Trump’s playbook is Russia’s playbook
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in July withheld an intelligence bulletin warning of a Russian plot to spread misinformation regarding Joe Biden's mental health. The bulletin, titled “Russia Likely to Denigrate Health of U.S. Candidates to Influence 2020 Election,” was blocked by the office of acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf on July 9.
The bulletin states that analysts had “high confidence” in their conclusion. However, a DHS spokesperson tried to defend the “delay” in issuing the document by saying it did not meet the agency’s standards. This is curious because just a week later, on July 16, DHS circulated a bulletin on anarchists in Portland that officers admitted they had “low confidence” in. Why was the Russia memo held back but the Portland one released?
Trump has been pushing the same line of attack against Biden for months - yet another instance of Russia and Trump operating from the same playbook. For instance, in March Trump said there was “something going on” with Biden; in June Trump ran selectively edited ads asserting that Biden is “unfit to serve as Commander in Chief”; last month Trump ran a digital ad portraying Biden as perpetually confused and mentally unstable. Most recently, Trump said questions about his own health are only in the news because “they want to try and get me to be on Biden's physical level."
DHS is just the latest agency in the Trump administration to erode election security, following actions by the Justice Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) last month. DNI John Ratcliffe announced he was ending in-person congressional briefings on election security ahead of November and AG Bill Barr removed a leading career official at the Justice Department’s national security division, replacing him with an inexperienced political appointee. The ODNI’s decision to halt congressional election briefs may have been influenced by top White House officials. National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, among others, have repeatedly discussed in meetings with staff and with Trump “how to restrict and control the flow of information on such sensitive topics to Capitol Hill.”
One White House official told The Daily Beast that Meadows has for months been wary of the type of briefings on Capitol Hill that Democratic sources can potentially use to try to make Trump look bad through surreptitious leaks to media outlets.
Meanwhile, interim Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee Marco Rubio (R-FL) said last week that his committee will be granted an exception to the ODNI’s new policy and continue to receive in-person briefings from top U.S. intelligence officials about election-security issues. This essentially means that only Democrat-led committees have been cut out of the process ensuring election security. House Democrats wrote to Ratcliffe insinuating if his office does not provide the previously scheduled briefings this month they will issue subpoenas and/or defund the ODNI in the appropriations bill due by the end of the month. Read the letter here. In addition to attacks on Biden’s health, DHS has determined that Russia is seeking to “amplify” concerns over the integrity of U.S. elections by promoting allegations that mail-in voting will lead to widespread fraud. Intelligence analysts say this strategy has been underway since at least March, coinciding with Trump’s own assaults on mail-in voting.
For instance, in March Trump said if he agreed to funding vote-by-mail expansions in the first coronavirus stimulus bill, the U.S. would see “levels of voting that, if you ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again” (clip). Fact check: Neither party has historically benefited. On April 7, at the White House press briefing, Trump claimed: "Mail ballots are a very dangerous thing for this country, because they're cheaters… They're fraudulent in many cases" (clip). Fact check: There is no evidence that mail ballots are dangerous or fraudulent.
At a White House press briefing on Friday, Trump denied there is any proof that Russia poisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Instead of backing the German government's analysis of Nalvany's illness, Trump then redirected the criticism from Russia to China (clip).
"I don't know exactly what happened. I think it's tragic. It's terrible; it shouldn't happen. We haven't had any proof yet, but I will take a look. It is interesting that everybody is always mentioning Russia - and I don't mind you mentioning Russia - but I think probably China, at this point, is a nation that you should be talking about much more so than Russia. Because the things that China's doing are far worse.”
Trump then went on to say he’s “taken stronger action against Russia than any other country in the world,” but added “I do get along with President Putin” (clip).
RELATED: Leaked notes obtained by the Telegraph say that when Theresa May asked for Trump to take a strong stand after Russia poisoned Sergei Skripal, Trump replied “I’d rather follow than lead.” He pushed May to “put together a coalition” first.
The Trump administration plans to deport a Russian national living in America, a move experts say is in response to a politically motivated request by Russia. Gregory Duralev was persecuted by the Russian state for exposing corruption. He fled to America and applied for asylum in 2015. While waiting for a decision on his application, he was arrested by ICE and jailed for nearly 18 months. His case is now in court.
“DHS has acted no better than the Russian authorities,” Duralev said. “They simply fabricated charges against me for violations I never committed — and if DHS can trump up charges against immigrants with impunity, nobody can guarantee they won’t start doing it” to regular Americans. “So that’s the main message I now hope to send.”
Michael Cohen & Peter Strzok
Former FBI agent Peter Strzok has a book coming out called “Compromised.” In it, he alleges that FBI investigators came to believe it was “conceivable, if unlikely” that Russia was secretly controlling President Trump after he took office:
“We certainly had evidence that this was the case: that Trump, while gleefully wreaking havoc on America’s political institutions and norms, was pulling his punches when it came to our historic adversary, Russia,” Strzok writes. “Given what we knew or had cause to suspect about Trump’s compromising behavior in the weeks, months, and years leading up to the election, moreover, it also seemed conceivable, if unlikely, that Moscow had indeed pulled off the most stunning intelligence achievement in human history: secretly controlling the president of the United States — a Manchurian candidate elected.”
He now says he doesn’t believe that Trump is literally a Russian spy: “I don’t think that Trump, when he meets with Putin, receives a task list for the next quarter,” Strzok said, referencing the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. “But I do think the president is compromised, that he is unable to put the interests of our nation first, that he acts from hidden motives, because there is leverage over him, held specifically by the Russians but potentially others as well.” In an interview with Politico, Strzok confirms that he and then-deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, opened a counterintelligence case on the president, but that it likely was never pursued. Two weeks ago, NYT reported that Rosenstein secretly closed it. As if there weren’t enough political books coming out this summefall, Michael Cohen is releasing his, called “Disloyal: A Memoir.” The following a couple of quick takeaways: Cohen says that he, Trump, Aras Agalarov, Emin Agalarov, and others, watched a strip show in Las Vegas where one performer simulated peeing on another performer, who pretended to drink it. Trump reportedly reacted with “delight.” Aras Agalarov, a Russian real estate mogul, is a trusted associate of Putin and reportedly served as a liaison between Trump and the Russian president during Trump’s trip to Moscow. WaPo:
On Russia, Cohen writes that the cause behind Trump’s admiration of Russian President Vladimir Putin is simpler than many of his critics assume. Above all, he writes, Trump loves money — and he wrongly identified Putin as “the richest man in the world by a multiple.” Trump loved Putin, Cohen wrote, because the Russian leader had the ability “to take over an entire nation and run it like it was his personal company — like the Trump Organization, in fact.” ...According to Cohen, Trump’s sycophantic praise of the Russian leader during the 2016 campaign began as a way to suck up and ensure access to the oligarch’s money after he lost the election. But he claims Trump came to understand that Putin’s hatred of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, dating to her support for the 2011 protest movement in Russia, could also help Trump amass more power in the United States.
USPS & mail voting
According to a Washington Post report yesterday, Postmaster Louis DeJoy engaged in campaign money laundering, also called a straw-donor scheme, at his former logistics business. Five of his former employees told WaPo that they were “urged” to donate to politicians in North Carolina and would be paid back through bonuses from DeJoy. Such a plan would allow DeJoy to illegally circumvent campaign donation limits.
“Louis was a national fundraiser for the Republican Party. He asked employees for money. We gave him the money, and then he reciprocated by giving us big bonuses,” said David Young, DeJoy’s longtime director of human resources, who had access to payroll records at New Breed from the late 1990s to 2013 and is now retired. “He would ask employees to make contributions at the same time that he would say, ‘I’ll get it back to you down the road,’ ” said [another] former employee. ...A Washington Post analysis of federal and state campaign finance records found a pattern of extensive donations by New Breed employees to Republican candidates, with the same amount often given by multiple people on the same day. Between 2000 and 2014, 124 individuals who worked for the company together gave more than $1 million to federal and state GOP candidates. Many had not previously made political donations, and have not made any since leaving the company, public records show.
More than one million mail-in ballots were sent late to voters during the 2020 primary elections, an audit by the USPS IG’s office determined. Most of the ballots were late, the USPS says, because local election boards sent the ballots to voters at the last minute. Official press release.
[The audit] found the problems during primaries had been most pronounced in Kentucky and New York, where a combined 628,000 ballots were sent out late. In 17 states, the audit found, more than 589,000 ballots were sent from election boards to voters after the state’s ballot mailing deadline. In 11 states, more than 44,000 ballots were sent from election boards to voters the day of or the day before the state’s primary election. One particularly troubling situation, auditors found, unfolded in Pennsylvania, where 500 ballots were sent to voters the day after the election.
Furthermore, only 13% of the ballots were mailed with the recommended bar code tracking technology. Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D) was blocked from attending two scheduled tours of USPS facilities last week. Local Postal Service officials informed her and union leaders waiting to accompany her into the building that national USPS leadership had directed them to bar the group from the building. A Postal Service spokeswoman said they simply needed more notice for a tour. Many states, including important battleground states, are not legally permitted to process mail-in/absentee ballots until Election Day, leading to concern that results will be delayed by days or weeks. For instance, in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan election officials cannot even begin processing ballots until Election Day. Processing involves opening envelopes, flattening ballots to run through the scanning machine, and prepping for the scanning.
"When voters have to wait so long for results, it erodes trust in the process and leaves room for partisan bad actors to dispute the will of the people," said Amber McReynolds, CEO of the National Vote at Home Institute, a nonprofit organization.
AG Bill Barr made three stunning false claims about mail voting during an interview with Wolf Blitzer last week. First, Barr wouldn’t even acknowledge that voting twice is a crime - because just hours earlier, Trump encouraged his North Carolina supporters to vote twice to “test” the state’s mail-in voting system (clip).
BLITZER: It sounds like he’s encouraging people to break the law and try to vote twice. BARR: It seems to me what he’s saying is, he’s trying to make the point that the ability to monitor this system is not good. And it was so good, if you tried to vote a second time you would be caught if you voted in person. BLITZER: That would be illegal if they did that. If somebody mailed in a ballot and then actually showed up to vote in person, that would be illegal. BARR: "I don't know what the law in the particular state says.” BLITZER: You can’t vote twice. BARR: "I don't know what the law in the particular state says.”
Then, Barr tried to assert that foreign countries could fake ballots, but when challenged he admitted he had no evidence (clip).
BLITZER: You’ve said you were worried that a foreign country could send thousands of fake ballots, thousands of fake ballots to people that it might be impossible to detect. What are you basing that on? BARR: I’m basing — as I’ve said repeatedly, I’m basing that on logic. BLITZER: Pardon? BARR: Logic.
Finally, Barr cited a supposed incident of mail-in voting fraud in Texas. Too bad it doesn’t exist.
The payroll
Charles Rettig, the Trump-appointed IRS Commissioner who has refused to release President Trump’s tax returns, has made hundreds of thousands of dollars renting out Trump properties while in office. Rettig makes $100,000 - $200,000 a year from two units at Trump International Waikiki. When first nominated, Rettig failed to disclose his financial ties to Trump Waikiki. When questioned by Congress, he did not directly answer concerns about the properties.
CREW: With Trump’s name removed from some buildings as it began to hurt property values, we can only imagine how toxic it would become if a bombshell in his tax returns were released. Which means the IRS Commissioner has a vested interest in the success of the Trump brand—and of preventing anything that could damage it.
Voice of America staffers say Trump appointee Michael Pack is threatening to wash away legal protections intended to insulate their news reports from political meddling. Since arriving, Pack has fired the network's leaders, pushed out agency executives, refused to approve allotted budgets, and refused to renew visas for foreign employees.
Further reading: “Deleted Biden video sets off a crisis at Voice of America,” Politico.
Pack suggested the staff he fired and foreign journalists he essentially kicked out may have been foreign spies, without offering any evidence to support his claim. A group of 14 senior VOA journalists are openly disputing his explanation:
“Mr. Pack has made a thin excuse that his actions are meant to protect national security, but just as was the case with the McCarthy ‘Red Scare,’ which targeted VOA and other government organizations in the mid-1950s, there has not been a single demonstrable case of any individual working for VOA — as the USAGM CEO puts it — ‘posing as a spy,’ ” they wrote.
The White House is searching for a replacement for Federal Trade Commission Chair Joe Simons, a Republican who has publicly resisted President Donald Trump’s efforts to crack down on social media companies. Simons, a veteran antitrust lawyer, cannot legally be removed by the president except in cases of gross negligence. But the White House has already interviewed at least one candidate for the post.

Richard Grenell, formerly the highest-ranking out gay official in the Trump administration, has joined a law firm founded by Pat Robertson that has a history of opposing LGBTQ+ rights. Grenell also recently joined the Republican National Committee to do outreach to LGBTQ+ voters. The Trump administration has quietly named a new acting State Department inspector general. Matthew Klimow, the U.S. ambassador to Turkmenistan since mid-2019, is the third acting IG since Trump and Pompeo ousted Senate-confirmed IG Steve Linick in May. Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s current special envoy to Northern Ireland, former Chief of Staff, and former acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, is starting a hedge fund focused on financial services regulation. Ethics experts say Mulvaney explicitly using his knowledge of CFPB to place bets for and against companies gives him an unfair and perhaps illegal advantage.
Court and DOJ matters
Court cases The Trump administration must, for now, stop winding down in-person counting efforts for the 2020 census, a federal judge in California ordered. The three-judge panel hearing a challenge to Trump’s new anti-immigrant census policy seemed hostile to the government’s arguments in a hearing last week. A federal judge has stopped the Trump administration from enforcing a rule change that would let health care providers deny medical services to LGBTQ patients on the grounds of religion. Justice Department Federal prosecutors are preparing to charge longtime GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy in connection with efforts to influence the U.S. government on behalf of foreign interests. Broidy helped raise millions for Donald Trump’s election and the Republican Party. Barr ordered another round of changes to FISA rules, tightening the use of government surveillance on political candidates or their staffers — a move conservatives will likely cheer, as they have long criticized how the FBI investigated the Trump campaign in 2016.
Before conducting physical searches or wiretaps of a federal election official, members of the official's staff, candidates for federal office, or their staff or advisers, the FBI must now consider giving them a "defensive briefing," to tell them that they could be the target of foreign influence.
I decided to read the OpIndia Report on the Delhi Riots and sacrifice my brain cells to this malevolent community. (Part 1 of many)
(This is the first in a series on a potentially brain-damaging rundown on the OpIndia "report" on the Delhi Riots).
A Preface to the Idiocy that lies ahead
The barbaric bigoted fearmongers of the chaddi shit rag that is OpIndia had generated quite the buzz for their "350 page report on the Delhi Riots 2020." A chaddi on twitter went insofar as to hail it as the first time he has seen, in 30-35 years, "a right winger do a systematic study of a riot, and expose the culprits." The Amazon reviews pick up the baton of showering praise from their ideologically incestuous brethren over at Twitter. "It's an detailed and we'll researched reading. Must read for truth" (sic), reads the top review. Scroll past all the praise-showering and you will eventually stumble upon a one-star review from a disgruntled individual; a sort of vindication for the pitiable person for having spent Rs. 101 "on this propoganda piece by some fake news peddlers" (sic). Run the Amazon link through ReviewMeta, and you begin to see the first of the many oh-so-beautiful cracks and the cesspool of worms that lie beneath this tomb of the Sanatani's Manufacturing Consent. 513 reviews (86% of the total) were created in just two days, with the average ratings on both days being 4.9 and 4.8, about as organic as a hormone-infused McSpicy Chicken. 370 of the 598 reviews were from unverified purchases (no surprises here, lest a large majority of the saffroncels have become aware that piracy is also useful for things outside of video games and porno).
Prologue: begging bowls, shitty flowcharts, and twitter-tier dog-whistling
The appeal (AKA plz giu our daddies monies)
The not-a-journalist editor of OpIndia (Nupur J Sharma) slaps the reader, right off the bat, with an attack on the Muslim community at large (the "peacefuls" remark, an oft-used dog-whistle by brain-dead chaddis on the internet).
Recent years have brought to fore the nefarious intents of certain sections of the society, whom we shall refer to as ‘peacefuls’. In the name of spreading ‘peace’ and ‘harmony’, they undertake some of the most evil acts, the most recent (at the time of writing this appeal) of which were the Delhi riots of 2020.
I shall respect the authors' modus operandi by emulating it; henceforth I shall address OpIndia and anyone affiliated with it as 💩💩💩OpIndia💩💩💩.
The Flowcharts
💩💩💩OpIndia💩💩💩's amateur flowcharts give the impression that a paranoid schizo is locked in their office's basement; walls littered with mind-maps linking anything to just about everything. Flowchart 1, Flowchart 2, and Flowchart 3 gRaPHiC DeSigN Is mY PasSiON.
The 💩💩💩"Editor's"💩💩💩 Note
The 💩💩💩"Editor"💩💩💩 concocts a "foundational promise" of the Republic of India: the CAA was the fulfillment of the "sacred oath" of the "initial leaders of the Republic". Who these leaders are, no one knows. Sure as hell not the ones that banned the RSS for playing a role in Gandhi's assassination (the chaddi 's appropriated poster-boy Sardar Patel had ironically heralded this decision). I'm just going to leave this here. SelfAwareWolves ain't got shit on this
...the cycle of fake news, blatant lies, misrepresentations, fear-mongering and carnage that was unleashed against Hindus...
Moving on, the 💩💩💩"Editor"💩💩💩 makes the ye olde assumption that Islam is one single, homogeneous religion with absolutely noooo sects, differences in practices, and even fissures in it. This is such that it snugly fits their black-and-white narrative that all Islam is radical Islam. The reality, quite obviously, is far from it. Most terror activities across the globe proliferated under the label of "Islam" are by Deoband, Salafi, and Wahhabi ideologues, and are often more violent and oppressive to the other Muslim minoritiesin their respective "Islamic" countries than they are to other nations. The attacks on Muslims by the radical Hindutva would surely usurp the numbers on 'Radical Islamic Terrorism'. It also doesn't help that "terrorism" has no concrete definition. But never mind that, nOt aLL MuSLimS ArE TerROrIsTS BuT All tErRoRisTs aRE MUSliM. The 💩💩💩"Editor"💩💩💩 proceeds to christen his note by making the same ol' diarrheatic khichdi of ideologies, coalescing the "Left" and the "Islamists". This shtick is getting boring 💩💩💩OpIndia💩💩💩, at least try to put in some effort for a change. The 💩💩💩"Editor"💩💩💩 then brings up something about "the Gandhian dystopia", probably referring to Gandhi's "dystopia" of trying to prevent the partition of India and Pakistan.The "Left's" objection is then put forth: "why are Muslims being left out when all others are being given the chance to become Indian citizens." Well, they aren't all too wrong on this front I suppose. Nevertheless, their refutations are just about delusional as the aforementioned schizo locked in their basement.
...the majority population of those nations. Muslims, in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh belong to the majority religion and thus, CAA could not have included Muslims of Islamic nations.
Yet again, treating the Islamic community as a whole as a singular Homogeneous entity without any rifts and conflicts among each other (cough Shia, Sunnis, Sufis, Rohingyas cough).The 💩💩💩"Editor"💩💩💩 pulls yet another straw-man, claiming that the "Left" and the "Islamists" were telling the Hindus that the exclusion of Muslims in the CAA would alienate Indian Muslims. No one worth their salt has made such claims. At least, not on the CAA. The NRC, on the other hand... They also put the onus of condemnation on Indian Muslims for atrocities committed by extremists in other "Islamic" countries, that this is imperative in "bridging the deficit of trust... due to the lack of acknowledgement of such basic truths". Youtuber Shaun has a great response to this loaded allegation
...India has no legal obligation to accept international refugees...
Offered without comment.
The Executive Summary (basically the only thing you should read in this "report", should you choose to kill some of your brain cells)
The rich ancient civilization of India that was ravaged by Islamic invasion and the religion-based partition left deep scars in the very soul of the nation, leaving the indigenous Hindu population of the country bruised and battered.
😭😭😭 MUZZ MUZZ MUGALS BABURR DESTROY AWAR ANCHIENT DHARMIC CIVILIJATION 😭😭😭 The 💩💩💩 author 💩💩💩 then tries to prop up the concept of Ummah, as if to establish that every Islamic nation would accept every Muslim as they "belong to the same theological ‘country’ regardless of political borders". To put it simply, Ummah is a non-existent wet dream concocted by the likes of Zakir Naik and the folks at MEMRI TV; a fantasy similar to the Chaddis' Akhand Bharat. They then lay out the violence that played out on the 15th of December, 2019, with more remorse and tears shed over the buses that burnt, and propounding the debunked claim that chants of "Hinduon se Azadi" were raised in the very area. They proudly proclaim how the Delhi Police stormed the Jamia Milia University campus "to flush out the miscreants", conveniently eliminating the fact that ABVP goons had attacked the protesters, while the police watched. All that lathi-charging and tear-gassing in the University's library and women being molested was the bloody right thing to do to those gosh-darned "miscreants", wasn't it? I am NOT going to talk about the "road block" in Shaheen Bagh. Read this if you really care about the commute time of a champagne-sipping Delhiite in his BMW, who would be enraged by thought of the slightest of a traffic delay anyway.
...a minor had opened fire at the anti-CAA protests in Jamia...
He emphasized that they would not listen to anyone if the Anti-CAA rioters do not shift and clear the roads within the given time
Everyone knows about the shit storm that Kapil Mishra brewed. Even lizard man Zuckerberg. Who would want to forget the junior Finance Minister's eloquent saying "desh ke gaddaron ko..." you know the rest.
A great deal of property has been damaged across the national capital.
😭😭😭 MUH BUSSES 😭😭😭 On the issue of the statement made by a Ladeeda Sakhaloon, sure what she said was gravely controversial making calls for jihad and whatnot (allegedly, I don't know the truth of this matter in its entirety). But to that, I raise you a Kapil Mishra. As for Sharjeel Imam, well, he's yet another controversial figure who has said some things on par with the Saffron cadre's rhetoric, but bringing up his personal views on Jinnah plays no role in his alleged sowing the "seeds of chaos". What the 💩💩💩 author 💩💩💩 fails to understand is that such grassroots movements do not require the gaze of a megalomaniac or their STREANH. They're grassroots movements with a more or less absent hierarchy or an immaculately orchestrated order.
Petrol bombs, sacks full of brick pieces, stones, acid packs and even catapults to hurl the stones have been spotted at AAP Councilor Tahir Hussain’s rooftop.
I'll just leave this here. There is enough to establish that the Delhi Police had colluded with the radical Hindutva extremists. Any instance of the Delhi Police being brought up as a substantive source of evidence, without any secondary evidential buttressing, is a moot point. An addendum: The 💩💩💩 author 💩💩💩 decides to throw in a Tywin Lannister (yes, the Game of Thrones character) quote in a "report" on the Delhi Riots, and then expects to be taken seriously. Kek.
The CAA Straw-man
I'm not going to explain and elaborate on what the CAA or the NRC is here. Look it up, you lazy shits. I shall proceed to answer their 'FAQs' on the CAA though, for shits and giggles.
Does the CAA affect any Indian citizen?
No. But the NRC does.
Who does the CAA apply to?
Everyone who isn't a Muslim. Any Muslim from any sect, because "Ummah", Shia-Sunni bhai bhai :)
How does it benefit Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Parsi and Christian foreigners hailing from these three countries?
Quick as fuck citizenship, owing to their identity as persecuted migrants.
Does this mean that Muslims from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan can never get Indian citizenship?
Theoretically, no. But, the 💩💩💩 author 💩💩💩 considers all Muslims to be one, and ignores the minority crises of other Muslim sects in these countries, and is hedging her bets on "Ummah".
Will illegal Muslim immigrants from these three countries be deported under the CAA?
No, but the NRC might.
Can Hindus facing persecution on grounds of religion in countries other than these 3 countries apply under the CAA?
No. Ro chindu ro. Only if time travel were possible, then the CAA would have rescued the Hindus from Islamic 'genocide' by the Mughals... and the Rajcucks.
Does the CAA also cover other forms of persecution – on grounds of race, gender, membership of a political or social group, language, ethnicity etc.?
No. Only Dharma important in New India.
The CAA will gradually exclude Indian Muslims from the citizenship of India?
No. But the NRC might.
CAA will be followed by NRC and all migrants except Muslims will be given citizenship and Muslims will be sent to detention camps?
Who the fuck knows. I'd be amazed if Amit Shah does.
Why shouldn’t Baluchis, Ahmadiyya in Pakistan, Rohingyas in Myanmar not be considered for this kindness?
"Ummah"
Doesn’t India have an obligation under the UN to take care of refugees?
No it does not. Kudos to the 💩💩💩 author 💩💩💩 for getting at least something right.
Will illegal Muslims immigrants from these three countries be automatically deported under this Law?
Through the NRC, yes. Just a reminder, CAA is not the same as the NRC.
Does the CAA affect Indians (Hindus, Muslims, anyone)?
No. But the NRC might.
What about Sri Lankan Tamils?
Abandoned and forgotten. Nobody cares about them as there isn't any milk left in that political teat.
Why only these three countries? And why only religious persecution of above-notified denominations?
Because the mentioned religions are in the minority in the neighbouring Muslims countries, and as we all know, Islam has absolutely noooo divisions or sects or variations in practice, and some of them aren't a minority themselves in these 'Muslim-majority' countries
Does this mean that Muslims from these 3 countries can never get Indian citizenship?
They can. But they would not have the fast-tracked benefits that the other persecuted faiths have. But the 💩💩💩 author 💩💩💩, once again makes the assumption that Islam is one big, homogeneous entity. For fuck's sake 💩💩💩 Nupur 💩💩💩, read up a bit on contemporary Islam, will you?
the CAA applies to the religious minorities of only three countries: Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. If a Hindu is found to be non-citizen after the NRC procedure is completed, he or she will have to prove that he indeed came from one of the three countries in order to benefit from the CAA. And that is practically impossible. So, in essence, the Hindu will be in the same boat as the Muslim non-citizen.
The 💩💩💩 author 💩💩💩 is saying that a Hindu and Muslim "non-citizen" are on the same boat, despite having literally mentioned a few paragraphs before this that "persecuted minorities" will have a fast-tracked citizenship process. It takes a great amount of skill to contradict yourself in the span of a few paragraphs.
Shias, Ahmadiyya and Rohingya Muslims are Muslims; they are all adherents of the Islamic faith. They only belong to different sects within Islam. Thus, the provisions of a law that is dedicated towards providing relief to victims of religious persecution can, naturally, not apply to the said Islamic sects.
Shia-Sunni-Sufi-Rohingya-Salafi-Deobandi... (you get the gist) bhai bhai right, 💩💩💩 Nupurji 💩💩💩? cue Ummah orgasm sounds
The Harish Salve verbal diarrhea
The 💩💩💩 author 💩💩💩 brings up an interview with Harish Salve by Rahul "WhatsApp Forward" Shivshankar. I'm not going to refute Salve's claims. You can read this refutation by another lawyer though. Nevertheless, here are some of the highlights:
Answering Shivshankar’s question on whether specifying Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians is discriminatory against Muslims, Salve explained that the laws of equality do not mean having the same law for lions and lambs.
...since the CAB has ‘religious persecution’ as the basis and is aiding those who are being religiously persecuted (the minorities in the specified Islamic countries) then the community which belongs to the majority religion in these countries cannot claim ‘religious persecution’.
...Salve stated that the countries specified in the CAB have their own state religion and Islamic rules. He added that Islamic majority nations identify their people as per who follows Islam and who does not.
For argument’s sake, Salve stated, if immigration or naturalization facilities are provided to the Rohingyas, it can also be argued that why people from African nations are not being included.
Muslim Nations often persecute certain sections of the Muslim community (and Ahmadiyyas are Muslims) because they claim that certain sects are not following the ‘true’ version of Islam. Hindus, cannot be held responsible for the internal troubles of the Muslim world. That is something that the Muslim world needs to reform to tackle all on its own.
India has risen like a phoenix from the ashes of the funeral pyres of 1947.
A caveat: That last quote probably wasn't said by Salve, it is an insertion by 💩💩💩 Nupurji 💩💩💩, I presume. Still better than that Lannister quote I guess. That's it for part 1, folks. Part 2 will be posted whenever I fucking feel like it (tbh mostly in a week or so)
The Coronavirus Bill will be introduced to the House of Commons today. The Bill sets out various powers that the Government can introduce at any time. The legislation is time-limited for two years. According to the Government, it will do the following:
Health and social care
Remove barriers so that recently retired NHS staff and social workers can return to work, along with students near the end of their training

COVID-19
Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new illness which features flu-like symptoms and currently has no vaccine. The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the current outbreak of the virus as a pandemic on 11th March. The UK Govt's action plan sets out the UK's response to the pandemic. There are several "phases" to the plan, with the UK currently in the delay phase:
The "contain" phase: detect early cases, follow up close contacts, and prevent the disease spreading for as long as possible
The "delay" phase: slow the spread of the disease, which could include closing schools and cancelling public events
The "research" phase: work to develop effective care for the disease
The "mitigate" phase: minimise the impact of the disease on society
Current Government advice/approach
As of 16th March
To minimise your chance of catching the illness, wash your hands frequently for a duration of 20 seconds.
If you or someone in your family has a new persistent cough or high temperature:
If you live alone: self-isolate for 7 days.
If you live in a shared household (e.g. with friends, family etc.): you should all self-isolate for 14 days (even if not everyone develops symptoms).
If you don't have symptoms or no-one in your household has symptoms, stop non-essential contact with others and stop unnecessary travel. Work from home. Avoid pubs, clubs, theatres, etc.
Those with the most serious health conditions should be shielded from contact with others for around 12 weeks
From tomorrow, 17th March, emergency workers will no longer support mass gatherings "like they normally do"
If you suspect that you are infected with coronavirus, you should first use the NHS online service. Only call 111 if the service advises you to. Do not visit your GP as you risk infecting others.

Hi, I apologise for using a throwaway account, but I was looking for some confidential advise.. I'm currently based in Asia and I've been offered an opportunity with a partner to build a new business (food related) in Europe. The bulk of the business is to bet set-up in the United Kingdom (mostly big cities of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool) and gradually spread to other parts of the EU. Now I've been offered the option to either have the UK as a home base for the business or the Isle of Man. Not just for tax reasons, but I'd really like to choose the Isle of Man as a base/HQ. However, my concern is primarily on two fronts.. - My work will make me spend over 180 days a year in the UK for setting up and building business. I'm worried this might upset both IoM authorities and UK Tax authorities. - My wife wants our son to study at a school near London and therefore we'll have a second home there where she and my son will primarily spend their time (and of course, I'll spend enough time there too). This further aggravates my concern on upsetting the IoM and UK Tax authorities. Is this plan feasible? Is it practical to be based (legally and technically) in the Isle of Man while having an extensive UK life? Or is it best to send my son to an IoM school (I will still be in the UK more than 180 days a year to develop business). On a related note.. my wife and I are big-city folk. Would Isle of Man seem too small for what we're used to?
Hi This is something more of a curiosity. In the UK we can trade Forex using spread betting so any gains are totally tax free. However, lets say for some reason you were using a different method. Maybe you were using a broker in another country, or trading Forex using a CFD account. What asset is Forex categorised under for Capital Gains Tax (CGT)? Looking at the government CGT website, it includes shares as being subject to CGT but not Forex, it does also state that selling coins is subject to it. However, Forex is neither shares nor coins; coins being physical objects. And just thinking of this as I type, it also states that CGT is paid on assets. It's arguable though that currency isn't an asset but merely a tool used to purchase assets. After all, there is the often used distinction of people being "cash rich" or "asset rich". Doesn't it blur the line between the distinction of money and assets if you have to pay a tax which is meant to be applied to an increase in value of an asset itself rather than means of exchange? I'm sure there's plenty of legal rulings on this, and this sub will be quite biased on the subject (shouldn't be taxed). Wondering on peoples thoughts on the later. Having a few showerthoughts this morning.

Online gambling legislation and regulation. Starting your own gambling product.
Mobile gambling If you plan to develop an app with the ability to deposit and withdraw real money, then such a product automatically falls into the category of gambling and you will need to license your business for successful operation. Mobile and Web Based Apps So let’s talk about the different kinds of online gambling apps available on web and mobile. We’ll be covering both free-play gaming apps and real money casino app games you can find for iOS, Android devices and web browsers. Mobile gambling is more common for poker, casino, bingo, and skill games. They have advantages in terms of a low barrier to enter the market, instant liquidity, product knowledge, and marketing expertise, minimal infrastructure costs, and the ability to bring a brand to the market quickly. Consequently, this form of gambling does not sit neatly with jurisdictional boundaries. Multiple gambling opportunities are available, including betting on various events and markets, in a relatively simple format. Gambling products can also be integrated into betting on television shows or virtual racing and sports games as well as offering lotteries, bingo, poker and casino games. Most Popular Gambling Apps Sports betting, casino, poker and lotteries are the most popular forms of online gambling. However, other forms are available too. These include the following: Bingo, slot machines, different card games, roulette and other game of chance. One of the best things about online gambling and betting apps is the number of choices you have.
Sports Betting
Betting means making or accepting a bet on the outcome of a race, competition, or other event or process, the likelihood of anything occurring or not occurring, or whether anything is or is not true. Today most sports betting is done via mobile-friendly sites and apps.
Today most sports betting is done via mobile-friendly sites and apps.
The introduction of live betting for sports like soccer and tennis means that bettors who are sitting inside stadiums watching games can now pick up their mobile devices and find real-time betting value with the best sports gambling apps. This has really unlocked a door to the future of sports gambling and the popularity of online gambling apps.
Poker
Many sites offer free poker, where no real money is wagered, although in some cases players can accumulate credits that can be exchanged for prizes. This is the case why people are going to play for real money. There is an ongoing debate over whether poker should be classified as a game of chance or skill. The parameters of legal poker playing are still unclear and differ between jurisdictions. Since you are not gambling with money, I’m pretty sure under the law it’s just a video game for now.
Blackjack
Blackjack is the game of choice to many high-rollers and do you know why? Because blackjack is a challenging, logic and skill-based game where your thinking, strategy, and calculations determine the outcome of the game.
Bingo
Bingo is one of the most popular and socially accepted games in the world. Bingo is a traditional form of gambling that has seen considerable innovation in recent years. It is also the only form of gambling recognized in the Gambling Act that does not have a specific statutory definition, the Act providing simply that “bingo” means “any version of that game, irrespective of by what name it is described”. Bingo must be played as an equal chance game. For game to be classed as “bingo” it must meet the Act’s definition of “equal chance gaming” (as opposed to casino gaming). Thus, it: must not involve playing or staking against a bank, and must be a game in which the chances are equally favorable to all participants in the sense that each ticket or chance has the same probability of success as any other. Licensed bingo is a well-regulated and socially responsible form of gambling that takes place in a safe environment. Many sites offer multiple forms of bingo with different features, types of games, and costs of play. These sites often cater specifically for women and some research suggests that they may appeal to markets who would not typically engage in traditional forms of gambling.
Slots
Slot machine is one of the most beloved game among the gambling community and it has been a part of the industry for a long time. They provide fun and entertainment and their simplicity allows gamers to start playing at once. This can play out in different ways depending on the machine you’re playing. For instance, there’s Pick a Fortune, a five-reel, 20 line game that puts players right in the studio of a television game show, including the potential to play a Deal or No Deal-style bonus round. A super trend over the past few years is mobile-friendly slot games. These apps and websites were developed to enable players to enjoy their favorite games on their smartphones at any time. Another dominant slot trend is licensed branded slots that are based on popular movies, television, and musicians. Virtual Money vs Real Money Let’s find out the difference between social gambling and real money gambling, as well as the differences between gambling through apps and gambling through a web browser. It can be quite confusing trawling through all the casinos, slots, and lotteries available, both through your mobile web browser as well as through mobile app stores, in the form of downloadable apps.
Virtual money
The main difference between virtual money and real money gambling is that the in-game virtual currency in social games and gambling-type games is used only like credits that are not paid out as winnings or anything given to player in cash, making these games exempt from gambling regulations.
Virtual money is loaded on user game accounts via in-app purchases in mobile applications or the game balance funding from a card via web based applications.
Real money gambling
Real money gambling via your mobile device is only allowed in countries where laws have been passed that allow for this type of gambling online, or there are no laws in place that prevent it. The payment systems are the legal way of services payment in the gambling app, performing as the intermediary between the gambling facility and the client. With their help, users replenish deposits and withdraw funds to personal accounts in financial institutions. If the application uses the payment system of a well-known brand, that gives players additional confidence in the resource. Nowadays, there is a wide range of payment systems, some of which operate all over the world, other systems are oriented towards the citizens of one or several countries. A number of services accept money of different world currencies, while others allow currency transactions of one state only. What is an Online Gambling Licensing The internet has a global audience, there’s no single piece of legislation that covers the legality of online gambling for the entire world. Mobile gambling doesn’t typically accept customers from every single country in the world. It often focuses on certain specific regions.
Instead, most countries have their own local laws that deal with the relevant legal and regulatory issues.
Ultimately, questions of legality all go back to the location of the casino or where the website operates out of. In closed regulatory systems, such as Italy, France, and the Netherlands, licenses, and advertising rights are limited to domestic providers, which must be located within their country’s geographical boundaries and these are only permitted to offer some types of products. Some jurisdictions, for example, Norway, Sweden, and Canada legalize and regulate online gambling, but this is limited to a single site that is owned by the government. Under such an approach, the government becomes the operator and regulator and all revenues are returned to the government. Remote gambling is generally permitted. That means that an operator that is licensed may provide gambling services to citizens in the country via all forms of remote communication (and using equipment that may be located in the country or abroad). Equally, a remote operator may be licensed to offer gambling services to citizens in any jurisdiction in the world using equipment located in the country. The law provides that, for each type of gambling (betting, gaming, and participating in a lottery), there will be two forms of license available: remote and non-remote forms (land-based). If you provide facilities for remote gambling, online or through other means, and advertise to consumers you will need a license from the licensing jurisdictions or local licensing authorities. Before an online gambling site signs up its first customer, before it accepts its first bet before the first card is dealt, it must be licensed by a recognized governmental entity.
Certain regions in the world have specific legislation in place that allows them to license and regulate companies that operate online gambling sites or provide industry services (such as the supply of gaming software). These regions are referred to as online gambling jurisdictions or licensing jurisdictions.
Depending on what type of entertainment you are going to implement in your internet establishment, you will have to apply for the corresponding permissions. Online gambling laws in Europe vary from one country to the next. The industry is well regulated in some countries and less so in others. There are several online gambling jurisdictions located in Europe. Some of these are members of the European Union (EU), and thus subject to the various rules and regulations of that body, while others are independent. Each of these jurisdictions has an authority that’s responsible for approving gambling sites for licenses that enable them to offer their services legally. They also regulate their licensees. Countries that Provide Gambling Licensing Today there are lots of licensing jurisdictions located all over the world and offering different terms for their customers. Depending on the country, licenses can be local, international (distributed in several countries), have a different set of documents for registration, costs of registration and further support, various operating conditions and other special details.
Which gambling license is both internationally recognized?
The government of Ireland offers casino operators, software, and service providers in the gambling industry, with a gambling license that allows gambling operators to conduct business related to casino, lotto, and other gaming-related activities. Ireland Gambling License is one of the most popular license for online casinos worldwide. Ireland has long been recognized as one of the preferred locations for Online Gambling operators to base their operations. This success has been due to a combination of factors, such as a progressive legislative system, political stability, first-rate telecommunications facilities, and a well established financial services industry. A wide range of gambling sites operates out of Ireland including sports betting, casino sites, poker, bingo, and more. In stark contrast, the UK is the largest regulated market for online gambling in the world, and corporations are already comfortable exploiting the intersections of gambling and gaming, betting in-play, social gaming, Bitcoin, financial trading and spread betting, betting exchanges, e-sports and, most profitably, mobile gambling. 40% and 60% of online gambling in the UK took place in Gibraltar.
International licensing
Europe is home to the following online gambling jurisdictions: Alderney, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Malta. Malta is currently the country that is most accommodating to gambling companies, and the license offers whitelisted online gambling in sports and casino games in many European territories. But takes an extreme amount of time in paperwork and background checks. Also, you pay 5% of all your gross profit to the EU.
Among countries offering gambling licensing services, the attention should be paid to Curaçao jurisdiction, which is considered to be one of the most promising for the online gaming business.
Curaçao Internet Gaming Association (also known as Curaçao eGaming) is both a regulator and a licensor, and its licensing works worldwide except Curaçao itself, USA, France and Netherlands. Using Curacao as an example, let us examine in detail the process of obtaining a license, the necessary documents and expenses. How to get a License on Curaçao
Documents necessary for company registration:
criminal record;
passport scans;
bank account confirmation;
documents proving payments for utility services.
After the company is registered, an operator can apply for the license providing the following documents:
a document certifying the right of domain possession;
description of games planned to be used in the project;
a list indicating countries of potential operation;
illustration of server locations to be used in the project;
a copy of the agreement with a software provider.
Gambling license cost:
Bank account opening $1000
Company registration $3600
Company management per year $3600
Application processing fee $1000
License fee per year $4800
Equipment/software fee starting from $1500
Server maintenance per year $6000
Apart from that pay for technical support and maintenance every year. The entire license issuing process takes between 2-4 weeks. Curacao Internet Gaming Association (CIGA) also has the power to review a license and, if it finds that an operator has breached a license condition, has the power to impose a range of sanctions including revocation of the license. Apple and Google Gambling Rules You’ll be surprised at the limited number of real money gambling app options available on the AppStore and Google Play Store. Most real money casino gaming is done through gambler’s mobile web browsers and not through mobile gambling apps that you’ll find for iPhone and Android phones. Apple allows online gambling applications in a few forms, and not just in places where it is explicitly permitted. They do not allow any payments through the applications – those have to be done on the websites. Apple has far stricter developer guidelines for iOS apps than Google does for Android apps, so it’s fine to assume that whatever you choose to download from iTunes is usually safe, secure, and meets a certain standard.
Any real money casino in the iTunes app is required to have proper licensing and permissions before Apple will approve the app for use or downloads. While Google Play is technically regulated, it is much more loose in what can be hosted.
Apple Store
Gambling, gaming, and lotteries can be tricky to manage and tend to be one of the most-regulated offerings on the App Store. Apple has rules for apps that support real money wagering, including sports betting and poker. Those apps and lotteries must have necessary licensing and permissions in the locations where the App is used, must be geo-restricted to those locations, and must be free on the App Store, and Apple rate even simulated gambling apps as appropriate only for users 17-years-old and up.
Play Store
Google keeps the reigns tight. To be able to successfully upload apps to the Google Play store, developers need to have a valid license for the specific countries they are targeting and comply with their regulations. The app must be free to download and must prevent under-age users from gambling in the app. As a final precaution, all gambling apps are required to display prominent information regarding responsible gambling practices. This brings its policy in line with the Apple App Store. Countries where gambling is illegal It is also important to remember that while gambling is growing rapidly in many places, in others it is totally or partially prohibited. As well as in the majority of the US, sports betting is illegal in India, Pakistan, and China, three of the largest gambling markets in the world. Most countries have rules against gambling. Almost all Islamic countries prohibit gambling of every kind, but many turn a blind eye to online gambling or simply do not have regulations in place for this grey area. In the United Arab Emirates, however, any kind of gambling is prosecuted. National lotteries are the only legal forms of wagering on the Asian country’s mainland. Cambodia, North Korea strictly forbids online and offline gambling amongst its own citizens but allows tourists to participate in these activities. Qatar is the strictest country of all when it comes to gambling laws. All forms of gambling activities are considered illegal, and even sports betting is not permissible. Starting your own gambling product Numerous online casino platforms in the market offer fantastic casino games like bingo, poker, roulette, and many more.

So keep in mind that ALL of these numbers are minimums. These all represent the number of false rape accusations made to the police that provably false using rigorous standards. And while it may be small, the 2-10% is actually 2-11%. They round that 2.3% number down to 2% so it's only fair to round the 10.9% up to 11%. You can either say 2.3%-10.9% or you can say 2-11%. It's a small thing but it irks me. But all of these numbers are minimums. Just like when 3-5% of cases end up with convictions. That means a minimum of 3-5% of rape cases taken to the police are true. A MINIMUM. This three minute youtube sums it up very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8zSDvaYrRw&list=LLIiza3uxnPBzZKoXthGOenQ&index=9&t=0s
If you check the link it takes you to Rainn. The 1 in 6 women will be rape in their lifetime comes from where? I checked the footnote. Oh it's from... National Institute of Justice & Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Prevalence, Incidence and Consequences of Violence Against Women Survey This is the precursor to the CDC NISVS survey. Guess what the CDC NISVS survey also found? It found that for years of 2010-2012 female-perpetrated "made to penetrate" sexual assault on men, (rape, for lack of a better word,) was at parity with male perpetrated rape for these years. Let that sink in for a minute. When you are done letting that sink in, ask yourself why a sub called menslib is not mentioning that in 2012 there were over 1.5 million instances of female-on-male rapes according to the CDC NISVS survey in 2012? (Although they don't call it that, but prefer the more awkward, "made to penetrate" sexual assault) ' This links to the CDC NISVS survey data so you can check for yourself. The lifetime stats are much lower than the year over year and despite my inquiries to the CDC I have not gotten an answer as for why that is. However, for each year of 2010, 2011, and 2012 we find parity between the sexes for sexual assault/rape perpetration. Look at the 12 month data. This blog does a very good job of breaking this down: https://recalculatingthegenderwar.tumblr.com/post/162336650896/new-cdc-data-again-finds-as-many-if-not-more
Only a 1/3rd of sexual assaults are reported to police. So at its 2-10% of 33% This statistic covers if or not an accusation is false, wither or not a specific suspect is named which I will show below is a more interesting stat. The majority of false rape accusations are made against non existent strangers the victims claim they don't know.
This is a nice rabbit pulled out of the hat. Why are we assuming that all of the sexual assaults not reported to the police are true? I for one have been the collateral damage victim of a false/baseless rape accusation made on social media. Ostensibly, rape accusations that are not taken to the police and are merely posted on Twitter, Facebook, or added a circulating anonymous rapist list, or made at a bar, or something... are MORE likely to be false. Not less. Yet this author would have you believe that they are all 100% true. Magic! Of course there are many rapes that happen that are never taken to the police. For example, the 1,5 million incidents of female on male "made to penetrate" rape that I mentioned above. Almost none of these are reported. Less than 1 percent. These male victims of female perpetrators are hidden by systemic cultural bias.
Nevermind the fact in 1996 the FBI backtested over 25,000 rapekits and found that 1 in 4 excluded the primary suspect, in almost all cases, as fingered by the primary witness/alleged victim. https://www.ncjrs.gov/txtfiles/dnaevid.txt Conducted in June 1995, the nationwide telephone survey of 40 public and private laboratories that performed DNA tests sought answers to such questions as: From the time the laboratories began DNA testing, how many cases have they handled? Of that number, what percentage yielded results that excluded defendants as sources of the DNA evidence or were inconclusive? The 40 surveyed laboratories yielded 19 whose available data were sufficient for the purposes of this study. The 19 included 13 at the State/local level, 4 in the private sector, an armed forces laboratory, and the FBI's laboratory. Most of the laboratories had initiated DNA testing only within the previous few years. Twelve began testing between 1990 and 1992. Three of the four private laboratories began in 1986 or 1987, while the FBI started DNA testing in 1988. Seven of the laboratories reported using RFLP testing; four, PCR testing; and eight, both types of tests. The 19 laboratories reported that, since they began testing, they had received evidence in 21,621 cases for DNA analysis, with the FBI accounting for 10,060 cases. Three of the 4 private laboratories averaged 2,400 each; the State and local laboratories averaged 331 each. In about 23 percent of the 21,621 cases, DNA test results excluded suspects, according to respondents. An additional 16 percent of the cases, approximately, yielded inconclusive results, often because the test samples had deteriorated or were too small. Inconclusive results aside, test results in the balance of the cases did not exclude the suspect. The FBI reported that, in the 10,060 cases it received, DNA testing results were about 20 percent inconclusive and 20 percent exclusion; the other 18 laboratories (11,561 cases) reported about 13 percent and 26 percent, respectively.\* Unfortunately, the laboratories were unable to provide more details. They did not maintain data bases that would permit categorization of DNA test results by type of offense and other criteria. What happened to the suspects who were excluded through DNA testing also cannot be determined. Were they released, or were they charged on the basis of other evidence, for example? Thus, only the most general information is known about the results of DNA testing by laboratories. To obtain more detailed information would require a comprehensive research project. That's hard forensic data that puts the ballpark figure of false rape accusation at about 1 in 4. Now to be fair, some of these may have been genuine mistaken identity. But if you are the man under arrest by the police accused of rape, you would call that a false rape accusation.
Fact is that the majority of false rape accusations don't even name a suspect. And throwing this into the picture of the total of the numbers of rape really proves how rare false rape Convictions are. Vast majority of false rape accusers always accuse a non existent stranger who raped them and usually not someone specifically. Which means that beyond wasting time and resources majority of false rape accusations are harmless to the general public because no one person is accused. When you take these studies and add them to what we already know about rape a more complete picture forms: 1/6 women claim to have experience sexual assault, follow by a 1/3 reporting the assault to police, then worst case scenario 1/10 are false. Out of those false rape accusations 9/50 name a suspect, out of false rape accusations that accuse someone 15/100 get an arrest and, out of those who are arrested for a rape they didn't do only 1/3 have charges placed against them.
This is so wrong as to be a lie. Remember, according to Dr. Lisak's metastudy, a minimum of 2-11 percent of all rape accusations taken to the police are PROVEN to be false.
So 1/6 x 1/3 x 1/10 x 9/50 x 15/100 x 1/3 = 0.00005 Which mean out of all the women you meet you have a 0.005% chance of being falsely charged of Rape.
A blood vessel in my frontal lobe just exploded. I can't even begin to understand what the heck he is doing with the numbers here. Can anyone help me out with this. Like I have a headache just from trying.
This link is dead. But let's look at a couple other studies that look at the number of people openly admitting to committing rape. Hogben, Byrne & Hamburger (1996) Lifetime prevalence of 24% for women having made a man engage in sexual activity against his will https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J056v08n01_05 Sexually Aggressive Women Anderson, Struckman-Johnson 1999 – 43% of college women admitted to using verbal or physical pressure to obtain sex (No ebook available. I've ordered a print copy in the mail but it won't arrive for another week.) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6245084/ I'm just saying, there is one half of the equation being left out here. It is likely the smaller half. But why are we still pretending in 2019 like it doesn't happen? It happens all the time. Go check out teacherswhorape for a daily update of female pedophiles.
Producing an alibi: a false allegation is used to cover up other behaviour, such as being late or absent to an appointment.
Revenge: to retaliate against a disliked person by damaging the reputation, freedom or finances.
Attention: an attempt to receive any kind of attention, positive or negative, by anyone.
Sympathy: a special kind of attention-seeking whereby the complainant tries to improve a personal relationship with a specific individual.
'A disturbed mental state'; this may include false memories ("sexual hallucinations") or pathologic lying.
Relabeling: consensual sex is relabeled 'rape' to the police, because of its 'disappointing or shameful character'. De Zutter et al. argue that a distinction should be made between some acts during a consensual sexual encounter that a participant did not want or had no desire to engage in but nonetheless gave consent to (e.g. to please their partner) on the one hand, and rape (nonconsensual sex) on the other, but that many lay people and even some scholars do not make this distinction and confuse the two. It is often when accounts of such 'unwanted consensual sex' are told to friends and family that the latter interpret it as rape, and put the complainant under pressure to file an allegation.
Regret: after having had consensual sex, a complainant experiences negative feelings such as disgust, shame, and sorrow; when others notice this and ask about the source of these negative feelings, they are prone to view the encounter as rape and put the complainant under pressure to file an allegation.
'Don't know'
According to De Zutter et al. (2017), 20% of complainants said that they did not know why they had filed a false allegation.[8] While we are at it, wikipedia also lists false memories as a reason for a false rape accusation.
There are several ways in which an alleged victim can accidentally come to believe that they have been raped by the person(s) they accuse. These include, but are not limited to:[7]
The victim's confusion of the memory of the real rapist with the memory of someone else
Memory conformity: memory can become contaminated when co-witnesses discuss their recall of events
Let's not forget that in the UK, "alleged" rape victims are paid in cash regardless of whether the accused is found guilty or not. Jemma Beale collected 11,000 pounds before being caught. That's a hell of a side gig. falsely accused nine men of raping her on separate occasions, while a further six had supposedly sexually assaulted her. https://thewarrzone.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-hard-lessons-of-jemma-beale.html She is unique in that she is one of the rare false rape accusers to be prosecuted.
Why didn't you include those other "Studies"? Since I am from the future I know this will be bring up sooo I will nip it in the butt before it shows up in the comments. And if they still show up without talking about this section of my effort post you have my permission to shame them.
Small thing, but the saying is "nip in the bud." Like a plant. Shame is how feminism works, right? They shame people into submission. Like #metoo. If you stand up to a false rape accusation they shame you as a RAPE APOLOGIST.
People who fear the False Accusation "Epidemic" that is supposedly happening like to point to the "other studies" on these issues. What are these other "studies" and why don't I use them in my analysts? Well because they are bad. Flat out bad or rely on a misconception of the nature of sexual assault. And there are alot of them. Lets take sample out of the list Wikipedia provided.
I would say the same argument could be flipped on the new definitions of rape coming our of Academic feminism.
Then if you look at other higher studies like Kanin and Jordan you figure out that they are working on the police definitions of False or Not. Unfortunately that means that they consider a story false if the victim: Failed a Polygraph Click here if you wanna know why the Polygraph is ^^^bullshit If the victim delayed reporting their rape If the victim was "Intellectually Impaired" If the victim has signs of mental illness If the victim was intoxicated If the victim withdraw the complaint And if the victim was determined by police to be a "Slut"
There are criticism to make of Kanin. Small sample size, sure. Undisclosed location, also iffy. But according to Kanin, the police only classified an accusation as false if the alleged victim confessed to it being false AND they were able to corroborate the new story with the defendant and other witnesses. It did involve a serious, but not mandatory, offer of a polygraph test. But the offer of the polygraph test was merely a catalyst. An accusation was on classified as false if the alleged victim herself recanted. In 41% of the cases, the alleged victim did so. There are legitimate concerns about this study I listed above. But the author has told another lie. No accusation was regarded as false at any time because of a failed polygraph or for any of the above listed reasons. I'll have to read the Jordan study because the author definitely lied about Kanin so I can assume he probably lied about Jordan as well. In fact, I completely distrust this guy. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01541619
While false complaints do occur, approximately three-quarters of the incidents concluded by the police to be false appeared to have been judged to some extent at least on the basis of stereotypes regarding the complainant’s behavior, attitude, demeanor or possible motive. Suspicious file comments were made by the detectives regarding a woman who laughed while being interviewed, others who were seen as ‘attention seeking,’ and some who were said to be ‘crying rape’ for revenge or guilt motives.
Attention seeking, Revenge, and guilt are all common and legitimate motivation for a false rape accusation according to self confessed accounts accumulated by De Zutter 2017. See above.
The police deal with the shittiest people of society all day every day. You are allowed to be skeptical of the police. You are not allowed to completely write them off. I call bullshit. It might not be as high as 75% but it's high. In the UK false rape accusations are so common that police now demand that "alleged" victims hand over their phones when making an accusation that can check to see if they texted the accused the following morning something like, "Thank you for the great sex last night."
Though most rational people don't see this as such a major issues within far conservatism and the Manosphere you tend to see false accusations be pushed as the major issue against men. In fact I decided to do my own study where I went to MenRights typed it "Rape" and look at the 102 top posts by menrights on the subject. I only accepted posts of two categories, male victims of sexual assault and stories on false rape accusations. As expected MenRights had more posts about false rape then male victims of rape.
Stop kidding yourself. False rape accusations are a HUGE concern for men. Innocence is no defense against a rape accusation. Your life, your reputation, your friends, you family, your career, your honor, your legacy are all permanently and irrevocably damaged by a false rape accusation. It's shameful.
As you can see despite the fact that men are 1 in 33 in odds of being raped, that 1 in 10 rape victims are male, and as stated before only 0.005% of rape accusations lead to a man being arrested as stated above. MRAs post more about and care more about false rape accusations then male victims of sexual assault. Why is that? Why do we even talk about false rape so much if its more rare than males being raped? I get a suspicion that plenty who champion this cause are arguing disingenuously.
Interesting that he mentions a man being arrested but how come so few women are arrest for rape even though there are multiple studies going back to the 1980s indicating it's massively underreported. False Rape accusations are not RARE. They are AT LEAST 2-11 percent of all rape accusations taken to the police. I'd bet that number is much higher since the #metoo movement when every single sociopathic liar KNOWS that they will be #believed. Oftentimes in spite of evidence. False Accusations are rampant enough that only segregation can solve it
Choose one. Adopt a #Believewomen policy and eliminated due process for men in the workplace. Or demand that women be hired at equal rates as men.
False Rape Accusers should get same length sentence as Rapists This is a common cry for those within the MRA movement is that these false accusers are getting off to easy. That they ruin countless men lives and only get slap of the wrists. But that shows a great error in their thinking is the trust that the criminal justice system gives just punishments to rapists in the first place. If we are going to punish false accusers the same way that we do punish rapists then false accusers should get: 10 Years of probation 3 Months of Jail 5 Years of probation
That of course doesn't count the countless who have sexually assaulted and get away with it. If MRAs called for this guideline I can't help to feel they would be even more disappointed in the sentencing expecting 20 years but IRL only getting a few months. If we treated false rape accusers the same as rapists then we as a society wouldn't take them that seriously.
For both men and for women. Countless women who have sexually assaulted and gotten away with it.
Also I want to quickly address the other MRAs call for those who have been falsely accused to be placed on the Sex Offender Registry Lists. Uuuuuuuhhh What?!? This is improper use of such a list number 1, and 2 that publicly available list would then create a public list of people you can rape without repercussions. Think about it. If you publicly branded people as "False Rape Accuser" then which people would rapists target?
I'm actually opposed to the Sex Offender Registry Lists as they currently stand in our country. Female Pedophiles are very often offered a plea deal to stay off the registry.
Putting extra laws and punishments on this mush smaller issue of False Rape Accusations put more pressure on legitimate victims of sexual assault. Under the existing law there are cases of legit victims being classified by police as false victims. If you add additional punishment then we will punish legitimate victims of rape 20 years in prison for just reporting their rape and police not believing in them. And that will have a chilling effect on the rest of victims of sexual assault out there. Its hard enough as is, but if you are unable to prove it and you "act like a slut" then you could face jail time
That's why MenRights and Reddit as a whole under reports on male victims of rape. Because admitting that rape of men is a common thing only helps prove that rape in general is a very common affair and that the 1 in 6 statistic was right the whole time. That Rape is a real problem in western society and forces them to stop ignoring it.
Multiple written lies have been told by the author of this post. When it was first posted, a great many redditors pointed out how poorly his math was put together. Instead of changing or editing his post, he merely deleted the comments. That is called suppression of the truth and it makes you a bad person. No one is denying that rape is a serious issue. The good news is that according to the BOJ, rape, along with other violent crimes has been dropping steadily since the 1960s. In 2012 the number pivoted because for the first time in USA history, the FBI legally acknowledged that men can be raped. Unfortunately it has been worded such that female on male "made to penetrate" sexual assault is still not rape. Women can only rape men if they anally penetrate them. We still have a long way to go for true gender equality. So remember this TL;DR when you think about False Rape Accusations.
TL;DR For both genders you are way more likely to be raped then falsely accused of rape.
Nobody actually knows how likely you are to be falsely accused of rape. At a minimum, 2-11 percent of rape accusations made to the police are false. Probably the number is closer to 1 in 4 due to hard forensic evidence of backtested rapekits that excluded the primary suspect, (as fingered by the alleged victim,) 23% of the time. But we don't really know. It's probably safe to say that you are more at risk of being false accused of rape in 2019 than at any other time in human history because of the public demonstrations of #believewomen. Many still believe Ford's accusations against Kavanugh despite being thoroughly discredited by Leland Keyser. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/just-didnt-make-any-sense-leland-keyser-now-challenges-story-of-kavanaugh-accuser-christine-blasey-ford " I don’t have any confidence in the story,” Keyser toldNew York Timesreporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly "Those facts together I don't recollect, and it just didn't make any sense," Keyser told the authors. "It would be impossible for me to be the only girl at a get-together with three guys, have her leave, and then not figure out how she's getting home," Keyser told Pogrebin and Kelly. "I just really didn't have confidence in the story." A few daysbefore the hearing, Keyser’s attorney said, “Simply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford.” "Keyser later said she felt pressure by both [Ford classmate Lucy] Gonella and Ford's friend Monica McLean to change her story," Pogrebin and Kelly wrote. "I was told behind the scenes that certain things could spread about me if I didn't comply," Keyser told the authors. #metoo has already been politically weaponized. This is ridiculous. WE are being gaslighted. This is bullshit.
The estimated number of false rape accusations are around 2-10% at the highest.
This is a lie on several levels. It's 2-11%. And that is a minimum. And that's if you only consider surveys conducted by feminists or women's advocates.
For 216 False Rape Accusations only 39 named suspects, and only 2 got charged. That means that only 18% of False Rape Accusations actually accuse someone and that only 0.9% of false rape accusations ended up on court.
I'm pretty sure this stat is referring to how many false rape accusers got charged. So now you are just making up numbers. You are either lying or grossly mistaken.
Vast majority of false rape accusations are made by Teenagers, Parents of Children, and the Homeless.
There's no way to know this. And there is also no citation.
55% of False Rape Accusations are in hopes of getting free medical treatment. Next major category is from teenagers justifying their absences to parents.
Did I miss the source for this. Why are you ignoring De Zutter (2017)? tl;dr #metoo is a puritanical, sexist witchhunt that strips men of due process while refusing to hold women to the same standards, as per Asia Argento, Katy Perry, and Amber Heard. It's is a moral panic. Much like McCarthyism we will look back on #metoo with a deep sense of shame for vigilante mob justice conducted in the name of false rape accsusations.
