Google Says it Mistakenly Disallowed a Conservative Group’s Climate Change Video
Google said it “mistakenly disapproved” a video advertisement about radical climate-change ideology by Capital Research Center (CRC), a conservative think tank.
CRC President Scott Walter told the Daily Caller News Foundation that on Oct. 3, Google refused CRC’s request for its video, uploaded Sept. 23, to be advertised on the platform.
Google initially labeled the video titled “How Far Should We Go To Stop Climate Change?” as “disapproved” for “dangerous or derogatory content” because of a link attached to the video that leads to a CRC article criticizing Ted Kaczynski, or the “Unabomber” who killed three people and injured 23 others.

Johnstone: Mainstream Journalists Who Refuse to Defend Dissident Journalists Are Worshipers of Power
Alternative media circles have been buzzing for the last two days ever since news broke about the arrest of Grayzone journalist Max Blumenthal, who was reportedly jailed for two days after a SWAT-style police team showed up threatening to break his door down last Friday.
Blumenthal is charged with simple assault alleged to have taken place five months ago during the notorious standoff when the US government was working to remove the official Venezuelan government from its DC embassy and replace it with diplomats from the Guaido-led puppet government it was attempting to force into power. Dissident journalists, including Blumenthal, stationed themselves in the embassy in opposition to the illegal eviction and to document the behavior of the evictors. Blumenthal calls the assault charge “a 100 percent false, fabricated, bogus, untrue, and malicious lie.”

Police Owe Nothing to Man Whose Home They Blew Up, Appeals Court Says
An armed shoplifting suspect in Colorado barricaded himself in a stranger’s suburban Denver home in June 2015. In an attempt to force the suspect out, law enforcement blew up walls with explosives, fired tear gas and drove a military-style armored vehicle through the property’s doors.
After an hours-long siege, the home was left with shredded walls and blown-out windows. In some parts of the interior, the wood framing was exposed amid a mountain of debris.
A federal appeals court in Denver ruled this week that the homeowner, who had no connection to the suspect, isn’t entitled to be compensated, because the police were acting to preserve the safety of the public.
“Under no circumstances in this country should the government be able to blow up your house and render a family homeless,” Leo Lech, the house’s owner, told NPR. “This family was thrown out into the street without any recourse.”

This is a Seditious Coup — Last Time Democrats Did This They Eventually Hanged for Their Sedition
Today the Democrats running the House made official their plans to remove President Trump from office. President Trump is arguably the best US President since Lincoln, the last great President removed from office by Democrats.
Lincoln was assassinated after holding the country together and freeing Democrat owned slaves in the great Civil War. President Trump is too good for the Democrats. He has an ‘America First’ agenda which the traitorous ruling class despises.
It’s time that we Americans stand and call this what it is. This is another Democrat attempt to remove a President through any means necessary. It is seditious and treasonous. The Democrats in the 1860’s that were in on the Lincoln assassination were killed in their escape or hanged high.
We are entering a new phase when it’s time to hold all seditious and treasonous Democrats who actively act to remove President Trump from office to the same fate!

A Cryin’ Shame: Europe’s ‘Flight Shaming’ Movement
If one invention in mankind’s history has connected people and places, helped raise the standard of living for billions of people, and allowed anyone to travel the world freely, it is the modern jet airliner.
Yet environmental activists are now sprouting another offshoot of the “global warming” movement to recklessly contract and diminish this advancement in human ingenuity because they fret over aircraft as one of the most “carbon-intensive” forms of travel.
Your new word for the day is “flygskam“ (pronounced: “fleeg-skam”). It is a Swedish word introduced by the nascent — still mostly European — environmental movement to “flight-shame” travelers into refraining from taking flights to lower carbon emissions.

A Barcelona court acquitted five men accused of gang-raping a 14-year-old girl yesterday after ruling that the defendants ‘were able to commit sexual acts without using any type of violence or intimidation.’
A rape charge in Spain requires a plaintiff to present evidence of intimidation or specific violence such as being threatened with a knife or dealt physical blows.
The men, who were initially charged in Spain with the crime of sexual assault, were instead convicted of the lesser crime of sexual abuse of a minor, and sentenced to between 10 and 12 years in prison.
The more serious charge of sexual assault would have resulted in a prison sentence between 15 and 20 years.

Italy: Salvini Wins Local Election in Historically Leftist Area
After governing for 50 years, the left has been vanquished in Umbria as the center-right alliance led by right-wing populist Matteo Salvini garnered close to 60 percent of the vote in Sunday’s regional elections.
The candidate for governor of the region, Donatella Tesei, who’s backed by Salvini’s League, the national-conservative Brothers of Italy, and Berlusconi’s center-right Forza Italia, snagged 57.5 percent of the vote, defeating Vincenzo Bianconi, who was supported by Italy’s ruling leftist coalition.
Some, including Matteo Salvini, have referred to the victory as historic since the region has — for the past 50 years — been well-known as a stronghold for Italy’s left, Il Giornale reports.
“In Umbria, we are writing a new page of history,” Salvini said.

Meet the Mobster Who Claims He Helped Whack Pope John Paul I Over Stock Fraud
He helped kill the pope — so his pals could stay out of hell.
That’s the shocking claim from longtime Colombo gangster Anthony Raimondi, who says that, in 1978, he went to Italy with a team of hit men who whacked John Paul I. They allegedly poisoned him with cyanide just 33 days into the pontiff’s reign, according to Raimondi’s new book, “When the Bullet Hits the Bone,” out now from Page Publishing.
Raimondi, the nephew of legendary godfather Lucky Luciano, claims he was recruited for the murder at the age of 28 by his cardinal cousin, Paul Marcinkus, who ran the Vatican bank. Raimondi’s job was to learn the pope’s habits and be on hand to observe as Marcinkus knocked out John Paul by spiking his nightly cup of tea with Valium.

Netherlands: Turk Arrested for Stabbing Married Couple to Death at Movie Theater
Now get this, the media as usual, is protecting the identity of this foreign murderer. On almost all Dutch press, his face is censored… can you believe this? Liberals are protecting the identity of murderers nowadays.
NOT HAPPENING! Murderers do not get this privilege also, there is no such thing as privacy in public anyway. Once you are in public, you can be filmed and photographed, nobody needs any consent. You wanna know why they are censoring their faces?
Because they are h*llbent on invading us with these scumbags until we go extinct in our own countries and once there is a story with one of them doing something bad, they censor because it can be harmful to their agenda and people would start to oppose this invasion but you know what? This is what we want, wake up, oppose the invasion!
Here’s his photo, uncensored, the world needs to know this scumbag’s face! You need to know who to run away from in case this criminal is released and don’t you worry, countless murderers have been released by the unjust authorities. It wouldn’t be the first time…
So here’s the report from the NL Times:
The 33-year-old man wanted in connection with a double homicide at a Groningen movie theater on Saturday was arrested at a gas station along the Hoendiep on the city’s west side Sunday morning. Gunshots were fired during the arrest, police said, and the Muslim Turk suspect, Ergün S. was injured.
He was taken to an area hospital under police guard, authorities announced at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday. A police spokesperson told broadcaster NOS that shots were fired when the suspect brandished a knife.
“I came here, saw a policeman get out of a car and shoot at the suspect from very close,” said Harry de Boer, a man who was at the gas station washing his scooter said to Dagblad van het Noorden.
S. was shot in the leg by an officer who advanced on S. during the arrest. Witnesses heard two shots fired, according to the regional newspaper.
Police identified S. as the man seen on security camera footage leaving a Pathé movie theater on Gedempte Zuiderdiep in Groningen, where the bodies of two people were found at 9:20 a.m. on Saturday. The victims were reportedly a married couple in their fifties, responsible for cleaning the theater for a janitorial services provider.

2000 Year Old Satanist Torah Discovered in Turkey After Police Arrests Smugglers
Turkish Police arrested four former fighters of Faylaq al-Rahman and a Turkish citizen who were trying to sell two rare, ancient, gold-plated Torahs in the northwestern province of Bilecik on May 8, the Russian TV network RT reported on May 11.
The Turkish newspaper Daily Sabah said that Police had confiscated the two ancient Torahs during the arrest. According to the newspaper, the town ancient artifacts worth a total of $1.86mln.
Syrian opposition sources confirmed that Faylaq al-Rahman fighters had stolen the ancient Torahs from a historical 2,000 years old synagogue in the Jobar district, east of the Syrian capital of Damascus. The district was under the control of the US-backed group Faylaq al-Rahman from 2013 until March 2018, when it was finally liberated by the Syrian Arab Army (FSA).
After the liberation of Jobar, Syrian pro-government activists revealed that many of the district’s historical Jewish synagogues had been looted and destroyed by Faylaq al-Rahman fighters, who even dug tunnels under the historical sites in an attempt to find “Jewish treasures”.
This was the second scandal involving Eastern Ghouta “opposition” groups after their withdrawal from the region. On March 5, the Iranian news agency Fars revealed that the political leader of Jaysh al-Islam Mohammed Alloush had stolen $47m from his group before resignation from his position.
The scroll is said to have been constructed with embroidered gazelle leather and multiple ruby and emerald ornaments of various sizes.

Caroline Glick: Al-Baghadi and Trump’s Syrian Chessboard
US President Donald Trump’s many critics insist he has no idea what he is doing in Syria. The assassination of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi over the weekend by US Special Forces showed this criticism is misplaced. Trump has a very good idea of what he is doing in Syria, not only regarding ISIS, but regarding the diverse competing actors on the ground.
Regarding ISIS, the obvious lesson of the Baghdadi raid is that Trump’s critics’ claim that his withdrawal of US forces from Syria’s border with Turkey meant that he was going to allow ISIS to regenerate was utterly baseless.
The raid did more than that. Baghdadi’s assassination, and Trump’s discussion of the mass murderer’s death showed that Trump has not merely maintained faith with the fight against ISIS and its allied jihadist groups. He has fundamentally changed the US’s counter-terror fighting doctrine, particularly as it relates to psychological warfare against jihadists.
Following the September 11 attacks, the Bush administration initiated a public diplomacy campaign in the Arab-Islamic world. Rather than attack and undermine the jihadist doctrine that insists that it is the religious duty of Muslims to fight with the aim of conquering the non-Muslim world and to establish a global Islamic empire or caliphate, the Bush strategy was to ignore the jihad in the hopes of appeasing its adherents. The basic line of the Bush administration’s public diplomacy campaign was to embrace the mantra that Islam is peace, and assert that the US loves Islam because the US seeks peace…

A memorandum of understanding was signed which extended the funding period of Indo-German partnership in higher education from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2024, the official said.
During the meeting, the HRD minister emphasised the need to expand research on the impact of climate change on coastal infrastructure and the adaption strategies regarding water resources, studies related to coastal vulnerability and extreme events among others.
India has agreed to extend support to Germany in starting courses on yoga, ayurveda and naturopathy which enjoy great popularity in Germany, an official statement said.

China Pushes Higher ‘Moral Quality’ For Its Citizens
Beijing (AFP) — From budgeting for rural weddings to dressing appropriately and avoiding online porn, China’s Communist Party has issued new guidelines to improve the “moral quality” of its citizens.
Officials have released several sets of guidelines this week alongside a secretive conclave of high-ranking officials in Beijing which discusses the country’s future direction.
On Sunday the government published its “Outline for the Implementation of Citizen Moral Construction in the New Era” — which advises readers how to use the internet, raise children, celebrate public holidays and behave while travelling abroad.

Quarter of All Pigs Worldwide Could Die From Swine Fever, Animal Health Organization Says
At least a quarter of the world’s pig population could die as a mass outbreak of African swine fever spreads, a global animal health organization says.
The die-off would spark global pig shortages, spiking prices of pork and products that rely on the animals to be produced, said Mark Schipp, president of the World Organization for Animal Health.
“I don’t think the species will be lost, but it’s the biggest threat to the commercial raising of pigs we’ve ever seen,” Schipp told reporters Thursday in Sydney. “And it’s the biggest threat to any commercial livestock of our generation.”

Shell Shock: A New Study on ‘Havana Syndrome’ With a Stunning Conclusion
The cause of the mystery illness among US and Canadian diplomats in Havana is most likely to be emotional trauma and fear according to a leading sociologist and an expert in neurodegenerative diseases, writing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.
Concussion-like symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue, were initially reported among dozens of US embassy staff between late 2016 and June 2018. They were described by the US State Department as ‘medically confirmed symptoms’ and government physicians suspected the involvement of a sonic device. Studies on the embassy patients, however, have been inconclusive and contradictory. A similar array of symptoms was reported in over two dozen Canadian diplomats during this same period.
The paper’s lead author, Dr. Robert Bartholomew, concludes that ‘Havana Syndrome’ is more akin to shell shock, with the symptoms paralleling those associated with war trauma.

This month marks the tenth anniversary of “Climategate” — the release of thousands of emails to and from climate scientists who had been (and still are) collaborating and colluding to create a man-made climate crisis that exists in their minds and computer models, but not in the real world.
The scandal should have ended climate catastrophism.
Instead, it was studiously buried by politicians, scientists, activists and crony capitalists, who will rake in trillions of dollarsfrom the exaggerations and fakery, while exempting themselves from the damage they are inflicting on everyday families.

School District to Request ‘Sexual Orientation’ of Kindergarten Students
“Diversity” data soon collected on 4-year-olds
Children as young as four will be requested to provide information about their “gender identity and sexual orientation” to school district officials in Ottawa, Canada, according to the CBC.
A new survey “aimed at understanding diversity” will be administered to all students by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) in November.
“Starting Nov. 26, all OCDSB students will be asked for personal information including details related to their race, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity,” the CBC reports. “For the first time, the voluntary surveys will be administered to younger students, too.”
“Data will be gathered from all students attending OCDSB schools, with parents completing surveys for students in junior kindergarten to Grade 6, while students in Grades 7 to 12 will fill out surveys themselves.”

They Live, We Sleep: Beware the Growing Evil in Our Midst
by John W. Whitehead
“You see them on the street. You watch them on TV. You might even vote for one this fall. You think they’re people just like you. You’re wrong. Dead wrong.” — They Live
We’re living in two worlds, you and I.
There’s the world we see (or are made to see) and then there’s the one we sense (and occasionally catch a glimpse of), the latter of which is a far cry from the propaganda-driven reality manufactured by the government and its corporate sponsors, including the media.
Indeed, what most Americans perceive as life in America—privileged, progressive and free—is a far cry from reality, where economic inequality is growing, real agendas and real power are buried beneath layers of Orwellian doublespeak and corporate obfuscation, and “freedom,” such that it is, is meted out in small, legalistic doses by militarized police armed to the teeth.
All is not as it seems.
This is the premise of John Carpenter’s film They Live, which was released more than 30 years ago, and remains unnervingly, chillingly appropriate for our modern age.

Why I’m Counting on ‘Generation Joker’
By Milo Yiannopoulos/FreeSpeechTV
Joker is a masterpiece. But even more remarkable than its stylistic brilliance and moral seriousness is the triviality with which it has been approached by the liberal establishment.
I have read a few dozen reviews of Joker by now. Not a single one is written as intelligently as the movie is, which is the opposite of how film coverage normally goes. At most publications, reviewing Joker has been farmed out to the junior women on staff. Perhaps the men are too overawed and incapacitated by it, like the rest of us, to dissemble.

Earlier in the comments, I repeatedly wrote about a certain Valentina Chupik. This is a citizen of Uzbekistan who lives in Russia according to the “refugee passport”. Apparently has a mixed Russian-Ukrainian origin, but hates Russia.
She is a human rights activist and receives grants from IOM. She is a lonely woman with 11 cats and brain problems. By the way, she likes Bernie Sanders, she really looks forward to his election.
Commentary on the topic of migration from Central Asia:
… Arab employers are NOT friends to nobody – labor slavery is just LEGAL there, the conditions are extremely harsh, much worse than in Russia.
As for the EU and the USA, there is Nazism and migrantophobia there too, but their state persecutes and suppresses, but DOES NOT support, as in Russia. Of course, the rights of migrants, even illegally working, in the EU and the USA are much better protected than the rights of fully legal migrants in Russia
“Mr. Johnson has thus far rejected.”
Thus far.
“In other news, five young men were acquitted on gang-rape charges in Spain because their underage victim was unconscious when they had their way with her, and thus they had no need to use force during the act.”

KYRGYZSTAN PREPARES TO RETURN ITS CITIZENS FROM Iraq AND SYRIA. DONOR MONEY OUTSIDE REAL RISKS FOR Central Asia
Bishkek plans to hold a humanitarian action by the end of September to return its citizens from the combat zones of Iraq and Syria. This was reported in the government of Kyrgyzstan, specifying that the operation is carried out under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister Zhenish Razakov. It is mainly about women and children. Similarly, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have already acted. Experts, analyzing the situation, warn about the risks to the civilian population of all countries in the region.
Since 2013, according to various estimates, more than 5 thousand people have left the Central Asian states for the war in Syria and Iraq. Together with men, wives and children often left. Over time, usually already widowed, many women began to ask again, assuring the authorities that they had been taken to the war zone by fraud.
The first to return the “deceived women” and their children was Kazakhstan. Since last year, about 500 people have returned to their homeland.
…
Evgenia Kim also noted that the return of people from war zones is another puzzle in the chain of operations, the ultimate goal of which is to turn Central Asia into a second Afghanistan with the need for foreign military intervention and with all other attributes of the war. “But local politicians and other people who are lobbying for the return program ignore these risks. It seems that the money that can be obtained from foreign donors for this program outweighs,” Kim said.

This part of the article requires special attention:
The United States is ready to exchange experience with the countries of Central Asia in repatriating families of militants, the acting director told reporters at a briefing on Thursday. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Alice Wells.
“Central Asian states are at the forefront of the issue of reintegrating families of foreign militants, their wives and children. Kazakhstan has received approximately 600 women and children back. Tajikistan has returned family members. Uzbekistan has also returned more than a hundred, mostly spouse and family members. Kyrgyzstan also examines how many of its citizens are in Syria, as well as in Iraq, “Wells said. She confirmed, answering a question from RIA Novosti, that this was discussed at a meeting of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo with the foreign ministers of five Central Asian states on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
“We are focusing on how we can provide technical support, engage Central Asia in a broader discussion about the reintegration of the families of foreign terrorist fighters,” she added.
