Israeli Media Reports Claim Huge Explosion Occurred at Iranian Oil Pipeline

At the beginning of July, an explosion occurred at the country’s Natanz nuclear facility, which an anonymous Middle Eastern intelligence official blamed on Israel. In an interview with The New York Times, the man claimed that Tel Aviv had planted a powerful bomb at the site.

A powerful explosion has occurred at an oil pipeline in Iran's Khuzestan province, Israeli media reported. Footage of a huge blaze was posted on social media. However, there has been no confirmation from Iranian officials of the incident.

The development comes two days after a US official told CNN that there were indications that Tehran had placed portions of its air defence system on "high alert" following explosions that occurred at the Natanz nuclear facility on 2 July and a blast at the Parchin military complex on 26 June. Iranian officials said that the two explosions did not result in significant damages, with the nuclear reactor at Natanz continuing to operate as usual, and noted that no people were injured in the incidents.

Iran has said that it has determined the cause of the blast at Natanz and that it would be announced "at a proper time", with the Islamic Republic indirectly pointing the blame at Israel and the United States.

Oregon’s Justice Department Sues Federal Agencies over Protest Enforcement

Oregon’s Justice Department is suing multiple federal agencies for civil rights abuses, and state prosecutors are looking to file criminal charges against an officer who seriously wounded a protester.

The lawsuit names the U.S. Marshals Service, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Federal Protective Service as agencies that have used force against protesters since early July.

The state filed the suit on Friday.

U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman Kristina Edmunson told OPB that the lawsuit would accuse the agencies of taking part “in unlawful law enforcement in violation of the civil rights of Oregon citizens by seizing and detaining them without probable cause.”

State attorneys would request that a judge issue a temporary restraining order, which “would immediately stop federal authorities from unlawfully detaining Oregonians,” the DOJ said in a release.

The state’s Justice Department said that its Criminal Justice Division has also opened a criminal investigation into the case of Donavan LaBella, a peaceful protester shot in the head last Saturday, Edmunson said. He suffered facial and skull fractures from the incident.

All munitions are supposed to be aimed below the waist.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Oregon is also filing a lawsuit against the federal agencies that were sent into Portland to arrest or use physical force against protesters, journalists, or legal observers, KGW reported.

Senate Democrats Propose $350 Billion Reparations Measure to ‘Address Systemic Racism’

Senate Democrats are proposing a $350 billion measure designed specifically to “address systemic racism and historic underinvestment in communities of color,” via the Economic Justice Act, which they announced on Thursday.

Democrats view the measure as an “important down-payment to answer the calls to address systemic racism and historic underinvestment in communities of color.”

The act, unveiled on Thursday, effectively acts as a reparations proposal, with Democrats proposing to “immediately” help minority communities with a $135 billion investment in “child care, mental health and primary care, and jobs.” The remaining $215 billion would be used to address inequality in the long term, devoting the investment to “infrastructure, a homeowner down payment tax credit, Medicaid expansion, and more.” The act lists ten initiatives to “reverse decades of underinvestment” in the communities.

Proposals include reducing rent and utilities “to 30% of income for low-income individuals and families and build new low-income rental properties,” and providing “$15,000 per family to expand access to homeownership” for minority families, specifically.

It also calls for requiring “a greater share of federal community and economic development funding” to go to communities with “‘persistent’ and high poverty rates and create opportunities in federally funded infrastructure projects for local hiring in communities of color and contracts for disadvantaged businesses,” although Democrats consider those”no-cost” policy changes.

“For far too long, Congress has underfunded critical priorities like public health, child care, infrastructure, and job creation in these communities,” the proposal’s summary reads.

“Our new plan would make a historic federal commitment to communities of color through ten major investments over the next five years,” it adds.

While the act is estimated to cost $350 billion, Democrats believe they can effectively offset the cost by “re-programming $200 billion of unspent funds” from the $2.2 trillion CARES Act:

Federal underinvestment in communities of color has created systemic disparities that cross nearly every sector. These communities now bear a disproportionately severe burden of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic recession. But at the same time, Wall Street investors and billionaires continue to rake in profits. The Senate Democrats’ new Economic Justice Act would seek to partially offset the cost of the proposal by re-programming $200 billion of unspent funds from the CARES Act – the so-called Title IV Funds, laid out in Section 4003- that were previously provided to the Department of Treasury to facilitate corporate lending by the Federal Reserve.

Alec Baldwin Claims Trump Planning to Use Armed Force to ‘Stop the Election in November’

Actor Alec Baldwin is pushing a wild conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump could use armed force to stop the election in November. The Hollywood star is basing his unfounded claim on the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to deploy federal agents in Portland, Oregon, to subdue violent rioters following weeks of urban chaos.

“The ‘police’ activity in Portland, and lack of outrage over/resistance to it tells us how Trump could stop the election in November. It’s his only hope,” Alec Baldwin wrote.

The “police” activity in Portland, and lack of outrage over/resistance to it tells us how Trump could stop the election in November.

It’s his only hope.

— HABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) July 18, 2020

Alec Baldwin more forcefully pushed his theory in a separate tweet claiming that a military intervention is “Trump’s election strategy.” The actor pointed to an Esquire article by left-wing, anti-Trump pundit Charles P. Pierce who wrote that the federal crackdown in Portland could be a “dress rehearsal” for November.

Celebrity siblings Patricia and Rosanna Arquette added to the hysteria by claiming that federal agents are the “secret police,” using “Gestapo” tactics. Their inflammatory rhetoric is similar to that of House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who referred to law enforcement as “stormtroopers.”

Trump is turning America into a true shithole country. Where Americans are being hunted by secret police who are tossing US citizens into rented vans and refusing to identify themselves. https://t.co/mKT9FrU0Ki

DHS officers moved to subdue rioters in Portland after the the head of the Department of Homeland Security visited the Oregon city and called the demonstrators “violent anarchists.”

Despite widespread claims that the protestors were “peaceful,” DHS acting secretary Chad Wolf confirmed that officers were “assaulted with lasers and frozen water bottles from violent criminals attempting to tear down federal property. 2 officers were injured.”

Let’s get this right. “Protestors” imply they were peacefully exercising their 1st amendment rights. Instead, DHS officers were assaulted with lasers and frozen water bottles from violent criminals attempting to tear down federal property. 2 officers were injured. Facts matter. https://t.co/U2CdAT0c9G

— Acting Secretary Chad Wolf (@DHS_Wolf) July 17, 2020

The department’s tactics were called into question after a video showed a suspect being taken into custody in an unmarked vehicle. DHS said that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents had information that the individual was suspected of assaulting agents or destroying property.

The agents were also facing a large mob of people and made the decision to take the suspect into the car as a precautionary measure, according to the DHS.

Some media reports also complained that agents weren’t wearing identifying clothing, but the DHS disputes this.

“The CBP agents identified themselves and were wearing CBP insignia during the encounter,” the department said in a statement. “The names of the agents were not displayed due to recent doxing incidents against law enforcement personnel who serve and protect our country.”

Portland has experienced weeks of violent protests and rioting since the death of George Floyd in May. Mayor Ted Wheeler has attempted to blame the chaos on President Trump and has refused federal agents in the city despite the spiraling violence.

Declassified: Christopher Steele's "Primary Sub-Source" Was His Own Employee; NYT Russiagate Propaganda Shredded By Strzok Comments

FBI documents declassified by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) reveal that Christopher Steele's "primary sub-source" for his infamous Clinton/DNC-funded dossier was a 'non-Russian employee of Christopher Steele's firm.'

Per Graham's office:

The document reveals that the primary “source” of Steele’s election reporting was not some well-connected current or former Russian official, but a non-Russian based contract employee of Christopher Steele’s firm. Moreover, it demonstrates that the information that Steele’s primary source provided him was second and third-hand information and rumor at best.

Critically, the document shows that Steele’s “Primary Sub-source” disagreed with and was surprised by how information he gave Steele was then conveyed by Steele in the Steele dossier.

Meanwhile, a second document released by Graham absolutely shreds a New York Times article authored by Michael Schmidt, Mark Mazzetti, and Matt Apuzzo. Journalist Sharyl Attkisson details how comments made by former FBI agent Peter Strzok revealed the article, entitled "Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contact With Russian Intelligence," was absolute propaganda.

New French Prime Minister Opposes Internet Anonymity, Compares Social Networks to Vichy France

Newly-appointed French prime minister Jean Castex has made it clear that he is no fan of anonymity on the Internet, claiming that it distorts political debates online.

Prime Minister Castex labelled anonymity as “something shocking” and went on to say: “You can call someone all kinds of names, accuse them of all kinds of vices, by hiding behind pseudonyms. In these conditions, social networks are the Vichy regime: nobody knows who it is!”

He went on to hint, during an interview with Le Parisien, that he would be working on counteracting anonymity online, saying: “I am for freedom of expression, but if we hide, the conditions of the debate are distorted. This is a subject that we will have to take up.”

Castex said he would like to see “a little” regulation for social media, but claimed that such policy was not a top priority, claiming that unemployment and economic recovery in the wake of the Wuhan coronavirus were his chief concerns.

Macron: France Could Ban Hate Speech Convicts From All Social Media For Life https://t.co/un58vANKpd

— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) February 23, 2019

French president Emmanuel Macron has been clear in the past that he would like to see more regulation of social media, particularly when it comes to so-called hate speech online.

Last year, Macron even floated the idea that those convicted of hate speech crimes could be banned from using social media networks permanently, comparing such a move to banning football hooligans from football matches.

Former Secretary of State for Digital Affairs Mounir Mahjoubi said that social media companies could comply with bans by revealing user details.

“It is no longer acceptable today that platforms that have the means to help justice and the police to identify the person who has committed an offence online take several weeks, even months, before giving the information,” he said.

In July of last year, the French parliament passed legislation that forces social media companies to remove hate speech posts within 24 hours or face large fines.

Biden/Sanders Unity Agenda: Fundamental Transformation of the Criminal Justice System

This summary is the second in a series of deep dives into the Biden/Sanders Unity Platform. The policies advocated in this 110-page document certainly support the contention of MoveOn that Biden offers the most progressive policy agenda in history.

Criminal justice task force

My eye has finally stopped twitching after taking a deep dive into the platform for climate change. So now I will tackle the one for criminal justice so you don’t have to. The Unity Task Force team members on this topic are:

Chiraag Bains, Director of Legal Strategies at Demos and Fellow at the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans

Co-chair Rep. Bobby Scott – Virginia District 3

Co-chair TN State Sen. Raumesh Akbari

SC State Rep. Justin Bamberg

Vanita Gupta – President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil & Human Rights

Former Attorney General Eric Holder – AKA Barack Obama’s Wingman

Symone Sanders – Activist and Senior Advisor to the Biden Campaign

Stacey Walker – Iowa Campaign Director for Bernie Sanders

“Reimagining” Criminal Justice

In the summary, found on pages 7-10 on the Unity Platform, the team talks about mass incarceration as if the First Step Act never happened. Of course, they also note racial disparities in imprisonment and imply this is a function of racism. In the current environment, police brutality earned an entire paragraph:

Democrats believe we need to overhaul the criminal justice system from top to bottom. Police brutality is a stain on the soul of our nation. It is unacceptable that millions of people in our country have good reason to fear they may lose their lives in a routine traffic stop, or while standing on a street corner, or while playing with a toy in a public park. It is unacceptable that Black parents must have “the talk” with their children, to try to protect them from the very police officers who are supposed to be sworn to protect and serve them. It is unacceptable that more than 1,000 people, a quarter of them Black, are killed by police every year. Democrats also recognize that all too often, systematic cuts to public services have left police officers on the front lines of responding to social challenges for which they have not been trained, from homelessness to mental health crises to the opioid epidemic. We can and must do better for our communities.

So, a fundamental transformation in criminal justice is coming if the top-to-bottom overhaul is to be believed. “Reimagining” criminal justice to root out systemic racism is also a primary goal.

Biden/Sanders Unity Platform: Climate ‘Justice’, Big Government, and Buckets of Borrowed Cash

Restorative justice

To begin to address what the Task Force sees as systemic racism, the team recommends reissuing the Obama-era DOE guidelines that called for racially equitable discipline. This program monitored how many students are disciplined by race and explained differences as racial disparities. Differences in behavior were not accounted for.

The Rand Corporation studied these policies, often referred to as restorative justice. These studies demonstrated restorative justice programs harmed academic performance in predominantly black schools. They widened the academic achievement gap in the schools studied.

Overall, the negative impact on academic outcomes was not large. The average student in the study district scored at the 37th percentile of the state distribution; restorative practices would reduce this to the 35th percentile. However, the negative impact was almost completely experienced by students in schools with predominantly African-American students, increasing the district’s racial achievement gap from 15 to 18 percentile points.

Two US cities declare racism a public health emergency

'Systemic racism is a principal social determinant of individual and public health'

Two U.S. cities have declared that racism is a public health emergency, including Minneapolis, which is where George Floyd died while being arrested. On Friday, the Minneapolis City Council approved a resolution that declares racism a public emergency, nearly two months after it was first introduced.

The resolution states that "racism in all its forms causes persistent discrimination and disparate outcomes in many areas of life, including housing, education, health, employment, public safety and criminal justice; exacerbated further by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis."

"The City of Minneapolis will recognize the severe impact of racism on the well-being of residents and city overall and allocate funding, staff, and additional resources to actively engage in racial equity in order to name, reverse, and repair the harm done to BIPOC in this City," the resolution states.

The Minneapolis resolution promises to:

"Center the voices, work, and leadership of the communities most directly affected by said racism."

"Provide support to the Racial Equity Community Advisory Committee to conduct and implement an internal evaluation of the City Charter as well as all City policies and procedures to prioritize racial equity with specification on how policies translate into anti-racist action towards City employees, constituents, and community members."

"Address our criminal justice system to stop the profiling and harm done to BIPOC."

"Decentralize BIPOC over-policing and criminalization."

"Allocate dollars in the Mayor's budget to be directed towards small business development, housing, community-based infrastructure, and other amenities to reverse and repair the harm experienced by BIPOC."

"Increase the availability of high-quality youth development programming for BIPOC youth and young adults with inclusion of a strategic plan to improve program quality and evaluate the impact and reach."

"Develop and implement an annual report with racially disaggregated data on the health of Minneapolis BIPOC."

"Build a workplace culture that promotes racialized repair, cross-cultural relationships, upholds the sacredness of caucus spaces for building community, and shifts the burden of addressing racism off BIPOC."

The resolution also aims to decrease incarcerations by reserving arrests only for violent and major crimes, as well as dismiss cash bail.

The resolution adds: "A multitude of studies connect racism to inequitable health outcomes for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), including cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, high infant and maternal mortality rates demonstrating that racism is the root cause of social determinants of health."

The resolution also states that "the City of Minneapolis recognizes that Africans were forcibly brought to this country, enslaved, and after the Emancipation of Slavery, citizens of this country perpetuated Anti-Black racism through violence, mass incarceration and Anti-Black policies, including redlining, and that the social construction of race was used to justify their enslavement as well as the removal of Indigenous peoples off their land pushing them onto land deemed less desirable."

The resolution notes that "the City of Minneapolis recognizes the City is built upon Dakota homelands, and that Indigenous nations have lived upon this land since time immemorial, and the land itself carries historical trauma, and that genocidal policies have aimed to strip tribal nations not only of land, but of culture, language and family systems."

Jalisco New Generation Cartel Shows Mexican President Who's Boss

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador visited the states of Guanajuato, Jalisco, and Colima on Friday and received a rather unusual greeting from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which considers those provinces their territory.

Needless to say, you have to wonder just who is in charge in this part of Mexico.

Reuters:

In the two-minute clip, members of the fearsome Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) stand in fatigues alongside a seemingly endless procession of armored vehicles.

“Only Mencho’s people,” members of the cartel shout, pumping their fists and flashing their long guns. The cry was a salute to their leader, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera, one of the country’s most-wanted drug lords.

The video’s release coincided with Lopez Obrador’s visit to the states of Guanajuato, Jalisco and Colima, some of the cartel’s strongholds.

“They are sending a clear message… that they basically rule Mexico, not Lopez Obrador,” said Mike Vigil, a former chief of international operations for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Lopez Obrador already knows this because it was he who handed the country over to the cartels.

Unlike his predecessors, Lopez Obrador has taken a less confrontational approach on security, preferring to attack what he describes as root causes like poverty and youth joblessness, via social spending.

But the strategy, branded by Lopez Obrador as one of “hugs, not bullets,” has emboldened criminal groups, many security analysts say.

The president’s approach “has only led these cartels to operate with more impunity,” Vigil said.

The cartels in Mexico may be poorly educated and grow up in the worst sort of poverty. But they have the guns and most ordinary people in Mexico don’t, although that’s changing slowly. What they have more than guns is money — money that they spread around liberally to police and local officials to make sure their business enterprise prospers.

Lopez Obrador is one of those earnest liberals who actually believe you can fight crime by addressing the “root causes” of it. In this case, the root cause is a fatal weakness from the president and his government that allows the cartels to trample on his authority with impunity.

Lopez Obrador’s strategy of coddling the cartels hasn’t worked so well. Last year, a record number of 35,000 murders occurred in Mexico, most of them the result of cartel violence.

Last year, U.S. DEA agents, along with the Mexican army, tried to arrest a family member of a prominent leader in the Sinaloa cartel. The Sinaloas easily beat back the army and surrounded them. Only the intervention of a negotiator saved the army unit from destruction.

The Federalist:

The ensuing scene could have been mistaken for Syria or Yemen. Footage posted on social media showed burning vehicles spewing black smoke, heavily armed gunmen blocking roads, dead bodies strewn in the streets, and residents fleeing for cover amid high‐​caliber gunfire.

Armed with military‐​grade weapons and driving custom‐​built armored vehicles, cartel henchmen targeted security forces throughout Culiacan, launching more than one dozen separate attacks on Mexican security forces. They captured and held hostage eight soldiers, then kidnapped their families. Amid the fighting, an unknown number of inmates escaped from a nearby prison. At least eight people were killed and more than a dozen were injured.

Lopez Obrador is in a civil war and doesn’t even know it — or pretends not to. The bodies keep piling up and the president continues to virtually ignore it. The cartels are almost as well equipped as the nation’s military.

Perhaps Lopez Obrador could invite the cartels to negotiate an end to the violence. He can carve up his country into autonomous states where the cartels would be free to operate. Maybe they can solve the problems of poverty and hunger.

They certainly can’t do any worse.

“Keep That Bitch Alive!” – Protesters Gather Outside Ghislaine Maxwell’s Prison, Chanting, “No Justice, No Peace, Fk Those Ped*phile Elites!”

A group of protesters gathered outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday for a protest calling on prison officials to keep Epstein pimp Ghislaine Maxwell alive.

Maxwell was moved to the facility from New Hampshire in early July.

The protesters were chanting:

** “Keep that Bitch Alive!”

** “We want names”

* “No justice, no peace, fck the pedophile elites!”

The Russian Bot posted photos and video on Instagram.

So we were a small group of about 12.. but we had great reactions of passers-by even by federal workers and police. We certainly stirred up the inmates who were yelling to us and saying thank you and banging on the glass. If Ghislaine couldnt hear us from the inside she certainly heard the commotion of every inmate. And if the inmates heard us so did every worker in there. Our chants were “keep that bitch alive” “we want names” “no justice, no peace, fk those pedophile elites” and more. This was the first but it wont be the last. Thanks to those who came! And thanks to @_thesilencedmajority and @sampicardi for getting it started! Also to @educatingliberals for posting

DOJ Spox: We Expect Durham Report by End of Summer

Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said this week that a report by U.S. Attorney John Durham on the corrupt Trump-Russia collusion hoax investigations by the FBI and DOJ is expected to be ready by the end of summer. However Kupec would not promise a release date of the report–not even before the November election–nor did she say what the report may find. Kupec noted the goal of the Durham probe is a criminal investigation and not a report.

Kupec made the comments in an interview with Bill Hemmer on the Fox News Channel on Wednesday. Other topics covered in the interview were Operation Legend helping Kansas City, Missouri with a violent crime surge that killed 4-year-old LeGend Taliferro as he slept last month, the insurrection in Portland, Oregon and the Trump administration’s campaign against the malign influence of communist China on the U.S.

emmer: “John Durham, when will there be news on that?”

Kupec: “Well, we hope to see a report by the end of the summer. Obviously, this is a criminal investigation. The goal is not a report, it’s a criminal investigation. But certainly there is a story to be told there. The American people deserve resolution and frankly justice deserves resolution…”

Hemmer: “Okay but you say…”

Kupec: “…Justice needs to be restored. And that report I think is going to be really pivotal to uh, the restoration of that one-tiered system of justice.

Hemmer: “By the end of the…”

Kupec: “…People need to see what was going on.”

Hemmer: “I apologize about…”

Kupec: “Sure.”

Hemmer: “…I’m short on time. You say by the end of the summer? Is that a guarantee?”

Kupec: “Hope to, uh, there are no guarantees in life but we certainly hope to see one by the end of the summer. I think it’s important.”

Hemmer: “Can you, can you guarantee pre-election, Kerri”

Kupec: “Uh, Bill, I will just tell you this: We are hopeful and we expect to see a report by the end of the summer.”

Hemmer: “Thanks for coming on today. Kerri Kupec, thank you. A lot of topics, a lot to motor through. Thank you for coming here today.”

FUCK THE DOJ CORRUPT

Subpoenaed Illinois Speaker Michael Madigan Connected to Barack Obama, His Mentor Bill Ayers and Mueller Gang Leader Andrew Weissmann

Yesterday, it was reported that Illinois Speaker of the House, Michael Madigan, was subpoenaed by the DOJ. This subpoena illuminated the connections between Barack Obama, Bill Ayers and even Mueller gang leader Andrew Weissmann.

Michael Madigan, the Democrat Illinois State Speaker, is the longest serving Speaker in the nation. He runs Chicago and Illinois politics and and has for years. The video below is an excellent summary of the state of the union in Illinois under Madigan’s leadership:

The Chicago Sun Times reported in February:

Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan and several of his closest political allies are named in a new federal subpoena seeking records on a former ComEd lobbyist and his consulting work for a tiny southwestern suburb, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.

A significant focus of the subpoena is Raymond T. Nice – a longtime campaign worker for Madigan’s Southwest Side Democratic organization who became an “independent contractor” for the village of Merrionette Park in 2015, according to records and interviews.

Delivered by an IRS agent and dated Friday, the subpoena asks Merrionette Park officials for copies of contracts with Nice, as well as invoices “and payment records, including but not limited to records that explain the purpose(s) and work product for which payment was made, records of wire transfers, copies of checks (front and back) and/or records of cash payments.”

The subpoena also asks that, by March 4, village officials turn over all “correspondence with, or other communications (such as internal email messages) documenting communications with, Michael Madigan, Michael McClain, Timothy Mapes, Kevin Quinn and/or Marty Quinn.”

Then yesterday it was reported by CBS Chicago:

Following months of speculation about a wide-ranging investigation, federal prosecutors have charged ComEd with a years-long bribery scheme involving the company’s arrangement for jobs, contracts, and payments to allies and associates of Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.

ComEd will pay a $200 million fine as part of a deferred prosecution agreement to end the federal probe, admitting it sought to influence “Public Official A” — identified as the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives without using Madigan’s name — by arranging for his allies and people who performed political work for him to obtain jobs, contracts and payments from ComEd between 2011 and 2019.

What’s untold are the connections between ComEd, Chicago politicians like Barack Obama, and the Mueller gang.

The corrupt Chicago political machine has been around for more than a century. No doubt, ComEd and other corporations have had to deal with the machine in order to do business in this city and state for ages. A former ComEd CEO was Tom Ayers, the father of Obama mentor and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

Exelon is the parent company of ComEd and brags about being the largest energy company in the US. This firm gave heavily to the Obama campaign:
