Rampaging tractor leads Denver police on a bizarre slow-speed pursuit

Tractor
Trained canines had to be used to stop a joyrider who had led Denver authorities on what could only be described as one of the slowest police chases in recent memory.

The incident in an area of downtown Denver resulted in damage to several vehicles and properties after a man drove a John Deere tractor erratically down streets and onto a sidewalk, according to WEWS.

Footage from an eyewitness shows the subsequent bizarre police chase, with at least four cruisers seen following the tractor down a busy Denver road at half-pace. The strangely low-octane pursuit lasted for approximately 30 minutes, Denver Police spokesperson Tyrone Campbell admitted at a press conference.

Ocasio-Cortez reminds us of the worthlessness of economics degrees

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez socialism meme
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has taken the Democratic party by storm. Although she has only won the primary election in her New York district, she is quickly becoming the face of a new wave of left-wing politicians. These new left-wingers are undoubtedly socialists, so highly baffling views on economics are to be expected. One may think a college degree in economics, which Ocasio-Cortez has, may steer an individual toward rational views on the economy. But as I will show you below, that has almost never been the case.

People with more advanced economics degrees than Ocasio-Cortez have participated in some of the US's darkest moments. Irving Fisher, a PhD in economics and very influential economist, infamously said that we had reached a "permanently high plateau" in the stock market. Less than a month later, the market began its descent in what would become the most severe stock market crash in history: the stock market crash of 1929.

Mosul 1 year after 'liberation': Residents living in rubble, surrounded by dead bodies, ISIS still around

Ruins of Mosul, Iraq
Dead bodies, ruined houses and the risk of Islamists coming back are only a few perils people in Mosul have to cope with. Life in the liberated city is still full of fears, hopelessness and grief, RT's Ruptly agency revealed.

It's been a year since the US-backed Iraqi forces defeated Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) in the city of Mosul that had become their de-facto capital. Baghdad has declared a major victory in the war that gripped the country for several years in a row. On the back of the liberation, disturbing reports began emerging, telling of all-out destruction, extrajudicial killings and a looming humanitarian crisis. A new report from the ground now reveals that, since then, things haven't improved a lot.

A Ruptly crew went to the city to talk to local people who went through enormous hardships while living in war-torn Mosul. A man named Mohammed Qadir told the crew a harrowing story of his small daughter being killed in the bombings in April last year. The girl was hiding in the toilet with her little sister when a bomb struck the man's house.

"You know when a mortar falls you hear the sound, it's loud. When this [projectile] fell we didn't hear it even though it was right here. This is where it happened." Shrapnel severely mutilated the girl, but the nearby doctors refused to save her.

"They said: 'We are not going to treat her. Our priority is the fighters. We can give her an injection so she dies immediately. Better for her to die at home.'"

Horrifying footage of drugged up transgender axe attacker who claims 'demonic possession'

transgender axe attack

An Australian man who identifies as a transgender woman defended himself in court on Thursday, claiming that he was either possessed by a demon or his mind was addled by drugs and therefore it was his body, not him, who attacked people at a 7-Eleven with an ax last year.

Evie Amati, the 26-year-old suspect, does not deny being bodily present at the time, but claims his* mind was somewhere else. Amati allegedly attacked two people with an ax at a 7-Eleven on January 7, 2017. The suspect then reportedly swung the ax twice at a man outside who managed to avoid the blows. Amati has pleaded not guilty to six charges, including two counts of wounding with intent to murder.

In court, Amati's lawyer Charles Waterstreet asked, "At that stage, had you any idea of the damage that you'd done to persons by your body's actions?" To this, the defendant responded, "No."

The court had previously heard that Amati could not remember the incident. On Thursday, the transgender suspect developed the drug and demon possession defense, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Comment: If we look at the state of the world, clearly something is awry. In recent years, religious figureheads have been claiming that possession by nefarious entities is on the rise. And if it is true that by denying the facts of reality one becomes more susceptible to possession, then the propaganda push for transgenderism, transhumanism - even pedophilia - make the chances of 'hell on earth' all the more possible. However, possession doesn't excuse such a heinous act; we should be held accountable for our lack of self-awareness and the behaviour borne of it. Also check out SOTT radio's:

Over 1,200 corpses discovered in Raqqa mass graves, US still in denial about massive casualties

mass grave
The bodies of more than 1,200 civilians, mostly women and children, were discovered in mass graves in Raqqa, Syria. The total number of corpses still rotting there is unknown, as relatives continue searching for their loved ones.

The Raqqa Reconstruction Committee has been working for more than six months to deal with and dig up the human cost of the city's 'liberation.' The group says it has discovered some 1,236 bodies since January from just three burial sites, but fears that there are many more elsewhere.

How the Deep State costs us all

Upon reading a report entitled "Trump Tax Law Hurts Homeowners and Helps Real Estate Developers" prepared at the direction of and for Congressman Elijah E. Cummings, I became interested both in the report and in the workings of the House of Representatives' Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The report prepared for Congressman Cummings was marked: "Democratic Staff Report".

Chairman Gowdy is an outstanding member of Congress and it is understood that the organization and to some extent, the costs of operating the committee are a hand dealt to Chairman Gowdy and likely identical organizational charts exist with respect to every committee in the House of Representatives.

The mission statement of the House Oversight Committee includes promises to"ensure the efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of the federal government and all its agencies" and states "genuinely good government requires a commitment to expose waste, fraud, and abuse. We ultimately report to hard working taxpayers to ensure their investment in government is spent effectively, efficiently, and transparently."

Americans are under more threat from US Intel community than anything Putin might be doing

Trump Swamp

The glaring hypocrisy of the Russia Hoax peddlers is mind-boggling. Their lack of self-awareness is a sign of their moral bankruptcy.
"For more than a decade, Russia has meddled in elections around the world, supported brutal dictators and invaded sovereign nations - all to the detriment of United States interests."
- The New York Times
The Resistance sure got a case of the vapors this week over Mr. Trump's failure to throttle America's arch-enemy, the murderous thug V. Putin of Russia, onstage in Helsinki, as any genuine Marvel Comix hero is expected to do when facing consummate evil. Instead, the Golden Golem of Greatness voiced some doubts about the veracity of our "intelligence community" - as the shape-shifting Moloch of black ops likes to call itself, as if it were a kindly service organization in Mr. Rogers neighborhood, collecting dimes for victims of childhood cancer.

If I may be frank, the US Intel community looks like a much bigger threat to American life and values than anything Mr. Putin is doing, for instance his alleged "meddling" in US elections. This word, meddling, absolutely pervades the captive Resistance news outlets these days. It has a thrilling vagueness about it, intimating all kinds of dark deeds without specifying anything, as consorting with Satan once did in our history. The reason: the only specific acts associated with this meddling include the disclosure of incriminating emails among the Democratic National Committee leadership, and a tiny gang of Facebook trolls making sport of profoundly idiotic and dysfunctional American electoral politics.

Radiation in Californian wine 'most likely' from Fukushima

california wine
TRACES of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster have been found in bottles of Californian wine.

The horror meltdown in 2011 was sparked by a massive tsunami, causing waves that overwhelmed the plant's reactors.

But despite fears about radioactive particles possibly entering the food and drink chain, the World Health Organisation insisted the risk outside Japan was relatively low.

But it can now be revealed that wine made in the west coast US state since the meltdown contain isotopes from the accident's fallout.

Researchers at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) reported the worrying find this week.

Comment: If those are the levels found in California then what are the levels like in the still habited areas surrounding Fukushima? And the idea that it's of no risk to human life is most likely untrue. It's also worth bearing in mind Fukushima isn't the only source of radiation on our planet, as noted in High altitude nuclear weapons testing impacted space weather:
According to a new paper published in Space Science Reviews, the high altitude nuclear testing conducted by both the USSR and United States created "artificial radiation belts" near Earth. Our planet is naturally surrounded by Van Allen radiation belts-zones of highly-charged particles. But the energy from nuclear explosions created hot, electrically charged regions within the atmosphere that induced geomagnetic disturbances, and even produced radiation belts of its own. As you can probably guess, the results were not so great-according to the study's authors, this resulted in "major damages to several satellites" that orbited Earth at a fairly low altitude.

'We don't want US in Afghanistan!' Civilians vent anger after family of 14 killed in airstrike

Civilians uncover the rubble after an airstrike in Kunduz.
An airstrike killed a number of Afghan civilians in the Kunduz province, where a family of 14 perished in the bombing. Local authorities said no one warned civilians about the coming strike.

RT's Ruptly agency have filmed bombed-out houses in Chahar Dara district, Kunduz province, that was hit by a Thursday airstrike Afghan authorities claim was carried out by the US-led coalition. Footage shows a digger sifting through the debris at the site of the airstrike, where 14 civilians, all said to be family members, had died.

Omerkhel, a local resident, described the scene, saying "their families are under the earth, the machine is working to get them out of the damaged places." He added victims of the bombing were women and children.

Another man emotionally said: "They do not allow Afghanistan to be safe; we don't want America in Afghanistan any more. Look at this child's leg, what is his sin?"

Question

The Transgender revolution will fail - here's 7 reasons why

transgender
I earnestly hope and pray that every child and adult struggling with gender identity issues will find wholeness, peace, and happiness from the inside out. I earnestly hope and pray that we will live to see the day when every person who feels trapped inside the wrong body will find internal resolution without hormones and radical surgery. At the same time, I wholeheartedly oppose the transgender revolution and predict that, ultimately, it will fail. Here's why.

1) The transgender revolution is oppressive. As reported on July 16 on Lifesite News, "Failing to refer to a gender-confused student, professor, or staffer by his or her 'preferred' pronouns could become a fireable or expulsion-worthy offense at the University of Minnesota, according to proposed guidelines currently under consideration."

It is not enough to allow a biological male to identify as a female. Hardly. Society must conform, or else. If "he" now identifies as "she" (or "xe" or "ze") and you fail to use the right pronoun, you will be punished.

This is already the law in New York City. And Canada has taken steps to make this kind of enforced speech the law across the country.

This cannot succeed in the long-term. Society will push back.

Comment: No they are not. And it's not just playing with fire, transgenderism of children is child abuse.
