A man in Adelaide was arrested by police for allegedly building an explosive device in his garden shed. Bomb-disposal experts detonated the device — which was made using TATP, a.k.a. “Mother of Satan” — without harming anyone. The bomb-builder is said to have posted anti-Muslim sentiments online.

Private Payrolls Surge by 275,000 in April, Blowing Past Estimates in Biggest Gain Since July
The U.S. economy added far more jobs than expected in April as payrolls in the services sector grew by the most in more than two years, according to data released Wednesday by ADP and Moody’s Analytics.
Private payrolls grew by 275,000 last month, the biggest increase since July, when they expanded by 284,000. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected private payrolls growth of 177,000.

In a previous article for New View, (“Radiation, Robot Bees and 5G”, New View, 85, Autumn 2017), I described how the introduction of 5G will require hundreds of thousands of new mini mobile phone masts (also referred to as “base stations”) in urban centres throughout the UK, and literally millions of new masts in cities throughout the rest of the world, all emitting radiation at frequencies and at power levels far higher than those to which we are presently subjected.
These new masts are much smaller than the masts we currently see beside our motorways and on top of buildings. They will be discreetly attached to the side of shops and offices or secured to lampposts.
The 20,000 satellites are a necessary supplement to this land-based effort, for they will guarantee that rural areas, lakes, mountains, forests, oceans and wildernesses, where there are neither buildings nor lampposts, will all be incorporated into the new electronic infrastructure. Not one inch of the globe will be free of radiation.
Given the scale of the project, it is surprising how few people are aware of the enormity of what is now just beginning to unfold all around us. Very few people have even heard about the 20,000 new satellites that are due to transform the planet into a so-called “smart planet”, irradiating us night and day. In the national media, we do not hear voices questioning the wisdom, let alone the ethics, of geo-engineering a new global electromagnetic environment.
But the question we should ask is whether we also want increasingly intense exposure of the natural environment and all living creatures, including ourselves, to more and more electromagnetic radiation.

Actor James Woods Held Prisoner in ‘Twitter Jail’
Film star reportedly violates rules ‘against abusive behavior’ Outspoken film star James Woods, who is legendary in social media for verbally thrashing those on the political left, is apparently a prisoner in “Twitter jail,” having been locked out of his own account.
The last tweet from the conservative actor with more than 2 million online followers was dated April 19, with no official indication on his page that he’s been suspended.
But Sara Miller, Woods’ girlfriend, says Woods has been thrown in Twitter jail for an alleged violation of the social-media platform’s rules “against abusive behavior.”

Atlantic Council Takes Over ‘100 Resilient Cities’ From Rockefeller Foundation
Since 1973, the Atlantic Council has been a hotbed of Trilateral Commission members and initiatives. Founded by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Commission resuscitated historic Technocracy and fed it to the United Nations as Sustainable Development. Today, both are steeped in UN initiatives and its Sustainable Development Goals. ? TN Editor
The Atlantic Council and Rockefeller Foundation announced the launch of the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center, which seeks to enhance the resilience of 1 billion people worldwide by 2030. It is the successor of 100 Resilient Cities (100RC), the Rockefeller Foundation’s former resilience effort that is to be disbanded, effective July 31.

Boston Grandmother Alarmed Over “Indoctrination” At School’s ‘Arab Heritage Month’ [Video]
A grandmother at an East Boston charter school released a video of what Arab Heritage Month looks like at her granddaughter’s school.

CBS News, NYT Reporter Suggest U.S. Scrap Free Speech in Favor of New Zealand-Style Censorship
CBS News released a propaganda segment on Monday featuring New York Times tech reporter Cecilia Kang where they suggested the US government could do an end run around the First Amendment through strict “regulations” in order to suppress “hate speech” and “misinformation” online.
Both the CBS News host and NYT reporter Cecilia Kang said the US should look to countries like Australia, New Zealand, Germany and India — which do not have free speech — as models for suppressing free speech on the internet.
As I reported in November 2018, the New York Times editorial board wrote a propaganda piece comparing right-wingers to jihadists and demanded authoritarian censorship of the internet to stop the spread of “toxic ideas.”
The New York Times last year hired virulent anti-white racist Sarah Jeong in August 2018 as their lead technology writer and made her a member of their editorial board.

CNN Just Had Its Worst Month for Viewers in 4 Years
Network has lost 26% of its viewers in a year. CNN just had its worst month for ratings in four years as the network lost 26 per cent of viewers compared to a year ago.
“April ranks as CNN’s lowest-rated month among total viewers in nearly four years, since October 2015,” reports Forbes.
The network’s flagship primetime show, Cuomo Primetime, drew a total of just 917,000 viewers in April, which is its worst performance ever.
The show ranked 26th on the list of primetime shows across all networks. Perhaps that has something to do with host Chris Cuomo’s repeated praise for Antifa.
In the key 25-54 demographic, CNN was also down by a whopping 41 per cent

Ilhan Omar: “This is Not Going to be the Country of White People”
Dem Rep. Blames Trump for synagogue shootings
Rep. Ilhan Omar asserted “This is not going to be the country of white people” during a rally in DC yesterday.
“At this moment, the occupant of the White House and his allies are doing everything that they can to distance themselves and misinform the public from the monsters that they created that is [sic] terrorizing the Jewish community and the Muslim community,” the Congresswoman told the crowd, suggesting that the recent synagogue shootings were Trump’s fault despite both shooters explicitly expressing their opposition to Trump.
Omar went on to emphasize that she was a “refugee” and an “immigrant” from Somalia, which she said Trump would call a ‘shithole country’.
And who could argue with her? With its rampant violence, corruption and oppression of women, Somalia is an ideal destination, which is presumably why its tourist industry is thriving.
Asserting that America “was founded on the history of Native American genocide, on the backs of black slaves,” she went on to brazenly state, “This is not going to be the country of white people.”
Imagine if a white Republican had made a speech in which he or she asserted, “This is not going to be the country of black people.”
Their political career would be finished and their reputation would tainted for the rest of their life.
But since the last acceptable form of racism is racism against white people, Omar’s statement is a mere footnote.

N.Y. Times Injects High-School Crushes Into AOC’s Socialism
In a new plateau for odd political perspectives, the New York Times opinion-page editors have claimed the men at Fox News don’t like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., because “she was one of those girls they had no hope of getting a date with.”

Not because she wants to spend trillions of dollars on a Green New Deal.
Not because she’s flubbed history, mixing up when the Constitution was amended and when Franklin Roosevelt was in office.
Not because she believes there are three chambers of government, the White House, the Senate and the House.

Opioids Blamed After Mother Charged With Killing Five-Year-Old Son
“Our marriage started off well, then it was like a switch flipped in her head”
The ex-husband of a woman named JoAnn Cunningham, charged with murdering her 5-year-old son AJ, claims prescription pills contributed to the woman’s downward spiral in life.
“She was a decent person, but then she got hooked on pills and it all went downhill super fast,” Cunnigham’s first husband Craig Summerkamp told DailyMailTV.
Continuing, he noted, “Our marriage started off well and it was like a switch flipped in her head.”
The 36-year-old Cunningham and her 60-year-old lawyer-turned-lover Andrew Freund face five counts of first-degree murder as well as other charges related to the death and both parents are looking at life sentences if convicted.
Earlier this month, AJ’s body was discovered in a shallow grave in a field near Woodstock, Illinois, 10 miles from the family’s Crystal Lake home after being reported missing on April 18.

‘Sleepy’ Biden Really Lived Up to Trump’s Nickname… Slurring Words and Mixing Up Syllables [Video]
Joe Biden came out sleepy and slurring his words when he tried to fire up the voters in Pennsylvania yesterday.
He’s got the same slurring problem as Nancy Pelosi!
The supercut below shows just how sleepy Joe really was when he mixed up words and even made up new ones during his speech to Union workers.
The crowd even looked sleepy with yawns and blank looks instead of energy and enthusiasm for their candidate.
The curious thing is that not one of the many gaffes below was seen on the news. While it’s not surprising, it’s obvious the candidate is out of practice whipping up a crowd. The lackluster enthusiasm doesn’t bode well for the candidate for president in 2020 especially because this is Biden’s third time running.

Trump Sues Deutsche Bank Over Records
Opposes House subpoenas for lacking ‘lawful purpose’
President Trump sued two banks on Monday to stop them from complying with subpoenas sent from the Democrat-led House Intelligence and Financial Services committees.
The federal lawsuit was filed in Manhattan by Trump, three of his children, and the Trump Organization, and targets both Deutsche Bank and Capital One. They allege the subpoenas were intended to “harass” Trump and only serve a political purpose.
“This case involves congressional subpoenas that have no legitimate or lawful purpose,” the lawsuit says. “The subpoenas were issued to harass President Donald J. Trump, to rummage through every aspect of his personal finances, his businesses and the private information of the president and his family, and to ferret about for any material that might be used to cause him political damage. No grounds exist to establish any purpose other than a political one.”

UNC Charlotte Shooting Victims Were Students, Officials Say
CHARLOTTE — The two people fatally shot at the University of North Carolina campus here were identified Wednesday as students of the public university.
UNC Charlotte officials said the victims were Ellis Parlier, 19, of Midland, N.C., and Riley Howell, 21, of Waynesville, N.C.
“Unfortunately, we did lose two students,” UNC Charlotte Chancellor Philip Dubois told WBT radio. “A terrible day.”
The shootings occurred Tuesday in an academic building known as Kennedy Hall at the 29,000-student university, according to authorities. The gunman apparently targeted an anthropology class shortly after 5:30 p.m. for reasons that remain unknown.
“Yes, there was a shooting in my class today,” Adam P. Johnson, an anthropology instructor, wrote in a tweet. Johnson is teaching a course on science, technology and society. “My students are so special to me and I am devastated,” Johnson wrote.
Four others were injured in the attack. Three of them were initially described as being in critical condition, but their conditions appeared to be improving. Dubois told WBT radio that the injured “look like they’re going to be fine.” Three were still in the hospital and recovering after surgery, he said, and the fourth was released.
Police identified the suspect Tuesday night as Trystan Andrew Terrell, 22, and said he was in custody. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said Wednesday that he was charged with two counts of murder, four counts of attempted murder, four counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, possession of a firearm on educational property and discharging a firearm on education property.
Relatives of Terrell could not be reached for comment.
Dubois called it “the saddest day in UNC Charlotte’s history.”…

US Sovereignty and the UN’s Pathetic Agenda 2030
Recently, our President has also withdrawn the U.S. signature on the UN Arms Trade Treaty, and he has sent a letter to the U.S. Senate recommending that this pact not be considered for a vote by the Senate. Again, the premise for formal withdrawal is the threat perceived by the President to U.S. sovereignty.
Meanwhile, Trump’s political opposition has bitterly and unconscionably turned against his emphasis on sovereignty by characterizing it first as “nationalism,” and then as “white nationalism,” and ultimately as “Hiterlian” or “Nazi-style nationalism.” For any reasonable person who studied history in high school and in college, it is obvious that there are good nationalisms and bad nationalisms. Our Judeo-Christian ethical values, legal system, spiritual foundation, prosperity, emphasis upon rights, respect for the individual, private ownership of property, belief in autonomy and personal responsibility, and commitment to “liberty and justice for all” (always a work in progress) make for a unique and successful nation-state worthy of upholding and defending.
However, “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” was adopted by the United Nations during the Obama Presidency (2015), and thus far has not met with any unusual objections from the Trump administration even though it poses a threat to our sovereignty.

Marriage of Minors at Syrian Refugee Camps, A Tragic Fallout of the War
(Damascus) The rising numbers of child marriage among most vulnerable Syrian refugees over the past 7 years has sent alarm bells amongst humanitarian and civil rights organisations worldwide. Refugee camps in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey have been fertile grounds for thousands of child marriages with catastrophic social and psychological consequences. Whilst the reasons behind this alarming phenomenon vary, the dilemma has been further exasperated by the growing numbers of divorce amongst child brides, and the emergence of child trafficking gangs operating within and outside of those refugee camps.
Although child marriage existed before the war in Syria broke out 8 years ago, particularly in remote rural areas and certain conservatively religious communities, the numbers rocketed since the war broke out, particularly amongst hardest-stricken families displaced from their native homeland by
the conflict, as well as in areas controlled by Islamic fanatic groups whose members and leaders bragged about marrying girls as young as 11 and even younger, as documented in parts of Iraq and Syria controlled by ISIS or Al Nusra terrorists or similar hardline Islamic groups…

The Truth About Bana, the Girl of Aleppo
The use of children as instruments of media propaganda is not new, especially in the context of the Syrian conflict. What is astonishing and unknown, however, is that this image exploitation, aimed at moving and sensitising public opinion, is created by the parents themselves.

Only seven years old, her Twitter account has become, in the months before the liberation of Aleppo from the terrorists, concluded last December, one of the most followed and discussed social profiles.
From the account of the adorable Bana al-Abed, from September 2016, are starting calls in favor of a military action against the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and the Russian Federation. Bana twitted from al-Muasalat, a neighborhood placed in the North-East of Aleppo, at that time occupied by the terrorists.

In 2019, the term “nazi” has come to mean anything to the right of Karl Marx. Even liberals who support free speech have been labeled nazis and scarcely can one find anyone on the radical left who doesn’t see a “fascist” hiding under any bed. Usually, a “fascist” is just someone with a different opinion. For that reason, hearing the term “nazi” when referring to proxy fighters in Ukraine might seem questionable. Are these fighters actually nazis or do they simply not want a Communist utopia in their country?
In the Ukrainian “Euromaidan” movement, however, the term “nazi” is applied legitimately. It is also important to note the lack of coverage given to this fact by the Western mainstream press that is otherwise so quick to label activists in their own countries as supporters of Hitler. Here, the press ignored the issue altogether. At times, the term “nationalists” were used, falsely equating support for one’s country with National Socialism.

Pakistan “Tolerates” Transsexuals
It is night in the outskirts of Lahore, out of an anonymous building, taxis and richo’s full of people keep arriving. Many men, young or not, get off the cars, they enter in the old building and go to the first floor, where disco music and strobe lights welcome whoever arrives. As soon as you become familiar with the high volume, you immediately understand you are in one of the numerous clandestine night parties of Pakistan. It is an illegal and out of the box party: Lady Roma’s birthday party, a Pakistani transgender.
An apparent tolerance
It is right from this party that the journey trough the Pakistani LGBT world begins. Starting from an apparently cheerful moment, a complex world is unveiled, contradictory and dramatic. Formally, Pakistani transsexuals are endowed with more rights than in other countries around the world, but in fact they are victims of stigmatization. The Supreme Court of Islamabad acknowledged the “third gender” in 2009, and a little time before the voting rights had been guaranteed to the members of the LGBT community. That, apparently, would suggest that the transsexuals are tolerated and integrated, but in fact the situation is far more complicated and it is necessary to go back through the past centuries to understand the current social contest in which the lady boys of this Asian country are living…

Bloomberg Says ‘Hidden Backdoors’ Were Found in Huawei Equipment, Vodafone Denies Report
A new report by Bloomberg claims that telecom giant Vodafone had found potential hidden backdoor vulnerabilities in Huawei equipment, but the claims have been refuted by the carrier.
The Bloomberg report makes claims that Vodafone Italy confirmed that they had found vulnerabilities as far back as 2009 in Huawei telecoms and internet equipment.
In the report, the supposed backdoors were found in software running on equipment like home routers and other telecoms-specific networking hardware. These hidden backdoors in the Huawei equipment were said to allow unauthorized access to the carrier’s fixed-line network in Italy, potentially affecting millions of customers and businesses.
As Vodafone remains one of the biggest telecom companies in Europe, any allegations would no doubt prove to be damning to Huawei after a series of high-profile allegations have been levelled at the Shenzen-based company.
Vodafone has since issued a statement (via The BBC) that refutes the claims made by Bloomberg. In the statement, Vodafone said: “The issues in Italy identified in the Bloomberg story were all resolved and date back to 2011 and 2012.

Australian Police Detain Man, Neutralise Explosive
SYDNEY: Australian bomb experts detonated ‘highly unstable’ explosive materials found in a suburban Adelaide garden shed Tuesday, following the arrest of a 43-year-old man police believe to hold anti-Muslim views.
Police said the incident was not being considered terror-related at the moment but “the state protection security branch” was helping with the ongoing investigation.
Authorities late Monday found a small amount of substance believed to be triacetone triperoxide, used to make so-called “Mother of Satan” — a chemical explosive used by jihadi and other terror groups.
The man appeared in court early Tuesday charged with manufacturing and possession of explosives.

Gabriella was nervous as she made her way home. The state had suspended most of the buses, forcing her and others to walk. The government supporters’ “violent reputation” frightened her, she says, as did the muscular police deployment. It was April 18th 2018, and the first of a spree of anti-government protests had just shaken the Nicaraguan capital of Managua. The march had been largely peaceful; the state’s response was anything but. What followed would throw Gabriella’s life, and those of her countrymen, into utter chaos.
After eleven years of his rule, Nicaraguans had risen up against the government of Daniel Ortega. Botched changes to the country’s social security system and the mishandling of an environmental disaster were the touch paper, but a more general frustration at the regime carried the protests nationwide. Much of the anger was directed at Ortega’s alleged nepotism — his wife Rosario Murillo, a deeply unpopular public figure, serves as vice-president and chief state strategist. Allegations of corruption plague both individuals…

Social Media Remains Key to Venezuela’s Opposition, Despite Efforts to Block it
Venezuela’s state-run Internet service on Tuesday appeared to cut off broad swaths of the nation’s social-media and messaging sites, taking aim at the most critical ways Venezuelans had organized protests and communicated with family amid military clashes and violent unrest.
Internet-monitoring groups said CANTV, the state-run Internet provider through which most people access the Web, appeared to block or restrict access to a range of websites, including Twitter and Instagram, that opposition leader Juan Guaidó and other groups have used to mobilize growing protests against President Nicolas Maduro.
The video giant YouTube, the search engine Bing, the live-streaming video service Periscope, and chat and messaging services run by Google also appeared to be blocked as part of the latest sweeping move by an authoritarian regime to squash online dissent.

Venezuela: A Textbook Case of Imperial Pathology
by Srdja Trifkovic
The crisis in Venezuela, instigated and stage-managed by the mighty interventionist clique within the Trump Administration, presents in a distilled form the neoconservative global repertoire. Its key traits are mendacity, arrogance, contempt for all legal and moral norms, bloodlust, avarice, and disregard for any rationally based understanding of the American interest.
On Tuesday morning Venezuelan opposition leader and self-proclaimed “president” Juan Guaidó called for violent overthrow of the country’s government. In a videotaped address he called on citizens and the military to help him oust President Nicolás Maduro. Surrounded by soldiers at the only military base where he garnered visible support, Guaidó announced that this was the “final phase” of the effort to end Maduro’s “usurpation” once and for all. “The moment is now.”
The immediate response to Guaidó’s Operacion Libertad was underwhelming. In the course of the day dozens of people were injured during protests in Caracas—there were no fatalities—but the number of protesters was not even remotely sufficient to threaten Maduro’s government. Contrary to the impression created by the breathless and biased non-stop media coverage, the violence in Caracas was no worse than that seen in the streets of Paris at numerous Yellow Vests protests over the past six months. Most significantly, the armed forces remained loyal to Maduro.
By Tuesday evening the “coup” was over. In an hour-long address to the nation Maduro said his security forces had foiled an attempt by extremists to usurp power and blamed the U.S. for backing his adversaries. Maduro called Guaidó and his followers America’s “useful idiots.”
While the outcome of the day’s events was still in doubt the Trump Administration went into verbal overdrive, its uberhawk duet Pompeo-Bolton leading the way…

In his essay, Bernie Sanders suggested the American dream” is more likely to be found in South America, using Venezuela as an example of a Socialist utopia. In his “Close The Gaps: Disparities That Threaten America” essay, the Socialist US Senator declared: “These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela, and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger.”
Sanders is currently polling at the top of the massive field of 2020 Democrat presidetial candidates.

Angela Merkel Defends Disastrous Open-Door Migrant Policy
ANGELA Merkel has again been forced to defend her disastrous migrant policy four years after more than 1.1 million refugees poured into her country.
Germans were initially supportive of their chancellor’s open-door welcome to people fleeing Middle Eastern war zones but the huge influx led to unprecedented social upheaval and eventually sparked a major political backlash from which Mrs Merkel never fully recovered. She suffered at the polls in elections in 2017 and struggled to pull together a coalition government before quitting as leader of her Christian Democratic Party and announcing she would stand down as chancellor at the next election.

Border Patrol Arrests Over 400 Illegals at Once in ‘Largest’ Arrest it’s Ever Made
Border Patrol agents nabbed 424 illegal aliens attempting to cross the border in a single group, marking the largest apprehension in the agency’s history.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, agents encountered a large group of “what seemed to be over 400 illegal aliens” near the border town of Sunland Park, New Mexico, according to a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) press release. The group of mostly Central American families and unaccompanied minors reached the border shortly after midnight.

Over 80 Percent of Somali Migrants Are on Welfare in Switzerland
New data was gathered and released by both the Federal Statistical Office and the State Secretariat for Migration and shows that the 4,000 or so Somalis in Switzerland are by far the most prone to being on government benefits with 83.7 percent relying on state income, Breitbart reports.
While Somalis are by far and wide the largest recipients of welfare, several other nationalities also have rates of over 50 percent, such as Eritreans at 54.7 percent and Angolans at 54 per cent.

Sweden: No Deportation for Migrant Who Sexually Assaulted 11 Women in Two Weeks
Nine of the incidents were considered sexual assault while two were considered more serious, with one involving Rendi attempting to push his finger into the anus of one of the victims
Swedish authorities have declined to deport a migrant who sexually assaulted 11 women in less than two weeks.
The man, named as Said Rendi, carried out the attacks between January 28th and February 11th in the city of Uppsala, and is said to have jumped the women from behind and then fled the area while wearing a surgical mask to hide his identity, Nyheter Idagreports.
Mr Rendi was eventually arrested because the car he used is owned by the municipal government, which he uses it to look after a young autistic boy who was with him at the time of his arrest. The car’s GPS coordinates are tracked by the local government and they linked him to all 11 attacks, according to prosecutors.
Nine of the incidents were considered sexual assault while two were considered more serious, with one involving Rendi attempting to push his finger into the anus of one of the victims.

End of April: Still a Time of Fire and Human Sacrifice
The end of April is known as the “most violent time of the year”. Appropriately enough, occult calendars call for fire and human sacrifice during this important 15-day period. This year, the end of April was characterized by the Notre-Dame fire and the horrific church bombings in Sri Lanka. Is the occult agenda being carried out, once again?
To those who know about the occult link between April and fire, the Notre-Dame event was difficult to ignore. And it only took a few hours before theories floated online.
To be honest, when I saw the footage, I immediately thought about the April occult agenda. However, another part of me thought: “This might only be an accident”.
No matter what actually happened, the footage of the fire — and its symbolic meaning — immediately reminded me of images that were posted on this site some years ago.
In the movie 9, a cathedral (which looks like Notre-Dame) is attacked by one-eyed robots and burns down. The scene represented the fall of Christianity and the brink of a new era (read my full article about 9 here). The movie was released on 9/9/9 — exactly 10 years ago.

Former UK Equality Chief: Jo Cox Death Used to Enforce ‘Woke’ Orthodoxy on Multiculturalism
Trevor Phillips, the former head of the Commission for Racial Equality and the Equality and Human Rights Commission which succeeded it, has warned that the death of Jo Cox is being exploited to enforce “woke” orthodoxy on diversity and multiculturalism.
Phillips, himself the son of migrants from British Guiana, as the modern-day county of Guyana then was, warned that the Labour MP’s slaying by a man espousing far-right views is being “used as a way of demanding compliance to a politically ‘woke’ orthodoxy” in an article for UnHerd.

Google Dumps Top Black, Female Conservative for Believing Men Can’t be Women
When I spoke this March at an event sponsored by the Heritage Foundation at the U.N. Convention on the Status of Women, I mentioned to the moderator that it must have seemed odd for Heritage to have invited a liberal feminist to their event as it was for me to be there. I went on to describe how I (and many other women) have been fired, harassed, or no-platformed by the left for disbelieving in gender identity fictions, including the existence of the “female penis.”
As odd as everyone surely feels about those we’ve found ourselves agreeing with, we all seem to have found a lot of common ground on challenging a movement that’s mandating parents go along with the chemical sterilization, or surgical sex organ modification, of all children who discover gender identity on Tumblr, or in a PFLAGgroup, or after a friend at school goes trans. Many people find it curious that such drastic interventions are being proposed for a vaguely defined psychological condition with an ever-expanding list of barely related symptoms.

Kansas Supreme Court Finds Abortion “Right” In State Constitution
The Kansas Supreme Court ruled April 26 that under the state’s constitution women have a right to abort their babies. In its 6-1 decision the state high court declared: “We hold today that section 1 of the Kansas Constitution Bill of Rights protects all Kansans’ natural right of personal autonomy, which includes the right to control one’s own body, to assert bodily integrity, and to exercise self-determination. This right allows a woman to make her own decisions regarding her body, health, family formation, and family life — decisions that can include whether to continue a pregnancy.”
The ruling blocks the implementation of a law, passed by the Kansas legislature in 2015, that bans “dilation and evacuation” abortion, the most common procedure for killing a pre-born baby during a mother’s second trimester of pregnancy. Two abortionists had filed a lawsuit against the bill shortly after its passage, arguing, reported CNN, “that the bill limits access to the ‘safest’ procedure for a second-trimester abortion and violates the Kansas Constitution by infringing on ‘inalienable natural rights, specifically, the right to liberty.’“
A lower court ruled in favor of the abortion doctors, putting in place a “temporary” injunction that has kept the bill from being enforced since its passage.
In appealing that ruling to the state supreme court, the state attorney general conceded that the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling “protects” a woman’s right to abort her baby, but argued that such a right does not follow in Kansas’ constitution.

The Esoteric Interpretation of the Movie “9”: Heralding the Age of Horus
Warning: Gigantic spoilers ahead!
9 takes place in a dark, post-apocalyptic world where intelligent, self-reproducing machines destroyed all life on Earth. In this desolate setting, a small relic of humanity remains: Nine rag dolls animated by a scientist’s soul. These dolls, however, are constantly targeted by the machines that are determined to eradicate anything resembling life on Earth. The dolls must, therefore, band together to fight and destroy these evil robots.
The above paragraph pretty much sums up the plot of 9 in its entirety — and that is probably what most viewers got out of the movie. However, like all works infused with an esoteric dimension, there is more to the movie than meets the eye. Through symbolism and references, the movie describes humanity as a whole and the transitional phase it is going through. More precisely, 9 describes the world as seen by occult secret societies and the “new age” they are all predicting: the Age of Horus or the Age the Aquarius.
Before we look at the movie, let’s look at the occult philosophy behind it…
However, once one understands the background knowledge used to build the storyline, the occult references, and the movie’s overarching philosophy, it is easy to see an entirely different dimension to the movie. 9 is about humanity going through a transitional period, embracing a Promethean/Luciferian savior, and destroying the rule of traditional powers, such as religion.

Houses of worship, instead of the safe havens they should be, have become targets.

and clicked on this link

and found you there marked as conspiracy and unreliable. Funny thing is I also looked at Alex Jones’s
infowars.com and prisonplanet.com
inforwars was marked as fake, conspiracy, unreliable but prisonplanet was marked as
conspiracy only. It is the simplest indicator of the quality of work they do when basically the same website gets two different critiques.
Thanks for letting us know. It’s like winning a Pulitzer Prize or something, as far as I’m concerned, to get listed on a site like that.
Looks like they have gotten nervous and removed this list. If they issue a new one, hopefully they will include themselves at the top of the list.
