The French city of Lyon had to cancel its "Croix-Rousse" Christmas market after it became clear it needed a €20,000 security budget.

According to the project manager of the city's merchants association, it was as good as impossible to pay the bill for securing the market day and night.

Russiagaters: The very worst kind of conspiracy theorist

"Note that this is yet another secret world-shaping deal successfully kept out of the media for over four decades. Yes Virginia, conspiracies do happen. Secrets can be (and are routinely) kept by hundreds, even thousands, of people over long stretches of time."
~ Chris Martenson
I couldn't believe it the first time a Russiagater unironically called me a conspiracy theorist for doubting the establishment Russia narrative. Now it's a routine occurrence. That's how thoroughly lacking in self-awareness these people are.

Turns out most Russiagaters are completely unaware that they are in fact conspiracy theorists by definition. Nobody who publicly doubts the official 9/11 story can escape that label for even a moment, but when a narrative with similar types of circumstantial evidence is backed by the full might of the mainstream media it's possible to construct an echo chamber for yourself in such a way that it never even occurs to you that you are engaging in a conspiracy theory. You can insulate yourself so much that you'll even find yourself sincerely accusing people who don't subscribe to your pet conspiracy theory of being conspiracy theorists.

A medic who convinced 23 women that he was performing medical trials for cancer treatments in order to sedate and then rape them has been jailed for 10 years.

The Nuremberg Regional Court convicted the 41-year old man Monday of a litany of sexual offenses, including rape, of 23 women between 2009 and 2016. Seven of the cases involved aggravated rape while a further ten were considered sexual abuse of a person incapable of resisting, according to a spokesman for the judiciary as cited by The Local.

Sheriff blasts unarmed man in the face with a shotgun - and all 7 dashcams didn't work

A sheriff is now being investigated for shooting a young man in the face with a shotgun and all 7 dashcams mysteriously malfunctioned.

Police work has long been a cat and mouse game, but for one Georgia man, his decision to run from the police on his motorcycle quickly turned into a fight for his life. It all began when police attempted to pull 23-year-old Mathew Jared Schantz over for driving without a license plate.

The chase ended at a roadblock on Hwy. 341 when then Appling Co. Sheriff "Mr. Benny" Deloach (below) shot Schantz in the face with 12-gauge buckshot.

In an exclusive interview, Schantz told The Free Thought Project that while he now regrets running from police, when the encounter occurred on June 17, 2016, he had just bought the bike and "didn't want to be hassled" because he did not have a license plate.

Roman Polanski is accused of sex crimes dating back to the 70s
DISGRACED movie director Polanski is being investigated by cops over new sex abuse allegations.

Los Angeles Police Department told Sun Online they had launched an "open investigation" into the convicted child rapist - who has been accused of sexually abusing a string of women and children.

It comes after Sun Online revealed seven new accusers had spoken out about how Polanski, 84, had allegedly raped or sexually assaulted them - many of them as children.

They included California artist Marianne Barnard who bravely spoke to Sun Online and accused Polanski of molesting her on a beach in Malibu when she was just ten years old.

She said she had reported the alleged crime to LAPD's sex crime unit in October.

Almost four-fifths of Russians have told researchers they support a proposal to deprive citizens of parental rights if they allow their children to join destructive sects or extremist groups.

According to a poll conducted by state-run VTSIOM in late November, 79 percent of Russians currently support the idea, while 16 percent of respondents said they oppose it. Most of the opponents said that in their view, however bad parents are it is still better for children to stay with the family than be sent to an orphanage.

When researchers asked for general opinions on the increase of the state's role in family affairs, 45 percent said they considered it better for children's interests. Some 43 percent said any further increase in state interference in family affairs would be excessive. Overall, 45 percent agreed that greater effort on the part of the state would mean greater protection of children's rights.

Dems are opposed to deporting illegal aliens, but the Kate Steinles deserve better

© Laura A. Oda/TNS/NewscomThe family of Kate Steinle, including her mother Liz Sullivan, left, brother Brad Steinle and sister in law Amy Steinle enter the courthouse at the San Francisco Hall of Justice in San Francisco, California, on Monday, Oct. 23, 2017.
San Francisco, being the proud "sanctuary city" for illegal aliens that it is, will no doubt roll out the welcome wagon for Jose Ines Garcia Zarate the next time he sneaks back into the country.

And it's a near-certainty that he will, after he's deported to Mexico for a sixth time following his acquittal Thursday by a San Francisco jury in the fatal shooting of Kate Steinle on July 1, 2015, on a pier on the city's waterfront.

The needless death of the 32-year-old Steinle has rightly become, in criminal justice parlance, "Exhibit A" for the need for President Donald Trump's proposed measures to strengthen border security.

Thursday's grotesque miscarriage of justice also should underscore the need for Senate Democrats to drop their callous, politically motivated opposition to Kate's Law.

Kate's Law, H.R. 3004, approved 257-157 by the House on June 29, stipulates that an illegal alien who has been deported "three or more times and thereafter enters, attempts to enter, or crosses or attempts to cross the border to, or is at any time found in, the United States shall be fined, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both."

In short, had something like Kate's Law been the law of the land prior to July 2015, Steinle would be alive today, because Garcia Zarate would have been, not on the streets of San Francisco, but behind bars, where he belongs.

Fake news causes markets to crash, blamed on air strikes in Syria

fake news crash
Despite the fact that trust in the mainstream media is at an all-time low, reports from the media can still have major international repercussions-even when they are false. In fact, in just 24 hours, false media stories caused financial stocks to crash and led to an airstrike that could have provoked a war.

Former U.S. National Security Adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to FBI agents about his conversations with the Russian ambassador. ABC's original report claimed that Donald Trump ordered Flynn to contact Russian officials during the 2016 election when he was still a candidate.

However, Trump actually ordered Flynn to contact the officials after he became president-elect. The original claim was made by ABC News Investigative Reporter Brian Ross, who said he was quoting an anonymous source. This method was used by the mainstream media throughout the election to push exaggerated claims with no evidence.

While ABC brushed off the mistake as nothing more than issuing a simple correction to one of their reports, the allegations from their "anonymous source" had serious repercussions. Ross made the claim during a "Special Report" from ABC News at 11 a.m. on Friday. Within minutes of the report, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 350 points.

Liberals going crazy: Rosie O'Donnell tweets disturbing threats to Trump and his children

Yesterday, Rosie O'Donnell released a deranged tweet that called for President Trump to be jailed for life.

But it didn't stop there.

Shortly after that one, she released another tweet with the same image that looks like it was scribbled by a mentally deranged serial killer, and issued a threat to Trump and his children, saying that their days are numbered.


Comment: We've seen this level of crazy among other liberal celebrities in the last year, and every time we're witness to one of these hysterical outbursts we are reminded of just how misinformed, gaslighted, ponerized and cognitively dissonant a whole segment of the US population is.

Religious freedom? Red Cross tells branches to remove crucifixes, be more secular

Volunteers have criticised the Red Cross charity after receiving a communication telling them to remove crucifixes from the walls of their branches as the organisation looks to become more secular.

The Belgian branches of the international aid organisation received an email from the Provincial Committee of the Red Cross in Liège to remove all crucifixes. André Rouffart, president of the Red Cross in Verviers, said: "We were asked to respect the principles of the Red Cross", and not to distinguish between race or religious belief 7sur7 reports.

Mr. Rouffart said there had been pushback from volunteers and other members on the issue but downplayed the issue, saying: "I think it's a storm in a teacup."

Several volunteers spoke to Belgian broadcaster RTL and expressed hostility to the move, with one saying: "Let things remain as they are. We used to say 'Christmas holidays', now it's 'winter holidays'. The Christmas market in Brussels has become the 'Winter Pleasures'."

"For a certain part of the population - because of the Muslims - the crosses were removed in the Red Cross houses and, more particularly, in that of Verviers," the volunteer added.


Comment: Funny how it's always the symbols of the destination country's culture and religion that are given the axe. If all's "fair and equal", shouldn't Muslims also be "encouraged" to remove visible signs of their own faith in order not to offend the religion of their hosts? Either multiculturalism isn't possible in practice, or in actuality it simply means destroying one culture out of deference to another. Or is there a third option?
