Flashback US government accidentally releases documents on 'Psycho-Electric' Mind Control weapons

As part of a request for records on Antifa and white supremacist groups, WSFC inadvertently bundles in "EM effects on human body.zip"

When you send thousands of FOIA requests, you are bound to get some very weird responses from time to time. Recently, we here at MuckRock had one of our most bizarre gets yet - Washington State Fusion Center's accidental release of records on the effects of remote mind control.

As part of my ongoing project looking at fusion centers' investigations into Antifa and various white supremacist groups, I filed a request with the WSFC. I got back many standard documents in response, including emails, intelligence briefings and bulletins, reposts from other fusion centers - and then there was one file titled "EM effects on human body.zip."

Hmmm. What could that be? What does EM stand for and what is it doing to the human body? So I opened it up and took a look:

Comment: One wonders who produced these documents and whether this release really was an accident, and also, is there any evidence of them being used?

Russians did it! Media finds culprit behind NFL national anthem brouhaha

In an ideal world free of pesky Russian bots, the debate over NFL players kneeling during the national anthem would have likely never taken place, the Wall Street Journal has reported, veering remarkably close to self-parody.

Citing a study conducted by researchers from Clemson University, the paper describes how more than 12,000 nefarious Russian tweets - "with some reaching only tens of people and others tens of thousands" - miraculously managed to "fuel" the controversy started by then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, which received around-the-clock coverage in the media and even inspired a profanity-laced outburst from Donald Trump.

Even more impressive is that these presumably extremely persuasive tweets began back in 2014, according to the Clemson study, meaning that the clairvoyant Russians were quietly preparing to upend America's famously civil and level-headed political discourse two years before Kaepernick decided (or was instructed by the Kremlin?) not to stand for the national anthem - in August 2016.

India fired back at Pakistani PM Imran Khan, saying his country should stop "glorifying terrorists." New Delhi's reaction was triggered by Khan's tweet, where he alleged that Indian troops killed "innocent" people in Kashmir.

Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar called on Islamabad to worry about its own internal affairs and "take credible action" to tackle terrorism in areas it controls rather than pointing the finger at others.

The remarks came in response to Khan's tweet on Sunday saying he "strongly condemns the new cycle of killings of innocent Kashmiris" at the hands of Indian forces.

France acknowledges targeting RT and Sputnik because 'they are spreading propaganda'

France's government spokesman has finally acknowledged that he intentionally barred RT and Sputnik from covering Elysee Palace events, after all the evasive language the outlets were previously fed.

"There are two media outlets, which I deny from entering the Elysee Palace. It's Russia Today and Sputnik. That's because I don't consider them to be media, but propaganda arms, funded by a foreign nation," Benjamin Griveaux, the government spokesman, told puremedias.com outlet.

"And I know how to differentiate between propaganda, paid for by a foreign nation and opinion journalism, which doesn't pity us but which respects the code of journalism and ethics of journalism."

Comment: Of course there is more going on than just a grudge held by Macron. The US opened the door to target media outlets and news sites that cover the many things the mainstream media does not, and now the rest of the world follows. RT and Sputnik provide a much more sensible take on current events, and the 'powers that be' can't have that. Unfortunately for them, the bell has already been rung.

"Paid protesters are real," writes the Los Angeles Times, after a lawsuit filed by a Czech investor against a business rival spotlighted the seedy, and very real business of people hired to express fake outrage, support, and everything in between.

According to a lawsuit filed by investor Zdenek Bakala, Prague-based investment manager Pavol Krupa hired Beverly hills company Crowds on Demand (COD) to stage a protest near Bakala's home in Hilton Head, SC.
In the Bakala case, Crowds on Demand is accused of spreading misinformation through a website, putting on protests and organizing a phone and email campaign targeting several U.S. institutions with ties to Bakala, who got an MBA from Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business and had an estimated net worth topping $1 billion earlier this decade, according to Forbes. - LA Times
Crowds on Demand provides pop-up "protests, rallies, flash mobs, paparazzi events and other inventive PR stunts," according to its website.

Comment: So there you have it. And not a Russian in sight...

Left-wing financier George Soros is planning to profit from the illegal immigration crises in the United States and the European Union that he was instrumental in creating.

Soros traffics in revolution and human misery. His devious business deals have brought the financial systems of the United Kingdom and Malaysia to their knees. Soros helped finance the 1989 "Velvet Revolution" in then-Czechoslovakia. He acknowledged having orchestrated coups in Croatia, Georgia, Slovakia, and Yugoslavia.

Comment: Soros' latest effort to flood the US with illegal immigrants is underway with the migrant caravan out of Honduras Vince James of The Red Elephants has done some excellent research, showing that Soros' fingerprints are all over this latest migrant operation:
