The FBI and Oregon State Police handling of a January 26, 2016 "felony traffic stop" that killed one Oregon Standoff protestor, LaVoy Finicum, and injured another, Ryan Bundy, came under scrutiny from an esteemed mainstream media outlet this weekend.
Reporter Maxine Bernstein of the "Portland Oregonian" raised a series of questions=issues resulting from the testimony in the recent trial of FBI Hostage Rescue Team Agent Joseph Astarita. A jury acquitted Astarita of lying about firing two shots at Finicum that night amid conflicting testimony from Oregon police and FBI agents about what happened during and after the deadly incident.
The Oregon Standoff protest was on behalf of Dwight and Stephen Hammond, Oregon ranchers jailed as terrorists for lighting a backfire to protect their land. They had been subject to decades of rules, regulations and harassment by the federal government's Bureau of Land Management before their prosecution and imprisonment. The Hammonds were pardoned by President Trump last month.
In South Africa, white farmers fearful of the government seizing their land are trying to sell their properties.
Their fear was sparked by comments last week from the chairman of the ruling African National Congress Party, Gwede Mantashe, who said no one should own more than 25-thousand acres of land.
Mantashe also said that those who own more should have their land taken away without compensation.

He could face up to life in prison if convicted on three counts of deprivation of rights.
President Trump has corrected the "New York Times" over its reporting about the cooperation of White House Counsel Donald McGahn with the investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Brazil is sending troops to its border with Venezuela after violence at refugee camps on Saturday.
Local residents attacked several camps and set them ablaze around the town of Pacaraima following reports that a restaurant owner had been beaten badly by Venezuelans.
The United Nations estimated that as of the end of June, 2.3 million Venezuelans had fled the country with most of them ending up in Colombia, Brazil and Ecuador with others fleeing ever further away.
The flow of refugees has continued to increase since then with Venezuelans fleeing shortages of food and medicine brought about by the Marxist-Leninist Cuban style economic policies of the government.
The European Union bailout program for Greece is now over, but EU control of the Greek government and economy will continue.
A three year infusion of 70 billion dollars was put into Greece to help recapitalize banks and revitalize the economy accompanied by harsh economic measures that hurt average working people with higher taxes, reduced pensions and lower wages.
The European Union's European Commission will continue to monitor the Greece with what the BBC decribes as "enhanced surveillance" which will prevent Greece from independently managing its own economic affairs.
