The robbers, who were taken into custody Wednesday, turned out to be mere teenagers, with ages ranging from 14 to 19. However, the group included the founder of an anti-immigration movement and a couple of protest organizers, reports Sunshine Coast Daily.

Unfortunately, the "activists" resorted to trivial robbery instead of political careers. They have reportedly conducted up to seven attacks since the beginning of the year, stealing cash and mobile phones worth €4,000 total, shouting "police!" whenever someone attempted to intervene.

Comment: These 'camps' and the far right idiots who terrorize them are the disgrace of Europe. The official government reaction isn't much better. While treating the Calais refugees like cattle, not far away in Dunkirk, the local authorities have had to fight tooth and nail with the French government in order to create better living conditions for migrants who otherwise lived with rats and filth.

Corrupting influence: EU commission relying on chemical industry safety studies in decision to re-license glyphosate

In a tale of Brussels corruption almost too crass to believe, the Commission of the European Union is ready to approve a new license for a proven carcinogen, glyphosate, despite international warnings from WHO and independent scientists that it is toxic to humans and animals. Only huge protest has forced the EU to make a surprise postponement of its planned vote to re-approve.

EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, Vytenis Andriukaitis, postponed re-licensing of glyphosate this month not because of his taking a morally courageous stand by going against the corrupt EU Commission food safety advisory group, EFSA, and banning renewal of the license for the world's most widely-used weed-killer, glyphosate. He's fully ready to approve the substance. This, despite the fact that a scientific panel of the World Health Organization labeled glyphosate in 2015 as a probable human and animal carcinogen. He postponed only because four EU member states, unexpectedly, refused to approve renewal. Now Andriukaitis and the GMO weed-killer cartel are scheming to find a new way to ram the renewal through.

Glyphosate is a highly toxic chemical that is the major component of Monsanto's Roundup weed-killer, the world's most used weed-killer. In other combinations glyphosate is also sold by most every agrochemical company in the world including BASF, Syngenta, Dow Chemical, DuPont and China's Zhejiang Wynca Chemical.

Comment: Is it irresponsibility or criminal behavior when an institution tasked with protecting the health and safety of a population deliberately ignores the overwhelming evidence of the negative health and environmental impacts of a highly toxic pesticide?

"I'm not saying, I'm just saying" - how Trump gets away with innuendo and lies that other candidates can't

In an interview last month, George Stephanopoulos asked Donald Trump about his retweet of a follower who insisted that both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were ineligible for the presidency.

Trump dismissed Stephanopoulos' question with "it was a retweet" - as if to say that retweeting someone else's claim meant that he wasn't responsible for the content.

When pressed, Trump continued:
I mean, let people make their own determination. I've never looked at it, George. I honestly have never looked at it. As somebody said, he's not [eligible]. And I retweeted it. I have 14 million people between Twitter and Facebook and Instagram, and I retweet things and we start dialogue and it's very interesting.
It's a response that can be reduced to I'm not saying it, I'm just saying it.

Bankers' rule: Irish state issues eviction notices to 60 families on behalf of Goldman Sachs vulture fund

goldman sachs
Minister for Transport Paschal Donohoe has described as inappropriate and unfair, the issuing of notices to 60 families in West Dublin to quit their rental accommodation after a deal done by a Goldman Sachs vulture fund with indebted developers.

More than 200 houses in Cruise Park, Tyrellstown are likely to be sold as part of the deal, reported by the Sunday Business Post, in which the Goldman Sachs fund, Bethany Property Finance, bought an €89 million loan given by Ulster Bank to Vieira, a company owned by property developers Michael and Richard Larkin.

The €89 million loan was one element of Ulster Bank's major Project Achill portfolio of development loans that the Goldman Sachs fund bought.

The paper reported that 60 of the 208 householders have received notices from Twinlite, a Larkin property company, that their leases would not be renewed, and understood that all 208 homes in the development would be sold. Some tenants have lived in the development for up to 10 years.

Gaza's new generation of children - and all they know

If you keep depriving children from Gaza of everything, eventually some of them will join armed conflict and Israel will have no one to blame but themselves, Belal Dabour, a Palestinian doctor from Gaza, told RT.

The Israeli Air Force launched an airstrike on Hamas bases on Saturday, March 12, in which a 10-year-boy who lived next to one of the targets was killed, Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said, according to AFP. His six-year-old sister died later of her injuries, local media reported.

RT interviewed Dr. Belal Dabour, who assisted many injured during Operation Protective Edge in 2014, for his take on the situation.

RT: Do you see many children injured by Israeli attacks and how are they affected by the situation?

RT media crew under fire while filming in Daraa city, Syria

Mortars landed near to where an RT crew was filming in the city of Daraa in southwest Syria, RT's Lizzie Phelan reported after escaping from the scene. Journalists might have been the target of the attack, an accompanying military official said. "Two mortars [were] fired from opposition turf near where we were filming," Phelan said, reporting from the area close to the border with Jordan.

A mortar shell hit a building near to where RT journalists were working. No injuries have been reported following the incident. "We were in the streets of Daraa city talking to local people five years since the war began, and our work there was cut short when a mortar was fired from opposition territory, landing on a building very close to us," Phelan told RT by phone shortly after the incident. The crew had to cut short the interview, get into the car and leave the area.

"Just a few seconds after we got into the car, another mortar landed in the same area," she said. "The general in charge of the area believes that the attack was a targeted attack," the RT reporter said, adding that although there is no confirmation to prove or deny this allegation, the military official said that the area where RT was filming "is very rarely targeted by mortars."

"He believes that local people who support the opposition called fighters on the other side of the frontline to say that there was a media crew in the area," Phelan said, adding that according to the general "the opposition doesn't like media filming in government-held territories. We were somewhat successful," she added, saying that the crew managed to escape the scene and quickly get to Damascus.

Comment: Desperate times, desperate measures. As the Syrian government forces gain territory, the opposition apparently takes pot-shots where they can.

Insanity! The same cop kills two men within the course of 10 days

Pablo Torres
Officer Pablo Torres was "justified" in killing Kenosha, Wisconsin resident Aaron Siler a year ago because the officer "reasonably believed" that the victim, who was "armed" with a five-gallon plastic bucket, posed a potentially lethal threat, according to Kenosha County DA Robert Zapf.

Zapf's ruling focused on Torres's subjective perception of a threat, maintaining that "the standard is what an ordinary, prudent, and reasonably intelligent officer would have believed in Officer Torres's position, having the knowledge and training that Officer Torres possessed, and acting under the circumstances that existed at the time of the shooting."

On the evidence of this incident — among countless other very similar ones — the "knowledge and training" provided to Torres represent a net subtraction from his ability to make reasoned, appropriate decisions, given that non-police witnesses on the scene clearly and accurately perceived that Siler did not pose a lethal threat.

Comment: Officer Torres behaves no better than a rabid dog. He needs to be removed from society before he can kill again. By continuing to support this mad man, the entire Kenosha police department, as well as the DA's office, have blood on their hands.

Eagles of Death Metal frontman retracts his statement on the Paris terror attacks

paris shooting retraction
Now you see, it now you don't. One minute Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes is speaking directly, clearly, honestly and spontaneously about what he organically saw with his own eyes, what he was feeling and thinking as suspicious security personnel behaved oddly the night before the Paris shooting. The next minute Hughes is pulling a "Michael Hess" post-9/11 style 180-degree artificial retraction on his testimony.

Of course the controllers realize that the first organic version of the story confirms foreknowledge on the part of security. That foreknowledge would fit perfectly with the lack of clear evidence of the official story version of the story. The retracted artificial NEW narrative attempts to conveniently remove this foreknowledge and suspicious behavior. But in the end notice that the actual odd behavior and the security personnel who were mysteriously not working that day is still factual, only now we're asked to chalk it up to coincidence. Now where have we heard this before?

Paranoid UK: 4-yr-old Muslim boy who mispronounced 'cucumber' threatened with counter-terrorism program

A four-year-old Asian boy who mispronounced "cucumber" as "cooker bomb" was recommended for a de-radicalisation programme by staff at a UK nursery, the boy's family has said.

According to the child's mother, who has not been named, workers at the Luton-based nursery raised the suggestion after the boy drew a picture of a man with a large knife cutting the vegetable.

Alarmed at the sight of the knife, staff asked the child what he was drawing. They heard the child call it a "cooker bomb,"misinterpreting the boy's words as a type of improvised explosive device, when in reality it was a mispronunciation of"cucumber," the BBC reported.
