Since then, top-ranking law enforcement officers and policymakers have debated the impact of the so-called “Ferguson effect” — officers becoming less proactive in their policing out of a fear their actions will be second-guessed by their superiors and the public.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.9rem; padding: 0px;">The wide-ranging, national survey — which includes feedback from 8,000 officers and sheriff’s deputies — quantifies just how pervasive the issue has become in departments across the U.S. in the aftermath of a series of controversial deadly encounters between police and African-American suspects. High-profile incidents in Ferguson, Mo., Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Chicago and elsewhere have spurred public protest, and cut deep rifts between police and minorities in some communities. The survey suggests that the impact has been just as deep on the morale of rank-and-file police officers.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.9rem; padding: 0px;">“Within America’s police and sheriff’s departments ... the ramifications of these deadly encounters have been less visible than the public protests, but no less profound,” according to the Pew report.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.9rem; padding: 0px;">Three-quarters of officers say the incidents have increased tensions between police and black residents in their communities.

Smith, who authorities say goes by the alias “Band-Aid,” was charged by warrant Monday with being a felon in possession of a firearm and misdemeanor bail jumping.<br /><br />Two Superior brothers were shot outside the Third Base Bar at about 7:30 a.m. on Jan. 1. Kyle Androsky, 21, died from his wounds. David Androsky, 27, is recovering after being hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the chest.<br /><br />Smith remained in the St. Louis County Jail in Duluth on Wednesday afternoon. He has been held there since Jan. 4 on an alleged probation violation stemming from a prior criminal case in western Minnesota.<br /><br />Douglas County District Attorney Mark Fruehauf announced the charges in a statement Wednesday morning. He and representatives of the office declined to offer additional information, including whether Smith could face additional charges.<br /><br />Smith is being held without bail at the Duluth jail and must be extradited to face the charges in Wisconsin. Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Bork did not have a timeline for that process, but said she hoped it would occur soon.<br /><br />“When you get other jurisdictions involved, there are just too many variables,” she said.<br /><br />The warrant was authorized Monday by Douglas County Circuit Judge George Glonek, allowing prosecutors to begin the process of having Smith transferred to Wisconsin.<br /><br />Superior police officers were called to the alley behind the Third Base Bar, 1218 Tower Ave., on the morning of Jan. 1 and said they found Kyle Androsky dead from a gunshot wound. David Androsky was located inside a bathroom in the bar with a gunshot wound to his chest.<br /><br />According to the criminal complaint, witnesses said at least two shots were fired after Kyle Androsky had an argument with several men near a dumpster outside the rear door of the bar. Police said the altercation had started inside the bar and spilled outside.<br /><br />Witnesses said one of the men kicked Kyle Androsky, and another man was seen with a gun, according to the complaint.<br /><br />Two bullets and two shell casings were found outside the bar, according to police.<br /><br />Prosecutors said the identification was aided by video from a body camera worn by a Superior police officer who had walked through the bar about five hours before the shooting. A witness who saw Smith holding the firearm in the alley was able to identify him in the video, according to the complaint.<br /><br />Smith was already in St. Louis County custody when the warrant was issued, having been arrested by Duluth police officers and St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office deputies on Jan. 4.<br /><br />Authorities said he had falsely informed his probation officer that he was working at a Proctor recycling facility. But the agent discovered that he had only applied there at one point and was not employed.<br /><br />Smith remains on probation in Traverse County, Minn., where he pleaded guilty in 2013 to third-degree assault.<br /><br />Court documents filed there allege that he assaulted and threatened his wife on numerous occasions. In one incident, he allegedly slammed her into a wall and punched her; another time he told her was arranging to have his cousins kill her, according to the documents.<br /><br />Smith received a stay of imposition in the case, but later served jail time after admitting to violating his probation by contacting the victim. Judge Charles Glasrud on Friday revoked the stay and issued an arrest warrant as a result of the newest probation violation.<br /><br />Smith also has two active arrest warrants in Douglas County for failing to appear on charges of violating an order for protection, resisting an officer and bail jumping.<br /><br />A funeral service was held Monday for Kyle Androsky, a 2013 graduate of Superior High School.<br /><br />David Androsky, who had been hospitalized at Essentia Health-St. Mary’s Medical Center in Duluth, returned home to continue his recovery on Sunday, according to an update posted on a GoFundMe page maintained by the family.<br /><br />“David is happy to be making progress,” the family wrote. “Today was some great news. Lots of pain and healing in the future but for now, some happiness!”Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497373447295320803.post-25182505439446982272017-01-12T03:43:00.000-08:002017-01-12T06:21:36.272-08:00Judge: Homes Are Blowing Up from 'Blasting' Marijuana, a Risky Business<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivKN8OBgmzwXMEaH6iQnXLAWvbafBpbhuWw6jLpibfDkwazZbvw9rmhPTLdZqMhsuZsCcSoPjOI7egXGMNR8fWv_CccbcVnzXZ_8Cr_pxKgMo99VllvrRguxhV_iB3nFTcaJPZqfoOZU4/s1600/fire-explosion-home.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivKN8OBgmzwXMEaH6iQnXLAWvbafBpbhuWw6jLpibfDkwazZbvw9rmhPTLdZqMhsuZsCcSoPjOI7egXGMNR8fWv_CccbcVnzXZ_8Cr_pxKgMo99VllvrRguxhV_iB3nFTcaJPZqfoOZU4/s640/fire-explosion-home.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">The writer served as a 52nd District Court judge in Novi and assistant state attorney general.

The home at 52600 Butternut was on fire. The 2010 census placed Shelby Township in Macomb County as one of the most affluent communities in the state of Michigan. It is not the type of place one would expect to find an illegal drug lab. So shock of the explosion was not the only surprise awaiting the neighborhood.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">According to an informed source, the explosion was the result of an illegal manufacturing process that converts marijuana plants into Butane Hash Oil (BHO). In order to manufacture BHO, marijuana plants are placed into a tube and then heated with butane. This isolates THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, creating something that looks like ear wax. </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">This process is called blasting and the people who manufacture BHOs are called blasters. Richard Corneil was allegedly blasting that night on Butternut Drive.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">Blasting is very profitable. A pound of trim, the least usable part of the marijuana plant, yields about 45 grams of BHO which averages between 70 to 90% percent pure THC. It is then sold under a number of different names; dabs, budder, shatter, ear wax or honey oil. The average price for marijuana buds range between $15 and $20 per gram, whereas BHO averages a cost between $70 and $100 a gram.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">Considering that a gram of gold had a commodities market price of $37.21 on Dec. 29, BHO is worth almost three times more than gold.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">The marijuana market reaction was quick: "We have been seeing an emergence of dabs over the last three years," said John Stogner, an assistant professor of criminal justice and criminology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. "It is really exploding onto the drug-use scene.”</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;"><big style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Risky Business</span></big></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">Blasting gets it name because, like handling dynamite, it is very dangerous. Butane gas can fill a room with its vapors and the smallest spark can cause an explosion. That is what happened on Butternut Drive. </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">This was not an isolated incident. One study found 94 percent of BHO explosions occurred in residential settings. In 2014, the first year, that possession of recreational marijuana was legal in Colorado, there were 32 BHO house explosions, a167 percent increase from the prior year. The two of the other states that has legalized recreational marijuana, Washington, and Oregon have also reported of an increase in BHO explosions.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">There are no statistics for BHO explosions in Michigan, but a set of Google searches suggests that there has been about a dozen confirmed blasts in 2016. In January, in Grand Rapids, two men, were injured -- one critically -- while they were blasting BHO, and in the City of Litchfield, two men blew up an apartment. In February, in Saginaw, three men were critically injured in a BHO explosion.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">In March, in Brandon Township, a twenty-year-old man was rushed to the hospital suffering burns after a BHO explosion in his mobile home. In July, in Warren, in two separate incidents,a house and then a pole barn grow house burned. In September, in Niles Township a house burned to the ground. In October in Summit Township, firefighters from three communities fought a house fire that started in medical marijuana card holder’s basement and in Battle Creek, firefighters found a marijuana grow house on fire.In the city of Wayne, a man was critically injured when his garage exploded. This December, in Muskegon Township, a BHO explosion in the kitchen blew the front windows of a house.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><big style="box-sizing: border-box;">Legal Now Under State Law</big></span></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">This list does not count the unexplained explosions that happened in two marijuana grow houses at the former KI Sawyer Air Force base in the Upper Peninsula, and in Taylor last month. Nor does it include marijuana-related fires in the city of Detroit. </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">Until December, possession and manufacture of BHOs were illegal in Michigan. However, the Legislature amended the medical marijuana law so it i's now iegal to make BHOs in Michigan if you have a medical marijuana card. </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">Other than a vague requirement that the manufacture not be “reckless,” there are no real restrictions. The law also creates a regulatory framework that can limit the amount of THC in a resin, but it didn't set guidelines.</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">Even if a good regulatory scheme can be developed in a timely manner, the problem of enforcement will be immense. How will a police officer be able to tell the difference between resin that contains 25 percent THC and one that contains 90 percent?</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">Given the profit margins for BHOs, the legislature’s allowance of BHO manufacturing and the problems in enforcing the new law, the number homes that are blasted in 2017 are very likely to increase. </div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><big style="box-sizing: border-box;"></big></span></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px !important; margin-bottom: 10px;">As for Richard Corneil, he is currently facing charges of manufacturing marijuana in Macomb County Circuit Court.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497373447295320803.post-8081545075043447122017-01-12T03:40:00.000-08:002017-01-12T06:21:36.285-08:00Let the Lawless Negroes & Illegal Beaners have CHICAGO! - Letter: "I'm leaving Chicago, and I'm never coming back - — Brandon Vezmar, Hammond, president, The Messaging Company"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>When Rahm Emanuel panders, caters and grovels to the minorities... the city loses its power to enforce the laws and protect society</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgr1loQmw9uYBjcpJDKJc56o4ZteSNZbaywms2yUKaarZ1Si6KizWqzCuLFLCJifurdfVGLyFF5UGCQU9iIwNN6Ed4D5-dZbipmDXHv-usDBC5815p1ls1y9mz_XEOvBlrgOr4oZ4-3oU/s1600/alert-BLACK-VIOLENCE-CRIME.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgr1loQmw9uYBjcpJDKJc56o4ZteSNZbaywms2yUKaarZ1Si6KizWqzCuLFLCJifurdfVGLyFF5UGCQU9iIwNN6Ed4D5-dZbipmDXHv-usDBC5815p1ls1y9mz_XEOvBlrgOr4oZ4-3oU/s640/alert-BLACK-VIOLENCE-CRIME.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>I grew up in the Chicago area and from a young age loved Chicago with a passion. As a teenager, my home was in Hammond, but I took the South Shore Line train to the city every chance I could get. I eventually went to college downtown and lived in the city, off and on, for another three years. Although for the last several years I’ve lived in the inland Northwest and Texas, I’ve still come back several times a year to visit family and have always taken trips into the city, often daily, when I do.<br /><br />For the last three-quarters of a year, I’ve been in the Chicago area on extended business and to care for my mother, who has been undergoing cancer treatment. In that time I’ve come to understand that Chicago, and its surrounding areas, have become hell on Earth for any thinking person with a modicum of self-respect.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 32px; text-align: center;">This has become an insane, dangerous, soul-destroying place, and I’ve had enough.</span><br /><br />The caustic combination of corrupt politicians with nothing but contempt for the public; a police force so broken down in spirit it visibly resents interaction with even law-abiding citizens; a criminal underclass empowered by the incessant drone of liberal rhetoric wandering the streets posing clear and present danger to everyone around them; and the enablers, who are everywhere, to say nothing of the ugly, decaying infrastructure, poor economy and joyless entertainment and leisure opportunities — it is for these reasons I have made the decision to disconnect forever.<br /><br />Although in the last eight months I’ve been a victim of two area property thefts, three downtown street harassment episodes, one brazen Michigan Avenue assault, and a shameful “white privilege” lecture from Cook County’s soda-taxer in chief (among other just simply bad day-to-day experiences), it is the kidnapping and torture of the young teen and the waffling response of the Chicago Police Department in labeling the actions of the perpetrators a hate crime that have sealed the deal for me.<br /><br />Crime, stupidity, racism, conformity and the lowest common denominator across the entire spectrum of life have become normalized in Chicago. This has become an insane, dangerous, soul-destroying place, and I’ve had enough. I’m leaving Chicago, and I’m never coming back.<br /><br />— Brandon Vezmar, Hammond, president, The Messaging CompanyUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497373447295320803.post-56515688619808314602017-01-12T03:35:00.000-08:002017-01-12T06:21:36.298-08:00An "Emanuel Glitch" in Chicago city worker health insurance leaves them without coverage for now but Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Wife And Kids not affected<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBlH0h0VYU_IAVTghtwilDIrFNECwvfp6XYE7pvF_W_O6SQKZF4Zv4p2-FL9FmnvTV54A0Zmo52ZjJs-sMJ4bRH38UaQpyfENvKhl4gwDBW7W2hgd8t6i1Wfrbz7jrKCY8Uys-yml6X4U/s1600/ct-rahm-emanuel-chicagoland-met-20140425.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBlH0h0VYU_IAVTghtwilDIrFNECwvfp6XYE7pvF_W_O6SQKZF4Zv4p2-FL9FmnvTV54A0Zmo52ZjJs-sMJ4bRH38UaQpyfENvKhl4gwDBW7W2hgd8t6i1Wfrbz7jrKCY8Uys-yml6X4U/s320/ct-rahm-emanuel-chicagoland-met-20140425.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Some city employees who have gone to doctors and pharmacists since the start of the New Year have been told they no longer have health insurance, a mistake in the automatic renewal process that City Hall officials said Wednesday would soon be corrected.<br /><br />"The city's health care vendors reported a technical error to the city's benefits division last week and are working to correct the error," city spokeswoman Mary Kay Accurso said in a prepared statement, adding that it affected both HMO and PPO members. "These employee insurance plans remain active, and there should be no issues accessing coverage once the issue is resolved."<br /><br />The problem became public when someone anonymously posted on a Chicago police blog about being turned away from a doctor's office and also being told by a pharmacy worker that his wife's $10 co-pay for generic heart medication would now cost him $590. Others weighed in with similar experiences, identifying Blue Cross-Blue Shield as the insurer.<br /><br />A Blue Cross spokeswoman did not answer questions about how many employees were affected, how the mistake occurred or when the issue would be remedied. She suggested those with questions should call the phone number on their insurance card.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-chicago-employee-insurance-glitch-met-0112-20170111-story.html" target="_blank">CLICK FOR MORE</a></b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497373447295320803.post-60480783251798560182017-01-12T03:26:00.000-08:002017-01-12T06:21:36.311-08:00Gang Banging Illegal Beaners take over once Polock held Brighton Park - Chicago Ald.

Raymond Lopez, 15th, who spoke briefly to reporters.<br /><br />After the shooting, the Toyota sped away, making it to the parking lot at Archer and Western avenues, where paramedics were called to the scene.<br /><br />One person, an 18-year-old man, was pronounced dead on the scene inside the car, police said.<br /><br />Four others were shot in the attack. A 22-year-old man was shot in the face and an 18-year-old was shot in the back. Both were listed in critical condition. In addition, a 25-year-old man was shot in the arm and his condition was stabilized. All three were taken to Stroger Hospital for treatment.<br /><br />A 21-year-old man was shot in the finger in the same attack and went to Mount Sinai Hospital. His condition was stabilized.<br /><br />Some of the victims are members of the Satan Disciples street gang, and the attackers are believed to be members of the rival Latin Saints, according to a law enforcement source. The source confirmed that the shooters used a .223 caliber rifle.<br /><br />Police found nearly 30 shell casings at the scene on Talman, which is across the street from an elementary school, Lopez said.<br /><br />"This is proof positive that weapons of warlike assault weapons and assault rifles ... do not belong on our streets. ... Any one of our children, any one of our families could have been impacted,'' Lopez said. "This is unacceptable."<br /><br />Wednesday's fatal shooting followed a shooting in Brighton Park last month that left two dead and two injured at the 4300 block of South Rockwell. Lopez said he believes the two shootings are related.<br /><br />Following that shooting, Lopez urged the city to shut down a local grocery store and taco stand connected to the shooting.<br /><br />About a block from the elementary school, Charmaine Overman was standing on her porch waiting to see if anything would unfold.<br /><br />The 55-year-old woman said she was concerned her neighbors car was hit during the gunfire. She wasn't home when the shooting happened but said she saw her neighbor talking to police when she got home.<br /><br />Overman, who grew up in the same house, said she would consider moving if the violence continues to escalate.<br /><br />"We've always been a really diverse neighborhood. Always had a lot of nationalities, but it just seems recently for whatever reason, there seems to be a lot more shootings."<br /><br />Earlier, a 13-year-old boy who was shot in the back in the Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side was one of six people wounded in the city on Wednesday afternoon.<br /><br />The boy was shot in the 3500 block of West 16th Street around 3:15 p.m., according to preliminary reports from police. The boy was standing outside when a vehicle pulled up, and someone fired shots.<br /><br />Police said the boy was in serious condition at Mount Sinai Hospital.<br /><b><a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-shootings-violence-20170111-story.html" target="_blank"><br /></a></b><b><a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-shootings-violence-20170111-story.html" target="_blank">CLICK FOR MORE SHOOTINGS</a></b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497373447295320803.post-79335401294273264682017-01-12T03:03:00.000-08:002017-01-12T03:06:52.992-08:00What Does The Future Hold For 'Average Joes'?

Είχε προηγηθεί τηλεφωνική επικοινωνία των δύο σε πολύ καλό κλίμα.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Σύμφωνα με ασφαλείς πληροφορίες της «Εφ.Συν.», το πιθανότερο σενάριο είναι η κ. Γεννηματά και ο κ. Παπανδρέου να δώσουν τα χέρια, προκειμένου να συνεργαστούν στο πλαίσιο της Δημοκρατικής Συμπαράταξης.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Ως βάση θα χρησιμοποιηθεί το μοντέλο της διατήρησης της αυτονομίας του κάθε συμμετέχοντος, όπως ήδη συμβαίνει με το ΠΑΣΟΚ, τη ΔΗΜΑΡ και τις Κινήσεις Πολιτών για τη Σοσιαλδημοκρατία. Αυτή εξάλλου, ο σεβασμός δηλαδή στην αυτοτέλεια του κάθε συνεργαζόμενου φορέα, θεωρείται και η μοναδική προϋπόθεση που θα θέσει η πλευρά του ΚΙΔΗΣΟ και η οποία θα γίνει αποδεκτή εκ μέρους της αρχηγού του ΠΑΣΟΚ.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Μάλιστα, από χθες το βράδυ τα δύο επιτελεία είχαν αρχίσει να επεξεργάζονται ένα κοινό ανακοινωθέν το οποίο -στην περίπτωση που κλειδώσει η συμφωνία- θα αναφέρεται στην ανάγκη σύμπλευσης των προοδευτικών δυνάμεων της χώρας και της διαμόρφωσης ενός άξονα προγραμματικών θέσεων, χωρίς άλλα προαπαιτούμενα.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Υπό την έννοια αυτή, θα πρέπει να κριθεί ως λογική εξέλιξη των προσεχών μηνών η διεξαγωγή του συνεδρίου για τη μετεξέλιξη της Δημοκρατικής Συμπαράταξης σε ενιαίο φορέα, που προγραμματίζεται για την άνοιξη του 2017, καθώς και η εκλογή ηγεσίας του νέου σχήματος, το οποίο θα προσομοιάζει στη δομή που είχε ο ΣΥΡΙΖΑ την εποχή των συνιστωσών.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Σημαντική λεπτομέρεια που φανερώνει τις προσεκτικές κινήσεις που προηγήθηκαν, με σκοπό να τηρηθούν οι εύθραυστες εσωκομματικές ισορροπίες και να μην αναβιώσουν παλιά πάθη, είναι το ότι η πλευρά του Ευάγγελου Βενιζέλου φαίνεται να έχει αποδεχθεί την εκ νέου «συγκατοίκηση» με τον Γιώργο Παπανδρέου.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Εκδήλωση</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Τούτων δοθέντων, το Σάββατο στη μία το μεσημέρι, στην εκδήλωση που πραγματοποιείται με πρωτοβουλία της Φώφης Γεννηματά και όπου θα πάρουν μέρος πρώην και νυν ευρωβουλευτές του ΠΑΣΟΚ από το 1974 μέχρι σήμερα, θα παραβρεθούν και όλα τα στελέχη του ΚΙΔΗΣΟ που είχαν ακολουθήσει τον Γιώργο Παπανδρέου.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Για τη Χαριλάου Τρικούπη, η εν λόγω ευρεία συνάντηση κρίνεται ιδιαιτέρως κομβική τόσο σε συμβολικό όσο και σε ουσιαστικό επίπεδο για την επιτυχία του εγχειρήματος της ανασυγκρότησης και διεύρυνσης της Δημοκρατικής Συμπαράταξης. Στόχος είναι να σηματοδοτηθεί η σύμπνοια και πολιτική επανένωση απέναντι στον διασκορπισμό δυνάμεων των τελευταίων ετών.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Ανώτατες κομματικές πηγές εξέφραζαν μεγάλη ικανοποίηση από τη μέχρι στιγμής ανταπόκριση στις προσκλήσεις που έχουν αποσταλεί, αφού κύριος γνώμονας της μεθαυριανής συνάθροισης σε κεντρικό ξενοδοχείο είναι να σταλεί ένα μήνυμα ενότητας, συσπείρωσης και διαχρονικής συνέχειας όλων των «φυλών» και πτερύγων του Κινήματος.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Οι ίδιες πηγές σημείωναν ότι με αυτές τις εξελίξεις αποδυναμώνεται αισθητά, κυρίως σε επικοινωνιακό επίπεδο, η απόπειρα των τριών πρώην υπουργών του ΠΑΣΟΚ (Αννας Διαμαντοπούλου, Γιάννη Ραγκούση και Γιώργου Φλωρίδη) να κάνουν την Κυριακή από τη Θεσσαλονίκη το πρώτο βήμα για την ίδρυση νέου φορέα του κέντρου.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">«Η Δημοκρατική Συμπαράταξη ήταν και παραμένει ο βασικός πυλώνας στην Κεντροαριστερά γύρω από τον οποίο θα δομηθεί η προσπάθεια ανάκαμψης της ευρύτερης παράταξης», σχολίαζαν με νόημα από τη Χαριλάου Τρικούπη. Πάντως, την εκδήλωση των τριών φαίνεται να βλέπει θετικά το Ποτάμι και θα παραβρεθεί με τον βουλευτή του, Γρηγόρη Ψαριανό.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Τέλος, ανάλογη επικοινωνία είχε η Φώφη Γεννηματά και με τον πρώην πρωθυπουργό Κώστα Σημίτη, ο οποίος αν και σε γενικές γραμμές είναι υποστηρικτικός, ενδεχομένως να μην παραστεί το Σάββατο.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Από αύριο το ΠΑΣΟΚ εισέρχεται σε ένα τριήμερο πυκνών γεγονότων, αφού παράλληλα την Παρασκευή το απόγευμα συνεδριάζει το Πολιτικό Συμβούλιο και η Κ.Ο. του ΠΑΣΟΚ και την Κυριακή η Κεντρική του Επιτροπή...</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">efsyn.gr</span></div>oussama fahdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15638666119325678796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497373447295320803.post-38221301971234685102017-01-12T02:42:00.000-08:002017-01-12T02:57:44.879-08:00Βέλγιο: Νέες συλλήψεις υπόπτων...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img alt="Βέλγιο: Νέες συλλήψεις υπόπτων για τις επιθέσεις σε Παρίσι και Βρυξέλλες - Media" height="399" src="http://www.topontiki.gr/sites/default/files/styles/article_main/public/article/2017-01/belgio_astynomia.jpg?itok=i1_ZEVaE" width="640" /><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>για τις επιθέσεις σε Παρίσι και Βρυξέλλες...</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Οι βελγικές αρχές συνέλαβαν δύο ακόμη υπόπτους στο πλαίσιο της έρευνας για τις...</span><br /><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"> επιθέσεις στο Παρίσι με 130 νεκρούς, στις 13 Νοεμβρίου 2015, την ευθύνη για τις οποίες έχει αναλάβει το Ισλαμικό Κράτος, ανακοίνωσε σήμερα ο γενικός εισαγγελέας της χώρας.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Η εισαγγελία ανακοίνωσε ότι η αστυνομία συνέλαβε έναν άνδρα και μία γυναίκα χθες Τετάρτη στη διάρκεια εφόδου σε σπίτι.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">"Θεωρούνται ύποπτοι ότι προμήθευσαν στον Χαλίντ Ελ Μπακράουι τα πλαστά έγγραφα, τα οποία στη συνέχεια χρησιμοποίησε για τις επιθέσεις στο Παρίσι", αναφέρει σε ανακοίνωσή της η εισαγγελία.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Ο Μπακράουι εμπλέκεται στον σχεδιασμό των επιθέσεων στο Παρίσι και στην επίθεση αυτοκτονίας στο μετρό των Βρυξελλών που εξαπέλυσε τον περασμένο Μάρτιο στο πλαίσιο συντονισμένων επιθέσεων με 32 νεκρούς, ανακοίνωσαν οι εισαγγελείς.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Ο Μπακράουι είχε νοικιάσει με ψευδή στοιχεία ένα διαμέρισμα στον δήμο Φόρεστ των Βρυξελλών όπου η αστυνομία που αναζητούσε τον ύποπτο Σαλάχ Αμπντεσλάμ είχε πραγματοποιήσει έφοδο εβδομάδες πριν από τις επιθέσεις στη βελγική πρωτεύουσα σκοτώνοντας έναν ύποπτο τζιχανιστή.

Γνωστό και κατανοητό. Ετσι...</span><br /><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"> έμαθαν, έτσι θέλουν να συνεχίσουν. Πριν από λίγες ημέρες η Ενωση Ιδιωτικών Τηλεοπτικών Σταθμών Εθνικής Εμβέλειας προσέφυγε στο Συμβούλιο της Επικρατείας για το ζήτημα. Κι αυτό γνωστό και αναμενόμενο. Θα εξαντλήσουν κάθε νομική δυνατότητα ώστε να αποφύγουν εκείνο που δεν θέλουν. Το έχουν αποδείξει και στο παρελθόν.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Τι είναι, όμως, εκείνο που θέλουν να προστατεύσουν; Τον εαυτό τους ή κάτι άλλο;</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Πριν από μερικούς μήνες, όταν ο νόμος Παππά για τις τηλεοπτικές άδειες ήταν σε εφαρμογή, οι ίδιοι άνθρωποι που σήμερα προσφεύγουν στο ΣτΕ κατά των δηλώσεων «πόθεν έσχες» δέχτηκαν να καταθέσουν, κατ’ επιταγήν του νόμου, πλήρη κατάλογο περιουσιακών στοιχείων για να συμμετάσχουν στον διαγωνισμό για τις τηλεοπτικές άδειες. Γιατί τώρα έχουν αντίρρηση να πράξουν κάτι ανάλογο;</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Οπως αποδεικνύεται από την αίτησή τους προς το ανώτατο δικαστήριο, την οποία αποκαλύπτουμε σήμερα, εκείνο που μάλλον ενδιαφέρει τους καναλάρχες είναι να προστατεύσουν τα στελέχη τους καθώς υπόχρεοι των δηλώσεων «πόθεν έσχες» δεν είναι μόνο οι ίδιοι, αλλά και οι υπόλοιπες κεφαλές των εταιρειών τους (μέτοχοι, μέλη Δ.Σ., διαχειριστές, διευθυντικά στελέχη κ.ά.).</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Για να προστατεύσουν όλους αυτούς, τα αφεντικά στον χώρο της τηλεοπτικής ενημέρωσης επιστρατεύουν μια σειρά από προκλητικά γελοία επιχειρήματα. Κάνουν λόγο για παραβίαση της επαγγελματικής ελευθερίας, επικαλούνται το σύστημα της ελεύθερης οικονομίας, μιλούν για ενδεχόμενη σημαντική βλάβη της εντιμότητας και της ακεραιότητας που ενδεχομένως θα υποστούν αυτοί και τα στελέχη τους.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Αν όντως σοβαρολογούν, με το δικό τους σκεπτικό δεν θα πρέπει να ελέγχεται κανένας Ελληνας πολίτης για την πηγή των εισοδημάτων του. Εκτός και αν αυτοί οι κύριοι θεωρούν πως πρέπει να διαφέρουν από τη μεγάλη πλειονότητα του ελληνικού λαού.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Πολύ φοβούμαστε πως όλη αυτή η επιχείρηση του τηλεοπτικού συστήματος να εμποδίσει την εφαρμογή του «πόθεν έσχες» έχει δύο βασικές στοχεύσεις: Προφανώς δεν μπορούν να δικαιολογήσουν τις περιουσίες που απέκτησαν, γιατί μάλλον σε αυτή την υπόθεση υπάρχει αρκετό αδήλωτο χρήμα. Ταυτόχρονα, δεν θέλουν να κλείσει η στρόφιγγα αυτού του χρήματος για το μέλλον. Αυτή τη φορά δεν πρέπει να γίνει το δικό τους...</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">efsyn.gr</span></div>oussama fahdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15638666119325678796noreply@blogger.com0
