WEB Notes: Maybe they can whip out that police force Obama came up with. This sounds a lot like a type of Martial Law. The city is probably filled with “Gun Free Zones” and I am sure there are plenty of laws to make the law abiding citizen a criminal. When you void common sense you allow darkness to creep in. We just may get a report from a reader on this one…

WEB Notes: This is slight of hand. Months ago we had posts how the US was trying to setup “safe zones” in Syria. If Russia leads that then all is well, rather than the US which would cause more commotion on the world’s stage. The point is they have a deal with Syria no less to setup safe zones. These are big wins for the globalists.

Russia, Iran and Turkey on Thursday signed an agreement on setting up four safe zones in Syria that the United Nations described as a promising step to wind down the brutal six-year war.  Continue reading “Russia, Turkey, Iran Sign Deal To Set Up Syria Safe Zones”

Late last week, President Donald Trump told CBS News that domestic surveillance of American citizens should the “No. 1” topic of inquiry until we can find out “what the hell is going on” with it.

That section permits the NSA to capture communications between foreigners and Americans without a warrant from any court, even though the NSA has its own secret court that has granted well over 99 percent of applications for spying brought to it.  Continue reading “More Spying, More Lying”

Reno, NV — Surveillance footage, released to the Reno Gazette-Journal through a public records request, shows the terrifying final moments of 35-year-old Justin Thompson, a man in the midst of a mental breakdown. For 30 minutes, nearly a dozen Washoe County Sheriff’s deputies took turns kicking, tasering, insulting, and crushing the wind from Thompson — who noted multiple times that he could not breathe through the spit mask over his head.

The tragic incident began to unfold on August 3, 2016, when Thompson was arrested. His family and girlfriend reported that Thompson is bipolar and had been off his medication for some time.
