On March 14, 2019, New Zealand sustained its deadliest mass shootings in modern history when a gunman, 28-year-old Brenton Tarrant, killed 50 people and injured another 50 at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The media immediately identified Tarrant as that most noxious of all monsters — “an alt-right affiliated white supremacist”.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a controversial set of bills that make it a crime to “disrespect” the state and spread “fake news” online, Russian media reported on Monday.
The bills amending existing information laws overwhelmingly passed both chambers of Russian parliament in less than two months. Observers and some lawmakers have criticized the legislation for its vague language and potential to stifle free speech. Continue reading “Putin Signs ‘Fake News,’ ‘Internet Insults’ Bills Into Law”

This year’s report, entitled Leaving No One Behind, was unveiled Tuesday at an ongoing session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

Veterans For Peace (VFP) calls on all members of the U.S. military to refuse illegal orders to intervene in Venezuela. Furthermore, VFP urges all U.S. military leaders to inform the president that they will order their units to stand down from preparations to invade Venezuela.
President Donald Trump has called on Venezuelan soldiers to disobey orders and join coup perpetrators headed by U.S.-backed opposition leader, Juan Guaidó.

You will lose everything.” Continue reading “Veterans Call on U.S. Troops to Resist Illegal Orders to Invade Venezuela in Response to Trump”

WASHINGTON – Undocumented immigrants who use false Social Security numbers to get jobs would be easier to prosecute under a case the Supreme Court agreed to hear Monday.

Continue reading “Supreme Court to decide if states can prosecute undocumented immigrants for identity theft”

The insanity of the tech giants’ censorship continues to expand by the day. With Twitter having permanently banned the Health Ranger account several weeks ago (@HealthRanger) after I criticized Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for his involvement in a shady crypto scheme, Facebook has now decided to suspend Natural News for seven days for posting the educational fluoride infographic you see below.
Entitled, “Fluoride… Did You Know?” the educational infographic presents fact-based historical information about fluoride, such as the fact that Crest toothpaste introduced fluoride into its products in 1955. Overall, it’s a rather ho-hum infographic and doesn’t even stand out as sensational in any way at all. Continue reading “Facebook just suspended Natural News for 7 days for posting this rather ho-hum fluoride infographic”

A rooster in Redwood City (the Bay Area of California) has tested positive for Newcastle disease. The virus is deadly and known to kill chickens by the flock, disrupting the food supply which is already perched precariously in this volatile economy.
This outbreak is so worrisome that the San Mateo County Fair canceled its upcoming poultry show out of an abundance of caution. Usually, about 250 people show chickens at the June event and it’s popular with children who participate in 4-H activities.

Ed. note: As we have been outlining in several posts at AD, US economic policy planners are not going to stop until they get what they want in Venezuela with President Maduro removed from office. Once Brazil is accepted into NATO like there is now talk on, and there is even the slightest provocation by Venezuela, that will allow Brazil to bring its powerful military down on Venezuela. Outside of the US military, Brazil has the second largest military in the hemisphere. The US-backed Random Guy™ Juan has failed and so this new strategy using Brazil for military intervention has been slowly rolled out. The more aggression against Venezuela increases, the more Venezuela will be forced to turn to Russia and China for economic survival.”The fight is on” and its in the US hemisphere.
