Facebook, Twitter seek to limit spread of Trump remarks on voting twice to test system
Facebook and Twitter both took steps Thursday to limit the spread of remarks by President Trump encouraging voters to test the system by voting twice — by mail and in person.
In a local TV interview in Wilmington, N.C., Wednesday, Trump suggested that people should vote twice, which is illegal.
He then made similar remarks to a crowd of supporters at the Wilmington airport.
Facebook announced it would take down videos of the interview if the posts did not "correct the record" on voter fraud.
It also a labeled a post from the president where he made a similar, although not identical claim.
In the post, Trump said that voters should mail in ballots and then go to your polling location on election day and see whether or not the mail-in ballot has been tabulated.
"If it has you will not be able to Vote & the Mail In System worked properly," he wrote. "If it has not been Counted, VOTE (which is a citizen’s right to do)."
As part of the policy update that Facebook rolled out earlier Thursday, the post was appended with a label saying that according to the Bipartisan Policy Center, "voting by mail has a long history of trustworthiness in the US and the same is predicted this year."
The label links to Facebook's Voting Information Center, which contains information about elections from vetted sources.
Trump posted the same message on Twitter Thursday.
The tweets, encouraging people to vote twice, were determined to have violated the platform's rules about civic and election integrity.
While the tweets were kept up to serve "the public's interest" the ability to like or retweet them was removed.
North Carolina officials will begin sending absentee ballots to voters who have requested them on Friday. North Carolina represents a key swing state in the 2020 election.
Following Trump’s remarks, Karen Brinson Bell, executive director of the North Carolina state board of elections, issued a statement emphasizing that it illegal in the state to vote or attempt to vote twice in an election.

Arsonist Who Threw Molotov Cocktail Into Missouri Planned Parenthood Clinic Sentenced To Prison
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A Columbia, Missouri, man was sentenced in federal court today for the arson at the Columbia Health Center (operated by Planned Parenthood Great Plains).
“This defendant’s criminal behavior placed the community in an unacceptable risk of danger,” Garrison said. “We will not tolerate the use of violence and arson as a means to achieve personal political or policy goals. This attack is the antithesis of everything for which the best ideals of this nation have always stood.
“The FBI special agents on this difficult case exemplified outstanding investigative skills in locating and evaluating the evidence that enabled us to identify the arsonist and quickly bring him to justice,” Garrison added.
Wesley Brian Kaster, 43, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Brian C. Wimes to five years in federal prison without parole.
On Nov. 21, 2019, Kaster pleaded guilty to one count of maliciously using explosive materials to damage a building owned by an organization that receives federal financial assistance, and one count of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. Kaster has remained in federal custody without bond since his arrest on March 2, 2019.
Kaster admitted that he manufactured a Molotov cocktail on Feb. 10, 2019. On the same day, he broke the glass in the north entry door of the Columbia Health Center at 711 N. Providence Road and threw the Molotov cocktail into the facility. At approximately 4:10 a.m., the Columbia Fire Department arrived on the scene, investigated the damage caused by the explosive device, and collected evidence. Kaster admitted that he took these actions because Planned Parenthood provided reproductive health services at the facility.
This case was prosecuted by Supervisory Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael S. Oliver. It was investigated by the Columbia, Mo., Police Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and the FBI.

As Congress Wrestles With Stimulus Bill, Government Shutdown Looms
A perfect storm is about to hit Congress and Congress isn’t ready.
There is a chance that negotiations could restart for a coronavirus relief bill. With the presidential race tightening up, Democrats are beginning to worry that their obstructionist policies might not play as well in November as they thought when they had a clear lead in the polls.
Then, they didn’t think they needed a bill. But the situation is changing rapidly and the Democrats may see an advantage in striking a quick deal.
But while Congress is wrestling with the stimulus bill, they’re also going to have to do something to keep the government fully funded after September 30. That too will require careful political calculation.
CNN:
Sources familiar with the matter told CNN that Democratic leaders are discussing proposing a continuing resolution that would expire in mid-March. That would potentially allow a President Biden and Senate Democrats to play a major role in the next round of government funding shortly after taking office, assuming their party wins this fall.
But a senior Democratic aide told CNN the party leadership has not had in-depth discussions about the length of the stop-gap measure and “no decisions have been made.”
The political calculus is in the timing of the stop-gap measure.
The White House has informed lawmakers that it wants a stop-gap measure to keep the government afloat until mid-December during the lame-duck session of Congress, sources said. That would ensure the current Congress — with the Senate controlled by Republicans and the House run by Democrats — would have to approve a bill and get it signed by President Donald Trump even if he loses the election.
But a longer stop-gap measure into next year, known as a continuing resolution, could be more beneficial to Democrats if Joe Biden wins the presidency and if their party wins back the Senate in November.
The stakes are higher for Republicans, even if Trump wins re-election. It’s the difference between having a big influence on the continuing resolution in December or little or no influence in March if Democrats take control of the Senate.
It’s probable that some kind of pandemic relief will be included in the government funding measure.
Once the GOP stimulus plan stalls in the Senate, then talks over government funding are bound to intensify and will likely center around the length of the stop-gap measure and whether it should include economic relief like an extension of jobless benefits, aid to schools and rental assistance for people facing eviction — or if it should be free of any of those items.
Both sides insist they don’t want the government to shut down and are hopeful a deal to keep agencies funded can be reached before they run out of money on Oct. 1.
The October deadline is more than a paper deadline. All 435 congressmen and a third of the Senate need to campaign. The longer they’re stuck in Washington to deal with the shutdown threat, the antsier they’ll get. It’s likely that some kind of a short-term deal will be reached before September 30.

Belarus Chooses Integration With Russia Against Navalny Poisoning
On September 3, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin paid an official visit to Belarus, where he met with President of the Republic Alexander Lukashenko and held talks with Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko with the participation of delegations from both sides. Significant progress has been made on many issues of the Russian-Belarusian agenda, including the future of their Union State. It seems that Lukashenko has finally chosen a strategy for overcoming the crisis – accelerated integration with the Russian Federation.
Given the current situation in the country and the long mass protests ,the “acceleration” of integration means that this should be done as quickly as possible, in the coming weeks, in a few months at most.
Relations between the two sides have deteriorated significantly over the past year. Lukashenko, apparently, deliberately distanced from Moscow and did everything possible to be less dependent from his neighbor. Disputes over natural gas supplies to Belarus have become a stumbling block in the negotiations between the two sides. The price conflict in the oil sector led Belarus to look for alternative sources of raw materials and purchase oil shipments from Azerbaijan, Norway, Saudi Arabia, as well as from the United States. A signal of the crisis peak in relations between the two countries was the detention in Minsk of 33 Russian citizens accused of preparing provocations before the presidential elections.

Tara McGowan, Fake News Network Owner, to Speak on Panel About Fake News
Tara McGowan, whose Courier Newsroom project has been labeled "hyperlocal partisan propaganda" for its spreading of pro-Democrat messages on social media, announced Wednesday that she would speak later this month on a panel dedicated to "fake news and social media disinformation."
McGowan, CEO of the Democrat-aligned political firm Acronym, will appear on the panel, jointly hosted by Northeastern University-Seattle and the World Affairs Council of Seattle, on September 17. Slated to speak alongside her are journalists Davey Alba of the New York Times, Peter Hamby of Snapchat, and McKay Coppins of the Atlantic, which is owned by Acronym investor Laurene Powell Jobs.
The event's official page describes it as "a panel discussion," with participants covering "what's real and what's not, and how to reclaim control of your social media feeds." "Social media," it notes, "has become an indispensable tool for political campaigning and news delivery, but it's also used for nefarious purposes"—panelists will cover these trends.
McGowan's inclusion is surprising, given that Courier—an umbrella organization created and largely owned by Acronym, which in turn oversees "local" news sites that distribute pro-Democrat talking points—has spent millions distributing its stories on Facebook and other social media platforms. The group is the subject of a complaint filed Thursday with the FEC, seeking to compel it to register as a political committee.
Asked whether they were aware of the outstanding criticisms of Courier, NU-Seattle, the World Affairs Council of Seattle, Snapchat, and Alba did not return requests for comment. Coppins, who has written about McGowan previously, declined to comment. A spokesperson for Acronym said, "We fully understand your frustration with the Free Beacon not being invited to appear on this panel. There's always next year."
Announcing her participation in the panel on Twitter Wednesday, McGowan explicitly linked her panel appearance to the "progressive news network" that she says she created to "counter the rise of right-wing fake news + misinformation online (that's destroying our democracy) with…wait for it …facts."
Acronym, a major player in the Democratic digital space, has put big money behind those "facts." Courier recently debuted a seven-figure ad campaign focused on bolstering the image of vulnerable House Democrats in the eyes of millions of Facebook users. That's on top of an estimated $3.6 million it has spent on Facebook ads alone.

'Eight more weeks': Brutal lockdown call for Victorians
It's news that no Victorian wants to hear, but the state is being called on to endure eight more weeks of lockdown for the greater good of the nation.
It's news that no Victorian wants to hear, but the state is being called on to endure another eight weeks of lockdown for the greater good of the nation.
The brutal call comes from one of Australia’s most respected think tanks, the Grattan Institute, which says the state’s six-week lockdown will almost certainly not be enough to reopen the economy.
It is calling on Victoria, NSW, and Queensland to “aggressively drive COVID-19 cases down to zero” as part of an explicit national policy of no active cases in the Australian community.
“Opening up too early, while coronavirus is still in the community, runs the risk of future outbreaks, reimposed lockdowns, renewed economic disruption, and more deaths,” the report’s authors wrote. “Having come this far, we should finish the job.”
They said that the current strategy in NSW is “dangerous”.
“The NSW strategy of seeking to keep cases down to a manageable level is also dangerous, because the longer the virus is in the community, the greater the risk of breakouts requiring lockdowns to be reimposed to prevent hospitals being overwhelmed,” they said.
“That’s a ‘yo-yo’ strategy – the economy could be seized with uncertainty as businesses open, close, open, and close again.”
The report says Victoria, NSW, and Queensland could instead eliminate the virus if Victorian endured another eight weeks of lockdown.
“There should be no easing until daily new cases are below 20, then further easing when the numbers fall to five, and again at zero,” it reads.
“A successful national campaign to get to zero and stay there would enable all restrictions to be eased other than international quarantine, while the quest for a vaccine continues. Australia should go for zero, because the pay-off will be worth it.”

Rochester Mayor Suspends 7 Cops Involved In Killing Of Daniel Prude
Hours after Gov Cuomo demanded "answers" and called for the state AG's investigation into the killing of Daniel Prude to wrap up as quickly as possible, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, has suspended seven officers involved in the deadly confrontation.
“You can not stand around and allow these types of things to happen, you have a duty,” according to the AP.
The AG's office took over the investigation back in April, long before the Prude family went public with their claims during a Wednesday press conference, which also involved releasing never-before-seen bodycamera footage of the incident that led to Prude's death seven days later.
Prude, 41, died March on 30 while still in the hospital one week after police put a "spit hood" over his head and pressed his face into the pavement for two minutes, cutting off his ability to breath and leading to brain damage. He was the loving father of five adult children, and was known to have some mental health issues, though he was generally regarded as harmless. These hoods have been blamed for the deaths of several prisoners in recent years.
"Rell", as he was known to family, had just arrived on Rochester for a visit with family. His brother called the police after Rell started acting erratically one night. The man took off his clothes and was running around naked in the street.
Activists have demanded that the officers involved be suspended, fired and/or charged for murder.
The local medical examiner has concluded that Prude’s death was a "homicide caused by complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint.” The report lists 'excited delirium and acute intoxication' by PCP as a contributing factor.

This is Fraud: 10% of Reported COVID-19 Deaths for Those Under 35 as Reported by the CDC Are Due to Poisoning, Trauma and Unintentional Injuries
The death rates for COVID are questionable at best.
And you won’t believe the category for 10% of the COVID-19 deaths for individuals under the age of 35.
On Saturday night we posted an article about COVID-19 – SHOCK REPORT: This Week CDC Quietly Updated COVID-19 Numbers – Only 9,210 Americans Died From COVID-19 Alone – Rest Had Different Other Serious Illnesses
The gist of the article is that COVID-19 is not nearly as deadly as first projected by the WHO and then by Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx. Based on CDC numbers this past week only 6% of all deaths attributed to COVID-19 were instances where the only factor in the individual’s death was due to COVI9-19.

Facebook’s New Terms Of Service Update Sounds A Lot Like Censorship
Many Facebook users have been receiving notifications from Facebook stating that on Oct. 1, 2020, they will be updating their Terms of Service. The new changes will allow Facebook to remove content or restrict access if the company feels it is necessary to avoid legal or regulatory impact.
Desktop and mobile users were receiving notifications that looked like this:
Effective October 1, 2020, section 3.2 of our Terms of Service will be updated to include: “We also can remove or restrict access to your content, services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal or regulatory impacts to Facebook.”
Users of social media have been rather critical of the recent updates, feeling that it may lead to more censorship or election meddling from big tech companies. Other users feel this could be a great move to get rid of more fake news.
Before we move on, don’t get me wrong, fake news exists, and is a problem. I have spoken to many other website owners within the independent media community over the years, urging them to take a deeper look at some of the stories they put out and ask whether they are actually true. People can do poor research at times, and they can miss important facts. At other times, some websites seek only to make money and thus they post anything that will get them traffic, even if it’s false.
That said, much of independent media has been falsely lumped in with those unique cases, making us seem guilty by association as opposed to actually creating false news. We have had this experience ourselves.
