[Human Events](http://www.humanevents.com/author/Human+Events)’ readers, in an online poll, [recently voted](http://www.humanevents.com/2011/03/28/george-soros-demagoat/) billionaire financier George Soros “*the single most destructive leftist demagogue in the country.*”  Here are the Top 10 Reasons [George Soros](http://www.humanevents.com/2011/04/02/top-10-reasons-george-soros-is-dangerous/) Is Dangerous: 1.  Gives billions to left-wing causes:  Soros started the Open Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes.  Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to a who’s who of left-wing groups.  This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money says it all: ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law Center, Soujourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women. 2.  Influence on U.S. elections:  Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the “central focus of […]

### Kill lists have traditionally focused on perceived religious deviants and political/economic targets, but a new wave of pro-IS kill lists has embraced random civilians as targets. Americans are well aware that terrorists wish harm on their country. We’ve lived through 9/11, San Bernardino, and this week’s horrid atrocity in Orlando—ugly reminders that our nationality, genders, and sexualities all make us targets. However, it’s a completely different experience altogether to see Islamic State (IS, ISIS, or Daesh) supporters target you by name. Indeed, something new is happening: Pro-ISIS hacking groups are investing their efforts into a new style of threat, known as “kill lists,” comprised of random people’s names and information for lone wolf jihadists to attack. Notable of such releases was a recent list of 3,600 New York residents’ names and personal information, accompanied by the message: The list

### Historical Roots of Hatred Do you remember how you felt on September 11, 2001? You likely saw images of jets crashing into buildings, people jumping from skyscrapers, the towers collapsing. What feelings did you experience? Confusion? Anger? Depression? TV showed some Palestinians celebrating. One Hamas publication wrote, “Allah has answered our prayers.”{1} In London, one Muslim group circulated stickers praising the “magnificent 19,” the hijackers.{2} Chances are, you are a target of this hatred. If you are a Westerner, an American, a non-Muslim, or a Muslim of a different stripe than they, then some radical Muslims hate you. Why? The answer is complex and involves history, culture, politics, religion, and psychology. Of course, many — some would say most — Muslims are peace loving and deplore terrorism. Islam is quite diverse.{3} Extremist Muslims do not represent all Muslims any

**Imagine a world where Google has no secrets, where [all search engines play fair](https://searchenginewatch.com/2016/02/25/say-goodbye-to-google-14-alternative-search-engines/), and where SEO doesn’t have to be synonymous with “page one.” Sound like a fairy tale?** The Internet is often cast as the great democratizer, and Google its noble gate-keeper. There’s no doubt that search engines help us easily navigate the web, but we have to remember that Google is a corporation, not a public service. Our faith in its wisdom and guidance is based on little more than a carefully planned PR scheme. Behind that curtain, few of us really have any idea what’s going on. That kind of blind trust may be dangerous for content creators and consumers alike, both in terms of what we see and what we get. In a recent column for [U.S. News & World Report](https://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2016-06-22/google-is-the-worlds-biggest-censor-and-its-power-must-be-regulated%E2%80%9D), artificial intelligence expert Dr.

Luke 17:14-16 (NIV) *14When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. 15One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him-and he was a Samaritan.* Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem when ten lepers met Him and pleaded for mercy. Jesus told them to go and show themselves to the priests. It was prescribed in the Law that if someone was healed of leprosy, they were to go to the priest and show that they had been cleansed. The word translated ‘leprosy’ covers a number of different skin diseases. These ten men obeyed the word that Jesus spoke. It took faith to begin the journey. As they went, they were healed. Jesus

One of the less well known aspects of the history of slavery is how many and how often non-whites owned and traded slaves in early America. Free black slave holders could be found at one time or another “in each of the thirteen original states and later in every state that countenanced slavery,” historian R. Halliburton Jr. observed. That black people bought and sold other black people raises “vexing questions” for 21st-century Americans like African-American writer [Henry Louis Gates Jr.](http://www.theroot.com/articles/history/2013/03/black_slave_owners_did_they_exist/), who writes that it betrays class divisions that have always existed within the black community. For others, it’s an excuse to deflect the shared blame for the institution of slavery in America away from white people. In the latter vein, “9 Facts About Slavery They Don’t Want You to Know” lays out a mixture of true, false and misleading historical claims. We’ll address each one in turn below: The first legal slave

  The latest “bombshell” news story from the New York Times — entitled Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him to End Flynn Investigation — is based entirely on a memo that James Comey wrote to himself, then “leaked” to the NYT. If you wrote it yourself, it’s not exactly a “leak,” is it? It’s actually some words scribbled on a napkin, all of which may or may not be accurate about what was actually said at the meeting. For all we know, James Comey decided to scribble his silly memo the day after he got fired by Trump. It has no credibility at all, in other words. James Comey wants to damage the Trump administration, so he jots down whatever lies he wants the NYT to publish, then he calls it a “memo.” (Gee, I can write memos, too. The

– ## [JENNINE KHALIK](http://www.theaustralian.com.au/author/Jennine+Khalik) [](http://www.theaustralian.com.au/author/Jennine+Khalik) Journalist North Queensland [@jennineak](http://twitter.com/jennineak)  An underground group of former Muslim-Australians has condemned Facebook’s censorship of their views, after several pages were suspended and banned for allegedly not adhering to “community standards”. Amid growing controversy over the role of online media ­giants and whether they are media publishers or, as often claimed, facilitators of debate, Facebook has shut down pages and groups of ex-Muslims, following organised and concerted efforts by thousands of users who have flagged pages they believe disrespect Islam. Several English and Arabic-language Facebook pages have been targeted, including the Ex-Muslims of North America page — which has now reopened — and the page of Mufti News, an online website that satirises Islam in the style of The Onion. Both respectively have about 25,000 likes. Atheist pages have also been closed, including Iraqi

MAY 15, 2017 7:27 AM BY [ROBERT SPENCER](https://www.jihadwatch.org/author/samir)[25 COMMENTS](https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/05/denmark-tv-station-goes-to-mosque-where-imam-preached-about-killing-jews-cant-find-anyone-who-disagrees#comments) [Jihad Watch reported three days ago](https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/05/copenhagen-imam-accused-of-calling-for-murder-of-jews) about the controversy in Denmark over imam Mundhir Abdallah’s remarks promoting killing Jews. Now “TV 2’s reporter spoke today with several Muslims at the mosque on Heimdalsgade on Nørrebro. In the two hours he was at the mosque, he did not find anyone who clearly distanced himself from the imam’s statements.” If TV 2’s reporter had been knowledgeable about the subject, he would have known that no one at Al Faruq Mosque on Nørrebro was going to distance himself from the imam’s statements, because those statements were based on a statement attributed to Muhammad: “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill

  # AfterMidnight 12 May, 2017 Today, May 12th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes “AfterMidnight” and “Assassin”, two CIA malware frameworks for the Microsoft Windows platform. “AfterMidnight” allows operators to dynamically load and execute malware payloads on a target machine. The main controller disguises as a self-persisting Windows Service DLL and provides secure execution of “Gremlins” via a HTTPS based Listening Post (LP) system called “Octopus”. Once installed on a target machine AM will call back to a configured LP on a configurable schedule, checking to see if there is a new plan for it to execute. If there is, it downloads and stores all needed components before loading all new gremlins in memory. “Gremlins” are small AM payloads that are meant to run hidden on the target and either subvert the functionality of targeted software, survey the target (including data exfiltration)
