SOTT Focus: Knowledge and Freedom: Antidote to the rising fascism

Police state
Dear Readers and Critics,

It is time we had a little talk about what is going on here on our planet, our home; our beautiful blue, green and gold marble that spins through the velvet blackness of space in tandem with its brother and sister planets and its parent star: our Sun that gives us life. Lovely image, yes? Poetic, even. Well, all of those complicated things involved in the gift of life seem to be presently under threat by that most interesting of evolutionary developments: homo schizoidius.

We all know something is wrong in our world. Just consider the hysteria that is spreading like a plague. Most recently we have a French teacher stabbing himself and claiming it was a terrorist attack. After being arrested, he was sent to the mental ward. This was a guy who had been teaching and influencing children for twenty years! Then, there was the absolute limit: a waitress in a bar called police after mistaking a mic stand for a gun! A band member was carrying it inside to set up for a performance! Streets were shut down, SWAT team came out, and people could have been killed - including said waitress if she would only stop to think a moment. How many people have recently called cops to help sort a situation only to end up having their loved ones killed, or even being shot themselves? If she has so little common sense, that waitress ought not to breed and spawn, that's for sure.

Malala Yousafzai slams Trump: His comments are full of hatred towards Muslim immigrants

Nobel prize winner Malala Yousafzai condemned Donald Trump's views on Muslims on Tuesday, at a somber ceremony to remember the 134 children killed in a Taliban attack on a Pakistani school a year ago.

"Well, that's really tragic that you hear these comments which are full of hatred, full of this ideology of being discriminative towards others," Malala told AFP, in response to recent comments by the US Republican presidential candidate.

Trump has been heavily criticized for calling for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States after a Muslim husband and wife killed 14 people in a shooting rampage in California, an incident classified as a terrorist act.

Speaking at the ceremony in the city of Birmingham, central England, Malala's father Ziauddin Yousafzai also criticized Trump's comments.

Comment: Fascist Trump spews his hatred at Muslims, playing on the fear of the average Joe in America who has been brainwashed that all Muslims are evil. Has the groundwork been laid for a Hitler repeat in the good old USA?

Eighty years ago Edgar Cayce predicted Putin's role in stopping WW3

Edgar Cayce
Watching geo-political events unfold today is like watching a slow motion train wreck, especially if you're informed by history and understand the connection between 'World Wars' and the unseen influences behind international politics and global banking.

Edgar Cayce is one of the world's most revered psychics, the 'Sleeping Prophet,' as they called him, and many consider him to be the father of holistic medicine. Entering into trance-like states of consciousness at will, he could divine information from some extra-ordinary plane of existence on behalf of his patients or in response to specific queries from an audience. He was remarkably insightful and accurate, which is why his name is so familiar to so many.

Much of what he brought back from the 'Source' of his inspired information pertained to specific medical issues, but in the staggering volumes of his readings and written works there is an abundance of insight and prophecy related to larger global political and social events.

Just in time for the holidays, Kentucky shelter tosses out all women because they tempt men with 'ungodly' sex

older woman
A Kentucky homeless shelter said that it has banned all women and children in an effort to stop them from having sex with male residents.

Emergency Christian Ministries Director Billy Woodward told WYMT that he had to put a stop to the "sex problem."

"They may want to meet or slip in a room occasionally, we can't have that," Woodward explained. "It seems like these last days it's getting worse ... the ungodly type."

"They say, 'We're homeless, maybe we can find somebody, a mate or something,'" he continued. "If they done it right, it would be fine. But, you know, they go overboard with it."

Emergency Christian Ministries forced up to a dozen women to leave, according to WYMT. It was not immediately clear if the women had been able to relocate because Emergency Christian Ministries is the only shelter for the homeless in Williamsburg.

Comment: No matter what kind of problems may have been going on, Woodward should have found a solution that didn't involve banning women and their children. Really, what is the point of having a shelter if you're going to ban those that need it most?

A London court has cleared property developer Ehsan Abdulaziz, 46, of raping an 18-year-old girl after just 30 minutes of deliberation. The London-based Saudi millionaire claimed he may have accidentally penetrated the teenager after he fell on her.

Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday cleared Abdulaziz of one count of rape.

The court heard that Abdulaziz had met the teenager, whose name has not been disclosed, when she was partying with a 24-year-old friend who knew the businessman at Cirque le Soir nightclub in London's West End.

Abdulaziz invited both women to join him at his table and eventually asked them back to his apartment.

Once at his London home, the man offered the two some vodka and slept with the 24-year-old woman in a bedroom while her friend slept on his couch.

The alleged victim claims she awoke in the early hours of the morning to Abdulaziz forcing himself on her.

When pathocrats rule: High levels of lead found in children's blood, state of emergency declared in Flint, MI

flint MI, lead drinking water
"The City of Flint has experienced a Manmade disaster," said the city's mayor Monday evening, as she declared a state of emergency over evidently staggering levels of lead in the city's tap water. Mayor Karen M. Weaver has requested federal assistance to deal with the fallout from over a year's worth of tainted water delivered to Flint residents and, allegedly, falsely declared safe by government officials.

In September, news broke that lead contamination was on the rise in Flint. Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha of the Hurley Medical Center concluded that since the water supply switched from the Detroit system to Flint River in April 2014, the number of infants and children with elevated levels of lead in their blood had doubled, from 2.1% to 4%. While the rise seems small, it is statistically significant. Even so, Attisha warned: "My research shows that lead levels have gone up. I cannot say it's from the water. But that's, you know, the thing that has happened."

Comment: Those leaders who are showing responsibility for this disaster and have expressed concern for the health of Flint's citizens should be made aware of this:

French teacher who stabbed himself and claimed attack was from a terrorist sent to psychiatric hospital

A French teacher who falsely claimed he had been stabbed by a man shouting "Islamic State" has been sent to a psychiatric hospital, prosecutors say. The teacher at a school near Paris made the claim on Monday morning before admitting he had made the story up. He was taken into custody but has been moved to hospital after a psychiatric examination. France remains on high alert following the terror attacks in Paris on 13 November that left 130 people dead.

The psychiatric examination found that his "judgement had been impaired and that he was not in a fit state to be in custody", prosecutors said. They added that further psychiatric assessment would be sought. The teacher said he had been attacked while alone in a classroom in Aubervilliers, a suburb of Paris. But prosecutors said he had wounded himself with a box cutter. The 45-year-old teacher - who has not been named - was treated in hospital for superficial wounds to his side and neck.

The mayor of Aubervilliers, Pascal Beaudet, said the teacher had 20 years' experience and was "appreciated" by parents at the school. The education ministry said the man had been suspended. The incident sparked a manhunt in the northern suburb, as police tried to track down the alleged attacker. All classes at the Jean-Perrin preschool were cancelled.

Parents of a sixth grader in the US state of Texas have complained to their child's school after they say he was given homework that spelled out how to become a coke dealer.

Scott Pick was shocked when he noticed that make-up work, given to his 11-year-old son after he missed class at Bear Creek Intermediate due to illness, detailed the supply chain of cocaine from cartel to the mean streets.

"I walked by and noticed that in big bold letters across the front of his assignment it said... cocaine," Pick told CBS 11. "I felt like they were giving my kid a diagram of how to become a drug dealer."

He explained the incident has spawned some uncomfortable drug-related questions and he refused to let his son complete the class paper, which asks students to think "critically" about the narcotic.

Released Guantanamo prisoner Shaker Aamer recounts brutal torture interrogations

"It was worse than the beating," Shaker Aamer told the BBC about alleged threats of rape by interrogators against his then five-year-old daughter. Free after 14 years of uncharged detention in Guantanamo, Aamer has the US and UK addressing torture again.

"'If you don't start talking, we will rape your daughter and you will hear her crying daddy, daddy.' That was completely inhumane. It was worse than the beating as well, worse than everything, just thinking of my daughter, and I just sat there silent completely," Aamer told the BBC on Monday, describing an event at Bagram Air Base, where he was temporarily held before being transferred to the military detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, sometimes referred to as Gitmo. He relayed the same story to ITV News and other outlets as well.

When asked about the claim at a press briefing, State Department spokesman John Kirby gave a standard response, saying, "We don't torture. The United States does not torture."

Noting that he hadn't seen Aamer's comments, Kirby continued, "I don't know what he's referring to, but I can tell you that we meet our obligations under international law for the humane treatment of detainees."
