Germans worried refugee crisis will ruin Oktoberfest

Ursula Stellenberger, a 70-year-old Munich native, has been joining the annual giant Oktoberfest beer party for more than half a century but says this year's edition is unlikely to resemble any other.

The largest influx of refugees seen in decades in Germany has run smack into what Munich calls the world's biggest popular festival, starting Saturday, creating a massive headache for security forces and leaving some locals nervous about an awkward culture clash.

Sipping a lager in a beer garden opposite the sprawling Wiesn grounds of the Oktoberfest, Stellenberger says she is "proud" of her hometown for welcoming war-weary Syrians and Iraqis with an outpouring of donations and hospitality.

Comment: Don't let the sight of human suffering ruin your good time, Oktoberfesters.

Justifying police brutality: U.S. officials lament an 'undeclared war' against law enforcement

According to an online page which is regularly updated by the Washington Post, 705 people have been killed by police in the US this year, including 65 unarmed victims and 181 who were showing signs of mental illness.

However, now US statistics reveal that people are fighting back as the number of police killed in the line of duty indicates. Many experts claim that ordinary Americans have waged a full-scale war against law enforcement.

According to recently released statistics, some 51 police officers were killed across the US in 2014, almost double the number of murdered cops in 2013, when 27 cases were reported.

Video shows cops breaking into family's backyard, killing dog in front of 2-year-old girl

Police car
A cellphone video surfaced this week showing two Fresno cops, breaking into a locked yard and killing a family dog.

Police were apparently responding to a call from a neighbor about a crying baby when they broke through the family's fence and entered their backyard. As they walked into the back yard, they completely ignored the "Beware of Dog" sign and the "Guard dog on duty" sign, and they ignored the dog himself.

Carelessly ignoring all these signs, the two officers frightened the family pit bull whose name is Face. Instead of attempting to get out of the yard they were trespassing in, one of the officers kicked the dog, then drew his weapon and fired several times into Face.

As the other officer became startled by the shots, he fell backward over the lawn furniture. The officer who initially fired then walked over and put one more round into Face — for good measure.

Comment: This is the new normal for police; shoot first and ask questions later. What were they even thinking by not just going to the front door and knocking to inquire what was going on?

Veterans run ad in Air Force Times urging drone pilots to 'follow your conscience' and disobey orders

A US veterans' organizations is running an advertisement in Air Force Times urging military drone operators to refuse orders to fly attack missions. This comes as the Air Force encounters trouble retaining drone operators due to the stress of the job.

The ad was funded by KnowDrones, an organization that aims to achieve an outright ban on the use of weaponized drones

Many argue that drone operators do not know what they're getting into when they sign up for the job.

"What this ad is trying to do is to say, 'look at this now, understand the consequences and follow your conscience and do the right thing," KnowDrones coordinator Nick Mottern told RT. "Given the fact that the president and Congress won't act to stop this, we're appealing directly to the people who are being ordered to do the killing, and who have to bear the weight of this on their conscience to put a stop to it."

Comment: The work of the KnowDrones campaign hopefully will gain more traction. They certainly are continuing to push this very important topic.

Meet an American who joined the Novorussian army to fight fascism in Ukraine

Image
The People's Army of Donbass is fighting the West and Kiev at the front. Americans hear a lot about this conflict from various sources, but most know little about what is in effect a proxy war with Russia because they don't hear from people on the front line.

Well here is one American who's been there and done it, and is still doing it. Russell Bentley has seen enough of what is going on the world to know a good cause when he sees one. As he says, "The Russian-hating fascistic junta which seized power in Kiev, and is terrorising the people under the command of NATO and criminals it has imported from other countries where it did the same, will not be satisfied until Ukraine is destroyed and much of the region, including Europe, destabilised." He decided to do something about it, and here is his account of this conflict.

Can you provide some background about why you are in Ukraine?

First, I am not the only American fighting Fascism in Donbass. There are several I know of, and have met, but I am the only one I will be talking about today.

My name is Russell Bentley. I was born in Austin, Texas, in 1960. My call sign in the Novorussian Army is "Texas".

Comment: In contrast to the values of Russell Bentley, look who's joined the Kiev side of the conflict and why:

Video shows nine police officers arresting and throwing teen to concrete for jaywalking

Video shows nine police California officers arrested a black teenager and slammed him on to concrete while arresting him for jaywalking.

Witnesses said a Stockton police officer ordered the teenager to sit down, but the teen instead continued walking toward a waiting bus, reported RT.

Bystander Edgar Avendaño, who recorded the video, said the officer grabbed the teen's arm in attempt to stop him and then pulled out his baton after the teen "took off the cop's hand off his arm."

Stockton police told VICE News that the 16-year-old teen did not respond to an officer's request to get out of the bus lane.

"For safety reasons, the officer told the young man to get on the sidewalk," officer Joseph Silva said. "After the teenager refused to comply and used obscene language, the officer went over and a there was a scuffle."

Blacklisted Spanish journalist: Kiev persecuting media who tell the truth

The Ukrainian government is "persecuting people who are telling the truth," Cesar Vidal, Spanish historian and journalist, who has been blacklisted by Kiev along with other European journalists, told RT.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Wednesday introduced sanctions against hundreds of individuals and legal entities, including dozens of journalists. Among them were employees of the BBC, El Pais, Die Zeit and RT's Ruptly. On Thursday, apparently caving to pressure from European organizations and the media, he shortened the list striking off the names of journalists for British, German and Spanish media outlets.

Cesar Vidal, historian, writer and contributor for Spain's de La Razon, told RT that he was not surprised that Kiev did not remove him from the blacklist on Thursday.

He believes that he was included in the sanctions list in the first place because he wrote "about the falsehood of the thesis of Ukrainian nationalism" and about some media coverage of "the reality in Ukraine."

Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old Muslim boy from Texas who became famous after he was arrested for bringing a homemade digital clock to school, now says he wants his creation back. The timepiece has been in police custody ever since his Monday arrest.

The young engineer has been invited as a guest to myriad talk shows, to tour several high-profile Silicon Valley companies and even to the White House for a conversation with President Barack Obama. Despite all the hoopla surrounding him, Ahmed says he wants to get the thing back.

"The clock is still in the custody of the police. I want it back, with my humility," Ahmed said on 'Good Morning America'.

Ahmed is a ninth-grader keen on mechanics, and he said he just wanted to impress his new teachers at MacArthur High School in Irving with a clock he made by himself. Instead, the 14-year-old was suspended from school for three days after his English teacher confused it with a bomb.

A senior Russian government member told reporters the cabinet decided that any food production in the country will completely exclude any genetically-modified organisms or parts thereof.

"As far as genetically-modified organisms are concerned, we have made decision not to use any GMO in food productions," Deputy PM Arkady Dvorkovich said at an international conference on biotechnology in the Russian city of Kirov.

At the same time the official emphasized that there was a very clear line between this decision and the development of science, medicine and some other branches.

"This is not a simple issue, we must do very thorough work on division on these spheres and form a legal base on this foundation," he said.

Comment: Fortunately, more countries are realizing that GMO's pose serious risks to health and the environment and many are finally taking a stand against Monsanto's tyranny.
