Mall maul nothing much, authorities report

(Editor’s note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.) Videos linked or embedded may contain foul language and violence. The black mob violence at Fort Lauderdale over the Memorial Day weekend was nothing… View Article

Is the NSA actually Blackmail Inc.

            (NaturalNews) Every director of the NSA is a general or an admiral. The  NSA is organized under the US Dept. of Defense. Imagine that you are a  powerful player who straddles two worlds—the Dept. of Defense and the private  sector where corporate defense-contractors live and flourish. You’ve  served many times in both arenas. Your name is Mr. Military Industrial  Complex. Your mission is war. The reasons for war don’t matter.  Reasons can be invented at the drop of a hat. You want endless armed  conflict. That’s how you make your money. That’s how you… View Article

UK government bans GMOs from its own Parliament restaurants while telling public to embrace GMO’s

                (NaturalNews) Since the mid-to-late 1990s when genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) were first being thrust onto the market by governments working in lockstep with the biotechnology industry, the U.K. Parliament has effectively barred their use in all food items served to government officials at Parliament restaurants, according to new reports. This, despite the fact that prominent elected officials in the U.K. are right now pushing GMOs on a public that is largely opposed to them, effectively shining the spotlight on their own insane hypocrisy with regards to the GMO issue. As recently reported by… View Article

NSA can obtain one billion cell phone calls a day, store them and listen

      The NSA has a “brand new” technology that enables one billion cell phone calls to be redirected into its data hoards, according to the Guardian’s Glen Greenwald, who told a Chicago conference that a new leak of Snowden’s documents was ‘coming soon.’ Calling it part of a “globalized system to destroy all  privacy,” and the enduring creation of a climate of fear,  Greenwald outlined the capabilities of the NSA to store every  single call while having “the capability to listen to them at  any time,” while speaking via Skype to the Socialism  Conference in Chicago, on Friday….

Students: Professor forced us to wear ‘gay’ ribbons

                  Several students are demanding a Tennessee community college psychology  professor be disciplined for persistently pushing her pro-”gay” views on her  students and even forcing students to identify themselves as in favor of the  LGBT agenda in a mandatory project. The Alliance Defense Fund is representing the students who objected to the  classroom tactics of Columbia State Community College professor Linda Brunton.  The students say any views opposed to Brunton’s were not welcome, and any  opposition to the homosexual agenda was considered to be the thinking of  “uneducated bigots” who “attack homosexuals… View Article

Canadian Mounties Exploit Flood to Confiscate Firearms from Citizens

  Canada’s Royal Mounted Police exploited rising flood waters in the town of High River in Calgary as they seized firearms from the homes of evacuated residents. The floods were the result of extremely heavy rain. On Thursday, according to the Calgary Herald, the RCMP confiscated a “substantial amount” of firearms under the pretext of controlling the weapons and storing them for safekeeping. “We just want to make sure that all of those things are in a spot that we control, simply because of what they are,” said Sgt.

Senators Ask if NSA Collected Gun Data

                          Senators are questioning whether the National Security Agency collected bulk data on more than just Americans’ phone records, such as firearm and book purchases. A bipartisan group of 26 senators, led by Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) asked Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to detail the scope and limits of the National Security Agency’s surveillance activities in a letter released Friday. “We are concerned that by depending on secret interpretations of the PATRIOT Act that differed from an intuitive reading of the statute, this program essentially… View Article
