US Court: Family Not Entitled To Compensation After Police Destroyed Home Pursuing Shoplifter

The US 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has determined that victims of the local police's destruction of their home are entitled to no compensation at all for their home's reckless destruction by police. An alleged shoplifter unrelated to the home's owners attempted to use the structure as shelter to evade police after he allegedly shoplifted two belts and a t-shirt from a Walmart. With their quarry cornered, the local police spent 19 hours assaulting the structure with repeated strikes from an armoured vehicle and expended more than 72 chemical weapons and smoke munitions ultimately leaving the structure a ruin.

The Court's decision is reproduced in full below: Continue reading

Only Anti-War US Presidential Candidate In Contested Primary Quits Congressional Race Despite Long Odds

US Presidential candidate and active national guard officer Tulsi Gabbard has ended her congressional re-election campaign in order to focus on the presidential race (archived). Despite consistently low polling to this point and her lonely position as the only anti-war candidate in this cycles contested US socialist party primary, recent attacks on Gabbard delivered by Hillary Clinton have finally brought attention from the US "mainstream" media to her campaign. The field at present is otherwise crowded with largely identical candidates.

Youth In US Increasingly Decide Life Not Worth Living

The US CDC reports that suicide among people in the US aged 10 to 24 has increased 56% in the period from 2007 to 2017. This coincides with an increase in bureaucratically driven in "anti-bullying" and "suicide awareness" efforts. The chance that the bureaucrats wringing hands will identify the suffocating lack of space their activity leaves as a driver of US youth unable to visualize futures for themselves appears to be nil. Expect the kids to keep checking out.

What Happened When Qntra Was Down (Again)

Outside the Republic:

  • Turkey began operations in Syria. Immediately Kurdish militias formerly allied with the USG made peace and entered into alliance with democratically elected Syrian President Assad. So called "moderate rebels" formerly allied with the US moved into alliance with Turkey. Due to poor implementation of the US withdrawal, on occasion US troops have found themselves squeezed between former allies aligned with Assad and former allies Allied with NATO member Turkey.
  • "Mainstream" US media and Joe Biden have entered into an agreement not to discuss the continued emergence of evidence coming out of Ukraine which appears ready to further collapse the remains of the US "Democratic" Party.
  • Preventative power outages were implemented in 34 California counties under the pretext of fire prevention after KKKalifornia government approved a measure for doing so this May.

Airstrip One Begins Judicial Bitcoin And "Crypto" Auctions

The asset recovery section of Airstrip One's "Eastern Region Special Operations Unit" claims to have recently auctioned a mixture of Bitcoin and lesser altcoins through a shop calling itself "Wilsons Auctions" (archived). They reported collecting 240,000 units of a currency they call the "Pound Sterling" despite the history of the land, once called England, largely consisting of exercises in debasing the "Pound Sterling" from the literal pound weight of silver the name implies. At present, the "Pound Sterling" has a value approximating the original silver penny in purchasing power.

German Cops Raid Cyberbunker Over Claims of Collaboration With Child Pornographers, etc

German police invaded a surplus Cold War bunker which had been converted to datacenter use over allegations that the operators were collaborating with child pornographers, darknet drug dealers, etc (archived). The German collaboration allegations are at the core of the case, because under German law without active collaboration the service providers are sheltered from liability connected to whatever their customers may or may not be doing. This datacenter operation had been harassed by pseudo-statal organizations including the MPAA and Spamhaus from its inception through its capture. The local police commanders managed to assemble 600 armed conscripts to capture their target.
