A primary school has cancelled a play about Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution following complaints from a group of Christian parents.

Several families threatened to withdraw their children from the play, which is aimed at 7- to 11-year-olds, as they felt one of the scenes “mocked” a bishop involved in a historic debate on evolution.

Hartford Manor Primary School, a non-religious community school in a village in Cheshire, decided to cancel the musical Darwin Rocks and replace it with a less divisive show following the objections.   Continue reading “School cancels play about Darwin and evolution after Christian parents complain”

Throughout history, the power and influence of the Jewish Lobby has been legendary.  This power in turn derives not from political might, nor from popular support, nor from moral rectitude, nor from God.  It is, simply, the power of money.  The wealthy have always held disproportionate influence in their societies, typically to the benefit of individuals or their families.  But when a distinct ethnic minority works more or less collectively, with great wealth behind them then that minority can exercise massively disproportionate power.  This power is amplified by Jewish power deriving from ownership of media in the media age, their position as creators of media content (here, p. lvi), and their influence on elite culture, particularly in the academic world.   Continue reading “A Brief Look at Jewish Wealth”

Delta Air Lines took creepiness to new heights by handing out Diet Coke napkins that invited passengers to give their numbers to fellow fliers for some flirting at cruising altitude.

“Be a little old school. Write down your number and give it to your plane crush. You never know…,” reads one napkin, according to INSIDER.   Continue reading “Delta passengers creeped out by flirtatious Diet Coke napkins”

Benjamin Netanyahu has launched his own TV channel to bypass mainstream media and ensure positive coverage ahead of the upcoming General Election. “Likud TV” was launched yesterday on the Israeli Prime Minister’s official Facebook page and will air every evening at 19:00 local time (17:00 GMT) until the election on 9 April. Sporting the slogan “we’re throwing the ‘fake’ out of the news,” the channel has been interpreted as a bid by Netanyahu to bypass traditional media outlets which he claims have engaged in a coordinated attack against him.   Continue reading “Netanyahu launches own TV channel to bypass mainstream media”

Lubbock, TX — If ever you were in doubt about the special privilege awarded to those who are members of government or the corporate oligarchy, one need only look at the following two cases. While often times, the “justice” system will grant special privileges to those connected to it, it can also be used to severely punish those who dare cause injury to one of the connected.

Because police claim authority to extort people who don’t have the proper lights on their bicycle, Angel Hernandez, 36, was targeted for this ‘offense’ last March. Hernandez showed the officer that the light on his bicycle stopped working but this was not enough.  Continue reading “Man Sentenced to 30 Years for Biting Police Officer, As Child Rapist Cop Gets Probation”

Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs are a $100 billion-a-year industry.

Lipitor was, by far, the most profitable drug in the history of mankind among all pharmaceutical products, let alone being the most profitable cholesterol drug before its patent expired at the end of 2011. Sales to date from this one particular cholesterol-lowering statin drug have exceeded $140 billion.   Continue reading “Pharma Wants Every Senior on Statin Drugs as Corporate Media Seeks to Silence Doctors Exposing the Cholesterol Myth”

A giant billboard of a smiling Donald Trump shaking hands with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu loomed over parts of Tel Aviv on Sunday, part of the Israeli leader’s re-election campaign.

Trump is popular in Israel because of his tough policies towards the Palestinians and Iran and his transfer last May of the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which he recognised as Israel’s capital in a break from long-standing US policy.   Continue reading “Netanyahu’s Likud party uses Trump photo in Israeli election billboard”

Given that it’s Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to highlight this revealing article recently published by the Jewish Telegraph Agency detailing the generous donations Robert Kraft, the Jewish owner of the New England Patriots, has given to the organized Jewish community in America and other Jewish causes in Israel. It’s no wonder the Jews are so powerful and influential in America and around the world when wealthy Jewish individuals such as Robert Kraft fund pro-Jewish organizations to the tune of millions of dollars!   Continue reading “What Has Jewish Owner Of New England Patriots Done For The Jews?”

Twitter has announced that it took down about 2,000 accounts in Venezuela, most of which it claimed were “engaged in a state-backed influence campaign.” This comes amid accusations of a US-led coup attempt.

The San Francisco-based social media giant released a blog post on Thursday saying that it removed 1,196 accounts located in Venezuela which it deemed to “appear to be engaged in a state-backed influence campaign targeting domestic audiences.” It also removed another 764 accounts, however, noted: “We are unable to definitively tie the accounts located in Venezuela to information operations of a foreign government against another country.”   Continue reading “Twitter takes down hundreds of accounts linked to Venezuela amid US calls for regime change”

The first time the Supreme Court defended the Second Amendment, it overturned a Washington, D.C., law that made it a crime to keep any sort of accessible and operable firearm in the home for self-defense. Two years later, the Court struck down a Chicago law that went almost as far, banning possession of handguns within the city limits.

Last week the Court accepted a case involving another extreme example of gun control: a law that prohibits New Yorkers from taking their legally owned handguns with them when they travel outside the city. This is only the third time in more than a decade that the justices have grappled with the question of which firearm restrictions are consistent with the Second Amendment, and the history of the case shows why that reckoning is overdue.  Continue reading “Have Gun, Can’t Travel”
