A bill working its way up through Maine’s state legislature Friday is calling for words like “he” and “him” to be scrubbed out of the wording of its laws – and instead be replaced with more gender-neutral terms.

Rep. Matt Moonen, a Democrat, says he wrote the bill after reading through laws and finding references to mostly male figures in positions of authority. Continue reading “Maine legislators push to remove ‘he’ and ‘him’ from state’s laws and replaced with gender-neutral terms”

Waller County, TX — In 2015, the United States got a glimpse into the deadly nature of the police state and how a traffic stop over failure to signal can and will lead to death. Sandra Bland — who died in jail after being arrested over failure to use her blinker — became the symbol of America’s horrific problems of in-custody deaths over ridiculous arrests. Now, after nearly four years and no indictments, we are learning that Bland filmed her own arrest that fateful day and her video has been suppressed ever since.  Continue reading “‘Open Up the Case’: Sandra Bland’s Family Cites ‘Cover Up’ After Suppressed Video Released”

Albion, MI — Utterly horrifying and extremely hard to watch body camera footage has just been released of the arrest of a 13-year-old boy, whose only ‘crime’ had been acting up at home. Da’veon Cieslack, the mentally ill child had been hiding his grandmother’s keys and throwing pillows and so police showed up, handcuffed him, threw him in the back of a cruiser and proceeded to savagely beat him.  Continue reading “‘Somebody Help!’: Cops Handcuff Mentally Challenged Boy, Before Pepper Spraying & Beating Him”

The idea of “Smart Diapers” for babies dates back a few years.   As noted in a recent Vox article, Huggies is now selling them in Korea and Japan and the U.S. and Mexico may be getting them next.

More companies are interested in creating and marketing these diapers as well as other “Smart” personal care products.  Besides being expensive, Bluetooth technology emits harmful wireless radiation and there is currently no safe level of wireless radiation exposure that has been determined for children or pregnant women.  In fact, 250 scientists have signed a petition which warns against numerous devices that emit Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation, which is used in WiFi and Bluetooth.  Continue reading “Huggies Now Selling Smart Diapers With Bluetooth Sensors Even Though Radiation Exposure From Them Isn’t Safe for Babies”

Atlanta, GA — In the country with the world’s largest prison population, who sentences non-violent offenders to life in prison for a plant, one would think that kidnapping and child rape charges would likely land a person in prison for a very long time. However, one would be wrong.

Michael Wysolovski, 33, admitted to luring a 15-year-old girl to his home in 2016 where he engaged in abusive sexual torture for over a year. He kept his victim in a dog cage and let her out only to rape her. These horrific acts carried out on an innocent child, however, will go unpunished and Wysolovski will not be going to jail.  Continue reading “Man Gets NO JAIL for Kidnapping Child, Holding Her in a Dog Cage, Raping and Torturing Her”

Continuing to try to advance the US narrative that Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido is the “duly elected” president, CNN went to the trouble on Sunday afternoon of inventing an entire election to base this around.

In the CNN report, they declared “pressure is mounting on Maduro to step down, following elections in January in which voters chose opposition leader Juan Guaido over him for president.” There was no election in January.  Continue reading “CNN Falsely Claims Venezuela’s Guaido Was Elected President in January”

Tech giant Microsoft is taking a step into the world of election security, offering a new open-source software called “ElectionGuard,” which it claims is an  “end-to-end” voting verification system to “modernize” elections.

AP News reports that Microsoft is entering the world of election security with the introduction of new open-source software called “ElectionGuard.” The name of the new software seems quite close to Microsoft’s partner NewsGuard, the browser extension bundled with the Microsoft Edge mobile browser that purports to be the arbiter of reliability in media. In practice, NewsGuard has repeatedly verified hoax Russian election tampering stories as true while blacklisting multiple conservative news websites as “fake news.”  Continue reading “Microsoft Introduces ‘ElectionGuard’ Software to ‘Modernize’ Voting”

Blocking payments to individuals or groups by financial service firms impedes freedom of speech in a free society, journalist Ben Swann has told RT, following reports that MasterCard is allegedly on course to censor the far-right.

The New York-based firm is reportedly being forced by left-leaning liberal activists to set up an internal “human rights committee” that would monitor payments to “white supremacist groups and anti-Islam activists.”   Continue reading ““Dystopian Approach”: SEC Blesses MasterCard’s Idea Of Cutting Off Customers With Right-Wing Views”

China has developed a new portable laser weapon that can zap a target from nearly a kilometre away, according to researchers involved in the project.

The ZKZM-500 laser assault rifle is classified as being “non-lethal” but produces an energy beam that cannot be seen by the naked eye but can pass through windows and cause the “instant carbonisation” of human skin and tissues.  Continue reading “China’s police now have laser rifles that can ‘set a whole person on fire’ up to a kilometre away”
