BALITANG INTERNASYONAL: A Chicago Man attacks ABC-affiliate TV news studio throwing 2 large rocks for Vandalism [#DisneyXDNewsEXCLUSIVE]

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- An unidentified pedestrian male suspect, who was recently caught on security cameras during the 4pm newscast of WLS-TV's ABC 7: Eyewitness News studio at the State Street in Chicago, Illinois, United States of America (U.S.A.). This was during local police report segments about a deadly shooting in Greater Grand Crossing, and a woman in the 1500-block of East 95th Street in critical condition after being shot while driving at night.

Disney XD News is the only first to scoop that the description of the male suspect, having a thin build, weighing about 150 pounds, and sporting salt & pepper-like hair, was seen taking a large rock out of a plastic bag and hurling it at the studio window.

Seconds later, heard in audio-only attack, outside in this said local news studio, he picked up the rock and threw it again, partially breaking the glass. Area 3 detectives are leading the investigation and are working to identify the individual responsible for this scenery act, in the vunerable criminal art of vandalism and damage to property at a commercial, owned-and-operated news business.

ABC 7: Chicago first opened its State Street Studio in early mid-April 2006, covering local and regional stories all around the Illinois state. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but the Chicago Police Department (CPD) are investigating the incident at the time of our writing.

Considering how rapidly the right's "war on woke" is expanding, it was perhaps inevitable: Self-identified "mama bears" on a Texas school board are angry that a classroom had a poster showing people of different races holding hands. Last week, the school board in Conroe, Texas, a small city north of Houston, turned the right-wing mania for censorship into a dark parody of itself. At issue? A poster that seemed to imply that interracial friendship is possible.

According to ABC 13 Eyewitness News in Houston, things started when school trustee Melissa Dungan declared that she had spoken to parents who were upset about "displays of personal ideologies in classrooms." When pressed for an example, according to the news report, "Dungan referred to a first grade student whose parent claimed they were so upset by a poster showing hands of people of different races, that they transferred classrooms."

"I wish I was shocked," Dungan said of the poster. "I am aware these trends have been happening for many years."

Some other members of the school board did, in fact, argue that there was nothing objectionable about such a poster. But Dungan was backed up by another trustee, Misty Odenweller, who insisted that the depiction of uh, race-mixing was in some way a "violation of the law." The two women are part of "Mama Bears Rising," a secretive far-right group fueling the book-banning mania in Conroe and the surrounding area. At least 59 books have been banned due to their efforts.

When another trustee asked Dungan if she personally objected to an illustration of cross-racial friendship, she demurred, simply declaring that she was just trying to avoid "situations like that." Situations like what, exactly? She didn't say.

Dungan's behavior is a perfect illustration of the "anti-woke" tap dance. The person alleging nefarious wokeness never admits to their own bigotry, instead pretending that they're reacting to "woke" people who are "pushing" an agenda, in this case through innocuous poster art.

Of course, the entire premise of the argument is rooted in bigotry, as this example shows. It presumes that the feelings of real or imagined bigots who might take umbrage at such an image are of paramount importance, and that everyone else's freedoms must be curtailed to appease them.

It's tempting to shrug it off as one-off weirdness from Nowheresville, Texas. But while this was an especially ham-fisted example, it's part of a well-funded nationwide effort, led by a group of interlocking far-right groups, aimed at destroying modernity, undermining democracy and imposing authoritarian government against the will of most Americans.

Donald Trump sucks up most of the oxygen in the discussion about rising American fascism, but even without him, this movement is powerful and widespread, and it's using these local culture-war skirmishes battles to seize even more power. And old-fashioned racism, the kind on display in Conroe, is very much at the center of it all.

Last week, the New Republic published a lengthy and terrifying investigative article by Katherine Stewart about the Claremont Institute, once a vaguely respectable conservative think tank and now among the leading right-wing organizations pushing the anti-education and anti-democratic agenda below the surface of the Conroe incident.

One of the many Claremont alumni Stewart profiles is Christopher Rufo, who spearheaded the recent hysteria over "critical race theory" in education. In reality, critical race theory was an approach used in law schools and other graduate-level academic spaces, and had basically nothing to do with public schools.

Rufo's ingenious idea was to turn it into a catch-all scare term that could be used to demonize any and all forms of anti-racist education, even something as previously noncontroversial as a poster depicting interracial friendship.

The far-right, anti-democratic politics of the Claremont Institute are so grotesque that many readers will dismiss them as preposterous, but it's all carefully documented and disturbingly real. As Stewart chronicles, Claremont has promoted the work of Costin Alamariu, who holds a PhD in philosophy from Yale and writes under the name "Bronze Age Pervert." He has declared that the "liberation of women" is an "infection" that requires "the most terrible convulsions and the most thorough purgative measures."

A frequent contributor to Claremont's online journal, who writes under the name "Raw Egg Nationalist," argues that "men and women shouldn't work together in the same spaces" and describes the Black Lives Matter protesters of 2020 as "hideously ugly, malformed people." Claremont-associated blogger Curtis Yarvin argues (in Stewart's words) that "America needs a king, a dictator with total military power." Claremont's most famous associate is board member and former law professor John Eastman, now known as "Co-Conspirator 2" in the indictment against Donald Trump for attempting to overthrow the U.S. government.

Because of their tight link to the book-banning efforts, the relatively new but suspiciously wealthy group Moms for Liberty has received massive media attention in the past couple of years. Even so, the group's radical ideology has not really been covered in most mainstream news coverage, which tends to portray the Moms as a bunch of overzealous church ladies. As Flux editor Matthew Sheffield, Media Matters vice president Julie Millican and researcher Olivia Little explained in a recent "Theory of Change" podcast, however, underneath the facade of "Christian moms" is some startling far-right radicalism.

For instance, while it was widely reported that a Moms for Liberty pamphlet from one branch was caught quoting Adolf Hitler, the group was able to spin that as a misunderstanding and a mistake. But at their summit a few days later, speaker Tiffany Justice yelled, "I stand with that mom" — the one who quoted Hitler — while the audience whooped its approval.

Moms for Liberty has heavily promoted trainings for conservative activists on how to take over school boards, which ought to make clear how we should understand stories like this one, which just sound like a racist tantrum in a Texas suburb. These aren't random or isolated events — they're part of a large, well-organized and well-financed attack on public education across the country.

Mama Bears Rising, the group that fueled the Conroe school board takeover, in unsurprisingly discreet about its connections to the larger national movement for censorship. But screenshots of online communications by local anti-censorship activists suggests that it's no coincidence that the books targeted for censorship in Conroe are the same ones that show up on book-ban lists across the country. Mama Bears Rising is drawing on the same playbook that's being disseminated nationwide through a well-funded network of Christian nationalist activists.

These days, it's almost never just one nutty lady at a school board meeting. It's about a movement with a committed ideology, that has deep connections to Donald Trump's campaign to end democracy.

ID: A tweet by Jonathan H. Gray is: "Thinking Too Much"@jongraywb.

“More and more you're going to see US media outlets paint the strikes as something absolutely horrible to everyone else. But what you have to remember is that outlets such as ABC are directly owned by Disney. They aren't reporting news. They're protecting their masters' interests.”

The original tweet is quoting a tweet by ABC7 Eyewitness, which says

“News - Strike by Hollywood actors, writers causing collateral damage to small businesses in SoCal”.

Jonathan H. Gray is: "Thinking Too Much">@jongraywb goes on

“This is the direct result of megacorps buying news outlets and providing you news with slants and bends that are 100% unreliable and based entirely on protecting billionaires and wealthy businessmen who's business it is to prey on the masses for exploitation. 1+1 equals 2. So next time you see the news paint any of the ongoing strikes as bad always ask "Who owns the stations/networks and who benefits?" Considering how many cookie jars Disney has their hands in (ABS, Fox) its a safe bet that you're gonna see this kind of "reporting" escalate wildly. He who controls the money and the power controls the narrative. Strike more, strike harder.”

Below are two vintage or vintage-style black on sepia cartoons, one showing Mickey Mouse picketing with a sign reading “Disney Unfair” and another showing Donald Duck striking pointing to the words “Do Not Patronise Disney Pictures”, with other writing too small to be legible beneath. Both characters look angry.

A third-grade teacher has been arrested, accused of conspiring with a drug trafficking gang while she was working at the school in Houston.

34-year-old Jessica Ferguson, a teacher within the Sheldon Independent School District in Harris County, Texas, was arrested on Thursday along with 17 others on charges relating to a drug trafficking investigation, while another three individuals suspected to be involved were already in custody, according to local ABC affiliate Eyewitness News.

The outlet reported that Alamdar Hamdani, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Texas, said in a press conference that the teacher was taking phone calls in relation to the alleged illegal activities, and "you could hear the children in the background" while she talked.

According to local reports, there were no children present at the time of her arrest on campus, and she has since been placed on administrative leave.

A representative for the school district told Newsweek, "Sheldon ISD is aware of a law enforcement investigation and recent arrest of a Sheldon ISD teacher. Due to privacy laws, the District is limited in its ability to share all information concerning the allegations and the teacher. The District confirms that the arrest did not take place in the presence of students."

"The District expects all of its employees to comply with state and federal laws, and the District is cooperating fully with law enforcement as this investigation continues. As always, the safety and well-being of all Sheldon ISD students and our District community remain our top priorities," the school district added.

Her arrest came as part of the Department of Justice's mission to combat violent crime in Houston, and around 300 officers set out across the city to find those thought to be involved in a gang trafficking kilograms of cocaine and methamphetamine throughout the region, Houston Landing reported.

One of the other suspects arrested was 35-year-old Alfred Jacoby Green, who authorities believe is the gang's leader. FBI Special Agent Doug Williams said in a press conference that he hoped the arrests would help to "connect the dots on several cases, including unsolved murders," the outlet added.

The gang, believed to be named "Rich Kingz" is believed to have been operating for years and "is responsible for drug trafficking and violent crimes across our entire city, including several murders," agent Williams reportedly added.

U.S. attorney Hamdani said, "Drug trafficking in Houston and throughout the United States is a rampant problem that continues to take lives. It takes lives through violence that goes hand in hand with drug trafficking. It takes lives in the deaths of people who overdose using those drugs. It takes lives in the communities that are left ravaged and ruined in their wake," Houston Landing reports.

According to local outlet Click2Houston, Hamdani also said the Rich Kingz are believed to be linked to other criminal networks in the area.

Combating violent crime is a priority for the FBI in Houston, authorities said, noting more than 65 offenders have been arrested, more than 130 firearms have been confiscated, and around $1.3 million seized in the past two years, Houston Landing added.

In the 1860s, killer whales struck a kind of deal with European whalers in Eden, one that the coastal Thaua people*—part of the Aboriginal Yuin Nation—had laid the groundwork for thousands of years. With the guidance of Thaua crew members, the whalers went from treating the orcas as pests to seeing them as partners, under what came to be known as the “Law of the Tongue,” in which orcas would help the whalers find and catch larger baleen whales, in exchange for their favorite parts: the lips and tongue. The deal went swimmingly, it seems, until, it is said, white whalers ruined it.

“They [the Thaua and killer whales] had this really good relationship long before the whaling,” said Lynne Thomas, daughter of Yuin elder Guboo Ted Thomas, in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in 2014. “That relationship was very strong, not only through working as a whaleman down there at Twofold Bay, but also culturally, because they’re part of our dreaming stories.” In Australian Aboriginal cultures, Dreamtime stories explain how things came to be.

“We consider beowas [killer whales] to be our brothers,” writes Thaua traditional custodian Steven Holmes in a foreword for a new study on Eden’s orcas in the Journal of Heredity. “In Australian Aboriginal cultures, Dreamtime stories explain how things came to be. The Thaua’s Dreamtime stories say that when a Thaua member dies, they are reincarnated as a beowa. The beowas remained part of the Thaua, even after passing.”

For a long time, the Aboriginal history was left out of the story of Eden’s killer whales, says zoologist Danielle Clode at Flinders University in Australia, who spent years digging up the truth behind these stories for her 2002 book, Killers in Eden. “There was no mention of Aboriginal people whatsoever. It was a purely white story, [like] they arrived and trained the killer whales like sheep dogs.” But now, the museum, historians, and other researchers are beginning to center the role of the Thaua.

“If it hadn’t been for the Indigenous crews on those boats, I don’t think that that relationship would have evolved,” says Clode. “And the Europeans would have just killed the killer whales because they were getting in the way.”

Thaua crew members insisted the orcas be spared, and showed the Europeans that they could be an asset, explained Thomas. More than an asset, a partner, Clode adds. Through her research, she concluded that the orcas weren’t just working side by side with the whalers, but actively collaborating, as the locals’ and museum’s stories say. Four remaining eyewitnesses explained how the hunts went in a 2004 interview in an ABC documentary based on Clode’s book. The orcas cornered whales in the shallow bay and sent scouts to the whaling station to signal the men it was time to hunt. The orcas would then guide them to the trapped whale, and wait for their reward. Once the whale was harpooned and killed, the whalers would let the body sink, so orcas could feast on the lips and tongue. Once the body bloated a bit and floated, the whalers could pull it ashore.

'It was a trap': Video shows American volunteer killed by guided missile in 'Deliberate' Russian attack

Medic volunteer Pete Reed and a Ukrainian woman he was treating died.

The video is only about a second long but it captures the killing of American medic volunteer Pete Reed and a Ukrainian woman he was treating in Bakhmut, a city in eastern Ukraine which has been the target of a bloody Russian assault for months.

When watched frame-by-frame, the footage is revealing.

A low-flying missile can be seen hurtling toward Reed’s white van ambulance which was parked at the scene.

The images show that Reed was not killed by Russian shelling, as eyewitnesses had previously thought.

Military experts say the missile visible in the footage bears all the hallmarks of an anti-tank laser-guided missile. Colleagues of Reed, who was working with globaloutreachdoctors.org, say the video, together with firsthand witness accounts, show that the group of international medics was deliberately targeted.

"They were hunting us down," said Erko Laidinen, a 35-year-old Estonian volunteer medic from frontlinemedics.org, whose camera recorded the missile and the explosion.

When Laidinen’s team of medics arrived at the scene on Feb. 2 to treat a Ukrainian woman who had been injured by shelling, another team led by Reed was already there.

Less than 10 seconds later, the missile struck Reed’s white van.

At that moment Laidinen was still inside his team’s van ambulance, which he said was clearly marked with large medical-style crosses and was parked a short distance away.

The Estonian medic had turned his camera on a second before the explosion. Reed is clearly visible.

He is standing by his ambulance, alongside his fellow medics. Next to him was the woman he was about to treat.

Then a low-flying missile shoots in from right to left.

"It was the worst two seconds of my life," Laidinen said as he described the moment after the explosion.

He then heard one of his team members scream.

“I got relief," he recalled. "It was not nice, but you could verify (his colleague) was alive

Laidinen said he and his colleagues, who were badly injured, quickly took cover inside a building. He believes the team of international medics were then repeatedly targeted by Russian forces, even after the initial missile attack.

His camera had crashed to the ground in the initial explosion, as Laidinen had exited his vehicle to take cover.

The camera’s image for the next 20 minutes is just black; however, it still recorded multiple nearby explosions which Laidinen believes were incoming Russian mortars.

Laidinen said he has additional dash cam footage that captures both the missile hitting Reed’s ambulance as well as a second missile being fired at a vehicle, which was being used to evacuate casualties from the scene.

That second missile, he said, missed its target and hit a nearby residential building.

The dash cam video has not yet been published but Laidinen said it has been handed over to Ukrainian police and war crimes prosecutors, as well as the Estonian and U.S. authorities.

"The low, flat trajectory" of the missile "and the fact that it was slow enough to be captured on video" suggest it was an anti-tank guided missile, according to Steve Ganyard, an ABC News contributor and a retired colonel. Ganyard has viewed the images.

Laidinen said it was obvious the team of international volunteers were medics working on the scene.

The cross on the back of Reed’s ambulance was covered with dirt but crosses were visible on the side and front of that van, as well as on all sides of Laidinen's vehicle, he said.

As the video shows, Reed’s team was dressed in civilian clothing. Laidinen said one team member did have on a camouflage-type jacket.

It took Laidinen two days to retrieve his phone and watch the video back.

It then hit home "how dangerous it is" for a volunteer working near the front lines in Ukraine, he said.

"You can easily identify the missile in the picture," he said.

There is no question for him that they were deliberately "targeted," Laidinen insisted.

"It is laser guided. There is nothing to debate," he said.

Laidinen said the Russian military would have known that a team of medics would have been responding to a civilian casualty on the scene.

"They waited for us. They knew we were coming, that we were responding," he said. "It was a trap."
