[Zero Hedge] As if we needed another reason to fear air travel, authorities in North Carolina say an air traffic controller at an airport in the state has been arrested on charges of possessing a weapon of mass destruction.
Local media outlets report that the FBI says 30-year-old Paul George Dandan was arrested Friday in Charlotte. The FBI is assisting Charlotte-Mecklenberg Police with the investigation but, somehow, federal charges aren’t expected against Dandan at this point.
CNN reported that police received a 911 call last week that someone had a homemade explosive at a Charlotte home. When officers arrived, they found a homemade pipe bomb, authorities said. Though authorities didn’t confirm if this was the weapon. A WMD is legally defined as any explosive charge larger than four ounces, and in many cases aren’t all that deadly.
[Hot Air] Fines could range from $90 to $500. (That would depend on how many characters in the text‐just kidding.) Who would officers ticket first ‐ texters or talkers? Aren’t there lawsuits waiting somewhere in there for profiling and enforcement bias? And how well will Chicagoans hide their cell earbuds?
"We have a public safety concern," said Ricardo Munoz, another council supporter, "of people being immersed on their phones walking, especially downtown with all these bike lanes and the traffic, that people should be paying attention."
As with many such feel-good rules and regulations, however, there is absolutely no data to support any link between the problem and the proposed solution ‐ pedestrian deaths and distracted walking. It does sound good, though. Why let lack of actual evidence spoil a silly idea that can get a City Hall pol on local TV?
So far in 2017, 27 pedestrians have died on Chicago streets, a whopping annual increase of one.
This statistic has likely changed in the last few minutes. But at last report, so far this year Chicago has experienced 569 homicides. That’s down slightly from 2016’s full-year murder total of 762.
So, perhaps officers will indeed have extra time to patrol each city crosswalk, four for every single intersection in Chicago’s 234 square miles.
[Breitbart] TV networks have been giving wall-to-wall coverage to allegations of sexual impropriety by Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, eclipsing the coverage they have given to allegations of corruption leveled at Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ).
According to Newsbusters, ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News have not mentioned Menendez’s trial for allegedly taking bribes in exchange for political favors once during the whole of the Democrat’s 65-day trial.
But the coverage of Republican Roy Moore has been markedly different.
The Washington Post reported Thursday on allegations that Moore pursued teenagers when he was in his mid-30s in the 1970s and 1980s ‐ including a claim that he initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old. Moore has denied allegations of sexual impropriety.
"In the past 24 hours, the same networks that couldn’t find a single second to mention Menendez in 65 days, spent 24 minutes and 36 seconds on serious allegations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore," the watchdog reported.
During an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show on Friday, Judy Haim addressed a recent National Enquirer report in which former actor Dominick Brascia, who was close with Haim, alleged that a 19-year-old Charlie Sheen sexually assaulted a 13-year-old Haim on set of the 1986 film Lucas.
Richard Dreyfuss accused of dropping trou
A writer who worked for Richard Dreyfuss on a TV comedy special in the 1980s said he sexually harassed her for years and exposed himself to her in a studio lot trailer.
Victim No. 15 speaks out about Kevin Spacey
The latest man to accuse Kevin Spacey of sexual harassment has spoken out about the 'shocking and scary' moment that the actor allegedly forced himself on him in a 'wordless' attack.
Spacey was 22 actor in the Summer of 1981, when he reportedly strode into Andy Holtzman's office and sat down at an empty desk.

The media "elite" is killing stories that would hurt them, Obambi, and their favorite congress critters. They are starting to devour themselves though.
[BALTIMORESUN] Calling violence in Baltimore "out of control," Mayor Catherine Pugh ordered 30 agency heads to meet every morning at police headquarters, and to make crime reduction the top mission not only of police, but also of health workers, housing officials and public works crews.
The mayor ordered the directors of more than half of the city’s 55 departments to report to meetings daily at 8 a.m., when they will plan with Police Commissioner Kevin Davis where weeds should be cut, lead paint covered and drug houses boarded up and job applications can be handed out, among other tasks.
Pugh appeared at City Hall Thursday flanked by agency heads.
"Violence in the city is out of control," she said. "I want every neighborhood to know I am extremely concerned and focused on reducing violence."
Killings in the city have surged past 300 this year for a third year in a row. Violent crime is up 13 percent over last year, and reports of groups of youths attacking people apparently at random have dominated recent local news cycles.
Pugh said she was calling on businesses and philanthropies to help fund a $10 million expansion of the anti-violence Safe Streets program. And she extended night and weekend hours at six recreation centers to try to keep young people out of harm’s way.
"We must do everything we can," Pugh said. "We’ve already hit 303 murders, which is totally unacceptable. ... We know we can do better."

Ouch - I hate it when they demand your presence at 8:00 am, and all of what you planned for the day is now in abeyance. It's an irrational demand that is made by someone who believes they're unaccountable for anything, and it disrupts the whole landscape of your day.

Before hiring Sun Tzu, the King of Wu tested Sun Tzu's skills by commanding him to train a harem of 180 concubines into soldiers. Sun Tzu divided them into two companies, appointing the two concubines most favored by the king as the company commanders. When Sun Tzu first ordered the concubines to face right, they giggled. In response, Sun Tzu said that the general, in this case himself, was responsible for ensuring that soldiers understood the commands given to them. Then, he reiterated the command, and again the concubines giggled. Sun Tzu then ordered the execution of the king's two favored concubines, to the king's protests. He explained that if the general's soldiers understood their commands but did not obey, it was the fault of the officers. Sun Tzu also said that, once a general was appointed, it was his duty to carry out his mission, even if the king protested. After both concubines were killed, new officers were chosen to replace them. Afterwards, both companies, now well aware of the costs of further frivolity, performed their maneuvers flawlessly.

Responds to calls for service and report writing aside, I bet Baltimore cops never get out of the car while on patrol. Why risk your pension to actually do anything proactive. No stop and frisk, no knock and talk, just rolling up to a crime scene or complaint and writing it all down. Clerks with guns for protection riding around is what you got idiots.

why not have the meetings start at 8am each day and last until 8pm. That would keep the police busy, appease them by giving them lots of overtime, and lower the daytime crime rate, since that rate depends on the number of crimes recorded by police during the day. it would go down to 0. OK the night rate would go up, but that's ok. it would lead to even more overtime.

[Daily Caller] Russia is considering designating CNN, Voice of America and Radio Liberty as foreign agents, now that the U.S. has forced state-run RT to register as a foreign agent.
Russian officials said Friday that they’re thinking of making private and government-run American media entities register as foreign agents, which is exactly what Russia warned it would do if American authorities moved to censure RT, The New York Times reports. Such a move could prevent CNN and other U.S. state-owned media entities from operating or distributing content in certain areas.
RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan signaled her intent to comply Thursday, saying that the state-run company would for now give in to U.S. demands to avoid bank account freezes and disclosures of personal employee information. Simonyan believes the application of the Foreign Agents Registration Act to RT America is discriminatory. The deadline to register is Monday.

[DAWN] Russian President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... on Saturday promised that the Kremlin will retaliate for what he called attacks on Russian media in the United States (US).
Putin's comments at a news conference Saturday in Vietnam follow complaints by the Kremlin-funded RT satellite TV channel that the US Justice Department has ordered it to register as a foreign agent by Monday.
Putin said "attacking our media in the United States is an attack on freedom of speech, without any doubt," and promised to retaliate.
RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said the station would register, since otherwise its American director could be tossed in the clink Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! and its accounts frozen.
She said "we categorically disagree with this requirement" and vowed to sue, adding, "this requirement is discriminatory, it contradicts both the principles of democracy and freedom of speech."

[TheAviationist] The E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System is a joint U.S. Air Force ‐ Army program.
The JSTARS is an airborne battle management, command and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platform. It uses a multi-mode side looking radar to detect, track, and classify moving ground vehicles deep behind enemy lines. Its primary mission is to provide theater ground and air commanders with ground surveillance to support attack operations and targeting: through an antenna that can be tilted to either side of the aircraft to develop a 120-degree field of view, the JSTARS can cover nearly 19,305 square miles (50,000 square kilometers) and detect targets from a distance of 250 kilometers. Although the E-8C’s role is to build and update the picture of the battlefield, focusing on ground and moving targets, the the radar has also limited AEW-like capabilities: it can also detect helicopters, rotating antennas and low, slow-moving fixed wing aircraft even though these are partially hidden in the ground clutter. Surveillance data can be relayed in near-real time to the Army and Marine Corps common ground stations and to other ground command, control, communications, computers and intelligence, or C4I, nodes.
In other words, the E-8C, currently operated by the U.S. Air Force through the 116th ACW, is a key asset, that has not been exported outside the US. However, South Korea officially requested the JSTARS system during a Security Consultative Meeting with the United States late last month, The Dong-A Ilbo, a South Korean newspaper, reported on Nov. 3.
"South Korean defense officials, including Defense Minister Song Young-moo, cited the JSTARS as a top priority system with which to cope with North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats. [...] Washington responded by expressing it will to positively consider the request. In a joint statement after the security meeting, the two allies agreed to strengthen cooperation in the South Korean military’s acquisition of state-of-the-art U.S. weapons systems.
The JSTARS, which played key roles in the Gulf War and Iraq War, was deployed to South Korea in November 2010 for the first time to closely monitor the North Korean military’s movement immediately after the North’s artillery attack on South Korea’s frontline island of Yeonpyeong Island. It was also deployed to South Korea during last month’s joint naval exercise on the South Korean waters, along with a U.S. nuclear powered aircraft carrier battle group."
Actually, a U.S. E-8C has been operating over South Korea, not far from the DMZ, for a few weeks. In fact, even though the presence of the JSTARS not far from North Korea is not a surprise, since the aircraft is probably constantly updating the position and monitoring the movement of the North Korean forces along the border and across the peninsula, it’s at least worth of note that an aircraft has frequently showed up on flight tracking websites since Oct. 21, more or less when Seoul voiced its interest in the asset.
Once again, the aircraft could be tracked online because of its Mode-S transponder.
As said, the presence of an E-8 (99-0006) in the skies over South Korea is pretty normal. We don’t know whether the aircraft had South Korean observers on board or was involved in a sort-of demo but what’s really unusual is the fact that such a "strategic surveillance aircraft" could be tracked online. However, as we have already reported several times, many millitary aircraft, including spyplanes and drones remain visible on flight tracking websites regardless to whether they are involved in an operative mission or a ferry flight and years after we started highlighting the risk of breaking OPSEC with an inaccurate use of ADS-B transponders. So much so this author tends to believe those aircraft purposely broadcast their positions for everyone to see, to let everyone know it was there. A new way to wage Psychological Warfare and deter Pyongyang. 당신은 지금 들을 수 나?
(Roughly)
[DailyStar.uk] Russian’s leader was reportedly informed by Kim Jong-un’s regime that the rogue nation was preparing to a nuclear attack on the US.
Putin then passed this information on to Washington, triggering Donald Trump to take a softer touch on North Korea ‐ it is claimed.
Kremlin officials have said they are "unaware" of such a letter, reports Russian media.
North Korea had previously sent letters to their neighbours urging them to side with them in a war against the US.
The revelations come as Putin meet with the US President today in Vietnam amid continuing fears of war on the Korean Peninsula.
Russia's Chairwoman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko revealed last month she had received a letter from North Korea directly addressed to Putin.
It is claimed by sources that this letter contained a direct warning of an imminent nuclear attack on the US.
Tensions have been raging as the rogue state refuses to give up its quest of nuclear-capable ICBMs.
Trump has eased on his war-talk from earlier this year when he said the US could "totally destroy" North Korea and promised "fire and fury".
His tour of Asia, which has been dominated by the threat from Kim, saw him act significantly more statesman-like than ever before.
The US President urged North Korea to come to table, and "hoped to God" there would be no conflict in speech just 35-miles from the rogue state in Seoul.
However, he did warn: "This a very different administration than the United States has had in the past. Do not underestimate us. And do not try us."
It is unclear if this apparent change in policy is linked to this alleged letter sent to the Russians.
“Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to preemptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest,” the North’s foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.
North Korea's rhetoric and threats aren't new. What's new is the US administration's response.
Trump's new message simply is that the US will nuke North Korea if North Korea attacks the US with nukes.
The fact that the administration believes that this needs to be stated explicitly shows that there has been a dangerous erosion of US & Western deterrence during the past years.
[News and Observer] Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The biennial Dubai Air Show opened Sunday with hometown long-haul carrier Emirates making a $15.1 billion buy of American-made Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners, as the world's biggest defense companies promoted their weapons amid heightened tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Other airlines also are taking part, but missing from the trade show this year is one of the region's largest long-haul carriers, Qatar Airways, amid diplomatic fallout between Qatar and four Arab nations.
The Boeing announcement came after over an hour and a half of delays by Emirates amid rumors of a possible Airbus sale involving its A380 aircraft, a major workhorse for the airline. Journalists asked Emirates CEO and Chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum about Boeing's European competitor Airbus, specifically its A350.
"We were comparing the two apples," he said, but found that the Boeing 787 is "the best option" for Emirates "given its maintenance and so on."

[Vlad Tepes] A young man allegedly sexually assaulted a pony of the "Children’s Farm" in Görlitzer Park.
An employee of the institution confirms this to Berliner Morgenpost. The incident occurred on Friday of last week around 3 PM. Amanda F. (name changed by our editorial staff) described the incident to Berliner Morgenpost. "My babysitter took a walk with our son through Görlitzer Park. They had to witness the man sexually assaulting the pony." Her babysitter told her about the incident, and also spoke to the so-called "park runners". She did not want to comment on the incident. The scene was too traumatic.
The employee of the children’s farm tells Berliner Morgenpost that the babysitter quick-witted took a photo of the man as he was committing the deed, and immediately contacted employees of the children’s farm. They consulted the "park-runners" who are there to ensure safety in the Görlitzer Park*. The employee called the police. The young man realized that his deed did not go unnoticed, backed off of the animal, and disappeared in the park for the moment.
The man received a house ban and a police complaint
Translator’s note:
* “park runners”: after giving up all attempts to get the drug dealing in Görlitzer Park under control, the city of Berlin now employs Turkish and Arab street workers, who patrol the Görlitzer Park, to engage in dialogue on an equal footing with the 180-200 drug dealers (largely refugees from African countries) and encourage a friendlier atmosphere (Tagesspiegel: Auf Augenhöhe mit den Drogendealern).
Angela Merkel deserves to spend eternity in the lowest depths of Hell, the circle for traitors.
[Al Jazeera] Thousands of nationalists and fascist ...anybody not a leftist... s gathered in Warsaw on Saturday to attend an annual "Independence March" under the banner: "We Want God".
The rally, which began at 3pm (14:00 GMT) local time, coincides with Poland's independence day on November 11.
According to the organisers, the event is the biggest "patriotic" gathering of its kind in Europe.
"We expect something like 100,000 people to attend this year," said Al Jazeera's David Chater, reporting from Warsaw.
Organisers later claimed the number had exceeded that estimate.
Some of the chants early on in the day included: "Great national Poland, religion is the basis of the Polish nation, Great Catholic Poland and one nation across the borders".
Later chants directed expletives at refugees, leftists, liberal media outlers, and the US.
A countermarch organised by Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... Warsaw drew around 5,000 participants, according to lidia Domanska, one of those involved.
Update from Ynet at 10:30 a.m. has a smaller crowd count:
Tens of thousands of nationalists marched in a demonstration organized by far-right groups in Warsaw Saturday, as Poles celebrated their country's Independence Day.
The far-right march was one of many events marking Poland's rebirth as a nation in 1918 after being wiped off the map for 123 years. Earlier in the day, President Andrzej Duda presided over state ceremonies also attended by European Union president Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister.
But the march has become the largest Independence Day event in recent years, overshadowing official state observances and other patriotic events. Some participants expressed sympathy for xenophobic or white supremacist ideas, with one banner reading, "White Europe of brotherly nations."
Participants marched under the slogan "We Want God," words from an old Polish religious song that President Donald Trump quoted during a visit to Warsaw earlier this year. Speakers spoke of standing against liberals and defending Christian values.

[AnNahar] More than 20 EU states are set to sign up for a landmark joint defense pact on Monday as Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... seeks closer military ties in the wake of Brexit and as Russia flexes its muscles to the east.
The permanent structured cooperation on defense -- or PESCO -- aims to deepen defence cooperation between European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... members and improve coordination in the development of new military technology.
The agreement is part of efforts led by Germany and La Belle France to push closer defence ties as a way of rebooting the bloc after Britannia's shock vote to leave and follows the announcement in June of a European Defence Fund that will receive 5.5 billion euros annually.
The notice of intent to be inked in Brussels on Monday, seen by AFP, includes a pledge to "regularly increasing defense budgets in real terms" as well as commitments to devote 20 percent of defense spending on procurement and two percent on research and technology.

Goodness. Didn't President Trump demand something like this from the other NATO members? How odd.
"We've never come close to this before," an EU official said. "We have more than 20 member states signing up to structured cooperation. Not just signing paper -- undertaking commitments in terms of spending on defense and joint projects."
Past performance being no predictor of future results?
Since the failure of the European Defense Community more than 60 years ago there have been numerous attempts to achieve closer military union, but they have foundered as member states have proven reluctant to hand over responsibility for military matters.
PESCO includes a pledge that countries will provide "substantial support... with personnel, materiel, training, exercise support, infrastructure" for EU military missions, the document said.
Countries not signing up on Monday will be able to join PESCO later, and the deal also includes provisions for non-EU members, which would include Britannia, to take part in specific projects.
The PESCO drive however has revealed strains between Gay Paree and Berlin, with the French pushing for a smaller group of nations committed to ambitious projects and Germany wanting a more inclusive arrangement with as many of the bloc's 27 members -- minus Britannia -- as possible.
Britannia -- a nuclear power with permanent veto power at the U.N. Security Council -- has long been fiercely opposed to anything that might lead to the creation of an "EU army" commanded by Brussels.
Its impending departure from the bloc has given fresh impetus to closer EU defense cooperation and in March ministers approved plans to create an embryonic military headquarters to coordinate EU overseas operations.
Once signed by defense ministers, the agreement will be officially launched on the eve of the next EU summit in December.

We've heard this song before. It hasn't gotten better with age. They would have to substantially - by which I mean 20-25% increases in R&D and procurement - increase the budgets just to get to the point where they can even TALK to US and UK forces, much less do anything in conjunction with them.

In the weeks before Donald J. Trump took office, lawyers joining his administration gathered at a law firm near the Capitol, where Donald F. McGahn II, the soon-to-be White House counsel, filled a white board with a secret battle plan to fill the federal appeals courts with young and deeply conservative judges.
Mr. McGahn, instructed by Mr. Trump to maximize the opportunity to reshape the judiciary, mapped out potential nominees and a strategy, according to two people familiar with the effort: Start by filling vacancies on appeals courts with multiple openings and where Democratic senators up for re-election next year in states won by Mr. Trump ‐ like Indiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania ‐ could be pressured not to block his nominees. And to speed them through confirmation, avoid clogging the Senate with too many nominees for the district courts, where legal philosophy is less crucial.
[DAWN] Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) MNA Dawar Khan Kundi has accused PTI leader and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Minister Ali Amin Gandapur of facilitating eight people accused of involvement in the alleged stripping and parading naked of a teenage girl in Dera Ismail Khan ... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ... earlier this month.
Kundi, elected to the NA-25 constituency (DI Khan, Tank), wrote a letter to PTI Chairman Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems... dated Nov 8 requesting him to ensure Gandapur's removal from his ministerial position, and urge him to withdraw his support from the suspects and ask the girl's family for forgiveness.
Gandapur, who Kundi describes as "a source of embarrassment for the party", allegedly provided "support for the criminals in the case in which an orphan girl was paraded naked by eight gunnies" in DI Khan.
"I visited the family a week before and they asked, in fact, requested me to make sure that Ali Amin Gandapur, revenue minister KP, may be forced and asked to withdraw his support for the criminals," Kundi said in his letter.
"After privately investigating the case, the reservations of the concerned family were true. Ali Amin provided logistic and physical support to the criminals in violation of the moral norms of society," he alleged.
"The notorious activities of Ali Amin Gandapur are a source of providing a bad name to the party as a whole," Kundi claimed.
He reminded the PTI chief that "since the inception of the provincial government of KP, we had high hopes of implementing the manifesto of PTI in KP and vowed to make an example for the other provinces of our homeland."
However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... Gandapur's conduct has "lowered our heads in shame", he said. It is the time that PTI stands for the orphan girl and provide justice as soon as possible, he concluded.
Imran Khan has not responded to the accusations against Gandapur as yet.
