France's Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux announced Wednesday that half the country's illegal "travelling people" and Roma camps would be dismantled within three months, and that any caught breaking the law would be deported.

France's Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux said Wednesday that half the country's illegal “travelling people” camps would be dismantled within three months, and that Roma from Bulgaria and Romania would be sent back home if they broke the law.

In a recent turn of events in the Roman Polanski legal drama, Swiss authorities refused to extradite the fugitive director and instead set him free.

The miscarriage of justice may be related to a decision made by the Eric Holder Department of Justice (DOJ).

In an attempt by Swiss authorities to determine whether Polanski had already served his previously imposed sentence, some sealed testimony was sought by them from the DOJ. The testimony had been given by Polanski’s original California prosecutor, Roger Gunson.

The DOJ refused to give Swiss authorities the transcripts, according to a letter from Swiss officials to the U.S. Embassy. That letter was obtained by the Associated Press.

The DOJ is claiming that the Los Angeles district attorney's office approved the DOJ’s rejection of the Swiss request.

However, a district attorney spokesperson, Sandi Gibbons, told the Associated Press that the Los Angeles office was “not specifically notified of the [Swiss] request” and had no idea that the DOJ had turned down the request.

Germany and Israel have failed to agree on a sale's deal of a German submarine to Israel, a Berlin source said on Friday.

"There is no financial commitment," government spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm said. "There are no concrete negotiations with Israel over a sixth submarine. As for whether there are informal talks -- because of the nature of the matter, I can make no statement on this."

The U.S. journal Defense News reported this week that Chancellor Angela Merkel's government had turned down Israel's request for a discount of up to one-third on the price of a $1.6 billion package including two other warships and torpedoes.

Germany funded more than 80 percent of the cost of Israel's first three Dolphin submarines in the 1990s, and is currently accounting for a third of the cost of two more submarines being manufactured in Germany.

The full cost of the diesel-powered Dolphin class submarine would be some $700 million. Others already in Israel's fleet were extensively underwritten by Germany, which is dedicated to Israel's security, founded in the aftermath of the Holocaust.

Several dozen Pentagon officials and contractors have been accused of -- and in some cases were convicted of -- purchasing and downloading child pornography on government computers, the Department of Defense's inspector general's office disclosed in documents released Friday. 

The investigation that led prosecutors to these government workers was actually part of a larger Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency sting called Operation Flicker, aimed at identifying individuals who paid money over the Internet to access child pornography overseas, according to the inspector general's office.

That sweep collected information on more than 5,000 people in 60 undercover stings involving 18 child porn websites. Among those were several dozen who worked for Pentagon intelligence services.

Offenders include people with highly sensitive security clearances who have the potential to blackmail the government using closely held military and intelligence secrets, according to the documents released. Some of the people involved have such high-level clearance, identifying characteristics about them were blacked out in the report.

CLEVELAND -- NAACP President George Forbes accused the city of using an organized police presence to discourage African-Americans from visiting one of the city's hottest entertainment districts.

City leaders say they have asked police and sheriff's deputies to move partygoers off West Sixth Street in the Warehouse District once bars close at 2:30 a.m., in response to numerous noise and rowdiness complaints.

But Forbes said the police action is racist because many of the people on the street at that hour are African-Americans.

"I can't believe (in) 2010 that black folks are targeted," Forbes said Monday. "That they can't go certain places and you use the force of the police to make sure it's enforced."

Forbes said he's has demanded a meeting with Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson.

"You couldn't have an organized force of police going down West Sixth Street unless the administration and the council knew about this," Forbes said.

Hello, and welcome back to this week’s broadcast of American Dissident Voices, the Internet radio program of North America’s foremost racialist organization, the National Alliance. I’m your host and the Chairman of the Alliance, Erich Gliebe.

Well, it’s been a week and more of ruffled feathers in the world of grassroots politics.

On July 13th, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) passed a resolution calling for Tea Party leaders to squelch the racist elements within the organization. NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous later stated that the resolution was directed at specific portions of the Tea Party, in these words:

“We take no issue with the Tea Party movement. We believe in freedom of assembly and people raising their voices in a democracy. What we take issue with is the Tea Party’s continued tolerance for bigotry and bigoted statements. The time has come for them to accept the responsibility that comes with influence and make clear there is no place for racism & anti-Semitism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry in their movement.”

In response to the NAACP’s resolution, conservative talk radio host Mark Williams wrote a satirical blog that got everyone up in arms. Pretending that he was an African-American writing a letter to Abraham Lincoln, Williams wrote, among other things:

"We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!"

It seems that Williams’ purpose was to draw attention to the distinction between what Abraham Lincoln did over a century ago – namely, free the slaves – and what big government generally and President Barack Obama specifically are doing to the working American people today – namely, enslaving them through taxation and by taking away civil rights.

Three separate shootings left 10 people wounded and scattered hundreds in downtown Indianapolis during the crowded Indiana  Black Expo, police said early Sunday.

Police spokesman Lt. Jeff Duhamell said authorities made no immediate arrests directly tied to the shootings and investigators were seeking leads to the suspects.

None of the victims' injuries were life-threatening, Duhamell told The Associated Press, adding police had made three unrelated arrests on weapons charges.

The shooting began when several shots rang out around 9:30 p.m. Saturday near Circle Centre mall, leaving eight people wounded and sending people running, Duhamell said.

He said a second shooting occurred nearby just minutes after the initial shooting and left one young man wounded. He added that the third shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m. and left another man wounded.

A decade ago, activist Ron Unz conducted a study of the ethnic and religious composition of the student body at Harvard.

Blacks and Hispanics, Unz found, were then being admitted to his alma mater in numbers approaching their share of the population.

And who were the most underrepresented Americans at Harvard?

White Christians and ethnic Catholics. Though two-thirds of the U.S. population then, they had dropped to one-fourth of the student body.

Comes now a more scientific study from Princeton sociologists Thomas Espenshade and Alexandria Radford to confirm that a deep bias against the white conservative and Christian young of America is pervasive at America's elite colleges and Ivy League schools.

South African wildlife experts are calling for urgent action against poachers after the last female rhinoceros in a popular game reserve near Johannesburg bled to death after having its horn hacked off.

Wildlife officials say poaching for the prized horns has now reached an all-time high. "Last year, 129 rhinos were killed for their horns in South Africa. This year, we have already had 136 deaths," said Japie Mostert, chief game ranger at the 1,500-hectare Krugersdorp game reserve.

The gang used tranquilliser guns and a helicopter to bring down the nine-year-old rhino cow. Her distraught calf was moved to a nearby estate where it was introduced to two other orphaned white rhinos.

Wanda Mkutshulwa, a spokeswoman for South African National Parks, said investigations into the growing number of incidents had been shifted to the country's organised crime unit. "We are dealing with very focused criminals. Police need to help game reserves because they are not at all equipped to handle crime on such an organised level,'' she said.

Rhino horn consists of compressed keratin fibre – similar to hair – and in many Asian cultures it is a fundamental ingredient in traditional medicines.

A Palestinian man has been convicted of rape after having consensual sex with a woman who had believed him to be a fellow Jew.

Sabbar Kashur, 30, was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Monday after the court ruled that he was guilty of rape by deception. According to the complaint filed by the woman with the Jerusalem district court, the two met in downtown Jerusalem in September 2008 where Kashur, an Arab from East Jerusalem, introduced himself as a Jewish bachelor seeking a serious relationship. The two then had consensual sex in a nearby building before Kashur left.

When she later found out that he was not Jewish but an Arab, she filed a criminal complaint for rape and indecent assault.

Although Kashur was initially charged with rape and indecent assault, this was changed to a charge of rape by deception as part of a plea bargain arrangement.

Handing down the verdict, Tzvi Segal, one of three judges on the case, acknowledged that sex had been consensual but said that although not "a classical rape by force," the woman would not have consented if she had not believed Kashur was Jewish.

Last Sunday, July 11th, the World Cup soccer tournament concluded with Spain defeating The Netherlands 1-0 in extra time. Germany had defeated Uruguay 3-2 in the third place game a day earlier.

The World Cup tournament, like the Olympics, is an ideal time for nationalist spirit, and the multinational crowds at the various venues throughout South Africa brought flags and plenty of noise in an effort to cheer their teams to victory.

Of course, the extreme “one-worlders” among us deplore any display of nationalism. They say that nationalism divides people instead of bringing them together. But we know that no group can survive without a healthy esprit de corps.

On this program, we’re concerned about the esprit de corps of the White race. We’re trying to ignite a White esprit de corps -- a worldwide White racial unity -- that will allow us to regain control of our destiny and will open up a brighter future for our people. For decades now, a small minority of Whites have been trying to awaken the White masses to the importance of winning this struggle, with mixed results.

ABC News' Luis Martinez reports: June was the worst month ever for Army suicides, according to Army figures released today that include suicides among active duty soldiers as well as  inactive Guardsmen and Reservists .

There were 21 active duty Army suicides in the month of June and 11 on the inactive Guard and Reserve side, totaling 32 for the month.   The 21 active duty suicides ties the monthly record set in January of 2009. 

Earlier this month, Army officials had been encouraged by a 30 percent reduction in the number of suicides (through  June 10) over last year’s record high of 162.  However, the final monthly numbers released today indicate the 80 active duty suicides so far this year are on pace with last year’s numbers.  There were 88 suicides through the first six months of last year.

Through the first half of this year, the number of inactive Guard and Reserve suicides stands at 65, which is 24 more than last year’s total for the whole year.

Despite this year’s trends, Army leaders say the programs they have instituted in recent years to prevent suicides in their ranks are having a positive impact.

AUSTIN, Texas – University of Texas regents agreed Thursday to strip the name of a former law school professor and early organizer of the Ku Klux Klan from a campus dormitory.

The dorm named after William Stewart Simkins will now be known as Creekside Residence Hall. The two-story brick building was constructed in the 1950s near Waller Creek.

The unanimous vote came after a motion from regent Printice Gary, who is African-American, to make the change.

"From time to time we are reminded of ugly periods in our nation's history regarding civil rights," Gary said. "The history behind the name is not in line with today's University of Texas and its core values."

Simkins, who was a Confederate colonel, helped organize the Klan in Florida after the Civil War. He taught law at Texas from 1899-1929 and gave speeches and wrote papers promoting the Klan and terrorizing blacks.

Regents also voted to change the name of Simkins Park, a small green space next to the dorm that had been named after Simkins' brother, Eldred Simkins, who also was involved with the Klan and served on the university board from 1882-1896.

The idea that he had discovered evidence of ancient Europeans and Asians in the panhandle of Oklahoma was not unusual to Bill McGlone. He spent the better part of his life examining and researching the petroglyphs that were etched into the cliffs, peaks and caves all around his home in La Junta, Colorado.

The six-month election recount that turned former "Saturday Night Live" comedian Al Franken into a U.S. senator may have been decided by convicted felons who voted illegally in Minnesota's Twin Cities. 

That's the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, which found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race between Franken, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, then-incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman. 

The final recount vote in the race, determined six months after Election Day, showed Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes -- fewer votes than the number of felons whose illegal ballots were counted, according to Minnesota Majority's newly released study, which matched publicly available conviction lists with voting records.

A pair of illegal immigrants raped a 14-year-old Texas girl at July 4th party in Texas, where the teen was later found sitting naked in a bathtub, police said.

The victim told police that she went to an Independence Day party with her cousin in Horseshoe Bay, Tex., about 40 miles northwest of Austin, where she was left in a room with Anibal Escobar, 19, and Anael Martinez, 22, MyFoxAustin reported.

The two Honduran natives, who told police they are in the U.S. illegally, made advances at the victim and then raped her, she told police. The victim’s cousin discovered her in the bathtub and brought her home.

Escobar and Martinez were arrested early in the morning on July 9 and face felony charges of aggravated sexual assault, MyFoxAustin reported. Local investigators contacted Texas Rangers to assist in their investigation and translate, as none of the witnesses at the party or the suspects spoke English.

Hello, and welcome back to this week’s broadcast of American Dissident Voices, the Internet radio program of North America’s foremost racialist organization, the National Alliance. I’m your host and the Chairman of the Alliance, Erich Gliebe.

You know, no one has ever claimed that the goals for which the men and women of the White Racialist Cause are aiming are easy goals to achieve: a White, monoracial homeland; a frugal and honest government that truly has the long-term interests of its own citizens at heart; a White economy that will both provide for the material well-being of our people and will give our working men and women useful work for their lives; a White educational system that nurtures the mind, body, and soul of the White youth it is entrusted to mold; a White media that is open and honest about all of the facts – including those about race – and uses its power to build up the morale and the character of our people rather than to tear those down; and so on.

We could probably use up an entire American Dissident Voices broadcast in naming off all of the ways in which the society that we aim to create will differ from the one in which we find ourselves, but that in itself wouldn’t get us much closer to achieving those goals. In any case, whether we list them all specifically or not, my point for the moment is that none of them will be easily attained.

On the one hand, that’s too bad, because no one can doubt that the world that we White racialists would create would be infinitely better than the society as it is set up today. But on the other hand, few (if any) things that are truly worthwhile – are truly of value – are easily attained. The fact that our goals are lofty ones that will require us to bring to bear all of our powers of intelligence, planning, determination, and will power should encourage us that those goals are very much worth pursuing. And once those goals are achieved, it will make our victory all that more rewarding.
