__***Former South Korean president facing possible life sentence ***__

*THE GUARDIAN*

South Korean prosecutors have formally charged Park Geun-hye over high-profile corruption allegations that could potentially send the former president to jail for life.

The indictment covers multiple charges, including abuse of power, extortion, bribery and leaking state secrets.

It is the latest in a series of humiliations for Park, who was driven from office by huge peaceful protests. She was impeached late last year, officially stripped of power in March and has been in a detention facility near Seoul since being arrested last month on allegations that she colluded with a confidante to extort money from businesses, take bribes and commit other wrongdoing.

Park will remain in the detention centre and taken to a Seoul court for her trial. It is expected to start within weeks and could take up to six months. It is unclear if the trial will be under way before 9 May when a special election will be held to determine her successor.

Prosecutors also indicted Shin Dong-bin, the chairman of Lotte Group, South Korea’s fifth-largest business conglomerate, on a charge of offering a bribe of 7 bn won ($6m) to Park and her confidante, Choi Soon-sil, in exchange for a lucrative government licence to open a new duty free shop.

***NEWS IS BAD FOR YOU GOYIM***

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/apr/12/news-is-bad-rolf-dobelli

In the past few decades, the fortunate among us have recognised the hazards of living with an overabundance of food (obesity, diabetes) and have started to change our diets. But most of us do not yet understand that news is to the mind what sugar is to the body. News is easy to digest. The media feeds us small bites of trivial matter, tidbits that don't really concern our lives and don't require thinking. That's why we experience almost no saturation. Unlike reading books and long magazine articles (which require thinking), we can swallow limitless quantities of news flashes, which are bright-coloured candies for the mind. Today, we have reached the same point in relation to information that we faced 20 years ago in regard to food. We are beginning to recognise how toxic news can be.

__***‘Start down the dark path you won’t’: Master Yoda asks French voters not to opt for Le Pen (VIDEO) ***__
*https://goo.gl/a7IMRW*
*RT*

Cult characters from films and cartoons, including Master Yoda, Harry Potter, and Aladdin, have popped up on posters in Paris on Monday, urging people not to vote for French far-right candidate Marine Le Pen in the presidential election.

“Don’t put her name on the ballots,” Harry Potter tells passers-by, pointing at potential voters with a wand in an apparent reference to Lord Voldemort, commonly referred to as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

“You won’t start down the dark path,” the iconic Jedi Master Yoda says, as pictured on another poster.

Another popular character, Asterix, is up in arms over the cost of fish after France – as suggested by Le Pen – leaves the Eurozone. “What?! Is that why we left the euro zone?” he wonders.

The forthcoming French presidential election will be held in France in two rounds, the first of which is due on April 23, and the second, on May 7.

__***NBC Sports: U.S. Flag at Baseball Games Too Political***__
*https://goo.gl/SmFWY4*
*NEWSBUSTERS*

Everything is political to the overly sensitive mind of today’s leftist. When the Atlanta Braves unfurled a gigantic flag for the playing of the national anthem, it prompted an ultra sensitive member of the partisan media and his Twitter followers to express a whole host of ridiculous claims.

In a Twitter post this weekend, NBC baseball writer Craig Calcaterra complained that the presentation of Old Glory evoked overly political tones. He and his like-minded comrades used the occasion to attack the flag, the military, President Trump, conservatives and the singing of God Bless America:

Will you keep politics out of sports, please? We like sports to be politics-free.”

Mark Simon hit the NBC lib right between the eyes: “This is a left-wing screed. It is not about patriotism, rather what offends your politics.” Ryan Kantor explained to Calcaterra how his complaints are viewed: “You should applaud apolitical patriotism or everyone will mistake your criticisms for anti-American rhetoric.” Cameron Darnell argued, “People die for our rights in this country, so yeah we’re gonna layout the flag. We’re also gonna have a military.”

A Maine Democrat who launched a failed state senatorial run in 2016 joked about the rising suicide rate among white males during a "Values and Vision" community meeting hosted by the Maine Democratic Party, causing others in the room to burst out laughing.

Video of onetime candidate Richard Fochtmann joking about suicide was circulated by Maine First Media on Friday, according to the Daily Caller.

"A lot of white men were committing suicide, and I almost thought, ‘***Yeah, great***,'" Fochtmann said while laughing. "Then I thought about it little more and I thought maybe I shouldn't say that out in public."

The audience can be heard laughing with the former Senate candidate.

***Venezuelans Using ‘Rare Pepes’ and Bitcoin As Currency
MEMES, THE DNA OF THE SOUL!***

http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/03/27/venezuelans-using-rare-pepes-bitcoin-currency/

Internet users in Venezuela have finally quantified what it truly means to have a rare Pepe, buying and selling Pepe-themed, bitcoin-linked trading cards as a way to escape the economic control of their socialist government.

The idea of images of the popular green frog being “rare” started off as a joke on 4chan, where users would claim that their images of Pepe were rarer and more valuable than everyone else’s. It escalated into people selling their collections of Pepe on eBay, with bids reaching up to almost $100,000 before eBay took it down.

There were never any serious transactions however, with everyone involved enjoying the ironic humour of the situation. More recently, a group of redditors have been “trading” memes of any shape and size on /r/MemeEconomy, attempting to create a stock market in meme popularity. But, it turns out that rare Pepe collecting online is now a serious business.

Sometime last year, an unknown individual began issuing “official” rare Pepe trading cards using the Counterparty platform to link them to bitcoin, in an attempt to poke fun at another online trading game called Spells of Genesis. Today, these cards can be exchanged for the equivalent of thousands of US dollars on Counterparty’s decentralised exchange.

This is due to a creation of artificial scarcity in the cards (as one would expect trading cards to have). Anyone can issue their own rare Pepes, but these are then verified by the official Rare Pepe Foundation, and linked to a certain piece of the bitcoin chain via a practice known as coin colouring. Whomsoever owns that particular bitcoin key address owns the Pepe associated with it. All verified rare Pepes can be viewed in a complete directory of them.

*THE INDEPENDENT*

Theresa May’s Conservatives are 21 points ahead of Labour in a new poll, giving the party their greatest lead while in government since 1983, shortly before Margaret Thatcher’s second victory at the ballot box.

The poll, conducted by ComRes for The Independent, gives the Tories 46 per cent of the vote share, 25 per cent for Labour, 11 per cent for Tim Farron’s pro-EU Liberal Democrats and 9 per cent for the embattled Ukip under Paul Nuttall’s leadership.

According to historic data on the UK Polling Report, it is the highest lead for any party since May 2009, when three polls gave David Cameron a 22-point lead. That was the greatest lead for a party in government since July 2001, when Labour had a 21-point lead under Tony Blair, who enjoyed three consecutive victories at the ballot box. It is the biggest lead for a Conservative party in government since 1983.

The historic lead will undoubtedly come as a fresh blow to Jeremy Corbyn’s party, which has been languishing in the polls since Ms May entered Downing Street last summer and the overwhelming vote of no confidence in his leadership by his own parliamentary colleagues. Rarely has the party been fewer than 10 points behind their Conservative rivals in this period.

One of the frontrunners in the French presidential election, far-right leader Marine Le Pen, says she would suspend all legal immigration to France.

Polls suggest she is neck and neck with centrist Emmanuel Macron, ahead of Sunday's first round of voting.

At a rally in Paris, Ms Le Pen said "I would decide on a moratorium on all legal immigration to stop this frenzy, this uncontrolled situation that is dragging us down".

After that, she said, France would introduce "much more drastic, more reasonable, more humane, more manageable rules" on immigration.

Left-wing daily Liberation called it "one of the most hardline speeches of her campaign", aimed at satisfying grassroots supporters.

U.S. Border Patrol agents are once again sounding the alarm about miles of border being left wide open and unsecured.

Breitbart Texas exclusively obtained a document showing a Havre Sector Border Patrol manager knowingly issuing orders to leave 40 miles of border open and unpatrolled.

Obama holdovers in the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency are continuing with the same careless disregard in the Trump Administration that they did under former President Obama, according to Border Patrol agents.

When Breitbart Texas asked multiple Border Patrol agents about motives for the manager leaving such a vast swath of border unpatrolled, the agents felt that it was twofold; they blamed previous Obama-era policies and they also believed that widespread corruption exists within the Havre Sector’s upper-management.

__***Here's What The Left Is Teaching Your Kids About Communism***__
*https://goo.gl/MU1oDo*
*THE DAILY WIRE*

Using a new book, the Left is now teaching kids that communism is the cure-all for capitalism.

The book, titled ***Communism for Kids***, was written by Bini Adamczak, who is from Berlin, and "writes on political theory, queer politics, and the past future of revolutions," according to The MIT Press; an English-translated version was released by MIT.

The Daily Wire read through the book so you don't have to; here's what you need to know about it.

1. ***It completely distorts capitalism and communism.*** Adamczak describes capitalism as a philosophy in which eventually "people begin to serve the things" – in other words, that people become slaves to material goods. Communism is portrayed as the antidote to this supposed form of authoritarianism. The book then provides a fictional example of how the two philosophies play out in society.

2. ***The book uses a factory as an example of the supposed evils of capitalism.*** The book frequently treats the factory as a separate entity from the workers of the factory. It is some sort of heartless monster that enjoys the profits it reaps while the workers toil away at menial jobs with little compensation for their efforts.

3. ***The people in the society convene and try to determine a form of communism that works.*** The society goes through five iterations of communism before coming across one that they think works: a society where "everyone should be able to do everything and live everywhere." The book describes this utopia as one in which people can work and converse with others whenever and wherever they want.

Trump is reviving the energy industry Obama tried to kill

Buried in an otherwise humdrum jobs report for March was the jaw-dropping pronouncement by the Labor Department that mining jobs in America were ***up by 11,000 in March***. Since the low point in October 2016 and following years of painful layoffs in the mining industry, the mining sector has added 35,000 jobs.

What a turnaround. It comes at a time when liberals have been saying that Donald Trump has been lying to the American people when he has said that he can bring coal jobs back. Well, so far he has.

There’s more good news for the coal industry. Earlier this month Peabody Coal — America’s largest coal producer — moved out of bankruptcy and its stock is actively trading again. Its market capitalization had sunk by almost 90 percent during the Obama years. Arch Coal is also out of bankruptcy.

SYDNEY (AP) — Australia's prime minister says the country will scrap a temporary visa for skilled foreign workers, arguing that Australians must be given priority for Australian jobs.

The 457 visa allows foreigners to live and work in Australia for up to four years. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Tuesday that it will be replaced with a stricter scheme that requires a criminal background check and includes tougher English language requirements. The list of occupations that qualify for the new visa will be sharply reduced.

The decision comes one day before President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order that will make changes to a visa program that brings high-skilled workers to the U.S. The White House said the current visa program undercuts American workers by bringing in cheaper labor.

__***SHAUN KING: Conservatives don't hate a golfing President, but they hated an uppity negro golfing President ***__

No President in American history has ever golfed more per week than Donald Trump. In his first 12 weeks in office Trump took a staggering 18 golf course trips. That's unheard of.

In 2013 Sean Hannity tweeted, "Glad our arrogant Pres. is enjoying his taxpayer funded golf outing after announcing the US should take military action against Syria."

The racist caricature of the "uppity negro" has deep roots in this country. Uppity negroes have irritated white folk for over a hundred years. In its most simple form, the uppity negro is a black man or woman who enjoys anything other than working from sunup to sundown.

It's why referencing Obama golfing got such a rise out of white, working-class crowds. It was a coded way to say, "How dare that uppity negro golf and enjoy leisure time while we work hard to make this country what it truly is?" Of course, they could never use those words, but I truly believe that is what they wanted to say every single time they expressed disgust and disdain seeing Obama golf.

Democrats are pumping millions into the Georgia congressional election set for Tuesday, hoping a 30-year-old political upstart who's attracting star power can deliver a rebuke to President Trump and help the party reclaim lost momentum.

Hollywood has even come out for the off-cycle vote, with actor Samuel L. Jackson cutting a radio ad urging voters to flip the seat once held by Republican Tom Price, who is now Trump's health secretary.

“Vote for the Democratic Party. Stop Donald Trump, a man who encourages racial and religious discrimination and sexism,” Jackson says in the ad, casting the race as a chance to undermine the Republican president and throwing in "Pulp Fiction" references for good measure. “We have to channel the great vengeance and fury we have for this administration into votes at the ballot box.”

Democrats tried a similar tactic last week in their failed bid for the open seat of Kansas' Mike Pompeo, arguing a win in that conservative district would prove just how eager Americans are to end Trump and fellow Republicans’ control of Washington.

             - Google has denied the claim but made no further comment

***BE A BAD GOY, PRACTICE OPSEC***

Google Hire, the Internet giant’s new recruitment tool that allows employers to manage job applications, has sparked fears that recruiters could access applicants’ entire browsing history.

Touted as a recruitment tool, like Linkedin, Google Hire would allow employers to place job ads and manage applications through the product.

The product’s sign-in page has an option to connect through a personal Google account, which has prompted fears that employers could be able to access your search history and Youtube subscriptions.

Google, however, hasn’t given much away about the new venture, so it is unclear exactly what employers will be able to search for when looking for potential hires.

The ‘Applicant-Tracking System’ (ATS) that Google uses to manage the tracking for its own job applicants has now been repurposed to create a new revenue stream for the company.

_UPDATE:_ A Google spokesperson has clarified that the site will only share information “voluntarily” provided by job candidates. “Google does not share private information such as search or viewing history. Only the information that applicants input into Google Hire will be shared – for example, first name, last name, email address, resume, cover letter, etc.,” the spokesperson told RT.com.

It was a photo finish in the “jungle primary” special election in Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District on Tuesday to select a replacement for Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), punctuated by unusual technical reporting delays from Fulton County, the largest county in the district.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, thirty-year-old Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff fell just short of the 50-percent-plus-one vote total he needed to avoid a June runoff with the GOP’s Karen Handel, the former Georgia Secretary of State who finished in a distant second.

CNN declared the race a runoff between Ossoff and Handel shortly after midnight.

At 12:09 a.m. President Trump tweeted, “Despite major outside money, FAKE media support and eleven Republican candidates, Big “R” win with runoff in Georgia. Glad to be of help!”

With 177 of 210 precincts reporting as of 12:25 a.m. eastern on Wednesday morning, the Associated Press results had Ossoff in first place with 49 percent of the vote, followed by the GOP’s Karen Handel in second at 19 percent, and the GOP’s Bob Gray in third place and out of the runoff election with 10 percent.

The progressive movement is easily defeated on the battlefield of ideas, where conservatives are stocked with ample ammunition in the form of logic and reason. There's no need to create and disseminate fictions about our opponents.

More than simply being childish, such behavior always backfires. When the fraud is eventually revealed, Republicans and conservatives at large become the target of public scorn. This furthers the progressive narrative that conservatives are liars who resort to smear attacks because their ideas cannot stand up to scrutiny.

Rather than dive into a lose-lose situation, let's stick to the truth, and win with integrity. Also - check around for more than five seconds before sharing a meme.

French police say they have foiled an imminent attack leading up to the presidential election, with the arrest of two men in Marseille on Tuesday. Explosives and multiple weapons were found at the suspects' flat in the southern port city.

The two Frenchmen, one born in 1987 and the other in 1993, had met while sharing a prison cell and were known to police as having converted to radical Islam, Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins said at a press conference.

In addition to a machine gun and two handguns, Molins added that an Islamic State group flag was also found in the apartment where the two suspects were arrested.

French Interior Minister Matthias Fekl underscored to reporters that the two were "suspected of wanting to imminently commit a violent act on the eve of the French presidential election."

Anti-terror police and agents from France’s domestic intelligence agency conducted the arrests.

__***Russia claims it can wipe out entire US Navy with a single ‘electronic bomb’ in bizarre propaganda report***__

RUSSIA has claimed it can disable the entire US Navy in one fell swoop using powerful electronic signal jamming.

A news report from the country – where the media is essentially controlled by the state – said the technology could render planes, ships and missiles useless.

The newsreader says: “Today, our Russian Electronic Warfare (REW) troops can detect and neutralise any target from a ship’s system and a radar, to a satellite.”

The news report claims a single Russian war plane flew several times around American destroyer the USS Donald Cook in the Black Sea several years ago, disabling its systems and leaving it helpless.

The report also claims they are capable to creating electronic jamming domes over their bases that make them invisible on radar screens.
