WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. National Security Agency collected 534 million records of phone calls and text messages of Americans last year, more than triple gathered in 2016, a U.S. intelligence agency report released on Friday said.
The sharp increase from 151 million occurred during the second full year of a new surveillance system established at the spy agency after U.S. lawmakers passed a law in 2015 that sought to limit its ability to collect such records in bulk.

The victim, identified by local media as Prabhu Bhatara, was driving a group of people home from a wedding in an SUV when he stopped to relieve himself in a forest area in the eastern Indian state of Odisha on Wednesday evening, the Hindustan Times reported.

Roman Catholic parishes in Texas are providing church-issued identification cards to illegal immigrants who, because of their status, are not eligible for ID issued by the state. Police in Dallas, as well as nearby Carrollton and Farmers Branch have been officially given discretion to accept the church-issued cards as valid identification.
As recommended by the Diocese of Dallas, the ID cards include the applicant’s photograph, date of birth, address, church logo and church membership number. On a recent weekend, 300 persons received cards at San Juan Diego parish in Dallas. Continue reading “Texas: Police accept ID cards issued by Catholic Church to illegal immigrants”
With Germany unsure about how to mark 200 years since Karl Marx was born, a giant bronze statue of the philosopher given by China to the town of his birth is adding to the unease.
The small town of Trier near Luxembourg in western Germany eventually decided to accept the 4.5m (15ft) statue created by China’s most famous sculptor – but only after years of wrangling over whether taking it would appear to condone rights abuses in China. Continue reading “Karl Marx statue from China adds to German angst”
The Illinois Senate has approved a bill that would require public schools to teach LGBT history.
The measure passed Wednesday on a 34-18 vote, according to The Associated Press.

After Rudy Giuliani called Jared Kushner “disposable” in his off-the-rails interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity earlier this week, the president’s son-in-law watched the clip himself to see what all the fuss was about.
Kushner — newly determined to stay in his lane and not meddle in the president’s legal strategy — decided to downplay a comment that raised eyebrows among other White House officials, instead mitigating potential tension with Giuliani by laughing it off. Continue reading “Giuliani falls back in line”

You may remember in February, a person referred to as a “biohacker” injected himself with his own small biotech company’s experimental herpes vaccine on a stage at a public event.
He very quickly spiraled into erratic behavior, as the mainstream media even admitted.
At the age of 28, Aaron Traywick, the young CEO of Ascendance Biomedical was found dead on Sunday in Washington, D.C. Continue reading “CEO Who Injected Himself With Experimental Herpes Vaccine Found Dead”
Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist
On May 4, 1970, members of the Ohio National Guard descended on the campus of Kent State University in Ohio to quash and antiwar protest. During the protest, soldiers opened fire on an unarmed group of students—firing 67 rounds in 13 seconds—killing four and injuring nine others. To this date, not a single person has been held accountable and the government still refuses to admit that it participated in the murder of its own citizens.
As the Free Thought Project reported in 2016, Kent State is the one school shooting that the US government wants you to forget. Continue reading “48 Years Ago Today, US Troops Massacred Students in Ohio, Covered It Up and Got Away With It”
China has significantly boosted oil imports from Russia, while the latter has been selling less crude to Europe. An analyst told RT that Beijing has become a more preferable partner in the oil trade for Moscow.
RT’s source in Russia’s largest oil exporter Transneft has said that since January 1, the country is pumping more oil to China, while exports to Europe have plunged. Earlier, Bloomberg reported that Russia will have shipped 19 percent less oil through its ports on the Baltic and Black Seas in the first five months of 2018, and sold 43 percent more oil to China through March.

In response to a High Court petition, Israeli authorities said the country’s government regards recent demonstrations by Palestinians along the Gaza fence line as a “state of war” and that the state of Israel opposes the application of human rights law during an armed conflict.
Israeli state attorneys on Sunday defended the army’s use of live ammunition during clashes with Palestinian protesters along the Gaza Strip’s eastern fence.

Gun Owners of America – by Michael Hammon
Illegal Bump Stock Regs to go beyond Johnson, Clinton, and Obama in Anti-Gun Reach!
When campaigning, Donald Trump said he would respect and honor the Second Amendment.
Instead, he continues to push ahead on bump stock regulations which would turn 500,000 gun owners into felons. And the regulations would arguably do the same for the millions of Americans who own semi-automatic rifles. Continue reading “Trump’s Bump Stock Regulations Can Turn 500,000 Gun Owners into Felons”
