Same thing happened at Tea Party rallies. Some random guy shows up with a racist sign, news media films him then asks rally organizers why they didn't toss the guy out.
Except, this wasn't "some random guy". Jack Posobiec, the guy who held up the "Rape Melania" sign, was a paid Russian troll and protester who know has White House press credentials. He is one of the many direct connections between Donald Trump and Russian efforts to disrupt the 2016 election. He's now a well-known member of the alt-right.
But the article says they were facebook accounts that offered financial help to organize pro-BLM protests.
And I pointed out that the same techniques were used more widely, as in the case of Jack Posobiec.
Each one of these disinfo attacks by itself seems small, but you have to remember there were multi-front attacks. I think the full scope of this is going to be a lot more clear when the Special Prosecutor presents his evidence to the grand jury. We shouldn't have to wait long now that Mueller has questioned or subpoenaed White House officials who are only once-removed from the President.
May I point out that Hillary was also for Black Lives Matter and Blacktivist, the two groups being paid to protest?
Here's how it works. You pay someone to participate in a protest and then have them do something that's really ugly and angers people.
For example, one paid Russian protester, a guy named "Jack Posobiec", would go to leftist rallies and hold up "Rape Melania" signs. Now this guy is an alt-right supporter of Trump, but he's not recognizable, so people think, "Man, those leftists are really horrible. Look, there's a "Rape Melania" sign."
Then, it gets the front-page treatment on Infowars, Breitbart, DailyStormer, and eventually ends up on Fox News. Total outlay for the sign is maybe a buck. Trump gets elected, and get this: "Jack Posobiec" becomes a "journalist" with White House credentials. So, not only does he get a little money on the front-end, but he gets rewarded by Trump on the back-end. Oh, and Posobiec was also one of the leading "Pizzagate" conspiracy theorists, which we now know was also a Russian op.
Traditional PC shipments are forecast to drop by nearly eight percent this year
I'm getting ready to put together a monster water-cooled gaming PC build in the next month or so when I start seeing sales on components. Will that count as a "PC sale" or does that only apply to people who go to the Wal-Mart and buy whatever horseshit is sitting on the shelves?
You know what? Maybe I'll just go to that iBuyPower place and order me up some sick Intel Ultimate Pantyripper Black Box Edition and let them do the heavy lifting. This way I won't have to nick up my hands digging around the sharp edges inside a full tower case.
Either way, it's going to be sweet. And I really don't give a fuck if "traditional PC sales" are down or not. I'm gonna get mine, and the rest of you can fiddle with your iWatches and eTablets like the fruits that you are.
But apparently a couple of folks around here have graduated from simply cutting off somebody on the highway to shooting at them..
During my year in Houston, I saw a few incidents inside the 610 loop when someone would pull out a big ol' pistol and point it at another driver for offenses such as changing lanes or not going fast enough. Didn't see any of them discharge their weapons, though. However, on New Year's Eve, while walking the dog, I saw several trucks cruising down Almeda Rd and firing weapons into the air. My dog did not like it one bit, no sir. I had to drink about six shots of bourbon to get her to settle down.
I'm from Chicago, so the discharge of firearms does not generally upset me, but at least there I have a pretty sense of which people are likely to fire their weapons. In Houston, I had to assume that anyone could be carrying and fixing to unload a clip at any time, for any reason.
Well, if I'm being fired upon, I"d much rather have the capability to return fire, rather than just "take it".
I'm curious, where the fuck do all these people who are getting "fired upon" live? I've lived in bad neighborhoods in big cities and I've never ever been fired upon.
I know it. With digital technology, the market is more free and efficient than it has ever been.
That's crazy. Open-outcry trading was much more transparent. At least you could tell when something wasn't kosher. Digital trading puts everything in a black box. You don't know what's happening, or with whom. The financial markets have never been less "free and efficient" since the 19th century. Do you even remember 2008?
Like digital voting machines, digital technology has been implemented because the people at the top don't believe you can be trusted.
If you look very closely, you will see the reason why the GOP congress would work with President Clinton but not President Obama. Take your time. It'll jump out at you.
n the event of a dirty bomb or a nuclear meltdown, emergency responders can safely tolerate radiation levels equivalent to thousands of chest X-rays, the Environmental Protection Agency said in new guidelines that ease off on established safety levels. The EPA's determination sets a level ten times the drinking water standard for radiation recommended under President Barack Obama.
Let's not bullshit here. This is about Trump's effort to get rid of every single thing Obama ever did.
Trump is your racist, senile uncle. With nuclear codes.
(1) We have had an unseasonably warm fall. (2) Cooling temperatures trigger the production of red and purple pigments in leaves. (3) We expect to see less red foliage this year.
Explain to me which of these statements is *political*.
The one that contains the word, "warm". Everyone knows that every mention of warmer than usual weather is an affront to the orange god-king.
As another poster mentioned, some of the naive people here who object to a free market should do some active trading themselves, to open their eyes to how the markets actually work.
You believe the financial markets are "free markets"?
HFT actually benefits the market for the small players, because it increases liquidity.
For the record, this is complete horseshit.
The idea that the market should be designed for the benefit of "small players" is exactly counter to history. Once open-outcry bidding disappeared, there was no longer anything connecting the financial markets with the real world. It's nothing more than a method for siphoning money from people who work for a living and giving it to those who do not.
As a small trader, I really wish that there was a lot more HFT action
If your trading is limited by the number of "instruments liquid enough", then that's just more evidence that the system is terribly broken and has completely become disconnected from the very purpose of financial markets.
We'd be better off if "small traders" like you found something productive to do.
I'm not talking about posting using a karma bonus. My point is that there's no way to post only to people who have accounts with ratings >0. As far as I can tell, there's no way to do that.
Nah. If you're planning for the collapse of civilisation - even temporary - bottled water, canned food, gasoline etc, are king.
Here in the US, guns are king. Ammo is king. With 300,000,000 guns in private hands, if the power goes out for any extended period of time, the guy who runs the crematorium will be king.
ShanghaiBill spends an awful lot of time on slashdot talking about how he hires, and how it is hard to hire good people. And yet, for all his whining and condescension, he has never posted a link to the great jobs for great employees he's always seeking.
Why would he post a link to a great job on Slashdot? So he can get inundated with inquiries from bitter jackoff Anonymous Cowards like you?
Here on Slashdot, you can surf the comments at +1 if you want to avoid the tsuris, but you can't post at +1.
Who needs a bunch of resumes from GNAA, APK, neo-Nazis, 4chan trolls, MRAs and griefers? Here, let me illustrate:
If your code sucks, write better code.
Why you dumbfuck. The best advice you can offer is "git gud"? I'll bet you're a goddamn prize employee.

That was addressed. The guy would only pull out the sign for the photo op.

Now that you mention it, I wonder how many accidents are caused by Texans admiring their guns, or trying to use a gun to make a call.
This is why Texas has decided to do away with all laws except those against abortion and using the wrong bathroom.
Since criminals don't obey laws, there should be no laws. That there is some prime Texas logic on the hoof.
This is the second time this week that a Slashdot story has referred to the CPU of a computer as its "brains". What is this, 1980?
