[Conservative Daily Post] There is plenty of evidence that Muslims from third-world countries can’t function in Western society. Even if all the terror activities are not considered, the lack of hygiene and oppressive society just isn’t compatible with civilization. In the latest example of Islamic depravity, at least 15 teens in Morocco, and most likely more, are being treated for rabies after gang raping an infected donkey.
Islamic culture is totally foreign to the basic morals and activities of educated nations. Their entire perception of right and wrong is horrifically alien to anyone raised in a developed country. Muslim terrorists brutally slaughter hundreds of people each year who they think are "infidels," and their barbaric fundamental beliefs are completely opposite to every normal behavior in a civilized society.
Local authorities are desperately pleading with anyone who "admired" the animal to report to a health facility for rabies treatment. It is thought that the numbers are higher than the original 15 because many parents took their sons outside the immediate area to avoid ridicule.
[ICE] EL PASO, Texas -- The driver of a tractor-trailer carrying 23 illegal aliens, and a passenger, were arrested on criminal charges Wednesday on eastbound Interstate Highway 10 near the city limits by special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
The HSI special agents are assigned to the El Paso Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST), which includes U.S. Border Patrol agents.
BEST agents found 18 adult males and two unaccompanied juvenile males in the trailer, and two adult women and an adult male in the sleeper cabin. Three of the illegal aliens were from Guatemala, and 20 were from Mexico. The illegal aliens are in federal custody pending disposition of their immigration cases.
Agents also found 116 kilograms (about 256 pounds) of marijuana in the sleeper cabin.
The driver, Comothial Harper, 44, a U.S. citizen from Bainbridge, Georgia, was arrested and charged with transporting illegal aliens for financial gain. Gerardo Aguilar-Roque, 35, one of the passengers, was arrested and charged with possession with the intent to distribute marijuana.
According to court documents, BEST agents found the men and juveniles hiding behind commercial boxes inside the back of the trailer. Everyone appeared to be in good health, even though there was no ventilation inside the trailer.
[Guardian] The head of an animal conservation NGO who had received numerous death threats has been shot and killed by an unknown gunman in Tanzania.
Wayne Lotter, 51, was shot on Wednesday evening in the Masaki district of the city of Dar es Salaam. The wildlife conservationist was being driven from the airport to his hotel when his taxi was stopped by another vehicle. Two men, one armed with a gun opened his car door and shot him.
Lotter was a director and co-founder of the PAMS Foundation, an NGO that provides conservation and anti-poaching support to communities and governments in Africa. Since starting the organisation in Tanzania in 2009, he had received numerous death threats relating to his work.

[Al Jazeera] A 10-year-old sexual abuse victim in India whose abortion plea was turned down by the country's Supreme Court has delivered a baby.
The child, who was repeatedly raped, had a Caesarean section on Thursday.
The girl did not know she was pregnant and was unaware she had delivered a baby.
Her parents told their daughter she was undergoing stomach surgery to remove a stone.
"The girl is doing fine; she is recovering. We expect she will be discharged early next week," said Dasari Harish, a physician who heads a committee overseeing the girl's care.
The minor, whose identity has been kept secret, delivered a baby girl in a state hospital in the northwestern city of Chandigarh, Harish said.
The girl was repeatedly raped by her uncle over seven months.
Almost 11,000 rape cases in 2015
The crime came to light when the girl was taken to hospital complaining of a stomach ache last month and was found to be around 30 weeks - or around seven months - into the pregnancy. Her uncle was tossed in the clink Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! shortly afterwards.
"The parents of the girl have refused to take custody of the child, and have agreed to her adoption through the state agency. They said they don't even want to see the child," Harish told Thomson Rooters Foundation.
A local court refused to grant the child an abortion, saying it was too risky at such a late stage. A plea in the Supreme Court was dismissed for the same reason on July 28.
Indian law prohibits terminations at more than 20 weeks unless the mother's life is in danger or in exceptional circumstances.
An increasing number of such cases have come to the courts in recent years.
In May, a court allowed another 10-year-old girl allegedly raped by her stepfather to undergo an abortion.
As many as 10,854 cases of child rape were reported in India in 2015, according to the National Crime Records Bureau.

[GoodNewsNetwork] It has been decades since Lawrence Silk foughtthrough three different tours in Vietnam – but due to his dementia, he still wakes up some days and feels like he has to ship out and start fighting once more.
As a means of soothing his troubled mind, however, Lt. Col. Andy LaFrazia stopped by the veteran's bedside with an important gift.
LaFrazia first heard about the 84-year-old's troubled predicament when Silk's daughter Julie Dunn and her husband Kenny posted about her father's condition on social media.
"He believes he has to return to the war to complete his tour and is very upset that his memory care home will not let him go," wrote Kenny. "He is currently in hospice care and through his ups and downs, he consistently is haunted by his need to do his duty."
The couple pleaded for a military official to present their troubled father with some kind of commemoration or certificate that would remind him of his finished service and put his worries to rest.
After being widely shared on Reddit and Facebook, LaFrazia – who coincidentally had served in the same squadron as Silk – volunteered to visit Silk at his care home in Vancouver.
"Today, Lt. Col. LaFrazia presented my dad … with a certificate of appreciation from the US Air Force, a USAF Civil Engineering badge, and challenge coins from the Prime Beef and Red Horse Units," says Julie.
"He also brought with him a reassuring message that his responsibilities to the USAF and the Vietnam Conflict have been concluded and he never has to worry again about returning."
Since posting the photos of the exchange on social media, the couple has become inundated with support and appreciation. Though Kenny and Julie don't know how well the gifts will stave off their father's dark memories, they are still grateful for the gesture.
"When a loved one loses their memory in the twilight of their life, the most that we can hope to give them is comfort and dignity. We feel truly blessed that a community of strangers came together to help us bring that to him when he needed it the most."

Yes, a good but difficult read. A good friend who passed on a couple of years ago served two tours with the Marines and one with the Army in Viet Nam. He never quite left it behind either.
Four soldiers from the Ukrainian army and Russian backed rebel forces died in ongoing fighting in Donetsk, according to Russian language news accounts.
The Ukrainian news daily lb.ua said in a Wednesday report that rebel shelling in Avdievka, which is in the northern area of Donetsk city, killed one Ukrainian soldier and wounded one other.
Rebels shelled Staragnatovka using a variety of heavy weapons Wednesday night from 1800 hrs to midnight. The weapons included BMP-2 and tank main gun fire. One Ukrainian soldier was wounded.
The report went on to say that rebel shelling on Zaitsevo, which is just north of Gorlovka damaged an undisclosed number of residences. The report also said that observers with the International Committee of the Red Cross were present when rebels started their attack. The Ukrainians did not return fire.
No one was wounded in the attack.
The rebels have denied the attacks even took place, according to a statement released on the Donetsk ministry of defense web page.
Quoting Donetsk military official Lt. Colonel Eduard Basurin, military commanders were "extremely surprised" by the news of rebel artillery fire in Zaitsevo. The Ukrainian news release came from the Ukrainian 128th Separate Mountain Infantry Brigade.
The Ukrainians subsequently responded with a number of photographs detailing the destruction in Zaitsevo. Three residences were damaged in the attack, according to a separate report, which was on the website of lb.ua.
According to rebel media, a Russian news television crew came under Ukrainian fire in Holmovsky, which is apparently just adjacent to Gorlovka. No injuries were reported in the attack.
A separate rebel news release said that three Donetsk soldiers were killed in a Ukrainian artillery attack, but it did not elaborate where and under what circumstances.
Rebel media said that Ukrainian overnight artillery fire damaged three residential buildings in Spartak, which is near the Donetsk airport.
Another three residential buildings were damaged in Ukrainian overnight shelling on Dokuchaevsk, which is just south of Donetsk city.
Other rebel reports say that Ukrainian artillery hit several rebel held locales in southern Donetsk, near Mariupol.
[Iran Press TV] North Korea has informed the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... that its nuclear program is not negotiable as long as the United States continues its "hostile policy and nuclear threat" toward Pyongyang.
The North’s Deputy UN Ambassador Kim In-ryong conveyed the message during a phone conversation with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, the North Korean mission to the UN said in a statement on Thursday.
"As long as the US hostile policy and nuclear threat continue, the DPRK... will never place its self-defensive nuclear deterrence on the negotiation table or flinch an inch from the road chosen by itself, the road of bolstering up the state nuclear force," Kim told Guterres.
Alarmed by Washington and Pyongyang’s aggravating war of words over the latter’s ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs, Guterres (pictured below) said Wednesday that it was time to "dial down rhetoric and dial up diplomacy."

It would seem that these people wanting to blow up the symbols of our history and development would like the West to become some 3rd world corrupt shithole. Someone should tell them, the notion of the "Noble Savage" was only a myth and literary construct.
[Indian Express] A 35-year-old Dalit woman’s nose was allegedly slashed and her husband was beaten up by two members of an upper caste family at Renvjha village in Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh. Narendra Singh (32) and his father Sahab Singh beat up the woman’s husband on Monday when he refused to go to their house and do some work, inspector R S Bagri of Surkhi cop shoppe said.
When the woman was taking her husband to a hospital, Narendra and Sahab attacked her too, the police officer said. Madhya Pradesh Women’s Commission (MPWC) chairperson Lata Wankhede claimed that the woman’s nose was cut.
Inspector Bagri said that she had sustained an injury to the nose, and police were waiting for the medical report.
The incident came to light on Wednesday when the woman went to a camp organised by the MPWC in the area to hear complaints of violation of women’s rights, and narrated her ordeal to Wankhede.
The MPWC chief told news hounds that the accused, who wanted to make the woman and her husband "bonded labourers", had cut the woman’s nose.
She had directed the police to arrest the accused and take strict action in the case, Wankhede said.
Bagri said the police started the paperwork but haven't done much else under section 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the IPC and also under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, and were looking for the accused who were absconding.
"The woman is being treated at a hospital. We are waiting for doctor’s report about the injury to her nose. If the report confirms serious injury to nose and internal injuries, harsher sections will be slapped against the accused," the inspector said.

Tragic. The Sikh lion wants his mouse toy to torment.
While the danger of alliance with Russia is adoption of her brutality, the danger of alliance with India is adoption of her caste system. Both are gawdawful. Both alliances are necessary, but there are the anti-American dangers inside those particular alliances, clearly stated.
In my reading of it, part of the dynamic in the Damore firing at Google is an Indian doing ethnic cleansing of Americans to make way for Indian H1B holders. Economics and other factors in there as well. But the ethnic cleansing/race/caste factor is there, for real.
Indians and Chinese, sort of a toss up as to which is more racist, but little toss up as to which is more caste-controlled. Indians, hands down. That is a danger signal for USA, domestically and foreignly.

The left-wing "Antifa" movement is rising in prominence after clashing with white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., but one progressive scholar says the anti-fascists feed the fire they seek to extinguish.
"As for Antifa, it's a minuscule fringe of the Left, just as its predecessors were," Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner. "It's a major gift to the Right, including the militant Right, who are exuberant."

Reminds me of a Stalin era story I had from my maternal grandmother about a neighbor of theirs who was arrested - and never came back - for looking like Leon Trotsky.
h/t Instapundit
While I've written about my dislike of Antifa, there's another group I despise just as much: white nationalists. The idea that somehow anyone is born with more worth than another because of skin color is ridiculous -- though it does bear mentioning that this attitude isn't exclusive to white nationalists. I can't stand those other groups, either.
Yet to them, being white is almost magical. So it's not surprising that many of them are using genetic testing to prove just how white they are. Unfortunately for them, they're not as white as they think

Is it just me or do most of the (insert ethnic, racial type here) supremists appear to be of shall we say less than superior intellect, physical attributes and just plain butt ugly

If nothing else, the events in Charlottesville proved that the far right and the far left deserve each other; they can kill each other off as far as I'm concerned. The sooner, the better.
You knew this was coming
The Navy plans to remove the top three officers from the USS Fitzgerald after a deadly collision off the coast of Japan that killed seven sailors, including two from San Diego.
The Fitzgerald collided with the Philippine merchant ship ACX Crystal in June.
The seven sailors who died were trapped in a flooded berthing compartment. Yeoman 3rd Class Shingo Douglass of San Diego, and Fire Controlman 2nd Class Carlos Victor Ganzon Sibayan of Chula Vista were among the victims.

Crazy. The Fitz can see threats on land, sea, air, and under the sea. They have several radars. They have guys with binoculars.
Even if the Crystal had been running dark, they should have been seen.
Some years ago, a carrier hit a mud bank in, iirc, San Francisco harbor. After that, the bridge doctrine was that everybody talked to everybody. If you see it, you say it, even if somebody else said it.
Had the Officer of the Deck changed the atmosphere so that you'll speak when spoken to? Was the command atmosphere so bad that some of the sailors, seeing the Crystal, kept their mouths shut?

Normal procedure before an inquirey or Court Martial.
#5
I've wondered just how this happened. The possibility of a Command Cuture or Atmosphere as mentioned by RA sprang to mind. What is the point of look outs if they are not allowed to report threats. In the end I hope its not some poor seaman that gets stuck with the blame just to save someones career.
#6
This was to be expected. The three are not being kicked out of the Navy (yet). They are being removed as CO, DO, and CMC.
As far as not charging enlisted people, it depends. If a lookout was asleep, or someone in CIC, then they should be charged.

CU2776, as a sailor for 20 years I've seen shipmates crack up under pressure, so that is not uncommon, but you're also talking about an incident that happened elsewhere.

FP2169, I don't know how many are these days, but when I was on active duty in the early 70s, we had at least 6 or 7 - Officer of the Deck, Junior Officer of the deck, Helmsman (steered the ship), Lee Helmsman (sent orders to the engine), Quartermaster of the Watch (kept the log and noted the position of the ship), Bosuns Mate of the Watch, and possibly a messenger. With the reduced manning the Navy seems to be doing these days, I wouldn't be surprised if they eliminated the messenger and the lee helmsman, and possibly the bosuns mate.
(Sorry for the sexist terms, but that was what the positions were called in my day. We didn't have any female crew members when I was aboard.)
In addition to the bridge crew, there should have been several lookouts. These tend to be very junior, very bored people.
There would have been several people in the Combat Information Center (CIC) as well - a watch officer, as well as several people watching radar screens.

[Iran Press TV] The commander of a US warship that collided with a Philippine-flagged vessel in the Sea of Japan in June will be punished along with several other sailors, a senior admiral has said.
Admiral Bill Moran, the vice chief of naval operations, said on Thursday the USS Fitzgerald’s commanding officer, executive officer and senior enlisted sailor are among those to be disciplined. Blaming an enlisted man are they? SPIT !
"They will be detached from the ship for cause, which (means) we've lost trust and confidence for their ability to lead in those positions and they will not return from the ship," Moran said during a presser.
The USS Fitzgerald guided-missile destroyer collided with the Philippine-flagged merchant ship ACX Crystal 56 nautical miles southwest of Yokosuka, Japan, in the early hours of June 17, killing seven American seamen.
The 10,000-ton guided-missile destroyer and the ACX Crystal, a 29,000-ton container ship collided off Japan's Izu Peninsula. While the container ship sustained little damage, the destroyer suffered severe damage to its starboard side.
Several American and Japanese investigations took place into how the USS Fitzgerald and the container ship collided in clear weather south of Tokyo Bay.
According to a copy of Captain Ronald Advincula's report to Japanese ship owner Dainichi Investment Corporation, the vessel had signaled with flashing lights after the warship "suddenly" steamed on to a course to cross its path.
The vessel attempted to get out of the path of the Fitzgerald, but hit it about 10 minutes later at 1:30 a.m., according to the report.

booting the CO is Sop, but the XO and CMC ? sounds like a bad climate existed on the ship. no mention of status of the OOD and bridge crew on duty at the time.
#2
Beso, Sometimes the enlisted man is guilty too. This collision was the most avoidable I can remember seeing - there had to be plenty of screwups for it to have happened.
#3
In the US Navy, being too close to a FAIL is generally the end of your career.
There's constantly people trying to come up the ladder, and it's too easy to make space at the top by knocking someone off. Not only can they do without you, in 2 years they won't even remember your name.
