More explicit pictures of female Armed Forces personnel have been shared online without their permission. The scandal comes just one year after the alarming trend among all branches of the military was first discovered.

Just 55 Marines have been punished for their involvement in a 'Marines United' Facebook group, which boasted 30,000 serving and retired members of the military before being shut down. The scandal extended to all branches of the military and involved some 131,000 photos of women, some explicit and taken without their permission, spread across 168 social media sites via Google Drive.


Undeterred, the group's administrators and 400 dedicated members have since moved to smaller photo-sharing websites and forums where they can leer at their comrades. Two weeks ago photos once again emerged on a new Facebook group called "Blame Marines United (Non-Butthurt Edition)," reports Vice News.

Comment: There's a relatively simple solution to this problem, but it's very un-PC: make the military all-male again. The decision to allow women into all branches of the military has been a disaster by pretty much any measure: lowered fitness standards, lowered combat efficiency, increasing resentment, increasing fraternization, converting the military into a welfare department for single mothers, and, of course, a predictable increase in sexual misconduct. Maybe it's finally time to admit the military made a big mistake? Who are we kidding, that'll never happen. (For more on the topic see Stephen Baskerville's The New Politics of Sex).

The migrant crisis ain't over: EU bracing itself for fresh migrant surge

The European Union is bracing itself for a fresh surge of migrants in the spring and summer of 2018, as the bloc continues to struggle with the ongoing crisis.

While often described in the past tense, the migrant crisis is far from being resolved, with a meeting of EU interior ministers on Thursday anxious to prepare the continent for increased pressure on its land and maritime borders as the weather improves, the Financial Times reports.

Despite numbers having declined from their 2015 high due to a multi-billion euro deal with the Turks to stop them from letting migrants cross freely into Greece and the Italians taking action against NGO "rescue" ships acting as a "taxi service" for Libya-based people-smugglers, the numbers crossing the Mediterranean still stood at 172,301 in 2017.

The EU has done a poor job of mitigating the associated security risks, with its own "rescue" efforts failing to coordinate effectively with police authorities and pass on information about new arrivals, due to "ethical" considerations and data protection rules.

Comment: In other words, the EU is screwed. And Europeans have to look no further than the EU bureaucracy and their own spineless leaders for creating this insoluble problem in the first place. Thanks to their reckless decision making and passivity, they have sown the seeds of their own nations' destruction. No, the migrants won't "take over" and institute sharia law or anything like that, but society will continue to polarize and fracture along ideological lines until there is nothing but chaos - a total lack of national unity. Social problems will escalate, crime will skyrocket. And "there's nothing we can do about it". There's always the chance it isn't too late, but that would require some real leaders. Good luck with that.

'#Don'tSettleForThis' initiative claims Israeli policy 'runs counter to basic Jewish values of justice'

Jewish students around the UK have launched a campaign against the Israeli government's policy of demolishing Palestinian homes in the West Bank.

The students are drawn from 15 universities across the country, including Oxford, the LSE and Edinburgh, and have asked to meet Middle East Minister Alistair Burt to make their thoughts heard.

The group, many of whom have attended visits to Israel and the West Bank with British Jewish group Yachad, also told uncritical Jewish community leaders that the Israeli demolitions "runs counter to basic Jewish values of justice".

Their campaign, dubbed #Don'tSettleForThis, sees the next generation of Jews voice their opposition to Israeli policy from campuses including Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Durham, Edinburgh, Goldsmiths, Leeds, LSE, Nottingham, Southampton, Sussex, UCL, Warwick and York.

Comment: The students mentioned in the article are correct. Israel is not only demolishing Palestinian houses, but with malevolent acts as these, and others, it is demolishing its own future.

Argentina's animal farm of horrors: Shocking animal mutations discovered

A PIGLET born with a human-like face is the latest shocking mutation to be discovered in Argentina where such deformities are believed to be caused by pesticides and GM crops.

The discovery was made when the piglet was spotted next to its mother after she gave birth to eight young in the rural area of Santo Domingo in Santiago del Estero Province in northern Argentina.

However, the human-like piglet died a few hours later due to breathing difficulties.

Pig and goat breeders Walter Oscar Velez and wife Roxana Noemi Villarreal, who also produce charcoal at their farm, said that they are at a loss for an explanation.

It is the latest in a number of horrific mutations in the country which is at the centre of a row over the use of pesticides and genetically modified foods.

Other recent cases include a goat born with two heads in the same province, a calf with two heads and six legs in the north-eastern province of Entre Rios, a goat with a human baby's face in the centre of the country and a real-life spider pig born with eight legs in El Galpon in north-eastern Argentina.

Comment: Glyphosate is well known to be incredibly toxic and destructive to the environment. That's what makes it so effective as weed killer. Nothing survives. See also:

Cop arrested for viciously beating man who crossed street 'illegally'

Crossing the street in a manner deemed "illegal" by the state can and will get you beaten, shot, kidnapped, caged, and even killed. Body Camera footage was released last week illustrating this dangerous reality. The video shows one police officer restraining a man down while another officer repeatedly punches him in the head after they confronted him for the "crime" of jaywalking. Now, in an extremely rare move by the District Attorney, the cop who was recorded doing the beating has been criminally charged and arrested.

District Attorney Todd Williams announced Thursday night that former officer Chris Hickman, 31, is facing charges of felony assault by strangulation, and misdemeanor assault inflicting serious injury and communicating threats, according to the Citizen-Times.

Hickman then posted $10,000 bail and was released.

Universities today: Elitists, crybabies and useless degrees

Frank Antenori shot the head off a rattlesnake at his back door last summer - a deadeye pistol blast from 20 feet. No college professor taught him that. The U.S. Army trained him, as a marksman and a medic, on the "two-way rifle range" of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Useful skills. Smart return on taxpayers' investment. Not like the waste he sees at too many colleges and universities, where he says liberal professors teach "ridiculous" classes and indoctrinate students "who hang out and protest all day long and cry on our dime."

"Why does a kid go to a major university these days?" said Antenori, 51, a former Green Beret who served in the Arizona state legislature. "A lot of Republicans would say they go there to get brainwashed and learn how to become activists and basically go out in the world and cause trouble."

David Macilwain is an Australian journalist and peace activist whose battle against ABC's misrepresentation of the Syrian Conflict is a long and frustrating one. Macilwain recently wrote, again, to ABC to challenge their Eastern Ghouta narrative. Here is that letter that follows on from a previous correspondence between journalist Jeremy Salt and ABC. Salt received the bland response that began - "We note your concerns". Translation "ABC will not deviate from support for US Coalition regime change project in Syria":

Comment: Proving once again that MSM is part of the propaganda machine aimed at: creating news to fit a pre-determined agenda; pacifying a dumbed-down, happily ignorant public relieved of critical thinking.

'Some women have penises': New transgender support guide provided by Church of Scotland

Scotland Launches Transgender
"Some men have vaginas and some women have penises," congregations have been told in a Church of Scotland resource urging greater sensitivity towards transgender people.

The 30-page booklet, a copy of which was delivered to every Scottish church on Tuesday, asks ministers to consider using gender-neutral language for God as part of a range of measures to make their congregation more inclusive for individuals who identify as transgender.

Testimony featured in Diverse Gender Identities and Pastoral Care includes the demand for a "21st century" update to the "patriarchal" Scriptures, and complaints that "Christian culture" makes life hard for "gender nonconforming" individuals.

"I struggle with the wording of the Lord's Prayer because I see God as my parent not my father," writes Andrew, stating that: "God is genderless to me: it's not father God it is parent God."

"The Scriptures are very patriarchal; we need to update them for the 21st century," adds the churchgoer, who was born female but identifies as a man.

Comment: And this seems to be the problem with radical left ideology: it not only excludes many other possibilities for why things are the way they are - but insists on acceptance for radical change when some other solution might be much more beneficial to all, including themselves.

German political foundation 'attacked' - suspect Russian hacking group

German public prosecutors have opened an investigation into a suspected cyberattack on a Berlin-based political foundation carried out by a Russian hacking group, according to a report.

Authorities suspect the notorious Russian hacking group known as "Fancy Bear" or "APT28" was behind the December 2016 attack on the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), according to a report by German news outlet Spiegel Online. The SWP advises the German government on foreign affairs.

Some believe Fancy Bear has connections to Russia's GRU military intelligence agency and was accused of attacks on U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign. Germany's parliament came under a major cyberattack in 2015 that was widely blamed on Fancy Bear. Fears that information gleaned from the attack would be leaked to influence last year's German elections never materialized, however.

Spiegel reported that the hackers who attacked the SWP sent an e-mail under the name of a former employee with file attachments containing malware. The SWP told Spiegel they did not believe the hack had been successful.
