"Authorities warn scam uses public USB chargers to steal private information" by Drew Jones Washington Post, November 23, 2019
Many thoughts can go through your mind at the airport as your phone’s battery dwindles from green to yellow to red. How is it already dead? What if I can’t call Uber when I land? Where is my charger? But when you find a place to plug in and charge, it may not be as simple — or safe — as you think.
The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office is warning travelers using Los Angeles International Airport of a new scheme targeting people who need a quick boost at public USB charging stations. The USB charging scam, also known as ‘‘juice jacking,” involves hackers spoofing charging stations to steal information.
Similar to credit-card skimming, fake charging stations are set up via port or cable, and unknowing users who plug into them expose their devices to malware attacks that can lock their devices and export sensitive contents such as passwords and bank account numbers into the hands of waiting information thieves.....
Meaning the U.S. government and the tech companies it works hand in glove with, as well as allies like Israel and Britain.

Went to the grocery store for more on page A16:
"When the only grocery in a deep red town closed, the city opened its own store. Just don’t call it ‘socialism.’ by Antonia Noori Farzan Washington Post, November 23, 2019
BALDWIN, Fla. — Abandoned by mainstream supermarkets whose business models don’t have room for low profit margins, both urban and rural communities nationwide have turned to resident-owned co-ops or nonprofits to fill the gap, but Baldwin is trying something different. At the Baldwin Market, which opened its doors on Sept. 20, all of the employees are on the municipal payroll, from the butcher to the cashiers. Workers from the town’s maintenance department take breaks from cutting grass to help unload deliveries, and residents flag down the mayor when they want to request a specific type of milk.
‘‘We’re not trying to make a profit,’’ Mayor Sean Lynch said in a recent interview. ‘‘We’re trying to cover our expenses, and keep the store running. Any money that’s made after that will go into the town in some way.’’
Though Lynch knew of no other municipally owned grocery stores when he brought the idea to the Town Council, Baldwin isn’t alone. A similar experiment is underway in St. Paul, Kansas, which has had a city-run grocery store since 2013. David Procter, who directs the Rural Grocery Initiative at Kansas State University, said that another city-owned grocery store will open in Caney, Kansas, in the spring, and at least one other town in the state is considering following suit.
Many small-town grocers are reaching retirement age, and it’s tough for communities with dwindling populations to attract new residents when there’s no supermarket nearby. Consequently, Procter says, ‘‘Food access becomes almost like a utility that you have to have for the town to exist.’’
I'm going to stop in the WaComPost aisle for a minute there and just ponder how government's record regarding regulation of utilities and all the ince$tuous corruption that is inbred in those halls.
This is almost like AntiChrist/End Times stuff where the government controls the supply of food. The same government that overlooks GMOs, chemical pesticides, and fertilizer potions leaking into the soil and water, etc.
I get what they are driving at in the article. It's making the Third Worldization and gentrification of America commonplace and "normal" as we become Romania.
I don't have any answers for you other than to grow your garden for as long as they allow you.
Notably, these experiments in communal ownership are taking place in deep-red parts of the country where the word ‘‘socialism’’ is anathema. “You expect to hear about this in a place like the People’s Republic of Massachusetts,” joked Brian Lang, the director of the National Campaign for Healthy Food Access at The Food Trust, but in many rural, conservative communities struggling to hang on to their remaining residents, ideological arguments about the role of government tend to be cast aside as grocery stores shutter due to population decline and competition from superstores.
‘‘Fundamentally, what you have is people that have lived in these rural communities all their lives, and they want these rural communities to survive,’’ Procter said. “And they realize that without access to food, they’re not going to survive.”
I once again stop to ponder the inane statements and insults coming out of the WaComPo's pie hole. I don't think hunger is a joke here in the "People's Republic of Ma$$achu$etts." The fact is, the state government is nothing more than a corporate kleptocracy with the politicians running interference for them.
As for access to food in the rural conservative communities (what is with the endless stereotyping by the jew$paper anyway?), I will simply point out that where do you think the food is grown? As a proud and embarrassed member of such a community, there are still a couple of local family farm stands where you can get great produce. I know most of the nation's heartland is all Big Agra, but the contradiction in the agenda-pushing swill remains untouched.
By definition, a collectively owned, government-run enterprise like the Baldwin Market is inherently socialist, but Lynch, who has a nonpartisan position but governs a town where 68 percent of residents voted for Donald Trump in 2016, doesn’t see it that way. From his point of view, the town is just doing what it’s supposed to do: providing services to residents who already pay enough in taxes.
I agree with that last statement; however, I no longer know what the terms socialist, conservative, liberal, right, left, etc, etc, mean anymore. Such things are thrown around and thrown out there so often they have become devoid of meaning. They are meant to frame your perception, nothing more. They have no connection with ongoing reality at all.
Some might even call it FAKE NEWS!
‘‘We take the water out of the ground and we pump it to your house and charge you,’’ he said. ‘‘So what’s the difference with a grocery store?’’
Well, I present Flint and Newark as exhibit A and B.
Good luck with the food.
With quiet streets, 11 churches, and a water tower that dominates the horizon, Baldwin has more in common with the farming communities to its west than with downtown Jacksonville to its east. About 12 years ago, local officials who were desperate for a supermarket agreed to build a store on a vacant lot the town owned so that they’d have an easier time attracting grocers. That solution worked until 2018, when the IGA shut down.
The town tried to find another tenant, but the 10,000-square-foot store was too small for a Winn-Dixie or Walmart, and too big for mom-and-pop grocers. Raising property taxes was a non-starter, which meant that so, too, was luring retailers with generous incentives.
No one wanted to bet on a brick-and-mortar that has to bribe Big Bu$ine$$ to come to town.
Lynch, a retired Navy veteran who grew up in New York, moved to Baldwin with his family in the 1980s when he was stationed in Jacksonville. They decided to stay for the strong public schools and small-town feel, and, after getting out of the service, Lynch went into the restaurant business. Already familiar with drawing up business plans and negotiating with suppliers, he didn’t find it too much of a stretch to do the same for the shuttered grocery store when it closed last year.
Over the summer, after holding several workshops, the Town Council approved a $150,000 loan from a reserve fund to get the Baldwin Market up and running. There wasn’t much hesitation about getting into the grocery business, Lynch says, since just about everyone was frustrated with the lack of options. The IGA’s former manager gladly took her old job back.
Making the supermarket an extension of City Hall did come with some bureaucratic hassles. It was crucial that the store accept EBT cards, which allow welfare recipients to receive benefits, but when Lynch began filling out the paperwork, he was confounded by the fields asking for the first and last name of the person who owned the store. There was no one owner, he explained over the phone to officials in Atlanta — the store belonged to the town.
So far, though, the experiment has been a success. The Town Council had hoped to take in $3,500 a day, and sales have routinely exceeded that, Lynch says. About 1,600 people — roughly the equivalent of the town’s population — stopped in during opening weekend, according to The Florida Times-Union, and the market sold out of meat. Eight employees, all residents, were hired at the outset; the town recently brought on two more people to help out during the busy holiday season.....
That's when I checked out.

"After an extraordinary week, Trump maintains total innocence, putting Republicans in awkward spot" by Liz Goodwin Globe Staff, November 23, 2019
WASHINGTON — After a disastrous week of impeachment hearings, with a somber parade of witnesses implicating him on national television, President Trump assumed a familiar posture: total denial.
They are referring to the call into the friendly territory of the “Fox & Friends” morning TV show last Friday, and it looks to me like it's the Globe that is in denial. Have they been watching any of that farce?
Their desperation at the failure and flop of impeachment is shown by the the accusations of conspiracy theories that are putting our democracy in peril as they flip the script regarding Ukrainian interference in 2016. The White House e-mails have turned up nothing impeachable, only "unflattering exchanges and facts that could at a minimum embarrass the president over an unfounded theory that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 US presidential election," according to the Washington Post.
So what do they do?
Go after Nunes!
Attack the other guy instead!
Classic diversion tactic!
They are trying to tie him to that former federal prosecutor and 9/11 conspirator and collaborator who destroyed a crime scene through the Jewish mafia thugs he hired (in fact, the whole impeachment seems to be a Jewish affair).
Furthermore, you turn the attention back to Mueller and charges of obstruction as the "whistleblower" fades into oblivion and falls off the edge of the world.
Trump’s extreme denials can put some of his Republican allies in an uncomfortable position, as they attempt to rebuke sworn testimony with the same stamina and enthusiasm as the president. While he is highly unlikely to be removed from office by the GOP-controlled Senate if the House votes to impeach him, Trump still has to convince voters in the coming election that he did nothing wrong, even as they are exposed to more testimony suggesting the very opposite.....
Shouldn't the testimony do more than "suggest the opposite" on such a grave political matter?
And you wonder why I am rarely buying or reading the Clintonista rag anymore?

"Inside the Walmart of Weed: From rural Canada, Big Marijuana seeks to dominate global market" by Naomi Martin Globe Staff, November 23, 2019
SMITHS FALLS, Ontario — The skunky, floral smell of growing marijuana is everywhere, from the parking lot outside the cavernous warehouse, to the lobby, even inside the coffee nook where employees take a break.
Related: After rodent video goes viral, Dunkin’ Donuts in East Boston’s Maverick Square is being sued
Maybe you should go to Cumberland Farms instead.
The building itself is a chocolate brown box that once housed a Hershey’s candy factory. In just one wing, a labyrinth of white halls links seemingly endless rows of windowless rooms, some the size of a school gymnasium, with fields of cannabis inside growing under bright white and yellow lights.
Workers wheel carts piled high with bales of green buds. In large open-floor production rooms, assembly lines of machinery pump out pot products, scores of perfectly rolled joints from the silver fingers of one, slews of red pills for medical marijuana patients in Germany spilling from another.
Welcome to the Walmart of Weed.
With Canada the largest nation to completely legalize marijuana, the world’s most valuable pot company, Canopy Growth Corp., has set up shop in this rural town seven hours northwest of Boston.
Already Big Alcohol, Big Tobacco, and Big Pharma have bought their way into Canopy and other marijuana companies, and, like those longstanding giants, the new cannabis corporations are spending millions of dollars lobbying for laws that let them sell large volumes of potentially addictive products. Even in the Holy Land of marijuana — Jamaica — Canopy and other Canadian companies have contracted with local businesses to gain a foothold in the nation’s new medical market, anticipating a day when they can export ganja from the home of Bob Marley, while small traditional cannabis farmers are struggling to meet regulatory requirements.
“We’re seeing almost exactly the same thing” with marijuana as with tobacco and alcohol, said Dr. Sharon Levy, who runs the adolescent substance use program at Boston Children’s Hospital.
That's the first expert the Globe turns to, proving that are really against marijuana and represents the pharmaceuticals and other interests with their skewed and hyperbolic coverage as they try to help.
As with cigarettes, advertising for marijuana is sharply limited in Canada and the United States, but pot companies have found ways around such rules using sleek videos on social media. Canopy, for example, has announced ventures with celebrities Drake, Seth Rogen, Martha Stewart, and Snoop Dogg. Its new line with Drake was promoted on the rapper’s Instagram page, which has nearly 62 million followers.
Massachusetts has tried to limit corporate domination in the pot business, but as the Globe Spotlight Team reported earlier this year, some bigger pot operators have tried to skirt the state’s cap on licenses and exploit the mandate to foster a diverse industry by recruiting minority entrepreneurs to serve as the local face of the company while maintaining substantial control over the businesses. Companies have also hired former politicians and consultants to help them win coveted permits from municipalities.
Yeah, the Globe is sifting through all the chaff even as the Ma$$achu$etts model once lauded by progressives is now seen as an example of what not to do as you wait for your federal subpoena from the guy who said he would be hands off!
Of course, "the system has long cried out for a legislative fix, but even when confronted with obvious abuses, state lawmakers have moved at a glacial pace to rewrite the law" -- the very same law they wrote at such a glacial pace after giving themselves a pay raise!
Meanwhile, Cronos, another Canadian cannabis company, received a $1.8 billion investment last year from Altria Group, maker of Marlboro and other cigarette brands, giving the tobacco giant a 45 percent stake in the pot company. Both tobacco and marijuana industries see potential in vaping technologies that can appeal to both consumers and regulators, especially given the recent concern over vaping-related lung illnesses.
Funny how the vape "crisis" only appeared after pot legalization reached critical mass. The paucity of deaths compared to the opioids that are being foisted on the American people and the inability to find a cause of the alleged vape illnesses are signs of a deeper agenda at work, one which seeks to kneecap the fledging industry by attacking it's second-best selling product. Think about it. They can't ban the top-selling flower itself. The PR optics would be terrible. You pile a federal subpoena on top of it and what municipality is going to want to open a store?
I predict that within 5 years all pot shops in Ma$$achu$etts will be bankrupt and out of business, with the government having a list of all the shoppers who went there.
Public health advocates fear such partnerships will inevitably follow a harmful playbook. Levy, the Boston Children’s Hospital pediatrician, co-wrote in The New England Journal of Medicine that she expects marijuana companies to follow a roadmap drawn up by the tobacco industry.
With Canada serving as a model for legalizing marijuana, Canopy has hosted tours for government officials from around the world, giving it an opportunity to pitch looser cannabis laws. That worries activists, who say the Canadian system has shut out smaller businesses.
“Canopy is going around telling every government on Earth, ‘Do it like us, grow the plants in prison-like facilities with big walls and concrete, we know what we’re doing, don’t let in those little people,’ ” said Jodie Emery, a Canadian marijuana activist. “This reeks of cannabis colonialism.”
In Colombia, Lesotho, and other countries, Canopy has acquired local companies or is contracting with them. Those investments, Canopy points out, have provided stable incomes and health insurance to locals who have never had such benefits.
“To us, it’s inherent to always be giving back and always be locally committed,” Zekulin said, adding the company is also working with researchers and doctors in those countries, but activists see such moves as the wealthy further enriching themselves off the poor.
Oh, now they are worried about wealth inequality!
In Jamaica, where medical marijuana is legal and recreational smoking is decriminalized, small-scale cannabis farmers were “hopelessly outgunned” by the Canadian companies’ lawyers and lobbyists looking to exploit the country’s pot-paradise image, said Rolles, the analyst.
“I’m not naive enough to think cannabis can somehow smash the inequities of capitalism, but it is a blank slate,” he said. “If there’s an opportunity to use emerging cannabis markets to build a fairer, more just, less iniquitous market structure, that’s great. We have a responsibility to try to do it better.”
Except when it comes to the banks, pharmaceuticals, and the Military-Industrial War Machine, etc.

"Mass women’s protest in Paris denounces domestic violence" by Angela Charlton and Thibault Camus Associated Press, November 23, 2019
PARIS — Tens of thousands of protesters marched through Paris on Saturday to demand a national wake-up call and more government investment to prevent deadly domestic violence against women, a problem that President Emmanuel Macron calls “France’s shame.”
A wave of purple flags and signs snaked from the Place de l’Opera through eastern Paris amid an unprecedented public campaign to decry violence against women — and to honor the 130 women that activists say have been killed in France this year by a current or former partner. That’s about one every two or three days.
I'm not minimizing the issue which has been lost amongst the #MeToo furor; however, I'm sick and tired of nothing but agenda-pushing, controlled opposition protest appearing in my paper.
We are the concerns for the women killed in imperial wars for the state of USrael, huh? Where is that concern? Where is the concern for the women of Yemen and Palestine?
While France has a progressive reputation and pushes for women’s rights around the world, it has among the highest rates in Europe of domestic violence, in part because of poor police response to reports of abuse. Many of the women killed this year had previously sought help from police.
PFFFT!
At Saturday’s march — one of the biggest demonstrations this year in Paris — French film and TV stars joined abuse victims and activists calling for an end to “femicide.” Many held banners reading “Sick of Rape.”
The protest came on the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and is aimed at pressuring the French government before it unveils new measures Monday to tackle the problem.
La Libertines!
The measures are expected to include seizing firearms from people suspected of domestic violence and prioritizing police training so they won’t brush off women’s complaints as a private affair.
Oh, they are using women as human shields to disarm you after you have become accustomed to her face!
“We live in a culture that finds excuses for assailants,” Alyssa Ahrabare, spokeswoman for activist group Osez le Féminisme (Try feminism), told The Associated Press.....
Yeah, but it's okay for war criminals to wander around.

"Mike Pence makes unannounced visit to Iraq" by Alissa J. Rubin and Falih Hassan New York Times, November 23, 2019
What a surprise!
BAGHDAD — Iran, which sees the uprising in Iraq as a threat that has encouraged a similar movement at home, has advocated a tough response. The United States has lobbied against that approach, encouraging Iraq to work with the nonviolent protesters, but has taken the same view as Iran toward the prime minister.
A pair of color revolution, regime-change destabilization campaigns. Not only did the NYT basically confirm it in not as many words, but its so damn obvious given the pre$$ concern and past history regarding their selective coverage of overseas events.
Unlike Iran, the United States wants to see reforms made in the Iraqi system to root out corruption and create an electoral system that is less dominated by sectarian apolitical parties that tend to divide up the spoils and do little to represent the people.
What you need to do there is switch Iran and The United States around. Then the paragraph reads right.
The web version of the article added this:
Less than 24 hours before Pence’s arrival, a rocket was fired at Green Zone, the location of the US Embassy.....
An obvious false flag, since it was an unannounced and surprise visit.

"Hundreds of climate protesters disrupt Harvard-Yale game, demand fossil fuel divestment" by John Hilliard and John Powers Globe Correspondents, November 23, 2019
NEW HAVEN, CONN. — Demonstrators stormed the field during halftime at the Harvard-Yale football game Saturday, delaying the game for about an hour to demand that both universities divest their investments in fossil fuels and to call attention to the issue of climate change.
This article came on the very morning there was an inch of snow on the ground!
It is sad to see the debt-laden kids be nothing more than willing dupes in this controlled opposition protest that was staged and allowed to storm the field. I'll bet they wouldn't have gotten very far had they called for the BDS of Israel. That's the whole point of this media analysis I am doing.
Eventually, there will be no crowds at sporting events -- for security's sake. You will simply watch them all on the Matrix, 'er, TV.
ESPNU replaced the live broadcast with another game.
During the midfield protest, the protesters chanted: “Hey hey! Ho ho! Fossil fuels have got to go!” One banner read, “This is an emergency.”
Demonstrators were surrounded by police and security and the public address system asked them to clear the field “as a courtesy to players.”

B7: Right quadrant contains ad for the Institution For Savings (again), while the bottom half of the page contains a strip ad for boston.com/monster -- which is basically the Globe begging for ads -- along with an ad for Long Roofing.
Page B8 brings and ad for Globe.com/newsletters and RiteWindow&Door, while page B9 is a full-page Auto Dealer Directory (so much for traffic and climate change, 'eh?).
The section finishes out with the business news and ads from LeafGuard and Rosie's Place Holiday cards on page B10, and an ad for Rockland Trust at the bottom of page B11.
