The federal criminal complaint charges them with violating federal firearms and conspiracy laws.

All five New Mexico compound suspects were indicted by a federal grand jury on Tuesday on firearms and conspiracy charges, less than two weeks after they were arrested by the FBI, officials announced.

The indictment charged the suspects -- Jany Leveille, 35, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40, Hujrah Wahhaj, 37, Subhanah Wahhaj, 35, and Lucas Morton, 40 - "with conspiring knowingly to provide an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States, possession of firearms and ammunition," a news release from the District of New Mexico's U.S. Attorney's Office said.

British kids find it easier to score pot than alcohol, says new poll

In light of the poll's shocking findings, politicians and campaigners have called on the government to do more to tackle drug abuse in Britain.

A poll has found children in the UK to have better access to cannabis than alcoholic drinks, with 44 percent of respondents aged between 16 and 17 who have used cannabis saying it is easy to obtain.

Meanwhile, only 22 percent of surveyed alcohol drinkers of the same age range said they can buy alcohol without difficulty.

Drugs policy thinktank Volteface, which commissioned the survey carried out by Survation, warned that children are being "exploited" by adults in the drug trade, with prosecutions for drug-related offences rising for teenagers from 2012 to 2017 while falling for adults.

Alameda County police have arrested a knife-wielding man who reportedly attacked congressional candidate Rudy Peters with a switchblade after making "disparaging remarks" about the GOP.

The suspect in the assault on Peters, who was only referred to as "a political candidate for a local congressional seat" in the Alameda County Sheriff's Office report, has been identified as Farzad Fazel, 35.

The incident unfolded on Sunday as Peters, who is vying to represent California's 15th congressional district in the House of Representatives, was visiting the Castro Valley Fall Festival. Police was alerted to the attack in one of the vendor booths at about 3:45 pm. As officers rushed to the scene, the alleged stabber had already fled.

Police say they are working on at least three theories about Kamphuis’ disappearance. Investigators say that he might have been involved in some incident, been the victim of a criminal act, or just went into hiding.
Norwegian police have found the belongings of Julian Assange's associate, cyber security expert Arjen Kamphuis, who mysteriously went missing in late August.

The 47-year-old co-author of a handbook for investigative journalists on how to keep themselves and their work safe from government spying, has been missing since August 20. At that time, Kamphuis checked out of a hotel in the town of Bodo in northern Norway and hasn't been seen since.

The security expert's belongings were found on Tuesday by a man who was fishing near Bodo, police said on Wednesday, as cited by Norwegian media.

According to police inspector Bjarte Walla, the fisherman "found an object floating in the sea."

Dog helps exonerate Oregon man from 50 year prison sentence for child sex abuse

An Oregon man sentenced to 50 years in prison for sexually abusing his daughter has had his conviction overturned and received an apology from the state - after a dog was found safe and well.

Josh Horner from Redmond, Oregon, got an apology on behalf of the state from John Hummel, the Deschutes County district attorney whose office was responsible for prosecuting.

The 42-year-old plumber was convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison last March 2017, despite the jury not coming to a consensus that he was guilty. Oregon is one of two states where jurors don't need to be unanimous to convict, with the exception of murder cases.

EU approves controversial Copyright Directive, including internet 'link tax' and 'upload filter'

EU lock
The European Parliament has voted in favor of the Copyright Directive, a controversial piece of legislation intended to update online copyright laws for the internet age.

The directive was originally rejected by MEPs in July following criticism of two key provisions: Articles 11 and 13, dubbed the "link tax" and "upload filter" by critics. However, in parliament this morning, an updated version of the directive was approved, along with amended versions of Articles 11 and 13. The final vote was 438 in favor and 226 against.

The fight is far from finished

The fallout from this decision will be far-reaching, and take a long time to settle. The directive itself still faces a final vote in January 2019 (although experts say it's unlikely it will be rejected). After that it will need to be implemented by individual EU member states, who could very well vary significantly in how they choose to interpret the directive's text.

Comment: But it's far from only the web's biggest tech companies that will suffer under these draconian new rules. This will fundamentally change how people are able to use the internet, and it's hard to see any positives. Far from being an empowering platform on which people are free to creatively express themselves, under these new rules, the internet could potentially become a limited platform that places overly restrictive limits on what one is able to publish. The only ones who benefit from these new rules will be big media monopolies. Essentially, they're trying to turn the internet into TV.

A firefighter's perspective on 9/11

9/11 deathstar twin towers still more believable than the official story
Here we are, at the 17th anniversary of the event which shocked America-and most of the world-that was protected by massive lies still in use today. I am going to use two examples to show the readers why the official 9/11 story is a fraud and massive psyops campaign to give the USA an excuse to illegally invade nations, kill millions, wound millions more, create untold misery and fear for innocent people, at the same time knocking off predominantly Islamic states that Israel wanted destroyed and which would make Wall Street & defense contractors a 'killing' off the killings. And to use the 9/11 lies to justify an ever-growing police state both in the USA and most of the West, especially England.

And like the Skripal False Flag, anytime a lie gets exposed, the liars double-down and lie some more or tell a new, more confusing lie.

But first, will give you some of my background, to show you that I know a little of what I am about to say, due to my firefighting experience and extensive training in that field.

Between my start with the local county volunteer Fire Department, then getting hired as a career firefighter in a Midwest medium-size college town I accumulated almost 23 years of firefighting experience, fighting fires as a firefighter; a step-up Engineer-the one who drives the fire apparatus and is responsible for manning the fire engine's pump panel when pumping water to the crews fighting the fire(s). Also as an Acting Lieutenant, Lieutenant and even twice as Incident Manager, the one who stays on the exterior of the structure fire and manages the various crews fighting the fire.

In addition to that, our Fire Department was dedicated to weekly training of personnel at our Fire Training Academy, where we honed our skills in class lectures and also by doing training evolution's on the Academy's grounds, which included a large concrete and steel burn building, where we would set fires in 50 gallon drums, close the steel window shutters, let the fire and heat build up, then attack the fire as if it was the real deal.

Orthodox Jewish women are being shamed by their community for long 'slutty' wigs

Long haired wigs are seen as 'slutty' in the Orthodox community.
Rabbis in New York are shaming Orthodox Jewish women over wearing wigs deemed to be "too long" and therefore "slutty."

Jewish law requires married Orthodox women to wear wigs, called sheitels, to stop them from enticing men who aren't their husbands. Religious traditionalists are now cracking down on modern lengths of fake hair, which they say flout the spirit of the law.

Esther Adina Sash of Flatbush, New York has drawn the ire of social media users for posting pictures on Instagram of her in wigs with long flowing locks.

Sash admitted that "the wig is a very charged item," telling the New York Post that she had received comments like "Go drown yourself in a lake - you're negatively influencing young girls."

Signs of a cover-up, with bodies piling up and more missing persons in the Malibu hills

malibu homicide detectives
Area residents woke up to more startling news last Wednesday when major media outlets dispatched helicopters to broadcast live aerial footage of skeletal remains found on a hiking trail at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains.

Lost Hills Sheriffs Department arrived at the scene after a CalTrans worker discovered the remains off trail at the Juan Bautista de Anza Trailhead at the end of Calabasas Rd. September 5th.

This has been a scary summer for Malibu Canyon residents and the general public who frequent the area, as a series of serious crimes have been committed, bringing to light an even more serious public safety issue. And it appears that law enforcement knows a lot more than they are telling us.
