TULSA, OKLA. — The Tulsa County sheriff placed the agency’s spokesman on administrative leave Monday following last month’s fatal shooting of a restrained man by a volunteer deputy.
Sheriff Stanley Glanz announced in a statement that Maj. Shannon Clark is on administrative leave, with pay, pending a performance evaluation. The move follows the April 2 shooting of Eric Harris by reserve deputy Robert Bates.
Glanz didn’t say why Clark was put on leave and didn’t respond to a request for comment by The Associated Press. Glanz said in the statement that Terry Simonson, the intergovernmental affairs and contract administrator for the agency, would be handling public information. Calls to Simonson seeking comment were not returned. Continue reading “Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman placed on leave”

A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The finding could help explain where Earth’s seas came from.
The water is hidden inside a blue rock called ringwoodite that lies 700 kilometres underground in the mantle, the layer of hot rock between Earth’s surface and its core.
The huge size of the reservoir throws new light on the origin of Earth’s water. Some geologists think water arrived in comets as they struck the planet, but the new discovery supports an alternative idea that the oceans gradually oozed out of the interior of the early Earth.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Wal-Mart is facing questions tonight after CBS13 learns the company draws its bottled water from a Sacramento water district during California’s drought.
According to the label, the water comes from the Sacramento Municipal Water Supply. This comes on the heels of Starbucks opting to move sourcing and production of its Ethos bottled water from California to Pennsylvania.

After having initiated her well-planned Maidan Square uprising in Kiev in early 2014, triggering Europe’s worst conflict in Ukraine since the Balkan Wars of the 1990s, Victoria Nuland, the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, recently attempted a Kiev-style putsch in Macedonia aimed at overthrowing that nation’s democratically-elected government of Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski. It is a hallmark of neoconservatives like Nuland and her arch-neoconservative husband, the Brookings Institution’s Robert Kagan, to disregard democratic elections if their candidates fail to win election. Although Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and Macedonian Prime Minister Gruevski were elected in free and fair elections, by all international metrics and norms, their governments were not as pro-NATO and pro-U.S. enough for the liking of Nuland and the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) cabalists that surround her husband.

What better way to advertise military culture—and recruit teenagers—than by staging heartfelt salutes to “hometown heroes” at professional football games in front of thousands of fans?
That, apparently, is what Department of Defense officials thought when they shelled out at least $5.4 million of U.S. taxpayer’ money to 14 NFL teams between 2011 and 2014—to pay them to promote the military on and off the field.

In a recent Max Keiser segment the financial analyst discusses with Stacy Herbert the superfluous irrelevancy of the majority of mainstream media.
Segment number 748 of the Keiser Report proposes the potential of so-called alternative media, as Kaiser and Herbert point out: “far superior to the corrupted, boot-licking, warmongering mainstream media, that is now dominated by an elite cadre. Keiser goes on to discuss the “elitist” alternate reality which attempts to rationalize the world for its needs. Continue reading “Max Keiser On the “Bootlicking” Mainstream”

One year ago, we reported that while the west was scrambling to assure the world that it wasn’t collapsing courtesy of record central bank debt monetization even as number of people not in the US labor force steadily approaches 100 million, while peripheral Europe is saddled with 25% unemployment and 50%+ youth unemployment (but… but.. the stock markets are at all time highs), China was busy colonizing a new continent not only infrastructurally…..

Almost exactly three months ago, with much pomp and circumstance, US attorney general Eric Holder, whose department of “justice” made headlines two years ago for refusing to bring criminal cases against big banks due to fears of systemic consequences if any TBTF bank is brought to justice thus spawning the term Too Big To Prosecute, gave his lackeys involved in residential mortgage-backed securities exactly 90 days in which to “develop cases against individuals” for their roles in the financial crisis.

LONDON — Guess who’s back.
Nigel Farage, who resigned as head of the UKIP party on Friday, is back in the top job after his resignation was rejected by the party.
Farage made the original announcement after losing out on the South Thanet seat to the Conservatives’ Craig Mackinlay. He’d already promised to stand down within 10 minutes if he lost, and while his official resignation took a few minutes longer, it sounded pretty final.
