A massive fire engulfed a residential high-rise building in London on Wednesday, leaving scores injured and an undetermined amount of people dead.

The London Fire Brigade dispatched at least 40 fire engines, 20 ambulance crews and more than 200 firefighters in an effort to battle the conflagration at the 24-story Grenfell Tower in West London.

A representative for the London Fire Brigade said there had been “a number of fatalities,” but declined to say how many people had died. Authorities said they were still monitoring the stability of the structure, but firefighters had managed to enter the building and had checked as many as 20 floors for remaining people.   Continue reading “Massive fire engulfs London high-rise, leaving ‘a number of fatalities’”

The Transportation Security Administration announced on Tuesday that it will begin a new program that allows a travelers’ fingerprints to replace their boarding pass and identification documents. There’s only one catch: you have to give the federal government your fingerprints.

The agency will begin assessing the new “biometric authentication technology” at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Denver International Airport this week, according to a TSA press release. The program is intended for people who have enrolled in TSA’s PreCheck program, and have voluntarily provided their fingerprints to the feds.   Continue reading “TSA is now using fingerprints as boarding passes”

In Russia, there are free speech zones, gays are persecuted, and speaking out against the state is often met with police brutality — just ask the activist band Pussy Riot. Vladimir Putin is not a hero. That being said, however, on a larger scale, Putin is not attempting to build an empire, he is not destabilizing the Middle East and installing dictators, he’s not funding ISIS, and he tends to resist moves by the globalists that are harmful to the well-being of the Russian people and their money.

As the Free Thought Project reported earlier this year, Putin has begun preparing to release Russia from the crushing grip of the international banking system completely, by moving to a nationalist model based and conducting transactions with allies in gold.

Despite the overwhelming mass of scientific literature and studies showing the harmful effects of ingesting fluoride, those who question it or advocate for the cessation of fluoridated water are labeled as kooks, conspiracy theorists, and shouted down by the mainstream. Even when the mainstream admits it — as in the case of the highly publicized Harvard Study — people remain in denial about this most horrific practice of mass medication without consent using the poisonous byproduct of fertilizer production.

However, all that appears to be changing. For the first time in US history, the courts will hear the evidence on the neurotoxicity of fluoridated water which could out an end to this practice once and for all.

Step aside Russia: there is a new global cyber villian in the house – North Korea.

On Tuesday, the U.S. government via the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) issued a rare alert on the activities of a hacking group called “Hidden Cobra,” saying the group was part of the North Korean government and that more attacks were likely. The joint alert from DHS and the FBI said that “cyber actors of the North Korean government” had targeted the media, aerospace and financial sectors, as well as critical infrastructure, in the United States and globally. Hidden Cobra has reportedly compromised a range of victims since 2009 and that some intrusions had resulted in thefts of data while others were disruptive.   Continue reading “US Accuses North Korean Government Of Cyber Attacks Since 2009”

Writ is a formal written order issued by a court in the name of the state or other competent authority commanding a party to whom it is addressed to do something or abstain from doing something.

Courts issued writs under common law to allow people to proceed with a legal action. Writs are also used to direct other courts and public authorities. Courts generally use writs to grant extraordinary relief to party, to grant the right of appeal, or to grant the sheriff the right for seizure of property. Common law writs are not in use in the U.S. civil law.  Continue reading “Writs Law and Legal Definition”

Two preliminary studies were recently conducted to test the effects of ‘inoculating’ people against believing a certain way in regards to climate change. The studies were carried out as a means of combating the existing information and disinformation that challenges the scientific consensus over the risks of climate change — using information ‘vaccines.’

A recent report from Vox, titled, Scientists are testing a “vaccine” against climate change denial, makes the case for these inoculation procedures to help people be more prone to accept facts instead of holding mistaken beliefs.   Continue reading “Scientists Now Testing ‘Vaccine’ to ‘Inoculate’ People Against Climate Change Denial”

The ability to hack the human brain like a computer might seem far-fetched to some, but it’s something we have covered extensively here at Activist Post. The possibility has even prompted a Nevada senator to seek legal restrictions on microchip implants.

The fact is that neuroscientists have been studying various methods of creating brain-computer interfaces for quite some time. Naturally, the benefits get touted, but there also has been a clear move by the military to use this as a high-tech form of direct mind control.   Continue reading “Soon People Will Line Up Like Lemmings To Get Their Brains Hacked”

Police in Georgia were searching on Tuesday for two armed inmates who escaped from prison transportation after overpowering their guards and shooting them dead, authorities said.

The corrections officers were transporting prisoners at 5:45 a.m. EDT (945 GMT) in Putnam County, about 70 miles (110 km) southeast of Atlanta, when inmates Donnie Rowe, 43, and Ricky Dubose, 24, disarmed them, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.  Continue reading “Two inmates on the run in Georgia after killing guards”

Rex Tillerson announced on Tuesday that North Korea has released Otto Warmbier, an American who was serving a 15 year jail sentence somewhere in the bowels of the hermit kingdom. The announcement came just hours after Dennis Rodman arrived in North Korea for an unexpected trip, as reported last night. Warmbier, a University of Virginia student from Cincinnati, was sentenced in March after a televised tearful public confession to trying to steal a propaganda banner.

“At the direction of the President, the Department of State has secured the release of Otto Warmbier from North Korea,” Tillerson said in a statement. “Mr. Warmbier is en route to the U.S. where he will be reunited with his family.”   Continue reading “North Korea Releases US Student Following Rodman Visit”

The nation’s smallest jails, often overlooked in discussions about America’s high incarceration rate, have been quietly driving a historic increase in the number of people behind bars, according to researchers.

These local jails, mostly serving rural communities with low crime rates, hold a disproportionate number of people who are waiting for trial and who are being held by outside agencies, such as overburdened state prison systems and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a newly released report says.   Continue reading “Rural and Small-Town Jails Are Driving America’s High Incarceration Rate, Researchers Find”

Blackwater founder and former Navy SEAL Erik Prince is recommending, as the Trump administration debates its Afghanistan War approach, that the U.S. military go back to its light footprint approach in Afghanistan.

Prince told the “Breitbart News Sunday” radio program that the approach – which would see CIA, special operators, and contractors working with Afghan forces to target terrorists – would be more effective and save the U.S. billions of dollars annually.   Continue reading “Blackwater Founder Erik Prince Recommends ‘Cheaper, Lighter’ Afghanistan Approach”

The United States House of Representatives has passed a bill to criminalize “sexting” among teenagers. But that’s not all. This ominous bill also punishes their parents by making them face a 15-year mandatory, minimum sentence.

H.R. 1761, the Protecting Against Child Exploitation Act of 2017, seeks to “criminalize the knowing consent of the visual depiction, or live transmission, of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, and for other purposes.”   Continue reading “Congress Passes Bill to Throw Parents of Sexting Teens in Jail for 15 Years”
