NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City nanny who killed two small children in her care is facing life in prison. Yoselyn Ortega (YOH’-sih-lihn ohr-TAY’-guh) is set to be sentenced Monday following her conviction of murder last month in the 2012 deaths of Lucia and Leo Krim.

The nanny’s lawyer had argued that Ortega was mentally ill and couldn’t be held responsible for the children’s deaths. Lucia was 6. Leo was 2. Prosecutors say Ortega knew what she was doing and understood “every stab, every slash” as she slaughtered the children.   Continue reading “Nanny to be sentenced in killing of 2 children”

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli fire killed at least 18 Palestinians during mass protests along the Gaza border on Monday, in a violent burst of bloodshed that cast a cloud over Israel’s festive inauguration of the new U.S. Embassy in contested Jerusalem.

It was the deadliest single day of protests since the Palestinians began staging weekly border demonstrations on March 30 in an attempt to break an Israeli-Egyptian blockade. Protesters set tires on fire, sending thick plumes of black smoke into the air, while the Israeli military accused protesters of trying to break through the border fence and plant a bomb, and said troops had come under fire.   Continue reading “Deadly Gaza protests cloud US Embassy opening in Jerusalem”

Most patriots have by now figured out that the NWO (New World Order) elitists, the banksters who control the Deep State, and, indeed, most of the Western nations, are sadistic sociopaths who do evil for the sake of evil. But gradually it is becoming apparent that, not satisfied with dumbing us down in the indoc centers formerly known as “schools,” indoctrinating us, morally degrading us, impoverishing and enslaving us, they want to kill every last one of us.    Continue reading “All That Stands Between Humanity And The Ultimate Catastrophe Is A Thin Red Line Of Well-Armed American Patriots”

(CD) — Further demonstrating the willingness of the U.S. to reward and perpetuate the war crimes of its allies, the Trump administration is reportedly moving ahead with a multi-billion-dollar sale of so-called “smart bombs” to Saudi Arabia just weeks after the U.S.-backed Saudi-led coalition bombed a wedding in Yemen, killing more than 20 people. 

First reported by The Intercept‘s Alex Emmons on Friday, the precise details of the deal—which also includes weapons sales to the United Arab Emirates—are not entirely unclear as it is in the preliminary stages, “but it is said to include tens of thousands of precision-guided munitions from Raytheon,” the company that helped produce weaponry used in the deadly wedding airstrike last month.   Continue reading “As Civilian Deaths in Yemen Mount, US to Sell Saudi Arabia Billions More in Bombs”

In an age where most politicians have very little support for their campaigns and causes, they have been known to resort to desperate measures to improve their public image. While this practice is disregarded by some as a “conspiracy theory,” many politicians have been caught hiring actors to fill the crowds of their campaign speeches—corporations too.

In fact, just this week in Ontario, Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford’s campaign was forced to admit that they hired actors for at least one of their events. Ford’s staff acted like this was not authorized by them, but instead blamed a local candidate for arranging their actors. Campaign officials for Toronto Centre Tory candidate Meredith Cartwright reportedly hired the actors to support Ford at a rally in Dundas Square.   Continue reading “Conspiracy Theory?

Two women rescued a grizzly bear cub near Grande Cache this week after watching it for five days to see if its mother would return for it. They went down to the area on Wednesday to check on the bear and found it emaciated, weak and starving.   Continue reading “Alberta Fish and Wildlife officers kill grizzly bear cub near Grande Cache”
