A CIA whistleblower and ex-Marine Corps captain are among the outspoken leaders of a campaign to stop the US bombing of Syria before a "nuclear apocalypse" erupts out of the conflict with Russia.

The National Press Club in Washington, DC on Tuesday hosted a conference of five speakers opposed, morally and legally, to US intervention in Syria, especially the use of US warplanes and drones. Their presser centered around a petition addressed to Defense Secretary James Mattis and Congress.

Matthew Hoh, a former Marine captain who later became the top civilian representative in Zabul Province, Afghanistan, before resigning in 2009 in protest of former President Barack Obama's "surge" of the war there, warned that much more is at stake in Syria than simply violations of international law.

"We are on the brink with a war with Russia," Hoh said, noting that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had at least invited Russia's military into the country.

A highly disturbing Victoria's Secret-style lingerie show featuring 5-year-olds highlights the push to normalize pedophilia in the mainstream.

The latest movement within media and Hollywood pop culture is a distinctive agenda to normalize pedophilia and the sexualization of children. The latest example of this growing trend within mainstream media is a fashion show that many feel crossed the line from - with scantily clad girls, who appear to be as young as five-years-old, walking the runway in a Victoria's Secret-style show.

The show, held at a shopping mall in China, revealed shocking images of young girls wearing nothing but lingerie, costume wings, and headpieces. This comes on the heels of Kim Kardashian sparking controversy last month after she posted images of her new children's line, which included a bikini and lace slip dress.

"I'm not dressing my 4-yr-old daughter in a leopard n lace slip dress Kim Kardashian Kids Line," one disgruntled parent replied.

What you see talking place is simply the latest manifestation of what is, without question, a creeping agenda within the mainstream of pop culture to normalize and force public acceptance of pedophilia.

Two water districts in Sacramento, California are suing the US government for nearly one and a half billion dollars for groundwater cleanup. Plaintiffs claim heavy metals used by aircraft maintenance crews at the old McClellan Air Force Base have contaminated over 300 sites.

The lawsuits named the US Air Force and 10 major firms involved in supplying chromium products and chemicals to the base, and was filed by the Sacramento Suburban Water District and the Rio Linda Elverta Community Water District, according to the Sacramento Bee.

At contention is whether the cancer-causing chemical hexavalent chromium, or chromium 6, came from the base, which was designated a federal Superfund site in 1987 for 326 contaminated sites identified for cleanup.

"[T]hey knew or should have known that this harmful compound would reach groundwater, pollute drinking supplies, render drinking water unusable and unsafe, and threaten the public health and welfare," stated the complaint, which claims an underground storage tank "likely held" the chemical.

In the legendary Gogol's novel Dead Souls, a swindler buys on paper slaves who died after the latest census (therefore officially alive) in order to use them as a collateral to take a loan he has no intention of paying back. As we'll see, Groisman's government of Ukraine wrote a new version of the novel, this time taking down a whole country in their insane plan.

It's official: Ukraine doesn't count its emigration

Ukraine held its last census in 2001. At that time its population accounted 48,457,000 people. The official figures as on Jun 1, 2017 show a demographic disaster: 42,482,000, 6 million or 13% down in 16 years.

Police paid a convicted child rapist almost £10,000 to spy on "sex parties" as part of an investigation into a grooming gang in Newcastle that saw 18 people convicted, it can be revealed.

Seventeen men and one woman have been found guilty of involvement in a sex grooming network in the northern English city that saw underage and vulnerable female victims raped and abused over many years.

In a series of trials at Newcastle Crown Court, it was heard that older men preyed on immature teenagers who were plied with cocaine, cannabis, alcohol or mephedrone, then raped or persuaded into engaging in sexual activity at the parties known as "sessions."

Over the course of four trials that have run over more than two years, 20 young women gave evidence covering a period from 2011 to 2014. The trials, the first of which finished in October 2015, could not be reported on until all were concluded for fear that they would be prejudiced.


Comment: Wow, so this has been kept under wraps for two years. To protect the public?


Comment: These convictions apparently took place two years ago.

And we're only hearing about it now?

For the first time, the US Marines are taking a serious look at training women for combat alongside their male counterparts. After accusations of gender inequality in the service, some say this is a step in the right direction.

On Tuesday, the Marines announced that they are specifically eyeing Southern California's Camp Pendleton for their female recruits to join in combat training. As of right now, only male Marines complete combat training there, while women are only placed on the East Coast.

The Corps is also looking to bring females and males together for boot camp training at Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, which must be completed before any type of combat training. Currently, female recruits only attend boot camp at Parris Island, South Carolina, while male recruits either go there or to Southern California, according to officials, the Associated Press reported.

Victims and relatives of those slain or injured in the mass 2007 killing of unarmed Iraqi civilians by Blackwater contractors in Baghdad told RT they are outraged by the recent overturning of a murder conviction by a US court for the chief perpetrator.

Last week, the US Court of Appeals in the DC circuit ordered a retrial of former Blackwater guard Nicholas Slatten, saying in its ruling that the court was acting beyond its discretion when it did not allow for a separate trial of Slatten. In 2014, Slatten and three other guards - Paul Slough, Dustin Heard and Evan Liberty - were found guilty in the 2007 massacre of civilians in Nisour Square in Baghdad.

Fourteen people died in the incident and scores were injured after the guards opened fire.

Russian oil company Rosneft has invested more money in Venezuela's state-owned firm PDVSA, pledging to continue working in the country's energy sector despite the worsening political and economic crisis.

The Venezuelan firm received $1.02 billion from Rosneft as an advance payment for future crude supplies, according to the statement released by the Russian company earlier this week.

Earlier this month, Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin said the company was going to increase cooperation with Venezuela.

"The country's reserves of hydrocarbons are the world's largest. From this perspective, any energy corporation must seek to work there," he said.

Children as young as five have been either expelled or suspended from school in Britain for sexual misconduct, an investigation has found.

Hundreds of children have been reported in the past four years after indulging in sexual acts, including watching child pornography or sharing indecent images, according to figures released under the Freedom of Information Act.

A spokesman for Britain's leading child protection charity, the NSPCC, stressed the importance of sex education in schools and said: "Preventing harmful sexual behaviour through proper, up-to-date sex and relationships education is immeasurably better than excluding children after the harm has been done.

"Social media, sexting, online porn and dating apps did not exist when sex education was introduced on the curriculum a generation ago," he added, according to the Times.

The figures, released following a request by the Press Association, revealed there were 754 reported incidents between July 2013 and April 2017. The number, however, is likely to be much higher as some councils did not hold such information or refused to disclose it.
