A United Nations human rights body has criticized the Tel Aviv regime for torturing Palestinian children, saying the Israeli military frequently uses them as human shields in its operations.

The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child said on Thursday Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank and blockaded Gaza Strip are normally not allowed to have their birth registered, and are denied access to health care, decent schooling as well as safe drinking water. 

“Palestinian children arrested by (Israeli) military and police are systematically subject to degrading treatment, and often to acts of torture, are interrogated in Hebrew, a language they did not understand, and sign confessions in Hebrew in order to be released,” it said in a report.

Photo: Swimsuits For AllThe Communist’s new class conflict: So we should make fat women better than skinny women now and we should be ashamed of ourselves for looking down on them because they are fat, just like we should be ashamed of ourselves for looking down on gays and transgendered things. More social indoctrination and reversing of values to degrade this country even more.

Earlier this year, models Nina Agdal, Lily Aldridge, and Chrissy Teigen went topless for the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. But when three plus-size models, including supermodel Robyn Lawley, did a tongue-in-cheek recreation of the photo, it wasn’t a satire – it was a way to show how women of all sizes can be sexy and confident in swimwear.   Continue reading “Plus-Size Models Reimagine the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Cover”

The past few weeks have been a time of serious re-evaluation. One might only endure a certain amount of outrage before the term loses its meaning; before the outrage becomes merely rage with no means of expression that will not move that line of demarcation between action and consequence to the fore. 

I have not revealed my philosophy concerning the coming counter-revolution in the past simply because it would classify me as one thing or another. People always draw the wrong conclusions. They leap headlong into a definition that suits their opinions and always to the detriment of actual understanding. Karl Popper, an Austrian philosopher and economics professor said a few things that strike me as true, one of them is the statement: Always remember that it is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood. The other is this: You can choose whatever name you like for the two types of government. I personally call the type of government which can be removed without violence Democracy and the other Tyranny. Continue reading “Retribution”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

Earlier today we reported that even as the western media blackout of events in Ukraine gets more black, the ongoing civil war is getting ever more uncivil, following a Ukraine fighter jet attack on the east Ukraine town of Lugansk, in which it struck not only the local administration building, but a neighboring area, resulting in numerous civilian casualties and injuries. Kiev was quick to deny that it was using its airforce on its own people, claiming instead that the explosion quite clearly caught on tape was merely locals trying to unsuccessfully shoot at the fighter jet.   Continue reading “Deadly Ukraine Fighter Jet Bombing Caught On Tape”

Russia to take necessary measures if NATO military potential comes closer to its borders - envoyVoice of Russia

NATO was and is a leading military organization in the European-Atlantic region – that is why, while developing cooperation with it in spheres of common interest, Russia paid special attention to ensuring appropriate defense levels amid any scenarios, Russia’s Permanent Representative to NATO Alexander Grushko told Interfax.

“It is known that in military affairs potentials, not intentions – which, as the latest events have shown, can change – and are taken into account. That is why if we see that new NATO arrangements regarding Russia are implemented in relevant actions of military construction and are manifested in shifting NATO’s military potential towards the ‘eastern wing,’ we will take measures necessary so that Russia’s security is not affected by this,” Grushko said in an interview ahead of a meeting of NATO defense ministers on June 3-4 and due to NATO-Russia Council meeting, first one since March 5.

The story of the Clark County, Nevada cattle-ranchers and their eviction by the federal government in order to protect the Mojave desert tortoise is a classic tale of the federal government’s insidious efforts to target those out of favor with its leftist agenda.

The tale began with the 1989 decision by the federal government to declare the Mojave desert tortoise an endangered species. At the time, there were 50 cattle-ranching families   in Nevada’s Clark County. The federal government asserted that livestock grazing destroyed desert tortoise populations, largely because cattle ate the grasses and spring growth of cacti, which the tortoises also ate. Yet in 1994, the federal government admitted in its Desert Tortoise Recovery Plan that the “extremely controversial” question of whether that assertion was true was not settled.   Continue reading “Mojave Ranchers Wiped out for Tortoise”

Scranton, PA –  Authorities in Scranton are looking to increase surveillance all over the city. Not by adding more cameras, but by adding more spying eyes looking at the cameras already in place.

Where does it end? Will we be surveilled everywhere we go by police & private companies?

Scranton City Council announced this week that it is applying for a DHS grant that would create community-wide surveillance for Scranton Police. Continue reading “Police are using DHS grant money to spy on us using private surveillance cameras”

Holder to Create 'Homegrown' Terrorism Task ForceInfowars – by MIKAEL THALEN

In a statement posted to the department’s website Monday, Holder argued that the focus on terrorism should “return” to the U.S. as opposed to remaining overseas.

“We face an escalating danger from self-radicalized individuals within our own borders,” Holder said. “As the nature of the threat we face evolves to include the possibility of individual radicalization via the Internet, it is critical that we return our focus to potential extremists here at home.”   Continue reading “Holder To Create ‘Homegrown’ Terrorism Task Force”

Captured SoliderIt doesn’t matter if the guy was justified or not in not supporting the war. By walking off the base, he caused the death of numerous American Soldiers. He knew what would happen when he left. He knew that they would never stop looking for him. He knowingly caused the death of his fellow troops. He is no different than the government that sent him there. There are other ways to go about not participating in a war.
In my opinion he should have been left there.   Continue reading “Anger explodes over treatment of Bergdahl’s release as veterans, troops call him a deserter”

Vladimir Putin, Enrico LettaI’ve said it before, Putin is the very best politician on the world stage today and here is his kill shot aimed directly at the power center in control of the USA…9/11 is nuclear fuel.  If the Russian allegations can be confirmed and substantiated with other parties, guess what?  CHAOS, as it would validate already extant suspicions that our government conspired to kill some 3,000 American citizens to drive us into the New World Order construct as envisioned by the neo cons and their Zionist puppet masters.
