In late 2016, the government's spin machine made it a point to feature "pizza gate," only to mock anyone who would ever believe it to be true. The thought that high-level government officials in the U.S. would or could ever be involved in sex-trafficking or pedophilia was presented as far-fetched conspiracy theory, only believed by the fringe elements of society. But as The Free Thought Project has reported on numerous occasions, pedophilia involving high-level government officials is becoming the norm rather than the exception.

In the North Bengal region of India, a child welfare officer, India's equivalent of a Child Protective Services official was arrested for her role in a child-trafficking ring. Sasmita Ghosh's arrest makes the seventh as of late. The State's Criminal Investigative Department (CID) made the arrests. According to the Hindu, "The CID had unearthed the child trafficking racket during raids at homes and nursing homes in Baduria area of North 24 Parganas district, in Behala in the southern fringes of Kolkata and some other parts of south Bengal in November last year."

Abortion clinics in the area were convincing mothers to give birth to their children in exchange for money ranging between $1,400 and $4,500 USD. Other birthing centers told mothers their children were stillborn, when they weren't, allowing the clinic to steal the babies for sale on the black market. The children were transported in bread baskets to nursing homes in the area where they would remain until they were sold into servitude, as sex slaves, or brothels.

"It is a huge network of NGOs, nursing homes, doctors and middlemen dealing in illegal adoption and baby trafficking that the police have busted. Our men are now building on the huge leads they have already got in this case," Rajesh Kumar, CID's Additional Director General told the press. Additionally, investigators believe foreigners were buying the children. Currency from other countries was found at the same time the children were discovered. Several corpses and skeletons of infants were also unearthed in the raided businesses.

Dan Coats has been confirmed as the new US Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The former senator from Indiana will oversee more than a dozen US intelligence agencies.

In his confirmation hearing on February 28, Coats took a hard line on Russia, defended extensive NSA surveillance, and supported the continued operation of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp for terrorists.

Coats, 73, has been critical of Russia for years, and landed on the list of US politicians barred from the country in March 2014.

Washington city sues Purdue Pharma, Makers of OxyContin, for flooding their town with opioids

oxycontin addiction
The abuse and misuse of prescription, non-prescription, and illegal opioid drugs is devastating North America, and as municipalities and communities struggle to deal with the many causes for and approaches to resolving widespread opioid addiction, the city Everett, WA is suing the makers of OxContin for their role in flooding the streets with pills.
"Everett's lawsuit, now in federal court in Seattle, accuses Purdue Pharma of gross negligence and nuisance. The city seeks to hold the company accountable, the lawsuit alleges, for "supplying OxyContin to obviously suspicious pharmacies and physicians and enabling the illegal diversion of OxyContin into the black market" and into Everett, despite a company program to track suspicious flows." [Source]
Everett has spent millions of dollars in combating the epidemic, and Mayor Ray Stephanson believes that Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, a powerful opioid which is perhaps the most abused pharmaceutical medication on the planet, should bear some of the burden.

RT penetrates fog of war around civilians' plight in besieged Mosul, as humanitarian catastrophe unfolding

Refugees flee Mosul
The US-led coalition's liberation of Mosul is in its final phase. While Western media praise the operation, RT has been there on the ground witnessing what they don't talk much about: the plight of the people and the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe.

Innocent people are being caught in the crossfire between terrorists and the US-led coalition, eye-witnesses have been telling RT's Murad Gazdiev in recent weeks as he visited refugee camps and hospitals in Iraq. While it is a known common practice for jihadists to use civilians as human shields, it seemingly has not stopped the coalition from trying to regain control over the city by any means necessary.

"On the day that our house was hit, a dozen other homes were destroyed by airstrikes in our neighborhood. It is a deep injustice," one local at the Rojava hospital in Erbil recalled.


Refugees in the Hazar refugee camp near Erbil, northern Iraq, confirmed that they had seen bombs falling on them indiscriminately.

Comment: Iraqi troops are firing heavy artillery and rockets in west Mosul, which they earlier pledged to avoid. This is forcing a massive civilian exodus from the Iraqi city, a senior Iraq researcher at Human Rights Watch, Belkis Wille, told RT.
"We are seeing the Iraqi forces starting to use heavy artillery in west Mosul, something they didn't do in the east and they committed not to doing. We're also seeing them firing inherently indiscriminate rockets... into civilian-populated neighborhoods," Wille said.

"As long as that continues, we're going to continue to see people pouring out, as well as of course an increase in civilian casualties, because these people are also victims of abuses by ISIS [Islamic State or IS], so they are really caught in the crossfire and they need to get out," Wille emphasized.

Yet even if people manage to escape, they are faced with blood-chilling conditions in what used to be refugee camps - but have become prisons in disguise, she said.
Iraqi forces recaptured the neighborhoods of Bab al-Bid and Bab al-Jadid, according to a statement by Lt. Gen. Shaker Jawdat. Hours later, troops retook a railway station and garage in Nineveh as well.
Referencing one of five strategic bridges that connect eastern and western Mosul near the Tigris River, Jawdat said, "The Rapid Response forces recaptured 90 percent of the Old City and came 100 meters away from the Old Bridge."

The Old City section of Mosul is seen as an important target by Iraqi officials due to its dense population and small alleys, and retaking it will have a decisive impact on anti-Daesh operations in Mosul's western region.

Eastern Mosul was recaptured from the jihadists on January 24, after three months of intense battle. Another operation to retake the region was launched in February, resulting in 30 percent of Mosul being recaptured, according to security officials.

Troops have also regained control of the city's airport, important government facilities, and a military base.

Is the curtain falling on George Soros' sparkling new world?

sorros
Billionaire investor George Soros sure had a run on establishing a bold new world. Though he continues to pour millions into protest and crises worldwide, the fading dream of either an "Open Society" or even "Cosmopolitanism" and a globalist doctrine are surely lost for his lifetime. As the famous cliché goes, "the jig is almost up" George. Lone wolf speculator or Illuminati captain, the world's most famous billionaire villain has impacted our lives in ways most cannot imagine. Here's a look into Soros and the Utopia that cannot be.

When George Soros was a boy in Hungary during World War II and the German occupation, he collaborated with the Nazis to help confiscate the possessions of Jews who would be detained, and more-often-than-not killed. Soros has never been apologetic about this, and has often stated that 1944 was the best year of his life. Today we see the footprints of Soros from the disaster Yugoslavia and Bosnia became, to the current destabilizing chaos. No matter how one gauges George Soros, it's clear he has played an integral, damaging and often mysterious role in the world. News these days frames the legendary billionaire as a kind of evil genius behind world chaos. But who is George Soros really?

Comment: Mr. Butler's friend is correct. Soros, as a psychopath, is doing what he is best at, sowing dissension and chaos in order to reap the benefits.

Ponerized United States: How the American Republic was taken over by political cliques of criminally insane psychopaths
However, the real obstacle to the implementation of this popular and noble plan is the degree to which the body politic itself — on both sides of the political divide — have been irreversibly ponerized. Much more significantly, however, is the fact that the vast majority of the agents of Deep State have been purposefully ponerized.
When something or someone has become "Ponerized" in its strictest sense, it means that the person or group can no longer make the distinction between healthy and pathological thought processes and logic. One is no longer able to draw a line between correct thinking and deviant thinking.[1]
The most glaring example of ponerization is the complete takeover of the Left by the infamous and incorrigible psychopath George Soros. It's not just the Soros machine that is at work here. There is in actuality a vast network of criminally insane psychopaths who are affiliated with the many Soros organizations, all of which are connected directly or indirectly to Deep State.

The rising tide of militarism in the 21st century: From Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump

US soldiers
Introduction: US militarism expanded exponentially through the first two decades of the Twenty-First Century, and was embraced by both Democratic and Republican Presidents. The mass media's hysteria towards President Trump's increase in military spending deliberately ignores the vast expansion of militarism, in all its facets, under President Obama and his two predecessors, Presidents 'Bill' Clinton and George Bush, Jr.

We will proceed in this essay to compare and discuss the unbroken rise of militarism over the past seventeen years. We will then demonstrate that militarism is an essential structural feature of US imperialism's insertion in the international system.

FakeCheck: RT separates real from fake news with special online project

RT Fake News Project Aleppo Syrian girl
In a post-truth world, it's sometimes hard to distinguish between what is real and what is fake news. RT's new special project, FakeCheck, helps you to separate fact from fiction and transit into a post-fake reality.

With the proliferation of social media channels, few people find or have the time to dig into the source of information they are being fed through their Facebook and Twitter feeds. Unknowingly and against their will, they often fall prey to hoaxes, propaganda, and disinformation masquerading as real news.

For example, have you seen the harrowing image of a little girl running through a devastated Aleppo street strewn with dead bodies?

French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has slammed British Prime Minister Theresa May for "contradictions" over Brexit, in an interview with former UKIP leader Nigel Farage.

Le Pen criticized the British prime minister for hosting her main rival, centrist Emmanuel Macron, at Downing Street in February, but failing to offer her the same privilege.

When asked in the interview with Farage, due to be aired on LBC Radio on Wednesday night, whether she thought this was overt support for Macron and a snub towards her, Le Pen said: "It seems to be the case."

Merkel's migrant deception

Angela Merkel meets with Recep Tayyip Erdogan

"Never believe anything until it has been officially denied," people use to say in days of the Soviet Union. Today, the same seems to be true for the European Union's migrant policy. When German Chancellor Angela Merkel engineered the EU-Turkey deal on migrants, it was widely described by the European politicians and the media as a "breakthrough". Merkel and other EU leaders agreed on offering a down payment of €3 billion to the regime of Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in return for its promises to "stem migrant flows".

In December 2015, nearly four months before the EU-Turkey agreement was even formalized, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán accused Chancellor Merkel of working on a "secret deal" with her Turkish counterparts. President Orbán was quite specific in his claims, apparently certain that Berlin would soon reveal the details to the public.

"Beyond what we agreed with Turkey in Brussels there's something that doesn't figure in the agreement," President Orbán said in December 2015. "We'll wake up one day -- and I think this will be announced in Berlin as soon as this week -- that we have to take in 400,000 to 500,000 refugees directly from Turkey."
