-Lurid Crime Tales-
Wis. Man, Named [You'll NEVER guess it!], Accused Of Assaulting Cop & Deputy
OLYMPIA, Wash. -- A man whose legal name has made headlines in recent years is accused of assaulting a college officer and a deputy, according to CBS affiliate KIRO.

Beezow Doo-doo Zopittybop-bop-bop was arrested on Sunday. Citing court documents, The Olympian reported that the Wisconsin man was seen tearing down fliers at the Evergreen State College and a confrontation ensued with a campus officer.

During the struggle, he allegedly grabbed the officer's gun, but then bit the officer's ring finger several times. He also attempted to stab the officer with a pen, according to the newspaper.

The newspaper also reported that after punches were thrown, Zopittybop-bop-bop allegedly fled on foot. A Thurston County deputy saw the suspect and chased him into a wooded area, where he allegedly threw rocks and a brick at the deputy. Afterwards, another deputy joined the pursuit and used a Taser on the suspect.

Zopittybop-bop-bop was then tackled, handcuffed and arrested, according to the court documents.

In court on Monday, a prosecutor reportedly deferred to the suspect's original name, Jeffrey Drew Wilschke, adding that he was unable to verify the name change.

Zopitty-bop-bop had reportedly legally changed his name in 2011.

The suspect's bail was set at $50,000 with an arraignment set for Feb. 16, according to The Olympian.

This is not the man's first brush with law enforcement. Zopittybop-Bop-Bop was first arrested in 2012 on a concealed weapon charge and drug charges in Wisconsin, with his name gaining national attention.

He was also arrested on drug charges a year later in Iowa.
Further research indicates Mr. Zopittybop-bop-bop's home turf is Madison, WI. Surprise!

Chicago’s Homicide Rate Has Exploded This Year
[DAILYCALLER] reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
’s homicide numbers this year are the worst they has been since the 1990’s.

Data recorded by the Chicago Police Department and The Chicago Tribune show that there have been at least 102 homicides this year, 95 of them murders. The incredible murder rate is the highest for this time of year in Chicago since 1997.

This time in 2015, there had only been 52 homicides, almost half the current total.

The Chicago Police Department told The Daily Caller News Foundation in early February that they were ramping up visibility in troubled parts of town, transferring more officers from foot patrol to vehicle patrol and shut down businesses that were fostering criminal activity.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
'Here's what I've learned so far dogfighting in the F-35': a JSF pilot's first-hand account
As we reported last year, the debate between F-35 supporters and critics became more harsh in July 2015, when War Is Boring got their hands on a brief according to which the JSF was outclassed by a two-seat F-16D Block 40 (one of the aircraft the US Air Force intends to replace with the Lightning II) in mock aerial combat.

Although we debunked some theories about the alleged capabilities of all the F-35 variants to match or considerably exceed the maneuvering performance of some of the most famous fourth-generation fighter, and explained that there is probably no way a JSF will ever match a Eurofighter Typhoon in aerial combat, we also highlighted that the simulated dogfight mentioned in the unclassified report obtained by WIB involved one of the very first test aircraft that lacked some cool and useful features.

Kampflybloggen (The Combat Aircraft Blog), the official blog of the Norwegian F-35 Program Office within the Norwegian Ministry of Defence, has just published an interesting article, that we repost here below under permission, written by Major Morten "Dolby" Hanche, one of the Royal Norwegian Air Force experienced pilots and the first to fly the F-35.

"Dolby" has more than 2200 hours in the F-16, he is a US Navy Test Pilot School graduate, and currently serves as an instructor and as the Assistant Weapons Officer with the 62nd Fighter Squadron at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.

He provides a first-hand account of what dogfighting in the F-35 looks like to a pilot who has a significant experience with the F-16. His conclusions are worth a read.

Enjoy.

#1  I'm confused. Is Dolby an American Air Force instructor or a pilot in the Norwegian Air Force?

Thank you for keeping the long story short, gorb.

#2  Both, it looks like. A gathering of the best of the best.

At a place with likely a good pool of highly qualified F-16 pilots, here is an exceptional pilot who also has a lot of time in the F-16. I would imagine a talent pool like that could get multi-move chess specific about testing and maneuvering.

Afghanistan
Afghan women accused of adultery face invasive virginity tests: AIHRC
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Independent Human Rights Commission of Afghanistan (AIHRC) has voiced concerns regarding the invasive virginity tests the Afghan women and girls are going through after they are accused of adultery.

In its latest report, AIHRC said the women are subjected to the invasive tests after accused of moral crimes by the judiciary institutions of the country.

The report further added that the victims are subjected to the tests without their consent which are usually accepted by the judiciary institutions, making it a basis for the trial of the accused.

AIHRC questioned the method of the tests, saying the tests are being conducted without considering the scientific basis of such tests, persistent corruption in government institutions, and technical insufficiency.

The rights organization also expressed concern
...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended...
s regarding the eloping of the women, saying the majority of the women are fleeing from the houses due to growing domestic violence with forced marriages remaining a top motive for the girls to abandon their families.

The girls are often accused of adultery while the men are accused of kidnapping and are tried by the judiciary institutions, AIHRC said, adding that the security institutions are introducing the girls to Forensic where they undergo virginity tests to confirm they were not involved in adultery.

The 17-page report by AIHRC has been prepared based on findings and interviews of 53 women serving in jails on adultery charges in 12 provinces, the rights organization said.

AIHRC also added that the prisoners interviewed by the rights organization were between 13 to 45 years of age with 45 of them incarcerated
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
over adultery charges, 8 others were accused of eloping and adultery, and 2 of them were accused of adultery and alcohol consumption.

The women are serving in jails in Badakhshan, Bamyan, Daikundi, Ghor, Herat

Africa Subsaharan
Ex-VP Of Zimbabwe Launches Opposition Party Against ZANU-PF
[SAHARAREPORTERS] Former Zim-bob-wean Vice President Joice Mujuru has launched a new opposition party to challenge President Bob Muggsy Mugabe
Octogenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case...
and the ruling ZANU-PF party.

Mujuru served as vice president for ten years and was seen as Mugabe’s likely successor before being ousted in December 2014. The vice president was accused of leading a "treacherous cabal" aiming to overthrow and kill Mugabe, allegations which Mujuru denies.

At her first presser since being deposed, Mujuru announced that she launched the Zim-bob-we People First party to revive the economy and improve relations with the West.

"We are not fighting one man but a system, that system which is unjust," Mujuru told her audience.

At least four former cabinet members who were also purged by Mugabe, including Didymus Mutasa and Rugare Gumbo, attended the launch of Mujuru’s party. According to her aides, Mujuru also has support from some senior members of the military.

Mujuru said that the formation of the Zim-bob-we People Party is heroic and will fight the "scourge of corruption" in Zim-bob-we.

But despite the support she enjoyed at the Zim-bob-we People Party’s launch, Mujuru and her new party will likely struggle to remove the powerful ZANU-PF, according to the BBC.

Supporters of the main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change, may still view Mujuru as loyal to Mugabe and ZANU-PF and will unlikely join her party.

Furthermore, according to BBC Africa analyst Lewis Machipisa, Zim-bob-wean law enforcement agencies may investigate Mujuru over the business she and her husband ran after independence in 1980. If it is discovered that Mujuru was corrupt, it will harm her party’s legitimacy.

Caribbean-Latin America
Venezuelan Opposition Leader Faces Investigation
[ALMANAR.LB] The Venezuelan government is investigating the opposition leader heading a campaign to hold a referendum on firing President Nicolas Maduro, officials said.

Henrique Capriles said Monday that the government was seeking Dire Revenge for his efforts to have Maduro terminated as president this year. His term ends in 2019.

"They know they've lost popular support, that they don't have the people on their side. That's why they have targeted me this way," the former governor and ex-presidential candidate told news hounds.

The Comptroller's Office will investigate budget management in Miranda state - where Capriles was governor - in 2011, 2012, and 2013, state officials said in a statement.

"Inspect whatever you like," a defiant Capriles said. "I have nothing to be afraid of."

Maduro narrowly defeated Capriles during a presidential election in 2013.

But the socialist "revolution" championed by Maduro and his predecessor Hugo Chavez is under the mounting pressure of a grinding economic crisis mainly fuelled by low oil prices.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Rebel says Ukrainians cleansing pro rebel families in Artemovsk


For a map, click here. You can enlarge the map, if you open it separately.

By Chris Covert
Rantburg.com

Ukrainian forces are removing whole families from Ukrainian held Artemovsk who are suspected of being pro rebel, according to official rebel sources.

According to a news report which appeared in Gorlovka-Pravda Tuesday, Donetsk ministry of defense spokesman Lt. Colonel Eduard Basurin said that the Ukrainian SBU police agency were removing families from their homes in nearby Novoluganskoe who were suspected of having ties to the Russian backed separatists.

According to the news report, families are being removed by force under the cover of darkness without warning.

Artemovsk is a critical command and supply node for the Ukrainian effort against rebels in southeastern Ukraine. The town formerly was used as a command and supply center for forces in Debaltsevo, about 15 kilometers south of Artemovsk. The town had fallen to the rebels in February of 2015. Artemovsk is known to be populated by several Russian speaking citizens of Ukraine.

During the spring of 2015, when a drunken armored personnel carrier driver killed two civilians, a riot ensued which resulted in several private vehicles being destroyed by fire.

Ceasefire Violations

According to a report which appeared in the Russian language, pro Ukrainian website censor.net.ua, Lugansk rebels ambushed a Ukrainian army column near the Ukrainian held town of Schastye on Monday using small arms fire and RPG fire. The report characterized the column as a mobile anti-smuggling task force force.

Schastye is located on the left bank, or north side of the Northern Donetsk River, and has been held by Ukrainian forces since the fall of 2014, when the Ukrainians were forced to withdraw from Lugansk city after occupying the Lugansk airport for several days. The town later became a fortified zone for Ukrainian forces.

Since the fall of 2014, rebel forces in the area had tried repeatedly to force a decision at Schastye by gaining bridgeheads on the river to the east and west of Schastye, as a means of blocking any reinforcements to the town in the event of attack, but to little avail.

Since that time until this week, rebel forces have contented themselves with the occasional potshots at Ukrainian forces at Schastye and along other points in northern Lugansk.

According to the report, three Ukrainian soldiers were wounded in the attack.

Donetsk Ceasefire Violations

According to another report in censor.net.ua, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the quasi non government organization monitoring the ceasefire, several violations of the ceasefire were recorded in and near Donetsk city between February 28th and February 29th.

Observers from the OSCE reported from the Donetsk central railway station in Donetsk hearing mortar and artillery fire in several directions, mostly towards the west. The report doesn't make clear whether the detonations were artillery landing or being fired, but it does say that mortar fire as heard well.

The report did not say which side fired the weapons, as both sides usually fire the same weapons at one another, so it is hard to tell.

In western Donetsk, both sides hold positions in adjacent towns in western Donetsk city, and both sides continually fire occasional shots at one another.

According to rebel sources, a total of 186 ceasefire violations in the form of gunfire by the Ukrainians were recorded during the night of February 29th to March 1st.

Even during the height of the war, which has been fought under a ceasefire of one kind or another, 170 ceasefire violations is considered to be a large amount of shooting.

According to reports in the Donetsk ministry of defense website, artillery fire was concentrated in Peski, Avdievka, Opytnoye, Zaistevo, Marinka, Spartak, the airport and at the western outskirts of Donetsk city.

According to the rebels, the Ukrainians fired 82mm and 120mm mortar fire, as well as guns from the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles and presumably the 23/2mm antiaircraft machine cannon, as well as small arms and RPG fire.

#1  Will this tactic work on the West Bank?
Posted by: Skidmark || 03/02/2016 2:54 Comments || Top||


Science & Technology
These are the Pentagon's 'kinetic fireball incendiaries' aimed at destroying WMD bunkers
... the fireballs function alongside a 2,000 pound BLU-109B bunker bomb, Flight Global reports. These bunker bombs are able to punch through six feet reinforced concrete. After punching into a bunker, the bomb would then release its internal kinetic incendiaries.

Once inside a bunker or structure, the rocket balls get to work. Essentially, the balls are hollowed out spheres comprised of rubberized rocket fuel that have a hole on the outside. As Technovelgy notes, this hole causes the balls, once ignited, to expel hot air in excess of 1,000 degrees Farenheit .

#7  Sw., just remember the World Trade Towers. The insulation was faulty and when the heat got to the structural steel it failed and the towers collapsed.

Nguard, was there something about the article that was badly stated?

#8  As I recollect, the neutron bomb was a nuclear device that was optimized to minimize the blast while maximizing neutron production. Even a small nuclear blast wouldn't do any nearby structures any good. I think that an air burst over a city would kill the people (neutrons go through 17 feet of lead) but if the burst was high enough would spare the buildings. Still, I wonder what all those neutrons would do to the structural steel. ;-)

Home Front: Culture Wars
Rutgers University President Defends Free Speech Following Milo Yiannopoulos Visit
[BREITBART] Although the statement doesn’t mention him directly, it was made shortly after the widely-covered visit of Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos to Rutgers. The event faced disruption from the regressive left on campus, who interrupted Yiannopoulos’ speech by smearing red paint on their faces (as well as the floor, the walls, and other attendees) and chanting "Black Lives Matter."

The President’s statement is another sign that relations between the academic establishment and left-wing bandidos hard boyz on campus are beginning to cool. Marvin Krislov, President of Oberlin College, normally seen as a bastion of the regressive left, recently rejected a list of demands from student activists, calling the list "deeply troubling" and promising to address problems by ensuring that "dissenting voices" continue to be heard.

Elsewhere, Melissa Click, the left-wing assistant professor who called for "some muscle" to physically intimidate a student news hound during protests at the University of Missouri last year, was recently fired by the college, for "interfering with the rights of others" during the demonstration.
Rejection is the critical first step. It'll be over when universities have these little Blackshirt creeps arrested at the scene, convicted, jailed, and made to pay the cost of repairs and extra policing their outburst cost the university, plus the usual pain and suffering surcharge for each legitimate member of the audience.
