At a New York conference nominally about "cryptos" attendees reported being drugged en mass after consuming ambiguously labeled items from the menu that were infused with cannabis extracts (archived). The adventurous caterer allegedly went beyond the traditional drug infused desert items and managed to drug menu items as varied as hot sauce, cocktails, and olives while a DJ was spinning "electronic dance music" throughout the event. This appears to have been a very Amir Taaki effort on the part of the event's organizers.

South Africa Set To Begin Uncompensated Land Thefts
On Tuesday the militant black power gang calling itself South Africa's parliament began passed legislation to seize all white owned land without compensation. The double talking Thief in Chief Cyril Ramaphosa (WOT:nonperson) offered these comments about this complete disenfranchisement of the country's remaining white population:

At a time when the South African port city of Cape Town is running out of water under their mismanagement, the political criminal organization calling itself the African National Congress is resorting to race baiting and redistributive theft in a desperate attempt to salvage their public opinion. On how the loot from their plunder will be managed, Chief Thief offered:
We will handle it with responsibility. We will handle it in a way that will not damage our economy, that is not going to damage agricultural production.
