The (former) records supervisor for the Albuquerque cops <a href=\"http:\/\/www.copblock.org\/168578\/records-supervisor-claims-albuquerque-cops-illegally-altered-deleted-shooting-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\">has filed an affidavit<\/a> stating that the notoriously violent and corrupt police department routinely altered or deleted videos of them shooting people.\n<li>Kit Perez on the laziness of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.recoveringstatist.com\/digital-privacy-laziness-self-surveillance-state\/\" target=\"_blank\">digital self-surveillance<\/a> by freedomistas.\n<li>They haven&#8217;t reached wheelbarrow stage yet, but Venezuelans now can&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/worldviews\/wp\/2016\/11\/27\/venezuelas-currency-is-so-devalued-it-no-longer-fits-in-ordinary-wallets\/\" target=\"_blank\">carry their inflated currency<\/a> in ordinary wallets.\n<li>Other socialist tyrannies have other ways of dealing with their own funny-money problems. When I saw this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/world-news\/taxes\/war-on-cash-taxing-cash-withdrawals\/\" target=\"_blank\">proposal to tax ATM withdrawals<\/a>, I didn&#8217;t consider it an immediate worry. Just something to file and be aware of. Then I immediately turned around and spotted that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-11-28\/greece-not-india-hellenic-banks-plan-tax-cash-withdrawals-combat-black-economy\" target=\"_blank\">Greece may be on the verge of doing just that<\/a>. They&#8217;re desperate, people. They&#8217;re out of control, out of options, and moving fast in their panic.\n<li>While everybody&#8217;s had their eyes turned toward Italy (where a potentially EU-shattering referendum is happening this weekend), little ole Denmark <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-denmark-government-idUSKBN13N1VL?il=0\" target=\"_blank\">made a small, polite move<\/a> against the EU. Small, but they clearly reserve bigger moves on a wait-and-see basis.\n<li>So lessee &#8230; Trump thought Hillary should be in jail for her mishandling of state secrets. But he&#8217;s considering Petraeus as Secretary of State despite the fact that the guy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2016\/11\/donald-trump-david-petraeus-231909\" target=\"_blank\">gave state secrets to his girlfriend<\/a> then lied about it to investigators. Yeah, that makes sense. There&#8217;s also the fact that the ex-general is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2nd-amendment\/2016\/06\/10\/general-david-petraeus-forming-gun-control-group-with-mark-kelly\/\" target=\"_blank\">gun banner<\/a>.\n<li>Matt Taibi, no friend to Donald Trump, nevertheless <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/features\/washington-post-blacklist-story-is-shameful-disgusting-w452543\" target=\"_blank\">slams the WaPo hard<\/a> for the vast depths of its idiocy in printing (on the front page, yet) that weird, ridiculously sourced story accusing everybody not-a-neocon of being Russian pawns. Justin Raimondo, one of the accused pawns, <a href=\"http:\/\/original.antiwar.com\/justin\/2016\/11\/27\/the-witch-hunters\/\" target=\"_blank\">also lays into the nutty witch-hunters<\/a> of the senile, paranoid Post.\n<li>I&#8217;ve always loved the story of Nobel Prize winner Niels Bohr and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/krulwich\/2011\/10\/03\/140815154\/dissolve-my-nobel-prize-fast-a-true-story\" target=\"_blank\">dissolved prize medals<\/a>. I just never knew the details, which are even better than the shorthand version I&#8217;ve heard all these years.\n<li>The art of monkeywrenching is not dead. On the contrary, one anonymous soul <a href=\"https:\/\/therealstrategy.com\/activist-paints-penises-potholes-city-immediately-fills\/\" target=\"_blank\">has used it to great effect<\/a> to get his local government to take care of a long-neglected problem. (NSFW or for innocent little children.)\n<li>And <a href=\"http:\/\/cheezburger.com\/83837953\/video-christmas-wtf-stuff-your-stockings-with-freedom-this-christmas-thanks-to-the-texas-law-hawk\" target=\"_blank\">Merry Christmas &#8212; and more freedom<\/a> &#8212; from the ever-outrageous Texas Law Hawk.
