| Was Seattle’s Notorious Protest Zone Doomed by Recent Shootings? Posted: 24 Jun 2020 01:32 AM PDT  After a few remarkable weeks of free food, far-right agitation, and most recently, multiple shootings, Seattle's Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) looks like it might be on the rocks.The CHOP (formerly known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ) is an approximately six-block zone in Seattle where, after a violent crackdown by police against racial justice protesters, the city agreed to withdraw police and clear the streets for demonstrations. Activists quickly set up tents and issued a list of demands including police abolition and de-gentrification measures like rent control. But Seattle never agreed to keep police out forever. And after a trio of shootings in and around the zone, the city is calling to dismantle the CHOP, leaving activists wondering how to keep the protest going.In a Monday press conference, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said the city would work with activists to dismantle the CHOP."It's time for people to go home. It is time for us to restore Cal Anderson [Park] and Capitol Hill so it can be a vibrant part of the community," Durkan said at the press conference. "We can still accommodate people who want to protest peacefully, come there and gather. But the impacts on the businesses and residents and community are now too much."She added that police would re-enter the neighborhood precinct, which was boarded up when cops left the area on June 8, although she did not elaborate on a timeline for the reintroduction of police. Seattle Police did not return a request for comment.A spokesperson for the CHOP-affiliated group, Seattle Organized Protest Support said the disbandment talk had led to divergent views within the neighborhood."There is a lot of uncertainty going around in the CHOP right now, different people have different opinions," the spokesperson told The Daily Beast. "As far as the groups that I'm in, it seems that the general consensus is to follow Black leaders for the next step, which is tricky in and of itself because we never know who is working with the city and who isn't."Other encampment-based movements have faced similar predicaments in the past. The Occupy Wall Street protests lasted approximately three months camped in a downtown Manhattan park before police raided the scene and sent the movement spiraling. Todd Gitlin, a Columbia University professor and author of the book Occupy Nation, said the uprooted camp sites face an ideological reckoning."The problem for manifestations that come together around an occasion, like a park to occupy, is 'well then what?'" Gitlin told The Daily Beast. "How do you sustain yourself when the occupation is over? In the case of Occupy, there were these hundreds of encampments, but they were all land-dependent. They had no other identity. They had no other connections."Some Occupy organizers turned to more electoral politics, like joining the 2016 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, or became active in issues like housing rights, Gitlin noted. Others appeared to leave the political scene.The CHOP zone's cop-free cred is one of its main attractions. But several shootings in or near the CHOP in recent days have left some Seattle officials, Durkan included, calling for resumed police details. Early Tuesday morning, a man was injured in a non-life-threatening shooting near—but apparently not in—the CHOP. The incident followed a Saturday morning shooting that left a 19-year-old dead and a 33-year-old critically wounded in the CHOP. A 17-year-old was also shot in the arm Sunday night.Some activists and at least one Seattle City Council member have sparred with officials over the characterization of the incidents."We completely reject the characterizations – by right-wing & corporate media, Trump administration, and Seattle Police Officers Guild president – of the CHOP as a violent place & the claims that the presence of police would have prevented either shooting," Seattle City Council Member Kshama Sawant tweeted on Monday. She noted that neither of the weekend shootings appear to have been committed by protesters. (Police have not made arrests in either case.)Other activists have taken issue with the police chief's claim that a "hostile crowd" of protesters prevented officers from responding to the Saturday shooting. "No one within the CHOP denied entry to PD within any organizational capacity," organizers told KOMO News after the shooting. "Officers deciding on their own not to enter an area is not the same as being denied entry." (Police body camera footage from the incident appears to show some people yelling at police, but officers moving without obstruction.)Nevertheless, the shootings have placed new challenges on a protest movement that was already a favorite villain of conservative voices and far-right groups, some of which have entered the CHOP armed and been involved in a fistfight near the zone.After the Saturday shooting, the group Voices of CHOP issued a letter "acknowledg[ing] that no organizations, protests, or revolutions are perfect. We must be willing to collectively learn and react quickly to mistakes within our movement. We do not want to see what was started with the intention of lifting the BLM message destroyed."The group suggested two changes to curb unruliness in the CHOP, including "safe [drug] use areas near the outskirts of C.H.O.P.," along with signage asking people to "keep safe distance away from C.H.O.P. while intoxicated." The letter also acknowledged that "the late hours of C.H.O.P. tend to give way to some problematic behavior." The group suggested reducing the CHOP's operating hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., clearing the zone out overnight but leaving enough people "for peace keeping and occupy purposes."Sawant tweeted that her City Council office supports the proposal to cut operating hours in half. But momentum behind the protest zone shifting to part time also comes as attendance has apparently begun to fizzle out. A live-streamer who has closely covered the protests told the Washington Post attendance has dwindled since its beginning in early June.Amid the mayor's calls to dissolve the CHOP, and the reportedly organic dissolution by protesters who've stopped showing up, some CHOP backers are emphasizing the protest's more abstract qualities as a way to keep the movement alive."As socialists," Sawant tweeted, "we recognize capitalism is a deeply violent system, and that an occupation in a few city blocks cannot by itself form a society separate from the violence, trauma, and ills that absolutely pervade capitalist society as a whole."For some protesters, that means returning to the protests extensive demands. As of Monday, a handmade sign on the zone's abandoned precinct announced some activists' stance not to leave until the city defunds its police force by 50 percent, introduces new funding for Black communities, and releases people arrested in the protests that erupted after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.The CHOP has been in place fewer than three weeks. Occupy Wall Street stayed in its encampment nearly three months—and even still, Gitlin characterized the protest as "more of a moment than a movement."That said, Occupy made enduring political waves because "it was a moment that dovetailed with other moments, and we can see retrospectively that they contributed to a kind of revitalization or awakening outsider energy looking for ways to get traction in the American scene."The CHOP might be short-lived, some organizers have indicated, but it stems from sweeping, nationwide protests, into which activists might continue their energy.The Seattle Organized Protest Support released its own statement on Monday reiterating those three demands, noting that, as an occupied area, "CHOP may not be a sustainable fight."The six blocks weren't the point of the original protest, the SOPS spokesperson said."CHOP wasn't the goal, and the people who are fighting the fight recognize that," the representative said. "The people came up with three demands that were the original goal, everything born out of that is temporary and was never meant to distract from the purpose of the fight."Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

| North Korea suspends military action against South Korea Posted: 23 Jun 2020 06:06 PM PDT  North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has presided over a meeting of the ruling party's Central Military Commission and decided to suspend military action plans against South Korea, the official KCNA news agency reported on Wednesday. The video conference meeting on Tuesday also discussed documents outlining measures for "further bolstering the war deterrent of the country," KCNA reported. The committee members "took stock of the prevailing situation" before deciding to suspend the military plans, the report said, without elaborating. Political tensions between the rival Koreas have been rising over Pyongyang's objections to plans by defector-led groups in the South to fly propaganda leaflets over to the North. North Korea claims the moves violate an agreement between the two aimed at preventing military confrontation, and accused the defectors of insulting the dignity of North Korea's supreme leadership.

| Comey Told Obama that Flynn’s Conversations with Russian Ambassador ‘Appear Legit,’ According to Strzok Notes Posted: 24 Jun 2020 08:47 AM PDT  Former FBI director James Comey told President Obama that the 2016 conversations between Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and incoming national-security adviser Michael Flynn were not criminal in nature, according to notes from former agent Peter Strzok released by Flynn's legal team.The page of notes was taken by Strzok appears to describe a January 5, 2017 meeting of President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and national security officials. This meeting occurred amid accusations that incoming Trump administration officials had colluded with Russian operatives. Strzok was not present at the meeting, and it is unclear what record of the meeting he consulted in taking the notes.Strzok writes that "P," presumably President Obama, asked, "Is there anything I shouldn't be telling transition team?"Strzok records that "D," or Director Comey, responded "Kislyak calls but appear legit."> ALSO JUST IN: Flynn legal team files a page of Strzok's notes, which appear to describe the Jan. 5 meetign with Obama and natsec team> > Notes indicate Biden mentioned the Logan Act, but entirely devoid of context. pic.twitter.com/lGsj0DepHm> > -- Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) June 24, 2020In transcripts of conversations between Flynn and Kislyak released on May 29 of this year, Flynn is recorded asking the Russian ambassador not to escalate tensions in response to U.S. sanctions. Those sanctions were implemented by the Obama administration following reports that Russia attempted to interfere in the U.S. general election.Strzok's notes also indicate that "VP" Biden mentioned the "Logan Act" during the meeting, although the context of Biden's remark is unclear. The Logan Act of 1799 forbids U.S. citizens from intervening in disputes with foreign nations without authorization. The law has been cited only twice in U.S. history in two cases in the 1800's and no one has ever been found guilty of violating the statute.While the FBI had monitored Flynn's conversations with Kislyak, the agency moved to close the case on January 4, 2017, indicating it had found "no derogatory information" on Flynn. However, that same day Strzok intervened to keep the case open. Strzok told an unknown individual that day that the "7th floor [is] involved," apparently referring to senior FBI leadership at the bureau's headquarters.Strzok was fired by the FBI after anti-Trump texts between him and agency lawyer Lisa Page were revealed."Your excessive, repeated, and politically charged text messages while you were assigned as the lead case agent on the FBI's two biggest and most politically sensitive investigations in decades, demonstrated a gross lack of professionalism and exceptionally poor judgement," the Justice Department said in 2019.

| GOP House Candidate Insists George Floyd Killing Was Staged Posted: 24 Jun 2020 01:27 AM PDT  A Republican House candidate in Missouri has published her own half-baked report claiming that the video of George Floyd's death—which has sparked nationwide protests to end the racial inequities in the criminal-justice system—is, in fact, a staged "false flag." Winnie Heartstrong, a candidate running for the St. Louis congressional seat held by Lacy Clay (D-MO), has pushed conspiracy theories about Floyd's death for nearly a month on Twitter. In late May, a video featuring Heartstrong claiming that "George Floyd is alive" circulated among far-right Twitter accounts and received more than 100,000 views. Heartstrong went further last week with a 23-page document laying out a series of incoherent conspiracy theories about Floyd's death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. Heartstrong insists Floyd actually died years earlier, and the video that shows his death is actually a bogus "deepfake" meant to stir up racial tensions. "We conclude that no one in the video is really one person but rather they are all digital composites of two or more real people to form completely new digital persons using deepfake technology," Heartstrong writes in the document, which she claims was created with help from "citizen investigators." Perhaps the strangest part of Heartstrong's report is the claim that Ben Bailey, a comedian who surprises taxi passengers with the chance to win money on the game show Cash Cab, was somehow involved in playing the role of Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer charged with killing Floyd. Heartstrong's report is replete with graphics comparing Chauvin's face to Bailey's, including one declaring "Boom! Here's the 'killer cop.'""Citizen investigators have suggested that the 'officer Chauvin' who appears in the arrest video bears a striking resemblance to the actor and comedian Benjamin Ray Bailey who features in Cash Cab," Heartstrong writes. Cops' Most Deranged Lies and Bizarre Claims About the ProtestsThe Cash Cab conspiracy theory has caught on with some elements of the pro-Trump QAnon movement, based solely on the idea that Chauvin looks somewhat like Bailey. But it remains on the fringe of the conspiracy-theory internet and is unusual to see touted so openly—particularly from someone running for federal office. Heartstrong declined to comment about her Floyd conspiracy theories, referring The Daily Beast to her document and her May video about the matter. In the video, Heartstrong laid out a gruesome scheme for how she claimed the murder could be staged. "You lure in a homeless man, you give him some drugs laced with poison, and you kill him," Heartstrong, who is Black, said in the video. "Black America, you all need to wake up and stop being so emotional," Despite her bizarre claims, Heartstrong stands a good chance of winning the Republican primary on Aug. 4, although she would almost certainly lose the general election. Heartstrong's claims about Floyd have caught on with right-wing conspiracy theorists and have earned her appearances on internet radio shows, including a YouTube show hosted by conspiracy theorist David Zublick, who has more than 175,000 subscribers on the site.More importantly, Heartstrong's only primary opponent is Anthony Rogers, a podcaster and comedian whose social-media pages feature off-the-wall video endorsements from figures like Joe Exotic campaign manager Joshua Dial, and schlock director Uwe Boll. Former Trump adviser Roger Stone, who is awaiting a 40-month prison term, has also endorsed Rogers, calling him "exactly the kind of hellraiser we need to send to Congress." Rogers' campaign website currently returns a connection error, making it difficult to connect to on most browsers. But his primary chances may be hurt more by his reputation for what St. Louis' Riverfront Times described as "offensive posts," including a 2014 Thought Catalog post about the shooting of Ferguson, Missouri, teen Michael Brown that said Brown was doing "hood rat shit."Rogers didn't respond to a request for comment. While Heartstrong didn't comment on her claims about Floyd's death, she was happy to comment on her primary foe in an email to The Daily Beast, claiming that Rogers is "not actively campaigning."When she's not promoting conspiracy theories, Heartstrong has positioned herself as a staunchly anti-abortion candidate. Before moving to Missouri, she ran as a Republican for a seat in the Maryland House of Delegates. She undertook that 2018 bid under the name Winnie Obike, and received just 5 percent of the vote.Even if she were to prevail in the primary, Heartstrong is almost certain to lose in the general election to Clay, who has been in the House since 2001. Election analysts at the Cook Political Report rate the district as "D+29," meaning Democrats are heavily favored."They're going to take the ass-whupping, so it don't make no difference," said Mike Jones, a St. Louis political analyst and race and politics columnist for The St. Louis American. "And the lucky one might be the one that lost [the primary]."Can a New Algorithm Prevent Police Brutality? Minneapolis Wants to Find OutStill, the prospect of Heartstrong, an outspoken Floyd truther, winning the primary could represent a new headache for the GOP as other conspiracy theorists win nominations elsewhere in the country. A QAnon believer won the party's nomination for an Oregon Senate seat, while another QAnon supporter is poised to win a nomination in a heavily Republican House district in Georgia.And, for her part, Heartstrong doesn't seem poised to run her race quietly. She claims she represents a group of Floyd "investigators" who want a presidential investigation into whether the Floyd video was faked. "We urge President Trump to open an investigation into these claims to help resolve the issue of deepfake technology once and for all," Heartstrong writes.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
