So do you believe the official narratives? That Russia is at some perpetual war with USA and that shifting alliances are real and that the wars are real?
Why do you think police get militarized and there is so much research into controlling peoples minds but so little curing common diseases?
Well of course those ppm of toxins that destroy your body are for your safety. Nevermind that these toxins could be removed to 0ppb in your food and water but are not.
It isn't even about profit. Why would it be? Who creates the money and prints the debt? Anyway. Here is some news about Oceania.
US military officials are loudly bragging about their latest initiative to reassure Europe, a program that was called, unlikely enough, the European Reeassurance Initiative (ERI), and which to this point has involved moving a lot of sand around, and building some roads in rural parts of several Baltic states.
ERI is nominally the latest in a long line of programs the Obama Administration has announced to “combat Russian aggression,” and which are meant to build up nations along the Russian frontier to support massive US military deployments to spite Russia.
The plans are often ill-conceived, as the US idea to deploy huge amounts of tanks into several of these countries ran into problems because the tanks are stored in swampy areas where the mud makes it virtually impossible to drive a tank, and NATO has taken to having to “ship” those tanks back and forth to their various anti-Russia photo ops.
In this regard, ERI is trying to be the solution for the military-created problem, hauling thousands of tonnes of sand into those swampy areas to build “tank trails” that they can drive the tanks through, along with roads to support the infrastructure for the NATO operations in the area.
The army sees it as a win-win, as the pricey construction involves the use of contractors, and is subsequently popular with the host countries, and also lets the army deploy people to not-war-zones, which is “good for morale.”
That the whole program is make-work to “reassure” European nations about the US commitment to take part in some unlikely, disastrous future war with Russia is just gravy for them, as the Pentagon sees talk of a new Cold War as a great excuse to push for bigger budgets, and if they can’t physically position forces in the Baltic swamps for this scheme, they’ll build up the swamps so they can.
The Marine Corps' mission in Eastern Europe is rapidly evolving in the face of Russian saber-rattling, according to the outgoing commander of the Romania-based Black Sea Rotational Force.

>Meanwhile, in light of the current economic recession, as well as the sharp influx in refugees from Africa and the Middle East, the EU's core principles – free trade and the free movement of peoples – have come under heavy criticism from the European Union member states, and even from France, one of the EU's founding members.

India - Chemical and Biological Weapons Must Be BANNED
Use of chemical weapons must be condemned
India has called on the international community to be vigilant on non-state actors and terrorist groups seeking and using chemical weapons and said the use of such weapons anywhere and by anyone must be condemned.
"The use of chemical weapons anywhere and by anyone must be condemned and the international norm against the use of chemical weapons must not be breached," visiting Member of Parliament Abhishek Banerjee said at a debate on weapons of mass destruction at the First Committee of the General Assembly here on Thursday.
He said India contributed to international efforts under the UN and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) for the destruction of Syria's declared chemical weapon stockpiles.
"The international community should continue to be vigilant on non-state actors and terrorist groups seeking or using chemical weapons," he added.
Given that disarmament is a primary goal of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), the remaining possessor States should fulfil their obligations within the shortest possible time.
India completed the destruction of its chemical weapon stockpiles in 2009 within the stipulated time frame under the CWC.
The provisions of the Convention should be implemented in a manner that does not hinder legitimate activities, especially in countries like India with a large and growing chemical industry, he said adding that universality is fundamental to the success of the Convention.
He voiced India's commitment to improving the effectiveness of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) and strengthening its implementation and its universalising.
"We believe this is necessary in view of the new challenges to international peace and security emanating from proliferation trends, including the threat posed by terrorists or other non-state actors seeking access to biological agents or toxins for terrorist purposes," he said.
He also supported a robust consultation process among all States Parties leading to the Eighth Review Conference next year, so as to contribute to its success through preparations on substantive and procedural issues.
He reiterated India's commitment to maintaining the highest international standards with reference to control of nuclear, chemical, biological and toxin weapons and their means of delivery.
"In this regard, India has made considerable progress in its engagement with the relevant multilateral export control regimes with a view to seeking full membership," he said.
Stop White Genocide
This global White genocide is not being carried out through mass murder – it is being carried out through political policies.
On October the 10th, protesters gathered outside the town hall in Sydney, Australia. The “Party for Freedom in Sydney” organized the protest to speak out against the extremely brutal mass murders in South Africa of which White people are specifically a target of.
“It is not a matter that is talked about often. It is never seen in the news. It isn’t discussed around the water-cooler.” wrote sydneytrads.com, which first reported on the protest.
“The murder of Whites in South Africa has a particularly savage element to it, above and beyond the merely criminal. It reeks of malice and racially motivated violence.”
“Some of the stories are truly horrific: a family brutally clubbed to death – save for the twelve year old son who was thrown into a scalding bath bound and gagged, whist the family dog was disemboweled.”
“A whole family cut up with an axe; a mother and daughter are raped and tortured seemingly for kicks; a man is stabbed 150 times and his wife and child shot at close range and other reports include the pouring of boiling water down the throats of an elderly couple and farmers being dragged behind vehicles. These are not mere acts of violence incidental to theft or other criminal activity.”
One eyewitness said “most of the people who yelled at us today were women, and all of them were White. I really don’t understand what they’re going on about. Why should the mass murder of Whites, many of whom are women and children, not be a cause for concern? That’s what we’re protesting about!”
Another person asked “do these people think we should be ignoring something that would be a cause of large scale public denunciations if it were perpetrated against, say, indigenous Australians? So it’s OK to treat Whites this way? Is that what I’m supposed to take from the abuse we got?”
Things are so bad in South Africa that one politician who was campaigning for presidency had to promise that there would “never be a white genocide” under his rule, after he was caught singing about shooting White people.
This is precisely why we all must stand united against White Genocide, not just in South Africa, but the one that’s taking place globally.
There is often some confusion to what we mean by this, let me explain. This global White genocide is not being carried out through mass murder – it is being carried out through political policies.
Firstly, majority White countries were all at the same time opened up to massive scale non-White immigration. Secondly “diversity” laws were put in place which are specifically meant to get more non-White people into White areas.
Both of these policies were put in place because there is a collective intent to get rid of White people, or at the very least, get rid of the White majority. This is White Genocide.
Common Core testing obsessively while failing to teach
The Corporate Education Reform Industry and its allies like President Obama, Former President George W. Bush, presidential candidate Jeb Bush and Democratic governors Andrew Cuomo and Dannel Malloy have repeatedly claimed that the Common Core, the Common Core testing scheme, diverting scarce public funds to charter schools, privatizing public education and evaluating teachers based on the Common Core test results would be good for the nation’s public school students, their parents and the country’s future.
As a result of their ill-conceived policies billions of dollars in public taxpayer funds at the federal level and tens of millions of dollars here in Connecticut are being shifted away from classroom instruction so that corporate education reform companies can continue to make even more money. A new independent study authorized by Florida’s legislatures report recently reported that,
“[This year’s Common Core Test] passing scores were not established through a formal standard setting process and therefore do not represent a criterion-based measure of student knowledge and skills”
The statement is a condemnation of a failed testing system that some officials, especially here in Connecticut, continue to defend.
The new Florida report was authored by Alpine Testing Solutions and edCount, LLC and was conducted as a result of Florida House Bill 7069 which was signed into law on April 14, 2015.
The Florida law required that, “An Independent Verification of the Psychometric Validity of Florida’s 2015 Common Core testing program” be completed and that a reported on the issue be submitted by September 1, 2015 to Florida’s State Senate K-12 Education Committee. The development of the Common Core testing program in Florida is not unlike the situation in Connecticut.
Last year, as a result of growing public pressure, Florida’s Legislature and Governor tried to convince the public that by renaming their Common Core Program they were moving away from the centralized Common Core Standards and Common Core tests that were part of the SBAC and PARCC Common Core operation. SBAC and PARCC are the two national entities developing and managing the Common Core and Common Cores testing programs.
In the case of Florida, the name was changed to the Florida Standards Assessment, while in Connecticut Governor Malloy and the Connecticut General Assembly replaced the term “Common Core” with the softer, gentler notion that our state’s students were being buried by the, “Common Core State Standards in Connecticut.”
But in neither case was the change anything more than cosmetic.
Why the disagreements? Many conservatives are outraged at attempts to "federalize" the curriculum. Jeb Bush, an ardent supporter of Common Core, is being vilified for his support – with Donald Trump going so far as to say that support of Common Core will "kill Bush". Chris Christie, a vocal supporter of the Common Core in 2014, now says his views have "evolved" and opposes it. Ted Cruz chimes in, "We need to repeal every word of Common Core!" On the left, Hillary Clinton called the arguments around Common Core "very painful, because the Common Core started off as a bi-partisan effort," but she has avoided taking much of a position. Others on the left express concern about the increasing number of hours that will be spent on testing, lack of teacher preparation, and inadequate curriculum materials.
As with many issues in politics, very few people – even those with fierce opinions – understand what Common Core is or have actually plowed through the nearly 200 pages of the standards documents. And almost no one is asking the right questions: Are these the right standards? Will they increase or diminish students' motivation to learn? And, finally, how do we assess student performance against these standards?
In an effort to implement the policy mandate of "all students college ready," the Common Core state standards have been designed to align with college admissions requirements. Because colleges require all applicants to take advanced math – at least Algebra II – this is the math standard that all students in the country will now have to meet, requiring mastery of obscure algebraic procedures that the vast majority of adults never use. In English, high school student writing will be limited to essays on the assumption that skill in writing essays is what is required for college.
The ability to tell stories – an essential tool for making one's point in the adult world – is not in the curriculum.
So what is the alternative? Is Common Core, to paraphrase the old line about democracy, the worst system except for all the others?
It's a simple formula: fewer, higher, more flexible performance standards, which are developed and graded by real teachers, plus less formulaic testing and stress = more real learning.
Habitat Destruction
Animals facing loss of habitat are already endangered by other human threats
"But ivory poaching isn't the only threat facing our iconic wildlife. In fact, in July 2015, the DSWT / Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Anti-Poaching Teams arrested loggers, bush meat poachers, livestock owners and charcoal burners"
Regularly found in trees frequented for food by giraffes, or close by paths regularly used by other animals, snares are made of metal wires, nylon line or vegetable fibers and act as a deadly noose around a wild animal's leg or neck. They come in all sizes and account for the destruction of anything moving in the bush from birds to baby elephants. The destructive power of snares can be seen when we treated an infant elephant in February 2015 for an injury caused by snare wound which had become tightly wound around its leg.
In the last 25 years, the world lost a forested area the size of South Africa and elephants, especially, have lost key habitats and migratory corridors to development. Considering elephants can roam up to 80 kilometers (approx. 50 miles) a day, the impact is huge. From charcoal burning, which involves cutting down and burning mature trees, to increased traffic in wildlife areas, the impact can be destructive; in fact, already this year, along the Mombasa-Nairobi transport at least seven elephants have lost their lives due to accidents on the road and railway, including two young bull elephants which were struck by a train near Mtito Andei.
Today, thankfully, many citizens across the world know about the plight facing elephants at the hands of ivory poaching. But every year, elephants die from simple tragedies — hit by a train or caught up in a dispute over land.
If not the amendments, then what?
So if the changes to the Fisheries Act only account for just over half of the reduction in DFO authorizations, what is responsible for the rest? Prof. Olszynski argues that much of the loss of habitat protection since 2012 can be attributed to regulatory “slippage” (non-compliance) and DFO’s use of a risk-based approach to habitat protection.
The paper describes a consistent decline in how often proponents even refer their projects to DFO since 2001/02, with a sharp drop between 2012-2014. One likely reason for this decline is DFO’s pre-2012 policy of using a risk-based approach, wherein it assumed that low-risk disruptions and harmful alterations to fish habitat would not contravene section 35(1) so long as proponents followed mitigation measures set out in Letters of Advice and Operational Statements. In other words, DFO did in policy what the Minister is now allowed to do in regulation: blanket-exempt certain works and activities from the requirement to obtain authorization to harm fish habitat.

Petition to Revoke "Caitlyn" Jenner's Olympic Medals
https://www.change.org/p/international-olympic-committee-revoke-caitlyn-jenner-s-olympic-medals
>It has recently come to light that gold medalist Bruce Jenner is in fact transgender, and therefore, identifies as a woman. We congratulate Ms. Jenner on these new developments and wish her the best. However, this creates somewhat of a problem as Ms. Jenner (as talented as she is) claims that she has always believed herself to be truly female, and therefore, was in violation of committee rules regarding women competing in men's sports and vice versa.
>Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that we must ask whether or not it is proper that Ms. Jenner should retain her olympic records in light of this, as we must now either claim that Bruce Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner are two entirely different people (which we know is not true), or that Bruce Jenner was, in fact, a woman participating in a men's event. It is only fair to all involved that women receive their credit as champions of the Decathalon and that the men racing Ms. Jenner are not expected to compete with a superior, streamlined being such as herself.
>We urge Ms. Jenner to support the transgender community by giving up the medals earned by competing against the wrong gender.

Owens pleads not guilty to murder charges in 2014 SXSW crash
Rashad Owens, charged with killing four people and injuring more than 20 others during the South By Southwest Music Festival in March 2014, pleaded not guilty to capital murder and four counts of murder.
The 23-year-old made a brief appearance Thursday before Travis County District Judge Cliff Brown, who scheduled his final hearing before trial is to take place Oct. 15.
Jury selection has been scheduled Oct. 26, and testimony is expected to begin Nov. 2.
Owens pleads not guilty to murder charges in 2014 SXSW crash photo
Rashad Owens
Owens has been incarcerated at the Travis County Jail, with bail set at $5.5 million, since the deadly crash on March 14, 2014. He stands charged with capital murder and 24 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Austin police have said Owens was driving drunk and fleeing police when he drove a stolen car through a crowd of revelers on Red River Street. Jamie West, 27, and Steven Craenmehr, 35, died at the scene. Deandre Tatum, 18, and Sandy Le, 26, died in the days that followed.
Prosecutors have said they will not seek the death penalty, but the capital murder charge is a rare, if not unprecedented, response to a suspect accused of hitting and killing others while driving intoxicated, local and statewide legal authorities have said.
Outside the courtroom Thursday, attorney Rickey Jones, who is representing Owens, said there was nothing in his client’s criminal record that could have suggested he would one day end up in this position. He called the wreck a tragic incident that no one could have predicted.
“This is the kind of thing that could have happened to a lot of people,” he said.
Environmentalists Getting Murdered in Brazil
The killers came from the forest, the very same forest Raimundo Santos Rodrigues so loved.
The environmentalist had spent years defending one of the last pristine swathes of the eastern Amazon rain forest from loggers, miners and farmers. But his activism had earned him enemies in Brazil’s northern state of Maranhão.
And on Tuesday afternoon, those enemies pounced.
Santos Rodrigues and his wife were riding their motorbike from the market back to the Biological Reserve of Gurupi when two men suddenly emerged from the treeline, witnesses told local media. As the couple crossed a bridge, the gunmen opened fire, hitting both the environmentalist and his wife.
To ensure their objective, the assassins ran up to Santos Rodrigues and stabbed the injured man to death. His wife, Maria da Conceição Chaves Lima, was rushed to the hospital and is expected to live.
Santos Rodrigues had been a “marked” man because of his environmentalism, said a man who spoke to G1 anonymously for fear of also being targeted.
“Loggers hated him because he denounced them,” said a co-worker, also anonymously. “He was very active in the region, defending the community, attending the Union of Rural Workers of Bom Jardim.”
Officials have promised a thorough investigation and are treating the murder as an attack on a public official. Santos Rodrigues was a volunteer with the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, part of the Ministry of the Environment.
“It will be treated with top priority,” said Alexandre Saraiva, a federal police superintendent.
But that promise appears hollow against the bloody reality in Brazil, widely considered the most dangerous country on earth for environmentalists.
Between 2002 and 2013, at least 448 environmentalists were killed in Brazil, according to Global Witness. That equates to roughly half of all the environmentalists murdered worldwide during that period.
According to local watchdog CPT, the grim tally is even worse: More than 1,500 Brazilians have been killed over the past 25 years fighting deforestation, and another 2,000 have received death threats, Men’s Journal reported in 2012.
Last year, 29 Brazilian environmentalists were murdered, again more than any other country, according to Global Witness.
The reasons behind Brazil bewildering conservationist killing spree are simple. The country’s land ownership is “among the most concentrated and unequal in the world,” leading to conflicts between subsistence farmers or indigenous groups and “well-connected landowners over who has the legal right to forests and land,” according to Global Witness.
“Magnates buy off local politicians and policemen, and kill anyone who challenges their agricultural practices,” according to Men’s Journal.
As in the slaying of Santos Rodrigues, environmentalists are in most danger inside or at the edges of the Amazon. The giant rain forest — which some activists fear will be half gone by 2030 — is the site of 68 percent of all such murders, according to Global Witness. First the trees are cut down by loggers, which then opens the land up to cattle ranchers, soy farmers or miners.
“Many people from the logging and mining companies think the only way to solve problems is by killing the people who defend the forest,” federal prosecutor Felício Pontes told Men’s Journal.
Like the Amazon itself, the problem of violence against environmentalists is shared by many Latin American countries. Last year, at least 25 environmentalists were killed in Colombia, according to Global Witness. Honduras (12), Peru (9), Guatemala (5), Paraguay (3) and Mexico (3) also reported multiple murders of conservationists in 2014.
Although more than 80% of the killings were in Latin and Central America, Asian environmentalists are also at great risk. Fifteen Filipinos were killed in 2014, followed by Thailand (4), Indonesia (2) and Myanmar (2), again according to Global Witness.
Almost none of these murders are ever solved, the group says. A 2014 Global Witness report found that 908 activists were killed in 35 countries between 2002 and 2013, yet there were only 10 convictions.
“What feeds the violence is the impunity,” Isolete Wichinieski, national coordinator of the Brazilian group Commisão Pastoral da Terra, told the Guardian.
Based Jew Shanks 6 Degenerate Liberal Faggots At Gay Pride Parade
An Ultra-Orthodox Jew stabbed 6 faggots at a Gay Pride parade in Jerusalem. Supposedly Jews are all behind the push for LGBT as a way of spreading degeneracy among the goyim, but it's affecting their own country too, and it seems there are some who didn't attend the latest conspiracy meeting and get the message that every Jew is supposed to be pushing for more tolerance of degeneracy. /pol/ - Ultra-Orthodox anti-degeneracy alliance when? Any man who stabs 6 liberal faggots is a based brother in my book.

Closing of EURO TUNNEL and Calais Crisis
Calais crisis far from over as thousands of immigrants head for the UK
The Channel Tunnel will be closed at night if the Calais crisis worsens under plans being considered by ministers - as it emerged that an African migrant walked almost its entire length.
Ministers have sought legal advice on what was described by Whitehall sources as the “nuclear option” of closing the tunnel to freight and passenger trains overnight.
The proposal, which has been discussed at meetings of the government’s emergency Cobra committee, follows concerns that the number of services at night is increasing the risk of migrants making it through the tunnel.
It comes as a Sudanese man was arrested by British police on Tuesday just steps away from the mouth of Eurotunnel in Folkestone, Kent, after dodging trains travelling at 100mph.
Haven't heard of the Calais crisis?
Don't worry the media tries to spam other non-stories to keep it out of the spotlight. You probably don't know as an American what the Calais Crisis is.
Thousands of migrants who are camped in Calais are attempting to reach the UK by crossing the Channel.
Some try to stow away on lorries bound for cross-Channel ferries. During recent strikes by French ferry workers, which closed the Channel Tunnel, migrants openly tried to board lorries stuck in traffic on the roads leading to the port. There have also been some reports of migrants attempting to stow away in people's cars.
Most recently, activity has shifted more to the Channel Tunnel. Migrants attempt to stow away on lorries headed for the Eurotunnel, or jump or cut security fences to try to hide on Eurotunnel trains themselves.
Eurotunnel has described "nightly incursions", with groups of up to hundreds of migrants attempting to breach security at once.
How long has this been going on?
While the number of migrants is currently at a high, the issue is far from new. In 1999, the controversial Sangatte refugee camp was opened in Calais, attracting thousands of would-be asylum seekers and people traffickers.
Its closure in 2001 and 2002 - on the orders of France's then minister of the interior, Nicolas Sarkozy - led to riots. Since then migrants have continued to arrive in Calais and build makeshift camps near the port. French authorities estimate there are about 3,000 people currently living in the camps known as "the Jungle", although other estimates put the higher.
The issue made headlines again in September last year after a ferry bound for the UK was stormed by about 235 illegal migrants.
The Home Office said Border Force and the French authorities together prevented more than 39,000 attempts to cross the Channel illegally in 2014/15 - more than double the number prevented the previous year, while Eurotunnel, which operates the Channel Tunnel says it has blocked 37,000 attempts since January.
And this leads to:
Mandatry ID cards (soon)
Identity cards are now "essential" in the wake of the Calais migrant crisis, campaigners have claimed.
The report said: "In the longer-term we must return to the introduction of ID cards.
"The French are right to point out that the absence of ID cards in the UK makes it far too easy for migrants to stay on illegally and find work in Britain."
"There are no ID cards. They can easily find work outside the formal economy, which is not really controlled."
ID cards were first mooted by the Labour government in 2003. However, the project was scrapped by the coalition in 2010.
CEO ROBOTS & ROBOT EXECUTIVES
Could computers take over the boardroom?
Sure Sure. You want to say that all work that produces physical objects is "easy" and that computers are naturally superior to man at software if they gain any level of "intelligence".
Okay.
Computers from the ground up were originally built as information and control systems. Management.
So why are workers replaceable but management would not be?
Executives, bankers, and "charismatic" CEOs are far more replaceable than skilled workers.
''iCEO, a software prototype designed to test whether high-level management can be automated, was launched recently with encouraging initial results. In a 2015 article in Harvard Business Review, Devin Fidler of the non-profit group Institute for the Future outlined what iCEO can teach us about the future of the job world, and specifically, the future of the management structure in the corporate world.
One highly visible foray into automated management has upset workers and caused one company to take a public-relations beating. Starbucks employs a widely-used software program that examines sales patterns and other data to determine scheduling of its baristas.

Shielded by Christian Love
Support for the young women. Options for adoption. Love and kindness.
Death cultists practice abortion as if human life was meaningless.
Is it trivial because it is small?
We were all so small once.
Too many young women are pressured into abortion. A traumatizing experience that causes great pain.
Hormone imbalances result from this corrupting practice.
If we can choose which innocent life dies and which lives. Are we still listening to our hearts?
I approach you like one human being to another. Would you want to live in a society that steps on the weak when it is convenient?
A society that gets rid of the downtrodden when they become inconvenient? That is not the society I want to live in. Look in your heart.
""As a child born to a 16 year old mother who was kicked out of her home for wanting to keep me I know the story.
They tried to abduct her and convince her how finishing school right now was more important than the life of her child.
I was there growing. The stress put on my mother was great. Her family was not very religious.
40 years later today I live with my own kids, graduates from college. My mother was able to finish school while having me due to the support of her local church.
People she had never met before who saw two lives in need. Years later my mother is a devout christian that listened to her heart when everything else in her life felt wrong.
Someone was guiding her to make the right decision before she even knew there was anyone out there.""
Nationalism and Its Effects on Peace in Europe
With global crisis, unemployment, dissatisfaction, poverty and intolerance has increased and with it also nationalism. Political parties with nationalist platforms are rising and gaining more support around the world and Europe is no exception.
In Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom and across Europe we can see the rise of the right. The financial crisis in the Eurozone and beyond has triggered rising of nationalists and far-right political parties.
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) on 9th of July released a report about the dramatic increase in anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, online hate speech and xenophobic political discourse as the main trends in 2014.
Nationalism can be positive with legitimacy, promotion of nations and inspiration for citizens or negative by creating tensions between different ethnicity and groups in or outside the country. Some negative aspects of ideology or political movement can be seen in the latest football matches in the Balkans, where supporters of team groups have burned many national flags and hooliganism that is the result of long lasting hatred and nationalism on the ground. Every country has its own history and different positions, but still similarities could be found.
The country all news is regarding to in recent times is Greece. A known slogan “Greece for Greeks” is well known in its anti-austerity party. Attacks against minorities and immigrants with racism are seen in one of the European Union (EU) members. Golden Dawn neo-Nazi party is linked to hundreds of violent attacks against minorities.
It is known for anti-immigration, racist-nationalist worldview. With elections being held this year in January the party captured 6.3% of the vote and 17 senate seats in Hellenic parliament and become the country’s third largest party. In 2014 the party won 9.4% of votes in European parliamentary election and with it 3 seats out of 21.
The party has been put on a trial this year for its criminal activity.
Nationalism in Greece has divided citizens and noncitizens to us and them and created the gap between both. With the economic crisis, Greeks debt, overall economic meltdown, unemployment and increasing number of refugees from different countries, the party led by Nikos Michaloliakos has gained more support and caused even greater intolerance to foreign people in need. Unfortunately, they are not the only one spreading intolerance. Many politicians have a stance against immigrants, which shapes the Greeks’ attitude towards nationalism

>Since 2005, the biggest recipients in this sector have been oil-rich Nigeria and Venezuela, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Algeria.

>Malaysia and Iran, both of which have been actively seeking investment in energy infrastructure, particularly the latter, which has been frozen out of western debt markets for years.

Windows Hello: Microsoft is making the password obsolete in Windows 10
>One of the major features in Windows 10 is the way Microsoft addresses security, user accounts and sign-on options, and though the company has touched on this topic before, it’s only now giving us a more comprehensive look in the form of Windows Hello.
>Windows Hello is an authentication system that uses a variety of biometric signatures and combines hardware and software to allow for seamless and secure user recognition and sign-in. According to Microsoft, the ideal scenario here would be for you to simply look or touch a new device running Windows 10 and to be immediately signed up.
>Windows Hello relies on common hardware, but takes everything to the next level: fingerprint scanners, cameras with infrared sensors and so on. The software analyzes input from such hardware to confirm your identity and then signs you in, without requiring you to remember a password.
>Alongside Windows Hello Microsoft is also launching Passport, a system designed to replace passwords by using personal devices such as smartphones or wearables for authentication into enterprise systems and online content. Both Passport and Hello will be open to developers and OEMs to implement in devices and services.

Anastasia Lechtchenko Masney: Russian Girl Removes Eyes, Heart Of Mother, Sister In Mexico Witchcraf
Anastasia Lechtchenko told law enforcement officials that she killed her mother and sister because they were going to put a hex on her, commonly referred to as brujeria or witchcraft.
The girl has been having problems with her mother, causing her to run away from home for a time before being located in the drug cartel-infested state of Sinaloa, Mexico. As of now, she remains free until a judge in Tijuana signs the arrest order.
Using witchcraft or brujeria against someone in Mexico has become a common way to solve all kinds of problems in society, such as illness, money problems, delinquent behavior in children, and even revenge. About this widespread problem, Mujahid Hussein told the Christian Monitor the following.

What does /new/ think about Bernie Sanders?

>The slur "Cisgender" has been added to the Oxford dictionary.
Yep, that just happened.
The term was made up only in the last few years when a feminist didn't understand the English language and took the term "cis" in relation to an opposing reaction to "trans" in chemistry and thought it meant the same thing (this usage doesn't even make sense if you used it the same way in chemistry) for humans because the opposite had the word "trans" in it.
Yes, Oxford-freakin-Dictionary has just put the word "Cisgender" into what will be taught to children because some dumbass feminist in the 90's didn't realize that the word "trans" in chemistry isn't a reference or even remotely the same thing as "trans" in relation to humans.

California Trio Accused of Running Rogue Masonic Police Force
http://vigilantcitizen.com/latestnews/bizarre-masonic-police-force-uncovered-in-los-angeles/
"Three people have been charged in California with impersonating law enforcement officers after claiming to operate a police department with jurisdiction in 33 states.
They said they belonged to a group called the Masonic Fraternal Police Department, which they claimed dated back to the Knights Templar.
One of the trio is a junior aide to California's attorney general.
Uniforms, weapons and vehicles were found in premises linked to the group.
Brandon Kiel - an aide to state Attorney General Kamala Harris - David Henry and Tonette Hayes were arrested on 30 April and released later that day.
"When asked what is the difference between the Masonic Fraternal Police Department and other Police Departments the answer is simple for us. We were here first!" the group's website page reads. "We are born into this Organization, our bloodlines go deeper than an application."
BBC link in email field. Anyone got any ideas what this shit is all about? It's certainly not just a bunch of nigs nigging around for benefits. There seem to be some resources behind this. They had vehicles, weapons, uniforms, a SICK looking badge that had to have been designed by someone half-decent with PS or Illustrator, etc. And now we have the LA County Sheriff gang looking for more of these people. These dudes are even in my faggot ass city and apparently walked right into the SCV sheriffs station. The sheriffs up here in SCV are mostly rejects that are too soft for DA REAL STREETS NIGGA, but I know for certain the higher ups have ties to some shady motherfuckers (mob).

The Sexodus, Part 1: The Men Giving Up On Women And Checking Out Of Society
"My generation of boys is f**ked," says Rupert, a young German video game enthusiast I've been getting to know over the past few months. "Marriage is dead. Divorce means you're screwed for life. Women have given up on monogamy, which makes them uninteresting to us for any serious relationship or raising a family. That's just the way it is. Even if we take the risk, chances are the kids won't be ours. In France, we even have to pay for the kids a wife has through adulterous affairs.
"In school, boys are screwed over time and again. Schools are engineered for women. In the US, they force-feed boys Ritalin like Skittles to shut them up. And while girls are favoured to fulfil quotas, men are slipping into distant second place.
"Nobody in my generation believes they're going to get a meaningful retirement. We have a third or a quarter of the wealth previous generations had, and everyone's fleeing to higher education to stave off unemployment and poverty because there are no jobs.
"All that wouldn't be so bad if we could at least dull the pain with girls. But we're treated like paedophiles and potential rapists just for showing interest. My generation are the beautiful ones," he sighs, referring to a 1960s experiment on mice that supposedly predicted a grim future for the human race.
if the Jews cast handsome Aryans in their films, aren't they inadvertently promoting Aryan beauty thereby encouraging young impressionable whites to lust after and ultimately start families with one another?
look how many Hollywood stars are tall, blond, and blue-eyed:
and those are just the American examples. there's also Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Craig, Cate Blanchett, Jade Parfitt, Alice Eve, and the über-Arisch Alexander Skarsgaard.
Rand Paul to Hannity: If You See An 85-Year-Old Woman Jaywalking, Do You Put Her In A Chokehold?
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/12/04/rand_paul_to_hannity_if_you_see_an_85-year-old_woman_jaywalking_do_you_put_her_in_a_chokehold.htmlRAND PAUL: Here's the other thing, Sean, Not many people have been mentioning. Legal standards are difficult standards sometimes to prosecute people. But there's another standard for employment. And I think one announcement that would be good and it's sad in this officer's case, but at the same time he used bad discretion. He didn't use discretion and he made a very unwise decision. He should not be given the power to be able to use that kind of force. So I don't think you can have an officer that makes this bad of a decision work as a policeman. And I know it sounds sad, but Eric Garner died and he didn't need to die.
HANNITY: But do you really believe the officer's intent was – I mean, there was resisting on Eric Garner's part.
RAND PAUL: I don't think it has to be the intent. And that's why when you talk about conviction or indictment versus continued employment, there's a much different standard. The standard for a police officer is much different.
HANNITY: How is he supposed to get him to agree to be handcuffed if he's not going to agree?
RAND PAUL: Right. Well, I think that using deadly force for people who aren't armed really is not what we should use.
HANNITY: But again, if you look at the coroner's report, yeah, it contributed but he also had high blood pressure, he had asthma, he had heart disease, all contributing factors to his situation, no?
RAND PAUL: Right. But you have to have discretion. So for example if you see an 85-year-old woman jaywalking, it's against the law, do you put her in a chokehold?
HANNITY: No. No.
RAND PAUL: You see a big guy – this is a big guy – you see him selling cigarettes —
HANNITY: But if he resists, what do you do?
RAND PAUL – is that something the community really wants to even be involved with is what I would say.

Lupe Fiasco ejected from inaugural event after rant on the bombing of the gaza strip
Lupe Fiasco was forced off stage during an inaugural event in Washington DC on Sunday night, after performing an anti-Obama diatribe.The Chicago rapper was playing at The Hamilton, a venue one block away from the White House, when he told the crowd that he did not vote for Barack Obama and went on to perform a 30-minute version of his song Words I Never Said. That track features the lyrics: "I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit, just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets" as well as "Gaza Strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say shit."
When Fiasco refused to move on to the next song, his microphone was cut and a security team removed him from the stage.
One of the events organisers, Hypervocal, released a statement saying: 'We are staunch supporters of free speech, and free political speech. This was not about his opinions. Instead, after a bizarrely repetitive, jarring performance that left the crowd vocally dissatisfied, organisrs decided to move on to the next act.'
It's not the first time Fiasco has been known for his harsh criticism of Obama. During an interview with CBS News he described the president as the "biggest terrorist in the United States of America".

crude oil train wrecks raise questions over safety
Jim Hall, former chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board and among the top safety experts in the country, believes the government has misjudged the risk posed by the growing number of crude-oil trains."We have never had a situation equivalent to 100 tank cars end to end traveling through local communities," Hall said. "This is probably the most pressing safety issue in the country. The industry has turned a deaf ear."
Crude shipments have skyrocketed from 29,605 cars in 2010 to 493,126 in 2014, though the growth rate appears to have flattened out over the last 12 months.
As the shipments have grown, so has the number of accidents. The Assn. of American Railroads says there have been seven accidents that resulted in a spill of more than 5 gallons of oil in the last 18 months.

Fiery West Virginia oil train derailment raises more safety questions
See all related

The Times, based on public records and news accounts, found a total of 13 accidents in the U.S. and Canada since the July 2013 catastrophe at Lac-Megantic, Quebec, in which 47 people died when a runaway oil train crashed into the center of the city.
The crashes have occurred on bridges, along rivers, near downtowns and in the middle of farms, but none of them have caused the loss of human life since the Quebec accident.
The key question is whether the industry is playing a game of Russian roulette, betting the trains will keep crashing in relatively safe rural sections of track.
As long as the crashes do not threaten public safety, the economic losses to the petroleum companies do not appear to be a deterrent.
Each tank car carries about 682 barrels of oil, worth about $33,000. A used tank car may be worth as little as $30,000, based on rail equipment broker websites. Thus, a derailment and loss of 15 cars with their crude could impose a loss of less than $1 million.

Chart Of The Day: Is The US Already In A Recession?
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-02/chart-day-us-already-recession>A month ago, when looking at the latest Factory Orders numbers, we noticed something very disturbing: the annual rate of increase, or rather decrease, in factory orders dropped to -2.3%. The last two time this happened was in 2008, just after the failure of Lehman, and in 2001, just as the US was again entering a recession. In fact, if there is one reliable, false-negative proof indicator of key recessionary inflection points in the US economy, it is the annual change in Factory Orders.

Lil Wayne 4 Reportedly Shot at Miami Beach MansionPolice are rushing to Lil Wayne's Miami Beach mansion after someone called the cops and said they intended to start a firefight with officers. The person claimed 4 people had already been shot.
Miami PD raced to the home on ritzy La Gorce Island … and have set up a perimeter.
The bizarre report comes 11 days after police raced to the home to check on a report of a suspicious person lurking outside the home. Cops let the guy go because when they arrived he was on public property.
As for today's incident … we're told Wayne is in Miami but is not at home.
Police now believe this might be a case of "swatting" … where someone places a prank emergency call in order to prompt a full force response from cops.

Archaeologists find two lost cities deep in Honduras jungle
>Archaeological team say they have set foot in a place untouched by humans for at least 600 years in a site that may be the ‘lost city of the monkey god’It may have to do with this:
> In about 1940, the eccentric journalist Theodore Morde set off into the Honduran jungle in search of the legendary “white city” that Spanish conquistadors had heard tales of in the centuries before.
>He broke out of the brush months later with hundreds of artifacts and extravagant stories of how ancient people worshipped their simian deity. According to Douglas Preston, the writer National Geographic sent along with its own expedition: “He refused to divulge the location out of fear, he said, that the site would be looted. He later committed suicide and his site – if it existed at all – was never identified.”
