Mark Seliger for TIME

When the Tea Party movement wanted to send a message to the Senate in 2010, it elected a clear-sighted eye doctor from the Bluegrass State. In a D.C. too often defined by the venal equivocations of a permanent political class more interested in consolidating its own power than in upholding the Constitution or defending the common good, Senator Rand Paul is a voice of reason awakening the public to what must be done to restore our prosperity and preserve the blessings of liberty for future generations. His brand of libertarian-leaning conservatism attracts young voters, and recently he inspired the nation with his Capraesque filibuster demanding basic answers about our use of drones. I sent him some caribou jerky from Alaska to help keep up his strength on the Senate floor. Theres more where that came from for this bold Senator with 20/20 vision willing to take a stand for liberty.

Palin is a former governor of Alaska

The uses for blockchain technology are endless. This year will see thousands of startups getting on the block bandwagon to launch their own platforms. Some things have already been done, and many will be repeated. Using the blockchain for philanthropic purposes however is a step ahead of the rest.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos billionaire investor George Soros saidthat hes found a new way to help migrants usingblockchain technology. According to Fortune he addressed a crowded theatre at the conference saying that blockchain should be put to a positive use.

Without elaborating on how he would achieve this grand vision the billionaire went said;

Blockchain technology can be put to positive use. And we use it actually in helping migrants to communicate with their families and to keep their money safe and to carry it with them,

However the dots are already being connected. The investment moguls Open Society Foundations is a philanthropic organization dedicated to worldwide democracy. Last year it awarded a $100,000 grant to the Center for Human Rights Science at Carnegie Mellon University. The college is exploring blockchain and other new technologies use to record and document human rights violations and atrocities.

One way to aid migrants would be to allow them to store any assets in digital form safeguarding them during travelling. Soros, however, joins the ranks of the big bankers such as JP Morgans Jamie Dimon who has publically decried Bitcoin, and since retracted it.

Old school institutionalized investors generally rebuke anything they dont understand, cryptocurrencies being top of the list. At the same time as extolling the virtues of blockchain innovation he had this to say about cryptocurrencies which are based upon it;

Cryptocurrency is a misnomer and its a typical bubble which is always based on some kind of misunderstanding. Bitcoin is not a currency, because a currency is supposed to be a stable store of value, and a currency that can fluctuate 25% in a day cant be used, for instance, to pay wages, because the wages could drop by 25% in a day.

In the same meeting he also openly berated the search and social media giants Google and Facebook;

As Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware. They claim they are merely distributing information. But the fact that they are near-monopoly distributors makes them public utilities and should subject them to more stringent regulations, aimed at preserving competition, innovation, and fair and open universal access,

This stance pretty much contradicts his opinion on cryptocurrencies which strive to be totally decentralized and free from corporate or banking control. You cant have it both ways George!

Greece shouldered a disproportionate burden of the E.U.s asylumasylum applications last year, taking 8.5 percent of the blocs total requests, the Greek Asylum Service said Friday.

The country of 11 million people recorded 58,661 applications in 2017, putting Greece in first place among the EU member states when it comes to the proportion of asylum seekers to the inhabitants of the country, the service said in a statement.

Nearly half of Greeces 2017 asylum requests were received on five hotspot Aegean islands, the service added.

The Aegean Sea had been the main point of entry to Europe but the flow of migrants has been sharply cut after the E.U. signed a controversial deal with Turkey in 2016 to send back migrants.

The agreement included measures to limit the number of migrants processed by Greece, however of the 25,814 applications received on the Aegean islands last year, 20,377 were ruled eligible to be moved to the mainland, with 5,437 rejected.

The greatest number of Greeces applicants came from Syria, with 16,396, followed by Pakistan with 8,923, Iraq with 7,924 and Afghanistan with 7,567.

In 2015 the E.U., facing one of Europes worst migrant crisis since World War II, pushed through temporary refugee sharing quotas to ease the burden on frontline states like Greece, however several member states particularly in eastern Europe oppose the plan.

PLEASE READ AND SHARE WIDELY!The review of the Peel Regional Police's School Resources Officer (SRO) program conducted by professors Linda Duxbury and Craig Be...nnell is NOT an independent review. In addition, the review NOT equitable, it perpetuates anti-Black racism, is unethical and misleading. Check out a few points below:

Global NewsCBC NewsCBC Toronto CTV NewsCTV Toronto1) This report lacks an equitable lens, whereas the review recently conducted by the TDSB of their SRO program took an equitable stance, by centring the voices and lived experiences of students most vulnerable, marginalized and negatively impacted by SROs in schools, this review of Peel's SRO program takes a majority approach. The report treats the issue of armed police officers in schools and the reports of them harming students as a popularity contest and fails to consider that the voices of students silenced by fear matter and should be actively pursued and supported by researchers in their praxis. Instead, the report treats this issue wiith skewed and very basic structure.

2) This report perpetuates anti-Black racism, and is contrary to what the Peel School Board indicates as important to student well-being in their "We Rise Together" plan. SROs in schools among many other issues, creates a school-to-prison pipeline and negatively impacts our undocumented, Black, Indigenous and racialized students due to racist racial profiling.

3) Please be aware that this report IS NOT INDEPENDENT!In fact, in the Peel Regional Police Report titled, Annual Report 2016: A Safer Community Together, both Dr. Linda Duxbury and Dr. Craig Bennell (Carleton University) are directly quoted stating, ...I know that we are certainly proud to be your partner in evaluation of this program... (pg. 38) They are speaking to being proud of their monetary, profitable relationship with the Peel police. How can they conduct an independent review when they are dependent on the police for their livelihoods? This misrepresentation is very concerning for various reasons and confirms that this is not an independent review. Link to cited report: https://www.peelpolice.ca//P/2016AnnualReport-INTERNET.pdf

4) Furthermore, we also have to question why these two people were chosen as Lead Researchers when their professional profiles reveal that their education and interests of study do not align with an equity and social justice lens. For example, Duxbury is a graduate from Management Sciences, and Chemical Engineering and Bennells education also has nothing to do with equity. Why are local academics with international accolades, who work from an equity and anti-racist lens, overlooked?

Professors with extensive professional experience in these areas have actively questioned racist and discriminatory practices within education.

For example, Dr. George J. Sefa Dei, Professor of Social Justice Education and Director of the Centre for Integrative Anti-Racism Studies at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto (OISE/UT) has even provided a letter of support for the removal of the program.Dr. Carl James of York University has worked very hard to address the dangers faced by Black students in education. Knowing that the institution of policing has deeply embedded anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism, why would anyone except highly knowledgeable and experienced researchers guided by equity polices and praxis, be selected for this role?

We have to question the connections that these particular academics have to police and how this impacts their work. For instance, on Bennells faculty profile, it states thatthey are an, ... incoming President of the Society for Police and Criminal Psychology as well that they are the Director of the Police Research Lab, which Duxbury has also worked on. It is very disappointing that after so much work by so many people, #PeelDistrictSchoolBoard. #PDSB would choose to ignore the warning signs and allow for unethical research to take place on their watch.----#TDSB Leads the way in establishing caring, healthy and equitable schools. All school boards should follow their lead and remove the SRO program.
