WASHINGTON (AP) — The Russian military intervention to prop up Syria’s government has brought new scrutiny of the CIA’s secret support to Syrian rebels fighting Bashar Assad. But how far is the U.S. willing to go to empower its proxies to take on Vladimir Putin’s allies?

The answer seems to be: not very far. “Countering Russia’s involvement in Syria doesn’t rate nearly as high on the scale” as battling the Islamic State, which has declared a caliphate across parts of Syria and Iraq, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Tuesday.   Continue reading “Little US protection anticipated for Syrian rebels”

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Three times Dayton Leroy Rogers has been sentenced to death, and three times his sentence has been overturned.

Rogers, one of Oregon’s most prolific serial killers, returned to an Oregon City courtroom Tuesday to yet again face jurors who could send him to death row. Though that is an option, the past two governors have placed a moratorium on executions, and the state has not executed anyone since 1997.   Continue reading “Serial killer sent to death row 3 times faces 4th sentencing”

MAZAMARI, Peru (AP) — It happens about four times a day, right under the nose of Peru’s military: A small single-engine plane drops onto a dirt airstrip in the world’s No. 1 coca-growing valley, delivers a bundle of cash, picks up more than 300 kilos of cocaine and flies to Bolivia.

Roughly half of Peru’s cocaine exports have been ferried eastward on this “air bridge,” police say, since the rugged Andean nation became the world’s leading producer of the drug in 2012. Peru’s government has barely impeded the airborne drug flow. Prosecutors, narcotics police, former military officers and current and former U.S. drug agents say that while corruption is rife in Peru, the narco-flight plague is the military’s failure because it controls the remote jungle region known as the Apurimac, Ene and Mantaro river valley.   Continue reading “Peru military fails to act as narco planes fly freely”

San Bernardino National Forest — “The Story of Stuff Project, the California-based Courage Campaign Institute, and the Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit this week against the U.S. Forest Service for allowing Nestle to continue to bottle millions of gallons of water from the San Bernardino National Forest with a permit that expired 27 years ago,” the just-released press brief states.

If you’ve been following the Anti-Media’s investigation (spurred by Ian James’ articles in The Desert Sun) into Nestle’s irresponsible tapping of Arrowhead Spring — and all the questionable circumstances surrounding that, including censorship by Reddit of our exposé articles — you have some idea how exciting the announcement of this lawsuit is. It continues:   Continue reading “Forest Service Being Sued to Stop Nestle from Drawing Water in National Forest”

(CN) – The U.S. government’s criminal prosecution of corporations has dropped over the last decade despite statements from top Obama administration officials about stopping corporate fraud, a new study found.

Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, found that corporate prosecutions declined by 29 percent from 2004 to 2014. TRAC’s study was based on hundreds of thousands of U.S. Justice Department records obtained through a 17-year Freedom of Information legal fight, according to a press release.   Continue reading “Study Finds Drop in Corporate Prosecutions”

The “police use-of-force” expert who wrote one of two reports that deemed the fatal police shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in November was “reasonable” was also instrumental in clearing Colorado officers in the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old girl.

S. Lamar Sims, a senior deputy district attorney in Denver, Colorado, was hired by the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office to conduct an independent review a Cleveland, Ohio police officer’s use-of-force against Rice ahead of a grand jury trial. The inquiry will attempt to determine whether Officer Timothy Loehmann, who is white, used reasonable force in shooting the 12-year-old Rice, who was black, because he was perceived as being “a serious threat.”   Continue reading “Same expert justified both Cleveland & Denver cops’ shooting of minors”

Earlier this year, I published a post titled, Conspiracy Fact – How the Government Conducted 239 Secret Bioweapon Experiments on the American People. Here are a few excerpts:

It all began in late September of 1950, when over a few days, a Navy vessel used giant hoses to spray a fog of two kinds of bacteria, Serratia marcescens and Bacillus globigii — both believed at the time to be harmless — out into the fog, where they disappeared and spread over the city.

(See Bee)  Salon is at it again. The same Salon that gave us “Meet pedophiles that mean well”, has now supplied a platform for an admitted pervert, “I’m a pedophile but not a monster”.

It’s a “please don’t hate on me”piece because he can’t help his “sexual orientation” and “sexuality”. He and his fellow “Virtuous Pedophiles” would never act on their proclivities, no they use their “pedo powers” for good. ( You can’t make this stuff up !) Readers you may use your imagination for what a pedo power might be. As I read his “sad “tale of physical deformity, feelings of inadequacy, alienation and insecurity I remembered a truly sad story on my own.   Continue reading “Salon Provides Platform For Pedophilia In Latest Stunt”

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jurors ordered a Wisconsin gun store to pay nearly $6 million on Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by two Milwaukee police officers who were shot and seriously wounded by a gun purchased at the store.

The ruling came in a negligence lawsuit filed by the officers against Badger Guns, a shop in suburban Milwaukee that authorities have linked to hundreds of firearms found at crime scenes. The lawsuit said the shop ignored several warning signs that the gun used to shoot the officers was being sold to a so-called straw buyer who was illegally purchasing the weapon for someone else.   Continue reading “Gun shop ordered to pay millions to injured police officers”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders clashed on U.S. involvement in the Middle East, gun control and economic policy as they opened the first Democratic debate Tuesday, outlining competing visions for a party seeking to keep the White House for a third straight term.

Clinton was an aggressor from the start, an unexpected shift for a candidate who has barely mentioned her Democratic rivals since launching her campaign six months ago. Until now, Clinton and Sanders — who has emerged as her toughest competition — have circled each other cautiously and avoided personal attacks.   Continue reading “Clinton, Sanders clash on guns, economy, foreign policy”

The FDA has granted fast track approval for Swiss based Novartis’s flu shot that contains squalene as an adjuvant  to boost what they consider an immune response.

Fast track approval is normally reserved for crucial emergencies during vaccine shortages. You might be aware that there is no shortage of flu vaccines and most hyped flu epidemics are bogus.
