non, ce que j’apprécie beaucoup ici c’est le second graph (même si je ne sais pas trop ce qu’il représente.... ils parlent d’écart-type, peut être est-ce juste « NA », « pas de réponse »). Il permet de voir justement l’incertitude, le « je sais pas trop, je ne connais pas ces pays ». Etrangement, je pense qu’on aurait la même chose en France : si on regarde l’amérique du sud, à part le Brésil, le Chili et l’Argentine, c’est la confusion... Le pire est ensuite l’Afrique et le sud de la Russie....J’aimerais bien trouver des cartes, faites par pays, avec un « % qui ont réussi à placer correctement ce pays sur la carte »

Petite synthèse à propos de la récente occupation d’un bâtiment fédéral par une #milice d’#extrême-droite en Oregon
▻https://reason.com/blog/2016/01/03/armed-protesters-occupy-remote-federal-o
(vu sur twitter ▻https://twitter.com/CorentinSellin/status/683593205183574016 )Les événements d’#Oregon (occupation d’un bâtiment fédéral par une milice armée) sont liés à l’affaire qui secoue l’Ouest depuis 2014.
Depuis 1993, le fermier Bundy du Nevada fait paître ses troupeaux illégalement sur des terres fédérales. En 2013, il est condamné par un juge. En avril 2014, des US rangers vinrent appliquer ce jugement fédéral, confisquer le troupeau de Bundy. Ils sont repoussés par des miliciens. L’affrontement en avril 2014 entre les forces de l’ordre fédérales et les miliciens armés de Bundy est retransmis sur #FoxNews.
Bundy, républicain père de 14 enfants, devient l’icône des conservateurs radicaux : Rand Paul, Bachmann lui apportent leur soutien. Sauf que Bundy livre vite à la TV son opinion raffinée sur les Afro-Américains « mieux dans l’esclavage ». ▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bf-AxkBp-0
Le fermier est vite lâché par les élus républicains « ultras » mais sa ferme devient le « Fort Chabrol » de milices sécessionnistes armées et il coagule autour de lui tous ceux refusant la souveraineté de l’Etat fédéral comme la milice « Oath Keepers ».

Quand les Hammond de l’Oregon sont condamnés par un juge à 5 ans de prison pour incendie de terres fédérales, il voit l’opportunité.
L’occupation du bâtiment fédéral de l’Oregon par les Oath Keepers et deux de ses fils est l’occasion de « dupliquer » la « rébellion ».
L’occupation armée en Oregon est un acte clair de défiance/sécession de Bundy et des milices face à l’#Etat fédéral

Ce mouvement fait écho à la « Sagebrush Rebellion », un mouvement revendiquant la privatisation des terres fédérales dans les années 1970. En effet, survivance de la conquête de l’Ouest, le gouvernement fédéral est propriétaire de gigantesques espaces de territoire dans les 11 Etats de l’Ouest – 81 % dans le Nevada, 53 % dans l’Oregon, 28,5 % dans l’Etat de Washington, contre 4 % en moyenne pour le reste des Etats-Unis.
Ces espaces sont gérés par le bureau de gestion du territoire (Bureau of Land Management, ou BLM, qui dépend du ministère de l’intérieur), l’office des forêts des Etats-Unis (The USDA Forest Service, qui dépend du département de l’agriculture), le Fish and Wildlife Service (un organisme qui s’occupe de la gestion et de la préservation de la faune et qui dépend du ministère de l’intérieur) et le National Park Service (agence chargée de gérer les parcs nationaux, les monuments nationaux, les propriétés historiques, les zones protégées du domaine fédéral qui dépend du ministère de l’intérieur).

The Oregon standoff is far bigger than a group of armed men in a forest
▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/01/04/the-oregon-standoff-is-far-bigger-than-a-group-of-armed-men-in-a-forest/?tid=sm_twThe weekend occupation of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon may seem like the ravings of a small group of armed activists, but it belongs to a much larger movement in the western United States. Lawmakers in at least 11 states have in recent years explored the possibility of taking back federal land in their own way: through their state legislatures.
Before this weekend’s incident, and before the Cliven Bundy confrontation in Nevada in 2014, there was Utah’s H.B. 148. In 2012, Utah passed that bill into law, requiring the federal government turn over the public lands within the state. The law carried little force — the end-of-2014 deadline for the transfer came and went — but it signified the start of a new chapter in the four-decade fight over Western land.

Extremist takeover in Oregon: What we know versus what is said | Warscapes
▻http://warscapes.com/blog/extremist-takeover-oregon-what-we-know-versus-what-saidot long after extremists stormed the Malheur Wildlife Refuge did local news begin to cover a baffling, if not anxious scene. The anti-government “militia” was no stranger to the Burns, Oregon community, with ongoing interactions with federal officials to protest the incarceration of two ranchers, but Saturday marked a turning point in the dialogue: what was billed as a peaceful protest became an armed takeover of a federal building. Sheriff David Ward called the peaceful rally a ruse, claiming "these men had alternative motives to attempt to overthrow the county and federal government in hopes to spark a movement across the United States.”
-
The standoff with armed militia in Oregon escalated on Friday after police swooped in on one of the protesters to make the first arrest in connection with the two-week occupation of a federal wildlife refuge.
Kenneth Medenbach, who was arrested for unauthorized use of a government vehicle, is a chainsaw sculptor and longtime nemesis of the government with a history of previous entanglements with the courts over the occupation of federal lands.
He is the first militiaman connected to the armed occupation to be arrested since the bird sanctuary in rural Oregon was unexpectedly taken over on 2 January.
Medenbach, 62, was detained outside a Safeway supermarket in Burns, Oregon, some 30 miles from the Malheur national wildlife refuge, according to a statement from the Harney County sheriff’s office.
He appears to have driven from the occupied compound to a local supermarket in a vehicle allegedly stolen from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which runs the refuge. The sheriff’s office statement said that law enforcement officers recovered “two vehicles stolen from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge”.

Police fatally shoot nearly 1,000 people in 2016 | The Washington Post
▻http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2015/12/26/a-year-of-reckoning-police-fatally-shoot-nearly-1000Nearly a thousand times this year, an American police officer has shot and killed a civilian.
When the people hired to protect their communities end up killing someone, they can be called heroes or criminals — a judgment that has never come more quickly or searingly than in this era of viral video, body cameras and dash cams. A single bullet fired at the adrenaline-charged apex of a chase can end a life, wreck a career, spark a riot, spike racial tensions and alter the politics of the nation.
About this story: The killing of an unarmed black man by a white police officer last year in Ferguson, Mo., ignited a national debate and exposed the federal government’s failure to track the use of deadly force by police. The Washington Post launched a comprehensive project to log every on-duty fatal shooting by police in 2015. The resulting database chronicled shootings nationwide in real time, using news reports and other public sources. The Post compiled data about each death, including the race of those killed, whether they were armed and descriptions of the events. The project revealed that police nationwide were killing more than twice as many people as the FBI had previously reported. In October, the agency’s director, James B. Comey, said it was “unacceptable” that journalists had become the leading source of information on the subject. In December, an FBI official told The Post the agency is overhauling how it tracks violent police encounters, calling it “the highest priority.” The Post will continue tracking fatal shootings by police in 2016.
In a year-long study, The Washington Post found that the kind of incidents that have ignited protests in many U.S. communities — most often, white police officers killing unarmed black men — represent less than 4 percent of fatal police shootings. Meanwhile, The Post found that the great majority of people who died at the hands of the police fit at least one of three categories: they were wielding weapons, they were suicidal or mentally troubled, or they ran when officers told them to halt.
The Post sought to compile a record of every fatal police shooting in the nation in 2015, something no government agency had done. The project began after a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., in August 2014, provoking several nights of fiery riots, weeks of protests and a national reckoning with the nexus of race, crime and police use of force.

Ils reprochent quoi à la politique étrangère d’Aladdin et Jasmine ?
-
-
Sans trop me faire d’illusions sur le niveau de compétence géopolitique de l’électeur républicain, je vois quelques biais :
– le premier biais est que "ar-Raqqah" et "Agrabah", dit à haute voix, ce n’est tout de même pas si éloigné que ça ; c’est pas comme si les gens confondaient « Minneapolis » et « Bagdad ».
– Raqqah n’est tout de même pas la plus connue des villes de la région ; et à l’inverse il faudrait que tout le monde sache à brûle-pourpoint qu’Agrabah est une ville imaginaire de chez Disney (Aladin, 1992 – ça fait quand même 25 ans) ;
– et enfin (surtout ?), quand on met des pièges insultants dans un sondage, il me semblerait assez normal que les gens qui s’en rendent compte cessent de participer au sondage (« non mais vous vous foutez de moi, c’est quoi ce sondage ? ») ; et donc on se retrouve à mesurer uniquement les gens qui ne se rendent compte de rien, et on fabrique ainsi artificiellement une sur-représentation des andouilles ; biais usuel sinon, c’est que les gens qu’on sonde sont « induits » à donner une opinion, donc pas à répondre « désolé, je ne peux pas répondre parce que je ne sais pas de quelle ville vous me parlez exactement, ça sonne comme la ville qu’on cite au sujet de Daesch mais pas exactement alors… » ;
– et enfin : éthiquement c’est problématique. La tromperie introduit encore un biais : la règle tacite d’un sondage c’est qu’on annonce aux gens le sujet des questions (« bonjour, c’est un sondage sur les opinions des gens quant à la géopolitique »), et donc les sondés n’ont rigoureusement aucune raison de se méfier d’une question-piège. Surtout dans une question qui est déjà elle-même très clivante (« faut-il bombarder telle ville ? ») et qui attire forcément l’attention vers autre chose qu’une ville imaginaire de Disney.

Multiple passes at fact-checking Clinton’s claim this week have concluded that “the protections of being a whistleblower” do not exist in the real world and did not apply to Snowden. A 1989 whistleblower law, for example, does not apply to intelligence community employees.

US government deporting Central American migrants to their deaths | US news | The Guardian
▻http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/12/obama-immigration-deportations-central-americaThe US government is deporting undocumented immigrants back to Central America to face the imminent threat of violence, with several individuals being murdered just days or months after their return, a Guardian investigation has found.
The Guardian has confirmed three separate cases of Honduran men who have been gunned down shortly after being deported by the US government. Each was murdered in their hometowns, soon after their return – one just a few days after he was expelled from the US.
Immigration experts believe that the Guardian’s findings represent just the tip of the iceberg. A forthcoming academic study based on local newspaper reports has identified as many as 83 US deportees who have been murdered on their return to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras since January 2014.
Human rights groups warn that deterrent measures taken by the Obama administration after last year’s “surge” in arrivals at the border of unaccompanied children from Central America have triggered a series of powerful unintended consequences across the region.

I have no idea why you believe the Ayatollah doesn’t mean what he says, given they way he’s behaved. If they will shoot their own children down in the streets to keep power, what do you think they’ll do to ours?

Exclusive: 50 Spies Say ISIS Intelligence Was Cooked
►http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/09/exclusive-50-spies-say-isis-intelligence-was-cooked.htmlTwo senior analysts at CENTCOM signed a written complaint sent to the Defense Department inspector general in July alleging that the reports, some of which were briefed to President Obama, portrayed the terror groups as weaker than the analysts believe they are. The reports were changed by CENTCOM higher-ups to adhere to the administration’s public line that the U.S. is winning the battle against ISIS and al Nusra, al Qaeda’s branch in Syria, the analysts claim.
That complaint was supported by 50 other analysts, some of whom have complained about politicizing of intelligence reports for months. That’s according to 11 individuals who are knowledgeable about the details of the report and who spoke to The Daily Beast on condition of anonymity.
The accusations suggest that a large number of people tracking the inner workings of the terror groups think that their reports are being manipulated to fit a public narrative. The allegations echoed charges that political appointees and senior officials cherry-picked intelligence about Iraq’s supposed weapons program in 2002 and 2003.

Mais nous, sans aucun rapports d’agences de renseignement, nous avions bien constaté que Daesh ne reculait pas.
