Nude Game of Tag Filmed in Nazi Gas Chamber

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jewish Holocaust survivor groups demanded an explanation Wednesday from Poland’s president for a video of a naked game of tag in a Nazi gas chamber.

The video, called “Game of Tag,” was originally displayed in 2015 at Krakow’s Museum of Contemporary Art, and depicts a group of alleged artists playing tag while naked in the gas chamber of the former Nazi death camp Stutthof in Poland, according to Times of Israel (TOI). The museum initially displayed the video without explaining where it was filmed, but the Organization of Holocaust Survivors in Israel sent a letter to Polish President Andrzej Duda demanding an explanation after they found out where it was filmed.

The Jewish organizations that signed the letter demanded to know whether the Polish government had investigated the making of the video and whether the group that filmed the video did “obtain permission from the Stutthof administrators to make this video, what rules exist for proper conduct at the site, how these are enforced,” according to TOI.

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un Ordered Missile Launch, Saying, ‘Fire With Courage’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un ordered his engineers on Tuesday to launch the country’s new intercontinental ballistic missile with “courage” a day ahead of the flight test where it demonstrated its reach deep into the U.S. mainland.

State television on Wednesday broadcast a photo of Kim’s signed order where he wrote: “Test launch is approved. Taking place at the daybreak of Nov. 29! Fire with courage for the party and country!”

North Korea’s state television said that the nuclear-capable intercontinental-ballistic missile that was launched earlier is “significantly more” powerful than the previous weapon and puts the entire United States in its crosshairs.

The report called the weapon a Hwasong 15. The launch was detected after it was fired early Wednesday morning from a site near Pyongyang.

South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, which first reported the launch, said the missile launch happened around 3 a.m. local time in North Korea. South Korea fired pinpoint missiles into nearby waters to make sure North Korea understands it can be “taken under fire” by the South, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said.

Hawaii to Sound Warning Sirens Amid Nuclear Threats From North Korea

By Nicole Darrah. Hawaii will resume sirens this week that will warn of a nuclear attack as tensions with North Korea continue to rise.

The air-raid sirens will begin Dec. 1, and will continue each month as part of a “newly-activated Attack Warning Tone, intended to warn Hawaii residents of an impending nuclear missile attack,” the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency said in a press release Monday.

The warning tone will sound for 50 seconds across the Hawaiian Islands, followed by a pause before an additional 50 seconds of the attack warning tone, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. It will continue on the first business day of each month.

Residents, should they hear the blaring alarm, are urged to “get inside, stay inside and stay tuned.” (Read more from “Hawaii to Sound Warning Sirens Amid Nuclear Threats From North Korea” HERE)

Somali Refugee Who Raped 2 U.S. Women at Knifepoint Walks Free

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s been six years since Somali refugee Mohammed Ali Mohammed, then age 14, sexually assaulted two women at knifepoint on consecutive nights in Salt Lake City.

Mohammed, now just one month from his 21st birthday, attacked one woman who was standing outside of her home on Aug. 14, 2011 . . .

On the following night, the teenager from Somalia broke into another woman’s home and beat her before demanding she go to an ATM and withdraw $400 for him.

Fast-forward to Monday, Nov. 27, 2017. After serving six years in juvenile detention center, Mohammed sat in court and admitted to doing “very, very horrible things” as a teenager . . .

Because he is about to age out of the juvenile system, Judge Vernice Trease had the option of sentencing Mohammed to a term in the Utah State Prison or let him walk free on probation. She chose the latter. (Read more from “Somali Refugee Who Raped 2 U.S. Women at Knifepoint Walks Free” HERE)

Russian Jet Buzzes US Navy Spy Plane Over Black Sea

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Russian Su-30 fighter jet buzzed a Navy reconnaissance plane flying in the Black Sea while conducting a routine patrol in international airspace Saturday, an official told Fox News.

The Russian jet crossed 50 feet in front of the Navy P-8 in full afterburner causing “violent turbulence,” the official said. The provocation lasted 24 minutes.

It appears to be first known incident of this type since June, when an armed Russian fighter jet buzzed a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance aircraft over the Baltic Sea. The Russian Su-27 jet had air-to-air missiles under its wings and approached the U.S. Air Force RC-135 recon jet “rapidly,” coming within 5 feet of the American aircraft, officials said.

Once alongside, the Russian jet was “provocative” in its flight maneuvers and flying “erratically,” according to another official. . .

Multiple U.S Navy F/A-18 jets were dispatched to escort two Russian TU-95 bombers away from the ship currently stationed near North Korea and operating in the Sea of Japan, according to Navy officials. (Read more from “Russian Jet Buzzes US Navy Spy Plane Over Black Sea” HERE)

The Saddam Interrogation: Ten Years After the Tyrant’s Execution, the CIA Agent Who Grilled Him Reveals the Shattering Truth

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Capturing Saddam was all very well, but now we had to get to the truth about his regime, and in particular the weapons of mass destruction that had been the pretext for the invasion. His response was simply to mock us . . .

‘Iraq is not a terrorist nation,’ he said. ‘We did not have a relationship with (Osama) bin Laden, and did not have weapons of mass destruction… and were not a threat to our neighbours. But the American President [George W Bush] said Iraq wanted to attack his daddy and said we had ‘weapons of mass destruction.’

Ignoring his goading, we asked Saddam if he’d ever considered using WMDs pre-emptively against US troops in Saudi Arabia. ‘We never thought about using weapons of mass destruction. It was not discussed. Use chemical weapons against the world? Is there anyone with full faculties who would do this? Who would use these weapons when they had not been used against us?’ . . .

The CIA profile of Saddam suggested he was a chronic liar, yet he could be quite candid. Our perception that he ruled with an iron grip was also mistaken. It became clear from our interrogations that in his final years, Saddam seemed clueless about what had been happening inside Iraq. He was inattentive to what his government was doing, had no real plan for the defence of Iraq and could not comprehend the immensity of the approaching storm . . .

Saddam was quick, too, to deny involvement in 9/11. ‘Look at who was involved,’ he said. ‘What countries did they come from? Saudi Arabia. And this [ringleader] Muhammad Atta, was he an Iraqi? No. He was Egyptian. Why do you think I was involved in the attacks?’ (Read more from “The Saddam Interrogation: Ten Years After the Tyrant’s Execution, the CIA Agent Who Grilled Him Reveals the Shattering Truth” HERE)

Amazon Staff Blast ‘Intolerable’ Conditions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amazon’s staff are falling asleep on their feet and being taken away in ambulances as they struggle to meet warehouse targets, an investigation has claimed.

Cameras monitor every move as employees try to process up to 300 items an hour, it has been alleged. Screens remind them if they are falling short.

Exhausted staff are said to cover clocks so they are not reminded how long there is to go on their shifts, and have to walk up to a third of a mile to use the toilet.

The claims in a newspaper were made about the online retailer’s newest warehouse – which the company refers to as a ‘fulfilment centre’ – in Tilbury, Essex.

The packing plant is the biggest in Europe, the size of 11 football pitches, and is due to ship 1.2million items this year. (Read more from “Amazon Staff Blast ‘Intolerable’ Conditions” HERE)

‘Jesus’ Dropped From Official Prayer

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Jesus” has been banished from a prayer to open New Zealand’s parliamentary sessions.

The traditional prayer for decades has ended with “through Jesus Christ our Lord,” the Christian Post reported.

The Labour Party-led government proposed a new version of the prayer that leaves out Jesus and initiated a consultation process.

But Speaker Trevor Mallard used the prayer before the period of consultation ended.

The Christian Post said an even more radical proposed change to the prayer was rejected by members of the parliament that removed all religious references. (Read more from “‘Jesus’ Dropped From Official Prayer” HERE)

Geologists See 2018 as Year of Monster Quakes

/0 Comments/in , /by

Geophysicists who studied seismic activity over the past 117 years report 2018 could be shaping up as a year of monster earthquakes – especially around the equator . . .

The signal that causes the alarm from a historical pattern, they say, is the slowing of the Earth’s rotation.

The new study, presented at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America, in Seattle, is published in Geophysical Research Letters by geologists Roger Bilham of the University of Colorado, Boulder, and Rebecca Bendick of the University of Montana.

It tracked the incidence of magnitude 7 or greater earthquakes worldwide since 1900, revealing through recent history, such major quakes occur about 15 times per year. Yet, over the last 117 years, there have been evenly spaced intervals in which the annual total jumped to between 25 and 30 . . .

While the researchers caution that 117 years is a relatively short period of time in the history of the Earth, something else caught the attention of the researchers. (Read more from “Geologists See 2018 as Year of Monster Quakes” HERE)

Militants Target Mosque in Egypt

/0 Comments/in , /by

Suspected militants attacked a crowded mosque during a Friday sermon in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, setting off bombs, opening fire on worshippers and killing at least 235 in the deadliest ever attack on Egyptian civilians by Islamic militants, the official MENA news agency reported.

Some 130 people were also wounded, according to the news agency.

The local Islamic State affiliate — Sinai Province — appeared to be responsible for the gruesome incident, in the first attack on a large mosque since the militants began their terror campaign in 2013, the Associated Press reported.

Police said militants in four off-road vehicles carried out the attack during prayers at the al-Rawdah mosque in the town of Bir al-Abd, located 25 miles from the regional capital of el-Arish. The militants stopped people from escaping by blowing up cars and leaving the burning wrecks blocking the roads, police said.

President Abdul Fattah el-Sisi condemned the “criminal” and “cowardly” attack, and said that it “will not go unpunished.” He said the victims’ suffering will only “add to our insistence” to combat terrorism. (Read more from “Militants Target Mosque in Egypt” HERE)

NASA’s ‘Fake News’ About Water on Mars

/0 Comments/in , /by

It was big news in 2015 when NASA declared “liquid water found in Mars.”

Now, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the announcement that Mars contains large amounts of water was premature.

Scientists had reasoned that water must be present on the red planet to explain mysterious darkish streaks that appeared to ebb and flow with the seasons.

A new paper in Nature Geoscience says that “Recurring Slope Lineae,” or RSL, in Eos Chasma, a deep depression on the planet, are “inconsistent with models for water sources.”

The researchers — working in cooperation with the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project — found that the RSL were instead “identical to the slopes of sand dunes where movement is caused by dry granular flows.” (Read more from “NASA’s ‘Fake News’ About Water on Mars” HERE)
