Facebook BANS white nationalism and white separatism from its platform and Instagram as it attempts to bring down the hammer on extremist content

  • Facebook is now barring posts about white nationalism and white separatism
  • Posts including language like 'I am a proud white nationalist' will be banned
  • The policy will be put in place starting next week for all of its 2 billion-plus users
  • Users who try to post these kinds of content to the site will now be redirected by Facebook to a nonprofit organization that help individuals leave hate groups

Facebook has banned white nationalism and white separatist posts from its platform, in what likely constitutes its most aggressive action against extremist content yet.
The policy will be put in place starting next week and will affect all of Facebook's nearly 2 billion-wide user base, in addition to Instagram, the firm announced
'It’s clear that these concepts are deeply linked to organized hate groups and have no place on our services,' Facebook wrote in a blog post.  
The social media giant has removed posts from extremist groups in the past for violating its policies around hate speech and abuse, but has historically fallen short of outright banning posts of this kind.

WHAT KINDS OF POSTS WILL BE BANNED?  

Previously, Facebook only banned posts promoting white supremacism.
The firm decided today that it will now ban white nationalist and white separatist posts from its platform.
Civil rights groups argued that the three extremist ideologies were indistinguishable and should all be banned. 
Posts that include statements like 'I am a proud white nationalist' and 'Immigration is tearing this country apart' will immediately be banned. 
If a user tries to publish a post around these themes, they'll instead be redirected to a nonprofit called Life After Hate, which helps individuals involved in these extremist groups exit them safely.
The policy shift was first reported by Motherboard.  
As part of the sweeping crackdown, Facebook will no longer allow posts that include statements like 'I am a proud white nationalist' and 'Immigration is tearing this country apart; white separatism is the only answer' to remain on its site.  
'We’ve had conversations with more than 20 members of civil society, academics, in some cases these were civil-rights organizations, experts in race relations from around the world,' Facebook's policy director of counterrorism told Motherboard. 
'We decided that the overlap between white nationalism, [white] separatism, and white supremacy is so extensive we really can’t make a meaningful distinction between them.' 
If a user posts content including these statements or themes, Facebook will now direct them toward a nonprofit that helps people leave hate groups, Motherboard reported. 
The nonprofit, Life After Hate, was created by ex-white power activists and serves as an 'exit' program to help people 'leave the violent far right.' 
'If people are exploring this movement, we want to connect them with folks that will be able to provide support offline,' Fishman told Motherboard. 
'This is the kind of work that we think is part of a comprehensive program to take this sort of movement on.'
Prior to Wednesday's decision, Facebook had only prevented users from sharing messages that promoted white supremacy. 
It drew fierce backlash from civil rights advocates who argued that white supremacy is indistinguishable from white nationalism and white separatism.

Now, Facebook is moving to ban all posts promoting these three ideologies from its platform. 
'Over the past three months our conversations with members of civil society and academics who are experts in race relations around the world have confirmed that white nationalism and separatism cannot be meaningfully separated from white supremacy and organized hate groups,' the firm wrote in a blog post. 
Users who try to post content related to white supremacism, separatism or nationalism will be shown this type of message on Facebook

'Going forward, while people will still be able to demonstrate pride in their ethnic heritage, we will not tolerate praise or support for white nationalism and separatism.' 
Highlighting the thorniness of policing extremist content, Facebook said implicit and coded white nationalism and white separatism will not be removed from the site immediately, as it's harder to detect and remove. 
Facebook said it will also rely on machine learning and artificial intelligence to remove white nationalist, separatist and supremacist content. 
The firm told Motherboard that it will use tactics like content-matching to remove images that have previously been flagged as hate material. 
Facebook moved to ban white nationalist and white separatist posts after about three dozen Facebook employees worked on the topic, including input from COO Sheryl Sandberg. 
Several civil rights advocacy groups praised Facebook's decision, including racial justice organization Color of Change. 
'Color Of Change alerted Facebook years ago to the growing dangers of white nationalists on its platform, and today, we are glad to see the company’s leadership take this critical step forward in updating its policy on white nationalism,' Color Of Change President Rashad Robinson said in a statement. 
'We look forward to continuing our work with Facebook to ensure that the platform’s content moderation guidelines and trainings properly support the updated policy and are informed by civil rights and racial justice organizations.'
The Muslim Public Affairs Council called the decision a 'win against white supremacy' and said it has met with the firm, including Sandberg, to urge them to take a harder stance against all forms of hate speech on Facebook.
'Facebook’s official policy change is an important step for American Muslims and other marginalized communities affected by violence from white nationalists,' the organization said in a statement. 
'This step, while important, is just one step. There is still work to be done and we're committed to seeing this through.'

NWN: Oi  veh !  Anyone who didn't see this coming should not be involved in nationalist politics. They are all monitored already, so this was the 'zionist globalists' next step.



“This is utter bollocks!” Said Pooh.
“F*** this for a game of soldiers!” Agreed Piglet.

'I am confident the Lord is at work here': Mike Pompeo says 'it's possible' Trump is on a mission from God to save Israel from Iran

  • The Secretary of State made the comments during a Christian Broadcast Network interview from Jerusalem
  • Pompeo is an evangelical Presbyterian who says he got on the path to 'understanding of Jesus' as a cadet at West Point
  • He sat for the interview on Purim, the day Jews celebrate of Queen Esther saving them from being wiped out through a clever plan 
  • Pompeo was asked if it is possible Trump was 'raised' to 'help save the Jewish people from the Iranian menace?'
  • Pompeo responded: 'I certainly believe that's possible'  

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in an interview that it is 'possible' that President Donald Trump has been 'raised' by God to save the Jewish people from Iran.
Pompeo made the comments to the Christian Broadcast Network in an interview from Jerusalem during his visit, which precedes Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to Washington next week.
'I am confident that the Lord is at work here,' Pompeo told his the network.
During a lengthy discussion at the David Citadel Hotel overlooking Jerusalem's Old City, Pompeo was asked about the Jewish holiday of Purim, which falls on the day his comments were taped.
'I am confident that the Lord is at work here,' Pompeo said after being asked about any parallels between Trump's role combating Iran – the 'new Haman' – and Queen Esther's biblical role saving the Jews

The biblical story tells of how Queen Esther through cunning saved the Jewish people from being wiped out. 
Interviewer Chris Mitchell asked Pompeo, the nation's top diplomat, asked whether Trump was here to 'save the Jewish people,' and made brought up the story as a parallel.  
'And you also mentioned a Bible story last night when you had your statements with the prime minister,' Mitchell said.
'Jews worldwide and here in Jerusalem are talking about the fact that Esther 2,500 years ago saved the Jewish people with God's help from Haman. And now 2,500 years later there's a new Haman here in the Middle East that wants to eradicate the Jewish people like just like Haman did: the state of Iran,' he said.

He spoke on a day President Trump said the U.S. should recognize the Golan Heights as part of Israel, a move that if carried out would be a plum for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who must stand for reelection in weeks. The rest of the world recognizes the territory, seized from Syria in 1967 Six Day war, as occupied territory that should be a subject of talks.
In a Fox Business Network interview, Trump was asked if he took the action to help the embattled Netanyahu politically. ''No. I wouldn't even know about that,' the president said. 'I wouldn't even know about that I have no idea. I hear he is doing okay,' Trump said.
President Trump on Friday once again attacked the opposition Democratic Party as 'anti-Jewish,' a day after denying that his statement on the Golan Heights was meant to bolster Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu

Trump also pleased evangelical voters in the U.S. as well as the Netanyahu government last year by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, breaking with longstanding U.S. policy.
 Pompeo also spoke about his own religious path in the interview. 
'So I grew up going to church on Sundays, but frankly it wasn't a priority in my life growing up. I went off to West Point, and as a young cadet, during my freshman year there were two young men who were juniors who were true men of faith. And they held these little Bible study/cookie klatches on Sunday afternoons,' Pompeo said.
'And they invited all the cadets to see – it was purely voluntary. And I started showing up, and – truly remarkable. I started going to church every weekend on my own, because I wanted to be there to learn and to grow, and at some point during that first year I really did come to have an understanding of Jesus that was different than the one that I had before,' he said. 'It fundamentally changed my life.'
 Pompeo noted that he 'swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States' when he assumed his post.
'But in each of those missions, the task that I have is informed by my understanding of my faith, my belief in Jesus Christ as the savior. It doesn't drive answers and outcomes every day,' he said. 'But it does inform how I try to treat every human being with dignity and respect in ways that Christians ought to.'

NWN: Trump seems intent on inflaming the middle east in his pandering to Zionism. Moving the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is contrary to international law, and which inflamed the Palestinians and Arabs worldwide. Now this....... the expanding of the illegal Zionist jewish state . The flag of Israel has two horizontal lines which depict the land they want, from the Euphrates to the Nile. The blue lines being the two rivers.

Purim is the story of the massacre of people the Jews did not like. The DAILY MAIL above describe Purim thus "......the day Jews celebrate of Queen Esther saving them from being wiped out through a clever plan .  

"Purim is a holiday that celebrates the Jews’ victory over all those who wanted to eradicate us throughout our history and those who are still trying to do so today". https://www.aish.com/h/pur/t/dt/Purim_Serious_Joy.html

A weird description by the Daily Mail for a massacre  ?

 SOLDIER by HARVEY ANDREWS.


This record is rising high in the charts at Amazon and i-Tunes amongst others.



It came out in the early 1970's, when the BBC banned it's being played. Many 1,000's of British soldiers bought it back then. Due to the current witch-hunt against Northern Ireland veterans, there are campaigns to get it to No. 1 in the various record charts . Many people are downloading it from these record sites.



It is based on the true story of Sgt Michael Willets, 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment, who placed his body onto an IRA bomb in Belfast to save civilians in 1971. Sgt Willets was awarded the George Cross for this act of selfless heroism. George Cross ; Willetts was killed in Springfield Road RUC station by the Provisional IRA. A man in his mid-twenties emerged from a car and threw a suitcase containing a blast bomb into the lobby of the station. Willetts thrust two children and two adults into a corner and stood above them as the 30 lbs of explosives detonated, seriously injuring him. Seven RUC officers, two British soldiers and eighteen civilians were injured in the attack. Willetts was fatally injured by a chunk of metal from a locker which had struck him in the back of the head. As he was being removed by ambulance, he and the injured officers were jeered by local youths who screamed obscenities at them. Willetts died after two hours on the operating table at Royal Victoria Hospital.[2]

 This record is harrowing.

Syrian refugee returns stymied by insistence on political solution: Aoun



Griffin and Fiore in Lebanon - what's going on here ?



President Michel Aoun told members of a far-right European party that efforts are underway to secure the safe return of Syrian refugees to their home country, but that they are being stymied by the international community’s insistence on a political solution to the Syrian crisis.

The remarks came during a meeting with members of the European Parliament who belong to the Alliance for Peace and Freedom, a far-right pan-European party whose members include representatives from the neo-fascist Greek Golden Dawn movement and the neo-Nazi German National Democratic Party.

Aoun told the members that any aid stemming from funds pledged to refugees should not be made available to them while they remain in their host countries. He said it should instead be distributed to them only upon their going back to Syria to incentivize their return.

Roberto Fiore, the alliance’s president, who attended the meeting, told the president that his delegation worried about the refugee crisis, and that “everyone ... especially the European Union” must find a solution to it, according to tweets from the Lebanese presidency.

On Thursday, international donors at the three-day Brussels III conference pledged about $7 billion in aid for refugees who have fled the war-ravaged country. Prime Minister Saad Hariri had appealed to the international community for about $2.6 billion in funding for Lebanon, though how much of the $7 billion the country will receive has not yet been made clear.

Some Lebanese officials estimate that around 1.5 million Syrian refugees are in the country, and say they are straining Lebanon’s flagging economy and frail infrastructure.

The insistence on a political solution to the Syrian conflict before widespread returns take place is not the concern of the international community alone. Internally, one of the central points of contention surrounding the refugee returns has been whether Lebanon should fully reestablish ties with Damascus to orchestrate them.

Aoun and the Free Patriotic Movement, which he founded, along with Hezbollah and their allies, have supported normalizing ties and coordination with Syria to ensure the safe return of Syrian refugees to their country. The Future Movement, the Lebanese Forces and the Progressive Socialist Party have staunchly opposed direct contacts with Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime until a solution to the conflict has been reached.

NWN: Why of why do these people still drag Nick Griffin to these functions/events ? Griffins record of dishonesty especially where money is concerned, rank incompetence, and deliberate destruction of UK nationalist parties is surely public knowledge ? A clue here might be that his 'mate' Roberto Fiore is also there. Griffin has been mates with Fiore since the 1980's. When Griffin was wandering off to the 'Third Way' and other esoteric nonsense, including running off to Libya and General Gaddafi in the search for an alternative amount of BS to ruin the National Front in the UK. How is this possible to keep inviting  Griffin, a man who falls out with everyone - eventually, and usually sooner rather than later ? We really do despair of some of the folk still seemingly in charge of 'events' in nationalism.

 San Francisco gives award to IRA leader Martin McGuinness - similar to 'Freedom of the City'.

 The award was given by San Francisco Mayor London Breed. The award mentions "Martins courageous service in the military" .

 

Here is London Breed;

To give a character to the sort of person this is , her brother is in jail for a killing,robbery plus drugs and so on. More details below.

------------------------------------------------------------

San Francisco Mayor London Breed Requests Brother's Early Release




Back in 2000, he pushed a young mother out of a car and into Golden Gate Bridge traffic. Napoleon Brown, 46, is now serving a 44-year term in Solano State Prison for manslaughter, robbery and other crimes tied to the death of Lenties White.
Both White’s family and legal experts question Breed’s letter, which was obtained by NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit.
Breed wrote to the governor as part of an official application in October that while she did not think the four-decade sentence against her brother was fair, “I make no excuses for him. His decisions, his actions led him to the place he finds himself now.”
She says her brother has been through addiction, parenting and other programs in state prison. Outside, she assured, he would have “strong” family support.
“I guarantee we can secure him access to a job, to a good home, to the counselling and services he and every other addict need for the rest of their lives.”
His freedom, she says, is “what’s best for both Napoleon and society overall.”
But Sandra McNeil, the mother of the 25-year-old victim, disagrees.
“I don’t think it would be justice,” she said. “She’s the mayor, so she’s got a little power, so she thinks she can get her brother out.’’
Veteran prosecutor turned defense attorney, Chuck Smith, said the mayor’s letter raises all sorts of ethical questions.
“The timing of it is troublesome,” Smith said. “She could have written this letter six months ago, when she wasn’t mayor -- and she didn’t. The governor obviously is leaving office soon.”
In writing the governor, Breed left out that just last year, according to court records, her brother was caught with heroin in prison. As a result, he had another two years tacked onto the sentence he was already serving for manslaughter, robbery and other crimes.
Brown had a prior robbery on his record when he was originally convicted of murder and robbery and sentenced to 44 years in prison back in 2005. While the murder verdict was overturned by a judge for technical reasons, Brown ultimately agreed to plead to involuntary manslaughter. He was eventually resentenced to 42 years.

No serving PSNI officers eligible for the post of Chief Constable


Bedfordshire Police Chief Constable Jon Boutcher is being tipped as a possible replacement for George Hamilton.




There are no senior, serving members of the PSNI currently qualified to replace retiring Chief Constable George Hamilton.
Mr Hamilton announced yesterday that he will leave his post in June having turned down an offer by the Policing Board to extend his contract by three years.
His departure will leave five senior posts within the force to be officially filled on a permanent basis.
The collapse of the assembly created an impasse with no political members of the Policing Board appointed to interview for the senior policing posts.
Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Karen Bradley broke the impasse last November by re-constituting the Policing Board, formally appointing both independent and political members.
However, while the vacant posts can now be formally filled none of the current senior officers have spent time working in a police force other than the PSNI or RUC, which is one of the main criteria for the post of Chief Constable.
Acting Deputy Chief Constable Stephen Martin was appointed to the second in command role in August last year following the departure of Drew Harris, now the Garda Commissioner.
While he has over 32 years police service, his career has been confined to Northern Ireland meaning he does not fit the criteria.
There are also three Assistant Chief Constable posts currently filled on a temporary basis.
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Tim Mairs is responsible for the Innovation and Standards Department.
The PSNIs most senior female officer Barbara Gray was appointed as temporary Assistant Chief Constable, Operational Support Department in February 2017.

Temporary Assistant Chief Constable George Clarke who was also appointed to the post last year and is responsible for Legacy and Legal matters.
None of the three have served time in an outside force.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton, who has previously been tipped as a future chief constable is also inlegible due to the strict stipulation for outside force experience.
Instead the Policing Board will be instead be looking outside of Northern Ireland for a replacement.
Former PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Will Kerr is currently serving as Police Scotland's Deputy Chief Constable, prior to that he was on secondment to the NCA.




Will Kerr, currently Deputy Chief Constable of Police Scotland is also being tipped as a contender.
He previously lodged an employment case against the Policing Board alleging discrimination on the grounds of religious belief/political opinion.
Mr Kerr unsuccessfully applied to become Deputy Chief Constable of the PSNI, but lost out to Drew Harris.
Shortly before the case was due to be heard it was settled privately. While he is currently a front runner for the job, there is expected to be other outside interest.
Garda Deputy Commissioner John Twomey and Assistant Commissioner Pat Leahy were both shortlisted for the Garda Commissioner post. But lost out to Drew Harris and it is being speculated they may apply for the PSNI job.
https://www.irishnews.com/news/northernirelandnews/2019/01/29/news/no-serving-psni-officers-eligible-for-the-post-of-chief-constable-1538374/

NWN: All this looks like a recipe for disaster .....................the total dismantling of the remains of the Royal Ulster Constabulary to appease Sinn Fein/IRA.

So much so, that this IRA terrorist criminal Gerry Kelly, has a say on who the next PSNI chief will be. This is criminal madness by 'our government'.

NHS cancer centre loses scanning contract to private firm

Doctors express disgust after eminent hospital fails to win tender for PET-CT services

NHS chiefs are pushing through plans to let private companies take over scanning services that are vital in treating cancer patients, having told ministers last week that privatisation was harming patient care.
Despite its international reputation for cancer care, Churchill hospital in Oxford has lost its contract to carry out PET-CT scans to InHealth, a private company, as part of the tendering process, the Guardian can reveal.
Doctors at the hospital said they were “disgusted” by the loss of the contract, warning that people receiving cancer treatment in the hospital will have to be taken by ambulance to two new locations at which InHealth’s scanners will be located. The decision has raised questions about NHS England’s professed desire to end the outsourcing of patient care, which it outlined in a detailed policy document released at a board meeting last week.
The Churchill is the first NHS hospital to lose out as a result of NHS England deciding in 2016 to put positron emission tomography-computed tomography services out to tender. The 3D scans of inside the body help doctors spot tumours and check if cancer treatment is working.
NHS England initiated the tender process to save money. However, major teaching hospitals, including King’s College hospital in London, and cancer hospitals such as the Christie in Manchester, are also at risk of having PET-CT services handed to the private sector.
NHS England has invited profit-driven companies to bid against NHS trusts for contracts to provide PET-CT scanning in 11 different areas of England.
Labour demanded that the health and social care secretary, Matt Hancock, block the sell-off.
“This latest NHS privatisation exposes as utterly hollow the health secretary’s promises to parliament that there will be no privatisation on his watch,” said Jonathan Ashworth, the shadow health and social care secretary.
“Just last week, NHS England claimed it wanted to bring an end to the constant tendering of contracts that the Lansley reorganisation ushered in. Patients will therefore consider it bewildering this privatisation has been allowed to proceed.”
Oncologists at the Churchill are “very concerned” by InHealth – a British company that already provides diagnostic services to the NHS – starting to provide PET-CT scans to the 2 million people who live in the Thames Valley area.
The hospital, which has performed that role since 2005, will now have to hand back the two scanners it leases in order to produce the images.
“Another provider might offer scans more cheaply, but will they match the quality?” an oncologist said.
“We’re worried people may end up needing rescanning and, at the end of the day, ultimately it is patients who will suffer.”
The expertise of the Churchill’s nuclear medicine department in undertaking high-quality PET scans will be lost to the NHS, the doctor added.
Specialist cancer doctors at Oxford University hospitals NHS trust, which runs the Churchill, said they have “concerns about the potential impact on the safety and quality of patient care at the loss of the current PET-CT service at the Churchill”.
They added: “If the service was no longer provided here, it would mean that very sick patients at the Churchill would need to travel off-site for a scan, which could have a negative impact on their health.”
Paul Evans, who runs the NHS Support Federation, which monitors privatisation of healthcare, said: “There’s a jarring contradiction between the proposals to privatise these cancer services and recent statements from NHS England about the failure of this kind of tendering.
“PET-CT is of crucial importance in the management of patients with cancer. So why risk the care of patients by taking this service away from a world-renowned centre with an established team of experts in the field, working together within the NHS, to move the service into the private sector?”
InHealth did not respond to requests for comment.
NHS England insisted existing EU-wide procurement law meant it had to tender the services. “The law is as yet unchanged in the way we recently recommended it should be, so in the meantime, existing procurement rules apply. In the Thames Valley, this particular process means two new sites being introduced for this particular scanning,” a spokesperson said.

Army veterans facing murder charges over Bloody Sunday within two weeks.
Army veterans are expected to be charged with murder within a fortnight over the deaths of Bloody Sunday protesters during the Troubles 47 years ago, The Telegraph understands.
Well-placed sources have suggested that four ex-paratroopers, now in their 60s and 70s, fear being told on March 14 they will face murder charges in connection with the notorious shootings in Londonderry in 1972.
Fourteen civilians were killed and another 14 wounded when the soldiers from 1 Para opened fire on a civil rights demonstration in the city.
