Eight people, including a sheriff's deputy, have died following a shooting spree in rural Mississippi, according to local authorities.

The shootings occurred at three separate locations around Lincoln County, south of Jackson, Saturday, a spokesperson from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation confirmed to the Associated Press. A suspect has been arrested. No charges have yet been filed.
Eight people, including two boys and a sheriff's deputy, were killed in a house-to-house shooting spree in rural Mississippi after an apparent domestic conflict. The suspect now says he "ain't fit to live" after what he'd done.

The tragedy unfolded after the suspect, 35-year-old Willie Corey Godbolt, got into an argument with his estranged wife and her family over his children.

Godbolt first opened fire at the house of his in-laws in the town of Bogue Chitto, after a deputy arrived in response to a domestic disturbance call, AP reported.

The bodies of three women and Lincoln County Sheriff's Deputy William Durr were found at the scene, according to Mississippi Bureau of Investigation spokesman Warren Strain, as cited by the Clarion-Ledger newspaper.

A video in Arabic calling for the worship of Allah "with love, not terror" has gone viral on YouTube, with over two million views in four days. Released at the start of Ramadan, it slams terrorists for "filling cemeteries with children."

The video, featuring Hussain Al Jassmi, an Arabic-language singer from the United Arab Emirates, was released on YouTube by Kuwaiti mobile telecommunications company Zain on Friday.

The release coincided with the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which started on May 26 this year.

The video starts with impassioned lines from a child who addresses terrorists: "I will tell God everything. That you've filled the cemeteries with our children and emptied our school desks..."

Petition to investigate Seth Rich murder goes viral; reward tops $345K

Seth Rich
With the former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich asking questions about the bizarre killing of a Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer in 2016, the murder mystery surrounding Seth Rich has taken an interesting turn. A White House Petition has been started demanding President Trump appoint a special prosecutor to find his killer.

It is important to note that those of us asking for an investigation into the death of Seth Rich, are not some tinfoil nutjobs as the mainstream media attempts to claim. Since when is wanting justice for a murder 'conspiracy theory'? No one at the Free Thought Project has ever attempted to claim to know who killed Seth Rich, we simply want an investigation. And, since this petition has gone viral — it appears that a lot of other Americans want the same thing.

When Rich was killed in 2016, Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange called for an investigation into the homicide. Why would a wanted man, holed up in an Ecuadorian embassy in London care at all who killed the Washington, DC-based staffer? That question remains unanswered but some believe he was the source of the DNC database of emails which, arguably, cost Hillary Clinton the 2016 presidential election.

Second journalist to be killed this year, Russian editor investigating corruption murdered in his backyard

Russian authorities must bring to justice those responsible for the killing of Dmitry Popkov, chief editor of independent local newspaper Ton-M in Siberia, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Popkov's body was found with five bullet wounds in his backyard late last night in the city of Minusinsk in the Siberian region of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russian and international media reported. Popkov is the second journalist to be killed in Russia this year.

"We call on Russian authorities to conduct a thorough, unbiased, and effective investigation into the brutal slaying of Dmitry Popkov and bring those responsible to justice," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. "Russia is a country where too many journalists have been murdered for their work while their killers walk free. This toxic cycle of impunity must be reversed once and for all."

Popkov, 42, who co-founded Ton-M in 2014, was known for his investigative reports on abuse of power and corruption, as well as his criticism of functionaries from the leading Kremlin-backed United Russia party. The newspaper, published under the motto, "We write what other people stay silent about," was well-known in Krasnoyarsk Krai and had been subject to threats and pressure from authorities. It has also been the target of politically motivated police raids, according to media reports. In an August 2016 editorial, Popkov wrote that Ton-M was "accustomed to being a pain in the neck for many officials who are trying to [silence us] in every possible way," through "phone threats, intimidating searches, and interrogations." He added that the authorities were concerned about the "corruption incidents that we reveal."

According to a new poll, 63 percent of Russians said they would vote for Vladimir Putin if the presidential election was held next weekend. Among those who said they had already made up their mind, the figure was a record 82 percent.

The poll was conducted last week by the independent Levada public opinion center, which says the 82 percent rating is the highest ever.

Six percent of those who said they had already decided who to vote for said they would vote for Liberal Democratic Party head Vladimir Zhirinovsky. Four percent said they would vote for Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov, while two percent back anti-corruption activist Aleksey Navalny.

Five percent of those polled said they planned on voting in the election, but had not yet made up their minds on who to vote for.

Honoring 33 Native American Tribes who Served As "Code Talkers" using traditional tribal language for military operations during World War I and World War II

Code talkers
By definition, a "code talker" refers to a Native American who served during a foreign conflict and transmitted a secret coded message in their traditional tribal language for military operations during World War I and World War II.

In 2000, Navajo Code Talkers were honored with Congressional Gold Medals for their services in developing and implementing their traditional Dine' language as a secretive code of communication on the battle fields in both WWI and WWII.

"However, many Americans do not know that members of nearly 32 other Indian tribes served as codetalkers in World War I and World War II and have never been formally recognized for their service to our country," said Chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Colorado at the Senate Hearing on Code Talkers

During this hearing on the "Contributions of Native American Code Talkers in American Military History, Senator Campbell lists 32 other tribes to serve as code talkers during both the Pacific and European campaigns as; Comanche, Cheyenne, Cherokee, Osage, Lakota, Dakota, Chippewa, Oneida, Sac and Fox, Meskwaki, Hopi, Assiniboine, Kiowa, Pawnee, Akwesasne, Menominee, Creek, Cree Seminole Tribes and Other unlisted tribes...

Sick cops beat kids on elementary school playground

cop assaults playground kids
A dramatic video posted to Facebook this weekend shows two Springfield police officers wreaking havoc on children at a playground. The department is now conducting damage control after the video began going viral on Sunday.

The video is of an incident that unfolded Friday afternoon around 7:00 pm at the playground of Harvard Park Elementary. According to police, they were responding to reports of alleged criminal activity in the area. When the police arrived they demanded all the children vacate the playground.

Apparently, the children didn't leave the playground fast enough or moved to the other side of it, which caused all hell to break loose. As the brief video shows, the officers attempt to grab some of the children and one of them falls to the ground.

Once the officer is on top of the child on the ground he begins to dole out punches to the boy's face and chest. It is unclear what caused the officer to begin beating the child. However, it appears it was not at all necessary and could've sparked a much more serious incident.

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo called for a black feminist festival to be banned, saying that the event "is prohibited to white people." The "militant Afro-feminist fest" is planning to host four-fifths of its venues for black people only.

Nyansapo Fest is scheduled to take place at La Générale Nord-Est cultural center in Paris July 28-30. The "militant Afro-feminist event" is "rooted in black feminism, activism, and on a European scale," its organizers said.

Activities are set to take place in several locations, but around 80 percent of the total area will be reserved for black women, the organizers said.

The second, "non-mixed" area is arranged "for black people" regardless of gender, while the third space will be "open to all races and genders."

In the English version of the event description, the organizers dropped the word "non-mixed."
