London-based Russian businessman Georgy Shuppe has strongly denied reports of his poisoning, recently published by The Sun newspaper. He suggested that British reporters wanted to "agitate everyone" and sow "total panic."

"Nothing of what has happened there was connected with what they wrote in the newspaper. My illness had complications and I got into hospital. Yes, police were there, they tried to find something, but they found nothing," Shuppe said in an interview with Russian news agency RBC.

Shuppe is a venture businessman specializing in the telecom and internet sectors. He permanently resides in London, as he has been charged in Russia with conspiracy to murder one of his business partners and steal his property. The suspected conspiracy dates back to 2014. In August 2017, a UK court rejected a handover request from Moscow and released the businessman from bail.

UK govt to 'review possible measures' against RT over Skripal's case - UPDATE

The UK Office of Communications (Ofcom) will review possible measures against RT broadcaster in relation to the suspected poisoning of former officer of Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) Sergei Skripal after UK Prime Minister Theresa May's speech at the Parliament on Wednesday, the regulator said in a statement on Monday.

"The Russian news channel RT broadcasts in the UK under licences issued by Ofcom as the broadcasting regulator ... We have heard the Prime Minister's statement in the House of Commons this afternoon and we await her further statement on Wednesday. We will then consider the implications for RT's broadcast licences," the statement read.

Comment: This is beyond ridiculous. Russia had no reason to poison Skripal and there is no evidence that it was involved. But even in the unlikely case it had something to do with it, what has that got to do with RT?

More absurdities: Here's more from Ofcom's statement, and RT's response:
In a statement, Ofcom said: "As the independent UK broadcasting regulator, Ofcom has an ongoing duty to be satisfied that broadcast licensees remain fit and proper to hold their licences.

"We have today written to ANO TV Novosti, holder of RT's UK broadcast licences, which is financed from the budget of the Russian Federation. This letter explained that, should the UK investigating authorities determine that there was an unlawful use of force by the Russian State against the UK, we would consider this relevant to our ongoing duty to be satisfied that RT is fit and proper."

"The letter to RT said that we would carry out our independent fit and proper assessment on an expedited basis, and we would write to RT again shortly setting out details of our process."

RT said in a statement that it disagreed with the position taken by Ofcom. "Our broadcasting has in no way changed this week from any other week, and continues to adhere to all standards.

"By linking RT to unrelated matters, Ofcom is conflating its role as a broadcasting regulator with matters of state. RT remains a valuable voice in the UK news landscape, covering vital yet neglected stories and voices, including those of the many MPs and other UK public figures who have been shut out of public discourse by the mainstream media."
It's totally mad. Here's the Twitter buzz:



Labour MP Chris Bryant called for RT's license to be revoked, despite having appeared on the network himself. If the Brits are this stupid and malevolent, they'll pay for it: Barmy British Government threatens to ban RT UK! Zakharova responds: 'If London shuts down RT, no British media outlet will work in Russia'.

far right UK group
A member of anti-Islam group Generation Identity (GI) was part of far-right terrorist group National Action (NA), now banned in the UK, an advocacy group has exposed. Jacob Bewick, 27, was spotted at one of NA's marches in 2016.

National Action was the first far-right group to be banned under counterterrorism laws by Home Secretary Amber Rudd amid claims it was a "racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic organization." According to anti-racism campaigners Hope Not Hate, Sheffield-born Bewick had been a member of the group.

His Twitter account contains numerous neo-Nazi and pro-National Action posts. In a post from January 2017 on Twitter, he wrote: "Hitler Speaks About the Jews. The truth the world would be so much better if he world of won. It's coming now tho [sic]."

Florida school shooter revealed gory fantasies and violent impulses to therapists for years

More Signs: Parkland Killer Revealed 'Gory Fantasies,' Violent Impulses to Therapists For Years
The warning signs were everywhere. The Parkland killer was very familiar to the Broward County Sheriff's office, which had responded to dozens of calls involving him and his family over the last decade. The FBI did not follow-up on two explicit tips that the young man's online presence strongly suggested that he was a powder keg waiting to explode. After an incident involving bullets, the gunman was asked not to carry a backpack to school, presumably over fears that he might attempt to bring a firearm into the building. And now the Miami Herald has obtained psychological records demonstrating that therapists grappled for years with disturbing patterns of behavior exhibited by the eventual mass murder -- from blood-soaked dreams to violent outbursts to deep-seated paranoia:

Meet Gabriele Kuby: The sociologist exposing the Western-led 'gender agenda'

Gabriele Kuby, author of The Global Sexual Revolution.
On 14 October last year, a play called FEAR premiered in Berlin. The play, written and directed by Falk Richter, centres around five "zombies", who are five pro-family women known to Germans for their public rejection of gender ideology.

The "actors" poke out the zombies' eyes, and at one point a character says "to shoot them in the brain, as only then will they be really dead". The curtains close to loud applause.

Not surprisingly, life soon imitated art and there were arson attacks on two of the women. One, Hedwig von Beverfoerde had her van firebombed, the fire spreading to the headquarters of her family business, destroying it.

One of the five is Gabriele Kuby, German sociologist, writer and mother of three. She is author of the book The Global Sexual Revolution: Destruction of Freedom in the Name of Freedom, published in English translation in 2015.

She visited Australia in October, sponsored by Parousia Media, to warn of the dangers of gender-ideology and legalisation of same-sex marriage.

FBI whistle blower: Agents told not to investigate key evidence in Mandalay Bay Las Vegas massacre

The "official" narrative you've been fed by the FBI and Las Vegas officials about the massacre at Mandalay Bay that claimed 58 lives is purely fiction, a polished story contrived to cover up the disturbing facts surrounding the worst mass shooting ever in the United States, according the FBI insiders and high-ranking intelligence officials.

And now, after months of corporate-infused spin by MGM Resorts and outright lies from officials in the FBI and the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, federal agents and intelligence officials are spilling the beans about what really happened on and before the Oct. 1 massacre.

"It's a movie script that was written after the shooting to rewrite what really happened," one FBI agent said. "The investigation is an entirely different story that we are not allowed to talk about. If we do and get caught, we get fired and probably charged (criminally)."

Father subjects daughter to FGM twice to ‘punish her,’ Old Bailey hears
A father subjected his nine-year-old daughter to female genital mutilation (FGM) to punish her. The girl was subjected to the traumatic practice on two occasions, the Old Bailey has heard.

The father, 50, and from west Africa, allegedly allowed for his UK-born daughter, now 16, to be cut in their south London home because he believed she had stolen money. The court heard the girl was stripped from the waist down and cut on the floor of the family's hallway.

Jurors were told the victim could not tell whether the cutter was a man or a woman. She had begged for the mutilation to stop, but her father kept "egging the person" on.

Comment: It doesn't matter who performed the mutilation, the father and the female doing it should face the full force of the law for the horrifying abuse - that they did it twice is even more chilling: Five Feminist Lies We Take For Granted

Jordan Peterson, author of the No. 1 bestseller "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos."

I want to start by saying: if you don't have a ticket to see Jordan Peterson while he's in Australia, run and get one. Beg, borrow and steal to get one. Except you can't.

Peterson arrived in Australia this week for what, to their dismay, local organisers - a small company, True Arrow Events - immediately recognised is a too-short series of lectures in too-small theatres, on too few dates. He is sold out everywhere.

People can't get enough of the 55-year-old psychologist. So, what will you be missing?

Prof. Jordan Peterson of the University of Toronto is the author of the best-selling book “12 Rules For Life.”
Depending on who you ask, Professor Jordan B. Peterson is either the most influential public intellectual in the western world at the moment, or an "alt-right" figurehead who peddles "pseudo-facts" and conspiracy theories.

But there's no denying that the Canadian clinical psychologist and author, currently in Australia for a sold-out lecture series in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane to promote his best-selling book 12 Rules for Life, has struck a nerve.
