The Deputies Who Tortured a Mississippi County

For nearly two decades, the deputies roamed Rankin County at night, beating, tasing, and choking suspects in drug crimes until they admitted to buying or selling illegal substances. Their reign of terror continued unabated until 2023, when the deputies were finally exposed.

“Rankin County has always been notorious,” says Garry Curro, one the Goon Squad’s many alleged victims. “They don’t follow the laws of the land. They make their own laws.”

Epstein helped broker Israeli intelligence projects in Africa: Documents

The leaked emails and Epstein’s personal schedules show the financier acting as a key intermediary between Barak and Ivorian leaders in 2012 and 2013, facilitating meetings, smoothing negotiations, and pushing forward Israeli security proposals, as reported by Drop Site on Friday.

Epstein’s communications reveal his enthusiasm for monetizing regional turmoil. “With civil unrest exploding […] and the desperation of those in power, isn’t this perfect for you,” he wrote to Barak.

The former Israeli premier replied: “You’re right [in] a way. But not simple to transform it into a cash flow.”

That “cash flow,” according to the documents, took the form of Israeli surveillance contracts and intelligence-sharing agreements with the Ivorian government.

Leo Strauss

Political philosophy

In the 20th century, the American conservative political philosopher Leo Strauss and his neo-conservative adherents adopted the notion of government by the enlightened few as political strategy. He noted that intellectuals, dating from Plato, confronted the dilemma of either an informed populace “interfering” with government, or whether it were possible for good politicians to be truthful and still govern to maintain a stable society—hence the noble lie necessary in securing public acquiescence. In The City and Man (1964), he discusses the myths in The Republic that Plato proposes effective governing requires, among them, the belief that the country (land) ruled by the state belongs to it (despite some having been conquered from others), and that citizenship derives from more than the accident of birth in the city-state. Thus, in the New Yorker magazine article “Selective Intelligence”, Seymour Hersh observes that Strauss endorsed the “noble lie” concept: the myths politicians use in maintaining a cohesive society.

Shadia Drury criticized Strauss’s acceptance of dissembling and deception of the populace as “the peculiar justice of the wise”, whereas Plato proposed the noble lie as based upon moral good. In criticizing Natural Right and History (1953), she said that “Strauss thinks that the superiority of the ruling philosophers is an intellectual superiority and not a moral one … [he] is the only interpreter who gives a sinister reading to Plato, and then celebrates him.”

Tulane Students Disrupt IDF Event, Resist Police Repression

On the night of Monday, November 3, 60 Tulane students and community members gathered for a noise demonstration to protest the first stop of a national “Combat on Campus Tour” of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers. The IDF event was hosted by Tulane Students Supporting Israel (SSI) at the Chabad Center of Louisiana near Tulane University’s campus.

Protesters, called together by Together United Louisiana Students for a Democratic Society (TUL SDS), banged pots, pans and drums to disrupt the two IDF soldiers who came to share “their firsthand stories from October 7 and the war that followed.”

Revelation 13
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy…

…And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?…

Mark 13
And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
