The Syrian conflict has an endless capability to surprise analysts as seemingly every other day a new element, unprecedented in the Syrian civil war, comes to the surface. Such is the case with the arrival of the first Chinese Army special forces unit, “the Night Tigers,” to Syria’s Tartous port on the Mediterranean, according to reports in Arab media close to the Assad and Tehran regimes (the Al-Mayadeen TV channel).² The Night Tigers were dispatched by Beijing to fight the Uyghurs, the Muslim Chinese ethnic group fighting with the rebel forces against the Assad regime.   Continue reading “Chinese Troops Arrive in Syria to Fight Uyghur Rebels”

Western societies could give up alcohol within a generation in favour of hangover-free synthetic alcohol, a leading drugs scientist has claimed.

Professor David Nutt, a former government drugs advisor teaching at Imperial College, said “alcosynth” will mimic the popular effects of alcohol – without the sickness and throbbing headache commonly experienced the following day.   Continue reading “Western societies will ‘give up alcohol’ within a generation, leading drugs scientist claims”

Earlier this year the kingdom of Saudi Arabia granted citizenship to an artificial intelligence robot named Sophia. Sophia was created by Hanson Robotics, and it has been generally accepted that she was created to appeal to the audience of the Future Investment Initiative. AI ethicist Joanna Bryson, however, said in an interview with The Verge that the stunt was “obviously bullshit.”

Sophia, however, is determined to make the most of this AI life that she has been given and has turned into an advocate for women’s rights in a country where, up until September of this year, women were not allowed to drive cars.   Continue reading “Saudi Arabia Granted Citizenship To A Robot & Now She’s Calling For Women’s Rights”

That’s right, on June 28 the ANTIFA tweeted from the “official” account the following statement proudly:   Continue reading “ANTIFA endorsed “pouring concrete on train tracks” and even made a “how-to video,” now a train has really derailed in the same city”

Legislation to ban foreigners from buying homes in New Zealandwill be introduced, as the country’s housing crisis continues.

In a move that could become a test-case for other nations suffering housing shortages, the country will only allow those who hold a residential visa to buy existing homes.

It means overseas developers and individuals will have to build new homes if they want to purchase residential property.   Continue reading “New Zealand bans foreigners from buying homes as housing crisis escalates”

When Donald Trump was campaigning for president, he promised that if elected, he would

1. “make the country great again”,
2. “give the country back to the people”, and
3. “drain the swamp”.

There are currently 50+ federal bills being endorsed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and many elected officials which allow telecom companies to install 5G small cell tower infrastructure in residential yards, public rights of ways, historical districts, and pretty much everywhere they damn well please.  http://scientists4wiredtech.com/legislation/

Parents of local children, education officials and leading Danish politicians have criticized a primary school after it chose to cancel the traditional Christmas service, due to the presence of students of immigrant backgrounds.

“We took the decision because we have children who are not Protestant,” Marianne Vederso Schmidt, the head of Gribskolen in Graested, a town of fewer than 5,000 people in eastern Denmark, wrote in an intranet posting earlier this month.   Continue reading “Criticism after Danish school cancels Christmas to avoid ‘preaching’ to non-Christian children”

End of the American Dream – by Michael Snyder

You just can’t make this stuff up.  All over America we push our young people to get good grades so that they can get “a college education”, but then once they get through college many of our young people are completely unequipped to deal with the real world.  Personally, I spent eight years at public universities, and I can tell you that the quality of education that our college students are receiving is a complete joke.  Especially on the undergraduate level, almost all testing consists of either true/false, multiple choice or fill in the blank questions.  Students learn very few useful skills at our “institutions of higher learning”, and many of them leave school barely even able to function in society.  Continue reading “Vampires, Zombies And ‘Hooking Up’: 37 Examples Of Real College Courses That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe”
