 GETTYSBURG, Pa.-- Scout Troop 210 out of Springfield, Illinois carried its own flag this week as it re-enacted Pickett's charge at Gettysburg Battlefield. But the battle flag that the Confederate Army carried 152 years ago today is not hard to find here. In a Gettysburg shop you can even find it on a bikini. With calls in some parts of the country to ban the flag, here there's been little protest and only modest change."We feel strongly there will always be a role for the Confederate flag at Gettysburg in our museum exhibits, on monuments," said Katie Lawhon, spokeswoman for Gettysburg National Military Park. There have been changes in what's for sale inside the park. The Confederate flags are gone, leaving only the Stars-and-Stripes. And you can buy a mug or a t-shirt with the rebel flag -- but only if it also displays the American flag. The Confederate flag, though, is still widely displayed in the museum and on the battlefield itself.

 "We've always told both sides of the story here at Gettysburg National Military Park," said Lawhon. "It is our passion to tell the whole story." Civil war reenactor Lee Houser wears the elaborate uniform of Confederate General Isaac Trimble, a key figure at Gettysburg."To me it is heritage and history," said Houser. "I had ancestors on the Confederate side. All that I am doing is honoring them by flying this flag." Scott Wilson plays a mid-level officer. Both men say they are pained by the fact that some people -- including the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacists, such as alleged killer Dylann Roof-- have long used the flag as a symbol of hatred and racism. "Sometimes people pervert it and use it for other things, which is an injustice," said Wilson. Houser added: "If I could take the flag away from the KKK I would tomorrow, in a heartbeat. But I can't -- freedom of speech, you know." But they say here at Gettysburg that flag is an important part of an educational experience intended to inspire Americans to learn about their past.

 The three men -- Thomas Jordan Driver, 25, David Elliot Moran, 47, and 42-year-old Charles Thomas Newcomb -- each were arrested Thursday on one state count of conspiracy to commit murder, according to a statement from Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's office. Investigators said that late last year Driver handed a picture of the inmate, who was at that time out on supervised released, to an FBI informant who had infiltrated the Traditional American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Driver told the informant he had a fight with the inmate and both he and Moran wanted the former inmate "six feet under." Over the next few months, the FBI said their informant met with all three men, discussing plans to kill the man. One alleged plan involved shooting him during a ride to Palatka; another plan was to inject him with insulin and make it look like he died in a fishing accident. "My statewide prosecutor, acting in conjunction again with the FBI, staged a homicide scene where they took photos of the victim who was out of prison, now, of course, making it appear that he had been violently murdered," Bondi said. "Those photos were then shown to the corrections officers, who are alleged members of the KKK, and were very proud of this killing."

 Driver and Moran are current correctional officers of the Department of Corrections at the Reception and Medical Center in Lake Butler. Newcomb was a corrections officer trainee who was dismissed in January 2013 for failure to meet minimum requirements. “We are moving swiftly to terminate the employees arrested today and working closely with Office of the Attorney General to assist in their prosecution," DOC Secretary Julie Jones said. "Our department has zero tolerance for racism or prejudice of any kind. The actions of these individuals are unacceptable and do not, in any way, represent the thousands of good, hardworking and honorable correctional officers employed at the Department of Corrections.” Driver and Moran were arrested in Union County and Newcomb in Alachua County. The case will be prosecuted in Columbia County. Click & Close Ads

 The wide-ranging investigation included the FBI, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, Homeland Security Investigations, the Florida Department of Corrections Office of Inspector General, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Florida Highway Patrol, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office. The FBI's office in Jacksonville said it would not comment on an open investigation. The charges for the three men mark the latest black eye for the Florida Corrections Department. Last fall, DOC officials fired nearly 50 prison employees, including several over allegations that they punched and beat inmates. The deaths of inmates Randall Jordan-Aparo and Darren Rainey also drew attention. Rainey, a mentally ill prisoner, was punished in 2012 with a shower so hot that his skin separated from his body. Jordan-Aparo was reportedly gassed while in a confinement cell. Witnesses say guards at Dade Correctional Institution left Rainey alone for two hours in a locked, scalding hot shower as punishment for defecating in his cell and refusing to clean it up. The warden at Dade Correctional was fired.

 The Ku Klux Klan is using the Internet to ramp up its calls for violence to compensate for their decreasing rank and file membership, a special RadarOnline.com investigation has uncovered. The evidence in the nefarious new strategy is illustrated in a sickening recorded message that greets recruits calling the phone number for the North Carolina based Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan — the country’s largest and growing Klan group. The evil message, heard by Radar, congratulates 21-year-old Dylann Storm Roof who coldly executed nine worshippers at a Charleston, S.C., church using a .45-caliber handgun to cut down the victims attending Bible study class on June 17th.The recording blathers about Roof doing “what the Bible told him” by exacting revenge against minorities before rallying the listener with these evil words of encouragement: “If we had 10,000 more men like this young man, America would not be in the shape that it is in now!” Radar can now shine a bright light on the dark and sinister playbook of the Klan’s new “guerilla war” of encouraging lone wolf psychos to kill instead of doing it themselves, like they did years ago. Radar’s in-depth investigation has also uncovered the KKK operating in 26 states. “No organized hate group wants to be directly implicated to a terrorist attack that will have their return address on the envelope,” renowned KKK expert Brian Levin, the director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University in San Bernardino told Radar.

 “So the Klan and groups like it are very happy to indirectly influence radicals who then blow up on their own.” The brainwashing tactic is also evident in Roof’s 2000-word screed where he explains why he took matters into his own hands: “We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing anything but talking on the Internet,” he wrote. “Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me.” “That’s the beauty of having the group on the Internet,” Levin explained to Radar. “You don’t have to ensnare someone into membership — they just want to ensnare people into their ideology.” The Klan, which once boasted more than four million members in the 1920s, has been steadily shrinking with an estimated 4000 to 5000 haters spread out into dozens of splintered groups, experts say. PHOTOS: Church Mass Murderer Dylann Storm Roof Smirking During Extradition In 12 Photos –– Sicko’s Smile Might Disappear After Officials Say DEATH PENALTY Charges Expected “As the Klan has shrunk and lost their viability….It has become more desperately radical and overtly violent,” Dr. David Cunningham, professor and director of Social Justice & Social Policy Program at Brandeis University told Radar. Encouraging the lone wolves is essentially “guerilla war,” added Cunningham, who wrote the book Klansville, USA: The Rise and Fall of the Civil Rights-Era Ku Klux Klan. “In a lot of ways it’s just a signal of their desperation and their sense that this is their only choice because they are not going to build a mass following in any real way.” “What they’ll lack in numbers they’ll certainly make up in terms of danger, combustibility and unpredictability,” continued Cunningham. “There is an encouragement of this kind of action and there’s no real sense of predicting where it might pop up or explode in any given situation.” Roof, who faces federal hate crime charges, most likely got introduced to the Klan 12 years ago when his family moved to Lexington, S.C., the hometown of Horace King, longtime leader of the Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. PHOTOS: American Psycho: Church Murderer Dylann Storm Roof Hated America — 21 Sickening Photos “The Klan is still alive and active out there,” one of Roof’s former neighbors in Columbia, S.C., told Radar. “The Klan is a shadow of its former self but that shadow is cast diffusely across society,” Levin added. “Their Internet presence, which gives them a far greater reach to disseminate their hatred to unstable loners who will act on this hatred.”

 America is the land of the free, but you know what’s not free? Hiring non-union labor to protest on your behalf. That’s what the Brooklyn-based Jewish Political Action Committee did — they enlisted Mexican workers to hold anti-homosexuality posters at the New York City Pride Parade while dressed as Orthodox Jews. Ironically, the hired hands pretended to be someone they’re not to protest people proudly being themselves. Also ironically, they dressed in ethnic drag to protest gay pride. The organizers could have paid them a little more to learn Hava Nagila and make it a package deal: Protest by day, bar mitzvah band by night. It is touching to see people reach out across lines of faith, race and class. All it took was their hatred of another group. Isn’t that the American way? Persecute strangers until you join them in ostracizing the next group of strangers? Hate can really bring people together. Americans hated the Irish until they saw the Germans coming. Then those Germans didn’t look so bad when the Eastern Europeans arrived. Americans hated Jews until they remembered there were still black people here. Most Jews look white anyway, so it’s hard to keep track. No doubt that the tide of Latinos and Muslims will change our tune again. We’ve got to band together with the folks who already overran the country to keep others from overrunning the country. Don’t take my word for it; ask a Native American. One hero in Montana is taking a stand. John Abarr founded a new KKK chapter that won’t discriminate based on race, religion or sexual orientation. What kind of country are we living in when you can’t even count on the Klan to be racist and homophobic anymore? So much for the good old days. I’m sure Jews, blacks and gays are clamoring to sign up, but I don’t think I want to belong to a club that would have someone like me as a member. (Where is Groucho Marx when you need him?)

 The imperial wizard of the United Klans of America said Abarr’s inclusive KKK is absurd. Ironically, the progressive Montana Human Rights Network agreed. And there you have it: Another bridge built by hate. (On a related note, I’m thinking of changing my title from “Rabbi” to “Imperial Wizard.” It’s more whimsical.) But our hate is still small potatoes. It’s time to take it to the next level: Hate global, act local. What we need is something to inspire us to make common cause with our fellow humans, someone we can loathe together. That’s why I hope we find life on other planets. Imagine how it will expand our hate horizons. Picture all humanity locked arm in arm against the threat of illegal aliens from outer space. If we’ve learned anything from the movies, extraterrestrials are bloodthirsty conquerers. Don’t be fooled by E.T.’s charm — first he came for the Reese’s Pieces and I said nothing because I prefer M&Ms. Does that mean we are doomed to perpetual war? Or could there yet be a higher level of hate, a universal contempt, to unite us across species and galaxies?

 If we turn our thoughts to the creator of all, asking why in God’s name there is so much strife and suffering in the universe, then the spark of hate will begin to glow within each of us. When that hatred glows brightest, then at last the messiah will come. God’s anointed one will ascend the throne of glory to find all of creation in concerted resentment against him, wondering what took him so long, already. As Isaiah prophesied: “And the many peoples shall go and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the Mount of the Lord, to the House of God, and ask, “Why are you still in your house? Have you seen what’s going on out here?”’”

 In light of the recent national conversation about the Confederate battle flag brought on by the horrific Charleston S.C. shooting, Middle Tennessee State University students, alumni and faculty are petitioning the name of Nathan Bedford Forrest Hall. RELATED: Building honoring KKK Grand Dragon renamed by U. of North Carolina Forrest Hall was dedicated to Nathan Bedford Forrest in 1958 for his involvement with the Confederate Army. While his Confederate involvement has stirred feelings, it’s Forrest’s role as the Ku Klux Klan’s first Grand Wizard — the organization’s highest ranking member — that has students protesting. Students vigorously took to social media early this week to petition against the name, starting the Facebook group “Change the Name of Nathan Bedford Forrest Hall MTSU,” which has received nearly 650 likes since its creation. Students are also debating the issue on the university’s Class of 2018 Facebook page. One student even posted a photo of the battle flag being burned, prompting the page’s moderator, Laurie Witherow, who is an assistant dean at MTSU, to comment. “I’ve had requests to remove both the flag post from Rebecca Gibbs and the flag burning post from Jeremy Dobbs,” Witherow wrote. “I’ll leave them both and trust you with the healthy discussion of what kind of country you’re going to build for me to live in. I trust you.”The exchange also prompted response from the university. “In light of the horrific killings in Charleston, and the national discussion that has ensued in the aftermath, it is right and appropriate to revisit this matter with the university community, our alumni and supporters, and state officials, who by law must approve any change,” University President Sidney A. McPhee said in an email statement.

 McPhee said the issue has been brought up periodically throughout the years. But after a series of discussions and a Student Government Association vote, the name was left unaltered. In the wake of the renewed civil rights discussion, MTSU students do not seem to be discouraged by past failed attempts to rename Forest Hall. The organization had its first meeting on June 26 and later released a statement explaining that they believe Forrest Hall to be an “inappropriate” name for MTSU’s ROTC building. “Nathan Bedford Forrest is a symbol of white supremacist violence across the United States and the world,” the statement read. “As the nation comes to grips with the power of white supremacist symbolism, we are calling for Forrest’s name to be removed from the building, just as other symbols of his legacy have been removed from campus in the past,” they said in the release. “It is perplexing to many that a figure associated with a massacre of black American soldiers and the most notorious terrorist organization in our nation’s history could be honored on an ROTC building.” RELATED: Newsome: Confederate flag ‘banner of racial intimidation and fear’ The organization created a petition on June 27 to have the hall’s name changed and has “[called] on President Sidney A. McPhee, the State Legislature, the Board of regents, the SGA, and the Department of the Army to support our campaign and help to promote justice on MTSU’s campus.” As of June 30, it has been backed by 170 supporters. MTSU student Lane Matthews created a counter-petition to preserve the name of Forrest Hall, arguing that Forrest left the Klan soon after joining and became “reformed and reestablished much like others in history.” He says that the name has too much historical value to remove from campus. His petition, which launched June 25, has been backed by nearly 50 supporters. Click & Close Ads

 Forrest has now been condemned to upheaval from all instances of his likenesses and name,” he says. “I understand that this fight is long standing, but the new revival is most certainly associated with the violence in South Carolina, and due to a man’s crimes we are now associating these actions with great heroes and people who fought and died for something they believed in. I can almost guarantee that the shooter did not take a stroll through Nathan Bedford Forrest Park that morning nor did he stand outside and admire the great works of MTSU’s Forrest Hall. Why due to one man’s actions do we have to fly off the handle and remove heritage from every instance in America?”This article comes from The USA TODAY College Contributor network.

 By NWV Senior Political News Writer, Jim Kouri Posted 1:00 AM Eastern July 5, 2015 © 2015 NewsWithViews.com At a time when the nation is still reeling from the racially-motivated attack on a black church in South Carolina that left nine churchgoers, including their pastor, dead, a black male suspect, who tried to pass off his racist threats as being made by a member of the Ku Klux Klan, was arrested by ColoradoSprings, Colorado, police officers on Tuesday. The 44-year old man is being held for posting the offensive signs at a predominately black church, according to law enforcement. Click & Close Ads

 Vincent Broughton, a resident of Colorado Springs, is accused of posting signs near a church at the 200 block of East Platte Avenue, according to a police statement on Tuesday. One of the signs read: [sic]"HELP This church identified 6 Devils for the K.K.K The Police." The homemade signs appeared on three consecutive Sundays outside the New Covenant Church, a Pentecostal Christian denominational church. The congregation's pastor, Rev. Roland Joyner, told police that he believed the signs were hung up outside of his church during the Sunday afternoon service. He told police that one of the signs said "Black men be aware, you are the target." A woman, Holly Garvin, who lived in the neighborhood close to the church but was not a member of the congregation, said that she replaced the racist messages with positive, Christian signs such as: "no more violence" and "God loves us all."

 When the racist signs were first discovered posted outside of New Covenant Church, Pastor Joyner told reporters that out of fear for the safety of his "flock" he locked the doors while the churchgoers were inside worshiping. "While this incident doesn't rise to the severity of the South Carolina black church slaughter by a white racist suspect, it nonetheless caused great concern to the Christians in Colorado Springs as well as to the police department," said Ronald Faisel, a former New York State police officer and member of the religious organization Cops for Christ. Broughton was taken into custody by police without incident on Tuesday after he was a suspect in the posting of more signs in the Colorado Springs downtown area, according to reports. police said. "I did it. Probably about 100 or so, I'd come downtown everyday and put up the posters." said Broughton. "I want people to know how corrupt these people that run the town are, the police department, city council and people in the community," said Broughton. However, he didn't mention why he wished the pastor and the churchgoers to think the Ku Klux Klan was responsible for the hateful messages.The suspected KKK impersonator is charged with perpetrating a biased-motivated crime, disorderly conduct, harassment, and littering, according to the police. He was served with a Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT) to appear in court and released, police said.

 More than 100 asylum seekers locked up in immigration detention centres are expected to be released as a result of the immediate suspension of the Home Office’s fast-track detention system, ministers have announced. They are among more than 800 asylum seekers, detained in Yarl’s Wood and other such centres, whose cases will be urgently reviewed after the immigration minister, James Brokenshire, ordered the temporary suspension of the system. 'The happiest day of my life': women of Yarl's Wood celebrate abrupt release His announcement came in the face of legal challenges over the lack of sufficient safeguards to prevent victims of torture and trafficking being caught up in the system. The appeals part of the system was ruled unlawful last Friday by the court of appeal, which declared its limit of seven working days as “structurally unfair”. “In the light of these issues, I have decided to temporarily suspend the operation of the detained fast-track policy,” said Brokenshire. “I hope this pause to be short in duration, perhaps only a matter of weeks, but I will only resume operation of this policy when I am sure the right structures are in place to minimise any risk of unfairness.” Campaigners, including the Detention Action charity that brought the successful legal challenges, said they hoped this would mark the end to Britain’s routine detention of asylum seekers.

 Most of the asylum seekers held under the fast-track system are expected to be re-detained without leaving the removal centre as they are already held because they are at risk of absconding or face imminent removal. But it is expected that more than 100 will be released from detention centres including Yarl’s Wood, Harmondsworth and Colnbrook. The detained fast track belongs on the scrapheap of UK human rights history Bamidele The asylum seekers likely to be released are expected to be those who have only recently entered the system. Foreign offenders being deported, others being sent back to a safe third country, or those facing a high chance of removal are highly unlikely to be released. Ministers will urgently put in place stronger safeguards to ensure that vulnerable people such as torture victims are screened out from the fast-track process. Brokenshire said the government was committed to its underlying principles “and believes for the most part that it is operating well and is removing back to their own countries those whose asylum claims are clearly unfounded. But we must be satisfied that our safeguards for dealing with vulnerable applicants throughout the system are working well enough to minimise any risk of unfairness.” The fast-track system has been used by the Home Office since 2000 and thousands of people have been removed from the country in the last 15 years. The suspension is a major victory for campaign groups and charities which have argued that the fast-track system risked unfairly detaining victims of torture and trafficking.Jerome Phelps, the director of Detention Action, said: “We welcome this announcement. We hope that today will mark the end of the UK’s routine detention of asylum seekers. It is a further step away from the systematic overuse of detention that was rightly criticised by a cross-party parliamentary inquiry this year. “We hope that the Home Office will accept the judgments of the courts and work with civil society to build an asylum system that is both fast and fair, with alternatives to detention that are both cheaper and more just.” Bamidele, a member of the Freed Voices group whose asylum claim was rejected under the fast-track policy, said: “The detained fast track is nothing short of a kangaroo court. I received no fair trial. The result was fixed from the moment I walked in the room. “The stress left my health in tatters – so much so that they eventually had to release me. Four years later, with time to properly make my case, I was given leave to remain. The detained fast track belongs on the scrapheap of UK human rights history.” Sile Reynolds, Freedom from Torture’s lead asylum policy adviser, said: “Freedom from Torture strongly welcomes this admission by the Home Office that the detained fast track is not working. The immigration minister has now committed to review the system, but we question whether review can tackle fundamental flaws which are in the very nature of the system. “Although survivors of torture are not supposed to be processed through this system, our medico-legal report service, which documents torture forensically, received 240 referrals for potential torture survivors in the detained fast track last year.” Protest to close Yarl’s Wood and other detention centres held in London on 15 June.

They are kept in detention while the accelerated process is going on.

 But the courts have found that asylum seekers were seriously disadvantaged by the lack of time to prepare appeals from detention, while the safeguards were inadequate to prevent vulnerable people, such as torture and trafficking victims, from being wrongly fast-tracked. Any asylum seeker, from any country, could be placed on the detained fast track, which is restricted to cases considered weak or without merit. Many on the fast track were from countries experiencing conflict or violence, such as Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. On Friday, the high court said the appeals part of the system was “structurally unfair”, because lawyers for the asylum seekers were expected to take instructions, prepare statements, translate documents, make bail applications, arrange expert witnesses and make representations to be taken out of the fast track within seven working days. The use of the detained fast track has rapidly expanded in recent years. The latest published figures show that 4,286 asylum seekers were locked up in Yarl’s Wood, Colnbrook or Harmondsworth under the scheme in 2013. This is a 73% increase from 2012, with almost one in five of all asylum seekers having their claims heard through a process with a 99% rejection rate.
