Ivanhoe Posted October 14 Posted October 14 An anthropologist could go wild trying to parse out demographic differentials. Example being Dallas and Houston having pretty similar racial demographics but substantially different crime perceptions. Likewise Albuquerque vs Phoenix or Tucson. Sacramento is roughly 80 miles from Oakland, but worlds apart in crime. Which is funny to me, because when I left Cali back in the 80s I thought that Sacto was a crime-ridden craphole.
Ivanhoe Posted October 14 Posted October 14 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/myth-falling-crime-why-americans-dont-trust-numbers Quote The reason for this disconnect is simple: Most crime never gets reported in the first place. The Baltimore Sun recently highlighted what criminologists have known for decades—about half of all crime in the United States isn’t captured in police data. Burglaries are reported only 45 percent of the time. Simple assaults, 37 percent. Sexual assaults, a shameful 21 percent. Think about that for a moment: Nearly four out of five sexual assaults never reach the official record. Yet politicians still spin a story that safety is improving. Quote Why aren’t Americans calling the cops? For many, it’s because they believe the system won’t deliver justice. Victims of property crimes often assume police won’t recover stolen items. Domestic violence survivors fear financial ruin if their abuser is arrested. Immigrants worry that calling 911 might lead to a knock on the door from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In cities like Baltimore, there is a deeply rooted stigma against “snitching” that makes reporting crimes socially dangerous. And for those who simply distrust the police, staying silent feels safer than engaging. In my current cowtown, my estimate is that 90% of both violent crime (what little there is) and property crime occurs within 100 yards of the main drag. I have no idea where the patrol officers spend their time, but I rarely see cop cars there. I have the impression that the city's police dept. mirrors the overall city government in that they try to avoid contact with residents in general, and residents with problems in particular.

Ivanhoe Posted October 29 Posted October 29 https://freebeacon.com/campus/university-leaders-say-organized-networks-including-iran-drove-anti-israel-campus-unrest/ Quote Several leaders of prominent universities on Monday said they believe the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic demonstrations that broke out on campuses across the United States during the Jewish state's war against Hamas were not organic, instead telling a panel audience they believe "organized networks," and even foreign governments, may have driven the unrest. Leaders of notable U.S. universities had not offered many thoughts on the connections between campus protests and outside groups before Monday’s discussion on combating anti-Semitism. During the event, though, Syracuse University chancellor Kent Syverud brought up Iran in particular. Quote "There was, not a large group, maybe 30-plus students or something, but they were using the playbook that they had seen at Columbia and other places," he said. "It was the same messaging. So, it's more than a social contagion. I think they're organized networks as well." Quote Hamas members themselves have indicated the terror group has worked with U.S. activists. Three Israelis who had been held captive in Gaza alleged in a May lawsuit that one of their Hamas captors told them that "Hamas in Gaza was coordinating with its allies, including its allies in the media and on college campuses, to foment hatred against Israel and Jews." China has all those "Confucius Institutes" at/around US universities. And we are learning about universities doing bad things in order to receive money from Qatar.
sunday Posted October 29 Posted October 29 It's always Hamas, or Qatar, or the boogeyman of the week.

Ivanhoe Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Speaking of bogeymen; https://freebeacon.com/media/so-cringe-it-hurt-cnn-mocked-for-sycophantic-show-praising-qatar-after-hamas-loving-sheikhs-paid-for-its-flashy-new-offices/ Quote CNN raised eyebrows in February when it announced an expansion to Qatar, the Hamas-friendly Gulf monarchy that bans criticism of the government and spreading "rumors" or "fake news" with ill intent. While CNN's vice president for communications Jonathan Hawkins told the Washington Free Beacon at the time that Qatar would be footing the bill for "facilities and technical support," the network said the beating heart of the operation would be an editorially independent "innovative weekly show" from a "team of CNN content creators" aired on CNN International. Meet CNN Creators, the completely, totally, absolutely not sponsored in any way new show from a "team of digital-native storytellers as they navigate the stories that matter most." The first episode features four little-known CNN reporters and producers gallivanting through Doha's Souq Waqif market, where they marvel at stray cats and try on "traditional Qatari perfume." Qatar has increased its footprint in American academia (whores one and all), now its buying its way into the American MSM.
Ivanhoe Posted November 9 Posted November 9 https://www.fox5dc.com/news/violent-dc-weekend-12-shot-including-child-several-near-howard-university Quote WASHINGTON - Twelve people were shot across the District in just nine hours this weekend, including a 5-year-old boy and several near Howard University, marking one of the most violent stretches of the year, according to police. One of the worst shootings happened near Howard University, right in the middle of homecoming festivities. Quote The violence began on Friday around 5:30 p.m., when a teenage girl was shot on Yuma Street in the southeast. Fifteen minutes later, a teenage boy was hit on 50th Street. By 7:30 p.m., a man was shot on 16th Street in the northwest. Then, at 8:18 p.m., a 5-year-old boy was injured on Savannah Terrace in the southeast when police say they believed a bullet grazed his face. Just minutes later, three men, one woman, and a teenage boy were shot in the 600 block of Howard Place in the northwest near Howard University. Police arrested two suspects and recovered three guns but say more individuals may be involved. The gunfire didn’t stop there. Before Friday night ended, two men were shot on Benning Road in the northeast, and another man was critically wounded early Saturday on Hiatt Place in the northwest. Two suspects in custody so far, however no descriptions. Thus I will go out on a limb and predict that the perps are hoodrats. I'm not seeing it on usatoday.com or cnn.com, which supports my assertion.

Ivanhoe Posted November 12 Posted November 12 https://dailycaller.com/2025/11/10/exclusive-us-nuclear-bomber-fleet-shares-fence-trailer-park-linked-chinese-intel-miles-guo/ Quote The top secret June 2025 B-2 Bomber strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities was launched from Whiteman Air Force base, which shares a fence with a foreign-owned trailer park linked to a convicted fraudster with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence ties. The Knob Noster Trailer Park in rural Missouri is located less than a mile from the runway of “the world’s only nuclear-capable stealth bomber.” Business filings and social media posts reveal the RV park is one of several properties near U.S. military interests acquired by a web of shell companies, which are ultimately owned by a couple who live in Canada and belong to organizations controlled by disgraced Chinese tycoon and self-described former CCP intelligence “affiliate,” Miles Guo, The New Yorker wrote in a 2022 profile. Maybe if the War Department had been spending less time on DEI and more time on tracking foreign intel activities, stuff like this wouldn't happen. Of course if you've ever lived around a military installation that participates in strategic events, you know when things are going hot. When Desert Shield was starting up, I was living outside a USAF base home to fighter squadrons, and the heavies were flying in and out at Oh Dark Thirty night after night. Everyone within 5 miles of the runways knew they were headed downrange. Guaranteed there were at least two or three dozen foreign intel operatives living in the area making calls.

Ivanhoe Posted November 17 Posted November 17 Another one in Charlotte, victim still alive (barely); https://thepostmillennial.com/charlotte-stabbing-suspect-was-freed-twice-this-year-before-brutal-bus-attack Quote A Charlotte man accused of nearly killing another passenger on a city bus last week had already been in and out of jail twice this year. Court records show that 57-year-old James Calvin Bennett was free on bond in October, just a few weeks before police say he stabbed a man in the chest during a CATS bus ride. Police arrested Bennett on Nov. 7 and charged him with attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and indecent exposure. The victim, identified as Jose “Frenchie” Mulongo, suffered multiple stab wounds, including one dangerously close to his heart, according to a police affidavit. Officers wrote that Mulongo was “close to dying” when first responders arrived. The bus driver later told investigators she recognized Bennett as a homeless man who often rode her route and said he appeared to stalk Mulongo up and down the aisle moments before the attack. Detectives said surveillance footage backed up her account. Quote Police later realized Bennett was the same suspect in an incident reported just four days earlier, when a woman said a man had masturbated while staring at her on another bus. Bennett had 15 court activities in the last 3 years.

The specifics escape my memory now but I remember there being a lot of open source info flowing onto social media in the days leading up to Israels strikes on Iran that showed Israel was getting ready to launch those strikes.

Ivanhoe Posted November 18 Posted November 18 I doubt that. An E1 in a private home would have access to a toaster oven, and we can't have that.
