59 Officers Injured, 47 People Arrested During Saturday’s Protest in Seattle

SEATTLE — Protests are picking up new momentum in Seattle in response to the death of George Floyd and in response to federal agents being placed in Seattle to be on standby.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee and Seattle leaders, such as Mayor Jenny Durkan and Police Chief Carmen Best, have voiced opposition to the federal agents being in the city for fear it could escalate the protests.

Astrophysicist Consultant for Pentagon Briefed Defense Dept., Senators on Flying “Off-World Vehicles Not Made on This Earth”

An astrophysicist who previously served as a consultant investigating UFOs for a Department of Defense project has told the New York Times that he last briefed the department in March on what he describes as “off-world vehicles not made on this earth.”

Eric W. Davis, who worked starting in 2007 for a UFO program previously run by the U.S. Department of Defense, said some of his findings led him to believe the objects he learned about were vessels “we couldn’t make … ourselves.”

FBI Uncovers 11 Years of Chinese Economic Espionage

Two Chinese nationals have made their way onto the “Wanted by the FBI” list for conducting 11 years of economic espionage, intellectual property theft, extortion, and computer fraud on behalf of China. Li Xiaoyu and Dong Jiazhi were indicted by a grand jury for their efforts in support of China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), the intelligence arm of the Chinese government. It is clear that the 27-page indictment is just the tip of the iceberg, designed to make the case, but not to demonstrate to China the depth of knowledge garnered by the counterintelligence team as they unraveled and rolled back the 11 years of activity by Li and Dong.

Uncovering the Chinese Espionage Caper

According to the Department of Justice’s press conference on July 21, the duo’s activities were discovered when they successfully penetrated the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hanford Site located in Washington state in 2015 and 2018. The site, which once produced nuclear weapons for the U.S., discovered the activities as the duo conducted reconnaissance collecting information on the network, personnel, and acquired lists of users and administrator accounts. The genesis of the investigation which followed showed their nefarious activities went as far back as 2009 and were active up until July 7.

How Corporations Are Buying Up Houses — Robbing Families of the American Dream

One morning in 2012, Phoenix real-estate developer Geoff Jacobs was playing golf when he got a surprising phone call.

One of his employees, trying to bid on a house they wanted at auction, told him the price had reached their agreed-upon ceiling of $85,000 — a rare occurrence, since they usually snagged the homes they wanted without competition.

Jacobs told his employee to go up to $87,000. But the price kept rising.

“The price jumped to $90,000. Then $95,000. The home wound up selling for about $100,000,” writes Ryan Dezember in his new book, “Underwater: How Our American Dream of Homeownership Became a Nightmare” (Thomas Dunne Books), out now.

“Jacobs was bewildered. Who was this aggressive bidder? By the end of the day, he had a name. The bidder was from an outfit called Invitation Homes

Left Dominated Wikipedia Displays Bias Against Conservative Voices Yet Again, ‘Downgrades’ Reliability of Fox News After ‘Discussion’ By Wiki Editors

Wikipedia, the online crowdsourced encyclopaedia which have been facing controversy due to its obvious leftist bias in its editorial decisions, have categorised a major American media house, Fox News, as being unreliable. Fox News is considered to be leaning towards right-wing, and is disliked by left-wing intellectuals.

Earlier, Fox News was categorised as a green-level source on the Reliable sources/Perennial sources of Wikipedia, but now it has been downgraded to yellow-level, which means editors are advised to exercise caution while quoting Fox News for articles. A discussion on the reliability of Fox News website is still going on Wikipedia editors and administrators. In the discussion for Fox News, there was no consensus on its reliability, the media house has been still downgraded to yellow level by the administrators saying that there was no consensus.

Parking Tickets Covered by Eighth Amendment’s Ban on Excessive Fines, Federal Court Rules

In a decision that managed to cite both La La Land and Magna Carta, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Wednesday that parking tickets and fees must comply with the Eighth Amendment’s ban on “excessive fines.” Although the ruling is only a partial victory for the Angeleno drivers in this case, it nevertheless clears a path for others to challenge municipal fines as unconstitutional.

“This right to be free from excessive governmental fines is not a relic relegated to the period of parchments and parliaments, but rather it remains a crucial bulwark against government abuse,” Judge Kenneth Lee wrote for the court. “The government cannot overstep its authority and impose fines on its citizens without paying heed to the limits posed by the Eighth Amendment.”

Portland Protests Have No Goal Except Violence and Anarchy

For 58 days, mass protests and riots have taken over parts of the city. Some streets and areas are literal “no-go zones” at night — either blocked by fires or teams of “guards.” Day after day, hundreds and even thousands take to the streets and claim the territory as theirs. They cycle through a number of chants like “All cops are bastards” and “F-?-k the police.” A large number of them participate in violent criminal acts such as arson and assault. They’ve made it a game to lure law-enforcement officers out of buildings so they can assault them with blinding lasers, paint, rocks and other weapons.

Radio Host Mocked Trump by Claiming Seattle is Peaceful, Then Rioters Torched His Apartment Building

Seattle radio host and Twitter-based criminal defense advocate Paul Gallant “dunked” on President Donald Trump last month by denying that the riots are violent, then the radio host was scored on by rioters who set fire to his apartment. Now he’s taking up arms.

“Walked through it last night out of curiosity and saw no burning, pillaging, or deaths,” Gallant responded in June to Trump’s tweet calling out the violent leftists who continue to terrorize Seattle. “Chill dawg,” Gallant added sarcastically.

Last night, Gallant had a sudden change of heart towards the “peaceful protestors” when he came home to his apartment complex vandalized. He found the Starbucks underneath torched with graffiti plastered on the storefront. Cops told residents to stay away in case of explosives inside.

Antifa in Canada: 2010 Olympics and G20 Riots

This is the second part of a series about the rise of Antifa in Canada.

As mentioned in the introductory part of this series, prior to the 2000s, Antifa evolved out of fringe and radical left-wing circles already existing in Canada.

Over the years, a growing and loosely affiliated network of groups and individuals influenced by anti-capitalist and anarchist streams of thought formed the precursory bedrock to Canada’s own Antifa movement.

To detail these groups, both small and large, would be an encyclopedic and tedious task which could fill a book from cover to cover. However, some of the more notable and well-recorded ones included the Quebec-based Anti-Capitalist Convergence and the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP), which had a hand in organizing the Queen’s Park riots of June 2000.

Germany: Car Hits Pedestrians in Berlin; 6 Injured

Authorities say six people were injured in the German capital early Sunday after a driver apparently lost control of his car and drove into pedestrians

BERLIN (AP) — Six people were injured in the German capital early Sunday after a driver apparently lost control of his car and drove into pedestrians, authorities said.

The incident occurred shortly after 7 a.m. in Berlin’s Hardenbergplatz, outside the Zoological Garden train station when a 24-year-old man driving a Mercedes SUV went off the road, police said.

Two people suffered life-threatening injuries and are in intensive care, police said, while a third person also had serious injuries. Three others were less seriously hurt and were treated and released.

Police initially had reported seven injuries but revised that figure.

The driver of the vehicle, who was above the legal alcohol limit, was taken into custody and an investigation is underway. Police said there are currently “no indications of a political or religious motivation.”

Sweden Defends Coronavirus Strategy Despite High Casualty Rate

by Daniel Davis

Sweden, typically a poster child for healthy living, has been forced to defend its coronavirus strategy as the state finally begins to see the curve flatten. The fact that Sweden — a state that was rated 8.5 for healthy by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) —failed to control the disease for so long even as its neighbors managed to succeed gives reason to question the Swedish strategy, which was unconventional from the beginning.

Voluntary Measures

From the onset, Stockholm decided not to lockdown, a decision it maintained through the worst of the crisis in April. The Swedish strategy essentially boiled down to trusting its residents to do the right thing. Social distancing has been voluntary and the only hard rule issued by the government is a prohibition of gatherings with more than 50 people, BBC News reported.

Although the government did not explicitly declare herd immunity a goal, some health experts suggested Sweden could be a test bed for the theory. However, others have argued against such an approach and most agreed that for it to work properly, an average 60-85% of a state’s population would need to be infected, according to the New York Times.

Turkey Rejects US & EU Calls to Cease East-Med Gas Drilling as Greece Threatens Military Action

Days after the US State Department warned Turkey over its gas reserves exploration and drilling plans in waters between Cyprus and Greece, which Athens has declared ‘illegal’ given it cuts into Greece’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the European Union has also put Turkey on notice, warning it could move forward with sanctions.

French President Emmanuel Macron said late this week that it’s “not acceptable for the maritime space of a European Union member state to be violated or threatened” and called for sanctions if it moves forward. On Tuesday a US State Department statement demanded that Turkey back down from its drilling plans which have put the Greek Navy on “high alert” — given Turkish exploration ships are already in or near Greek waters.

Greek media sources are now reporting that Turkey through its embassy in Washington DC has informed the Americans that it plans to proceed unimpeded with its drilling research with the Oruc Reis vessel in the disputed eastern Mediterranean waters.

HABAROVSK, Russia — Thousands of demonstrators gathered in the streets of Russia’s Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk for a third weekend on July 25 to show their anger over the Kremlin’s replacement of a popular regional governor.

The sustained demonstrations represent a growing challenge for President Vladimir Putin, who is viewed as having a role in sparking the regional crisis after he fired Sergei Furgal on July 20.

Many called for Putin’s resignation. Others chanted “Disgrace” and denounced the acting governor that Putin appointed in Khabarovsk.

Municipal authorities in Khabarovsk estimated about 6,500 demonstrators took part in the July 25 protest. Local media put the number at up to 20,000 people.

“Kill as Many Kaffirs as You Can”: ISIS Calls Upon Muslims in India to Annihilate ‘Disbelievers’ By Spreading Coronavirus and Carrying Weapons

Amidst the Coronavirus outbreak, the Islamic State (ISIS) has been relentless in its anti-Hindu and anti-India propaganda. Reportedly, in its online publication named ‘Voice of Hind’, the ISIS has urged all jihadists associated with the organisation to unleash terror in the country by being carriers of the deadly disease.

As per the report, the terror outfit has released a 17-page special ‘lockdown edition’ of its magazine and has asked sympathisers to kill the Kaffirs and annihilate the disbelievers (Hindus in this case). Reportedly, the magazine features the cover image of Tablighi Jamaat who attended the Nizamuddin Markaz event and spread the Chinese virus throughout the country. ‘Voice of Hind’ also carried the image of Delhi Anti-Hindu riots with a message that read, “Believers stand tall its time for Kaffir (disbelievers) to fall.”

As per the report, the Islamic State has recommended several ways to Muslim fundamentalists to kill the disbelievers. The terror outfit has asked fellow jihadists to arm themselves with chains, ropes, and wires to choke Kaffirs to death. The magazine stated, “Keep yourselves armed at all times to never miss a chance to kill as many Kaffirs as you can. Tools like scissors and hammers can come in useful to kill the Kaffir.”

Terror outfit praises Jamaatis for spreading Coronavirus

“Burned Alive”: Persecution of Christians, June 2020

The Slaughter of Christians

Nigeria: The jihad on Christians continued in the West Africa nation without letup. In what police described as a “brutal assault,” suspected Muslims raped and slaughtered Uwaila Vera Omozuwa, a 22-year-old Christian girl studying inside Redeemed Christian Church of God in Benin City. “We are all devastated by her death,” a spokesman of the church said, before explaining: “She [had] decided to do some private studies during the lockdown because the church was peaceful. She’s been taking the key from the parish pastor and returning it after her studies.” The slain girl’s mother described what happened after she heard of the attack:

“I ran [to the church] but before I got there, they took her to a private hospital and when I saw my daughter, I cried. They raped her; the dress she was wearing that morning was white. The white had turned to red; all her body was full of blood… My daughter was very kind and very intelligent and disciplined. We had just celebrated her admission to university.”

  1. The Constantinople Hagia Sophia is such an overwhelming success for Islam that Poppy Head should turn over the Vatican for Islamic rituals. On a rotating basis of course. This idiot should piss off back to canoeing up and down the Amazon playing white witch doctor with the natives. Stop this madness. Immediately upon sight.

  2. Be of good cheer for you are meant to be here.
    Reality gets a vote and the fat lady is sporting a mask with a mouth orifice hole opening and scarfing some bon bons.
    The manboons will chase after peace and safety until the next mongoloid delusion comes along.
    Plenty of time for fantastic fun filled festivities.

  3. The comrade in St. Louis just missed the Rams and decided to ram the po-leeces!
    The CPUSA hasn’t yet accepted the 2016 election so don’t put the cart ahead of the horse regarding November.
    Just read at the aggregator that 75% are going with who they chose back in January.
    This is why the fifth column of commie RATS known as the CPUSA or democrats are flailing and failing in their garbage dump FAILED cities.
    Look for a huge distraction to come out of the bestest and brightestest minds of the enemedia complex.
    Comrade Billy Gates is already talking about the COVID-19 upgrade, now slower and with more bugs.
    It will be just in time for the (s)election.
