Breitbart Editor Milo Placed on Extremist Watchlist

According to internet buzz, it seems controversial Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been placed on an extremist list by the UK school board?

After cancelling his talk at Simon Langton, Milo has posted on his Facebook that:

Milo may be a bit over the top, but the fabulously gay provocateur is anything but an extremist. The Left/Right war rages on, with SJWs in the UK Dept. of Education making a conspicuously poorly timed move.

Calexit movement begins gathering signatures for secession vote

Supporters of Californian independence have taken the first real step towards secession from the US, submitting a ballot proposal to the state attorney general. Should the option garner enough support, 'Calexit' might become an issue.

A group called 'Yes California Independence Campaign' filed their proposal with the attorney general's office, asking to "prepare a circulating title and summary of the enclosed ballot measure: "Calexit: The California Independence Plebiscite of 2019."

Secession supporters want to repeal the California Constitution's wording as well as offer a "yes/no" question on California's independence.

"In the Spring of 2019, Californians will go to the polls in a historic vote to decide by referendum if California should exit the Union, a #Calexit vote," the group said on its website.

Before 2019, however, the idea must garner enough preliminary support via the November 2018 ballot. Under the group's proposal, the Golden State would be cut loose if 50 percent of voters cast ballots and at least 55 percent of them support Calexit. In that case, they also want the "newly-independent Republic of California" to be able to join the United Nations.

Mosul: Chaos erupts during food aid delivery

Footage from Ruptly shows hundreds of desperate and starving Iraqi residents pushing and shoving each other as emergency food aid is handed out of a truck in the northern city of Mosul.

Half a dozen trucks sent by the Iraqi government took food to the residents of areas of Mosul that had recently been liberated from the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL). The trucks arrived on Sunday, accompanied by Iraqi Special Operations Forces (ISOF). However, it seems that in at least one area they were unable to control the hungry crowd. Members jostled with one another in a frantic attempt to get their hands on something to eat. Men, women and children pleaded with the aid workers and pushed and pulled and even climbed on top of one another, trying to wrestle a food parcel for themselves.

Texas cops tase wheelchair-bound woman twice

Deputies with the Harris County Sheriff's Office twice shocked a woman in a wheelchair with a Taser, once when she was on the ground and handcuffed. The sheriff's office is investigating its own deputies' use of force in the case.

On Wednesday, November 16, Sheketha Holman, a 36-year-old woman who has used a wheelchair for the past two years due to a lower back injury, arrived at the scene of her daughter's arrest at a gas station in Harris County, Texas. Holman immediately began recording deputies involved in the arrest, verbally engaging with the deputies present. The events were also recorded by surveillance video, which was obtained by KTRK.

At one point, a deputy grabbed Holman's smartphone and threw it in the car in which she arrived. She then resisted deputies' attempts to corral her hands. A deputy eventually used a Taser on her. The Taser's shock sent her out of her wheelchair and to the ground, where she was later shocked again after she was handcuffed.

The war on drugs is a failure, says prominent medical journal

war on drugs
"The war on drugs has failed," the editors of the peer-reviewed British Medical Journal declared this week, arguing that doctors should lead the global effort to reform drug policy.

Fiona Godlee, the journal's editor-in-chief, and Richard Hurley, its features and debates editor, penned an analysis citing academic and scientific reports to argue global policies on drug use — including the United Nations' — have fallen drastically short.

Godlee and Hurley note the annual cost of prohibition, which entails criminalizing "producers, traffickers, dealers, and users," totals at least $100 billion annually.

"But the effectiveness of prohibition laws, colloquially known as the 'war on drugs,' must be judged on outcomes," they write. "And too often the war on drugs plays out as a war on the millions of people who use drugs, and disproportionately on people who are poor or from ethnic minorities and on women."

A deranged son who hacked off his mum's head and stuck it on a spike like Vlad the Impaler told police she had been possessed by a demon who kept demanding he do housework. Ionel Mihaila admitted decapitating his mum with a kitchen knife and running a fence post through her brain to "kill the demon inside".

Police in Movileni, central Romania, were called to the gruesome scene after the 37-year-old confessed the killing to a priest, according to reports. Mihaila - who had been working abroad before the bizarre killing - told the priest he had "restored the balance" with the slaying.

His mum's head had reportedly been impaled facing away from the church because she had "no right" to look towards god. Mihaila told investigators that his 71-year-old mother was possessed by a demon who ordered him to do household chores and diluted his wine with water.

New Mexico police accused of deleting, editing cop shooting footage

Albuquerque police cruiser
A former records supervisor for the Albuquerque Police Department has alleged in a sworn affidavit that officials altered or deleted body-camera video showing police shootings in at least two cases.

Reynaldo Chavez alleged in his affidavit that SD memory cards from the cameras were easy to lose, and that he specifically witnessed assistant police chief Robert Huntsman say "we can make this disappear," while discussing an officer's body camera, New Mexico's In Depth reports. Chavez claimed that, in the case of the 2014 fatal police shooting of suspected car thief Mary Hawkes, body camera footage of three officers present during the incident was altered or partially deleted.

College bans US flag citing 'hate-based violence' post-Trump victory

US flag at half staff, large
A Massachusetts college has decided to remove an American flag amid struggles to stop "hate-based violence" that escalated since President-elect Donald Trump's victory. The flag was initially flown at half-staff, but that only triggered more disputes.

From now on, Hampshire College will not be flying American or any other flags, following the school president Jonathan Lash's decision.

After the November 8 election, the college has been lowering its American flag to half-staff to "acknowledge the grief and pain experienced by so many" as well as "to enable the full complexity of voices and experiences to be heard." After Trump's victory, some on campus have been calling the flag a symbol of racism and hatred.

Seven civilians managed to leave the militant-held eastern districts of Syria's Aleppo on Tuesday, a local militia source told RIA Novosti.

The escape plan was elaborated with the help of the Syrian army, while the first ten people (two families, each consisting of five people) were evacuated from Aleppo under the same scheme on November 20.

"A group of civilians, consisting of seven people, reached positions of the Syrian army in the Suleiman al-Halabi neighborhood today, and they were later relocated to safer areas," the source said.

The Syrian government forces reportedly plan to take other steps aimed at rescuing civilians from the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo, though no details are disclosed.

Comment: Here's footage of the two families who managed to escape the jihadists in eastern Aleppo on November 20.


One of the comments on YT: "They were led with instructions on the phone, by the Syrian military. They watched them through the scope and told them when and where to move."

A South London couple have been imprisoned for funding terrorism after admitting they sent money to their nephew, an Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) fighter in Syria. The pair also encouraged him to "eradicate" the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

Mohammed Iqbal Golamaully, 48, and his wife, Nazimabee Golamaully, 45 admitted they sent money, £219 (€256), to Zafirr Golamaully and pled guilty to funding terrorism, after originally claiming the money was for his university studies.

Zafirr Golamaully is a well-known IS fighter, who goes by the name Paladin of Jihad online. He left his family home in Mauritius in March 2014 and travelled to Syria.

Mohammed is originally from Mauritius and worked as a manager of a hospital, while Nazimabee is English and was a former IT consultant.

Comment: The UK needs to find scapegoats to remind the populace why they need them. When will those hypocritical governments that have been funding terrorists and killing innocent civilians face the consequences of their actions?
