Despite the fact that it continues to spread throughout Latin America, the Caribbean and regions of southeast Asia, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Friday that it no longer views the spread of the Zika virus as a public health emergency of international concern.
Rather, the public health division of the United Stations is reclassifying the ailment, particularly its effect on pregnant women and unborn children, as a chronic problem which will not be going away anytime in the near future, according to NPR and NBC News reports.

Albuquerque, NM — On March 16, 2014, Albuquerque police officers executed James Boyd for illegal camping. The entire incident was captured on the officer’s body cam which led to the now-retired Officer Keith Sandy and Officer Dominique Perez being charged with the murder of the 38-year-old homeless man suffering schizophrenia in August last year. It also started a firestorm of backlash against police and a nationwide demand for cops to wear body cams. However, the additional accountability of police filming themselves has been brought into question as the Albuquerque police department has just been caught ‘deleting, encrypting, altering, and destroying’ these very videos.

Britain has passed what everyone calls the “snooper’s charter” otherwise known as the Investigatory Powers Bill. This new legislation establishes the legal framework authorizing the government to hack into devices, networks and services in bulk and to create vast databases of personal information on all UK citizens. This is a preliminary step for a movement to impose worldwide taxation on Brits. This is really to hunt money, not terrorism. Continue reading “Britain Passes the Snooper Charter Ending ALL Privacy”

Until corporate media and the neoliberal establishment refused to acknowledge their direct role in the election of Donald Trump and threw a temper-tantrum about misinformation on social media to scapegoat blame, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg balked at the notion faulty reports circulating on social media had anything at all to do with the November 8th shocker.

Water protectors from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe can now declare their most tangible victory to date — one of the heftiest investors in the Dakota Access Pipeline, Norway’s largest bank, has pulled its assets from the project.
Just 10 days ago, DNB warned it might withdraw funding for construction of the contentious pipeline if concerns raised by the Standing Rock Sioux were not addressed promptly. That statement, cited by Reuters, read: Continue reading “One of the Largest Banks Funding DAPL Just Pulled Its Assets from the Project”
Speaking at a joint press conference with outgoing American President Barack Obama on his farewell tour, German Chancellor Angela Merkel made chilling remarks about her views on the need for government to control the internet and slammed anti-Islamisation protesters who she accused of hijacking the German spirit for liberty.
German Chancellor Merkel, who is presently deciding whether to run for a historic fourth term on the strength of her pro-migrant policies which have seen her lauded with praise by President Obama, moved to address populism in her joint address.

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- During the founding of America and our republic, the general belief was that religious faith was necessary to the health of a people.
Protestant Christians dominated in an increasing variety of denominations, but Roman Catholics and Jews were present early on thanks to our shores welcoming the persecuted to seek their own havens. Religious tolerance became a colonial ethic. (Sadly, Muslims were not yet “building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy”.)

A menacing gray skyscraper, known as the Long Lines Building to New Yorkers, assumed to be nothing more than an AT&T hub, is one of the most important surveillance facilities of the National Security Agency (NSA).
An investigation by The Intercept found that the “Project X” building – constructed to withstand an atomic blast and house and feed 1,500 people for two weeks – is host to the NSA as it works with AT&T conducting mass surveillance.

California has some of the worst shield laws in the country. These laws are written to indefinitely conceal officer records from the public view when officers are investigated for misconduct or disciplinary actions are taken against them.
Former police officer Noah Winchester was placed on indefinite leave from the San Mateo Police Department last October. Under California law, police chief Susan Manheimer is not legally permitted to say why. Continue reading “California Shield Laws Conceal Officer History and Internal Affairs Investigations”

Wow. Maybe Obama is going for another award or something.
The president, who is on pace to increase the national debt another $2.4 trillion in his final year, just passed a whopping 527 pages of regulations in a single day — a new record, even for him. Continue reading “Obama Just Broke a New Record on Regulations — a Whopping 527 Pages in a Single DAY”
A 23-year-old man who was scalded to death after falling into a boiling Yellowstone National Park hot spring in June was trying to test the temperature of the bubbling pool for a soak when he slipped in, according to a report on the incident.
Colin Nathaniel Scott was seen by his sister, Sable, plunging into the hot spring near Pork Chop Geyser on June 7.

China has slammed a recent US Congressional report accusing Beijing of interfering in Hong Kong as “irresponsible,” while strongly objecting “to any foreign institutions intervening” in what it insists “are purely China’s internal affairs.”
The US report “inappropriately commented [on] and smeared” the Chinese government’s policies towards Hong Kong, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry commissioner’s office in Hong Kong said, as cited by the South China Morning Post newspaper.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan said Thursday he will challenge Rep. Nancy Pelosi as House minority leader, shaking up the Democratic leadership race after the party’s electoral shellacking.
“What we are doing right now is not working,” the 43-year-old Ryan said in a letter. “Under our current leadership, Democrats have been reduced to our smallest congressional minority since 1929. This should indicate to all of us that keeping our leadership team completely unchanged will simply lead to more disappointment in future elections.” Continue reading “Democrat Tim Ryan to Challenge Nancy Pelosi for House Minority Leader”

Houston, TX — An eye-opening video of a judge making a callous admission of how his job is dependent upon police extracting wealth from poor people for traffic ‘offenses’ exposes an underlying problem within America’s ‘justice’ system. From the bailiff to the judge — their careers depend upon police preying on the poor.
It is no question, criminals do not like the police. But to stop critical thought at this point is entirely irresponsible. Continue reading “Judge Admits Arresting Poor People for Traffic Tickets Gives Him ‘Job Security’”

In 2015, as a guest on Ron Paul’s Liberty Report, Economics Professor Joseph Salerno warned of a coming war on cash. Apparently, now, that time has come. Governments loathe cash transactions because they’re private and hard to tax. As a result, some countries are taking drastic measures to reclaim their bank notes.
Salerno said, “The French premier last year (2014) drew a parallel between the war on terror and the war on cash,” and warned the world’s economic elite are now “using the war on terror as a cover to get at cash.” The Mises Institute professor and VP predicted to Paul, “I think this could come in the next couple of years. If they have to bail out the financial system again…they’ll block the cash in the banks to prevent it from escaping and destabilizing these fractional reserve banks,” Salerno said.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper announced his resignation on Thursday and said it “felt pretty good” to step down, ending a six-year tenure as the top U.S. spy that included a sometimes rocky relationship with Congress.
Clapper, 75, a retired three-star U.S. Air Force general, will stay on until Democratic President Barack Obama leaves office in January. He has said for months he intended to leave when Obama departed and his replacement will be chosen by Republican President-elect Donald Trump.

Wednesday at the University of Michigan, civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson called on outgoing President Barack Obama to pardon Hillary Clinton.
Jackson said, “President Lincoln pardoned Jefferson Davis and other confederates who engaged in treason against the United States of America in an effort to bind up and heal wounds after the Civil War. President Ford did the same thing with respect to Richard Nixon after Watergate even though he had violated, dishonored and debased the Constitution. While it was clear that he would have been impeached and convicted and driven from office, legally and technically he was never indicted, tried, nor convicted of anything. Unique to Ford and Nixon was that Nixon was never officially accused, tried or even saw the pardon. President Ford was simply determined to stop the potential harm, restrain the hemorrhaging and heal the wound.” Continue reading “Jesse Jackson: ‘It Would Be Wise in the Name of Justice’ for Obama to Pardon Hillary”
An alarming new report from the United Nations is the latest in a litany of studies suggesting that the coming age of automation and workforces dominated by robots will be upon us much faster than previously thought. The U.N. now claims two-thirds of the human labor force in developing nations will be replaced by automation.
The U.N. says a Universal Basic Income will be necessary as a stop-gap for the 75% of humans left without work. Continue reading “Report: Two-Thirds of Workers in Developing Nations to Be Replaced by Robots”
