Russell Brand points out the ridiculousness of the U.S. spending $4 billion on elections while feeding the homeless is illegal

Russell Brand weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding the arrest of a 90-year-old Fort Lauderdale, Florida man whose only crime was violating a new city ordinance against feeding the homeless.

"He couldn't look any more like an adorable old man, could he?" Brand began. "And yet he's being ushered away by the police."

"These values now aren't the preserve of extreme activists, loonies in Anonymous masks tipping over police vans - they're the values of elderly old war veteran men, because the values we're talking about are just compassion and fairness."

"There's a prevailing idea," he continued, "that there's something ethically wrong with being poor, and that America's run according to Christian values. But when people are practicing genuine Christian values, they themselves are directly prosecuted."

"Clearly," Brand said, "what Jesus was really into was having guns, and not having abortions, and not being gay. Those are his main priorities. But after he made sure that everyone had a gun, no one had an abortion, and nobody was gay, he had a little think about the poor people and whether they needed anything."

In this video Luke Rudkowski talks about the latest news about the death and abuse of kids while they are under the states custody. In particular, the case in Houston where a 2-year-old was taken from her parents because they were marijuana legalization activists only to be killed in CPS custody.

Comment: These types of heinous incidences are happening more frequently as the police state moves to control every facet of our lives. Children are being kidnapped from their parents by CPS using the most ridiculous excuses. It's totally outrageous!

US film director, screenwriter and producer Oliver Stone told RIA Novosti that he would like to shoot a documentary about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"I would like to make a documentary [about Putin]," the director told RIA Novosti in an interview Thursday.

He stressed that he does not plan to shoot a feature film, but would rather do an interview with the Russian president.

"We had no plans to make a movie [a scripted feature] on Putin. I would love to do an interview with him... because he represents a different point of view that Americans don't hear," Stone said.

Comment: Providing Americans "a different point of view that Americans don't hear" would be great if a wide audience could be reached. Will it make a difference to the dumbed down state we are in?

DWI charge against man dropped after cop kicks him in groin, shatters testicle, then destroys video evidence

A New Mexico judge recently dismissed a DWI case against a man beaten so badly by an Albuquerque cop that he had to have surgery to remove a ruptured testicle. The officer then destroyed a bystander's video of the incident, leading to the dropped charges.

In April, Albuquerque Police Officer Pablo Padilla pulled over a car operated by University of New Mexico student Jeremy Martin for driving while intoxicated. Martin, 25, pleaded with Padilla to let him go, disobeying the police officer's instruction for him to sit on the curb.

Padilla then lost his temper, kicking Martin in the groin.


Comment: That the officer was only suspended for 6 weeks for his actions is ridiculous. It's just another instance of the Albuquerque police engaging in police brutality. The local residents are fed up, but there doesn't seem to be much changing:

Things are heating up in Argentina?: Another explosion at a chemical plant in Cordoba

Neighbors said that a toxic cloud rose after the explosion.
The explosion occurred at a chemical factory located in the region of Cordoba.

A big explosion was reported Thursday night at a chemical factory in the Argentinian region of Cordoba on Thursday night. Preliminary reports say there are at least 46 injured people, according to local media.

The local Fire Department said the explosion was caused by a fire in the building of the Chemicals Rigoni company. They also said that the fire began around 8:00 p.m. local time and that the explosion happened about 50 minutes later, affecting houses and cars in a radius of various kilometers.

​"Many people were slightly injured," said Francisco Fortuna, Health Minister of Cordoba.

Fortuna added that most of the people were attended and then released, but that three of them were badly injured and were still in hospital.

Comment: Things are not looking good for Argentina. There was a gas explosion at an electricity plant in Cordoba last August, U.S. vulture funds are circling over the country, casting their evil eye on its resources, massive floods in Buenos Aires as we speak and President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has been hospitalized due to complications of an intestinal infection, weeks after her impressive and excellent speech at the UN, where she discussed ISIS and the American vulture funds aka economic terrorists that are destroying Argentina.
On the bright side: Argentina is a strategic partner of Russia and they have RT Spanish now!

Cannibal killer ate parts of Welsh woman's face

Cerys Yemm Wide
The 22-year-old died after she was attacked by Matthew Williams, who ate parts of her face. He later died at the Sirhowy Arms hotel in South Wales after police used a Taser to try to stop him.

Cannibal killer Matthew Williams lured his 22 year-old victim back to his hotel room after meeting her in a bar before attacking her and eating her face and an eye, it has emerged.

Williams told the woman - named on Friday as Cerys Yemm, a sales assistant at Next - that he would call her a taxi home after meeting her on a night out. But once back at the B&B where he was staying, he launched an horrific attack.


Comment: Yet another case of "zombie attack". There has been a lot of these lately.

Whenever bizarre or unusual incidents are grouped together like this in a short period of time, be they murders (or humans acting out in some way), weird weather (like similar severe weather happening simultaneously yet thousands of miles apart) or earth changes, we should ALWAYS sit up and take notice, because such events are intrinsically linked to the course of human evolution, at least in the sense that they have the potential to affect human evolution in potentially drastic ways.

Yet another fake Bin Laden story from the Navy SEAL who claims to have killed him

An image purporting to show Osama bin Laden's bloody corpse, right, is a composite of two separate images, left and centre.
RT, one of my favorite news sources, has fallen for a fake story put out by the Pentagon to support the fantasy story that a SEAL team killed Osama bin Laden, who died a second time in Abbottabad, Pakistan, a decade after his first death from illness and disease.

This fake story together with the fake movie and the fake book by an alleged SEAL team member is the way the fake story of bin Laden's murder is perpetrated. Bin Laden's alleged demise at the hands of a SEAL team was a propaganda orchestration, the purpose of which was to give Obama a hero's laurels and deep six Democratic talk of challenging his nomination for a second term.

High school students carry a banner reading "money for education, not for banks" as they march in central Athens against educational reforms, the merging of schools and a lack of teachers.
Thousands of student protesters in Athens have tried to breach the barricades in front of the parliament building facing a large security presence from police, demonstrations once again engulfed the Greek capital.

Up to 4,000 students, university staff and teachers from a number of educational institutions including the University of Athens took to the streets in Athens on Thursday, to protest against cuts in the educational sector as well as increased anti-protest security measures across educational institutions.

The protesters reject the government plans in the "new school" bill, which wants to introduce changes to the exam system, merge schools, and cut the number of teachers. According to the Greek Reporter since Monday some 500 secondary schools across the country have been occupied by protest sit-ins.

Protesters were chanting slogans and carrying banners to send a clear message of defiance to the Education Minister Andreas Loverdos' who recently announced stricter security measures against such sit-ins. On Tuesday, Supreme Court prosecutor Efterpi Koutzamani asked for officials to act to ensure that public schools are not damaged during student occupations.

Samantha Power - one of many Harvard a**holes
Harvard University is renowned the world over for the Ivy League education its students are offered, and the curriculum there this week indeed contains a class or two you'd be hard press to find elsewhere.

As part of its annual Sex Week, "a week of programming that is interdisciplinary, thought-provoking, scholastic, innovative and applicable to student experiences in order to promote a holistic understanding of sex and sexuality," a student-run group at the school will be hosting classes that contrast quite sharply with the comparably run-of-the-mill offerings a Harvard education typically involves.

Starting this Monday, Sex Week attendees can sit-in on events that range from a sexual health career panel on Tuesday evening, to a class offered that afternoon called "What's What in the Butt: Anal Sex 101."

Donbass election day ushers in 'the real ceasefire' though residents believe it will be short-lived

Donetsk residents cast their votes at Polling Station No. 137 during the elections for the head and the People's Council of the Donetsk People's Republic.

Comment: The elections held in war-weary Donbass are a testament to their commitment to the right to self-government. At the moment they are worried mostly about day-today survival. With the support of Russia and other right-thinking countries, they may get the breathing space they need to generate new ideas on how to go about it.


Kiev refuses to recognize the elections in eastern Urkaine - but has not provoked any hostilities either.

The Donbass elections resulted in a predictable outcome, bringing victory to Alexander Zakharchenko, head of the Oplot battalion, who scooped more than 70 percent of the votes. Turnout varied from 65 percent to 100 percent at 350 polling stations, where 1,148,000 people had registered to vote.

This election has been surprising in two ways.
