The cartoon is a racist depiction of San Diego's first black police officer, Patrolman Frank McCarter. The lawsuit claims that when Sgt. Arthur Scott, vice-president of the San Diego Black Police Officer's Association, complained about the use of the image, the department retaliated by transferring him out of the Southeastern Division.

Judge Restricts Dinesh D'Souza's Travel

Dinesh D'Souza interviews George Obama in Kenya
for his film "2016: Obama's America"
By Jerome R. Corsi, Oct. 23, 2014

NEW YORK – A federal judge in New York City has put filmmaker and bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza under a travel restriction during the eight months in which he has been sentenced to a community confinement center in San Diego, where he must spend each night.

U.S. District Judge Richard Berman, in a hearing in New York City Oct. 15, ordered that D’Souza must not leave San Diego County while the eight months at the community center, which was part of his sentence for campaign-finance violations. He also must obtain the approval of his federal probation officer to conduct any media interviews.

The hearing was held after D’Souza’s probation officer gave him permission to travel to New York City for an interview with the Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly. The probation officer then asked Berman to clarify D’Souza’s restrictions under the sentence, which led to the hearing. The ruling forced D’Souza to cancel a speech scheduled for Wednesday at the University of California at Santa Barbara.

As WND reported, after pleading guilty to campaign finance violations, D’Souza was sentenced last month to eight months in a work-release center in San Diego, five years of probation and a $30,000 fine. He also must set aside one day a week during his probation to teach English to non-English speakers. He pleaded guilty in May to arranging “straw donors” to contribute $10,000 to the failed 2012 U.S. Senate campaign of Wendy Long, a college friend.

The original sentence didn’t address travel and allowed him to continue his writing and filmmaking.

Venezuela Threatens Its Jews Over Gaza War

By San Diego Jewish World, Aug. 3, 2014, Sdjewishworld.com

NEW YORK (Press Release) — The American Jewish Committee (AJC) is urging Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his government to end immediately their incendiary statements against Israel, which have led to attacks on the Jewish community.

The climate of fear experienced by Venezuela’s Jewish community over the past decade has been heightened still further since the Hamas-triggered war with Israel erupted a month ago.

“President Maduro is playing with fire and, if left unchecked, his incitement of state-sanctioned hatred against Jewish citizens could easily ignite with profoundly tragic consequences,” said AJC Executive Director David Harris. “Ensuring the safety and security of Venezuela’s Jewish citizens should be a government priority, but President Maduro seems intent on outdoing the hostility towards Israel of his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, and that’s saying a lot.”

AJC has expressed concerns in the past about the government’s nurturing of a climate of hatred. Over the past few weeks alone, the Jewish community has been subjected to attacks and intimidation from government officials and the media.

Maduro has publicly accused Israel of pursuing “a war of extermination against the Palestinian people,” and has compared Gaza to Auschwitz.

“In Israel, there’s a smell of sulphur, the devil is there,” added Diosdado Cabello, President of the National Assembly.

Social media is full of vitriol against Jews, notably this chilling Twitter message: “A deputy of the government’s party PSUV is organizing armed militias to attack THE Jewish community that lives in OUR Venezuela. They will attack synagogues and Jewish businesses.”
