A substitute teacher in Pearland, Texas, called the police this week because she feared a 6-year-old Muslim boy with Down syndrome was a terrorist.

Fox 26 Houston reports that Mohammad Suleiman, the 6-year-old son of Pearland resident Maher Suleiman, got into trouble at school after his elementary school teacher called the police and told them that the boy kept repeating the words "Allah" and "boom."

Comment: It's hard to tell if the teacher has been completely taken over by the anti-Muslim hysteria or if s/he just acted maliciously. It's also hard to tell which one would be worse.

The United Nations monitor on extreme poverty and human rights has embarked on a coast-to-coast tour of the US to hold the world's richest nation - and its president - to account for the hardships endured by America's most vulnerable citizens.

The tour, which kicked off on Friday morning, will make stops in four states as well as Washington DC and the US territory of Puerto Rico. It will focus on several of the social and economic barriers that render the American dream merely a pipe dream to millions - from homelessness in California to racial discrimination in the Deep South, cumulative neglect in Puerto Rico and the decline of industrial jobs in West Virginia.

With 41 million Americans officially in poverty according to the US Census Bureau (other estimates put that figure much higher), one aim of the UN mission will be to demonstrate that no country, however wealthy, is immune from human suffering induced by growing inequality. Nor is any nation, however powerful, beyond the reach of human rights law - a message that the US government and Donald Trump might find hard to stomach given their tendency to regard internal affairs as sacrosanct.

Comment: No surprise here. The wealth of America has never translated into equality:

Another record year for the 1%: Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett own as much wealth as the bottom half of the US population

Pamela Anderson has created headlines once again, and this time she's set her sights on a top official in the White House: that of Vice President Mike Pence.

The encounter took place in Manhattan's JW Marriott Essex House, where the actress was working on a public service announcement in New York to advocate for more rigid background checks on app-based hailed drivers to help combat sexual assault.

According to Page Six, when Anderson heard of Pence's presence, she was determined to find the vice president in order to "exact a pardon for her pale paramour Julian Assange."

'P is for Palestine': Why a children's book has Zionists losing their minds

P is for Palestine book
In this moment of nuclear proliferation, police brutality, resurgent Nazism, and stunning inequality, Zionists have managed to find the real enemy: a children's book. The offending title, P is for Palestine, was recently published by Golbarg Bashi and Golrokh Nafisi after a long crowdfunding campaign. Zionists have reacted as if it's the Hamas charter.

My wife and I bought the book for our five-year-old son. It was a logical purchase. Two of his grandparents are Palestinian, after all. The kid wasn't especially excited about the book, but he likes it. I feel the same way. The text is an inventory of cultural and geographic objects in alphabetical format, framed by (often beautiful) illustrations. Filled with romanticized cultural imagery, it takes about five minutes to read.

In other words, it's a typical children's book. The only way it differs from its numerous peers in the "diversity" marketplace is that the foreign country it glamorizes is Palestine. Therefore, it is ipso facto intolerable to professional Zionist organizations.

DOJ may bring federal charges against illegal immigrant Steinle after not-guilty ruling in murder case

After a California jury found Jose Ines Garcia Zarate not guilty in the murder of Kate Steinle, the Depart of Justice is weighing federal charges against the illegal immigrant, Fox News reports.

Zarate was found not guilty of first-degree murder, second degree murder, or manslaughter; he was only convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

While Zarate did not deny killing Steinle, he said the shooting was an accident.

U.S. immigration officials announced after Thursday's verdict that they would deport the Mexican national, who had already been deported five times prior to shooting Steinle. Before the shooting, Zarate, also known as Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez, was in jail on a drug charge but was released despite a detainer on him from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. San Francisco, where the shooting took place, is a sanctuary city.

Cops severely beat, taser and mace a man after mistaking his colostomy bag for a gun

Tensions among police and citizens in Euclid, Ohio have come to a head recently after police killed an unarmed 23-year-old man over a marijuana roach and officers were seen on video pulverizing another man over a suspended license. Now, the Euclid police department is sure to become infamous after body camera footage was released as part of a lawsuit against cops who mistook a colostomy bag for a gun and severely beat an innocent man.

Lamar Wright had recently undergone a surgery last year when he was driving home and stopped to use the phone. According to a federal lawsuit filed against the Euclid Police Department on Thursday, Wright had simply pulled over to safely use his phone and was subsequently attacked, assaulted, and arrested by belligerent cops for no reason.

According to the civil complaint, Wright pulled into a driveway on East 212th Street "to safely use his cell phone" on Nov. 4, 2016. Two armed men approached his vehicle, and, realizing they were police officers, Wright placed his car in park and held his hands up.

Officer Kyle Flagg's gun "was raised and pointed toward Wright," as he stood next to the driver's door. Officer Vashon Williams stood behind Flagg, his gun raised as well, reports the Cleveland Scene.

Baltimore police are not permitting FBI to join investigation of slain whistleblower cop

Baltimore cop
The Baltimore Police Department is refusing help from the FBI in the case of an officer who was murdered one day before he was set to testify against them.

In recent weeks, The Free Thought Project has been keeping a close eye on the developing case of a whistleblower with the Baltimore Police Department named Sean Suiter who was shot with his own gun the day before he was set to testify against corrupt cops within his own department.

Unlike most other shootings where police are the victims, no one has been arrested and there is no suspect to speak of. In fact, this is the only time in the history of Baltimore that a suspect in the shooting of a police officer has gone this long uncaptured.

With each day that passes, more suspicious details are uncovered which cast doubt on the official narrative that has been given by the police department since the shooting and brings suspicion upon the department itself.

Taliban gunmen, disguised in burqas, have opened fire on the campus of the Agriculture University of Peshawar, Pakistan. At least nine people were killed and dozens injured, medics say.

Gunfire and blasts can be heard from inside the university, local Geo TV reported.

One student told Geo TV that he saw two people injured in the attack. "We took them out with us and admitted them to the hospital," Ariful Haq said.

Pakistani security forces were exchanging fire with the attackers in the building, Tahir Khan, Peshawar police chief said, as cited by Reuters. "Police and army commandos have cordoned off the campus. A blast was also just heard from the campus," he said.

Finland: Public outcry after 23-yo who slept with 10-yo charged with child sexual abuse but not rape

Finns have widely expressed their outrage and bafflement with a recent ruling in a case against a 23-year-old man who had intercourse with a ten-year-old girl.

The Turku Court of Appeal ruled last week that the defendant was guilty of aggravated child sexual abuse but not of aggravated rape and sentenced him to three years in prison, thus upholding a ruling issued in March by the District Court of Pirkanmaa.

The defendant was acquitted of the charge of aggravated rape on grounds that the defence was unable to substantiate its claim that the victim had been unable to defend herself and express her lack of consent because she was in a state of fear and helplessness at the time of the act, according to Helsingin Sanomat.

Jussi Tapani, a professor of criminal law at the University of Turku, and Matti Tolvanen, a professor of criminal law at the University of Eastern Finland, estimate in an interview with the newspaper that the case could ultimately warrant the attention of the Supreme Court of Finland.

Both of them indicated that the criminal code fails to unambiguously define the grounds for determining that the victim was in a state of fear or other state of helplessness.

A new oil deposit holding more than a billion tons of crude has been found in China, reports the official Xinhua News agency. The discovery was made by the Chinese National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) in the Juggar [Junggar] Basin in the Xinjiang region.

"Nearly 1.24 billion tons of crude have been found so far with about 520 million tons of proven reserves," officials at the state's company subsidiary PetroChina told the media. The company stressed the discovery came after ten years of geological exploration in the area.

Chinese oil majors such as PetroChina and China National Offshore Oil Corporation have been ramping up exploration efforts as domestic output from fading oil wells keeps falling, according to Reuters. PetroChina officials said the company has increased production capacity at its Xinjiang oilfield by 1.38 million tons this year or about 27,000 barrels per day.

Currently, China has the thirteenth largest volume of proven oil reserves with 25,620 million barrels of commercially recoverable crude.

China's largest oil field Daqing reportedly holds 5.7 billion tons of crude and a trillion cubic meters of natural gas. At the same time, China is the second-largest holder of emergency crude stockpiles. At the moment it is taking advantage of low oil prices to replenish storage.
