Israel has shown it is ready and willing to use the might of its air force, as it did in order to kill a single “armed terrorist” – a Palestinian man spotted at the border fence with Gaza.
“Overnight, an IAF aircraft targeted an armed terrorist adjacent to the security fence in northern Gaza,” the Israeli Army said in a statement. It added that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operations against “terrorists” will not allow “any harm to the security of Israeli civilians.” Continue reading “Israel calls in Air Force to target ONE ‘armed terrorist’ on Gaza border”
A giant caravan of Central American migrants illegally crossing through Mexico, in the hopes of illegally crossing into the U.S., has ground to a halt as over a thousand migrants begin their fourth day camped out at a Mexican sports arena.
“We’re in limbo,” said one asylum seeker camped outside of the center – surrounded by garbage bags full of trash and rolled up mattresses. Continue reading ““We’re In Limbo”: Migrant Caravan Stalls Out In Mexico, Organizers Admit Defeat”

Update: It appears that either the British government can’t keep its lies and proof-less accusations straight or something far more nefarious is at play.
Following headlines (below) that British government scientists admitted they couldn’t tell where the poison – identified by the UK as A-234, also known as Novichok, used in the Salisbury poisoning of the Skripals – came from, undermining a number of claims to come out of Westminster, The UK Foreign Office denies claiming the nerve agent used in the Salisbury poisoning of the Skripals came directly from Russia, despite admitting it sent a tweet saying exactly that, and Boris Johnson making the same claim.

Piers Morgan used a series of tweets Monday to call for a ban on all semi-automatic guns and stress his conviction that “no civilian needs one.”
His call for a ban on semi-automatic firearms was followed by other tweets in which he told Americans that the Second Amendment was never intended to protect an individual right to keep and bear arms. Rather, it was only intended to protect militias members’ ability to be armed. Continue reading “Piers Morgan: Ban All Semi-Automatic Guns, ‘No Civilian Needs One’”
Days after the bloodshed along the border with Gaza, Israel’s defense minister, Avigdor Liberman, has vowed a lethal response to those who approach the border fence again.

Liberman emphasized that all protestors would face Israeli snipers. Continue reading “Israeli defense minister threatens death to Palestinians coming to border”
The Centers for Disease Control is saying that “nightmare bacteria” are attempting to spread themselves across the United States. These new bacteria allegedly have the power to resist antibiotics and the media is hyping up the fear rhetoric.
Antibiotic-resistant germs kill about 23,000 Americans every year, however, Federal health officials have said new and massively aggressive testing can help keep these “nightmare bacteria” from spreading. According to NBC News, a new program for testing suspect bacteria turned up unusual antibiotic-resistance genes 221 times in 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. Additionally, 11 percent of people screened for these superbugs carried them, even though they had no symptoms, the CDC said.

Asheville, NC – Crossing the street in a manner deemed “illegal” by the state can and will get you beaten, shot, kidnapped, caged, and even killed. Body Camera footage was released last month illustrating this dangerous reality. The video shows one police officer restraining a man down while another officer repeatedly punches him in the head after they confronted him for the “crime” of jaywalking. Last month, in an extremely rare move by the District Attorney, the cop who was recorded doing the beating has been criminally charged and arrested.

While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, President Trump stated that until there is “a wall and proper security, we’re going to be guarding our border with the military.”
Trump said, “I’ve been speaking with General Mattis. We’re going to be doing things militarily. Until we can have a wall and proper security, we’re going to be guarding our border with the military. That’s a big step. We really haven’t done that before, or certainly not very much before. But we will be doing things with Mexico, and they have to do it, otherwise, I’m not going to do the NAFTA deal.” Continue reading “Trump: Until There’s ‘A Wall and Proper Security, We’re Going to Be Guarding our Border with the Military’”
As Argentina remembered the lives it lost during the brutal 1982 Falklands War with the UK, its president has pledged to keep the effort to reclaim the islands alive. But the conflict dates from way before 1982.
Located almost 13,000km from British shores and some 1,500km from Argentina, the Falkland Islands – also known as Las Malvinas – are the subject of a 200-year sovereignty dispute. Its bloodiest chapter came in 1982, when 900 people died in a war to decide the ownership of the islands, which were inhabited by fewer than 2,000 people at the time. Continue reading “‘Our dream is stronger than ever’: 36yrs after Falklands War, Argentina vows to reclaim islands”

Sometimes one has to question whether it is correct to submit information or forget it, especially when one part of the resource is extremely revealing and enlightening, while another part is seemingly esoteric, so it makes one wonder.

While the connections between the plans to destroy Syria and the Obama administration are generally known, what is even less well-known is the fact that there existed a plan to destroy Syria as far back as not only the Bush administration but also the Reagan Administration in 1983.
Documents contained in the U.S. National Archives and drawn up by the CIA reveal a plan to destroy the Syrian government going back decades. One such document entitled, “Bringing Real Muscle To Bear In Syria,” written by CIA officer Graham Fuller, is particularly illuminating. In this document, Fuller wrote, Continue reading “1986 CIA Document Analyzes Possibilities Of “Regime Change” In Syria”
When the initiative was first announced, McDonald’s decision to raise its employees’ wages to $1 above minimum wage (albeit only at corporate-owned stores, a minority of the company’s total count) was hailed as a radical example of corporate accountability – a direct repudiation of the far-left notion that “quarterly capitalism” and employers accepting responsibility for their employees were mutually exclusive.
