FBI helps to educate public on line separating hate crimes from protected free speech | CBS 4 – Indianapolis News, Weather, Traffic and Sports | ||

FBI concerned with the line between protected free speech and hate crimes
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Central Indiana is not immune to hate crimes. In fact, 21-year-old Nolan Brewer is in federal prison for the next three years for attacking a Carmel synagogue in July of 2018.
The line between a hate crime and protected free speech is one the Federal Bureau of Investigation is concerned with. Supervisory Special Agent Brian Monahan is in charge of the Indianapolis Division of Public Corruption and Civil Rights. He helped the FBI Citizens Academy understand the difference between a hate crime and free speech protected by our First Amendment.
“The violence or the threat of those violence is what removes these activities, these statements, from protective First Amendment,” Monahan said.
Brewer made hate crime personal to central Indiana when he and his wife, a minor, targeted the Congregation Shaarey Tefilla, a Jewish Synagogue in Carmel. The FBI said Brewer confessed he and his wife targeted the house of worship.
“That symbology at that location, to that community, we recognize as the FBI, and our Department of Justice understand, that that is a hate crime. That is a crime that is motivated by bias and that represents threatening behavior,” Monahan explained.
The aftermath of Brewers’ attack on the synagogue was clear for everyone to see, through spray-painted iron crosses and swastikas. Monahan said these symbols “bring back images and thoughts of the holocaust and the mass extermination that happened.”
The FBI said a hate crime can involve bias against a person of group based on race, religion or gender identity just to name a few. But under the First Amendment, people do have the right to say what they want so long as it is not followed by violence or threat of violence.
“We cannot investigate a case based purely on protected First Amendment speech,” Monahan explained. “It violates the constitution which we’ve sworn to uphold.”

Trump, who praised the mob in 2013 on David Letterman, has a habit of seeing the good in those deemed beyond the pale
Is Donald Trump behaving like a mafia boss? Adam Schiff, the Democratic chair of the House intelligence committee, thinks so.
Schiff said the way Trump leaned on Ukraine, seeking dirt on political rival Joe Biden was a “classic, mafia-like shakedown”. Many others have made the same comparison.

Impeachment: CIA’s 2.0 Coup – Sri Lanka Guardian | ||
Wed, 02 Oct 2019 04:02:01 -0400
You don’t need to be a supporter of President Trump to be concerned about the efforts to remove him from office. Last week House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced impeachment proceedings against the President over a phone call made to the President of Ukraine. According to the White House record of the call, the President asked his Ukrainian counterpart to look into whether there is any evidence of Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 election and then mentioned that a lot of people were talking about how former US Vice President Joe Biden stopped the prosecution of his son who was under investigation for corruption in Ukraine.
Democrats, who spent more than two years convinced that “Russiagate” would enable them to remove Trump from office only to have their hopes dashed by the Mueller Report, now believe they have their smoking gun in this phone call.
It this about politics? Yes. But there may be more to it than that.
It may appear that the Democratic Party, furious over Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss, is the driving force behind this ongoing attempt to remove Donald Trump from office, but at every turn we see the fingerprints of the CIA and its allies in the US deep state.
In August 2016, a former acting director of the CIA, Mike Morell, wrote an extraordinary article in the New York Times accusing Donald Trump of being an “agent of the Russian Federation.” Morell was clearly using his intelligence career as a way of bolstering his claim that Trump was a Russian spy – after all, the CIA should know such a thing! But the claim was a lie.
Former CIA director John Brennan accused President Trump of “treason” and of “being in the pocket of Putin” for meeting with the Russian president in Helsinki and accepting his word that Russia did not meddle in the US election. To this day there has yet to be any evidence presented that the Russian government did interfere. Brennan openly called on “patriotic” Republicans to act against this “traitor.”
Brennan and his deep state counterparts James Comey at the FBI and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper launched an operation, using what we now know is the fake Steele dossier, to spy on the Trump presidential campaign and even attempt to entrap Trump campaign employees.
Notice a pattern here?
Now we hear that the latest trigger for impeachment is a CIA officer assigned to the White House who filed a “whistleblower” complaint against the president over something he heard from someone else that the president said in the Ukraine phone call.
Shockingly, according to multiple press reports the rules for CIA whistleblowing were recently changed, dropping the requirement that the whistleblower have direct, first-hand knowledge of the wrongdoing. Just before this complaint was filed, the rule-change allowed hearsay or second-hand information to be accepted. That seems strange.
As it turns out, the CIA “whistleblower” lurking around the White House got the important things wrong, as there was no quid pro quo discussed and there was no actual request to investigate Biden or his son.
The Democrats have suddenly come out in praise of whistleblowers – well not exactly. Pelosi still wants to prosecute actual whistleblower Ed Snowden. But she’s singing the praises of this fake CIA “whistleblower.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer once warned Trump that if “you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.” It’s hard not to ask whether this is a genuine impeachment effort…or a CIA coup!

What’s The History Behind U.S. Relations With Ukraine? – WCCO | ||
Wed, 02 Oct 2019 03:53:05 -0400
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — For the past week and half, Ukraine has been all over the airwaves. The eastern European county has become the center of an American political scandal.
So what is the country’s history? And, why is Ukraine so important to the U.S.? Good Questions.
Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe, behind Russia. Its history dates back centuries, marked by war, famine, invasions and deportations.
“It’s suffered from bad governance and also by domination by Russia and divisions within the country,” says Mary Curtain, diplomat-in-residence at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs.
Ukraine was part of the former USSR, but it’s been independent of Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea, a peninsula on the northern coast of the Black Sea. Since then, there’s been fighting in the eastern part of Ukraine.
“There’s been this undeclared war between Ukraine and Russia,” says Curtain.
The U.S. has been giving Ukraine financial assistance and military training for years. Curtain believes there are two main reasons Ukraine has been so closely connected with the U.S. The first has to do with geography. Ukraine is situated between the east and west, and the U.S. wants to support a strong democracy there.
“There’s this concept that if Russia can get away with what it’s done in Ukraine, then it poses a threat to our allies who are in NATO,” says Curtain.
The second issue has to do with corruption. Curtain points to a number of Americans who’ve been brought in to Ukrainian companies, like Hunter Biden, the target of President Trump’s unproven accusations, and Paul Manafort, who was sent to prison for financial crimes.
“There is the problem of corruption which has made what could otherwise be an already difficult political situation murkier and invited the controversy we’re seeing right now,” Curtain says.
Curtain says the U.S.’ political problems aren’t what Ukraine needs right now, but rather the country needs to work on its own good governance and good investment. She points out there are several human rights and anti-corruption nonprofit organizations currently working in the country.
“Hopefully, the United States can be part of the solution, not simply treat Ukraine as part of our domestic political controversies,” she says.

Vatican police raid top offices, take documents | ||
Tue, 01 Oct 2019 12:53:07 -0400
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Vatican police raided the offices of the Holy See’s Secretariat of State and its Financial Information Authority (AIF) on Tuesday and took away documents and electronic devices, a statement said.
The operation is highly unusual because the Secretariat of State is the nerve center of the Vatican bureaucracy and diplomacy, and the AIF is the financial controller of all Vatican departments.
The Vatican statement gave no details except to say that the operation was a follow-up to complaints filed in the summer by the Vatican bank and the Office of the Auditor General and related to “financial operations carried out over the course of time”.
A senior Vatican source said he believed the operation, which the statement said had been authorized by Vatican prosecutors, had to do with real estate transactions.
The statement said superiors of the departments had been informed of the operation.
