Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington has become the site of a reactionary, racialist campaign against biology professor Bret Weinstein, after he spoke out against a college-sponsored event that called for all white students and faculty to leave the school grounds for a day.
[ ... ]
There is nothing “left” or progressive in the actions of the students protesting Weinstein. Their racialist outlook expresses the interests of privileged sections of the upper middle class, and complements the racism of the far-right. Their claim that the campus is seething with racial tensions is not supported by any concrete evidence. There have been no reports of openly racist events or groups on campus.

Yaabut, on the other side of the coin, racial tensions appear to run rampant. Jack LaLanne would've said that anything you say or write about such a strange place is really unhealthy.

These people at Evergreen have gone full-blown crazy. Raze the campus and start over. The only good thing is that factions of the left are eating their own--the end result of universities embracing phony diversity programs.
[All Africa] MDC-T President Morgan Tsvangirai on Friday fled his party's Harvest House head offices after a contingent of armed police and the deputy sheriff from the messenger of court raided the building.
The deputy sheriff who emptied over five offices at the Harvest House taking all the furniture for auctioning , was acting under the instruction of the courts which ruled in favour of 117 former and current MDC-T employees, whom the party owes their dues.
Mid-morning Friday, MDC-T leadership which includes Tsvangirai and his deputy Nelson Chamisa, abandoned the meeting they were presiding over and fled the building as a result of the fracas.
Sesil Zvidzai, the party's Presidential affairs secretary, told news hounds that they had to adjourn a national standing committee meeting which the movement was conducting.
"The national standing committee wanted to deliberate on election preparedness and we suddenly saw a whole army, of armed police coming through for the purposes that we do not understand.
"We also saw the furniture being taken out by the deputy sheriff .We see this a harassment as we go to the elections which we are going to beat Zanu PF and they want the whole country to believe that we are not organized," said Zvidzai as he also shifted the blame to their political rival Zanu PF .
"We had started the meeting and we were then disturbed, but the meeting is carrying on .This is our headquarters, this is our home, this is where all plans for transformation take place, so the President is always here to work for the people of Zim-bob-we, but unfortunately there are detractors who do not want to see a progressive Zim-bob-we," he said.

[AA.TR] Protesters on Friday blocked streets in Caracas and other Venezuelan cities in more marches against a controversial vote Sunday that could forma an assembly to rewrite the Constitution.
Opposition parties occupied the streets despite a protest ban by the government that extends through Tuesday. Violators could receive prison sentences of five to 10 years, according to the government.
Venezuelans rushed to stores and banks early Friday after most businesses were closed during a two-day national strike called by the opposition that began Wednesday.
Violent festivities with the government have killed 113 since April, according to the Venezuelan Attorney General’s Office, as the country faces economic and political crises with falling crude oil prices that funds most of the government’s socialist agenda. The crisis has forced thousands of citizens to flee during in recent months.
Several countries and global organizations, including the U.S. and EU, have condemned the vote for Sunday.
The United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... asked the government of President Nicolas Maduro to allow citizens to protest peacefully.

Who is getting killed in Venezuela? Contrast that with Chicago. No comparison. Some of the Chavistas interviewed expressed that they would like the U.S. to intervene (Just what we need, another entanglement, eh?
[DAWN] A judicial magistrate in Lahore on Saturday sentenced the primary suspect in Khadija Siddiqui stabbing case to seven years in prison.
Magistrate Mubashir Awan at Cantonment Courts announced the verdict after finding suspect Shah Husain guilty of attempted murder. The court ordered police to immediately arrest Husain.
Khadija, a law student, was attacked by her class fellow, Shah Husain, on May 3, 2016, near Shimla Hill where she along with her driver had gone to pick her younger sister from school.
Both sisters were about to get into their car when the helmet-wearing suspect attacked Khadija with a knife and stabbed her 23 times leaving her critically injured.
Civil Lines police had started the paperwork but haven't done much else against Husain on charges of attempted murder. Police had also recovered the cycle of violence and knife he used in the attack.
The convict happens to be son of a lawyer, Tanvir Hashmi.
Talking to news hounds after the verdict was announced, Khadija thanked TV anchors and lawyers for supporting her throughout the case proceedings.
Khadija's fight for justice
Khadija, who attends a private law college, has been fighting a legal battle to seek justice in her case for over a year.
After a sessions court granted Husain bail after he had spent two months behind the bars, Khadija's had suspected that the attacker was released because he belonged to an influential family.
"The judges get scared, the lawyers have so much influence the judges are forced to give an incorrect verdict," she had said on Geo TV's 'Aaj Shahzaib Khanzada Kay Saath'.
In May this year, Khadija sat an examination under the police protection as Husain also was in the same centre.
"Sitting the examination in such circumstances was nothing short of an ordeal and I kept praying and trying to remember the course material," she said at the time.
Lahore High Court Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah had on May 23 taken an administrative notice of the delay in the trial and directed the court to conclude it within 30 days by holding a day-to-day hearing.
Magistrate Awan seized with the trial took over two months to wind up the proceedings.
During the trial proceedings, the prosecution presented 11 witnesses to establish the accused guilty of having attempted murder. The defence had requested the court to delete the offence of attempted murder from the FIR, however, its plea was turned down by the judge.

Needs a Constitutional Amendment. A state applies and 3/4 of the other states concurring, then its permitted. And...the opportunity of expulsion of a state, with 3/4 of the other states concurring.

Without USA defending their interests - how long will they last?
Exactly. It wouldn't be long before an independent Calipr0nia was absorbed by Mexico and the Silicon Valley barons will be begging Trump to let them back into the USA. You people really want that? You want Mexico to be in possession of all those military bases along with San Diego Bay, San Pedro and Oakland/Alameda? I don't think so.
When it comes to blows don't shoot me. I'll be the old guy in a Hawaiian shirt waving a white flag. Give me a gun and I'll help you shoot them down.

The state’s attorney general, Xavier Becerra, issued an official ballot measure title on Tuesday allowing CalExit supporters to start gathering the 585,000 signatures needed to place the matter before California voters in 2018, the Associated Press reported.
You see that AG's name? Uh huh. Where do you think this bullshit is coming from? Mexico City, that's where. Trump needs to put the kibosh on it tout suite.

I would be interested in the dollar analysis:
How much does America get for the federal land, post offices...
How much does America save on social security, welfare, Medicare, Medicaid...
How much do we charge for travel to the states and tariffs on movies, energy, water...
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
