One person was killed and at least three others were wounded Tuesday in an active shooting near a polling place in Azusa.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Capt. Jeff Scroggin said police were dealing with at least one suspect who was heavily armed.
Few details were released about the shooting, which occurred sometime after 2 p.m. in a residential neighborhood in the area of Fourth Street and Orange Avenue, said Officer Jerry Willison of the Azusa Police Department.
“This is a very volatile and critical situation,” he said.
Willison declined to provide the location of the shooting for the safety of the officers and the victims, he said.
A woman claiming to work at a bookstore sent out this tweet. A short while later the tweet was removed and her account is no longer active.
Here’s a closer look (click to enlarge), which I have transcribed below:
“The 2016 presidential election was unique in a number of ways. It saw the first major-party female nominee for the highest office in the country, the improbable rise of the kind of demagogue previously unknown in American politics and enough infighting and mudslinging for 10 election cycles. But as the tone of the election grew darker and more bizarre by the day, President-Elect Hillary Clinton “went high” when her opponent and his supporters went even lower. No stranger to trudging through the mire of misogyny in her career as first lady, senator and secretary of state. President-Elect Clinton continued to push for an issues-based campaign even as a handful of Trump’s most deplorable supporters, seeing the wide margin Clinton held among female voters, called to repeal the 19th amendment. On election day, Americans across the country roundly rejected the kind of fear and hate-based conservatism peddled by Donald Trump and elected the first woman in U.S. history to the presidency. The culminating election of a career in politics spanning three decades and arguably more experience than any other incoming president, 2016’s was not an easy race watch, comment on or be part of – but when the dust cleared it revealed a priceless moment in American history. The highest glass ceiling in the Western World had finally shattered.”
WTF! I’m trying to think of an explanation. Did Newsweek hedge their bets and send out two versions, one of which we haven’t seen? Could this have been a fake magazine doctored for this exact purpose? The surrounding scene looks pretty “back of a bookstore” to me, so I it at least appears that Newsweek devoted a lot of resources to a sure Hillary win.
Check this out… Wikileaks tweeted these insurance file torrents roughly 5 hours after reporting they were under a massive DDOS attack. None of those torrent links work at present. What’s in those files??
Update: Reports are coming from several people able to download the files. They are actually .torrent links, which when plugged into a torrent client such as uTorrent, should start downloading the actual insurance files. Screenshot of the .torrent links which were sent to me minutes ago.

Today is incredibly important for many reasons. In the final analysis, if Trump wins, Wikileaks will have been integral to the effort. Many have pointed out that Wikileaks has never published material on Trump or any of the other candidates. To that end, Julian Assange has issued a statement regarding Wikileaks’ mission and the nature of their participation in the election. Read below, or click the link here.
Assange Statement on the US Election
8 November 2016
By Julian Assange
In recent months, WikiLeaks and I personally have come under enormous pressure to stop publishing what the Clinton campaign says about itself to itself. That pressure has come from the campaign’s allies, including the Obama administration, and from liberals who are anxious about who will be elected US President.
On the eve of the election, it is important to restate why we have published what we have.
The right to receive and impart true information is the guiding principle of WikiLeaks – an organization that has a staff and organizational mission far beyond myself. Our organization defends the public’s right to be informed.
This is why, irrespective of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election, the real victor is the US public which is better informed as a result of our work.
The US public has thoroughly engaged with WikiLeaks’ election related publications which number more than one hundred thousand documents. Millions of Americans have pored over the leaks and passed on their citations to each other and to us. It is an open model of journalism that gatekeepers are uncomfortable with, but which is perfectly harmonious with the First Amendment.
We publish material given to us if it is of political, diplomatic, historical or ethical importance and which has not been published elsewhere. When we have material that fulfills this criteria, we publish. We had information that fit our editorial criteria which related to the Sanders and Clinton campaign (DNC Leaks) and the Clinton political campaign and Foundation (Podesta Emails). No-one disputes the public importance of these publications. It would be unconscionable for WikiLeaks to withhold such an archive from the public during an election.
At the same time, we cannot publish what we do not have. To date, we have not received information on Donald Trump’s campaign, or Jill Stein’s campaign, or Gary Johnson’s campaign or any of the other candidates that fufills our stated editorial criteria. As a result of publishing Clinton’s cables and indexing her emails we are seen as domain experts on Clinton archives. So it is natural that Clinton sources come to us.
We publish as fast as our resources will allow and as fast as the public can absorb it.
That is our commitment to ourselves, to our sources, and to the public.
This is not due to a personal desire to influence the outcome of the election. The Democratic and Republican candidates have both expressed hostility towards whistleblowers. I spoke at the launch of the campaign for Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, because her platform addresses the need to protect them. This is an issue that is close to my heart because of the Obama administration’s inhuman and degrading treatment of one of our alleged sources, Chelsea Manning. But WikiLeaks publications are not an attempt to get Jill Stein elected or to take revenge over Ms Manning’s treatment either.
Publishing is what we do. To withhold the publication of such information until after the election would have been to favour one of the candidates above the public’s right to know.
This is after all what happened when the New York Times withheld evidence of illegal mass surveillance of the US population for a year until after the 2004 election, denying the public a critical understanding of the incumbent president George W Bush, which probably secured his reelection. The current editor of the New York Times has distanced himself from that decision and rightly so.
The US public defends free speech more passionately, but the First Amendment only truly lives through its repeated exercise. The First Amendment explicitly prevents the executive from attempting to restrict anyone’s ability to speak and publish freely. The First Amendment does not privilege old media, with its corporate advertisers and dependencies on incumbent power factions, over WikiLeaks’ model of scientific journalism or an individual’s decision to inform their friends on social media. The First Amendment unapologetically nurtures the democratization of knowledge. With the Internet, it has reached its full potential.
Yet, some weeks ago, in a tactic reminiscent of Senator McCarthy and the red scare, Wikileaks, Green Party candidate Stein, Glenn Greenwald and Clinton’s main opponent were painted with a broad, red brush. The Clinton campaign, when they were not spreading obvious untruths, pointed to unnamed sources or to speculative and vague statements from the intelligence community to suggest a nefarious allegiance with Russia. The campaign was unable to invoke evidence about our publications—because none exists.
In the end, those who have attempted to malign our groundbreaking work over the past four months seek to inhibit public understanding perhaps because it is embarrassing to them – a reason for censorship the First Amendment cannot tolerate. Only unsuccessfully do they try to claim that our publications are inaccurate.
WikiLeaks’ decade-long pristine record for authentication remains. Our key publications this round have even been proven through thecryptographic signaturesof the companies they passed through, such as Google. It is not every day you can mathematically prove that your publications are perfect but this day is one of them.
We have endured intense criticism, primarily from Clinton supporters, for our publications. Many long-term supporters have been frustrated because we have not addressed this criticism in a systematic way or responded to a number of false narratives about Wikileaks’ motivation or sources. Ultimately, however, if WL reacted to every false claim, we would have to divert resources from our primary work.
WikiLeaks, like all publishers, is ultimately accountable to its funders. Those funders are you. Our resources are entirely made up of contributions from the public and our book sales. This allows us to be principled, independent and free in a way no other influential media organization is. But it also means that we do not have the resources of CNN, MSNBC or the Clinton campaign to constantly rebuff criticism.
Yet if the press obeys considerations above informing the public, we are no longer talking about a free press, and we are no longer talking about an informed public.
Wikileaks remains committed to publishing information that informs the public, even if many, especially those in power, would prefer not to see it. WikiLeaks must publish. It must publish and be damned.
People are clamoring over the latest #SickHillary video of her being cow-herded from an airplane into a waiting SUV. Everyone wants it to be Parkinsons or Seizures, however the simple answer is that she’s just fucking drunk. How do I know? I know alcohol, and I know alcoholics, and anyone not sucking their own dick knows Hillary loves to drink. Watch this video embedded in the tweet below. Expand it to full screen and observe. Notice the way Bill had to get her moving, and how she just drops her arm to her side, and then how she periscopes up like a drunk person trying not to act drunk – like she gives a shit about what’s going on over at the plane. This woman is three sheets to the wind. You’ll note I’m not embedding a youtube clip, mostly because Youtube has been censoring all but 8-bit res versions of this video all night.
So clearly Hillary is a fucking alcoholic drunkly stumbling off a plane, but I know you want your #SICKHILLARY fix, so here she is getting chucked into a van like a side of beef:
And here’s Hillary bailing after walking UP some airplane stairs:
Here’s a compilation of #SICKHILLARY including getting chucked into the van like a side of beef:
And in case you missed it, here’s #SICKHILLARY / #DRUNKHILLARY helping two men up a flight of stairs:
A Hillary win undoubtedly means death and destruction will rain down wherever and whenever the USA is challenged, or some despot wants abandon the USD. With yesterday’s news of 300,000 NATO troops put on high alert for direct conflict with Russia over a fucking pipeline, it’s clear that this inconvenient election has only temporarily paused the neocon agenda.
Let’s take a look at some of the toys Hillary is going to use to turn countless Ruskies and impoverished Syrians to pink paste. You’ll note that Lockheed Martin is not on there, mostly because I doubt their ability to turn the beleaguered F-35 JSF program around. Lockheed was also a stop on James Comey’s path to the head of the FBI, which perhaps explains how they secured the F35 contract which has topped $1.45 Trillion. Fuck that, shady Lockheed is not going on my list even if their stock is set to triple.
M109A7 155mm Paladin Self-Propelled Howitzer Artillery System
This little puppy is an upgrade to the M109A7 Paladin used in Kuwait. BAE was awarded a $245.3 Million contract in 2015 for the first order of 66 units, with anexpected rollout of 580 vehicle sets (M109A7 + M99283 ammunition carrier combo).
The Paladin M109A7 next-generation artillery system being manufactured by BAE Systems is a significant upgrade to the combat-proven M109A6 Paladin cannon artillery system. The enhanced artillery system offers key fire-support for a variety of potential combat missions conducted by the US Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCTs) in conventional, hybrid, irregular and counterinsurgency combat environments.
The US Army awarded a $688m contract to BAE Systems in October 2013 for the production of Paladin M109A7 artillery systems, with an option to procure a total of 66 vehicle sets including a self-propelled howitzer and an ammunition resupply vehicle. The artillery system was inducted into low rate initial production (LRIP) in May 2014, while full rate production is expected to commence in 2017.
Last month BAE was awarded a $600 Million contract by the US Navy to build laser guided rockets, and are expected to produce up to 20,000 APKWSTM units / year. Expect Russian scum to pay dearly for hacking our supreme commander’s server.
Type 26 Gun System
BAE was awarded a $245 Million contract in July to develop the Maritime Indirect Fires System (MIFS) for the UK’s Type 26 Global Combat Ship. This will come in handy fighting the Russian fleet over Syria, as well as helping our Saudi friends repel rebel scum in Yemen.
The MQ-88B Fire Scout is a cute little helicopter of death, able to perform reconnaissance as well as deliver munitions.
Northrop Grumman’s battle-proven, unmanned vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft system MQ-8B Fire Scout is designed to deliver intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR), aerial fire support, laser designation and battle management services to tactical military operators. The Fire Scout can be deployed from any air-capable vessel or land base in support of ground, air and sea forces.
BACN: Battlefield Airborne Communications Node
Northrop Grumman’s Battlefield Airborne Communications Node is deployed on the EQ-4B Global Hawk and Bombardier E-11A Global Express
After landing a $782 Million contract in 2006 and a successful deployment in Afghanistan, Northrop is in the catbird’s seat for their airborne communications system in future conflicts.
BACN is a high-altitude, airborne communications gateway that translates and distributes imagery, video, voice and data, often from disparate elements, enhancing situational awareness, communications and coordination for warfighters in the air and on the ground. The system can act as a high-altitude relay and has been used for missions such as airdrop and airstrike operations.
Long Range Strike Bomber: Upcoming And Super Secret!
In the largest contract since James Comey’s Lockheed Martin won the Joint Strike Fighter deal, Grumman will be developing the new Long Range Strike Bomber for the US Air Force. The program is expected to exceed $55 Billion, and will surely kick into high gear if we go to war over Syria.
Northrop’s win is a game-changer for the aerospace company, which is currently the sixth-largest defense contractor, behind Lockheed and Boeing. With the contract in hand, Northrop will no longer struggle to retain its grip on the combat aircraft market. Not only does the bomber contract boost Northrop’s aviation capital, it also likely keeps the company’s Palmdale, California, facility afloat. –Defense News
Raytheon is a scary, scary company. They are currently working on their $174 Million award to develop a hypersonic missile, a $178 Million contract with the Navy for their SeaSparrow defense system, and a $255 Million contract to develop an automated landing system for drones and manned aircraft. They also make the ASPIS II system which allows for an interconnected flight squadron that can coordinate data. Aside from these, Raytheon will have this cute and highly adaptable system on the ground in any future conflicts:
BGM-71 TOW – Tube Launched, optically-tracked, bunker buster (equippable) long range heavy munitions system.
This little bottle rocket is used around the world to fuck shit up, massively. From Raytheon’s description:
The tube-launched, optically-tracked, wireless-guided (TOW®) Weapon System, with the multi-mission TOW 2A, TOW 2B Aero and TOW Bunker Buster missiles, is the premier long-range, heavy assault-precision anti-armor, anti-fortification and anti-amphibious landing weapon system used throughout the world today.
The TOW 2A, TOW 2B Aero and TOW Bunker Buster missiles can be fired from all TOW launchers – including the Improved Target Acquisition Systems (ITAS), Stryker anti-tank guided missile vehicle (modified ITAS) and Bradley Fighting Vehicles (Improved Bradley Acquisition Subsystem).
With its extended range performance, the TOW Weapon System is the long-range precision, heavy anti-tank and assault weapon system of choice for the U.S. Army Stryker, Bradley Fighting Vehicle, ITAS High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle and Light Armored Vehicle-Anti-tank platforms. The TOW weapon system will be in service with the U.S. military beyond 2050.
SAIC has been intimately involved with the US Government since Robert “Bob” Beyster founded the company in 1969. After an internal coup in 2013 led to the ouster of Beyster and the splitting up of the company, SAIC stock has skyrocketed. They have their hands in so many pots through their “line organization” subsidiaries that it’s probably appropriate to call them a military defense conglomerate. You can thumb through their current press releases to see what the fuck they’ve been up to recently, but suffice to say – if the USA is going “all in” over Syria, SAIC will be along for the ride.
During Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, General Dynamics was awarded a $2.2 Billion contract to handle supply chain management for the State Department. Additionally, just last month they were awarded a $900 Million USSOCOM (US Special Ops Command):
Under the terms of the contract, GD said it will provide USSOCOM forces and staff with technical and management support around the globe. GD also stated all work under the contract will be completed by ARMA Global, a subsidiary of GD’s information technology business segment.
Furthermore, GD noted it will deliver “engineering and technical services for major weapon systems, program technical assistance, support systems requirements and assist with production decision-making and program controls” as part of the agreement.
General Dynamics also makes the following hardware:
Stryker Dragoon 8-wheel drive troop transport:
The Stryker is the US Military’s premiere troop transport system, and it has been heavily upgraded recently for anticipated conflict. As Breakingdefense.com highlights:
The armored eight-wheel-drive troop transport, built by General Dynamics and normally armed with no more than a 0.50 calibre (12.7 millimeter) machinegun in an unprotected mount, has been rebuilt with an armored turret containing a 30 mm quickfiring cannon.
That’s enough firepower, the Army computes, to dispose of other lightly armored vehicles like the Russian BMP troop carrier. If the Russians invade the Baltics, the Stryker Dragoon can’t stop their heavy tanks, but it can thin out their scout vehicles and transports, allowing American M1 tanks to focus their 120 mm firepower on the heaviest targets.
Hydra-70 air-to-ground Rocket System
Used heavily in Afghanistan, the Hydra 70 rocket is a 2.75-inch fin-stabilized unguided rocket used primarily in the air-to-ground role. It can be equipped with a variety of warheads, and in more recent versions, guidance systems for point attacks. The Hydra is widely used by US and allied forces, competing with the Canadian CRV-7 which is physically interchangeable. -Wikipedia
I hope this list of defense companies is helpful. Put them on your radar and consider them fit for your arsenal should Chairman Hillary saunter back into the White House in January.

Carbon Fiber stocks? Armor manufacturers? Other logistics?
Poor James Comey. Having outlived his usefulness to the Establishment, The Daily Mail reports that Valerie Jarrett, senior advisor to President Obama, has convinced Barry Hussein O’Bama to shitcan the poor former HSBC board member and former top attorney for Lockheed Martin (a job he landed with no prior fortune 300 defense experience).
According to a White House source familiar with Obama’s decision, Jarrett and the president held lengthy discussions over the past several days about the political and legal ramifications of firing the FBI director.
The president was furious with Comey for reopening the FBI’s investigation of Hillary’s emails 11 days before the election, then admitting two days before the election that he couldn’t find any cause for taking action against the Democratic nominee. –Daily Mail
I’m sure Comey will retire in luxury, serving pizza to all his friends and moonlighting in top positions at Fortune 300 companies he has no qualifications to hold.
Not content with simply cheating during debates, here’s DNC research director Lauren Dillon asking for questions to give Wolf Blitzer for his CNN interview with Donald Trump.
You paid for the WHOLE SEAT, but you’re only gonna need THE EDGE…
Time for a Sunday evening celebration, for there is a pending bear rape of epic proportions about to take place. Definitely impartial FBI director Comey has risen to high places since his humble days as a board member for drug money laundering Clinton Foundation partner HSBC. Comey landed this board position only months after Loretta Lynch’s decision as NYAG to tell them to “cut it out” with a slap on the wrist when they laundered drug money for Mexican and South American cartels. Bad Hombres.
The banks’ laundering transactions were so brazen that the NSA probably could have spotted them from space. Breuer admitted that drug dealers would sometimes come to HSBC’s Mexican branches and “deposit hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, in a single day, into a single account, using boxes designed to fit the precise dimensions of the teller windows.” -Rolling Stone
Enough ancient irrelevant history, let’s check in around the interwebs for reactions to Comey’s 8 day (691,200 second) email investigation to check out 650,000 emails – which BTW – has nothing to do with the ongoing Clinton Foundation investigation. I’m sure they used some CSI shit like “search filters” and “enhance” to ensure accuracy and confirm benign yoga and wedding content. Let’s also ignore the whole “confirmation she passed classified info around like snoop hands out joints,” even having her FUCKING MAID fax classified materials. #presidential
Leading up to today’s announcement, there have been some bold statements made by journalists regarding inside sources at the FBI and NYPD. Let’s review:
DUPLICATES OR NOT
4 days ago Fox’s Bret Baier reported that the emails were not duplicates, and the next day CBS supported that statement:
Today, however, we were informed that the emails were in fact largely duplicates.
NYPD CHIEF OUTRAGE
According to True Pundit, the NYPD chief of police reportedly said the following;
“What’s in the emails is staggering and as a father, it turned my stomach,” the NYPD Chief said. “There is not going to be any Houdini-like escape from what we found. We have copies of everything. We will ship them to Wikileaks or I will personally hold my own press conference if it comes to that.”
In light of today’s FBI announcement, some people are doubting the veracity of True Pundit’s claim. One would think however, that the NYPD would officially refute such a hyperbolic claim. If you find any such statement, please let me know and I will update this post.
If “inside sources” at the FBI and NYPD hold any grain of truth, I would expect someone within either of those organizations to risk imprisonment and death to get the “sickening” information to the public. How many career agents for either organization truly feel that Hillary is a threat to national security? Were reports of a “Life Insurance” file true?
10,000 new emails found on Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner's computer and phones. They were in a file marked "Life Insurance". #Corruption
