Yahoo! News (9/26/21) published a bombshell report detailing the US Central Intelligence Agency’s “secret war plans against WikiLeaks,” including clandestine plots to kill or kidnap publisher Julian Assange while he took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Following WikiLeaks‘ publication of the Vault 7 files in 2017—the largest leak in CIA history, which exposed how US and UK intelligence agencies could hack into household devices—the US government designated WikiLeaks as a “non-state hostile intelligence service” (The Hill, 4/13/17), providing legal cover to target the organization as if it were an adversarial spy agency. Within this context, the Donald Trump administration reportedly requested “sketches” or “options” for how to kill Assange, according to […]

As the Biden administration continues to seek the extradition of Julian Assange, new details have emerged about the Trump administration’s secret CIA-led war against Assange and his organization, Wikileaks. Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News discusses his team’s reporting on the CIA plot to surveil, kidnap, and even kill Assange — all overseen by Michael Pompeo. In response, Pompeo has called for the prosecution of all the sources involved. The story builds on previous disclosures including a May 2020 exposé by The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal, which revealed that the CIA was working with Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson and the Spanish security firm UC Global to target […]

In mid-September, Trump acknowledged that he intended to physically eliminate Assad at the beginning of his presidency and that the Pentagon chief at a time, Jim Mattis, persuaded him to not do so. “Assassination is American modus operandi. That is what they do […]
4.21% of all who test positive die VT: Even with colleges pushing numbers through the roof with few young dying, but some of those are never reported it seems, may be many, who knows. This is like Vietnam, in that respect. But with the huge spike in new cases, the death rate sits at 4.21 percent, meaning that for those over 65 it is going up.

A Texas drifter threatened to kill “every black person at the Social Security office” if he didn’t get his benefits, according to a guilty plea filed in federal court this week. It all began in January 2019, when Dewitt Chandler, 40, contacted a Social Security Administration call center to ask why he hadn’t received his check. During the conversation, an apparently dissastified Chandler told the rep helping him that he would “find [his] fucking office and cut [his] fucking balls off,” say court documents. The rep handed the call off to his supervisor, who tried to defuse the situation. Chandler, however, […]
In making sense of former Olympic and Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius’ story, particularly the February 2013 night when he shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, it’s best to assume that you’ll never arrive at a satisfying set of answers. All of the evidence in the case in which he was convicted for culpable homicide—and later, murder—in 2014 was circumstantial. No one alive knows the why of what actually happened except Pistorius himself, but the new ESPN 30 for 30 four-part film, The Life and Trials of Oscar Pistorius, about the event as well as Pistorius’ career as a double-amputee runner, […]

In April 2020, a month after the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the pandemic, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) warned that the numbers of people who lived with acute hunger around the world would double due to COVID-19 by the end of 2020 ‘unless swift action is taken’.

It’s open season in Grand Teton National Park. You can’t keep the meat and you can’t keep trophies, but despite prevailing conservation management practices, from Sept. 14 to Nov. 13 volunteers have been selected to head into the dramatic mountain range to scramble up jagged rocks, teeter around on exposed cliffs, and sneak around bear country in camouflage, all in the name of helping to reduce an invasive mountain goat population that is a threat to the native bighorn sheep. It’s technically referred to as a “cull,” because of the rules surrounding it: there’s no fair chase, park rangers are offering […]
Evidence That Younger Adults Contribute to Transmission of COVID-19 to Older Adults Changing Age Distribution of the COVID-19 Pandemic … https://t.co/Kfm2Q1z5BU via @CDCgov — Carol Duff (@CarolDuff18) September 25, 2020 Health Editor’s Note: Careless behavior and lack of adherence to mask wearing and physical distancing can kill Granny. Initially COVID-19 cases were in older adults, but age distribution has changed to the group aged 20-29 having the highest incidence of coronavirus. Since many cases in the younger group are asymptomatic and that group is less likely to adhere to personal preventative behaviors they can be the cause of spread those who […]

Graham, the South Carolina senator who has enthusiastically supported every war that the United States has started since 2003, reportedly reversed roles with the president, who has showed a penchant for restraint from embroiling Washington in new quagmires, when it came to the Iranian Quds Force commander. Senator Lindsey Graham desperately urged President Trump not to assassinate Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Qasem Soleimani just days before his January 3, 2020 killing-by-drone at Baghdad’s international airport, investigative journalist Bob Woodward suggests in his new book ‘Rage’, which hit the shelves last week. Told by Trump that he was thinking of “hitting […]

After a backlash from a number of human rights groups concerned about what crimes the intelligence community in Britain, home to the Bond universe, was allowed to commit throughout its undercover work, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal ruled that Mi5 in particular held an “implied power” under the Security Service Act. British undercover spies may soon be universally licensed to kill under updated laws expected to be unveiled soon, as they will provide them with legal protection to commit crimes, the Daily Telegraph reported, citing sources. The fresh legislative updates are expected to create a legal framework to authorise “necessary and proportionate” crime […]
VT: We have seen this story before, once in Toledo where aging parents called police to deal with a son back from Iraq who was taking up the couch, sleeping. They called Toledo Police telling them he had a gun, they broken in the door and murdered him in his sleep. Listen to what the “mom” tells police, and judge for yourself. Video is excellent, there is no gun, no threat of any kind, just a frightened child and two lunatic police. 13 shots are fired for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Worse still is the RT story that does everything possible […]
Portland lawmakers unanimously passed a sweeping ban on facial recognition technology, becoming the first city to bar both public and private entities from the controversial software and defeating Amazon’s bid to kill the measure. The Portland City Council adopted the ban in the form of two separate ordinances on Wednesday. The first will block all city agencies, including the police, from using the tech, while the other prohibits private organizations from deploying facial recognition devices in public places. Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler has hailed the move, saying it sets Portland apart from other cities. “What makes Portland’s legislation stand out from […]

A disturbing image purporting to show journalists photographing graffiti which reads, “Kill Press” in the besieged city of Portland has generated shockwaves online, as tensions between activists and the media continue to ramp up. Despite ongoing mainstream media efforts to downplay the widespread rioting across the US in recent months as “mostly peacefulprotests,” time and time again, Black Lives Matter and Antifa activists and agitators have turned on the press. The rapidly deteriorating relationship between the sprawling protest movements and local and national media was captured somewhat neatly by a photo purporting to show the words “Kill Press” scrawled on a […]
Leading Euroskeptic Nigel Farage has issued a stern warning to the UK’s ruling Conservative Party, vowing to cause electoral havoc for it once again if it caves to the European Union in Brexit negotiations. Farage, one of the chief architects of Brexit, made a grim forecast about the UK’s performance in the talks, saying that he believes the Tory government will “betray” the wishes of the British people during the crunch discussions. In an overt threat to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Farage said that he will revive the Brexit Party and destroy the Conservatives electorally if they fail to deliver what […]
The FBI has issued an alert to Chicago police warning that nearly three dozen street gangs may have struck an agreement to shoot any officer seen with their gun drawn in public “on-site,” according to a local news report. FBI officials in Chicago recently issued a “situational information report” to Chicago law enforcement, pointing to a possible multi-gang pact to gun down officers in the streets, a local ABC affiliate reported on Monday. “Members of these gang factions have been actively searching for, and filming, police officers in performance of their official duties,” the FBI alert said. “The purpose of which […]

Constellation is the sole U.S. importer of the Grupo Modelo beer brands, including the super-popular Corona Extra, along with brands like Modelo Especial, Pacifico and the new Corona Hard Seltzer.

Police officers in Lafayette, Louisiana have shot and killed a man who resisted arrest and tried to walk into a gas station store ‘armed with a knife’, triggering a new wave of outrage over police brutality and ‘systemic racism.’ Lafayette Police Department officers responded to a disturbance call, involving a man with a knife at a Shell gas station around 8pm Friday. When they tried to apprehend the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Trayford Pellerin, he allegedly ignored repeated orders to surrender as well as several taser shots fired at him.

This doesn’t sound like a man who’s going to go quietly. Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko warned protesters Monday that he will not give in to their demands for a new presidential election—unless they assassinate him. Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in the capital city of Minsk over the weekend to protest against the disputed elections held earlier this month. Protesters have been infuriated by alleged poll-rigging and police violence at the ensuing protests, but Lukashenko has defied any suggestion that the vote could be re-run. “We held elections already. Until you kill me, there will be no other elections,” he […]

As Seth Rogen and his production company, Point Grey, feel their way through the novel coronavirus pandemic, one thing is certain: They won’t be taking their cues from Christopher Nolan. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Rogen quipped, “I’m waiting to see what Chris Nolan does… ‘WWCND’ is basically what we’re saying at all times. ‘What would Chris Nolan do?’” THR’s interview, conducted via Zoom, happened to take place on the same day that Warner Bros. and Nolan confirmed that Tenet’s release, previously set for August, would be delayed for a third time. The decision followed widespread controversy over the film’s intended […]

Like many Republicans in office today, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) came to power in the Barack Obama era by running against the president’s signature health-care law. Today, those Republicans are confronting a difficult political environment in which their dogged efforts to kill the Affordable Care Act may have, in fact, made it more popular. And many are trying to whitewash their prior opposition. Tillis is taking it a bit farther. The North Carolina Republican, who is facing a competitive re-election this fall, is now bragging that a health-care bill he wrote “literally” cribs language from Obamacare. In a July 27 appearance […]

Israeli Data Show School Openings Were a Disaster That Wiped Out Lockdown Gains by Nora Tarnopolsky/TheDailyBeast The assessment of Israel’s trajectory has direct bearing on the heated debate underway in the United States between President Donald Trump, who is demanding a nationwide reopening of schools for what appear to be largely political reasons, and health authorities who caution it could put the wider population at risk. Importantly, on May 17 in Israel it appeared the virus not only was under control, but defeated. Israel reported only 10 new cases of COVID-19 in the entire country that day. In the U.S., the debate often is about reopening schools […]

Police departments that get more equipment from the military kill more civilians than departments that get less military gear.

This federal effort is called the “1033 Program.” It’s named after the section of the 1997 National Defense Authorization Act that allows the U.S. Defense Department to give police agencies around the country equipment, including weapons and ammunition, that the […]

With almost 125,000 Americans dead and tens of million more still out of work, the U.S. government Thursday night filed its brief in opposition to the Affordable Care Act with the Supreme Court.

For good measure, the Foundation for Moral Law, the non-profit helmed by Kayla Moore, wife of the Trump-approved ex-Alabama judge with an eye for under-age girls, is siding with the government. The reality is that Americans place greater faith in Joe Biden than the president when it comes to […]
The Trump administration is taking seriously a shocking claim from its enemy in Afghanistan that the Taliban foiled an Islamic State plot to assassinate a senior U.S. diplomat, U.S. officials confirm to The Daily Beast. Officials said they’re investigating an assertion, made in a recent Taliban video, that the local branch of the so-called Islamic State recruited two men to murder Zalmay Khalilzad, the State Department’s envoy in charge of negotiating peace with the Taliban. “The U.S. Government takes any potential threat against U.S. personnel seriously,” a State Department spokesperson told The Daily Beast. “U.S. officials are investigating the video.” Afghan […]
Researchers in Israel say they’ve created a face mask that kills the Covid-19 virus with heat. The virus-zapping mask has a USB port that allows a power source such as a phone charger to be connected to it.

Professor Yair Ein-Eli, who led the research team at Technion, the Israeli Institute of Technology, in Haifa, explained that one of the main problems with the typical disposable […]

Liz Szabo, Kaiser Health News In cities across the country, police departments have attempted to quell unrest spurred by the death of George Floyd by firing rubber bullets into crowds, even though five decades of evidence shows such weapons can disable, disfigure and even kill. In addition to rubber bullets—which often have a metal core—police have used tear gas, flash-bang grenades, pepper spray gas and projectiles to control crowds of demonstrators demanding justice for 46-year-old George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck, while other officers restrained his body. Some peaceful demonstrations have turned violent, with people […]
VT: Trump asked for his supporters to attack demonstrators. This one was a movie fan and as in The Long Kiss Goodnight, the good guys won and he got his MAGA hat wearing stiinking ass kicked.

India 10:27 GMT 31.05.2020Get short URL New Delhi (Sputnik): Indian farmers have faced immense losses over the last two months due to the ongoing coronavirus-induced lockdown and locust attacks. While addressing the nation on Sunday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised all possible support to those farmers affected by the worst invasion of migratory pests in three decades.

Ira Latrell Toles didn’t immediately recognize Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin in the now-viral video of him holding his knee on George Floyd’s neck as the handcuffed black man repeatedly told him he couldn’t breathe. But when news outlets identified the officers involved, Toles, 33, realized the man responsible for Floyd’s death was the same police officer who barged into his home and beat him up in the bathroom before shooting him in the stomach 12 years earlier while responding to a domestic violence call. “The officer that killed that guy might be the one that shot me,” Toles texted his sister […]
Moments after President Donald Trump shockingly declared that he has been taking the controversial anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as preventive treatment for the coronavirus, Fox News host Neil Cavuto warned viewers that the drug could literally kill them. “All right, that was stunning,” Cavuto gasped after Trump’s remarks concluded. “The President of the United States just acknowledged that he’s taking hydroxychloroquine, a drug that is really meant to treat malaria and lupus. The president insisted that it has enormous benefits for patients either trying to prevent or already have COVID-19.” The veteran Fox News anchor went on to note that while the […]

Bloomberg has yet again had to correct the title of an article, after rolling out a report about why Covid-19 hasn’t “killed more Russians.” Moscow has argued that Western media distort Russia’s fight against the disease. US-based Bloomberg News had published the story, originally titled “Experts Want to Know Why Coronavirus Hasn’t Killed More Russians,” on Wednesday. The news piece was ostensibly about how Russia’s relatively low death toll from Covid-19 “puzzles health experts,” especially since the nation has the second-highest number of officially-recorded cases of the disease, trailing only behind the US. The headline prompted a backlash online, with people […]
President Donald Trump snapped back at MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough in a jaw-dropping way last week, calling for an investigation into the Morning Joe host’s deceased intern. Liberal media was quick to blast him for peddling a “conspiracy,” but during an appearance on Imus in the Morning in 2003, the host and Scarborough joked about having an affair with his intern and having to kill her. The audio had seemingly been scrubbed from the internet, but a record of it was found on Democrats.com. Video of that “joke” has now been uncovered. TRENDING: WTH?

Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner received a sharp rebuke on Wednesday when she posed a question to a Democratic pundit based off President Donald Trump’s baseless claim that his rivals want the economy to stay closed through the 2020 election in order to defeat him, prompting her to snap back that she was “just asking questions.” During a recent interview with pro-Trump Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, the president was asked if he thinks his political opponents are rooting for pandemic-related shutdowns to remain in effect through November. “Yeah, I do. I do. I think it’s a political thing,” Trump declared, […]

Afghanistan attacks: President orders military to switch to offensive mode …by PressTV, Tehran [ Editor’s Note: The Kabul government got its thank you today for releasing a 1000 Taliban prisoners without having gotten any of theirs released. ISIS took credit for the funeral slaughter, one of their specialties, although the US has bombed other of civilian gatherings over the years as “doo-doo happens” incidents. I would be surprised if the Taliban did the maternity slaughter, although years ago they were poisoning the water in girls schools to protest their being educated.

Top Shelf Progress must keep pace with need. An overriding theme during day three of Consensus: Distributed was that the pace of technological development – driven by interconnected but diffuse organizations – must keep up with (or keep in mind) the needs of actual people and societies. “To solve a problem you need to see it first,” said Tyrone V. Ross, director of community at Altruist, a platform for financial advisors. Only by working directly with communities can organizations truly come to understand their financial needs. There’s disagreement in and outside of crypto on how to best orient technological progress for […]
While for Israelis 14 May will always be remembered as a day when a new nation was born, for Palestinians, it is remembered as a catastrophe, and is associated with expulsions, dire economic conditions, humiliation and the loss of property, the total cost of which stands at more than $50 billion. Friday will mark 72 years since the Israeli declaration of independence in 1948. Palestinians call this day the Nakba, which translates as ‘catastrophe’ in English, a day when they remember the displacement of Palestinians that accompanied the establishment of Israel’s statehood. The war that followed shortly after the announcement led to […]

I’ve been watching the craft beer industry collapse over the past few months. After 20 years of writing about how upstart craft brewers have steadily taken customers from mainstream brands, it’s a shock to see this whole world shatter under the hammer of the coronavirus pandemic. Given that everything is now upside down maybe I shouldn’t be shocked, but overall, things are pretty grim. The disease has broken the long growth curve of craft beer, which had outperformed the overall category for more than a decade—and it only took a month. In April, according to the latest numbers from industry watcher […]
This week, countries across Europe have celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the Allied forces crushing the Nazis, an effort to which the Soviet Union was absolutely fundamental and essential. The relations between Czechia, one of many countries liberated by the redoubtable Red Army at the conclusion of World War II’s European theatre, and the Russian Federation have been anything but warm and cordial recently. At the end of April, scores of Western journalists and pundits seized upon a seemingly sensational story – mere weeks earlier, a Russian intelligence operative was said to have flown into Prague armed with a suitcase containing […]
As Spain gradually lifts its coronavirus lockdown, some residents were treated to a rare and mesmerizing spectacle as a vast, pure-white veil that covered a local park just burned away before their very eyes, as if by dark magic. This was no snow-white tale, however; rather, local authorities were burning off a thick layer of fluff from the fruits of Canadian poplar trees, the pure-white veil that had blanketed the Cidacos de Calahorra park in La Rioja, Spain. Given that they are made of fluff, not too dissimilar to dust, and therefore have few calories, they burn rapidly and without much, […]

Defying public-health guidelines and putting senators at risk to elevate a favorite judge to the second highest court in the land, Mitch McConnell behaves like a man who knows his time is running out. He’s already filled some 200 federal judgeships with young, Federalist Society approved conservatives poised to overturn the Affordable Care Act. With the election looking iffy for the president, McConnell has dropped all pretense of an unbiased judiciary in his rush to beat the clock.
