Our march towards a total police is almost complete. Six days ago Major League Baseball (MLB) announced their partnership with CLEAR.
CLEAR is the same company that brought TSA Precheck to vehicles. CLEAR’s vehicle Precheck scans both drivers and passenger biometrics so they can get quick access to sports stadiums and airports. Continue reading “MLB teams use TSA Precheck to spy on fans”
Experts at the Russian anti-virus service Doctor Web have identified 45 smartphone models with viruses installed at the production stage. This could badly affect hundreds of thousands of smartphone users, according to the firm.
“Users told us that their anti-virus program has found malicious software on their smartphones. We’ve analyzed the situation and came to the conclusion the software was in the system area where no virus could get from outside but could only be built in during the production phase,” Doctor Web director general Boris Sharov told RIA Novosti.

Shares in the US e-commerce behemoth Amazon dropped by nearly five percent, wiping over $30 billion from its market value, after reports that President Donald Trump wants to curb the firm’s growing power.
According to a report by the US news and information website Axios, Trump is planning to “go after” the world’s largest online retailer amid growing concerns that Amazon’s business is killing physical shopping malls and mom-and-pop retailers. “He’s obsessed with Amazon,” the media reported, citing one of five sources familiar with the issue.

WOODLAND, Wash. (AP) — The two women and their six adopted children traveled to festivals and events, offering free hugs and promoting unity, friends said. They raised animals and grew vegetables and last year moved onto a piece of land in rural southwest Washington, a dream of theirs.
The Hart Tribe, as they were known, also took spontaneous road trips to hike or camp, and friends believe they may have been on one of those adventures when their SUV plunged off a scenic California highway. Continue reading “Family killed in cliff plunge: free spirits or troubled?”

Just four days after the March for Our Lives protests were held across the country in the wake of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, some residents of a Michigan suburb took to the streets again to protest the annual “Build Your Own AR-15” class at a local VFW hall.
The class, run by a local gun dealer, sparked about two dozen protesters to descend on VFW hall 4073 which hosted the event in Marshall, Mich. on Tuesday. Continue reading “‘Build Your Own AR-15’ class in Michigan draws a crowd just days after protest”
Despite the mainstream media’s unending fixation on the “March for our Lives” protests, their narrative is beginning to crumble. The media is giving the wrong impression about who made up the march last weekend and one researcher has done the survey to prove it.
It’s not a big surprise the media spins everything in favor of their agenda. They have used propaganda to brainwash the masses for years and this is just one more little bit of evidence that should erode their credibility further. Only about 10% of those who marched in the “March for our Lives” were actually teenagers. Continue reading “Media Narrative Falling Apart: Only 10% Of ‘March For Our Lives’ Protesters Were Teens”
NEW YORK (Reuters) – A U.S. judge on Wednesday rejected Saudi Arabia’s bid to dismiss lawsuits claiming that it helped plan the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and should pay billions of dollars in damages to victims.
U.S. District Judge George Daniels in Manhattan said the plaintiffs’ allegations “narrowly articulate a reasonable basis” for him to assert jurisdiction over Saudi Arabia under the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), a 2016 federal law.

According to the committee, created by Israel’s Diaspora Affairs’ Ministry in 2016, there are 60 million people around the world who have an “affinity” to Judaism or Israel.

“No pictures!” growls a burley Lebanese army captain, looking me deliberately in the eyes from not three feet away across his Major’s desk, while pointing directly at my Nikon. “No pictures!” he repeats, now staring at my translator. Since we are both seated in his office deep within the heavily armed perimeter of the army’s southern command, scores of heavily armed soldiers all around us, and these being the only words of English so far spoken by him, there was no doubting his sincerity on this point.
