A small plane crashed on Sunday in a field in northern Switzerland, careened across a road and collided with a car, according to police in the Swiss canton of Aargau.

The pilot of the plane and the driver of the car were injured and were transported to hospital following the crash about 1000 GMT, police said.

Local media images showed a black column of smoke rising above a mixed rural and residential area near several houses.

A silver car is shown upturned on its roof in a video on the website www.Blick.ch.

The plane crashed near the Swiss town of Holziken, about 30 km (19 miles) south of where the River Rhine forms the border between Germany and Switzerland.

Multiple fire crews and trucks were at the accident site.

Yay democracy: Victory for Syriza in record low turnout for Greek elections

'Yes, I won the right to do as I'm told!'
The Greek left-wing party Syriza is expected to take 145 seats in the 300-member parliament, the Interior Ministry said after counting 54 percent of the vote cast in the snap election Sunday. The leader of New Democracy, Syriza's main rival in the polling, has already conceded defeat.

"The electoral result appears to be concluding with Syriza and Mr Tspiras in the lead," New Democracy leader Vangelis Meimarakis said.

"I congratulate him and urge him to create the government which is needed and come to parliament."

The conservatives themselves have so far secured 75 seats.


Comment: At 55% voter participation, this is a record low turnout for Greek elections. Democracy's great, isn't it? You can 'game it' to turn an anti-austerity party into a pro-austerity party, then have the people approve it. Those Greeks who participated in this charade have essentially signalled their approval, and on behalf of the rest of the population, for the banksters and Eurocrats to continue as before.

At least three people have been injured, among them a woman, an infant and a pastor, in a shooting at the Oasis Church in East Selma, Alabama, US media reported. The suspect has been put in custody.

The suspect was identified by the Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson as James Minter. He has been arrested, according to local media reports. An Alabama prosecutor said that Minter has been charged with attempted murder of three people.

On Sunday morning, Minter allegedly shot his girlfriend, her newborn baby and the pastor of the church, according to The Selma Times-Journal. The paper said that he was local to Selma, which is home to some 19,000 people.

Comment: This is a sick society when a gun is used in domestic disputes. Good thing no one was killed.

Refugees housed in German school gyms, sports facilities, result in tensions, social conflicts

A gym is often the most available facility to house refugees. Currently, in many German regions local gyms are confiscated and used as refugee shelters amid the ongoing migrant crisis. This creates a number of difficulties and provokes social conflicts, an article in Die Welt read.

The Rudolf Harbig hall is one of the main sports facilities of Olympic Stadium in Berlin. It is a training location for many Berlin athletes and a venue for national and local tournaments. Last week, the Senate ordered the gym and some neighboring facilities to be confiscated and used to house refugees. Professional athletes took away their belongings, and then the location was transformed into a shelter for migrants.

The confiscation of sports halls was spontaneous and was not discussed with anybody, Gerhard Janetzky, president of the Berlin Athletics Association, said. He added that the closure of gyms and other locations is harmful to the development of sports. "This is like a ban on being an athlete. The measures do not take into account athletes' interests who are not that ready to help refugees," he was quoted as saying by Die Welt.

Comment: It seems emergency housing of war refugees - men, women, children, babies - (with winter around the corner), is giving some Germans a mental "work out." Perhaps they should exercise their hearts instead.

Another holistic doctor found dead, 11th death in the past 90 days

mitchell gaynor, dead holistic doctors
Another alternative health care practitioner, famed NYC holistic Oncologist Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, was found dead in the woods near his upstate New York home. Gaynor's death brings the total to 11 alternative health care providers that have been found dead in less than 90 days, according to Erin Elizabeth of Health Nut News.

Dr. Gaynor reportedly died a few days ago, after walking away from a car accident. His body was discovered over the weekend in the woods behind his upstate country home, according to Health Nut News.

Comment: Considering the vehemence and aggressiveness with which the medical-pharmaceutical-regulatory cartel are enacting a world-wide push for vaccination; the similar pattern of deaths of microbiologists and other scientists in recent years; and the plethora of facts around the lengths that the vaccine and medical industry will go to in order to cover up their agenda, there is a strong sense of malevolence surrounding the recent deaths of these physicians.

Gallup poll: 75% of Americans see widespread corruption in government


Gallup
Sat, 19 Sep 2015 19:09 UTC
Three in four Americans (75%) last year perceived corruption as widespread in the country's government. This figure is up from two in three in 2007 (67%) and 2009 (66%).
Image
While the numbers have fluctuated slightly since 2007, the trend has been largely stable since 2010. However, the percentage of U.S. adults who see corruption as pervasive has never been less than a majority in the past decade, which has had no shortage of controversies from the U.S. Justice Department's firings of U.S. attorneys to the IRS scandal.
Image
These figures are higher than some might expect, and while the lack of improvement is somewhat disconcerting, the positive takeaway is that Americans still feel fairly free to criticize their government. This is not the case in some parts of the world. Questions about corruption are so sensitive in some countries that even if Gallup is allowed to ask them, the results may reflect residents' reluctance to disparage their government. This is particularly true in countries where media freedom is restricted.

Gerald Celente launches National 'Occupy Peace' anti-war movement

Celente is an American trends forecaster, publisher of the Trends Journal, business consultant and author who makes predictions about the global financial markets.
"This peace movement is designed to create a platform to hold elected officials accountable for senselessly prompting war," Celente, head of the Trends Research Institute, said. "It will drive a nationwide initiative to put peace on the ballot."
Celente explained his Institute would work "with peace-minded historians and other experts to create a program that provides the tools to make peace a driving force in the halls of government and in the living rooms of Americans."

He stated that Occupy Peace would promote five basic principles, including: no foreign entanglements; waging war only when imminent threats exist; and having zero tolerance for illegal wars.

The remaining two principles focus on rebuilding the United States and not on nation building in other countries, and letting the American people vote on whether to fund wars.
"Our future is being robbed from us by murderous thieves. Their dream of a never-ending War on Terror has created a living nightmare," Celente asserted. "These psychopaths hijacked our nation's wealth as our economy declines."

Hysteria: Cop harassed man for eating a hamburger while parked at apartment complex

police state austin tx
Luis Sadly was doing nothing wrong, had committed no crime, and was only trying to enjoy a hamburger while he waited for his friend. However, his innocence was no protection against having his rights violated by the Austin police.

As Sadly minds his own business, he is approached by an Austin Police officer who tells him that he is being detained.

"Why am I being detained?" asks Sadly as he was clearly doing nothing illegal.

"Let's see, it's 2 o'clock in the morning. You're parked here by yourself in a high crime, high drug area," replies the officer.

Apparently sitting in your car by yourself is now reasonable articulable suspicion for a police officer to detain you.

Comment: The Police State, as summed up by Chris Hedges here:
The tyranny of law enforcement in poor communities is a window into our emerging police state. These thuggish tactics are now being used against activists and dissidents. And as the nation unravels, as social unrest spreads, the naked face of police repression will become commonplace. Totalitarian systems always seek license to engage in this kind of behavior by first targeting a demonized minority. Such systems demand that the police, to combat the "lawlessness" of the demonized minority, be, in essence, emancipated from the constraints of the law. The unrestricted and arbitrary subjugation of one despised group, stripped of equality before the law, conditions the police to employ these tactics against the wider society. "Laws that are not equal for all revert to rights and privileges, something contradictory to the very nature of nation-states," Hannah Arendt wrote in "The Origins of Totalitarianism"
"The clearer the proof of their inability to treat stateless people as legal persons and the greater the extension of arbitrary rule by police decree, the more difficult it is for states to resist the temptation to deprive all citizens of legal status and rule them with an omnipotent police."

Criminal justice fail: Record number of innocent prisoners were exonerated last year

When you really break it down, the criminal justice system is the linchpin of a functional government. The government may have many different responsibilities, but their ability to catch criminals and punish them is the most important. In fact, if some libertarians are to be believed, if you were to shrink the government down to the smallest possible size, you would be left with nothing but the military, the police, and the courts.

And some countries like Costa Rica and Dominica don't even have a military. A government with the barest institutions run by a skeleton crew, would essentially consist of nothing more than the courts, the people who were elected to legislate the court's rules, and the police officers tasked with enforcing those rules. While most people would rather give the government more responsibilities and more staff, this is the government at its lowest common denominator.

So what happens if the government sucks at that job? What if they fill their prisons to the brim with nonviolent offenders, while losing the ability to catch real violent criminals? And worst of all, what if they're jailing an alarming number of innocent people?

Comment: The criminal justice system is a travesty. It preys on the poor and disenfranchised while the rich can buy their way out of trouble. Our so-called legal system is full of cases of wrongful imprisonment.
