What's that? You say FoxNews framed the story to fit their liberal bashing agenda by purposely omitting that key detail? Color me surprised.

Can anyone read this post? What does it say?

"I’m a Leninist. Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal, too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment."

>The Free Law Project and officials overseeing PACER have been at odds for years, due in part to the nonprofit group’s promotion of a tool that automatically transfers downloaded court documents into a public database, undercutting the estimated $145 million in fees the system generates every year for the courts. Some court websites contain warnings not to use the Free Law-sponsored plug-in, known as RECAP.

>Despite those warnings, a source involved with the project said dealings with the courts’ administrative arm have been cordial in recent years.

>“We’ve had, actually, a pretty respectful relationship,” the source said.

>The federal court system is also facing lawsuits over claims that PACER erroneously charges users for more data than they actually receive and over claims that the fee structure is set too high, making the system a profit center in a way the law does not permit.

>Last month, a federal judge in the nation’s capital certified a class action in a lawsuit alleging that the government is charging millions more than is needed to operate the system.

>It was November 6th, 2016. The Kurdish militia known as the YPG – a Kurmanji acronym for People's Protection Units – had commenced a major offensive to liberate the city that serves as the global headquarters for ISIS. The YPG was backed by U.S. air power and fighting alongside a coalition of Arab and Assyrian militias. Also within their ranks, though scantly reported, was a group of about 75 hardcore leftists, anarchists and communists from Europe and America, Belden among them, fighting to defend a socialist enclave roughly the size of Massachusetts.

>Belden, who is 27, started tweeting photos of the front shortly after arriving in Syria in October. The first widely shared image showed him crouched in his YPG uniform, wearing thick Buddy Holly glasses, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, a stray puppy in one hand and a sniper rifle in the other. "To misquote Celine," the post read, "when you're in, you're in." He has since amassed 19,000 followers under the handle PissPigGranddad, puzzling the Internet with a combination of leftist invective and scurrilous bro humor. Tweets like "Heading to the Quandil Mountains to lecture the PKK about entitlement reform" are followed by "The dude with the lamb bailed so now we're fucked for dinner."

>Belden had no military experience before joining the YPG. He lived in San Francisco, where he arranged flowers for a living. Before that, he was a self-described lumpenproletariat, a lowlife punk and petty criminal with a heroin habit who started reading Marx and Lenin seriously in rehab. Once sober, he got involved in leftist causes, marching for tenants' rights, blocking evictions, protesting police brutality. As he prepared for the Middle East, his girlfriend thought he was going to do humanitarian work. She was "not stoked," Belden says, to learn that he planned to fight alongside the YPG.

>The first phase of the Raqqa offensive was a mission to take Tal Saman, a satellite village of 10,000 people 17 miles north of Raqqa proper. "We pushed up to Tal Saman till we had it surrounded on a half circle," Belden says, "then we just bombarded the shit out of it." Refugees poured out of the village, seeking protection behind Kurdish lines. "Hundreds of civilians coming across for days in a row," Belden says. At night, his unit stayed in whatever building they'd just taken, camped out on rooftops in the excruciating cold. "The first week we were out it was awful," Belden says. The stepmother of a fellow volunteer from the U.S. had gotten Belden's number. She kept texting to make sure they were eating enough.

>The march on Raqqa slowed to a halt after two weeks, as the YPG consolidated its hold over a string of liberated villages. The YPG controls a region of 4 million people in northern Syria known as Rojava. Its tens of thousands of motivated fighters have been battling ISIS for five years. American as well as French warplanes have been covering their maneuvers with airstrikes for the past two, forcing ISIS off the roads and highways and open desert, and back into the urban strongholds of Mosul and Raqqa. Now, the Kurds are kicking the door down in both cities.

>But the YPG is not your typical ethnic or sectarian faction. Its fighters are loyal to an imprisoned guerrilla leader who was once a communist but now espouses the same kind of secular, feminist, anarcho-libertarianism as Noam Chomsky or the activists of Occupy Wall Street. The Kurds are implementing these ideals in Rojava, and that has attracted a ragtag legion of leftist internationals, like Belden, who have come from nearly every continent to help the YPG beat ISIS and establish an anarchist collective amid the rubble of the war – a "stateless democracy" equally opposed to Islamic fundamentalism and capitalist modernity. They call it the Rojava Revolution, and they want you.

I cross into Canada once a year, you already have a wall and yeah we paid for it

>Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb's office released more than 30 pages from Pence's AOL account, but declined to release an unspecified number of emails because the state considers them confidential and too sensitive to release to the public.

>That's of particular concern to Justin Cappos, a computer security professor at New York University's Tandon School of Engineering. “It’s one thing to have an AOL account and use it to send birthday cards to grandkids," he said. "But it’s another thing to use it to send and receive messages that are sensitive and could negatively impact people if that information is public.”

>Indiana law does not prohibit public officials from using personal email accounts, although the law is generally interpreted to mean that official business conducted on private email must be retained for public record purposes.

AOL? I didn't think it was still around.

>Since 2010, Republicans like Paul have described the passage of the ACA as an opaque and secret-laden process, one that Democrats rightly paid a price for. For seven years, they’ve summed up the law’s passage with a quote that then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) gave to the National Association of Counties: “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy.”

>Since then Republicans have promised that their repeal of the ACA would avoid the tumult of the 2009-2010 process by which it was passed.

>“We’re not hatching some bill in a backroom and plopping it on the American people’s front door,” House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) said on NBC’s “Today” this week.

>It’s common for complex legislation to be worked over in private by committees ahead of a public markup, with the text of the bill available to the public two days in advance. But Paul, who has introduced his own ACA replacement bill with the backing of the House Freedom Caucus, used his visit to H157 to brand the meeting as a violation of the Republican Party’s promises.

>“In my state, in Kentucky, it’s illegal to do this,” he said, gesturing to the door he wasn’t allowed to walk through. “This is being presented as if it were a national secret, as if this were a plot to invade another country.”

>As more reporters craned their necks and pointed their recorders, Paul denounced the aspects of the GOP replacement bill that he’d learned from media sources and conservative House members.

>“What we’re hearing rumors of is that parts of Obamacare are left in place,” he said. “For example, the ‘Cadillac tax’ will be left in place but renamed. The individual mandate will be left in place, and instead of paying the government a penalty, you’ll be paying an insurance penalty. These, to me, are Democrat ideas.”
...

>For a few more minutes, Paul attempted to carry out a news conference in a space designed for anything but. Capitol Police moved around the group of reporters and called out when a staffer trying to get around the crowd stumbled over a tripod. Paul wrapped it up only when Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.), a member of the committee, was unable to enter the room.

>“We will put a formal protest in now,” said Paul. “This is the beginning of this. I expect public pressure will get them to release this.”

>In a statement released after Paul left, Ryan’s office pointed out that the Kentucky senator was protesting not a bill, but a place where legislators were trying to meet. The bill was being hammered out, with a markup scheduled for the coming week. “The Energy and Commerce Committee members are working on their portion of the health-care repeal and replace plan,” said Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong. “We would refer you to the committee for more.”

>But that statement did not close down the circus. While Paul was holding court near H157, Reps. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) and Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) led another group of reporters on a sort of scavenger hunt to the Energy and Commerce committee’s main hearing room and through a Capitol basement. House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer arrived at H157 shortly after Paul, telling a bust of Abraham Lincoln that he couldn’t find the bill, as a staffer filmed the encounter for Facebook. For an afternoon, Democrats and conservatives were feeling the same, befuddled mood.

>“We asked for the score and all that. We were told we’ll have that by the time it gets to the floor,” said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), a Paul ally in the House. “We need to have that now! You can’t have a discussion about this proposal independent from costs. It’s ridiculous. That’s kind of like, just ‘vote it to see what’s in it.'”

Let me redpill you on society. There is no such thing as freedom, just power and rule of the fittest. The few worthy have always ruled over the vast shit. If you don't like that, get powerful yourself.

Is it even fun, or do we starve to death right away?

>>114249
I agree that there is no such thing as freedom, and perpetuating the belief that there is is designed to placate the masses.

I still think freedom might be attainable, but it would take much much more than mere social change. It can't be attained through those means. If it could, we'd have done it a long time ago.

“They were screaming that they couldn’t breathe, but I knew if they were screaming, they were breathing,” said Bayers.

The incident left Bayers with a broken fibula and twisted knee, while his son has a minor concussion and sore neck and shoulder. Inch is sore, but was not injured.

Bayers described it as a “near-fatal incident.” He wanted to tell his story to warn others about the dangers of snow forts and tunnels.

“If I had left those kids there alone, they would have never got it,” he said. “If you are going to build a fort, there should always be an adult there — and do not have a roof on it, and if you do, it has to be a very thin roof.

“If we can prevent this from happening to even one more person, then it’s worth it.”

>>113891
Of course, he could have warned them that children have died in snow forts because they built roofs.

INSTEAD, the kids are now traumatized. Years from now, they'll remember this event as one of the main causes of their anxiety issues. Or they'll never identify it so will always be controlled by it.

This is why I'm afraid to be reborn: having two more negligent and careless parents.

>>114228
The kids will be fine. Having 'OMG I nearly died' scrapes is part of going up.

>and if you do, it has to be a very thin roof.

They're already planning the next snow fort. Everything is okay.

>Caterpillar is fighting an Internal Revenue Service demand that the company pay $2 billion in taxes and penalties for profits assigned to a Swiss parts distribution subsidiary, Caterpillar SARL, or CSARL, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That subsidiary was also the subject of a 2014 Senate committee report that concluded Caterpillar shifted billions in profits abroad and had $2.4 billion in taxes deferred or avoided from 2012.

>"As a result of those licensing and servicing agreements, over the next thirteen years from 2000 to 2012, Caterpillar shifted to CSARL in Switzerland taxable income from its non-U.S. parts sales totaling more than $8 billion, and deferred or avoided paying U.S. taxes totaling about $2.4 billion," the report said.

>Caterpillar, in its 2016 annual report, said it is "vigorously contesting" the IRS demand. "We believe that the relevant transactions complied with applicable tax laws and did not violate judicial doctrines," it stated.

>Caterpillar also disclosed in its report that it had received grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois seeking documents and information related to the movement of cash among U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries, and the purchase and resale of replacement parts by Caterpillar Inc. and non-U.S. Caterpillar subsidiaries, including Caterpillar SARL. Caterpillar said it is cooperating with the investigation and did not believe it would have a material impact on its finances.
...

>The facility in Morton, according to the company’s website, is responsible for receiving and shipping replacement parts to parts facilities and Caterpillar dealers worldwide.

>Seven people, all wearing dark colored jackets marked either “IRS special agent” or “Police federal agents,” entered the Caterpillar headquarters, according to a video posted by the Peoria Journal Star. Several of the agents were armed, while others were pulling large black roller bags as they entered the building.

>Caterpillar reported sales fell 18 percent in 2016 to $38.5 billion and since late 2015 it has shrunk its workforce by more than 16,000 employees and consolidated or closed 30 facilities. Caterpillar cut 12,300 jobs in 2016, including 7,700 in the United States.

>It said it was considering closing two more major production facilities, including one in Aurora, Illinois, and also announced it was moving its corporate headquarters from Peoria to Chicago this year.
