Israeli security personnel shot and killed a Palestinian woman at the Qalandia checkpoint in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday morning, Israeli police and Palestinian witnesses said.

A video circulating on social media – confirmed by Middle East Eye to be authentic – showed men with rifles wearing private security uniforms confront a woman standing several metres away. A shot is heard and she collapses, dropping an item to the ground, which one of the security guards then appears to kick out of reach.  Continue reading “Israeli security guards kill Palestinian woman at West Bank checkpoint”

Switzerland’s highest court has ruled that parents do not have a constitutional right to provide school-aged children with private lessons at home. The decision reinforces the right of cantons to establish very restrictive rules, even bans on homeschooling.

In 2017, a mother in canton Basel City had applied for permission to provide private homeschooling for her 8-year-old son. The school authorities had rejected her application and the cantonal court followed suit, dismissing her appeal.  Continue reading “Switzerland: Federal court rules against homeschooling”

On Sept. 17, we celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, as part of Constitution Week. On this day, we recognize the signing of the U.S. Constitution and reflect upon the meaning and importance of citizenship and what it means to be an American, whether native or foreign-born.

With slightly more than 4,500 words, the Constitution formulates our system of government, comprised of checks and balances among three branches of government, in order to protect individual liberty.  Continue reading “Ken Cuccinelli: This Constitution Week, America welcomes 34,000 new legal citizens”

Lakewood, CO — There is no shortage of stories on The Free Thought Project of police K-9 units being used as vicious weapons that inflict grave injury and even death on unarmed and entirely innocent people. Elderly women, children, and other non-violent individuals have all fallen prey to the horrifying use of police K-9 units over the years. As the following incident illustrates, police are even willing to force a K-9 to attack and nearly kill people—in their sleep.  Continue reading “‘Near Murder’: Cops Force K-9 to Rip Unarmed Man to Shreds As He Slept”

Joshua Wong has recently been doing some flyin’ around and hobnobbing with the rich, famous and powerful. He went to Berlin and met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other ‘pro-democracy’ figures like Mayor of Kiev Vitaly Klitschko, who was for awhile himself a Western favorite when the US was actively involved in the color revolution in Ukraine. While there, Wong met with Raed Al Saleh, the head of the White Helmets. For those who don’t know, the White Helmets are a Western propaganda construct with close links to terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda and Jahbat Al Nusra  (now known as Tahrir Al Sham). What would a supposedly organic grassroots movement leader in China have in common with a Syrian war organization? On the surface, nothing; under the surface, everything; they are both propaganda and destabilization tools of Western (US-UK) foreign meddling and interference.   Continue reading “Hong Kong Protest Leader Hangs Out with White Helmets Boss”

Mario Rosales is organising travel arrangements for his latest clients, a Honduran woman and her two primary school-aged children hoping to reach the United States.

Rosales, 47, a coyote, or people smuggler, sends their photos via WhatsApp to his contact in the Mexican National Immigration Institute (INM) in order to obtain fake identity cards – all part of the family’s travel package, which costs $1,800 per person to traverse about half (1,750km) of the region’s most dangerous migration route.  Continue reading “‘Everyone gets paid’: Mexico’s migration networks are thriving despite crackdown”

YouTube star PewDiePie pledged to donate to an anti-hate group following criticism for peddling anti-Semitic content – then decided to pull his donation after backlash from his fans.

PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, announced on Tuesday he would be donating $50,000 to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in a video celebrating his 100 millionth YouTube subscriber. He explained in the video, “I feel like I’ve finally come to terms with the responsibility I have as a creator — about 100,000,000 subs too late, but you know.”  Continue reading “PewDiePie rescinds donation pledge to anti-hate group after fan backlash”

The Rock at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville was defaced with an anti-Semitic message on Wednesday night.

The Rock previously had been painted with the viral T-shirt design done by a young fan from Florida, who was bullied after wearing a homemade Vols T-shirt to school. That painting was covered with an anti-Semitic message, including the phrase “Jews did 9-11.” Continue reading “Anti-Semitic, 9/11 message painted on The Rock at UT-Knoxville”

Monument, CO — Every time a football player or an NBA star makes headlines for domestic abuse, the country goes up in arms as news outlets talk about domestic violence among these industries. Because of this phenomenon, 69 percent of Americans think that there is widespread domestic violence in the NFL. But the reality is that domestic violence among NFL players is well below the national average, coming in at just five percent. On the contrary, however, every time a police officer—someone who has sworn an oath to uphold the constitution and the law—beats their significant other, it barely registers as a blip in the media. This is in spite of some incredibly disturbing numbers when it comes to domestic violence among police.

The U.S. government concluded within the past two years that Israel was most likely behind the placement of cellphone surveillance devices that were found near the White House and other sensitive locations around Washington, according to three former senior U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.

But unlike most other occasions when flagrant incidents of foreign spying have been discovered on American soil, the Trump administration did not rebuke the Israeli government, and there were no consequences for Israel’s behavior, one of the former officials said.  Continue reading “Israel accused of planting mysterious spy devices near the White House”

New York schools are required to provide a moment of silence to observe the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, according to a new state law approved by Gov. Andrew Cuomo Monday.

The law calls for a brief moment of silence at the beginning of the school day every 9/11 to encourage dialogue and education in the classroom among a new generation of students who weren’t alive during the 2001 terror attacks that leveled the World Trade Center’s twin towers and killed more than 3,000 people — the worst foreign attack on American soil.  Continue reading “New law requires NY schools to observe 9/11 anniversary”

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- The holy grail of those who wish us disarmed is gun registration. Once your guns are required to be registered, they are, in effect, already confiscated. A little thought will reveal to you why this is so.

The Government will know who has legal possession of each firearm. They will know where the firearm is stored. When physical possession of the gun is desired, they can order you to turn it in. This has happened repeatedly.  Continue reading “Gun Registration is Gun Confiscation – Updated 2019 Edition”
