A special prosecutor from the Illinois Attorney General’s office will prosecute misdemeanor charges against Jedidiah Brown, after Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx decision to recuse herself over allegations she had political ties to the community activist.

Cook County Circuit Judge LeRoy Martin Jr., chief of the criminal division, appointed the AG’s office at a hearing Thursday.

Foxx stepped aside from Brown’s case, which stemmed from a 2018 arrest at a protest in South Shore, after eight officers involved in the arrest said Foxx had a conflict of interest because Brown is a political supporter who shared the stage with her at a news conference April 6 at Rainbow/PUSH Coalition headquarters.

Foxx also posed for a selfie with Brown, who faces misdemeanor charges for resisting arrest and striking an officer during a 2018 demonstration in South Shore. Brown has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city and seven officers involved in the arrest.

Chicago's top prosecutor Kim Foxx subpoenaed in Jussie Smollett case
CHICAGO — Chicago's top prosecutor Kim Foxx has been subpoenaed to appear in court by a retired appellate judge who's pushing for a special prosecutor to investigate the handling of the case against actor Jussie Smollett.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Sheila O'Brien also subpoenaed Foxx's top deputy and requested that Smollett appear at a hearing on her request.

Foxx was harshly criticized when her office announced it was dropping charges against Smollett that accused the black, gay actor of staging a racist and anti-gay attack on himself in downtown Chicago.

Foreign AffairsParadise Cuban Style by OyinbowithaTan(op): 9:30pm On May 11, 2019

HAVANA (AP) — The Cuban government announced Friday that it is launching widespread rationing of chicken, eggs, rice, beans, soap and other basic products in the face of a grave economic crisis.

Commerce Minister Betsy Díaz Velázquez told the state-run Cuban News Agency that various forms of rationing would be employed in order to deal with shortages of staple foods. She blamed the hardening of the U.S. trade embargo by the Trump administration. Economists give equal or greater blame to a plunge in aid from Venezuela, where the collapse of the state-run oil company has led to a nearly two-thirds cut in shipments of subsidized fuel that Cuba used for power and to earn hard currency on the open market.

“We’re calling for calm,” Díaz said, adding that Cubans should feel reassured that at least cooking oil would be in ample supply. “It’s not a product that will be absent from the market in any way.”

Cuba imports roughly two thirds of its food at an annual cost of more than $2 billion and brief shortages of individual products have been common for years. In recent months, a growing number of products have started to go missing for days or weeks at a time, and long lines have sprung up within minutes of the appearance of scarce products like chicken or flour. Many shoppers find themselves still standing in line when the products run out, a problem the government has been blaming on “hoarders.”

“The country’s going through a tough moment. This is the right response. Without this, there’ll be hoarders. I just got out of work and I was able to buy hot dogs,” said Lazara García, a 56-year-old tobacco-factory worker.

At the Havana shopping center where García bought her hot dogs, cashiers received orders Friday morning to limit powdered milk to four packets per person, sausages to four packs per person and peas to five packets per person.

Manuel Ordoñez, 43, who identified himself as a small business owner, said the new measures would do nothing to resolve Cuban’s fundamental problems.

“What the country needs to do is produce. Sufficient merchandise is what will lead to shorter lines,” he said.

Limited rationing of certain products has already begun in many parts of the country, with stores limiting the number of items like bottles of cooking oil that a single shopper can purchase. The policy announced by Díaz appears to go further and apply the same standards across the country of 11 million people.

The Cuban economy crashed with the fall of the Soviet Union and plunged the island into a more than decade-long period of misery and hunger that ended with the arrival of subsidized Venezuelan oil in the early 2000s.

The latest shortages and rationing appear to mark the end of a phase of relative prosperity but conditions are nowhere close to the deprivation of what is known as Cuba’s “special period.” Cuba’s highest leaders say that while tough times lie ahead, there will be no return to the worst days of the post-Soviet depression because the island has diversified its economy and built trade ties with countries around the world.

Food stores in Cuba are government-run and sell products ranging from highly subsidized to wildly overpriced by global standards. Every Cuban receives a ration book that allows them to buy small quantities of basic goods like rice, beans, eggs and sugar each month for payment equivalent to a few U.S. cents.

Cubans with enough money can buy more of those basic goods at “liberated” prices that are still generally below the world average. At the highest of Cuba’s three tiers, brand-name goods from high-quality rice to fancy jams can be purchased for often two to three times the price in their country of origin.

Díaz said chicken will now be sold in limited quantities in every type of store — with cheaper chicken limited to 11 pounds per purchase and the more expensive variety capped at two packages per purchase.

Low-priced soap, rice, bean, peas and eggs will now only be sold in limited quantities per person and controlled through the national system of ration books, she said.

Sales of those products at higher prices do not appear to be affected for the moment. The measures can be expected to have a serious impact on private business owners who often buy cheaper-priced goods at state stores in the absence of access to a wholesale market. Cuba maintains a total monopoly on wholesale commerce, imports and exports, with virtually no access for the country’s small but growing private sector.

Díaz provided a grim series of statistics on food production by the state-run sector, which has found itself struggling to find the cash it needs to pay for basic inputs.

She said that in March Cuba produced 900,000 fewer eggs than the 5.7 million needed daily to satisfy national demand. That deficit shrank to 600,000 by mid-April, she said. The production of pork, the most-consumed meat in Cuba and a normally affordable staple of most people’s diets, is hundreds of tons below target.

Díaz said importing food from U.S. producers had become more complicated under Trump, forcing Cuba to search for products that were more expensive and difficult to import.

“Selling limited quantities will lead to equal distribution, so that the greatest number of people can buy the product, and we can avoid hoarding,” she said.

how have other head of state fared when they made similar intent known. please, spare me the twaddle.

conversely, I really can not fathom how colonial pillage and exploitation is tantamount to working hard, saving and legally buying.
They bought from who? themselves(whites) or aborigines who got independence from the[b] invaders[/b] now crying wolf. isn't this the most funny thing that has ever been posted on the net.
OyinbowithaTan, have you been told about the broad opportunity in the field of comedy. I think you'd be unassailable in it.

brda, I'm yet to get something fresh and worthwhile from you.
Like I posted before if you asked whites, most would be fine with African governments expelling all white people based on their race, and likewise white countries deport all black immigrants and close off their borders ...... no more immigration illegal or legal. You go to the lowest common denominator, black vs. white. Erase whites and you will find another tribe to demean.

this your assertion is the most dishonest thing I've seen in a while.


when you say wreck; is it the one that happened when US and it allies imposed crippling sanction on Zimbabwe since 2000, in the wake of it land reform to reclaim stolen lands that have left the aborigines disenfranchised and in abject privation, or there's another reason which the whole world is not privy of.

Quite appalling how you western lot try to shoehorn fact to suit your narrative. you're no different from western media like CNN; heck, you're a microcosm of it.


typical.
Mugabe was a thug killer from day 1. If you want to create a plan, to get rid of white farmers, first you pay them compensation, and secondly you partner them with a vetted black family that wants to be a successful farmer. Then the white farmer stays on for a couple of growing seasons and trains the new farmer. You look for volunteers, people getting close to retirement age. It is also totally wrong to suggest that all white farmers stole this land or that land. Many worked, saved money and legally bought land. Farming isn't easy, it can be difficult work. Mugabe is another garden variety African leader using the lowest common denominator, tribal warfare.

Is the payment done by Mugabe who embarked on the honourable quest of redressing the colonial exploitation on the Aborigines, or it's done by a spineless ingratiatingly lapdog pandering to the whim of the west? if the latter, is the case, then, you've got no point. it's akin to expecting a sapiopathetic with zilch intelligence quotient to lead an erudite in academics.


come up with something fresh.
Mugabe wrecked the country, destroyed agriculture. It is always the same, blame some other tribe, white or black, get elected steal as much as you can. Then beg for foreign aid. Yes the money to pay back whites will come from other countries foreign aid, if the money isn't stolen of course.

Zimbabwe to start paying white farmers compensation after April

HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe is to start paying compensation this year to thousands of white farmers who lost land under former president Robert Mugabe’s land reform nearly two decades ago, the government said, as it seeks to bring closure to a highly divisive issue.

Two decades ago Mugabe’s government carried out at times violent evictions of 4,500 white farmers and redistributed the land to around 300,000 black families, arguing it was redressing imbalances from the colonial era.

But land reform still divides public opinion as opponents see it as a partisan process that left the country struggling to feed itself...............................................
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-zimbabwe-farmers/zimbabwe-to-start-paying-white-farmers-compensation-after-april-idUSKCN1RK0UU

Why white Zimbabwean farmer, Ben Freeth, returned to his farm eight years after it was destroyed by pro-Mugabe forces
Stripped of their land and forced to watch their house torched, Kent-born Ben Freeth and his family have seen first-hand the violence and unpredictability of Zimbabwe’s authoritarian regime. Yet after beatings, torture and court battles, he still has hope for the hundreds of thousands of farmers and farmworkers who have lost their livelihoods to Robert Mugabe.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/07/white-zimbabwean-farmer-ben-freeth-returned-farm-eight-years/

I think many of those white went to Mozambique, Botswana and Zambia. Some probably went to S. Africa also.

Capitalism 101. I get it it.

However when a corporate body is endowed with every political right as "person" or a "body" and can lobby this government for "favorable" laws which are designed to manipulate the system and maximize returns at the expense of the masses then the system is broke.


Take the debacle in the US in 2007 with CDO's_ collaterized debt obligations that were sold on the back of the ability of mortgage payment. The market speculates and inflates the prices homes, gives out loans to unqualified peoples to increase profits on that end, insurance companies also increase revenue as a result, speculators make money from all this false money being created. The signs that he bubble is about to burst is there but the "FREE HAND OF THE MARKET" rains supreme so please don't touch it MR. Government, the market will correct itself automatically.

Nope, it doesn't. Financial disaster. Speculators free to go, no jail terms. Banks bailed out with millions of tax payer dollars, The producers rewarding for putting everybody in this mess.

The home owners no bail out, no relief. They have to suck it up. They signed the dotted lines so hey that's capitalism for you. Meanwhile you can't recover because wages are stagnant and these lobbyist continue to influence laws that are supposed support such people.

In a capitalist system only producers are rewarded, the rest of us are serfs or slaves to "massa". Its slavery simply revised.
The real estate collapse in the USA was 100% based not of the free market but of government backed loans. Same deal with government loans for university tuition. The reason why college costs so much is because of easy access to tuition loans.

There are also countries in which the classic economic capitalist system in its purest tenants are not practiced or have been manipulated to serve a ruling class.

We have governments colluding with "Monopoly capital" to control that state and impose policies that continue to enrich and give privileges to a "special class" in society be that special class "white people" or "black cronies".

Your western version of this economic system has expired and needs to reformed to fit the peculiarities of the society you find yourself in.

The EFF's ideologies will continue to remain an integral component in resolving that dilemma, whether you like it or not.
IDK what the monopoly laws are in SA. Buy yes of course corporations and their investors lobby politicians for favorable laws etc. In the freest sense capitalism is the mutual exchange of goods, services, money between 2 parties. As an example in the US decades ago phone companies were regulated like a quasi government controlled company. They were granted exclusive control over regions, like a utility. Therefore they were stagnant. You pay X amount for 1 or 2 landlines, even had to buy their phones, no explosion of technology. Then something happened. Electronic companies, using cassette machines, created machines where someone could leave a message if nobody answered a phone call.

You could plug this into the phone line.
Even making a call 100 miles away was expensive. Now you call globally for free. The moral of the story is when government got out of the phone business there was an explosion of technology that rivaled the industrial age.

This is a classic divide and conquer tactic used in capitalist system. So the immigrants are docile persons who will work for "massa" for under a living wage as house boys, dog walkers, construction worker, security guards, nannies etc.

Meanwhile the employer maximizes his benefits by employing cheap labor that is unfortunately abundant while steering up resentment and creating conflicts between those who seek greater upward wage mobility and those who are desperate to survive while earning less than a living wage.

money is a new creation... there were no trading companies in Africa

Africans never traded amongst themselves they shared amongst themselves... that's why you see artwork of different ethnic nations looking very similar.

Africans already had farms for sugar, tobacco, coffee, minerals e.t.c.

Africans also never traded slaves..

they just want to try and ensure Africans don't work together for the progress of themselves...

why would an ETHNIC nation trade themselves for things they could invent...

I put ethnic in caps because there would have been loyalty to a stronger ethnic nation, to attack one person of an ethnic nation means to attack everyone from that nation and their allies.

have you ever asked yourself how the europeans would have navigated west Africa with all the poisonous snakes, wild animals, deadly insects, very hot sun e.t.c.. that west Africans already knew abouthuh

please for your own good stop swallowing euro-centric rubbish and deceptive history....
