http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-02/china-blamed-for-cyber-attack-on-bureau-of-meteorology/6993278
>China is being blamed for a major cyber attack on the computers at the Bureau of Meteorology, which has compromised sensitive systems across the Federal Government. Multiple official sources have confirmed the recent attack and the ABC has been told it will cost millions of dollars to plug the security breach, as other agencies have also been affected.
>The bureau owns one of Australia's largest supercomputers and provides critical information to a host of agencies. Its systems straddle the nation, including one link into the Department of Defence at Russell Offices in Canberra. But the ABC has been told this is a "massive" breach and one official said there was little doubt where it came from. "It's China," he said. The motivation for the attack on the bureau could be commercial, strategic or both. The bureau is a critical national resource and another state would place a high value on its intellectual property and scientific research. In the event of a conflict, compromising Australia's ability to accurately forecast weather would affect the operation of military and commercial aircraft.
>Beyond that, the bureau provides a gateway to other agencies. In March the Bureau's chief executive Robert Vertessy told Radio National that his agency had evolved "from what was once just a straight weather service to what I would call now a more broad-based environmental intelligence agency". It provides weather and climate forecasting, tsunami warnings, tide predictions, water resources and even space weather. There is no clear picture yet how much the breach will cost to fix or how long it will take but the critical nature of the bureau's services means its systems cannot be switched off for repair.
>In the words of one source: "It could take years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to fix."
YOOO WHAT THE FUCK CHINA
I hope this is the final straw, and these attacks start having actual consequences.
If they blew up $100m worth of chattel there would be consequences.

Nigerians are always ready to mete out jungle justice to the men of the underworld who want to live like kings in the jungle. According to reports, these armed robbers were caught over the weekend at Olowotedo Mowe along Lagos Ibadan express way Ogun state, Nigeria. They were mercilessly beaten by the angry mob before being handed over to the police after being stripped naked and beaten to pulp.

The French haven't much changed their attitude RE: immigration since the Paris attacks. This is in contrast to other European countries, such as Poland or the UK, where you saw noticeable changes in policy or public opinion.
In September, immigration of political refugees stood at net +6 favourability in France, now it is at -3. 40% of Frenchmen still say they should be allowed, versus just 20% in the UK.
It is still unclear whether the fingerprints found on the Stade de France assailant match those of a refugee logged in Greece in October.

The overwhelming majority of people moving to Europe are non-western males from the age of 17-35(fighting age men).
They go to countries like Greece first, get registered, then throw out their papers and try to get to Germany or Sweden where they get massive benifits.
In Hungary they refuse food and water because it has the red cross on it.
They don't have a "right" to be here because they are not origin to those countries, much less the EU.

>The campaign, "Virtual racism, real consequences," is using the location tag from Facebook posts to find where the offenders live. The group is then buying billboard space in their neighborhoods, but blurring out the names and photos of the commenters.

Also, why is there a "non profit" group defending blacks in fucking Brazil?

But remember, BLM is just whining about a non-existent problem. Black people just commit more crimes, that's the only factor at play here.
>still can't post images to an imageboard
Fine. Here's a link:
https://veuwer.com/i/3fd5.png
Shows some statistics on race in the justice system. Things like blacks receiving longer sentences for the same crimes, or being more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession despite similar levels of use. /pol/ can talk all they want about dindus committing more crime but the fact is there is a strong racial bias in our court system and among the police.
That link also has some numbers on gender, note the OP is police planting drugs on black MEN. We usually don't talk about sexism here because it doesn't fit the narrative, but sexism against men in our justice system is on the same level as racism against blacks.

Cannabis use is associated with improved outcomes in opioid-dependent subjects undergoing outpatient treatment, according to data published online ahead of print in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence.
Researchers at Columbia University assessed the use of cannabinoids versus placebo in opioid-dependent subjects undergoing in-patient detoxification and outpatient treatment with naltrexone, an opiate receptor antagonist. Investigators reported that the administration of oral THC (dronabinol) during the detoxification process lowered the severity of subjects’ withdrawal symptoms compared to placebo, but that these effects did not persist over the entire course of treatment. By contrast, patients who consumed herbal cannabis during the outpatient treatment phase were more readily able to sleep, were less anxious, and were more likely to complete their treatment as compared to those subjects who did not.
“One of the interesting study findings was the observed beneficial effect of marijuana smoking on treatment retention,” authors concluded. “Participants who smoked marijuana had less difficulty with sleep and anxiety and were more likely to remain in treatment as compared to those who were not using marijuana, regardless of whether they were taking dronabinol or placebo.”
http://blog.norml.org/2015/11/30/study-cannabis-improves-outcomes-in-opioid-dependent-subjects-undergoing-treatment/
>>4157
he findings replicate those of two prior studies, one from 2001 and another from 2009, reporting greater treatment adherence among subjects who consumed cannabis intermittently during outpatient therapy.
Population data from states where medicinal cannabis is permitted report lower rates of opioid-abuse and mortality as compared to those states where the plant is prohibited. Clinical data and case reports also indicate that the adjunctive use of cannabis may wean patients from opiates while successfully managing their pain. Survey data of state qualified medical cannabis patients demonstrates that subjects with access to the plant often substitute it for opioids because they perceive it to possess fewer adverse side effects.
Overdose deaths involving opioids have increased dramatically in recent years. While fewer than 4,100 opiate-induced fatalities were reported for the year 1999, by 2010 this figure rose to over 16,600 according to an analysis by the US Centers for Disease Control.
Marijuana is not a miracle drug but to deny the benefits it can provide people is absurd. Few more years to go and we'll finally have it legalised atleast.

>Russian Airstrikes in Syria Seem to Be Hurting Civilians More Than ISIS
And can anybody be surprised about that?
Airstrikes always hurt civilians. They may hit strategic targets, but they will always produce collateral damage.
With the IS, there are barely any strategic targets. The whole place is a shit-hole. You can't do war against that unless you decide to kill every single person in that area.
War is done against real and organized nations. When you show a real leader that his troops have no chance of winning left then he can surrender and use his influence to stop his machinery of war.
With the IS that can't happen.
>>4039
They're all garbage anyway.
Meanwhile the program is only hitting designated targets with minimal casualties.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/war-with-isis-president-obama-demands-that-turkey-close-stretch-of-frontier-with-syria-a6753836.html
>The US is demanding that Turkey close a 60-mile stretch of its border with Syria which is the sole remaining crossing point for Isis militants, including some of those involved in the massacre in Paris and other terrorist plots.
>The complete closure of the 550-mile-long border would be a serious blow to Isis, which has brought tens of thousands of Islamist volunteers across the frontier over the past three years.
>In the wake of the Isis attacks in Paris, Washington is making clear to Ankara that it will no longer accept Turkish claims that it is unable to cordon off the remaining short section of the border still used by Isis. “The game has changed. Enough is enough. The border needs to be sealed,” a senior official in President Barack Obama’s administration told The Wall Street Journal, describing the tough message that Washington has sent to the Turkish government. “This is an international threat, and it’s coming out of Syria and it’s coming through Turkish territory.”
How will the USA achieve this? Can they just pressure Turkey to totally close the border? If the problem is just ISIS they really need a different armed group to control the Syrian side, but obviously Turkey wont want the kurds (YPG) to do it.
I think this is a wonderful idea and I am glad the US is doing something about this
About fucking time. Goddamn.

No, they don't get into the country until they're better. The OP and his link are confusing, but the article clarifies that refugees are actually not allowed entry into the country until they've beaten the disease.

No. They will get a full screening before they leave , but WILL be admitted into the healthcare system in Canada with those diseases.
