An Illinois man was jailed without bond after being charged of inserting sewing needles into packaged meat at a grocery store on at least seven occasions over more than a year.

A criminal complaint was filed against Ronald Avers, 68, who appeared in court Thursday on seven counts of tampering with meat products, each punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Avery was ordered jailed pending a scheduled detention hearing Monday.

The court complaint provided testimony from customers of a Shop 'n Save store in the suburbs of St. Louis, with one saying he bit into one of the needles that was inserted into a piece of boneless chuck roast.

SuperValu Inc., the corporate parent of the Shop 'n Save franchise, said that none of the cases resulted in serious injury, and that the alleged tampering was confined to only the meat department of one chain.

Comment: From THE PSYCHOPATH - The Mask of Sanity: Special Research Project of the Quantum Future School
Harrington goes so far as to say that the psychopath is the new man being produced by the evolutionary pressures of modern life. Other researchers criticize this view, pointing out the real disabilities that the clinical psychopath also suffers.

The study of "ambulatory" psychopaths - what we call "The Garden Variety Psychopath" - has, however, hardly begun. Very little is known about subcriminal psychopathy. However, some researchers have begun to seriously consider the idea that it is important to study psychopathy not as an artificial clinical category but as a general personality trait in the community at large. In other words, psychopathy is being recognized as a more or less a different type of human.

One very interesting aspect of the psychopath is his "hidden life" that is sometimes not too well hidden. It seems that the psychopath has a regular need to take a "vacation into filth and degradation" the same way normal people may take a vacation to a resort where they enjoy beautiful surroundings and culture. To get a full feeling for this strange "need" of the psychopath - a need that seems to be evidence that "acting human" is very stressful to the psychopath - read more of The Mask of Sanity, chapters 25 and 26.

Also, read Cleckley's speculations on what was "really wrong" with these people. He comes very close to suggesting that they are human in every respect - but that they lack a soul. This lack of "soul quality" makes them very efficient "machines." They can be brilliant, write scholarly works, imitate the wordsof emotion, but over time, it becomes clear that their words do not match their actions. They are the type of person who can claim that they are devastated by grief who then attend a party "to forget." The problem is: they really DO forget.

Apologists for genocide: The reasons why Gaza's population is so young

dead gaza child
The population density of the Gaza Strip has been disputed, but in comparison with other cities, Gaza City, with a population of around 750,000, is undoubtedly a densely populated urban area.

This goes some way to explaining the high numbers of casualties in the current conflict. Some 63 Israelis and about 1460 Palestinians have died since the current conflict started a month ago, with children accounting for at least 245 of the deaths. But why so many children? It turns out that there are unusual features about the population structure in Gaza that make it an enigma in the modern world.

First, the Gaza Strip's population of roughly 1.8 million has an unusually large proportion of children. Figures for 2013 from Index Mundi, the internet source of country data, show that that 43.5 per cent of the population is aged 14 or under, compared with 32 per cent in Egypt and 27 per cent in Israel.

Comment: This article on the New Scientist website is unconscionable, and is a prime example of the western mainstream media, once again, blaming the victim. As if the civilian resident's of the Gaza strip are somehow responsible for the atrocities committed against them.

In reality, deliberately targeting civilians, especially children, has been part of Israel's zionist agenda for a long time. Recent examples include the bombing of beach in Gaza where boys were playing football, the missile strike against a Gaza hospital, and the destruction of the only power plant in Gaza, upon which so many families depend.

Perhaps it is not quite accurate to say that the IDF is targeting children over mothers, or civilians over soldiers, because in the minds of the psychopathic leaders in Israel, Palestinians are no more than animals or insects, they want them all dead, regardless of age, gender or situation.

One can only speculate about who calls the shots on the editorial board at New Scientist, what the editor's political affiliations are, and where they get their funding from.

For when genocide becomes permissible, it's business as usual at New Scientist.

Wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 two days after it crashed in a sunflower field near the village of Rassipnoe, in east Ukraine, on July 19, 2014.
Dutch experts who have taken the leading role in the MH17 plane crash investigation are not able to reach the crash site in eastern Ukraine, a spokesperson of the Dutch Safety Board told RT.

RT: Have your experts already been to the MH17 crash site in the Donetsk Region?

Wim van der Weegen: No, our Dutch investigators have not been there yet. Since the Dutch Safety Board took over the leadership of the investigation on July 23, there has been no possibility for us to visit the crash site.

RT: Why is there no possibility? Are there security reasons behind that?

Wim van der Weegen: Two things: first, yes, safety; second - we don't decide on our own whether our investigators can leave for the crash site. We depend on the information and analyses from the Dutch Ministry of Safety and Security and the Dutch Ministry of Defense. So, we rely on their information on whether it is safe or not to go to the crash site. If we get positive insights, we can arrange the logistics for how to get there.

RT: Who is helping you to collect the information from the crash site?

Wim van der Weegen: The investigation started right after the crash. There was an international team of air crash investigators. This team has collected a lot of information in the past two weeks. For example, data recorders, satellite information, radar information from air traffic controllers. The search at the crash site is just one part of a bigger, complex investigation.

Sanctions against Russia hurting German businesses

The West is tightening the financial screws on Moscow, but German companies are already feeling the kickback of a slowing Russian economy and weakening ruble.

Russia is Europe's third-largest trading partner, so a spluttering Russian economy, exacerbated by the Ukraine crisis, is seriously affecting German companies. In 2013, Germany exported 36 billion euro worth of goods to Russia.

A higher value ruble and inflation risk consumer spending in the region, and are cutting German involvement in the market accordingly.

German sports retailer Adidas lowered financial targets for the next two years, citing conditions in Russia as a major stumbling block.

Police question drivers at a checkpoint in Armada, Michigan.
Armada - Long lines of traffic formed as travelers attempted to enter or leave the Village of Armada; government agents roadblocked all routes around town and put every driver under scrutiny as part of a massive murder investigation.

The blanket search was conducted on the evening of Thursday, July 31, 2014. Swarms of FBI agents, Michigan State Police, and local police officers joined forces to create three massive checkpoints around the small community (population 1,730), causing traffic to be "backed up for miles."

The police action came one week after a local teen girl was found murdered in a drainage ditch on July 24th. Short on clues in the search for April Millsap's killer, investigators decided to stop, question, and document every traveler in town - "car by car."

indian explosion

Experts say India’s industrial accidents are often caused by a failure to comply with safety standards.
At least five workers have been killed when a massive blast ripped through an explosives factory in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, police say.

On Friday, the powerful blast completely destroyed the factory, which provides detonators and other explosives to mines in the mineral-rich state.

"The explosion was so powerful that the entire cement building was totally destroyed and the victims' bodies blown to pieces," said police officer Gurjinder Pal Singh.

Police continued investigating the cause of the blast.

The incident marks the latest in a series of factory accidents in India.

gaza obliteration
The obliteration of Gaza from relentless Israeli air strikes and tank shelling was laid bare today in a series of satellite images charting the escalating violence across the region.

Analysis from UN satellite experts reveal how hundreds of buildings have been razed to the ground in a series of attacks that have killed more than 1,300 Palestinians over the last three weeks.

Using images from July 6 - before the conflict began - and comparing them with ones from July 25, they have identified 700 destroyed structures, many of them homes and mosques.

The Ku Klux Klan doesn't want to leave all the immigrant-hating to gun-toting militias and US congressmen. The Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is calling for a "shoot-to-kill" policy at the border. Robert Ray of Al Jazeera America caught up with two such "knights" in North Carolina, and asked if the policy would apply to child migrants.

The "wizard" hemmed and hawed for a moment, then said: "If we pop a couple of 'em off and leave the corpses laying on the border, maybe they'll see we're serious about stopping immigrants."
