In 1986, I was nominated to the RNC leadership. I worked on several campaigns and as a ‘fixer’ for the White House. As you will see in the CBS video, if you failed to notice that the GOP is a toxic organization steeped in Klan beliefs, you simply aren’t paying attention. These top Republicans all agree, their service to the GOP was done out of short sighted stupidity. The GOP does and always has represented the power of Satan on earth, nothing less and Donald Trump is simply proof they no longer try to hide it. Both Meidas Touch and Project […]

Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/india/202010121080746313-test-launch-of-indias-subsonic-nirbhay-cruise-missile-aborted-in-eight-minutes-heres-why/ India has been fast-tracking development and deployment of modern weapons amid the ongoing border tensions with China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh. A total of 20 Indian soldiers were killed in a brutal face-off with Chinese soldiers in mid-June. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) test fired the “Nirbhay” missile at 10:30 AM (IST) into the Bay of Bengal on Monday from a test facility in the Indian state of Odisha. However, just eight minutes later, the trial was aborted. This is the fourth time since 2013 […]
Demonstrations across Portland, Oregon have continued through the year, beginning with the death of George Floyd and other African American men at the hands of United States law enforcement. The protests have emerged in opposition to what they claim is inherent racism within the police force. Anti-racism protests in Portland came to a swift end when law enforcement cracked down and arrested attendees outside the Police Bureau’s North Precinct. Around 40 protesters stood on the North Precinct Building’s driveway just after 10 pm on Saturday in what was the 123rd night of demonstrations. They were ordered to move onto the sidewalk […]
The Danish Parliament has revealed that a supposed online meeting featuring leading Belarusian opposition figure Svetlana Tikhanovskaya actually involved an unknown prankster, who spoke to them about “animal brothels.” In an embarrassing turn of events for Copenhagen, on Tuesday, a group of the country’s MPs were taken for a ride for an entire 40 minutes before they realized something was wrong. And that was despite the obvious giveaway that the fake Tikhanovskaya could not appear on camera, citing technical difficulties. According to local media, reality dawned after over half an hour of questioning, when ‘Tikhanovskaya’ asked a question about “brothels with […]

People bought all 134 available seats within 10 minutes, with tickets, ranging from economy to business class, priced between $575 and $2,765, media reported, citing a Qantas spokesperson. “It’s probably the fastest selling flight in Qantas history”, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce was quoted as saying. “People clearly miss travel and the experience of flying. If the demand is there, we’ll definitely look at doing more of […]

According to the company’s findings, 2 in 3 people are unaware of the effect that blue light emitted by screens has on the skin. The findings were based on a poll of 1,318 consumers conducted in August. Although blue light can boost alertness and help memory and cognitive function, it can also penetrate deep […]
John Brennan claims he’s not the subject of a criminal investigation and John Durham told him so. However, it’s more likely Brennan committed perjury numerous times in their eight hour get-together on Friday. As we reported yesterday, John Brennan is the king of corrupt spin. It looks like all things related to the Trump – Russia collusion fairy tale go back to Brennan. The interactions between the US and foreign entities most likely involved the CIA and lead back to Brennan. It’s all Brennan. This is why it’s puzzling when you hear the word on the street that Brennan is not […]

Several foreign governments have already extended offers to provide all the aid that Lebanon might need due to the tragic incident. While authorities in Beirut are rushing to help those affected by the deadly explosion that rocked the city and to determine what caused it, the first eyewitnesses have started sharing their accounts of the terrifying event. One recalled that everything started with a strong wind blowing outside that grew […]

West previously missed the registration deadlines in a number of US states, including Texas, but qualified for the presidential ballot in Oklahoma by paying a fee. Representatives for Kanye West have filed signatures for the rapper to appear on the US presidential ballot in the state of Illinois, just four minutes before the State Board of Elections deadline on 5 pm local time, Fox News reported, citing a spokesperson. At least 2,500 signatures of registered Illinois voters are required to get on the ballot. West’s representatives have submitted 412 petition sheets, and each page usually contains 10 names. Election officials are […]
New Jersey pharmaceutical firm Becton, Dickinson and Company has won approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a fast, easy-to-use test for novel coronavirus infections. At first glance, the Veritor test system from BD, as the company is widely known, might seem like exactly the thing public-health officials have been clamoring for since SARS-CoV-2 first reached the United States early this year. But a closer look at BD’s data reveals limits to the new test’s effectiveness. And that underscores how difficult it can be to quickly develop a coronavirus test that’s both fast and accurate. The FDA approved BD’s […]
Assange Extradition: ’60 Minutes’ Gives Assange Fair Shake June 23, 2020 Assange Extradition: ’60 Minutes’ Gives Assange Fair Shake2020-06-232020-06-23https://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2017/12/popres-shorter.pngPopularResistance.Orghttps://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2020/06/assange-1.jpg200px200px The Australian version of the CBS News program ’60 Minutes’ presented a segment on Julian Assange Sunday night that was missing the usual mainstream media smears and distortions about his case. Australia’s 60 Minutes newsmagazine Sunday night aired an extensive interview with Stella Morris, Julian Assange’s partner, and featured the two boys the couple have had together. While the promos for the segment during the week indicated it would focus on salacious questions such as, “How does one get pregnant in […]
The full life of a digital asset-backed security (ABS) on a blockchain can be settled in 40 minutes versus the 10 to 14 days it would take in a paper-based setting. That was the outcome of a pilot first revealed June 11 by mutual fund giant Vanguard in partnership with blockchain startup Symbiont, Citi, BNY Mellon, State Street and an unnamed ABS issuer. The goal of the project: to see if the decades-old Wall Street practice of repackaging contractual debt – be it car loans, mortgages or credit card debt – into bonds sold to investors, known as securitization, can be […]
WARNING: The video below contains graphic content. Two years before George Floyd pleaded with a Minneapolis police officer to remove his knee from his neck, Timothy Coffman screamed out for help while he was pinned face down on the ground in Florida—his ankles tied while officers used the same move to restrain him. Coffman, a 36-year-old who struggled with mental illness, was beaten with a baton and tased several times before two South Daytona officers pressed their knees into his back and neck for more than four minutes on June 28, 2018, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in the Middle District […]
Advertisement – story continues below There are reports tonight that police officers in Atlanta, Georgia called off work tonight after murder charges were filed against Officer Garrett Rolfe in the death of Rayshard Brooks last weekend. There are now audio clips of Atlanta police dispatchers giving a long list of “Code 12” which means there was no one to send to a call in. Here’s a clip where a dispatcher is told that any “29,” meaning a fight in progress “where there’s nobody getting severely jacked up or weapons” will be “auto Code 12.” #AtlantaScannerhttps://t.co/GbYjdPGDTk — CWBChicago (@CWBChicago) June 18, […]
The planned NASA/SpaceX launch out of Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the International Space Station was nixed on Wednesday due to bad weather. Thunderstorms and cloudy skies threatened the effort going into Wednesday and with conditions not clearing less than a half hour before the planned launch, the mission was axed. The attempted launch was the first time since the retirement of the space shuttles in July 2011 that NASA astronauts were meant to take a rocket from American soil with the intention of reaching the International Space Station (ISS). Despite NASA astronauts crewing the rocket, SpaceX — which built […]
