CULIACAN, Mexico (AP) — For 13 years Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman watched from western Mexico’s rugged mountains as authorities captured or killed the leaders of every group challenging his Sinaloa cartel’s spot at the top of global drug trafficking.

Unscathed and his legend growing, the stocky son of a peasant farmer grabbed a slot on the Forbes’ billionaires’ list and a folkloric status as the capo who grew too powerful to catch. Then, late last year, authorities started closing on the inner circle of the world’s most-wanted drug lord.   Continue reading “Noose closed on Mexican drug lord as allies fell”

New Jersey police allegedly hid dashcam video from prosecutors showing they beat an innocent man on the side of the road and made up a host of false charges to try to get him imprisoned. After the video was retrieved through an open records request, all charges were dropped and the police were instead charged with falsifying evidence and assault.

The shocking video shows out of control cops cross the median line of a road driving against traffic to crash into 30-year-old Marcus Jeter’s vehicle after he had already pulled over on the side of the road, then police swarm his car with guns drawn, break his windows, punch him in the face while he’s holding his hands up in surrender, then pull him out of his car and viciously beat him while screaming “stop resisting” and demanding he “stop going for their guns.”   Continue reading “NJ Cops Indicted After Video They Hid Reveals They Beat Innocent Man & Filed False Charges”

In the end of 2013 a man from Lovech-Bulgaria who could not afford to pay the mortgage for his house gave his last penny to demolish it right before the banksters take it away.

The land that the house was built on was not included in the mortgage so the family decided to destroy the house and give it to its new owner.

The remains of the building were loaded on a big truck and moved to the central district office of the bank in the city of Teteven, where the contract for the mortgage was signed.   Continue reading “A Man In Debt Demolishes His House And Drops It In Front Of The Bank”

The southern branch jet stream is about to become active as the ridge over the Northeast Pacific breaks down, which will bring storms back to California, and even finally heavy rainfall to Southern California, which has had extremely below normal rainfall amounts this year, making it the driest year in recorded history.

The start of the storm train will hit California all at once starting this Wednesday.  This will hit Central and Northern California harder, and Southern California less.  However this system on one computer model wants to be weaker … but judging by the current track of the system will likely be a slightly stronger one than modeled across Southern California so rainfall increasing by Wednesday into Wednesday night is extremely likely.   Continue reading “Storm Train Ready To Hit Northern and Finally Southern California Starting Mid Week As Tropical Jet Stream Becomes Active”
