The Syrian Army troops found a mass grave while carrying out mop-up operation in the town of Douma in Eastern Ghouta on Wednesday that contains the bodies of tens of people believed to have been executed by the terrorists of Jeish al-Islam.

The army discovered the mass grave of Jeish al-Islam's victims South of al-Jala Garden in Douma, where 30 bodies had been buried.

In the meantime, the army men found a large workshop of Jeish al-Islam in Douma that was used for making mortar shells.

Syria's state-run news network reported on Tuesday that the army men found a series of documents in the house of Jeish al-Islam's commander in Eastern Ghouta that proved the terrorist group was working on making chemical weapons.

Members of the Syrian Civil Defence, known as the White Helmets, take a selfie with their certificates after taking part in a training session in the rebel-held eastern Ghouta area, east of the capital Damascus, on November 22, 2016

Earlier the White Helmets, a Western-backed NGO known for its ties with terrorist groups, released a video showing alleged victims of the false-flag chemical attack in Douma. The US and its allies used the video as a pre-text to conduct a missile strike on Syria.

The Russia 24 TV channel released an exclusive interview on April 18 with a boy, who participated in filming a fake video, as evidence of the false-flag chemical attack in Douma by the White Helmets. In the interview, Hassan Diab says that he and his mother heard loud voices on the street, urging everyone to rush to the hospitals. When Hassan entered the hospital, unknown people grabbed him, poured water on him and then put him with other patients.

'Huge mistake': Hundreds protest outside Downing Street over British attack on Syria

Tue, 17 Apr 2018 20:30 UTC

Anti-war campaigners gathered outside Downing Street to condemn Prime Minister Theresa May's "huge mistake" in authorizing airstrikes against Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad without parliamentary consent.

Several hundred protesters holding 'Don't bomb Syria' banners and chanting "Theresa May hear us say, airstrikes no way", came out in protest at Saturday's intervention, which Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn branded "legally questionable."

Emma Dent Coad, Labour MP for Kensington, was among the protesters slamming Britain's airstrikes as she told RT: "I think she made a huge mistake, we should have discussed this in Parliament but more than anything we should have waited for the results from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the UN security council's agreement if it was forthcoming."

Comment: In a variety of polls, less than a quarter of British citizens thought an attack on Syria was appropriate action; no UN approval, no verdict from the OPCW, no debate in Parliament, and no support from the people - this is democracy in 2018:

Join Bolivian actress Carla Ortiz as she takes a tour of the headquarters of the propaganda group White Helmets, the group that has been behind the staging of chemical attacks in Syria. Despite claiming to be a humanitarian group, as you can see in this walk through, they clearly have close ties with terrorist groups such as ISIS, Al Nusra and other so-called 'rebel' groups and were essentially supporting them in Syria. Although most of the evidence was burned, on site are items such as gas masks, ambulances and medical supplies furnished by NATO member countries.

The details of the most recent attack in Syria came from White helmets videos and reports, all of which were unverified by any official body and which the mainstream news and leaders of France, UK, US nevertheless used as the basis for their missile attack on Syria on April 13, 2018.

Saudi Arabia wants to construct a moat around Qatar

Saudi Arabia wants to cut off Qatar - literally.

The Middle Eastern kingdom is considering building a 60-kilometer-long moat around Qatar, which would virtually isolate the country.

Saudi state-linked news outlets reported this week that digging the so-called Salwa Marine Canal project would cost $750 million and aims to generate economic activity and tourism in the area. Other reports, from Saudi's Al-Riyadh newspaper, suggest the kingdom would construct a military base on one part of the border, while the other portion would be used as a dumping ground for nuclear waste. The project is still awaiting official approval, according to the reports.

The construction plans come nine months after Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, and the UAE imposed a blockade on Qatar - cutting off trade and transport routes - in response to Qatar's ties with Iran and alleged terrorism financing. Food imports were blocked, air travel barred, and Qatari diplomats were expelled from the quartet of countries.

U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis and the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, met in Washington this week to discuss de-escalating the tensions in the region and fighting ISIS.

Comment: Well this will be truly 'ground breaking' news should the Saudis follow through with their plans. The proposed nuclear waste dumping ground is a perfect place for this idea.

Supreme Court strikes down Trump felon deportation law

RT
Tue, 17 Apr 2018 19:36 UTC

The US Supreme Court has struck out part of a federal law that makes it easier to deport immigrants convicted of crimes. Justice Neil Gorsuch, appointed by Trump in 2017, cast the deciding vote.

In a 5-4 decision on Tuesday, the court found that the law, which mandated deportations for immigrants convicted of a "violent felony," was vague and unenforceable and therefore unconstitutional.

The decision was made in the case of James Dimaya, a Filipino immigrant living in the US since 1992. Dimaya was found guilty of two charges of burglary in California in 2007 and 2009, and the US government pressed for his removal from the country, arguing that his crimes were sufficiently violent to trigger deportation.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco had previously struck down the deportation provision, when it heard the case in 2015.

Police officers monitor activity outside as protestors demonstrate inside a Center City Starbucks, where two black men were arrested, in Philadelphia, US

The world's biggest coffee company Starbucks has announced that it will close all of its company-owned cafes in the United States for one afternoon on May 29 to educate employees about racial bias.

The announcement comes as the company tries to cool tensions following an incident in its Philadelphia store, in which two black men were arrested.

Starbucks said the training for its 175,000 employees will be developed with guidance from experts including former attorney general Eric Holder. It will also provide training materials for non-company workers at roughly 6,000 licensed Starbucks cafes that will remain open in locations such as grocery stores and airports.

Comment: This Twitter user summed up the situation rather well:

Most stores have anti-loitering policies. Was this this really a case a racism, or is this another instance where the left's cynical view of the world has displaced facts in favor of 'social justice'?

A pair of legal battles has entangled the United States Navy with allegations of intellectual property theft.

The US Navy is facing significant legal scrutiny after it allegedly installed software on hundreds of thousands of computers through its vendor for the software, Germany-based Bitmanagement, says the service was only allowed to download 100 copies according to their agreement.

Bitmanagement stands to lose hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the July 2016 lawsuit. The company has now requested that federal court in the United States provide a summary judgement on the matter in the protracted legal dispute, Torrent Freak reported March 16.

The return of Roseanne and how working class women would like snooty feminists to butt out of their lives

Roseanne Barr

Roseanne Barr is back. After 20 years, she's back on the screen with her loud mouth, her blue-collar humour, the same couch, same sister, husband and kids.

They're older, and Donald Trump is in the White House, but not much else has changed.

And Roseanne's television resurrection couldn't have come at a better time. Plenty are keen to hear more from the woman who mercilessly mocked the snooty sisterhood in her first iteration as "America's bourgeois nightmare".

Speaking to John Lahr for his profile of her in The New Yorker in July 1995, Barr aimed both barrels at Hollywood women such as Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon and Jodie Foster, saying they were "talented but f..kin' deluded".
