Orlando, FL — In May of 2019, Officer Peter Meier with the Orlando Police Department made the ridiculous and outright dangerous decision to shoot a teenager with his taser while he rode his bicycle. The Orlando Police admitted Meier’s act was dangerous and violated department police, but the only ‘discipline’ he received was a written reprimand.

Orlando policy explicitly prohibits cops from tasering people on bicycles “except in cases of aggressive resistance.” No aggressive resistance existed on that afternoon on May 5, yet Meier tasered the teen and then lied that it did.  Continue reading “Insane Cop Tasers Teen On a Bicycle Over Popping a Wheelie”

Raleigh, NC — A North Carolina judge released a series of disturbing videos last year showing the horrifying attack on a man who had done nothing but walk down the road. Kyron Dwain Hinton, 29, had harmed no one and committed no crime when he was surrounded by police, mauled by a K9, pistol whipped, kicked, punched, and stomped on—for nearly five minutes. Now, one of the key players in that attack has pleaded guilty and will likely get off with a wrist slap.  Continue reading “Cops Sic K9 on Innocent Man, Beat Him with Flashlights, Lie to Cover It Up, Get Off With Wrist Slap”

Scientists in the US claim to have created zombie robots from reanimated frog cells, giving rise to a living organism never seen or created before which can perform important tasks while healing itself.

These millimeter-wide “xenobots” were designed on a supercomputer using an evolutionary algorithm to create thousands of candidate designs. The winning designs can propel themselves toward a target and deliver a payload, and can also heal themselves when torn apart.  Continue reading “‘Neither robot nor animal’: Scientists develop the ‘Xenobots,’ 1st robots constructed completely from LIVING CELLS”

The show, broadcast on NBC, has been under fire online after Friday night’s program initially identified a famous church in the West Bank city of Bethlehem as being in Israel and ruling the answer “Palestine” wrong.  Continue reading “‘Jeopardy’ causes online furor over location of Church of Nativity”

(CBS4) – For the first time, a judge has denied a request to take away a man’s guns under Colorado’s new red flag law. A Limon woman claimed a man who she had a relationship with threatened her with a gun and filed the request.

Since the law took effect, the red flag law has had many gun owners seeing red. At least four requests have been filed since the first of 2020; CBS4 is aware of them being filed in Denver, in Larimer County and this one — in Lincoln County.  Continue reading “For First Time, A Colorado Judge Denies Confiscation Request Under Red Flag Law”

The protests in Iran that followed Tehran’s admission of its role in the downing of the Ukrainian passenger jet were met with an outpouring of support from Washington. But is it about Iranians, or regime change?

US officials and establishment figures certainly spared no effort as they went out of their way to show how much they supposedly admire the ‘courage’ of Iranians who took to the streets to vent their anger at the fact that a Ukrainian passenger jet, with many Iranians on board, was mistakenly shot down by Iran’s military – something Tehran admitted of its own volition before the results of the crash investigation were made public.

In case after infuriating case, the Free Thought Project has reported on instances of horrifying rights violations all stemming from a police officer claiming to smell a plant. We have seen both women and men sodomized and raped — often times in public — as cops search for this smell. We have seen entire families held hostage, women and children beaten up, rampant sexual assault, and all of it stemming from a plant smell. Now, police are arming themselves with a “smell amplifier” to go after those who’d dare grow or partake in a plant—in a state where recreational marijuana is legal.

As Australia’s bushfire crisis continues to impact wildlife, aircraft have been deployed to feed thousands of starving wild animals who have been stranded by the blazes.

The government of the hard-hit state of New South Wales (NSW) has begun a campaign of airdrops across scorched regions, delivering thousands of pounds of root veggies —like carrots and sweet potatoes —from choppers flying above in a bid to sate the appetites of hungry colonies of brush-trailed rock wallabies, reports Daily Mail.  Continue reading “Australia is Dropping Vegetables From Choppers to Feed Wildlife Starved by Fires”

In a very thorough and revealing analysis of statistical industry payment data, ProPublica disclosed that more than 2,500 physicians have received at least half a million dollars apiece from drugmakers and medical device companies in the past five years alone, while more than 700 of those doctors received at least $1 million, and that doesn’t include money for research or royalties from inventions.  Continue reading “700 + American Doctors Given Over $1M Each From Pharma To Push Drugs & Medical Devices”
