Living in the Great Socialist Paradise is like winning the lottery EVERY DAY!

I'm not doubting this operation broke laws and did bad things, but the CNN article sounds like it's exaggerating and leaving out pertinent details, like the fact that these people were addicts. Leaving out key details is CNN's favorite way of lying and embellishing a story to make it more outrageous.

Maybe this article gives a better image of what the situation was: https://www.kqed.org/news/11773897/imperial-valley-ministries-had-a-growing-empire-before-forced-labor-charges

To me, it sounds like they were strict and controlling not because it was some "forced slave labor camp", but because they were dealing with junkies. No wonder they locked doors via deadbolts at night, took away their EBT cards so they couldn't trade them for drugs, and took away some of their documents so they would have some leverage over them to help keep them from running off and doing something regretful. Maybe they even agreed to this stuff upfront? Asking people to panhandle and turn the money over to the church sounds like payment for the services received.

"We certainly encountered a lot of people who were very appreciative of going cold turkey and getting off of drugs," Christopher Tenorio, an assistant U.S. attorney based in San Diego, said Wednesday.

Sounds like they had at least some happy customers. But, the CNN article wouldn't dare share a detail like that.

leftist CNN's very first sentence:

A dozen leaders of a California-based ministry have been indicted by a federal grand jury, accused of forced labor of mostly homeless people

intended propaganda: Church is bad. They enslaved poor homeless people.

Fake ass news.

I'm starting to think that his simply was a healthy Hispanic approach to dealing with junkies. Hispanics have preserved lots of common sense...they used method which, while somewhat crude, was effective. Takes $$$ away from police, pharma, prisons...so can not be tolerated.

Ah. I forget myself sometimes.

For MSM, impartial, unbiased fact reporting = bad. The more propaganda the better.

Salon Media says they have reached an 11th hour deal to sell the company and its flagship property Salon.com for $5 million. In an SEC filing, Salon also revealed its position was dire and that it would face imminent “bankruptcy and liquidation” if the deal should fall through.

“We have agreed to sell substantially all of our assets (the “Asset Sale”), including all pertinent intellectual property rights comprising the Company’s business of owning, operating and publishing the website known as Salon.com,” the filing read.

The company buying Salon was named only as Salon.com LLC and appeared to be getting an even better deal than the top line figures first suggest. To complete the sale, the buyer need only pay $550,000 at closing, with an additional $100,000 left in an escrow account. The filing also showed that a deposit of $500,000 had already been paid.

Think about the fact that Salon, which is lecturing people about Coddling Minds, sold for only $550,000 down, less than half the average cost of a San Francisco Home.

I recently spoke to an acquaintance of mine at a top law firm that specializes in start-ups. Business is booming, he said. I also concurred, based upon what I am seeing. Of course if you are depending on free shit from someone, well, things ain't never good.

Paul Krugman says President Trump is "in full-blown panic over the failure of his economic policies"
Nobel Prize winner says Trump's actions show he's hit the "panic button," because of he has no idea what he's doing

But wait, it's WORSE.

“Because Salon has run deficits for almost every quarter since it was founded, the company has relied on regular interest-free cash advances from Warnock, chairman of Salon’s board, and Hambrecht, a board member,” Politico wrote at the time. “From Salon’s founding until the end of 2015, the most recent data available, Warnock and Hambrecht have given the company nearly $20 million in cash advances, and Warnock also personally guaranteed a $1 million line of credit.”

(Same Link)

In other words, Salon has always been a pet project of wealthy Leftists, and never made a dime.

lol this truly must be a parody. Even for Krugsheister this is insane in the mebrane.

One of the most overrated economists ever. Krugman is just politics regurgitated. He does no analysis or even data gathering. He talks to nobody but DNC party insiders and then comes up with these gems of absolute naivety.
It’s really embarrassing for Norway that they gave him a Nobel.

Either way it's mendacious.

It's not only false by policy and results (unemployment, GDP growth, stock market valuation), but by boom-bust cycle - we're in a very mature recovery.

The real miracle is that Trump has grown a recovery well longer than it should have.

"Paul Krugman in full-blown panic that majority will discover he is tin plate fraud!"

I had a hard time getting through that drivel.

Speech codes. Trigger warnings. Safe spaces. We’ve all read and heard disturbing accounts of such measures’ ubiquity and oppressiveness on campus after campus, their students depicted as demanding them en masse and administrators as rushing to establish them.

I don’t expect these alarms to stop being sounded, or students to stop demonstrating, once the new semester is underway. But this is the time to consider what’s really driving not only the students, but the strong and largely successful campaign to condemn them.

It seems to me that starting in the 1960's colleges changed from the ivory tower bastion of free speech that imparted knowledge and wisdom to young people who were to become the engineers, doctors, lawyers, and other professionals that society needs.

Now, to some, college is an "experience" where girls go wild (don't think they don't) and guys party hard. They major in social justice and (fill in the "oppressed" groups name) studies. They rack up 6 figure student loan debt and don't even learn how to work as a bartender or barista (that will take on the job training).

We are still graduating engineers, doctors, lawyers, and other professionals that society needs. These young people come from all walks of life and should be judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin. There are children from the ghetto that end up very successful just as there are children from the successful that end up being ghetto.

Speech codes. Trigger warnings. Safe spaces. If a person wants to wallow in self pity and talk about "inequality" and how "the man keeps me down" they will never get anywhere.

because he is pro-business, and gov't is paralyzed because of nevertrumpers in both parties - businesses get no new, idiotic regulations.

And the budget deficit is only $1 Trillion. Winning!

fair statement - this will detonate at some point

TrumpingTits says

Yes, it is fake alright. The prize Krugman won is not a Nobel prize. Neither did Milton Friedman, too. There is no Nobel Prize for Economics.

Yep! Economists have physical sciences envy, big league. There was a Prof of University of Chicago who demanded the grad students, like himself, dress in a white lab coat.

"Members of the Nobel family are among the harshest, most persistent critics of the economics prize, and members of the family have repeatedly called for the prize to be abolished or renamed. In 2001, on the 100th anniversery of the Nobel Prizes, four family members published a letter in the Swedish paper Svenska Dagbladet, arguing that the economics prize degrades and cheapens the real Nobel Prizes. "

Heh, Heh, Krugman is proof positive of this 'Fake Nobel'. However, the so-called peace prize has turned out to be specious as well: nothing more than a globalist anointing of some wimp out dickhead.

I had a hard time getting through that drivel.

I tried, and couldn't. Thats one of those things that if the author tried to say all that in person, people would either walk out, or the speaker would get punched in the face.

TLDR.
How about a 500-word summary.

"German Study: Alarming Levels of Dangerous Plastics in Children's Bodies"

Horrible. Plastic should only be in adult women's tatas.

The timing screams that RGB is on her death bed.

BTW this little tid bit here would discredit everything the Hell to the Naw on Kavanaugh brigade has to throw at him.

https://ijr.com/kavanaugh-accusers-lawyer-part-motivated-christine-blasey-ford/

Probably just more liberal fear mongering. I wouldn't worry about it.

Smart people learn from mistakes.
Dumb people repeat them over and over.

Its because RGB is on a ventilator and they know the next appointment will breeze through as a woman.

I have no idea what happened to Democratic party, it's like completely retarded people took over. I saw it coming from a mile away, they were promoting all sorts of idiotic shit, and that shit now consumed the party. There is no way out now, they are fucked. Worst part is that now they are pushing their own "fucked" onto rest of us.

Old fake news mud slinging and groundless slander is better than no fake news mud slinging and groundless slander.

I wonder how much money those liberal scientists will be able to squeeze out of governments to research this further.

It's probably just a scam. You know, to get "scientists" (i.e. liberals) paid.

Precisely.
We already know the who what where when why about plastics.
But don't let that stop a tax increase to enrich the indentured professor Leachmen...

Children from poorer families had more plastic residue in their bodies than those from higher-income homes.

Sounds more like an issue with shitty parenting.

Kavanaugh is a such a feckless, sissy little beta. No wonder the Trumpites worship him, someone they can finally relate to! Who could never score any ass because he obviously has no confidence or balls, let alone any game. I couldn't imagine how pathetic one would have to be to idolize this loser

BigFrank says

He's still your SCOTUS, he ruined several Democrat careers in his confirmation process.
This new round of insanity will end some more. People are getting sick of Evil Commie Fags huffing and puffing, and bitching and moaning about America and Americans.

Trump is fixing our Courts, so we can rid of them. How does that make you feel, Big ass Frank?

Good point

FortWayneIndiana says

completely retarded people

That's an insult to the Retarded,even they realize how dumb,Democrats are.

Left Clown world: He showed his penis to a classmate!! REEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Impeach!
Also Left Clown world: Pedophilia and gay ass fucking is awesome-o! Let's teach it in school! Mandatory!

With the retraction the NYT added today, looks like this is just a confirmed case of two authors with an agenda to sell their book about Kavanaugh creating some news. Then the leading DNC candidates go full retard about it. And America gets just a bit more red pilled.

It looks like, so far, about $0/gallon more.

Gas prices (unleaded regular)...
Current average: $2.56
Yesterday average: $2.56
Week ago average: $2.56
Month ago average: $2.63
Year ago average: $2.84

Diesel also came down from last year: $3.18 down to $2.92. And it's been rock-solid steady for the last week.

Guess we'll see what happens in the coming week. My guess: Not much. Summer driving season is over. Slowdown in shipping means less diesel use.

You could come on out to silicon valley and pay $3.75 for gasoline, but that's just crazy California.

Lol. Both parties gerrymander equally. This is not news. They don't necessarily do it the same way though (legally changing boundaries R's or actively supporting the import of illegals and suppressing an entire race D's). And yes, many R's are for illegals too, they're just not vocal about it, in Spanish during a primary debate.

"For some 500 years, capitalism’s logic of eco-genocidal accumulation has presided over both the physical eradication of human and non-human life and the cultural eradication of the languages, traditions and collective knowledge that constitute life’s diversity.

Written by an ignorant childlike person. Mongols eliminated 10% of the people living at the time, and used low tech to do it. Population for the last 500 years has been growing, and especially growing since the Industrial Revolution. Any language that is not written will evolve into something new is a few generations, In fact, even written languages change, try and read something written in Old English. Of course, this is the same mindset that adding relatively trace amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere will bake the Earth, while ignoring actual population, resource depletion, and pollution.

It takes a simple mind to think there is anything profound it that sourced article.
