At least 21 people were killed, including four police officers, during a gun battle between suspected Mexican drug cartel members and security forces near the U.S-Mexico border, it was reported.

The shootout occurred on Nov. 30 in Villa Union in Coahuila state, about an hour from the Texas border.

"These groups won't be allowed to enter state territory," the government of Coahuila said in a statement, Fox News reported. The death toll was revised up from 14, according to several news reports early on Dec. 1.

Standing outside the Villa Union mayor's bullet-riddled offices, Coahuila Gov. Miguel Angel Riquelme told Reuters that the fighting went on for an hour.

"I don't think that Mexico needs intervention. I think Mexico needs collaboration and cooperation," Riquelme said.

"We're convinced that the state has the power to overcome the criminals," he said, referring to President Donald Trump's recent statement that he would designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has said he wouldn't accept any foreign intervention in Mexico to deal with the violent drug cartels.

A gruesome murder of a child rocked the Russian Urals city of Ekaterinburg. The prime suspect is the boy's father, who turned out to be a sect member indulging in violent practices in a quest for "salvation" and "demons" fighting.

The body of a 9-year-old boy was discovered in a shallow grave in one of the city's parks last week, after the authorities received a tip-off from one of the victim's distant relatives. Investigators concluded that the victim was asphyxiated, detaining two suspects shortly afterwards.

One of them is the boy's father, identified as 40-year-old Ivan Kazantsev, who recently moved to the city from Russia's neighboring country of Belarus with his family - his wife and two sons. Kazantsev's wife reportedly fled back to Belarus after the murder, and for now she's being treated as a murder witness by investigators.

Kazantsev's accomplice is a Russian citizen, 48-year-old Zemfira Gaynullina. Both suspects fled the city but they were nabbed by law enforcement in Russia's Republic of Bashkiria, adjacent to the Ekaterinburg region. The two were detained by a Russian court for two months on Monday to prevent them from escaping while the investigation is ongoing.

The murder took place in the apartment that the Kazantsev family rented. The investigators thoroughly examined the flat and have already secured vital evidence there.

As many as 107 graves out of a total of 700 have been desecrated in the small village of Westhoffen, a home for just 1,600 people, located 25 kilometers west of Strasbourg. The tombstones were covered with swastika and anti-Jewish symbols. The number '14' considered to be a white supremacist symbol was also found on one of the graves.

"It's a shock," Maurice Dahan, the president of the Jewish consistory for the Bas-Rhin region, where Strasbourg is located, told AFP. Meanwhile, the local public prosecutor's office said that the incident was part of a series of similar acts of vandalism, adding that anti-Semitic graffiti were found in another local village of Schaffhouse-sur-Zorn shortly before that.

Comment: The desecration that happened last year, as noted in the article, occurred right before the false flag attack on the Strasbourg Christmas market: Also check out SOTT radio's:

South Korean pop star and actor Cha In Ha has been found dead at the age of 27, the third young Korean star to die in the space of two months.

Cha, who was a member of the K-pop group Surprise U and also had a fledgling acting career, was found at his home. His South Korean talent agency Fantagio saying it was "filled with grief at this news that is still hard to believe".

A spokesperson said: "We earnestly ask for rumours not to be spread, and for speculative reports not to be released in order for his family - who are experiencing great sadness due to the sudden news - to be able to send him away peacefully."

Comment: Regardless of wherever it is in the world, the entertainment industry is riddled with sexual abuse, suicide, corruption, drug abuse and stalkers - to name but a few of its problems - which is probably reflective of just how unhealthy the cult of celebrity really is:

The chilling moment of an overpass collapse has been captured on dash camera by a lucky Russian driver who managed to narrowly dodge the falling concrete. While he escaped in one piece, two other people were injured.

The freak incident occurred in Orenburg, in the Russian Urals, late on Monday. The massive car overpass, measuring more than 100 meters (328 feet) in length, abruptly fell to its side, plummeting onto the road below.

The driver owes his miraculous salvation to another motorist who made an emergency stop under the overpass and, as a law-abiding citizen, placed a warning triangle on the road. The time the driver spent passing the sign meant he dodged almost certain death.

That tin foil hat gun prepper has solid math to back him up

Or, "Who needs an AR-15 anyway?"

As gun policy discussions unfold in the wake of mass shooter incidents, they routinely end in three buckets. There's the "tyranny can never happen here" bucket, which the left has mostly abdicated in the wake of Trump winning after they called (and still call) him a tyrant. There's the "you can't fight the army with small arms" bucket, which is increasingly unsound given our ongoing decade-and-a-half war with Afghani tribal goat herders. And there's the "what the hell do you need an AR-15 for anyway?" bucket, which, by its very language, eschews a fundamental lack of understanding of what those people are thinking. I am not a prepper. But I know a few. Some of the ones I do know are smart. They may not be doing as deep an analysis as I present here, on a mathematical level, but the smart ones are definitely doing it at a subconscious level. If you want to understand the perspectives of others, as everyone in my opinion should strive to do, then you would do well to read to the end of this article. To get where we're going, we will need to discuss the general framework of disaster mathematics.

Less than five years ago, animal charities heralded the end of animal sacrifice at a religious festival dubbed "the world's bloodiest".

But on Tuesday, the Gadhimai festival began with the killing of a goat, rat, chicken, pig and pigeon.

According to animal activists who travelled to a remote corner of Nepal for the festival, it was followed by the deaths of thousands of buffalo.

Some 200,000 animals were killed during the last festival, in 2014.

Why are Ukrainian neo-Nazis joining the Hong Kong protests?

Prominent Ukrainian neo-Nazi figures have been spotted in the Hong Kong protests just weeks after hosting an "academy of street protest" in Kiev.

Leaders of far-right Ukrainian groups that rose to prominence in the 2014 coup d'etat they helped orchestrate, including the Azov Battalion and Right Sektor, have recently traveled to Hong Kong to participate in the anti-Beijing protests there. It's unclear why the groups, sporting the apparel of a far-right hooligan group called "Honor" or "Gonor," have gone to Hong Kong, but the fact that both the 2014 Ukrainian coup and the present protests in Hong Kong have enjoyed extensive support from the CIA-spawned National Endowment for Democracy may give a clue.
"Hong Kong welcomed us as relatives," Serhii Filimonov wrote on Facebook Saturday, sharing a video of himself and other Ukrainian far-right figures in the semi-autonomous Chinese city. Filimonov once headed the Kiev branch of the Azov Civilian Corps, a support group for the ultra-nationalist Azov Battalion that's thinly veiled as a civilian NGO.
