Who is too blame for the rise of populist candidates?

Submitted by Steven D on Mon, 01/09/2017 - 5:42pmThis may comes as a shock to some of you (or not), but the US Intelligence Community has a history of falsely attributing cyber-attacks on various corporations, institutions and foreign governments on nation states it considers its adversaries with little or no evidence to support those claims.

Friday evening police were called to a Sioux Falls apartment building because a juvenile reported a strong odor emanating from a neighbor's apartment. Investigators discovered the body of Jamie Lee Wounded Arrow, a 28-year-old transgender woman. She reportedly had been stabbed to death.
Ms. Wounded Arrow was an Oglala Lakota who grew up on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
A vigil was held outside the building on Saturday evening.
We need justice and we will get it.
I’m still in shock. I keep thinking she’s going to text me or come up here.
I always judge myself more severely than everyone around me. She made me feel like I could be myself.
