A schoolgirl carrying on her body a heart monitoring device was asked off a bus in Russia's Yekaterinburg, after a passenger claimed she was a terrorist. The stressful incident apparently affected the girl's health.

The girl, a ninth-grader identified as Tanya N. by local media, is undergoing treatment at the local cardio center. She had a CardioDayHolter device fixed on her body at a local clinic to monitor cardio activity throughout the day, Tanya's relatives say. "She stepped out of the hospital, took a bus and there, a woman called her a terrorist and the bus conductor asked [my granddaughter] to get off," Irina Charova told RT.

The girl herself told local media outlet Nasha Gazeta that "an old lady" was sitting in front of her. When she saw the wires of the device, she started screaming "You're a terrorist! You're gonna blow all of us up! I'm not going any further with her [the girl]." The bus conductor suggested that one side of the conflict should leave the bus. The "old lady" flatly refused to leave, so Tanya had to get off.


Comment: The ripple effect that the myth of terror has on a ponerized society is quite stunning.


She took the next bus and made it home, raising no suspicion this time, Charova said, adding that the outcome of the incident was that Tanya was upset, presenting a bad electrocardiogram and her blood pressure had spiked. The incident happened July 29, but the local media only learnt of it August 3, after the girl's relatives decided to make the story public.

Authorities are deciding whether any action should be taken against the bus company or other parties. "The Prosecutor's Office [will look into] the driver of the public transport vehicle [and] the owner company to verify whether the security rules... were violated," the Sverdlovsk Region Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.

Putin is a riot!: What if "Pussy Riot" occurred at a synagogue in Israel?

Putin pussy riot
Translated by Inessa Sinchougova

Western neoliberal ideology attempts to destroy all that is of conservative or traditional values. Where there is no consensus and no national interests - it is easier to pass almost any legislation at all. While Europeans have already, for the most part, been robbed and guilt-tripped out of their unique identities - the same template tends to backfire when applied to Russia.

In 2012- 2013, the punk band "Pussy Riot" took on the role of a marionette of Western propaganda against the Russian state. Its mandate was to attack the "human rights record" of the Russian government and as such, help paint Vladimir Putin as a "dictator" - by now, a fully absorbed aspect of CIA vernacular, espoused onto the American public.

In 2012, the members of Pussy Riot stormed into a Moscow cathedral, defaming the government, while mocking the beliefs of churchgoers with vulgarity and disruptive behaviour. They received a 2 year sentence in the process, but were released early in 2013 - only to cause a scene at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Having completed their task, they went on to CNN to interview about their ordeal. Any person with at least a half a brain understands, that if they were free to do this (the CNN interview took place in their home, in Russia) - then their allegations of not living in a free country, are contrary to logic.

Comment: The brainwashed "liberal" West has neither the information or imagination to understand how the U.S. hybrid war against Russia could take the form of the ridiculous and repulsive "Pussy Riot"...

Hysteria and intimidation: National Guard, state police and DEA raid 81yo cancer patient's organic garden to snatch four medical marijuana plants

In a gross display of wasted taxpayer dollars, dozens of Massachusetts National Guard personnel, operating under a grant from the DEA, alongside Massachusetts State Police, descended into the backyard of an 81-year-old cancer patient in a raid last week — to protect society from the dangers of his four marijuana plants.

Paul Jackson, 81, of Martha's Vineyard, grows cannabis to make medicine. His plants, along with several other plants, became the target of law enforcement last week in a crackdown on hardened criminals who'd dare to grow a plant that helps them.

Jackson was in his backyard last Tuesday when plainclothes men and a helicopter descended on his property. With no warrant, and without showing identification, these heroes ripped Jackson's plants from the ground.

"They just come charging through and start cutting it down," Jackson said in an interview with the MV Times.

According to the MV Times, Mr. Jackson, a lifelong Islander and renowned organic gardener with over 300 ribbons from the Martha's Vineyard Agricultural Fair, expressed both bewilderment and disgust when he spoke to The Times on Friday.

"I told them they don't know what they're doing, they're destroying it and it could be used for good purposes," he said. "I know because I went through it before. You wrote about it in The Times. I had the article framed, took it out to show them; I said, 'This is proof of what it does,' but they didn't want to hear it."

Comment: This raid appears to be a high-profile tactic of intimidation to pave the way for Monsanto and BigPharma's eventual takeover of medical marijuana:

A Russian woman was seriously injured when a huge explosion rocked her relatives' house in Aleppo, Syria. Irina Barakyat heard a terrible roar outside and rushed to cover her daughter and son from the bomb. Saving their lives cost her a leg and a hand.

Barakyat is married to a Syrian man and has been living in Aleppo for the past 13 years. She was asked by her mother-in-law to come by to give an injection to her husband, who recently had a stroke. Barakyat agreed, taking her three children with her with a plan to stay overnight.

"When we woke up in the morning, I heard a terrible roar. I've never heard anything like that before. I realized I had to act without losing any time. My elder son and daughter stood nearby. I jumped on them, stretching my arm and leg, covering my kids. I heard a rumble, then saw my father-in-law lying on the floor. He was not breathing. My mother-in-law was injured. My children stayed alive because I had covered them. My son only broke a limb, and my daughter didn't sustain any injuries. My middle son had been sleeping in his room when the bomb went off."

Pesticide drift: Farmers at the mercy of Monsanto as new weed-killer ravages soy crops

Farmers in Arkansas, Tennessee and southern Missouri are angry at their neighbors - and agrochemical giant Monsanto - over a new weed-killer that has ravaged 200,000 acres of soybean fields. The herbicide is used to treat Monsanto's new strand of soy.

As controversies mount over its glyphosate-based herbicide, also known as Roundup, the Missouri-based Monsanto has rolled out a new soybean seed intended to be resistant to another weed-killer, known as dicamba. While the "Roundup Ready 2 Xtend" soy has been approved for planting in 2016, US federal regulators have yet to approve the use of dicamba.

Farmers who bought Monsanto's seeds have taken to spraying their crops with dicamba obtained from other vendors - which is prone to drifting into neighboring fields, severely damaging the non-Xtend crops. Officials across the three states cite a "rough figure" of 200,000 acres affected by the drift, Delta Farm Press reported.

"Dicamba is a chemical that really blows easily in the wind. And it is really toxic to regular old soybeans," according to Dan Charles of National Public Radio. "A lot of people are quite angry, mostly at their neighbors but also at Monsanto for putting this seed out there on the market."

The Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has become infamous due to the increasing incidents of rape but what is more disturbing is that many of these rapes are recorded and sold as 'rape videos' brazenly in the market at throw away prices.

'Rape videos' have become a new trend in the state of Uttar Pradesh and they can be found all over the state. These rape videos are in high demand and they are being sold with a price tag from 75 US cents to $3, depending upon the exclusivity of the clips.

Real life rape videos have become a craze among the youth, surpassing the demand for regular porn clips. Shopkeepers sell the videos by directly downloading them into smartphones or put them in a thumb drive.

It has been observed that in several cases, culprits involved in rapes take video of the crime and post them online.

Comment: This shows the horrifically shocking state humans have reached on this blue planet!

Police asked Facebook to suspend Korryn Gaines' account during fatal standoff

During a five-hour standoff that ended in the death of a Maryland mother, police asked Facebook to suspend her social media accounts. Korryn Gaines had been streaming the confrontation and previously posted recorded encounters on Instagram.

Gaines, 23, was killed and her five-year-old son wounded, when police opened fire around 3:00pm on Monday. They arrived at her apartment in Randallstown, northwest of Baltimore, that morning, attempting to arrest Gaines for not appearing in court over a traffic stop in March.

The police request, which may be without precedent, is particularly interesting in light of the fact that Gaines had been a prolific Instagram and Facebook user, posting many videos of her encounters with the law on social media.

"We did in fact reach out to social media authorities to deactivate her account," Baltimore County Police Chief James Johnson told reporters Tuesday. "Why? In order to preserve the integrity of the negotiation process with her and for the safety of our personnel [and] her child. Ms. Gaines was posting video of the operation as it unfolded. Followers were encouraging her not to comply with negotiators' request that she surrender peacefully."

Comment: During the coup attempt in Turkey, social media was shut down. Luckily the mosques' call-to-prayer speaker systems were utilized to inform neighborhoods about the events, calling the people to action. Without this means of communication, the people might not have turned out in the numbers they did to oppose the coup. Does the U.S. have anything in place to serve the same purpose in a similar situation? Short answer: nope.

Use once, then throw away: 40,000 U.S. veterans are homeless

The Obama administration's six-year effort to completely eradicate veteran homelessness has met half of its goal, reducing it by 47 percent. However, despite coordinated federal, state and local efforts, 40,000 veterans are still homeless.

"[We've] got to keep fighting for the dignity of every veteran. And that includes ending the tragedy, the travesty of veterans' homelessness," said commander in chief, Barack Obama, before an audience at the Disabled American Veterans annual convention in Atlanta, Georgia on Monday. "Two states, Virginia and Connecticut, as well as 27 cities and towns across the country have effectively ended veteran homelessness."


Comment: Obama is right. But doesn't it speak volumes that there was a problem in the first place? What kind of country treats its soldiers like this? First they send them off to fight in illegal wars of aggression, then throw them to the wolves if they manage to come back alive. There's no dignity in being cannon fodder for the Empire.


The White House goal was to eradicate veteran homelessness over five years under an initiative known as Opening Doors, launched in 2010 and involving federal and state actors and nonprofit organizations and institutions. The administration spent $16 billion the program, and increase the overall Veterans Affairs budget by 85 percent, according to the Washington Times.

Disturbing video from a homeowner's surveillance cameras shows the moment police "murdered" her beloved dog.

In an instant, over a decade of companionship with the dog she rescued from a shelter ended with a bullet.

Northland, Missouri, resident Brandi Buschman is the latest to mourn a beloved pet because police officers reacted with gunfire instead of restraint — a law enforcement response so common, it has been given a name: puppycide.

"They killed her, and she died right there in front of my steps," Buschman lamented in an interview with local CBS affiliate KCTV5. "She ain't deserve that."

Woman calls 911 during traffic stop over fears of Houston cop - who then attacks her

Newly released video disputes police claims about a black social worker's violent arrest earlier this year while talking to a 911 dispatcher during a traffic stop in Houston.

A police officer pulled over Earledreka White in March for crossing the double white line, and she called 911 to ask for police backup because she was afraid of the officer who stopped her, reported the Houston Chronicle.

"I would like another officer to come out here," she says to the dispatcher. "My heart is racing. I'm really afraid."

The 28-year-old White was placed in handcuffs and charged with resisting arrest during the encounter, and then jailed for two days — where she feared she might end up dead like Sandra Bland, another black woman arrested in Texas following a routine traffic stop.

White said she remained calm throughout the encounter, and she has accused the officer of unnecessarily escalating the situation.

"Being pulled over is not the troubling part — what happened after being pulled over is what baffles me," White told the newspaper. "As I tell the dispatcher that this man is threatening to 'Tase' me, he backs away, then comes back and literally tries to break my arm."
