Anarchists threaten to disrupt Trump inauguration, police say ready

By Ian Simpson Anarchist groups have threatened to shut down Republican Donald Trump’s swearing-in as U.S. president, but police in Washington said on Friday they believe the thousands of security officers assigned to the event will be able to head off any disruption. Dozens of activist groups plan to protest the Jan. 20 inauguration of the New York real estate developer, whose supporters are counting on him to fulfill a host of controversial campaign promises including building a wall on the Mexican border and deporting millions of illegal immigrants. Police expect some 900,000 people to flood Washington for the...

An Open Letter to the CIA from the Head of RT, Margarita Simonyan

by Margarita Simonyan This is a translation from the Russian original, which appeared yesterday, Christmas day, (Russian calendar) on Ms. Simonyan’s personal blog.   The author is the head of the Russian global news network RT.com, sometimes referred to by its old name, ‘Russia Today’, and of the Russian global news agency, ‘Sputnik‘. Dear CIA, You get a total F for this thing you wrote. You don’t cover the subject in enough detail, some sources are un-named, and those you do name are either out of date, or simply untrue.  The whole thing reads like something a schoolboy would write...

George Soros’ world is falling apart – and he blames everyone but himself

Bryan MacDonald is an Irish journalist, who is based in Russia George Soros, the Hungarian-born billionaire who has meddled in politics across Europe and North America for decades, is angry. The world he campaigned for is falling apart, and now he’s busy looking for leaders to indict. According to Soros, liberal democracy is failing all across the western world. Apparently, this is because what he calls the “open society” is in crisis. Now, he may very well be right about this, but pinning it on Angela Merkel seems somewhat bizarre. Especially when she is painted as being inadvertently in...

Big Pharma suffers another major blow as study debunks high cholesterol myths, admitting statins are totally worthless

by Julie Wilson It’s been a tough few weeks for Big Pharma, as three major studies have now completely disproved the effectiveness of its most profitable drugs. Last week, a huge study published in The Lancet admitted that the risks of antidepressants in children and teens far outweigh the benefits, as the drugs routinely increase suicidal behavior. Out of 14 antidepressants, only one was shown to improve depression better than the placebo. Now, scientists are reporting that cholesterol drugs, which 15 million Americans are prescribed, are also completely worthless. A group of international researchers published a study in the...

Mass Shootings Under Obama Surge to 246.7% of His Predecessor Bush

by Ryan Saavedra OBAMA’S GUN CONTROL FAILURE This article was originally posted in late December and has been updated to reflect the tragic mass shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Despite his unconstitutional use of executive orders to push gun control, the number of Public Mass Shootings has significantly increased during his Barack Obama’s Presidency as the report below shows. Since President Barack Obama took office in January of 2009, he has taken every opportunity to politicize Public Mass Shootings. Often times he has used highly inflammatory rhetoric in order to advance new gun control legislation. This report measures the number of Public...

Universities warned over ‘snowflake’ student demands

by Camilla Turner Universities will be forced to pander to the demands of “snowflake” students if controversial changes to the ranking system are approved, education leaders have warned. The Government faces a cross-party revolt in the Lords this week over proposed reforms to higher education, which include placing student satisfaction at the heart of a new ranking system. It is feared that this will lead to a “fantastically dangerous” culture where authorities will give in to student demands, however unreasonable they may be. “Safe space” and “no platform” movements have swept across campuses including a campaign to ban Germaine Greer...

Fake News Plus Fascism: New York Times Urges Boycott of Breitbart

by Joel B. Pollak In two op-ed articles for the New York Times‘ Sunday Review, the Gray Lady attacks Breitbart News and its founder, Andrew Breitbart, and encourages an effort to “destroy” the company by appealing directly to advertisers not to support the website. One article, “How to Destroy the Business Model of Breitbart and Fake News,” written by someone actually called “Pagan Kennedy” (was “Antichrist Roosevelt” not available?) celebrates the flagging effort of anonymous Twitter trolls who have tried to target and intimidate companies whose ads appear alongside Breitbart News articles, via third party platforms. These would-be censors of the totalitarian left...

This is a coup: the Homeland Security takeover of US elections

On a scale of importance from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most important, this breaking development is a 500. By Jon Rappoport On Friday, the traditional day of the week for quietly releasing big news that will hopefully be ignored by the public—and also obscured by the Fort Lauderdale Airport shooting—the chief of Homeland Security announced that his office will be taking over US elections. If you can’t see the coup in progress, you need to keep looking until the message comes through. Read carefully—ABC News reports. My comments are in brackets: “Citing increasingly sophisticated cyber bad...

by Jack Montgomery The Attorney-General’s Office (AGO) will not request a prison sentence for a “child migrant” who raped a 5 year-old boy in late 2015, Breitbart London has established.
