Republican senators Thom Tills (NC), Dan Coates (IN), John Cornyn (TX) and Johnny Isakson (GA) have all been outed by an Anonymous document dump that is seeking to reveal the identities of 1,000 members of the KKK and other affiliated racial hate groups.

On October 27th, Anonymous vowed to out the names of 1,000 members of the KKK or affiliated racial hate groups, “The aim of this operation is digital. Another cyber war trist, nothing more. We are not violent. We will release, to the global public, the identities of up to 1000 klan members, Ghoul Squad affiliates and other close associates of various factions of the Ku Klux Klan across the Unites States.”

The group has made good on their threat by listing four Republican senators and five mayors who they say are involved with the KKK:

1.United States Senator From North Carolina: Thomas Tillis aka Thom Tillis: Age 55: Wife Susan Tillis, Both living in: Cornelius, North Carolina.Known KKK Affiliated group:United Northern and Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Thornton.

2.United States Senator From Texas: John Cornyn: Age 63: Wife Sandy Cornyn, Both living in: Austin,Texas: Known KKK Affiliated Group: United White Knights Of The Ku Klux Klan.

3.United States Senator From Georgia: John Hardy Isakson: Age 70: Wife Dianne Davison: Both Living in: Marietta, Georgia. Known KKK Affiliated Group: Original Knight Riders Of the KKK.

4.United States Senator From Indiana: Dan Coats: age 72: Wife Marsha Coats, Both living in: Fort Wayne,Indiana. Known KKK Affiliated Group:United Northern and Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan

If true, this is a devastating exposure of the racism that has long been suspected of running wild within the Republican Party. The racist treatment that President Obama has endured during his time in office along with the success of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has provided ample evidence of the race-based feelings of many people who vote Republican. But until now, there has not been any evidence that there was more behind the Republican efforts than an ugly political strategy.

If Anonymous has the evidence to prove these allegations, it will shake American politics to its core. The operation by Anonymous has attracted the attention of Fox News, which means that it is on the radar of the Republican Party. From a political perspective, any evidence that these senators are involved with the KKK would be devastating for the Republican Party in a presidential election year.

The story is still developing, but Anonymous could make the worst fears of the Republican Party come true while doing a public service by exposing the racist elements at the highest levels of political power.

The cyberbattle between the group of social justice hackers known as Anonymous and America’s most the notorious white supremacy group, the Ku Klux Klan, has reached a boiling point. Last week, Anonymous announced they had infiltrated a KKK member’s Twitter account and had retrieved the identities and contact information of over a thousand of his fellow racists and would release the bulk of the data on Thursday, November 5th, but began releasing small batches of data on Monday morning on the text-sharing website Pastebin. If you are curious, you may find the data here.

The International Business Times reports that the feud between the groups began during the Ferguson riots of 2014, when the KKK announced that it would use “lethal force” against black protesters in the streets. The shadowy members of Anonymous promptly hacked into the group’s main Twitter page and began releasing information about its members. The hackers released a public statement detailing their plans and the reasoning behind it, and it’s hard to argue with:

After closely observing so many of you for so very long, we feel confident that applying transparency to your organizational cells is the right, just, appropriate and only course of action. You are abhorrent. Criminal. You are more than extremists. You are more than a hate group. You operate much more like terrorists and you should be recognized as such. You are terrorists that hide your identities beneath sheets and infiltrate society on every level. The privacy of the Ku Klux Klan no longer exists in cyberspace. You’ve had blood on your hands for nearly 200 years. You continue to inflict civil rights violations, commit violent crimes and solicit others to commit violent criminal acts. You seek to intimidate and/or eliminate those that are different from you and those that you dislike by any means possible. You seek to terrorize anyone and anything that you feel is a threat to your narrow view of the “American way of life”.

The last time we took your hoods off, you claimed to be misunderstood. Victimized. No. You are a damaged, dangerous, fragmented, splintered and amorphous collection of terroristic cells with a hate-based ideology and a well documented history of violence against the American public – assault, murder, terrorism. You play a deep, damaging and historically sinister and malevolent role in the United States. We understand you far too well.

The truth is finally coming out, and America will learn just who among us participate in the horrific rituals and share the hateful beliefs of the Ku Klux Klan.

Volkswagen Failed to Report Fatal Incident to Regulator

Automaker says outside auditor will gauge its compliance

Volkswagen AG failed to report at least one death and three injuries involving its vehicles to a U.S. regulator’s database designed to save lives by spotting possible defects.

Lawsuits concerning the accidents, filed over the last eight years, weren’t found in records kept by the U.S.National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in searches by Bloomberg and financial adviser Stout Risius Ross Inc. Automakers are required by law to report all claims of possible vehicle defects to the NHTSA database.

Volkswagen said Oct. 23 it will commission an outside audit of its compliance with U.S. safety-reporting laws. Honda Motor Co. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV’s U.S. unit have said this year they underreported claims to the same database, and Honda was fined.

“You have to give the consumer enough of the facts to put the pieces together,” said Rebecca Lindland, senior director of commercial insights for Kelley Blue Book, the vehicle-data provider. “If you under-report on safety, then you’re talking about actually taking people’s lives in your hands. There’s a need for transparency whether it’s good, bad or ugly.”

Questions about Volkswagen’s reporting come as the world’s biggest automaker grapples with a separate crisis over itsadmission in September that it purposely cheated on U.S. pollution tests on diesel-fueled cars. The Wolfsburg, Germany-based automaker faces regulatory investigations in the U.S., Europe, Japan and China and a criminal probe in the U.S. related to emissions controls.

The German manufacturer will coordinate its third-party audit on safety compliance with NHTSA, make the findings available to NHTSA and work with the agency on any recommendations, Jeannine Ginivan, a Herndon, Virginia-based spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. Volkswagen is checking its process of reporting lawsuits to the regulatory database as part of the overall audit, Ginivan said. The automaker is unable to comment on specific lawsuits, she said.

Volkswagen rose 0.2 percent to 126.35 euros as of 1:57 p.m. in Frankfurt. The stock is down 32 percent since the emissions scandal broke, valuing the company at 57 billion euros.

NHTSA Database

Bloomberg reviewed 13 random lawsuits filed against Volkswagen in the last 11 years. Volkswagen had reported nine of them to NHTSA. Four couldn’t be found in the database. They involved one death and three injuries described in lawsuits filed in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2014. By law, legal complaints must be reported to NHTSA within 30 days of the end of the quarter in which an automaker was notified by a filing or other official means of a lawsuit involving an alleged safety defect.

The lawsuits included a January 2008 fatal accident involving a 2000 Beetle in Portland, Oregon, in which the side air bags were alleged to have failed to deploy. Volkswagen denied any defect. That case was dismissed. Two lawsuits over injuries, both in Texas, were settled with the car company denying allegations of any defects. The remaining suit, an air-bag case in Pennsylvania in which Volkswagen again denied any defects, is still pending.

There were no findings of liability against the company in any of the suits and no dollar amounts disclosed in any settlements.

NHTSA can’t comment on the specific lawsuits identified by Bloomberg because the agency hasn’t analyzed them, Gordon Trowbridge, a spokesman, said in an e-mail. NHTSA requires that a lawsuit be included in the database even if there’s been a settlement, the company disputes the finding or there’s a ruling on the complaint in the automaker’s favor.

Honda Fined

Honda said in November 2014 that it failed to report more than 1,700 claims of death or injury, some related to exploding Takata Corp. air bags. Honda disclosed its audit after the Center for Auto Safety, a Washington watchdog group, said the company didn’t report at least two incidents involving injury or death to NHTSA. In January, Honda was fined a record $70 million for its underreporting.

This brave woman stepped forward to testify before Congress about the injuries she sustained because of Honda's Takata Air Bags:  

After Honda’s disclosure, NHTSA asked all automakers to ensure their compliance with the reporting requirements. Since then, the larger automakers, including Volkswagen, have reported more incidents than they averaged in previous years, Stout Risius found.

The 2000 law establishing the “early warning” database stems from reports that Bridgestone Corp.’s Firestone tires were disintegrating in hot-weather states, causing Ford Motor Co. Explorer SUVs to roll over.

Fiat Chrysler’s U.S. unit said last month it violated the requirements of the law. NHTSA is still studying the Fiat Chrysler report. Last year, sports-car maker Ferrari NV was fined $3.5 million for violations, including the failure to report three deaths.

Lowest Rate

The rate of Volkswagen’s reporting to the NHTSA database is the lowest among major automakers over the last decade, including Honda and Chrysler, the Stout Risius data compiled for Bloomberg show. To ensure fair comparisons among car companies of different sizes, the rates were calculated per million vehicles on the road. The average of 11 automakers was 306 per million; Volkswagen’s rate was 34 per million.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx has said he will summon automakers to Washington to discuss the need for accurate reporting of safety defects, including the death and injury reports. The meeting is expected before the end of the year.

“NHTSA will often note the number of incidents involving injury or death when initiating investigations or working with automakers to understand whether a recall is necessary,” said Neil Steinkamp, a Stout Risius managing director who analyzed the database for missing lawsuits. “The accuracy of these reports can be influential in identifying trends that NHTSA would act on.”

Today: Treasurer to discuss fantasy sports; substance abuse hearing Treasurer Deb Goldberg chairs a meeting of the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission, which will feature a discussion about daily fantasy sports, One Ashburton Place, 12th Floor, West Conference Room, Boston, 10:30am. Joint Committees on Mental Health and Substance Abuse and Public Health hold informational hearing on substance abuse. It will be chaired by Rep. Elizabeth Malia, Sen. Jennifer Flanagan, Rep. Kate Hogan and Sen. Jason Lewis, Room A-1, 1:00pm.   Tomorrow: All eyes on Brockton area Senate race... With voters in 59 communities going to the polls Tuesday, Stephanie Ebbert of the Globe takes a close look at the fiercely contested special election for a state senate seat on the South Shore, calling it a "high-stakes showdown." Democratic Rep. Michael D. Brady will face Republican Rep. Geoffrey G. Diehl in the only legislative contest on ballots tomorrow and the Globe notes that the race has brought Senate President Stan Rosenberg and Gov. Baker, among others, to the South Shore in recent days to campaign. http://bit.ly/1XJv8AI   ...And District 4 race, it's a door-to-door finish In an otherwise sleepy Boston election, District 4's race, pitting longtime incumbent Councilor Charles Yancey against challenger Andrea Campbell, has been where the action is. "We haveknocked on thousands of doors since Sept. 8 with one message, and that is we can't afford to stay home on Election Day," Yancey said told the Herald's Jack Encarnacao. Campbell also has been busy talking to voters, saying she has knocked on over 23,000 doors and made over 16,000 calls.  http://bit.ly/1N7X4GZ Who leaked the DeLeo transcript? Speaker Bob DeLeo is trying to mount some offense following the unexpected return on the Probation Department scandal to his front door. He originally misdirected his wrath over last week's Boston Globe story about his 2010 testimony concerning the Probation Department, in which he claimed to be unaware of the system of patronage in hiring for the Probation Department. He blamed the messenger, the Globe, which, despite DeLeo's claims that the story was "complete distortion," appears to have accurately, and with reasonable context, published portions of his testimony. A more valid complaint: The source of the leak distributed documents impounded under a court order. DeLeo followed up Friday evening with a letter to Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Ralph Gants asking for an investigation into how his testimony was leaked, saying the court has both the power and the obligation to protect "the integrity of the judicial system." The leaked transcript has again conjured up the John O'Brien Probation Department trial well after a year it concluded, in which DeLeo was named an unindicted co-conspirator. Who's trying to embarrass, in not sabotage, DeLeo? It may be impossible to find out. Other than the US Attorney's office, several other agencies received the documents, including the Attorney General, the Inspector General, and the Office of the Bar Counsel of the Board of Bar Overseers. The timing of the leak coincides with reports of a grand jury hearing more testimony from John O'Brien, who along with two associates was convicted last year in the probation case. They are appealing the convictions. Although the odds of finding the source of the leak are slim, Gants has an obligation to take DeLeo's request seriously. Can anyone violate a court's impoundment order with impunity? This is a story that the Globe itself likely won't pursue.   Meanwhile, the AG's office announced it won't investigate DeLeo's testimony, with a spokesperson saying: "Based on the evidence, our office is not investigating."http://bit.ly/20nkcLv   Bangor and a warning of a coming gambling glut Bangor ain't Boston, but there may be a cautionary tale in the steady decline of the casino there. A second casino in western Maine opened afterwards, denting revenue, and now the casino owners are seeking a property tax break from the city. Here's a fascinating prediction: "I can't imagine the casinos in Massachusetts not asking for tax breaks after they're up and running," said Rev. Richard McGowan, a professor and casino expert at Boston College. Sean Murphy of the Globe traveled to Bangor to get this story: http://bit.ly/1MsLvtr   Pay-to-play driving test system exposed by NECIR New England Center for Investigative Reporting reports on pay-to-play system for road tests -- pay extra, often $100 to a driving school, to secure a convenient test slot. While road test revenue for the Commonwealth has doubled in the past five years, those who won't or can't pay the fee face the prospects of waiting months and taking the test far away, where slots are more available. Beth Daley exposes a two-tier system that often leaves the average road test taker smelling someone else's exhaust fumes. Walsh to IndyCar: Two weeks to finalize plans  Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is suddenly taking a tough stance with the organizers who want to bring Indy Car racing to South Boston next year, telling them in a letter obtained by the Herald that they have two weeks to get necessary agreements with state agencies in place. Walsh green-lighted the controversial race, scheduled for next Labor Day, earlier this year, but the letter, signed by Chief of Operations Patrick Brophy suggested in the letter that could change. "Mayor Walsh feels strongly that overall community 'buy-in' and timely resolution of all financial terms for this proposed event are paramount to his final approval," Brophy wrote, according to the Herald. http://bit.ly/1GXFf0w  Getting environmental voters to the polls  The Environmental Voter Project is working to get more voters who say the environment is a top issue for them to the polls, regardless of who they intend to vote for, the Globe reports. The project is responding to data showing that voters who rank the environment as a top concern turning out in low numbers in recent elections: One survey found that some 277,000 environmentalists stayed home during the last gubernatorial election, a contest decided by about 40,000 votes. http://bit.ly/1Q1BNEW  MGC has a new member  Attorney General Maura Healey has appointed a retired judge to fill a vacancy on the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, the Globe reports. Healey tapped D. Lloyd Macdonald, a recently retired superior court judge, to fill the vacancy left by the departure of James McHugh. Healey said Macdonald's law enforcement experience -- he served as chief of the public corruption union of the U.S.attorneys office before assuming a seat on the bench -- and his "passion for the law and integrity" will make him a strong addition to the five-member commission. http://bit.ly/1k396e6  Unions still wield (some) voting power in Lowell  Even with numbers down and donations to candidates slipping, unions still wield power in local elections in Lowell, the Sun reported Sunday. Local observers expect the United Teachers of Lowell union to turn out in numbers on Tuesday amid ongoing contract talks. http://bit.ly/1MBAbkQ  Lawmakers want to speed up route 20 improvements Lawmakers are frustrated by the pace of Route 20 improvements in Oxford and Charlton. Local, state, and federal lawmakers had a closed door session meeting about Route 20 and how to speed up improvements. "Everyone in the room agreed that waiting until 2025 for the real project is too long of a wait," Oxford Town Manager Brian M. Palaia said about the meeting. "I was pleasantly surprised that MassDOT seemed to take the leadership role at the meeting." Three days before the meeting, there was a fatal accident on Route 20 that claimed the lives of a mother and baby. http://bit.ly/1KT3DLX Baker: DCF accountability coming On WBZ's Keller At Large program yesterday, Gov. Baker defended the lack of firings at the Department of Children and Families in the wake of bureaucratic failings at the agency: "For us to turn around and say to the front line worker 'you're fired' when in fact the leadership has not done the heavy lifting associated with actually creating the playbook that you can hold people accountable for, which had not happened for years -- it's just not the right way to do this," Baker said. "And so we are putting in place those... bricks one at a time and to get to the point where by mid-November we will have standing policies in place and best practices in place on each of these and at that point people will be held accountable." Host Jon Keller also explored a range of other issues, including gambling and bipartisanship, in his interview with the governor. http://cbsloc.al/1XJqXow TODAY'S TOP STORIES National: AP: Hundreds of cops lose licenses over sex misconduct Fred Thompson dead at 73; actor and former U.S. senator battled long illness Obama to call for breaking cycle of incarceration - The Boston Globe State: Government grapples with pace of Route 20 improvements Showdown in Southeastern Mass. for open Senate seat - The Boston Globe Salem State joins trend away from SATs for college admission Local: Knock, knock is no joke in council race Mayor gives ultimatum to IndyCar Natick: Special Town Meeting called for Dec. 1 BROCKTON ELECTION: Former councilor MacMillan takes on Carpenter for mayor Rockland's next school superintendent has familiar face WEYMOUTH ELECTION: Kay, Hedlund meet again for mayor Incumbents fend off challengers in three low-key Boston City Council races - The Boston Globe In Amesbury, voters will choose mayor, council Lawrence council candidates outline city's needs
