The live broadcast of a 12-year-old girl committing suicide has sparked outrage online, after authorities said they lack the power to remove the video from the internet.

Katelyn Nicole Davis hung herself in the front yard of her Cedartown, Georgia, house on December 30, streaming her death for the world to see. The video reportedly runs for just over 40 minutes and apparently ends only after the parents discover the body of the girl.

The suicide occurred after Davis announced that she had been physically and sexually abused by a family member.

Woman jailed for four months for building a home addition in her own backyard

Nothing dismantles the notion of Land of the Free quite like the government kidnapping and caging you for building an addition to your home on your own property. Amy McKinnon is learning the hard way after she was thrown in jail this month for building an addition for her sick mother without going through the proper extortion channels of the state.

Sadly, her neighbors and the media are actually praising this nonsense as if McKinnon is some kind of criminal.

"Nobody in their right mind would buy something next to a monstrosity like this," neighbor Don Gilmore told FOX 8 News. "Obviously, it's an eyesore and it sticks out because it doesn't belong here."

Don is referring to the addition in McKinnon's backyard that is on her own property and behind a fence.

McKinnon was arrested because her building size exceeded that of the permit she was forced to acquire through the city.

Missing 6yo girl & her father sail into Australia after month at sea

A man and his six-year-old daughter have sailed into a coastal town in New South Wales Australia - a month after an international search began to locate the pair, who were reported missing in New Zealand.

Alan Langdon, currently involved in a custody dispute with the mother of his daughter, Que, said he didn't expect the "mass hysteria" over their disappearance. He set sail with the child on his 6.4-meter (21ft) catamaran from Kawhia Harbour on New Zealand's North Island on December 17.

Que's mother reportedly hired a child-recovery service in an attempt to locate the pair. This was said to be the second time she hired the professionals to locate the duo.

Ft. Lauderdale airport shooter converted to Islam, identified as Aashiq Hammad years before joining army

Aashiq Hammad

The Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter is a Muslim convert who years before joining the U.S. Army took on an Islamic name (Aashiq Hammad), downloaded terrorist propaganda and recorded Islamic religious music online, according to public records dug up by the investigative news site of an award-winning, California journalist. This is pertinent information that the Obama administration apparently wants to keep quiet, bringing up memories of the Benghazi cover up, in which the president and his cohorts knowingly lied to conceal that Islamic terrorists attacked the U.S. Special Mission in Libya.

Information is slowly trickling out that links the Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter to radical Islam while the official story from authorities is that the gunman is a mentally ill, Hispanic Army veteran named Esteban Santiago that became unhinged after a tour in Iraq. Only one mainstream media outlet mentions the possibility of Santiago's "jihadist identity," burying it in a piece about New York possibly being his initial target. A paragraph deep in the story mentions that investigators recovered Santiago's computer from a pawn shop and the FBI is examining it to determine whether he created a "jihadist identity for himself using the name Aashiq Hammad..." The rest of the traditional mainstream media coverage promotes the government rhetoric that omits any ties to terrorism even though early on a photo surfaced of Santiago making an ISIS salute while wearing a keffiyeh, a Palestinian Arab scarf.

Dissenting Swedish journalist gets lambasted for 'spreading Russian propaganda' that has nothing to do with Russia

Sometimes, things appear different from a distance. A Czech-Swedish journalist has recently raised hell in Sweden by portraying the Nordic country in a considerably unfavorable light. The Swedish media were quick to stigmatize the dissident journalist as a "spreader of Russian propaganda."

Earlier this week, Prague-born journalist Katerina Janouch appeared in a half-hour-long interview with digital Czech TV channel DVTV, in which she described Sweden, which proudly touts itself as a champion of human rights and a 'humanitarian superpower', as a country that is getting crushed by mass migration and its faulty integration policy.

Police in Aurora are investigating a sexual assault that may have been a racially-motivated crime. Investigators say a woman was attacked Friday morning at the Mission Viejo Plaza Shopping Center near Hampden Avenue and Chambers Road."Yeah it's really scary," Aurora resident Claire Miller said.

Miller is frightened and angry after the violent attack on a 23-year-old woman."You feel less safe. You feel worried for your family. I have daughters that are 18 and 21, so same for them. It makes us all feel vulnerable," Miller told CBS4's Tom Mustin.

Porn censorship & age checks are a breach of human rights, says UN official

Online checks controlling whether children are accessing pornographic sites have been defined as a breach of human rights by a United Nations (UN) official.

The British government announced last year that any porn site failing to implement age verification checks before people can view explicit content will be immediately blocked.

But David Kaye, the UN's special rapporteur on the promotion and protection on the rights to freedom of opinion and expression, has now urged politicians to reconsider, as the proposal could be in breach of "international law."

A series of bans on pornographic content available to the public have been implemented by the Tory government since taking office.

Depictions of sexual acts such as spanking, face-sitting and female ejaculation are now banned in British porn, and internet providers could be hit with fines if they fail to block websites identified by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) as contravening the law.

Age verification checks will be made compulsory by amendments to the new Digital Economy Bill, which is currently being examined by the House of Lords.

Heartless: Oregon woman freezes to death after eviction from senior housing for $388 in late rent

Karen Batts, 52, died from hypothermia Saturday in the Smart Park parking garage in Portland, Oregon, homeless over $338 in delinquent rent. Batts is the second person to freeze to death, alone, on Portland's streets in 2017.

Police were called to 730 SW 10th Avenue on Saturday afternoon because of reports that a woman was in the parking garage removing her clothes.

While it may seem counter-intuitive, hypothermia victims will often frantically remove clothing as the condition worsens because nerve damage can cause them to feel very hot, like they are on fire.

Batts had been living at a building for seniors and people with disabilities managed by Cascade Management, Inc. and Northwest Housing Alternatives, LLC, designed to be affordable for persons of limited means, until October, when she was evicted.

No charges for California cop who fatally shot man holding e-cigarette device mistaken it for a weapon

Protesters hold candles at a vigil during a protest over the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man on Tuesday by officers in El Cajon, California, U.S. September 28, 2016.

The San Diego County police officer who fatally shot a distressed black man who was "acting erratically" and holding a vape pen that police mistook for weapon will not be charged with a crime, the county district attorney has announced.

Law enforcement officers are required to make "split-second decisions," San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said Tuesday in announcing that Richard Gonsalves, a police officer in El Cajon, California, acted justifiably when he shot and killed Alfred Olango on September 27, 2016. Gonsalves will not face criminal charges, Dumanis said.

"The law recognizes police officers are often forced to make split-second decisions in circumstances that are tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving," Dumanis said at a press conference, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. "As prosecutors we have an ethical duty to follow the law and only charge individuals when we have proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The only reasonable conclusion was the officer's actions were justified."

The fatal shooting of Ugandan refugee Olango, 38, was captured on video by an onlooker and a business surveillance camera. The footage was released to the public days later, triggering protests in the San Diego suburb. A demonstration over the district attorney's announcement is planned for Monday, January 16.

Paypal founder Peter Thiel: The age of Apple is over

RT
Thu, 12 Jan 2017 16:01 UTC

Arguably the most desired smartphone in the world, Apple's iPhone, is losing popularity, says PayPal co-founder and first Facebook investor Peter Thiel.

When asked if "the age of Apple is over" by The New York Times, Thiel answered: "Confirm. We know what a smartphone looks like and does. It's not the fault of Tim Cook, but it's not an area where there will be any more innovation."

In October, Apple reported its first annual revenue decline in 15 years, as for the first time iPhone sales slumped. In the three months ending September 24, the Cupertino, California company said its revenue dropped about nine percent year on year.

Apple's annual sales fell to $216 billion in the 2016 fiscal year ending September 30, down from a record $234 billion the year before.

The company's sales in China, once a catalyst for growth, declined 30 percent year on year as the tech company faces competition from local producers like Xiaomi and Huawei that make more affordable smartphones with a similar set of functions.

Some analysts say the the world may have reached "peak Apple," as nearly everyone who wants and can afford an iPhone and other products already has one.

The iPhone was first launched in June 2007, transforming the telecoms industry. However, Apple is facing increased competition from smartphones running on Google's Android, and other gadgets.

Thiel co-founded PayPal in 1999 and became Facebook's first outside investor after acquiring a 10.2 percent stake for $500,000 in 2004.
