There is growing evidence that the Saudi Arabian-led military coalition is failing to take precautions to prevent civilian deaths amid ongoing airstrikes on sites around Yemen, Amnesty International said, as it confirmed that at least six civilians, including four children, were among 14 people who burned to death in further strikes early this morning.
The attacks, carried out at around 2 AM in Ibb governorate, were apparently targeting a Huthi checkpoint as well as fuel supplies along the road between Yareem and Dhammar. The dead included four children and two women, as well as eight men, but it is unknown if any of those were fighters. At least 31 others were hospitalized with burns and shrapnel wounds.

Counter Current News – by Reagan Ali
He was caught red handed, having killed, “prepared” and eaten nearly all of a victim who he claims was “willing.” A 50-minute long video, recorded while listening to pop music, clearly documents the cannibal ex-police officer Detlef Guenzel slicing Polish-born Wojciech Stempniewicz into small pieces after having strangled him to death.
Now, the former cop is facing only eight years in prison for cannibalizing a man who he met on an internet site in Germany. Continue reading “Cannibal Cop Smiles In Court Room As He Receives Only Eight Years In Prison”
People across the world have become used to turning to Google and Yahoo to look up information and advice on a whole host of topics, but a new study shows that search engines are actually inflating people’s perception of their own knowledge.
In a study called “Searching for Explanations: How the Internet Inflates Estimates of Internal Knowledge,” researchers conducted nine different experiments that suggested those who learn something online feel they are smarter than those who learn it through books or via a teacher. Continue reading “Using Google makes people overestimate their own intelligence, study says”

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — More than three decades ago, a three-year-old South Korean boy and his sister flew to the U.S. to become the adopted children of American citizens, but their life together didn’t last long.
They were abandoned, sent into foster care and separated even though he was dependent upon her. A family adopted the girl, and got her citizenship. The boy, named Adam Crapser, wasn’t as fortunate: The parents he had were abusive, and never sought the green card or citizenship for him that they should have.

Today in a pre-trial hearing, an Ohio judge casually agreed with a motion filed by a prosecutor asking to ban a defendant from bringing up the United States Constitution or the constitutionality of the law under which he is charged with a crime.
Judge Catherine Barber (or Kathryn Barber), a retired judge filling in for theXenia Municipal Judge Michael Murraystated “there will be no mentioning of the Constitution” and then laughed when the defendant claimed that uttering words on a public sidewalk constitutes free speech. (The audio of the hearing can be found here: http://bambuser.com/v/5372976). This was in response to a suggestion from the prosecutor that bringing up the constitution and civil rights “will confuse the jury.” Continue reading “Ohio Judge: There Will Be No Mentioning Of The Constitution Here”

Outpost of Freedom – by Gary Hunt
Yesterday, when Massey arrived at the courthouse, there were about twenty agents in battle gear and a number of DHS Suburbans parked in front of the courthouse. After going in to the courthouse, he had to visit the Pre-Trial Services. There, he was approached by two agents who wanted to see his sunglasses. They inspected them, thoroughly, and then returned them to Massey. I suppose this is the future — what we can expect because of Google-Glasses. However, finding that they were not dangerous, they were returned to their owner. Continue reading “Camp Lone Star – Act One: The Government Charade”
