Record 24,000 Migrant Children Caught at Border in December–In Just First Three Weeks

Customs and Border Patrol have apprehended a record number of migrant children at the Southern border in December–24,000–with one more week to go in a month that has seen two children from Guatemala die in custody after falling ill after being brought illegally into the U.S. by their fathers.

Caravan of migrant families on the march to the U.S., October 2018.

ABC News reporter Matt Gutman noted the stunning number of children pouring across the border in a report on the death of an 8-year-old Guatemalan boy, Felipe Gómez Alonzo, on Christmas Eve, “.@CBP launching an internal investigation after 2nd child died in its custody in less than 3 weeks. The @CDCgov has been notified amidst a record number of children crossing the border this month – 24k. What the agency’s commissioner told me, now on @GMA“

24,000 adults would make a good sized town by themselves. 24,000 children is at least a dozen or more school buildings plus all the welfare and government funded care that minors are entitled to just for being here.

Many of the children are unaccompanied by an adult, but most are part of “family units”. Statistics posted by CBP for the Southwestern region show over 100,000 family units and unaccompanied children were caught in the first two months of FY 2019, October and November. UACs averaged about 5,000 for those two months. The number of migrant FUs averaged 24,000. That 24,000 children have been caught in the first three weeks of December is staggering and is overwhelmng the ability of the government to process and take care of the migrants–(classic Cloward-Piven strategy in action.) Because logistics and overcrowding the Guatemalan boy was moved with his father to several CBP facilities after they were caught on December 18 before he took ill.

CBP definition of FUs: “Family Unit represents the number of individuals (either a child under 18 years old, parent or legal guardian) apprehended with a family member by the U.S. Border Patrol.”

CBP released a timeline of the Guatemalan boy’s apprehension and medical care, aong with updated guidelines for children in CBP custody. The CBP statement can be read here.)

Ukraine army’s Chechen allies openly admit having Islamic State links – report

Islamic State-trained militants are fighting alongside a state army in a European country, the Times reports – but that detail is buried in an article talking about how Putin is a common enemy of Ukrainians and Chechens.

Framed as an inside look at what’s driving Chechens to join Kiev’s “anti-terrorist operation” against the breakaway republics in the east of Ukraine, the Times article has a few juicy quotes from one Mansur, a member of a voluntary battalion made up of Chechens.

Putin is our common enemy… He brings only evil.

Author and veteran anti-Putin writer Marc Bennetts echoes the official message of Kiev and its Western allies, calling the eastern Ukrainian rebels “Kremlin-backed” and claiming Moscow is “preparing a full-scale invasion.”

He also mentions, once, midway through the text, that some of the Chechen fighters in Ukraine admit having trained with Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Iraq and Syria. Kiev, he writes, has no official links to them, but has been criticized for turning a blind eye to their actions.

Formalities out of the way, the article gets on with more important things such as how the “Kremlin-installed” leader Ramzan Kadyrov is not representative of the Chechen people.

“We want the world to know that it wasn’t Chechens who attacked Ukraine but the Kremlin,” it quotes Mansur as saying. “Kadyrov and the Chechen people are very different things.”

Kadyrov, a vocal, over-the-top supporter of Putin and Russia’s fight against global terrorism, is not a popular figure in the West – he has been accused of human rights violations, blacklisted by the US, and generally described as Putin’s “attack dog.”

The Chechen battalion in Ukraine – known as the Sheikh Mansur battalion – operates effectively outside the law. Its leader, Muslim Cheberloevsky, says it’s not subordinate to the army or the police – which is a legal requirement for any paramilitary organization in the country.

Still, in a 2017 interview he spoke about having a great relationship with Kiev’s forces: “If there are difficulties in one area or another, they call us, and we help.”

This isn’t the first time that the Sheikh Mansur battalion’s links to IS have surfaced. In September, Ukraine extradited one of the group’s fighters to Russia, where he was wanted by the FSB for fighting on side of IS in Syria. Ukrainian nationalists, including some lawmakers, were outraged by Kiev’s decision to surrender an ally to the “aggressor country.”

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian army is set to receive $250mn worth of military aid from the US in 2019 – and with a history of the Pentagon losing track of weapon supplies and American arms turning up in terrorist hands, it will take close oversight – and, more importantly, willingness – on Washington’s part to prevent some of that aid from ending up with Kiev’s unofficial, IS-linked allies.

Connecticut parents now required by law to vaccinate children against flu by Dec. 31

Connecticut parents of pre-K children are required to vaccinate their children against the flu if they want to go to school in the fall — and have until Dec. 31 to complete the treatment.

What are the details?

According to WTNH-TV, the State Department of Public Health in Connecticut is requiring that children between the ages of 2 and 4 years old receive their annual flu shot by the end of December.

If parents refuse to vaccinate their children against the flu, those children will not be able to attend school until they obtain the flu shot. The state does offer a religious exemption.

According to the station, 20,000 U.S. children under the age of 5 contract the flu and are hospitalized as a result every year.

Both the Department of Public Health and local health departments are offering free or low-cost clinics to Connecticut residents — as well as children — to obtain their annual flu shots.

What else?

WVIT-TV reported that 151 Connecticut residents tested positive for the flu, and 55 of that number were hospitalized as a result of the diagnosis. So far this season, Connecticut has seen one flu-related death.

In a statement, Dr. Raul Pino, who is commissioner of the DPH, said, "The best protection against the flu is to get vaccinated. I strongly encourage all residents to get a flu shot, if they haven't already — now is the perfect time."

He added, "While we do not yet know how severe this flu season will be, last year's was the worst flu season in many, many years. Last season, we had over 14,000 people test positive for flu, more than 3,800 individuals hospitalized due to flu, and more than 180 deaths associated with the flu."

Public health officials have issued a recommendation that adults and children over the age of 6 months get vaccinated against the flu.

Israel’s airstrikes on Syria threatened 2 civilian flights landing in Beirut & Damascus – Russia

Russia’s Defense Ministry has said Israel carried out airstrikes on Syrian targets as two civilian flights were landing in Beirut and Damascus, putting passengers at risk.

The Israeli military put two civilian airliners in immediate danger, Igor Konashenkov, the Defense Ministry spokesman, told reporters. “Provocative acts by the Israeli Air Force endangered two passenger jets when six of their F-16s carried out airstrikes on Syria from Lebanese airspace.”

The IDF’s F-16 flew in as civilian jets were landing at Beirut and Damascus airport. The Syrian military didn’t deploy surface-to-air missiles and electronic jamming “to prevent a tragedy” and let Damascus air traffic control divert one of the passenger jets to a reserve airport in Khmeimim.

The Israeli Air Force used as many as 16 US-made laser-guided GBU-39 bombs, but only two of them reached their targets. Most were intercepted by Syria’s air defenses, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

Two precision munitions hit a logistics compound 7km away from Damascus, injuring three personnel there.

The statement largely confirmed a previous report by Syria’s state-run news agency SANA that went public overnight. Israel has not confirmed the strikes, but reported that the IDF activated its air defense systems to shoot down a Syrian anti-aircraft missile.

Head of IDF's International Media Branch has refused to comment on the allegations to Russian media.

Israel repeatedly carried out strikes on targets on Syrian soil that it regards as threats to its security. Damascus blasts those strikes as illegitimate acts of aggression and has threatened not to let them go unanswered.

Syrian airspace has seen a number of dangerous incidents. In September, a tragic sequence of events led to the downing of a Russian surveillance Il-20 plane, which killed all 15 crew on board. The plane was shot down by Syrian air defense units as Israel’s F-16s effectively used it as cover during the attack on its neighbor.

Israel firmly denied any culpability.

EU - Judge Orders Belgian State To Repatriate Children Of IS-Fighters In Syria

In a verdict that could have severe repercussions for governments across western Europe, a Brussels judge ordered the Belgian state today to start repatriating the 6 children of former IS-fighters who are currently living in a Kurdish refugee camp in Syria.

As children to a Belgian mother, the judge ordered the state to pay €5,000 for every day that it fails to do so, with a maximum fine of €1,000,000.

Germany, the UK, France and Holland all have children of nationals living in those camps and it can be expected that their nationals will now launch a similar court case.

Brussels

The Brussels judge-judge has decided today that the wives of IS-fighters, Ms Tatiana Wielandt (26) and Ms Bouchra Abouallal (25) and their six children will have to be repatriated to Belgium. The mothers, who hail from the Belgian town of Borgerhout are stuck with their children in the Kurdish camp Al-Hol and had launched court cases via an NGO.

ICE Releases Hundreds of Migrants in Texas over Christmas

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released hundreds of migrants in El Paso, Texas over the past few days, including 186 on Christmas Day.

The local CBS affiliate reported that ICE has released 400 migrants.

Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), who lost his Senate bid to incumbent Republican Ted Cruz, is cited in the story as being instrumental in making sure ICE informs city officials of impending releases.

“As a result, nonprofits were a bit more prepared for the large intake,” CBS4 reported.

“They’re coming from immigration cells, so they’re coming hungry, they’re coming thirsty, most haven’t bathed in a long time. The situation is really difficult for them,” Dylan Corbett, executive director of Hope Border Institute, said in the CBS4 story.

The report also includes comments from “Ingrid,” who is from Honduras and brought her 4-year-old son with her to the U.S. border.

“I mean, it’s unreal, like a dream,” Ingrid said. “They gave us clothes, food, everything. I really didn’t expect this, thank you so much.”

The CBS4 report included a statement from ICE:

After decades of inaction by Congress, the government remains severely constrained in its ability to detain and promptly remove families with no legal basis to remain in the U.S. To mitigate the risk of holding family units past the timeframe allotted to the government, ICE has curtailed reviews of post-release plans from families apprehended along the southwest border. ICE continues to work with local and state officials and NGO partners in the area so they are prepared to provide assistance with transportation or other services.

O’Rourke tweeted his support for hundreds of undocumented people into American communities.

The CBS4 story includes photos of children eating Christmas cookies and candy.

Japan to resume commercial whaling in 2019, defying decades-old intl moratorium

Following years of “scientific” whaling, Japan’s whalers will resume commercial operations in 2019, according to a government decision. It defies a 1986 international moratorium on hunting endangered species.

Tokyo has decided to leave the International Whaling Commission (IWC), meaning that Japanese whalers will be able to resume commercial hunting for the first time in over 30 years. Japan will officially inform the IWC of its decision by year’s end and the withdrawal will come into effect by June 30.

Yoshihide Suga, chief cabinet secretary, assured the public that commercial whaling “will be limited to Japan’s territorial waters and exclusive economic zones.” He said the country’s ships will not hunt in the Antarctic or in the southern hemisphere, which was the main source of concern for Australia.

The announcement was not surprising, as it comes after the IWC declined Japan’s request to allow its fishermen to hunt minke and other whales protected by the organization. But environmentalists accused Tokyo of using a “sneaky” timing to avoid condemnation.

“It’s clear that the government is trying to sneak in this announcement at the end of year, away from the spotlight of international media, but the world sees this for what it is,” Greenpeace Japan said in a statement.

It warned that high-end technology led to overfishing in Japanese waters and high seas, resulting in “the depletion of many whale species.” Most whale populations have not yet recovered, the NGO said, adding that the list includes “larger whales such as blue whales, fin whales and sei whales.”

From a technological point of view, modern-day whaling involves using explosive harpoons. The projectile is typically launched from cannon, penetrating the whale’s hide and exploding. Whalers usually target the head of a whale, inflicting heavy brain damage and knocking the giant mammal out, or instantly killing it.

British Foreign Secretary Orders Commission To Investigate Christian Persecution

British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt announced this week that he has ordered the creation of a new commission to investigate the persecution of Christians worldwide and how England can work to relieve the issue.

Bishop of Truro, the Rt Reverend Philip Mounstephen, has been tasked with leading the new group. Sky News reports that the commission has three goals:

Mapping the persecution of Christians in "key countries" in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Provide an "objective analysis" of the level of UK governmental support on offer.

Provide recommendations for a "cohesive and comprehensive policy response.”

In an op-ed written in the Telegraph, Hunt explained that while attending his local church, he came to the realization that “others around the world are facing death, torture and imprisonment for that very right.”

“It is distressingly poignant at Christmas to hear recent warnings that the persecution facing Christians across the globe is now most stark in the region of its birth,” he wrote, describing how the Middle East was at one time twenty percent Christian and now has shrunk to a disturbing five percent. He also cited the case of Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Catholic woman in hiding from radical Muslims after being acquitted of violating blasphemy laws, as an inspiration for the commission.

“Whatever the cause, we must never allow a misguided political correctness to inhibit our response to the persecution of any religious community,” he continued. “It is not in our national character to turn a blind eye to suffering. All religious minorities must be protected and the evidence demonstrates that in some countries, Christians face the greatest risk. We should be willing to state that simple fact - and adjust our policies accordingly.”

The commission has been met with praise from Hunt's fellow Tories. Berwick-upon-Tweed MP Anne-Marie Trevelyan tweeted her support. “Thank you to @Jeremy_Hunt instituting a review of persecution of Christians around the world,” she tweeted.

Scotland MEP Nosheena Mobarik echoed those sentiments on social media, saying, “Over 700,000 Rohingya people have crossed into Bangladesh to flee persecution in the last year. I thoroughly support @jeremy_hunt in his quest to bring the perpetrators of ethnic cleansing to justice.”

This comes on the heels of reports that the Christian population in the Middle East “has dropped to less than 250,000,” as highlighted by the Daily Wire’s Paul Bois. This is one of the regions Hunt’s commission will focus on.

According to a study by the watchdog group Open Doors, an organization that maps suffering of Christians globally, many Middle Eastern countries are marked "Extreme" or "Very High" on their "World Watch List" rankings when it comes to persecution.

Asia Bibi's home country of Pakistan is listed as number five in the top ten worst countries for Christians to live.

“While long-standing historic churches have relative freedom in worship and religious activities, they are heavily monitored and regularly targeted for bomb attacks,” Open Doors reported. “Churches that are engaged in outreach and youth work face the worst of the persecution, although all Christians suffer from institutionalized discrimination. Occupations deemed as “dirty” and “shameful” are reserved for Christians, and many believers are victims of bonded labor. Pakistan’s notorious blasphemy laws target religious minorities but affect Christians the most, especially those who seek to evangelize.”

German Supreme Court Rejects Anti-Child Marriage Law as Unconstitutional

The German Federal Supreme Court has made a new ruling on a child marriage case which could have implications on the way child marriages conducted legally overseas are treated in the country.

The ruling comes from a case involving a Syrian man who was separated from his underage “wife” when the pair arrived in Germany as asylum seekers in August 2015, Die Welt reports.

The pair, cousins, were married in February 2015 while the man was aged 21 and the girl aged only 14 in a marriage procedure that was done under sharia legally in Syria but was considered invalid by German authorities where the marriage age was 16 at the time.

Swedish State TV: Virgin Mary cloned herself, and Jesus was transgender

The birth of Jesus, which is celebrated on Christmas Day, occurred without his having a biological father. State owned SVT, however, has solved the mystery of the virgin birth.

Jesus or Virgin Mary may have been transsexual, they reason. Was Jesus born as a girl? SVT asks and believes they have found support for that theory in science.

SVT’s claim is not the Biblical account of the virgin birth, but that Mary became pregnant with Joseph or someone else. But the highly biased, left-wing channel has launched a more gender-modern theory:

A phenomenon known as parthenogenesis. It occurs among algae, fish and frogs and means that an embryo develops without fertilisation. The offspring then becomes genetically identical to the mother – which means that it must have the same gender.

As both the name and pronoun of Jesus are described as male in the scriptures, it can also be concluded that Jesus was a transvestite / transsexual according to the channel.

SVT also theorises about another possibility – that Mary was a man who lived as a woman and with parthenogenesis gave birth to Jesus, who was thus also a man.

How the man Mary got her female genitals and her uterus to breed, carry and give birth to the little boy child Jesus or his brothers, SVT does not explain.

A corresponding analysis of Muhammad’s relationship with 6-year-old Aisha during Eid al-adha or Ramadan is not very probable.

Don’t Worry About Fertility Falling Because Immigration and A.I. Will Replace the Unborn, Says Academic

An academic has hailed mass migration and the coming artificial intelligence revolution as reasons not to fear plummeting fertility rates in Western countries, wherein most it has long stood below replacement rate.

Oxford University academic Sarah Harper’s views that falling fertility should be a “cause for celebration” were profiled by British left-wing newspaper The Guardian, which reported that changes in society meant Western countries no longer had to worry about growing or even sustaining their populations.

The former Royal Institution director said nations wishing to sustain themselves was “really old thinking”, and praised German Chancellor Angela Merkel as a world leader who had found a way to grow their country without having to resort to citizens having their own children.

Speaking of the migrant crisis which Dr Merkel triggered by throwing open her own borders — and by proxy the borders of the European Union as well — Harper said: “I believe that one of the reasons why Angela Merkel took the million refugees was because she desperately needed to boost her working population.”

As well as mass migration, the academic pointed to artificial intelligence, which she believes will render many human occupations obsolete in the future, as a reason to celebrate falling birth rates.

Harper said: “What we should be saying is no, [a declining total fertility rate] is actually really good because we were terrified 25 years ago that maximum world population was going to be 24[billion]… A smaller number of highly educated people in the knowledge economy of Europe will vastly outweigh increasing our population because automation is going to take over many of the tasks.”

Canadian Imam says ‘Wishing Christians a Merry Christmas is worse than murder’

A Canadian imam has said Muslims who congratulate Christians for the Christmas holiday are committing crimes worse than adultery and murder.

During a sermon in British Columbia, Sheikh Younus Kathrada said he viewed with “great sadness” his fellow Muslims’ casual treatment of the “false holiday.”

He also asserted that Muslims “must be offended” by Christians’ beliefs.

“There are those who will say to them “Merry Christmas.” What are you congratulating them on?” he asked. “Congratulations on the birth of your Lord? Is that acceptable to a Muslim? Are you now approving of their beliefs? By saying that you are approving of it.”

He then claimed that “If a person were to commit every major sin – committing adultery, dealing with interest, lying, murder… they are nothing compared to the sin of congratulating and greeting the non-Muslims on their false festivals.”

Kathrada was quick to note that he did not mean Muslims should “treat the non-Muslims in a bad way or that we deal with them unjustly”.

“I’m not saying, and I’ve never said, go out and just kill them, and do this to them… No! Because Allah tells us not to allow the enmity that may exist between you and a people to cause you to be unjust towards them. Rather, be just.”

Foreign Ministry: The Israeli assault on Syria is blatant violation of UNSC resolutions

Damascus, SANA – Syria stressed on Wednesday that the Israeli aggression on its territories is a blatant violation of UNSC Resolution No. 350 for the year 1974 on Separation of Forces Agreement, as this aggression comes in the framework of the constant Israeli attempts to prolong the crisis in Syria and the war of terrorism and to raise the morale of the remnants of terrorists.

In two identical letters sent to the UN Secretary General and Head of the Security Council, Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said that authorities of the Israeli occupation launched on 25th of December, 2018 a new assault on territories of the Syrian Arab Republic in a flagrant violation of UNSC Resolution NO. 350 through targeting several military and civil positions in Damascus and its countryside with missiles, adding that the assault coincided with a time when streets were crowded with civilians celebrating Christmas for the first time after Damascus and its countryside were cleaned of terrorism.

The Ministry continued to say that the attempts of the authorities of the Israeli occupation to terrify the Syrian people in a holy day constitutes conclusive evidence that what “Israel” is doing is not different from what the terrorist organizations of Daesh and Jabhat al-Nusra do, as the authorities of the Israeli occupation has moved to a new stage practicing the terror of state directly after its agents (the terrorist groups) were defeated.

The Ministry continued to say that the Syrian Arab Republic stresses that Israel would not have continued to take its dangerous and aggressive approach without the continuous unlimited support by the US Administration.

The Ministry concluded by saying that Syria demands the UN Security Council all over again to assume its responsibilities in keeping international peace and security and adopting prompt and firm measures to prevent the repetition of the Israeli attacks, as it demands it to obligate “Israel” to respect its resolutions related to Separation of Forces Agreement.

Lindsey Graham: We Either Fight in the Terrorists’ Backyard or America’s Backyard

Wednesday CNN aired an interview with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) during his Christmas trip to Afghanistan.

During that interview, he explained his concerns about pulling U.S. troops out of the Middle East where they are fighting against radical Islamic terrorists.

Graham said, “I cannot stress enough to the people back home that this is yet another Christmas that the soldiers are in Afghanistan. And the reason they are here is so you can enjoy your Christmas. They all know what would happen to this place if we left too soon. It would be an absolute disaster and the biggest winners are the people who do not have our best interest at heart.”

He continued, “You are going to fight this war with radical Islam whether you want to or not. The question is in whose backyard? I choose the terrorists’ backyard versus America’s backyard. I choose to do it with partners. The Afghans have been good partners. If you pull the plug here you will never have a partner anywhere else.”

Fuck you traitor, 'whether YOU like it or not'!

Israel’s IDF Used Passenger Airliners as Cover During Christmas Day Attack on Damascus

Yesterday, Israel carried out an unprovoked Christmas Day attack against Syria. According to reports citing the Russian Ministry of Defense, six Israeli F16 fighters violated neighboring Lebanese airspace and while passing over Sidon, fired 16 laser-guided GBU-39 bombs towards targets in and around the capital city of Damascus, 14 of which were intercepted by Syrian air defense systems.

More shocking details were revealed today, as the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that the IDF jets flew in to firing position – just as two civilian passenger airliners were in the air preparing for their landings into both Beirut and Damascus airports.

As a result, Syrian military defense units did not deploy its surface-to-air missiles and electronic jamming “to prevent a tragedy” and instead allowed Damascus air traffic control divert one of its passenger flights to an emergency destination at Khmeimim in Latakia.

Israel’s IDF would have been fully aware of these passenger airline flights, and therefore would have specifically chosen this exact position and timing in order to carry out their air operation against Syria. Based on this, one can logically conclude then that the IDF placed those civilian flight in danger, and that the Israeli military used those civilian airline flights as cover to increase their odds of executing a successful military airstrike.

In an official statement to the press today, Russian Defense spokesman Igor Konashenkov stated:

“Provocative acts by the Israeli Air Force endangered two passenger jets when six of their F-16s carried out airstrikes on Syria from Lebanese airspace.”

Had the Syrian military not hesitated, and engaged the initial Israeli bogey – and accidentally hit one of the passenger airliners the IDF was using as cover – the international outrage would have been substantial, with the western media most certainly blaming ‘the Assad Regime’ and ‘Putin’s Russia’ for the ‘humanitarian tragedy.’ It’s possible that an incident would have been enough to prompt renewed calls for the US forces to remain in Syria – effectively reversing the announcement made by President Trump last week to withdrawal US troops from their illegal occupation on northeastern Syria. Whether this was the Israeli motive for carrying out such a risky move is uncertain, but yesterday’s reckless incident by Israel follows a familiar and disturbing pattern of using other country’s aircraft as cover in order bait Syria’s air defenses to hit the wrong targets while conveniently concealing their own visibility on their enemy’s radar systems.

Suicide bombers, militants attack Libya's foreign ministry in Tripoli

Suicide attackers stormed the Libyan foreign ministry in the capital Tripoli on Tuesday, killing at least three people including a senior civil servant in an attack claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.

A further 21 people were wounded in the attack, authorities said.

A car bomb exploded near the ministry, prompting security forces to rush to the scene, said special forces spokesman Tarak al-Dawass.

A suicide bomber then blew himself up on the second floor of the building while a second attacker died when a suitcase he was carrying exploded, he said.

A third assailant, who was unarmed and wearing a bulletproof vest, was killed by security forces outside, Dawass added.

Foreign Minister Tahar Siala said one of the dead was senior diplomat Ibrahim al-Shaibi who headed a department in his ministry.

Plumes of smoke were seen rising from the building as ambulances, paramedics and security forces gathered outside.

Libya 'out of control'

The IS group claimed the attack in a statement distributed on social media, saying that it was carried out by three "soldiers of the caliphate" who were armed with suicide belts and automatic weapons.

Interior Minister Fathi Bash Agha admitted during a news conference that "security chaos" reigned in Libya and that the country was "out of our control".

He said this was creating a "fertile ground" for the IS group to operate in the North African country, although he did not actually name the jihadists as being responsible for the "terrorist" attack. Furthermore, there has been no immediate claims of responsibility for the assault.

Bayer Stock Crashes After Monsanto Cancer Verdict Upheld By Judge; Analyst Estimates $800 Billion In Future Liability

Remember the news about how Bayer bought Monsanto, the company most known for its use of GMOs? Now they are paying for it!

The leadership of Bayer were greedy and didn’t think about consequences when buying Monsanto. They didn’t consider its true reliability at all. Today, they are fifty-seven billion Euros of cap market down the drain. They have some problems to deal with, to say the least.

Superior Court Judge Ruled That Bayer-Monsanto Is Guilty

They’ve been waiting for the news about how San Francisco Superior Court Judge Suzanne Ramos Bolanos would rule in a certain case. Would she rule against or in favor of Bayer’s appeal of the Monsanto Cancer Verdict?

The case was finally resolved Tuesday morning. Judge Suzanne Ramos Bolanos upheld the jury’s decision, ruling that Roundup – a dangerous glyphosate-based weedkiller sold by Monsanto – lead to California man’s terminal cancer. She also ruled that Monsanto, in fact, intentionally hid the potential dangers of the weedkiller. (1)

Bayer had to know that such news would result in serious damage to the company. As the news of Judge Ramon Bolanos’ ruling spread like wildfire, it, of course, affected the stock market as well. The ruling resulted in an immediate crash in Bayer’s stock value.

This Is Sending A Powerful Message To The Industry

Did this only affect Bayer? Not necessarily. The news is sending a powerful message to the entire Agrochemical industry that they cannot walk away without taking responsibility. They are not innocent, but legally and financially responsible for any adverse effects, harms, and dangers that are the result of their dangerous products. The EPA, USDA, and FDA are all responsible for giving a regulatory pass for Roundup or similar dangerous ingredients. (2)

The original total of punitive damage was $289 million earlier this summer. However, the judge decided to reduce it to $78.5 million. While the current amount is still very high, there is one concern. The higher the award amount is, the clearer message the ruling sends to Monsanto and anyone involved. The higher the award is, the more they may understand that they completely deserve the punishment for covering up the dangers of their deadly herbicide.

Illegal Land Grab and Human Rights Abuses in the Congo

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF), one of the world’s biggest conservation organizations, is breaking the law in its backing of a conservation zone in the Congo Basin, according to letters released today.

The letters demonstrate that the new protected area, known as Messok Dja, is being created without the free, prior and informed consent of the people who rely on that land for survival, members of the Baka and Bakwele tribes.

The letters also document human rights abuses committed by ecoguards funded and supported by WWF.

According to national and international law, indigenous people must give consent for any project affecting their lands, territories, and resources. Without the consent of the people who rely on the land for survival, the establishment of Messok Dja park is illegal.

Over a hundred people from six villages in Republic of Congo have signed the letters, which also describe horrific violence and abuse by ecoguards funded and supported by WWF.

What is Globalism? Globalism is Neoliberalism which is Corporatism

The term Globalism has been around from at least the 1960’s but its origins come from Cecil Rhodes Round Tables which were set up around 1900 as a mechanism for Rhodes and his allies from the British and South African Oligarchs to take over the world.

The CFR and Chatham House (Royal Institute for International Affairs) were set up in the 1920’s.

The Bilderberg group held its first meeting in 1954 at the Bilderberg Hotel.

The Trilateral Commission was set up by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski in the mid 1970’s.

Globalism is another term for Neoliberalism, which is another term for Corporatism.

It is principally pushed by Neoliberal wealthy elites who pretend to be lefties, but are actually Corporatists or Corporate Fascists.

The principal protagonists are George Soros, the Rothschilds and the Rockefeller family.

Globalism

The aim of Globalism is to transfer all power and wealth from ordinary people to a handful of Banking Elites, Oligarchs and major Corporate CEO’s. The ultimate aim is to set up an anti democratic, authoritarian one world government where ordinary people are effectively serfs and have no say, in a system of Neo-Feudalism. We are very nearly already there.

This is being constantly carried out by transferring ever increasing powers from elected local governments to massive governmental Super States, such as the EU or the Federal government in Washington DC.

A great example of a Globalist policy was Obama’s Corporate Power Grab TPP and TTIP, Corporate protectionist deals, which transferred power from elected legislatures to transnational tribunals staffed by Corporate lawyers acting as Judge and Jury.

TPP, TISA and TTIP agreements are massive Corporate power grabs dressed up as trade deals

Satanists Wage War on Christmas By Erecting Statue That Mocks Jesus

The Chicago chapter of the Satanic Temple has erected a “Snaketivity” statue next to the large Christmas tree in the Illinois Statehouse rotunda.

When we think of the War on Christmas, it’s often people being being politically correct about certain language or words, but this group literally represents the polar opposite of the reason for the season.

The statue features a hand holding an apple with a snake wrapped around the hand, an obvious representation of the temptation in the Garden of Eden from the Old Testament. The Satanist display is not only close to the Christmas tree, but also a Nativity scene and a Hanukkah menorah.

The title of the Satanic display is “Knowledge Is The Greatest Gift,” which is meant to mock Christianity.

Fluoride is a neurotoxin that damages your brain

For many people, fluoride has become a fact of life. The addition of fluoride to public water supplies en masse has made avoiding exposure to this toxin very difficult. While proponents of fluoride say that this “mineral” is essential for dental health, the truth is that fluoride is not an essential nutrient. Human beings do not need to consume fluoride to be healthy — and in fact, you are much better off without it.

While it is true that fluoride can be found in the Earth’s crust, the fluoride used in dental products and tap water is not derived from the Earth. Instead, water fluoridation relies on chemicals known as “silicofluorides.” These are byproducts of the phosphate fertilizer industry — and municipalities nationwide allow these chemicals to be dumped into the water supply for the explicit purpose of human consumption.

Fluoride is not the benign substance overzealous globalists would like for you to believe; it is a dangerous, neurotoxic substance that has been decried as a “soft kill” tactic of the global elite. At the very least, it’s a documented threat to human health.

Fluoride is toxic to your brain

While the CDC claims that water fluoridation is “one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century,” science shows that simply isn’t true. The CDC’s own data have shown that water fluoridation is contributing to increased rates of dental fluorosis (DF). In mild cases, DF appears as nothing more than white spots on the teeth, but more advanced cases can be disfiguring with severe damage to the tooth enamel. Statistics from 2004 indicate that 41 percent of adolescents aged 12 to 15 have dental fluorosis — a 400 percent increase in just 60 years.
