The vast majority of officers seem to be using a great deal of restraint, especially when there are so many systemic forces encouraging them to pull the trigger and ask questions later. Raeford Davis, former police officer and outspoken critic of modern law enforcement, says, “It is not because of the training. It is despite the training. It’s the humanity of the police officers that prevents a lot more shootings.”
Lily Allen is a popular singer and entertainer in the UK who is known for her support of mass immigration. Last year, she welcomed several refugees into her luxury home, but then sent a request to her fans to house her and her two children over Christmas, because the foreigners would not leave her home. Later it was discovered that she did not open her home to refugees at all. Instead, she rented the property to wealthy diplomats who she claimed she could not evict because they had diplomatic immunity.

South-East Asia has now entered into a new phase of its development: the influence of the US administration is waning in the region, and instead, increasingly, the main area of confrontation in the region is the relationship between China and Japan. In an attempt to limit the expansion of China in South-East Asia Japan has begun to show that it has considerable power to both preserve the status quo and also to find new forms of political and economic integration in the wider East Asian region.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has been banned from running for president again, and was arrested for “inciting unrest against the government" because he accused his successor of misappropriating public funds. Ahmadinejad said that Iran suffers from mismanagement, not lack of economic resources. There is no doubt that he was right, because theocratic and collectivist regimes always suffer from mismanagement, not lack of resources. [...]
Here are two statements that seem in conflict:
1) I don’t like marijuana.
2) I want marijuana legalized.
There’s actually no conflict because we can decide that some things are distasteful without wanting to infringe on the freedom of others to partake nonetheless.
Monika Schaefer, a woman from Alberta, Canada, was arrested in Germany, a country that forbids questioning the Holocaust, and is facing a 5-year prison term. The Jewish group, B'nai Brith, filed complaints with German officials against Schaefer because she committed "anti-Semitic incitement." This was because Schaefer had made a video in 2016 entitled 'Sorry Mom, I Was Wrong about the Holocaust." In the video (click on link), she says she regrets reproaching her German mother for not doing something to stop the death camps.

Kushner Companies, which specializes in real estate, has received an around $30 million payment from the Israeli insurance company Menora […]
Free market economics hasn’t been faring well lately, or so it might seem. A 2016 Harvard poll purported to show that young Americans reject free market capitalism. Senator Bernie Sanders almost won the 2016 Democratic party nomination. Are these signs that government planning and economic management are regaining popularity? Maybe, but a closer examination of the evidence casts doubt on that proposition.
Iranian regime change. Korean nuclear war. Alt media censorship. There are a lot of reasons to be concerned about the year ahead as we ease our way into 2018. That's why my New Year resolution is to redouble my efforts and put out even more material this year. I need you to help me spread the word about these podcasts, videos, interviews and articles, and to help you do that I'm going to be concentrating more effort on alternative social media platforms. Your help will be appreciated.
Russiagate Turns On Its Originators
Paul Craig Roberts
Russiagate originated in a conspiracy between the military/security complex, the Clinton-controlled Democratic National Committee, and the liberal/progressive/left. The goal of the military/security complex is to protect its out-sized budget and power by preventing President Trump from normalizing relations with Russia. Hillary and the DNC want to explain away their election loss by blaming a Trump/Putin conspiracy to steal the election. The liberal/progressive/left want Trump driven from office.
RT | January 8, 2018 A US attack helicopter made an emergency landing near a hotel in Japan’s Okinawa on Monday.

It’s been very cold over North America for days, but globally, 2017 has ended up smashing the record for the hottest year on record without an El Niño. And that has scientists worried, since the warmest years usually happen when the long-term human-caused global warming trend gets a short-term boost from an El Niño’s enhanced warming in the tropical Pacific.[Read More...]

The claim that human activity is triggering a climate apocalypse is based on expert opinion and best estimates.
No sooner had ISIS appeared than it went on a head chopping binge that repulsed and frightened the US public. Washington officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry rang the alarm that this hoard of Islamic crazies wanted to invade the US and "kill us all". A well-compliant mainstream media swallowed Washington's script and regurgitated it to frighten a US public. The public gave its silent consent for more war really aimed at Bashar al-Assad.

America lags behind Europe in the magnitude of its immigration problem. But, with an estimated 11 million illegals in country and the same prevailing elite sensibility dominating our discourse, the United States eventually will hit a similar crisis point unless current trends are altered or reversed.
In most cases, leaders suffering from toxiphobia – the dictionary definition for someone afraid of being poisoned – have also been ruthless tyrants who have suffered from extreme paranoia.
-by NoahThis is a bit of a tough decision for me, not in the result but in the how. If I came upon this golden opportunity to be the instrument of karma, I might be inclined to grab a bolt cutter and lop off his tiny fingers one by one, slowly. Or, I might just playfully indulge in a happy little game of "this little piggy."But, let me show you what my first thought was when I saw today's meme.
Now we know that the protests that began in the Iranian Razavi Khorasan Province at the very end of December and that were quick to spread all over the country were provoked by repeated calls for acts of civil disobedience voiced by anonymous provocateurs on the Telegram. The absolute majority of international media sources was quick to point out that by pulling the strings those unnamed puppeteers managed to trigger one of the gravest political crises that Iran has seen in a decade.
Pakistan’s alliance with the United States seems to be coming towards an end following the US decision to suspend security aid, Pakistan Minister of Foreign Affairs Khawaja Asif told the Wall Street Journal on Friday (Jan. 5).

One of the myths perpetuated by the pro-GMO (genetically modified organisms) lobby is that critics of GMOs in agriculture are denying choice to farmers and have an ideological agenda. The narrative is that farmers should have access to a range of tools and technologies, including GM crops. Before addressing this issue, we should remind ourselves that GMOs have been[Read More...]

Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security[Read More...]
Zionism [see http://state-of-terror.net/] is an insidious ideology. Its ideologues often gain traction by well-placed and oft repeated constructs – in films and TV series, in posts and comments on social media, and even in academia. So, it is no wonder that people end up having ideas about certain things, like the nature of Israel, the Zionist Jewish state, or[Read More...]

Señor Trumpanzee is flipping out over Michael Wolff’s book-- completely deranged-- and claiming he’s “stable” and “a genius” and that Bannon has an 80 IQ. Trump is insane and should be impeached immediately under the terms of the 25th Amendment. The voters should deal with the Republicans who, knowing full well that Trump is a dangerous sociopath, enabled him anyway-- especially Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

SOUVENT critiqué pour « être trop timide face aux contenus malveillants, Facebook a durci le ton », assurait « Le Monde » (19/12) dans un article au titre évocateur : « Face aux fausses informations, le discret ménage de Facebook ». L’enthousiasme du quotidien se comprend : c’est lui-même qui, dans le cadre d’un partenariat avec Facebook, a été mandaté par le réseau social (revendiquant 33 millions d’abonnés en France) pour épousseter ses pages.
