A black man is confronted by white soldiers during the red summer.
“The summer of 1919 was a period of horrifc racial violence and terror on a national scale. It occurred in the wake of more than 350,000 Black Americans returning from World War I, and working to exercise their rights to full citizenship. In 22 American cities and towns, whites instigated violence against both Black veterans and civilians. According to NAACP records, at least 25 major riots occurred, and more than 70 people were lynched, at least 10 of whom were Black veterans in uniform. Hundreds more people were killed, the majority of whom were Black, and thousands were injured. Tens of thousands more were forced to flee their homes or saw their homes destroyed, and millions had their lives disrupted, fnding it diffcult to go to work, or even to feel a modicum of safety.”
The B.C. RCMP has issued a lengthy statement taking exception to a controversial December 20 article in the Guardian.
Among other things, the Mounties have accused the U.K.-based media outlet of damaging relationships with its stakeholders—including hereditary chiefs—that have been years in the making.
This was in connection with heavily armed Mounties taking down an Indigenous blockade on January 7 in the traditional territory of the Wet'suwet'en people. The RCMP described the article as “inflammatory”.
Fourteen people were arrested at the time for violating a B.C. Supreme Court injunction obtained by a subsidiary of TC Energy. It’s building a pipeline to bring fracked natural gas to the LNG Canada plant near Kitimat.
Since New Year’s Day, @hindsightfiles
has been tweeting a steady stream of links to leaked Cambridge
Analytica documents revealing the company’s work on election
manipulation for candidates around the world, including Malaysia, Kenya
and Brazil – 100,000+ documents relating to 68 countries, which
@hindsightfiles has pledged to release in the coming months.
The documents – emails and working files – came from Brittany Kaiser, a
whistleblower who once worked at Cambridge Analytica and made notable
appearances in the documentary The Great Hack.
Kaiser says her documents reveal major Trump donors discussing plans to
launder and anonymize illegal political spending, and also how
Cambridge Analytica systemtized these techniques for dark money spending
elsewhere, including in the UK during the Brexit campaign.
Travis Frey is CURRENTLY employed as a captain at the Nevada Southern Detention Center (run by CoreCivic, contracted with ICE) . He has been an active member on the neo-nazi site “Iron March” since 2013 and was actively posted while working at another CoreCivic jail in Indianapolis that was also contracted with ICE.
The website no longer exists, however archives show that Frey posted under the screen name “In Hoc Signo Vinces,” as a reference to the title of the American Nazi Party manifesto. Frey also tried to join the Traditionalist Workers Party run by Matthew Heimbach in an attempt to start his own chapter in Indiana. He also participated in the Unite the Right rally and self-identifies as a fascist.
