The teenager who attacked a school teacher and his classmates in a city in Russia's Urals was reportedly inspired by the Columbine High School massacre. The teen was planning to slaughter his schoolmates and then commit suicide.

The 17-year-old boy, identified by the local media as Artyom, was armed with a knife and attempted to set fire to the school after attacking several people inside a classroom in the city of Sterlitamak, in the Republic of Bashkortostan.

The teenager entered a computer science class and attacked a female student and a teacher with a knife, according to Russia's Investigative Committee. He then poured out a flammable substance, set it on fire, and tried to commit suicide.

As more information on the attack emerged online, several local outlets reported that an armband with Nazi-style insignia was found in the class where the teen carried out the attack. Then photos purportedly showing Artyom posing with a swastika armband began circulating in the Russian media.

Far-right Israelis have tried to prevent thousands of Jews and Arabs from jointly attending an alternative memorial service in honor of fallen victims on both sides of the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Around 8,000 Palestinians and Israelis assembled at Tel Aviv's HaYarkon Park on Tuesday evening to take part in a joint alternative Memorial Day vigil to honor the fallen family members on both sides of the decades-long feud. The peace activists also slammed Avigdor Lieberman's decision to ban some 110 Palestinians from attending the ceremony. Despite the Defense Minister's push to expel Palestinians, the Supreme Court ordered Lieberman to grant entry permits to 90 West Bank residents, although the order came too late for some to attend the ceremony.

Comment: Lieberman is also the official who set the murderous 'rules of engagement' for the Gaza Land Day protests

The Sarco 3D-printed euthanasia device was showcased during a funeral fair in Amsterdam on April 14, 2018.

A controversial suicide pod that enables its occupant to kill themselves at a press of a button went on display at Amsterdam funeral show on Saturday.

Called the "Sarco", short for sarcophagus, the 3D-printed machine invented by Australian euthanasia activist Philip Nitschke and Dutch designer Alexander Bannink comes with a detachable coffin, mounted on a stand that contains a nitrogen canister.

"The person who wants to die presses the button and the capsule is filled with nitrogen. He or she will feel a bit dizzy but will then rapidly lose consciousness and die," said Nitschke, who has been dubbed "Dr Death" for his work to legalise euthanasia.

The "Sarco" is a device "to provide people with a death when they wish to die," Nitschke told AFP.

Tucker Carlson on the Syria false flag: 'No chemical attack even happened'

Fake gas attack in Douma, Syria

This is a major and massive embarrassment for POTUS Trump.

Tucker Carlson interviews Peter Ford, a retired British diplomat who was ambassador to Bahrain from 1999-2003 and to Syria.

Ford references recent facts as reported by The Duran, detailing how western journalists on the ground in Douma, Syria have seen zero indication of any type of chemical attack taking place. See here and here.

Comment: Tucker goes on to own Killary sycophant Richard Goodstein over the insanity of baiting Russia to excuse her catastrophic election loss.

And he's done it again above - blasting the Washington elite's obsession with their McCarthyite inquisition in search of a crime Donald Trump or his associates might have committed in "collusion" with Russia.

At the same time, they're aggressively pushing the USA into direct armed conflict with the world's only other nuclear superpower over Syria - a country with jack squat to do with US national security.

US Senator John McCain, who was diagnosed last year with an aggressive form of brain cancer, has taken a diminished role in Congress in recent months.

US Senator John McCain, who is battling brain cancer, was in stable condition Monday after undergoing surgery to treat an infection, an aide said, adding that Senate colleagues have made frequent visits to see him.

"On Sunday, Senator McCain was admitted to Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, and underwent surgery to treat an intestinal infection related to diverticulitis," spokeswoman Julie Tarallo said.

McCain, 81, was diagnosed last year with an aggressive type of cancer, glioblastoma, after a brain tumor was discovered by doctors.

It has led to a reduced role in Congress for the veteran lawmaker, who was the Republican presidential nominee in 2008 and currently chairs the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee.

Doing Assad's job: OPCW report says Syria planned to demolish building US missiles destroyed

No protective gear — Apparently government soldier has no reason to fear sarin/chlorine release

A 2017 OPCW report says Syrians were cooperating in the process of demolishing the Barzah facility -- the main target of Trump's attack. Instead Trump fired seventy-six $1.9 million Tomahawks at them (so says Pentagon).

The main target of Trump's latest Syria strike, that according to the US no fewer than 76 of the 105 total cruise missiles were fired at - was going to be demolished anyway:

"In a report issued just in March of this year, OPCW confirms the Syrian government was cooperating in the process of demolishing the facility."

Comment: Which confirms that the US is ready to spend millions for merely theatrical purposes:

13 million displaced Syrians reside in these 11 countries

America's seven year regime change war on Syria has left nearly 13 million people displaced, and without a home.

Unfortunately, US UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has signaled that instead of simply disengaging from a disastrous policy in Syria, the United States plans on doubling down, by keeping occupation forces within Syria for the indefinite future.

Comment: Worried about immigrant refugees flooding other countries and causing social chaos? Stop harassing the Syrian government, supporting the jihadists and playing chicken with Russia, and when the country settles back into peace, most of them will return home to rebuild their lives.

Zuckerberg's ex-speechwriter: Mark frequently declared 'domination!' & 'companies over countries' during meetings

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's former speechwriter has claimed he used to declare, "domination!" and "companies over countries" during company meetings.

Kate Losse, who worked as Zuckerberg's speechwriter and blog writer between 2009 and 2011, claimed in an article for Vox that the Facebook CEO would "raise his fist with a slight smile and say, 'Domination!' as a way of closing out our weekly Friday all-hands meeting."

"The idea of 'domination' seemed as much a half-serious, half-joking fantasy as a hard-set mission," declared Losse, who added that eventually, "the idea of domination started to become plausible."

Vatican exorcism course opens with 250 priests from 50 countries

The Vatican has opened its doors for its annual exorcism course amid increasing demand among some of the world's Catholic communities.

As many as 250 priests from 50 countries have arrived in Rome to learn how to identify demonic possession, to hear personal accounts from other priests and to find out more about the rituals behind expelling demons.

Exorcism remains controversial, in part due to its depiction in popular culture and horror films. But there have also been some cases of abuse linked to exorcisms in a range of religious sects.

The week-long Vatican course is described as the only international series of lectures of its kind. Entitled Exorcism and the Prayer of Liberation, it first opened its doors in 2005 and the number of priests attending has more than doubled since then. The event costs €300 (£260, $370) and covers the theological, psychological and anthropological background to exorcisms.

Comment: The really interesting question is: Why are people reporting a dramatic increase in 'demonic possession' lately?
