“I called everyone in City Council, and no one would answer. I called the mayor, and no one would answer,” he added.

However, a collection of self-described “American Patriots,” made up of various militia and biker groups, is planning on retaking the zone from the leftists. According to an event posted on Facebook, more than 1,500 members of these “patriot groups” will descend on downtown Seattle on July 4 to “tear down the illegal barriers on public property, clean up the mess these communist kids made, and return the police station over to Seattle Police Department control.

It's easier than that. Jam the cell phone signal service and they will all fall apart. Refuse to provide them with food and water and make them provide their own supplies and they will all fall apart. Play Lawrence Welk music 24-7 and they will all fall apart.

It's not CHAZ anymore. They changed it to Capital Hill Occupation Project CHOP. They quickly realized that autonomy was a bit impractical. They've been begging for food ever since the homeless they stupidly welcomed cleaned them out. They need clothes, too. And cigarettes. And weed. And lighters.

CHOP will collapse under it's own stupidity long before the 4th.

" Play Lawrence Welk music 24-7 and they will all fall apart."..........THIS WORKS! I worked years at a truckstop, in the evening, the kids who worked in the deli would leave the radio tuned to a hip-hop/RAP station....the customers who came in with this blaring....were agitated, non polite and spent time loitering.....I would change the station to "elevator music" (No vocals), and the customers were calm, bought more, and the young jerks bought their vape supplys and beer....and quickly left.

Funded by / Ownership

RT News is owned by ANO “TV-Novosti”, which is funded by the Russian Government. The network is funded through advertising as well as 307 million USD from the Russian Government as of 2016.

Analysis / Bias

In review, RT News present news that is generally in line with the narrative of the Russian Government. When it comes to covering USA/International News they provide right of center coverage. They are highly biased in favor of Russia and occasionally run Pro-state conspiracy stories. The Columbia Journalism Review calls RT “The Kremlin’s propaganda outlet.”

In general, most international news stories on RT are factual and relate to true events, however there are occasional pieces that spin these facts into a different narrative, that is misleading. Another concerning aspect of RT is they do not list author information for articles published on the website. This presents a lack of transparency that makes it difficult to verify information.

A search of Google Fact Check Explorer reveals numerous failed fact checks. Below is a short list of many false claims:

While RT Bemoans Ukrainian Propaganda, it is Russians who Feel the Disinfo Fallout – FALSE
RT: OPCW Got its Chemical Weapons Samples from ‘Jihadists’ – FALSE
RT Distorts Disinformation Detective’s Guide to Russian Trolls – FALSE
RT’s FARA examined. Part I – FALSE
RT: US Special Envoy Says Russia Seeks to ‘Freeze’ Conflict in … – FALSE
Overall, we rate RT Questionable based on promoting pro-Russian propaganda, promotion of conspiracy theories, numerous failed fact checks and a lack of author transparency. (5/18/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 1/03/2019)

DukeTarHeel Loc: NC's "Research Triangle"

Last night in Albuquerque NM, a man was shot at a rally. Police detained armed militia members who were present. It is believed the man was shot by a “vigilante”.

Let’s hope armed militia don’t take the law into their own hands; that would be far far worse than what “CHOP” is doing right now.

And NO, I do NOT approve of CHOP.
