Houston, TX — The murder of an innocent Houston couple made national headlines earlier this year as police took to smearing their names and threatening those who didn’t believe their official narrative. As the months passed, we learned that the Houston police department’s raid on the home of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas was based on lies and they were murdered for no reason. In May, the case had reached a turning point after the family hired a forensics expert to examine the home and found that there is no evidence the officers encountered gunfire. And, moments ago, the cop who lied to attain the warrant for the raid—was charged with murder in the first degree.  Continue reading “Houston Cop Who Lied About Raid that Killed Innocent Couple—Charged with Murder”

The race for dominance in the data highways of the future is at the forefront of the strategic competition between the United States and China. The two powers compete for other countries’ support and infrastructure, seeking to obtain technological, economic, and security advantages. Banning Chinese companies from fifth generation infrastructure (5G) projects is the most explicit demand the United States administration has made of Israel, including clear linkage to American security assistance and intelligence cooperation. Thus, it is clear that Israel has but to comply with US demands on this issue, while at the same time continuing to develop its relations with China in fields where trade and investment activities do not entail serious risks to its own national security or to its vital strategic alliance with the US.

In late June 2019, Fox News Channel published a video material, taken in Al-Hol refugee camp in northwestern Syria. On the footage, we can see a group of children under five chanting ISIS slogans. “We will stand on the heads of the apostates and crush them one by one. By the will of Allah, Islamic State caliphate remains,” the kids screamed. This is not the first evidence of radical ideology spread in the camp. Earlier, another video from Al-Hol emerged. It shows the ISIS terrorist flag hoisted in the field, and women urging other refugees to return to the lands of terrorists.  Continue reading “Illegal Activity of Western Special Services in Syria”

If you’ve seen the film minority report – or read the Philip K Dick short story it’s based on, you’re familiar with the idea of “precrime.” It’s a dystopian vision of a predictive policing system where government detains people before they commit a given crime.

Is that what the TAPS Act is going to do in Congress? Plus predictive policing with Palantir and LASER in Los Angeles.  Continue reading “The TAPS Act, Predictive Policing, and a PreCrime Dystopian Nightmare?”

As she cleans up the counter where the teenagers at her church’s Vacation Bible School ate their cookies and yoghurt, Luba Yanko complains about the state of the country. President Donald Trump is trying to act on Christian values, she believes. But from what she reads online, it seems that a certain group keeps getting in the way.

Trump, she says, “is surrounded by a Zionist environment with completely different values from Christians. It’s kabbalist. It’s Talmudic values. Not the word of God.”  Continue reading “Antisemitic beliefs spreading among evangelical Christians in America”
