DNC Walkout - Over half the DNC audience marched out on Hillary

The People have spoken: they won't choose Hillary Clinton.

What is the Democratic Party going to do without half of their voters? The DNCWalkout is going to destroy them.

In what looks to actually be the death of the Democratic Party thousands of DNC attendees marched out of the Convention during Hillary's speech.

This is an exhilarating time to be alive. 2016 is the year that America took its power back from the Establishment.

Super Delegates have stolen the nomination from Bernie Sanders and tried to do the same to Donald Trump. The only difference was that Trump won by such a large margin that the GOP could not get away with stealing the Republican nomination from him.

Both parties' delegates were quoted saying the will of the people don't matter. The only thing that the establishment cares about is what the establishment wants. Tonight they learned that the people will not go along with that.

It will be hard to win a presidential election with only 25% of the nation's voters backing Hillary.

Comment: We won't be holding our breath that Killary won't still be "selected".

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) is monitoring over 220 potential domestic suicide bombers. It also follows people involved in recruiting candidates for "living bombs" and preparing terrorist acts involving proxy bombers, the agency's head reveals.

"There are over 220 potential "pseudo-Shakhids [suicide bombers]" under operative supervision in Russia. FSB officers are systematically exposing persons involved in the preparation of kamikaze bombers and staging terrorist acts involving them," FSB chief Aleksandr Bortnikov said at a meeting of the heads of the security and law enforcement agencies' secret services, which began in St. Petersburg on Wednesday.

FSB has also issued international arrest warrants seeking to detain some 260 terrorist suspects with Russian passports currently residing abroad and actively involved in terrorist activities.

No means no!: Alberta judge delivers blistering rebuke of lower court sex-assault decision

Judges

Justice Juliana Topolniski has overturned a ruling in a sexual-assault case made earlier this year by provincial court judge Michael Savaryn.
'The requirement that a complainant raise the hue and cry has long since passed into the mists of time'

An Alberta Court of Queen's Bench justice has overturned a teen's acquittal on a sexual assault charge and delivered a blistering rebuke of a lower court judge she said did not understand the law.

In a seven-page ruling, Justice Juliana Topolniski used a series of scorching short sentences to explain that the issue of consent is "not a difficult concept."

"It is long beyond debate that, in Canada, no means no," Topolniski wrote. "Consent means yes.

"The word 'no' does not mean 'yes.' The word 'no' coupled with fending off an attacker with a water bottle does not mean 'yes.'

"There is nothing ambiguous about it."

Acquittal in sex-assault case

In April, provincial court judge Michael Savaryn found a 15-year-old boy not guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year old girl. The names of both the accused and the complainant are covered by a publication ban.

Topolniski overturned the acquittal and convicted the teen. She not only ordered the boy back to provincial court for sentencing, she asked the court to ensure that Savaryn is not the judge who will ultimately sentence the teen.

Comment: Now imagine that there are many thousands of pathological judges and individuals in positions of power world-wide - like court judge Michael Savaryn is - and you have some better idea of how far gone Western society and civilization is.

Pfizer subsidiary suspected of providing lethal injection drug to Arkansas DoC denies charge

Arkansas' secrecy laws didn't keep photos of a drug used in the state's lethal injection protocol from offering some inadvertent transparency. A Pfizer subsidiary is now thought to be the provider, despite the company's prior statements to the contrary. The revelation came on Monday following an investigation by the Associated Press into redacted photos it had obtained from the Arkansas Department of Correction.

The label for vecuronium bromide, a paralytic drug used in lethal injection protocols, matched those sent to the National Institutes of Health by Hospira, a company that the global pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer bought last year. While AP obtained the purchase orders for the drug, the name of the third party that sold the drug to the Corrections Department was redacted in order to comply with the state's secrecy laws.


Comment: Photos of their labels were supposedly compared with labels archived at the NIH and U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It appeared that an India-based company, Sun Pharma, made the expired supply of vecuronium bromide. A subsidiary of the England-based company Hikma appeared to make the midazolam, and Hospira appeared to make the potassium chloride, not the vecuronium bromide. BothHospira and Sun Pharma issued statements saying they opposed the use of their drugs in executions, and their internal policies and controls were put in place to prevent the use of the drugs in lethal injections.


In a split decision, the Arkansas State Supreme Court ruled last month that the state could execute eight death row inmates with its three-drug protocol, while upholding a state law that keeps information about lethal injection drugs confidential. The eight inmates are appealing that decision.

Comment: Just because the drug isn't sold by the drug maker directly to a department of correction for use in an execution, it doesn't eliminate a third party providing the substance.

A chickenpox outbreak amounted to cruel and unusual punishment, a lawsuit brought against the director of Rhode Island's Department of Corrections claims. Kenneth Day alleges prison officials did not implement protocol to prevent the spread of diseases.

A lawsuit brought by Kenneth D. Day accuses Corrections Director A.T. Wall and two corrections officers of cruel and unusual punishment for allowing an inmate diagnosed with shingles to remain in the prison's general population. The inmate, known only as "Ernest," was moved into another maximum-security cellblock towards the end of May.

Controlling information: Facebook admits to censoring DNC email links

Facebook has confirmed without reason that it temporarily blocked links to the WikiLeaks files of leaked internal Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails. The social media giant came under fire from followers, with WikiLeaks accusing it of "censorship."

A number of people encountered problems when they tried to post links to the WikiLeaks files - which exposed the DNC's bias against Bernie Sanders - on Facebook on Saturday. Error messages said the links had been "detected to be unsafe" by Facebook's security system, and asked users "to remove links to continue."

After Twitter user @SwiftOnSecurity tweeted that "Facebook has an automated system for detecting spam/malicious links, that sometimes have false positives," Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos replied by saying "it's been fixed."

In a statement to Gizmodo, the company's representative said: "Like other services, our anti-spam systems briefly flagged links to these documents as unsafe," adding that Facebook "quickly corrected this error on Saturday evening."


Comment: Translation: Once it became apparent that the blowback for blocking the sharing of the data was going to be more of a PR nightmare than they anticipated, Facebook changed course and then pretended it was all due to "computer error." Face it, Facebook is just as much in bed with the government in spreading propaganda as any mainstream news media. The question is, how much other news gets censored by Facebook that isn't big enough to cause a disturbance and force them to change course?

Japanese mass murder suspect revealed motives in warning letter to Japanese parliament

Knife attacker Satoshi Uematsu, who is suspected of killing at least 19 disabled people at a special facility near Tokyo, threatened to wipe out a total of 470 in letters he sent to a Japanese member of parliament some months prior to the mass killing.

Satoshi Uematsu promised to "obliterate 470 disabled people" in the letters he wrote in February and then attempted to pass to the speaker of Japan's lower house of parliament.

"I am fully aware that my remark is eccentric. However, thinking about the tired faces of guardians, the dull eyes of caregivers working at the facility, I am not able to contain myself, and so I decided to take action today for the sake of Japan and the world," he wrote, as quoted by AP.

"My reasoning is that I may be able to revitalize the world economy and I thought it may be possible to prevent World War III."

"The act will be carried out speedily and definitely without harming the staff. After wiping out the 260 people in two facilities, I will turn myself in," the letter goes on.

"My goal is a world in which the severely disabled can be euthanized, with their guardians' consent, if they are unable to live at home and be active in society," Uematsu wrote, apparently trying to explain his goal.

Comment: Very strange and warped thinking for this knife attacker to resort to such measures to get attention. What's worse is he gave ample warning.

Yerevan Armenia: Thousands march in support of gunmen, Sasna Tsrer - 'the Daredevils of Sassoun'

Thousands of demonstrators were marching in Yerevan late on July 25 in support of a group of gunmen who have occupied an Armenian police station for more than a week. The demonstrators chanted "unity" and called for bystanders to join them -- swelling their numbers as the march progressed along the streets of the Armenian capital and the demonstrators arrived at Yerevan's central Republic Square. It was the largest gathering of support for the gunmen since the crisis began on July 17.

The march began on July 25 after military helicopters were seen flying over the occupied police building. The presence of the helicopters prompted speculation that a military raid against the gunmen was imminent. The gunmen at the police station set a police van on fire near the building on July 25. Meanwhile, Armenian law enforcement agencies called on the gunmen not to take any steps that would "risk the lives of citizens or that stir up tensions."

One police officer was killed on July 17 when the gunmen, linked to the radical Founding Parliament opposition movement, stormed into the Erebuni police station. The gunmen took seven police officers as hostages but released the last of them on July 23 after negotiations with a senior officer in Armenia's armed forces.

The gunmen are members of a little-known group called Sasna Tsrer, dubbed by some the Daredevils of Sassoun, which is loyal to Founding Parliament's leader Zhirayr Sefilian.
