[The Federalist] Kim Kardashian West was allegedly robbed at gunpoint last night in her luxury apartment in Paris. The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star was reportedly approached by five men dressed as police officers who forced their way into her apartment, where she was bound and gagged in the bathroom. The thieves reportedly held a gun to her head while they stole more than $10 million dollars worth of jewelry.

Who carries around 10 million dollars in jewelry? Yes it is a scam. I hope they get busted and go to jail. Especially that jerk Kanye. What kind of name is Kanye?

From I've heard, he's massively in debt, so the potential for a scam is really really high. I also find the fact she has more than $10 million in jewelry insane and even more so she wanders around with it.
If it's not a scam, it's stupidity on a level that puts everything else stupid to shame, even base jumping.
Yeah, it's indirect from Infowars - you've been warned...
"I’m deeply saddened by a sense that whites are still superior in this country, in some sense, that if you sit at a restaurant, they’re served before a Kenyan is served. If you go through customs, a white person is going to have an easier time going through customs," Obama says in the film.

“How much of a black nationalist do you think Obama is? What do you think he thinks of white people?”
On a scale of one to ten, ten being 'extreme black nationalist' I'd rate him an eleven. My answer to the first question makes the second question somewhat irrelevant.
[DAWN] Saudi government workers will be paid according to the Gregorian calendar instead of the Islamic Hijri calendar, making the working month longer as part of cost-cutting measures, newspapers reported Monday.
The change, approved by cabinet last week, brings civil service pay in line with the government's January-December fiscal year, the Arab News and Saudi Gazette reported.
The reports said the latest austerity measure took effect on October 1.
Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , the world's biggest oil exporter, is cutting government spending and re-orienting its economy after a collapse over the past two years of the global oil price which provided most of its revenue.
The Hijri calender consists of 12 months of 29 or 30 days depending on the sighting of the moon, meaning the Islamic year is several days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, which is widely used in the world.

[RT] Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov has likened the threat from drug abusers on the roads to that of terrorists, telling ministers that security forces must not hesitate to use lethal force to ensure public safety. At a meeting with ministers and religious leaders Kadyrov said, "To hell with those who violate order in the Chechen Republic, they should be shot dead. It doesn’t matter if it's against the law… shoot them dead! Got it? ... that's the law!”
The chief Chechen apparently lost his temper after learning about the sharply-rising rate of traffic-related deaths caused by drug intoxication.
Last year Chechnya introduced strict laws that enabled police to strip intoxicated drivers not only of their driving licenses, but of their cars as well. However, that measure has failed to significantly change the situation. Chechen authorities also limited the sale of alcohol from 8am-10am. Following the restriction, the number of people using drugs in the form of pills instead of alcoholic beverages soared.
Recently, Kadyrov said that terrorism would be fully eradicated in the republic, and that the next step would be a war on drugs. He said, "We have neutralized thousands of bandits [terrorists] that came here from dozens of countries. A set of measures helped us change the situation with drugs. According to various sources, Chechnya is one of the most successful regions in this regard," adding that there is still no place for complacency.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants Canada to get more involved in peacekeeping missions in certain African nations. So how do students at Ryerson University feel about having an experienced military man — like, perhaps, Hitler's General Erwin Rommel — heading up the campaign?
When you're getting lectured on climate change by douchebag hypocrites like Leonardo DiCaprio, skepticism makes perfect sense.
(CNSNews.com) ‐ Nearly three-quarters of Americans don’t trust that there is a large "scientific consensus" amongst climate scientists on human behavior being the cause of climate change, according to an in-depth survey on "the politics of climate" released Tuesday by Pew Research Center.
According to the survey, only 27 percent of Americans agree that "almost all" climate scientists say that human behavior is mostly responsible for climate change, while 35 percent say that "more than half" of climate scientists agree on this. An additional 35 percent of those surveyed say that fewer than half (20%) or almost no (15%) climate scientists believe that human behavior is the main contributing factor in climate change.
Pew contrasted this to the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which "stated in the forward to its 2013 report, ’the science now shows with 95 percent certainty that human activity is the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century.’"
When you omit the primary heat source of the planet from your climate models, as the IPCC has done, conformist 'scientists' dependent on government grants will reach this conclusion.

Americans are smarter than I gave them credit for. Apparently the public school indoctrination programs aren't working as well as the overlords hoped.
Marine Corps leaders are finalizing several important changes that will redefine the size, composition and capability of its smallest combat units.
The effort, according to Lt. Gen. Robert Walsh, commanding general of Marine Corps Combat Development Command, aims to equip deployed Marines with the latest battlefield technologies and, ultimately, enhance their lethality. Soon, the service's small squads and landing teams will receive tailored intelligence, cyber, and surveillance capabilities, assets typically reserved for much larger battalions and regiments. It's a necessity, Walsh told Marine Corps Times, for the types of adversaries they are likely to encounter over the next decade.
The service's commandant, Gen. Robert Neller, is expected to approve the changes by the end of September. Its details will be included in a new Marine Corps Operating Concept, a document governing how troops and units are trained, equipped and employed for years to come.
For the next 18 months, Marine Corps leaders will evaluate the work of a test unit, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, which was reconfigured and re-equipped ahead of its scheduled deployment throughout the Asia-Pacific region as part of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. The battalion, which is home based in California, is testing several new tactics and technologies. The work got underway in late July as part of a two-week experiment on the West Coast.
From that, evaluators concluded that company-size landing teams should be reinforced with more command-and-control capability, more unmanned aerial systems and robots with improved sensors and lasers. There needs to be more specialists and support to process, exploit, and disseminate all of this information, Walsh said.
This will likely require Marines take on additional training and qualifications, a model special operations forces have validated in the past. Walsh also is leaning toward the Marine Expeditionary Force being a “reservoir of capabilities” in which many skill sets are maintained in communications and intelligence battalions, or in a MEF information warfare group. That way, commanders can organize around tasks and tailor a force against specific threats in specific regions.
They want to call this beefed up infantry company an "expeditionary landing team."
Officials are concerned as well about the geographical distance between these landing teams and their higher headquarters. In the past, it was believed that 120 miles was sustainable, but Walsh says he's not confident that's doable in a "nonlinear" operating environment, where Marines are engaged in a high tempo campaign across the spectrum of warfare: land, air, cyber and electronic.
“They are not going to be able to operate as far out as we initially thought,” said the general, who also serves at the Marines' deputy combat for combat development and integration. An extended expeditionary landing team operation “would require significant enablers and support from the battalion.”

Tailoring the fighting force to face the immediate threat, not the strategic one. For any significant event, the Battalion Landing Team (BLT) was designed to be the nucleus of the deployable force, with combined arms and sustainment capability for limited periods. To chop that up into 4-5 smaller forces, geographically disconnected, is nuts. It created a very unrealistic tail-to-tooth ratio which decreases the effective capability of the BLT sized units, which are further tailored to the deployment mechanisms of the MEF/Navy Task force. Somebody at the WH level is messing with the fundamentals of the USMC?
