Fresno County, CA — A cellphone video surfaced this week showing two Fresno cops, breaking into a locked yard and killing a family dog.

Police were apparently responding to a call from a neighbor about a crying baby when they broke through the family’s fence and entered their backyard. As they walked into the back yard, they completely ignored the “Beware of Dog” sign and the “Guard dog on duty” sign, and they ignored the dog himself.   Continue reading “Cops Caught on Video Breaking into Family’s Backyard, Killing Dog in Front of 2-Year-Old Girl”

A major public-interest group that investigate and exposes government and political corruption — even criminality — released documents that included an official correspondence from Obama’s Under Secretary of State for Management, Patrick F. Kennedy, advising Hillary Clinton‘s legal counsel to literally destroy all copies of a classified email. The email in question was discovered in records Clinton turned over to the State Department six months before, according to Judicial Watch on Thursday.   Continue reading “Exposed: Hillary Clinton told by State Dept. to destroy Benghazi files”

This past weekend, trigger-happy Egyptian military brutally mowed-down a caravan of visiting Mexican tourists having an afternoon desert picnic, killing 12 and injuring 10 others. The cruel nonsensical act was carried with an Apache helicopter gunship supplied by the USA.

Egypt’s joint police and military operation claimed they were “chasing terrorist elements” in the Wahat region, and claim to have “mistakenly” emptied hundreds of rounds per second into four pick-up trucks carrying innocent Mexican tourists.   Continue reading “Egyptian Army Slaughter Mexican Tourists Having Picnic, Using US-Supplied Apache Gunships”

When Western media outlets first started to report that the Russian military had arrived in Syria, the Russian government was quick to clarify the situation. Putin admitted that his nation’s military was providing equipment and training for Assad’s military, and left it at that. “To say we’re ready to do this today — so far it’s premature to talk about this. But we are already giving Syria quite serious help with equipment and training soldiers, with our weapons.”   Continue reading “Satellite Image Reveals the Extent of Russian Base in Syria”

As all eyes turn to this week’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting for an answer to the will they / won’t they Fed rate hike question, we face another stark reminder of how the global economy is increasingly at the whim of the central bankers with their hands on the money spigot. The would-be “Masters of the (Phoney, Manipulated) Universe” known as the Federal Reserve board have the power to send the global economy into a tailspin by hiking rates, causing a giant unwind of the almost-never-mentioned dollar carry trade in emerging economies.   Continue reading “The BIS Foresees the Crisis Their Member Banks Are Creating”

Do you distrust the banking system? Prefer to do business in cash? Complain about the encroachment of Big Brother into every facet of your life?

Addressing the Russian top brass on Wednesday, Vladimir Putin lambasted U.S. Middle-East policy for being ‘disastrous’ as Saudi-backed rebels vowed to purge Syria and Iraq from Christians and other ethnic and religious minorities.

“We have nearly two million orthodox Christians in the Levant—Syria and Lebanon— and approximately 5 million Christians across Middle-East. Regardless of America’s presidential election outcome, White House craves chaos in that oil-rich region by supporting fanatic Islamist organizations, i.e. ISIS and al-Nusra Front,” Moskovskaya Pravda cited the Russian president as saying.   Continue reading “Putin to Russian army officers: operation ‘Salvation’ shall begin soon, you must prepare to cleanse Syria from Obama’s terrorists”

In the face of another looming defeat on trying to block the P5+! nuclear deal with Iran, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Bob Corker (R – TN) is focused instead on the upcoming vote on the extension of the Iran Sanctions Act.

The act is set to expire next year, and the bill would extend it another decade. There’s little disagreement in Congress about this, though President Obama has objected to pushing a vote right now on the grounds the timing would make the US look like it’s averse to the nuclear deal.   Continue reading “Sen. Corker: Senate Could Override Veto on Iran Sanctions”
