Las Vegas police plead for information for passenger who filmed intentional hit-and-run murder of retired police chief Andreas Probst - as cops refuse to provide details about 17-year-old driver
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Andreas Probst, 64, was fatally mown down while cycling in Las Vegas August 14

  • The 17-year-old driver has been charged with murder but has not been named

  • Police are pleading for info on the passenger who filmed and encouraged the hit-and-run

  • The driver was arrested soon after the crash and taken to the Juvenile Detention Center — police say he was associated with the theft of several other vehicles that morning

* Provide sample persona rewrite to Social Media Clean Team,

-Great Cultural Revolution
Cal Berkeley Law EXPOSED: Class Credit to Aid the Revolution
[PJ] Over a decade ago, Hans von Spakovsky and I published the "Every Single One" series here at PJ Media. It took a federal lawsuit by PJ Media to obtain the resumes of all the new Eric Holder-hired lawyers in the Civil Rights Division. We documented the radical progressive backgrounds of every single one of Holder’s new lawyers in the so-called neutral "civil service."

The series exposed the "swamp" before the term swamp was fashionable. We had seen the problem up close when we both worked inside the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. Eventually, even the DOJ Inspector General urged the Obama administration to change course and hire a more ideologically diverse attorney pool.

Of course, the Obama administration ignored the suggestion because there was a fundamental transformation to complete. Now, we find ourselves in 2023, and the problem has only gotten worse.

A radicalized civil service is downstream from radicalized elite law schools. For the last six months, Hans and I have turned to what is happening in the nation’s top 10 law schools, asking, "Do They Teach Law Anymore?"

I covered the top-ranked law school—Yale, then Chicago, Harvard, and NYU. Hans covered number two, Stanford, and also Columbia, Penn, and UVA. (If you missed any of the madness catalog, click a link.)

Radicalization of law curricula is a serious and underexamined threat to the rule of law. The danger has moved beyond mere "liberal" professors from a decade ago. Law schools now teach classes designed to deconstruct the very foundations of our American system. From PJ Media:

Air travel while...."Instagram famous."
[COMPLEX] A video shows a woman who claims to be "Instagram famous" getting kicked off an American Airlines flight for seemingly arguing with other passengers, per TMZ.

A 20-second clip of the incident shows the woman in a bodysuit engaging in an argument with the airplane staff as she grabs her luggage.

"Call me a b-tch again," she say in the clip, as seen below. "I did nothing wrong."

Another passenger off-camera tells her to "shut up," prompting her to tell them to "You shut the f-ck up and your b-tch."

As she leaves the plane, she turns to notice someone filming her public outburst. "Film me, I'm Instagram famous, you f-cking bum."

It's unclear when the flight took place, and if her outburst caused any delays, but American Airlines' logo can be seen throughout the clip.

Africa Horn
With Pakistan’s help and money, Somalia launches ID system
What Pakistan is doing with its borrowed funds instead of using them to run the country.
[Dawn] The Federal Republic of Somalia has launched a national identification system with the support of Nadra, a milestone for the ’ID4Africa’ movement, which aims to provide all Africans with a digital identity by 2030.

Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre inaugurated Somalia’s national identity system during a conference held by NIRA Somalia in Mogadishu. The launch was attended by Somalia’s development partners — Pakistain, the EU, the World Bank Group, the UK, the US, Gulf countries, ID4Africa, diplomats and UN agencies, a blurb said on Sunday.

The premier of Somalia expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar and the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) for their support in launching the Somali National ID system. He thanked them for their assistance in capacity building for NIRA Somalia.

Other dignitaries at the event, including the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Somalia, Catriona Laing, and the British Ambassador to Somalia, Mike Nithavrianakis, praised Nadra’s robust systems and congratulated the governments of Pakistain and Somalia on this accomplishment.

The Somalia National ID System is part of a multimillion-dollar grant extended by Pakistain to Somalia. It will enable NIRA and Somalia’s ministry of interior to implement their mandate of enhancing the country’s governance, security, and socio-economic development by equipping citizens of Somalia with a secure and universally recognised form of identification.

Nadra Chairman Asad Rehman Gilani said: "Nadra takes immense pride in the successful execution and launch of Somalia’s National Identification System, a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation. This achievement reinforces Pakistain’s vision for a more secure and prosperous Somalia, where every citizen has access to reliable identification. The National ID System will not only bolster security but also pave the way for inclusive development, financial empowerment, and improved governance."

He said that the delivery of Somalia’s National ID complemented the government of Pakistain’s ’Look Africa’ policy, where Nadra had been playing a pivotal role in providing secure identity and passport solutions under the transfer of technology to various governments in Africa, including Kenya, Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
, and Nigeria, which held the largest ID database of over 100 million identities in Africa.

The Somalia National ID System is a state-of-the-art biometric identification system that will provide Somalis with a secure and universally recognised form of identification.

China-Japan-Koreas
Is That a Spy in Your Car?
[Free Press] You know what the Chinese government does really well? Spy.

Last year, a human rights group reported that the Chinese government had set up 100 secret "police stations"—seven of them in the U.S.—to spy on Chinese nationals. At the recently concluded G20 summit in New Delhi, the Chinese delegation refused to put some strangely shaped luggage through the hotel scanner. A hotel employee later reported that he saw "suspicious equipment" in one of the open suitcases. And just a few weeks ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that Chinese nationals, posing as tourists, have made some 100 attempts to gain access to U.S. military bases in recent years—including into a missile range in New Mexico. Chinese scuba divers have also been spotted swimming near a rocket launch site in Florida. Military investigators call them "gate-crashers."

There is a second kind of spying that relies on technology instead of people. Earlier this year, a Chinese surveillance balloon was sighted traveling across the United States. Huawei, the giant Chinese telecommunications company that has close ties to the military, has long been suspected of creating a "backdoor" in its routers and other equipment, allowing it to scoop up information from U.S. users that can be sent back to China. In 2020, the U.S. Justice Department charged Huawei with conspiracy to steal trade secrets. (Huawei has denied that its equipment has been used to spy on the West.) And of course there’s TikTok, which is owned by a Chinese company, and which many U.S. officials are convinced is used to collect data on Americans.

Now comes the latest threat—a technology, soon to be ubiquitous, called LIDAR.

LIDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging, and it’s essentially a system of complex sensors that can, for instance, serve as the "eyes" for a self-driving vehicle. Indeed, even cars that are only semiautonomous have a LIDAR system to guide them. That is the primary way LIDAR is used today, but it is hardly its only application. It’s also a mapping technology, an aid to the growing number of "smart cities," a tool for robotics, farming, meteorology, you name it.

As recently as 2018, most LIDAR systems sold in the U.S. were made by American companies. Today? The leading manufacturer is a company called Hesai. And though it has a Silicon Valley office, it is not a Silicon Valley company. It is a Chinese company that is now listed on the U.S. stock exchange.

Science & Technology
Scientists develop an instant test for Spice - the synthetic drug that turns users into 'zombies' within minutes
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] It's known as the synthetic street drug that turns users into 'zombies' within minutes – and can even lead to psychosis and death.

Now, scientists at the University of Bath have developed a pocket-sized device that can instantly detect the presence of 'Spice', also known as 'fake weed'.

The small hand-held machine lights up in the presence of the illegal substance if it's been soaked into paper or fabric – a common method for smuggling into prisons.

Experts think the device will be handed out to police officers and prison guards to check for Spice 'within months', once it's been cleared for rollout.

With further engineering, the scientists think it will also able to detect all types of synthetic drugs, which are chemically produced in a lab.

Scientists at the University of Bath have described their invention in a paper published in the journal Analytical Chemistry.

The machine detects Spice with 95 per cent accuracy, according to their results.

'Our device is truly ground-breaking,' Professor Christopher Pudney who led the research at the university's Department of Life Sciences.

'It's battery-operated, ultra-portable, low-cost and gives instant results that anyone can interpret.'

Spice – which was made illegal in the UK in 2016 – can be fatal and often causes severe side effects, including psychosis, stroke and seizures.

The common street drug particularly causes harm among homeless communities, but it's also routinely smuggled into prisons.

In many cases, Spice use has proved lethal – for users both in and out of jail.

The substance was involved in almost half of non-natural deaths between 2015 and 2020 in English and Welsh prisons, according to a recent report from Middlesex University.

Spice takes the form of the liquid and can be sprayed on plant material that's smoked – giving a similar experience to using real marijuana.

But when it is smuggled into prisons it tends to be in its pure liquid form, illicitly soaked into paper or fabric such as clothing.
