Aiding Transgender Case, Sessions Defies His Image on Civil Rights
NY Times ^ | 10-15-2017 | MATT APUZZO

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has dispatched an experienced federal hate crimes lawyer to Iowa to help prosecute a man charged with murdering a transgender high school student last year, a highly unusual move that officials said was personally initiated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

In taking the step, Mr. Sessions, a staunch conservative, is sending a signal that he has made a priority of fighting violence against transgender people individually, even as he has rolled back legal protections for them collectively.

The Justice Department rarely assigns its lawyers to serve as local prosecutors, and only in cases in which they can provide expertise in areas that the federal government views as significant. By doing so in this instance, Mr. Sessions put the weight of the government behind a small-city murder case with overtones of gender identity and sexuality.

Wait until Gov. Moonbeam pushes a hate crime charge against a killer who contracts AIDS from a man who knowingly gave it to his partner (or blood recipient).

I think Sessions is getting credit for decades of solid conservativism in the Senate. Unfortunately he should have stayed there.

He has a solid civil rights record. They’re bigoted against Southerners with the middle name of Beauregard, a Confederate officer.

Poor kid...sucked in and deceived by the popular culture. I wish we would do more about prevention...get these simple deluded kids help, before the predators get to them. Still, I believe this is a local case, and local authorities should take care of it. Jerky Jeff should be dealing with stuff like HighTreason.

Especially a 16 year old who has very little life experience.

He is looking at your 14 year old son.

He's helping to prosecute murderers. Is that a problem?

I wouldn't be if he was prosecuting real criminals like the cops that murdered Finicum.

psy·cho·sis
sīˈkōsəs/
noun
  1. a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization".
 
It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles. 
 
Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups:  those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation;  [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.  "
