of global GDP, being very clear that there will be massive consequences for Russia in the case of an incursion into Ukraine", Truss said on Sunday at the meeting in the northern English city, Liverpool.

Biden speaks to Ukraine’s president amid Russia tensions
Ukraine is at the centre of a crisis in East-West relations as it accuses Russia of massing tens of thousands of troops in preparation for a possible large-scale military offensive.
US intelligence assesses that Russia could be planning a multi-front offensive on Ukraine as early as next year, involving up to 175,000 troops.
The Kremlin denies it plans to invade and says the West is gripped by Russophobia. Moscow says the expansion of NATO threatens Russia and has contravened assurances given to it as the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.

[legal Insurrection] Newly leaked emails from the U.S. government indicate that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was studying coronaviruses found in bats from Laos in the months before the pandemic.
This revelation indicates that a lab-leak origin for SARS-Cov-2 virus (the pathogen causing COVID-19) is a strong possibility.
In September, scientists discovered Banal-52, a coronavirus found in Lao bats, which shares 96.8 percent of its genome with Sars-Cov-2.
The striking similarity between the two coronaviruses led scientists to speculate that the Lao bat strain could have somehow given rise to Sars-Cov-2.
But there was one glaring problem: how could a virus originating in bats living in Laos spark an outbreak in Wuhan over 1000 miles away?
That puzzle might now have been solved, as leaked emails between EcoHealth Alliance and US government funders reveal viral samples from Lao bats were being collected and sent for study in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Back in September, Nature published news of the Laos bat virus discovery, pushing it as proof of its "natural origin". Yet, a few critical aspects were suggestive of lab manipulation.
