After a successful campaign to have the Iran nuclear deal torn up, Israel has now taken up the role of enforcer. With US President Donald Trump set to announce second rounds of sanctions in November, America and Israel have set up a joint team that will enforce economic sanctions against Iran in the high-tech sector.

Israel’s Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon and United States Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin yesterday announced the establishment of the joint team. The two are reported to have met in Washington for the fourth time in their tenures. According to the Israeli Haaretz, the meeting was also attended by the Director General of the Ministry of Finance, Shai Babad, and the Israeli economic attaché in the US Eran Nitzan.   Continue reading “Israel, US set up joint team to enforce Iran sanctions”

Ogden City, UT — For years, some of the most read stories we produce involve instances when police officers kill family pets, getting away with the killings by way of their qualified immunity. But the following story is one of the worst we’ve ever posted. An Ogden City Utah police officer actually shot a family dog while the pet was secured on the owners leash.   Continue reading “Family Outraged After Cop Shoots Their Dog—Who Was on a LEASH”

DENVER, Colo. (Sept. 1, 2018) – Today, a new Colorado law went into effect expanding asset forfeiture reporting requirements instituted last year. 

Rep. Leslie Herod (D-Denver) sponsored House Bill 1020 (HB1020) on Jan. 10. The legislation expands asset forfeiture reporting requirements by redefining the agencies required to submit reports.   Continue reading “Now in Effect: Colorado Law Expands Asset Forfeiture Reforms”

BEIRUT – Blasts heard at the Mezzeh airbase near Damascus were caused by missile strikes targeting the base and by Syrian air defense systems responding, an official in the regional alliance supporting Damascus said on Sunday.

A war monitor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the explosions resulted from Israeli air strikes, and that they caused deaths and injuries.   Continue reading “Syria accuses Israel of missile strikes on military base in Damascus”

“Since the days of Karl Marx and his ‘workers of the world unite’ shtick, the ‘anti-capitalist’ Reds have always manipulated the passions of the working man as a means to destabilize the system and redirect power and wealth towards a super-centralized state. That state, of course, is then financed and controlled by the very same big banker ‘capitalists’ that secretly control the ‘anti-capitalist’ Reds! The big joke on Joe Hardhat, who may very well have legitimate grievances and honest concerns about his work conditions, is that neither the Red union bosses nor their secret capitalist bosses give a rat’s ass about him. Once the national economy is consolidated into the hands of the New World Order big money boys, ‘the working man’- who had so faithfully and often violently fought for ‘change’ – gets tossed aside like a used up lemon. Whatever good that his union may have done for him and his family was only a necessary side-effect, never the main objective.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — More than two dozen MS-13 gang members and affiliates were arrested and charged following a monthslong murder and drug trafficking investigation centered on a rural California farm city that the gang turned into a base for its operations, U.S. and state prosecutors said Friday.

MS-13 took advantage of limited resources in the city of Mendota and used it and other areas of Fresno County to “conduct their crimes, to hide out from crimes that they committed in other jurisdictions and to prepare to commit crimes in states as far away as New York,” Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp said at a news conference in Fresno with state and federal officials.   Continue reading “MS-13 gang used California farm town as a base for crime”

GUNSHOTS RING OUT as the troops advance down a dirt road. One of them, in full combat gear — helmet, camouflage uniform, automatic weapon — clowns for the camera and sticks out his tongue. A sergeant next to him says, in French, “This is a kamikaze mission!”

It quickly becomes clear exactly what type of mission this actually is. It’s of the same type that soldiers carried out at El Mozote, El Salvador, in 1981, at My Lai, South Vietnam, in 1968, and at Oradour-sur-Glane, France, in 1944. It is a massacre. And it is filmed. This particular mass killing takes place in Cameroon, a key U.S. ally and staging ground for America’s drone operations in Africa. While the number of victims is likely smaller than other notorious mass killings, it’s the second atrocity video involving Cameroon’s armed forces to be made public this summer.   Continue reading “New Video Shows More Atrocities By Cameroon, A Key U.S. Ally In Drone Warfare”
