The United States is preparing for all options to counter the growing threat from North Korea, including launching a “preventive war,” national security adviser H.R. McMaster said in an interview that aired Saturday on MSNBC. The comments come after North Korea carried out two tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles in the past month and after the president said he has been clear he will not tolerate North Korea’s threats to attack the U.S. with nuclear weapons.   Continue reading “McMaster: U.S. Preparing For “Preventive War” With North Korea”

The use of biometric identification is becoming a real-time case study in how the public is incrementally conditioned to accept the total erosion of privacy for supposed convenience and security.

As I’ve been covering over the last several months, a 15-year-old mandate from the federal government to implement biometric ID for airline travel is finally being implemented at various airports throughout the United States. Meanwhile, countries like Australia and the UK also have airport biometrics programs rolling out, with Australia seeking to make it a requirement nationwide by 2020. The UK has gone even one step further and has been testing a system to be used on trains as well, also with a target date somewhere around 2020.   Continue reading “Facial Recognition ID Moves From Planes And Trains To Conferences And Events”

The Bronx, NY — A family has filed a lawsuit against the NYPD after they say they were assaulted, pepper sprayed, and brutalized by cops for no reason. According to the lawsuit, 31-year-old Norma Reyes, who was pregnant at the time, lost her unborn child as a result of the abuse — part of which was captured on video.

The incident happened in May and, according to the family, it was an act of retaliation by the NYPD. In spite of Reyes, Julius Segars, the father of her unborn child, and his 16-year-old cousin Kurt Gorin, all being assaulted and arrested by police — none of them were charged with a crime.   Continue reading “Cops Pepper Spray and Beat Pregnant Woman, Causing Her Unborn Baby to Die—Lawsuit”

HAYS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — The vaccination debate unexpectedly came to the Hays CISD Facebook page on Monday following two posts about a planned “emergency response and mass vaccination drill” at Hays High School.

The bioterrorism drill, from 7:30 a.m. until noon on Tuesday, took place in the high school parking lot, involving area first responders and volunteers. Hays County says they hold this kind of drill to practice the emergency distribution of relief items, vaccinations and medication and health assessments.

“This particular scenario was based upon an anthrax release in the county,” said Hays County Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Mike Jones. “We take that as a terrorist event or bioterrorism.”

Three Cheatham County Sheriff’s deputies have been placed on administrative leave after a Pegram teen filed suit in federal court accusing them of using excessive force while he was being held at Cheatham County Jail.

Jordan Elias Norris, 19, has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court accusing the deputies of deprivation of civil rights, citing the use of excessive force and failure to protect after he was repeatedly stunned with Tasers in the jail in November 2016. He suffered more than 40 pairs of Taser burns, many of which are unaccounted for by authorities, the lawsuit states.   Continue reading “3 deputies placed on leave after lawsuit claims excessive force was used on teen inmate”

The battle over whether to enforce vaccination is not new. In fact, it’s older than the United States itself.

In early colonial America, the smallpox virus spread quickly among growing populations, killing as many as half of those who caught it. When one of the earliest forms of immunization — called “inoculation” — was introduced in the West, colonizers fought over whether it was safe.   Continue reading “A Very Short History of Vaccines in America”

Phenix City, AL – The entire dash cam footage was just released showing officer Allan Brown firing eleven shots into a vehicle — pausing only to reload — and fire another ten shots into the vehicle as the teens can be heard begging for their lives. While a snippet of the video was released in May, the entire video, obtained by the Ledger-Enquirer, is disturbing, to say the least.

Christian Redwine, 17, was killed in the shooting and passengers Hunter Tillis and Hanna Wuenschel, two other teens, suffered non-fatal gunshot wounds. It was the first volley, of the 21 total bullets, that struck Redwine in the head and heart that ended his young life, according to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences.  Continue reading ““No Please Stop!” Dash Cam Shows Cop Fire 21 Shots as Unarmed Teens Beg for Their Lives”

Matzliach also announced that the vehicle was slated for a series of tests before being introduced by the IDF Ground Forces.  Continue reading “Israel unveils upgraded ‘Namer’ APC with urban warfare turret”
