Peter Dejong | AP. “Clearly the U.S. and its allies do not want transparency and open debate about the OPCW Douma investigation, and one can only conclude that this is the case because they know full well that their claims cannot be substantiated. Smears and censorship are the only tactics they have left.” – […]
Russian authorities have no powers to open a case against a Moscow-born attacker who beheaded a teacher in France, an embassy spokesman has said, adding that his origin is not as important as the place of his radicalization. Russia has no plans to launch its own investigation into the brutal murder committed in the town of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, not far from the French capital, the Russian embassy said on Saturday. This is because there are no legal means to investigate a murder on French soil, Sergey Parinov, the embassy’s spokesman, told RT France. However, the embassy has contacted the French Interior Ministry over the case […]
At least 118 officers have left the Seattle Police Department (SPD) following mass Black Lives Matter protests and city budget cuts. It currently has around 1,200 officers on its force – the lowest number in a decade. According to statistics from the mayor’s office, the month of September typically sees five to seven officers depart from the department, but this year a whopping 39 officers left, including three who were still in training. Other departures included officers who sought lateral moves to other departments or retired altogether. Making those numbers even more dire is the fact they don’t include another 14 […]

Riyadh was ordered to make the officials – including a prince and his chief of staff – available for deposition in a judgment made public on Thursday, just a day before the 19th anniversary of the worst terror attack ever to take place on US soil. Manhattan federal Judge Sarah Netburn ruled the victims’ families have the right to question Saudi officials about their […]

TORONTO (Sputnik) – The current societal unrest in Canada, the United States, and other parts of the world is proof that current systems in place are failing citizens, Communist Party of Canada leader Liz Rowley said in an interview. Amid the ongoing unrest, politicians, activists, and other public figures have often asserted that communists and other left-wing groups are at fault. Rowley says that while communists and other left-wing factions are part of the movement for change, to characterize the protests as a left-wing conspiracy is to ignore all the issues that ordinary citizens are currently facing. “I can tell you […]

In one video that starts […]

China lashed out Monday against the US, calling the nation the “true global headquarters of hackers” after White House adviser Peter Navarro reiterated unsubstantiated claims over the weekend that TikTok user data is sent to the Chinese military. Touching on a variety of anti-China angles, Navarro reiterated claims during a Fox Business interview on Sunday that user data collected by TikTok “goes right to servers in China, right to the Chinese military, the Chinese Communist Party.” The adviser also stated that TikTok, which is owned by Beijing-based company ByteDance, and similar Chinese apps can be used to “steal personal and financial […]
A developer known for working on enhancing Bitcoin privacy has set his sights on a new project he hopes will “massively improve” how we keep our transactions private. Chris Belcher, who also created the technical privacy market JoinMarket, is currently working on putting to the test CoinSwap, an idea first proposed by legendary Bitcoin developer Greg Maxwell in 2013. Belcher has been focusing on CoinSwap rather than JoinMarket because he thinks it will give users better privacy, he told CoinDesk. Belcher recently received not just one, but two grants for his efforts, showing just how excited Bitcoiners are about the potential […]
Black Lives Matter activists torch a Minneapolis Police Precinct. New polling confirms Americans are not as crazy and clueless as their mainstream media. Despite all the media BS about peaceful protests, Americans are not so willing to go along with ripping down all the statues of heroes and saints, burning and looting the business districts and threats to abolish the police. According to a new poll by Democracy Institute the fallout from the Black Lives Matter protests and riots will win President Trump his reelection. The Express reported: TRENDING: Biden Says Police Have “Become the Enemy” and Calls For Defunding the […]
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has criticized the EU for including the country in its travel ban amid the Covid-19 pandemic, saying that the decision is actually a political move. Addressing members of Turkey’s ruling party AK on Wednesday, Erdogan expressed his concerns over the bloc’s decision to exclude Turkey from its non-essential travel “safe list” and continue a travel ban on Turkish nationals. The restriction, he said, was a political stance. His comments came after the EU excluded Turkey, along with the US and other countries, from its recent list of 15 states allowed to travel to EU members from […]
The New York Times story accusing Russia of offering bounties for killing US troops in Afghanistan relied on unconfirmed intelligence from an ongoing investigation, which is now impossible to finish, a congressman has revealed. “The blood is on their hands,” Rep. Jim Banks (R-Indiana) tweeted on Monday, after attending a briefing with top intelligence officials at the White House. The Times, he said, “used unconfirmed intel in an ONGOING investigation into targeted killing of American soldiers in order to smear the President.” The real scandal: We’ll likely never know the truth… Because the @nytimes used unconfirmed intel in an ONGOING investigation […]

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to strike down Obamacare amid pandemic, recession by Sahil Kapur/NBC news WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to wipe out Obamacare, arguing that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and that the rest of the law must be struck down with it. The late-night brief, filed Thursday in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, carries major implications for the presidential election. If the justices agree, it would cost an estimated 20 million Americans their insurance coverage and nullify protections for pre-existing conditions. The Trump administration’s brief comes as the U.S. has recorded more than 120,000 deaths from COVID-19, with […]
French police will abandon the chokehold method of arresting suspects, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner promised as George Floyd protests in the US inspired renewed outrage over police conduct in France. “It will no longer be taught in police and gendarmerie schools,” Castaner said on Monday, adding that the chokehold “has its dangers.” He also vowed to pursue a policy of “zero tolerance” for racism in the police. “It is not enough to condemn it. We have to track it down and combat it.” Too many French police officers “have failed in their Republican duty” in recent weeks by allowing themselves to […]
Regular readers of this column will know about the recent surge in African peer-to-peer bitcoin transactions, now at more than $12 million a week, according to Useful Tulips.

We are a long way from mass adoption, but the circumstances driving this nascent demand in the developing world, not only for bitcoin but also for stablecoins and other cryptocurrencies, bring the human benefits of this new form of money into stark relief.

Adam Schiff, Jerrold Nadler The corrupt House Democrats are thinking about impeaching President Trump…AGAIN!
