The Italian Navy has released dramatic footage of a rescue off the coast of Libya where they brought 562 migrants to safety after their overcrowded boat capsized.

The fishing vessel overturned Wednesday when migrants reportedly rushed to one side after spotting the naval boat nearby. At least five people are believed to have died in the tragedy.

The Italian navy patrol boat Bettica responded to a call for help made by a satellite phone some 18 nautical miles off Libya, according to The Local.

As the rescue boat approached the migrants to prove them with life jackets, the sudden push of passengers caused the vessel to overturn.

A helicopter and several rubber boats were deployed in the rescue operation.

The video shows the migrants swimming for life jackets and buoys, and later being pulled to safety.

Comment: These tragedies would not be occurring without NATO's war on the world:

Sunday night, Alesha, a 23-year-old transgender District Coordinator for TransAction in northern Pakistan, was attacked and shot eight times, according to a Facebook post from the organization. Her friends rushed her to the hospital, but doctors wouldn't treat her and she died Wednesday morning.

"Congratulations KP Govt," TransAction posted. "The TransAction Board Member and the district coordinator of the transgender Provincial Alliance Alesha died in LRH because she never received intensive medical attention."

The hospital told them that no bed was available for her.

TransAction posted that the gang that shot Alesha is known for targeting members of the transgender community, The Washington Post reports. At times, they have sexually assaulted transgender people and recorded the crime on video.

Stunt patrol: US Special Ops Forces stage a 'raid in search of pirates', Tampa, FL

United States Special Operations Forces descended from buildings, jumped from a Black Hawk helicopter and fired shots as they ambushed downtown Tampa, Florida, where 'pirates' had 'captured' the mayor. The stunt even took place in broad daylight. The rescue effort on was to test readiness in a crisis situation by carrying out a 30-minute drill exercise during the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference in the central Florida city Wednesday.

"To come here and showcase frankly was a little easier. It was daylight. Everything was on our terms, good weather, no bad guys; the manatees didn't interfere, no lightning, but the interoperability was already," Special Forces Lt. Col. Chris Robeshaw told reporters, according to WFLA.

Joining US Special Operations forces in the exercise were Navy SEALS, Marine Raiders and Army Green Berets, plus members from 15 other nations including Ireland and Jordan, many in make-up and disguises.

"You are just humbled to be amongst them. This is a great demo, but this is serious business for them," said rescued Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn who was captured by pirates in the scenario told WFLA. The Washington Post reported "role players, dressed in black and carrying Kalashnikovs, feigned gunshot wounds as the coalition of commandos swooped in."


Comment: The military 'dog and pony' show, aimed at curving public opinion, looks great in daylight with no opposition or obstacles, no blood or gore, a Tampa movie set with a typically law enforcement-level scenario. This demo is in essence a slick, subliminal message for civilians to remain a non-reactionary, asleep population, unwilling to rise to the task of self-defense, unwilling to challenge the PTB and NWO. If you train where you intend to fight, expect Special Ops covert forces in urban USA.

Just say no to idiocy: Common Core opt-out movement is growing

common core
Nationwide opposition to Common Core is on the rise, and more and more students and parents are choosing to opt-out on their own. According to a story by U.S. News & World Report over half a million school-aged children opted out of Common Core standardized testing last year. In New York around a fifth of students simply didn't take the tests.

In November 2013, Federal Education Secretary Arne Duncan attributed opposition to Common Core to "white suburban moms" who discovered that "all of a sudden, their child isn't as brilliant as they thought they were and their school isn't quite as good as they thought."

Like so many federal bureaucrats, Duncan was dead wrong, as USA News reports the opt-out movement reflects widespread distaste crossing demographic lines:

A Texas jail has been caging people who are too poor to afford bail, according to a new lawsuit.

Harris County Jail - the largest in Texas and the third largest in the US - is accused of keeping most of its incarcerated population locked up for misdemeanors because they can't afford bail or trial.

Now, Harris County, Sheriff Ron Hickman, and five bail-hearing magistrates are being sued by the human rights group Equal Justice Under Law for discriminating against poor prisoners.

From the Houston Press:
In Harris County, 77 percent of the jail population are people who have yet to be convicted of crimes, who are in jail because they cannot afford to get out. A recent study by Gerald Wheeler, retired director of Harris County Pretrial Services and a doctoral researcher, found that 81 percent of people charged with misdemeanors will spend time in jail, and of those, a quarter of them can't afford bail costing $500 or less. Only 7 percent were released on a personal bond.

After pepper-spraying a teen in the face, a school resource officer was caught on video violently slamming him into a concrete staircase before brutally assaulting him. Although the teen was not attempting to fight back, the officer kneed him in the back before viciously wrenching the boy's arms in a blatant example of excessive force.

During the last class period on Wednesday, an 18-year-old Central High School student named Nelson Moroukian recorded a cell phone video of a school cop brutalizing a former student during an arrest. According to the video, Officer Bill Kraus held the teen against a wall while the former student pleaded for help.

"You want more?" Kraus antagonized as the teen remained against the wall clutching his own face.

The financial burden of higher-education: Homelessness on college campuses

When the College Cost Reduction and Access Act took effect in 2009, neither lawmakers nor school administrators had any idea how many college students would check the box on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) - the document that determines eligibility for Pell grants, subsidized loans and work-study awards that help students pay for college or vocational training - to indicate that they were homeless.

At last tabulation, the number was 58,000, a small percentage of the 20.2 million students presently enrolled in both undergraduate and graduate study. Nonetheless, school counselors and advocates believe the number is starkly inaccurate and represents a mere fraction of university students who actually lack a permanent home.

Comment: The true cost of 'higher education' in the land of the free! Is a college degree worth the time and money?
Crushing college debt: The unforgiven generation

The report, coordinated by Junior Achievement USA and PwC US and prepared by New York-based research firm YPulse, found several key trends among recent graduates (aged 18-29), including:
  • For 60 percent of Millennials, financial aid is a deciding factor in their school choice. Among those not attending their first choice school this year, 62 percent said it was because they couldn't afford it.
  • College tuition and loans top the list of money matters that are worrying Millennials ages 18-29, with one in five (21 percent) claiming it as their family's main financial problem.
  • One-third of those students with loans are shelling out over $300 per month and five percent are actually paying more than $1000 per month.
  • Nearly one-in-four Millennials (24 percent) believe their student loan debt will ultimately be forgiven.
Though told by society that the key to a bright and prosperous future is largely dependent on getting a degree, the new generation is becoming increasingly skeptical of that claim.

An Idaho father will face jail time for forcing his young daughter to marry the man who raped her, Fox31 reports.

Keith Strawn will spend 120 days in jail for taking his 14-year-old daughter out of state to marry the 24-year-old man who had raped and impregnated her.

"While you spend those 120 day in jail, perhaps you will think about the 120 days your daughter was in a vile farce of a marriage to a rapist," Judge Greg Moeller told Strawn at his Tuesday hearing. Strawn was convicted of one felony count of causing injury to a child.

Aaron Seaton has been convicted and is serving a 15-year sentence in connection to the rape, which impregnated the teen. She had a miscarriage, Fox13 reports. Court records obtained by the station show Strawn "harbored and protected" the man by letting him live with the girl.

Total control: DARPA and mainstream media collude to push micro-chipping of children

It's hard to imagine the mainstream media stooping to an even lower low than where they're at right now, but rest assured, if you start to become comfortable with them they'll push that line even farther.

This time, NBC is pushing that Orwellian envelope to an extreme level as it advocates for human microchipping of children "sooner rather than later".

In a recently televised report from NBC News, they liken having your child microchipped by the state at birth to something as societally normalized as bar codes for consumer goods.
"When barcodes first came out in the late 1960s, people were appalled. They were wary of them and did not understand the concept. Today, it is so commonplace, we don't even notice it. A microchip would work much in the same way" - NBC
This statement reveals the mentality that these types of people have, thinking of us not as human beings, but as cattle needing to be tagged by their our owners.

Be Afraid and We Will Protect You

It goes without saying that this agenda to microchip the human race has little to do with "safety" and much to do with control.

Whenever the establishment wants us to comply with something, they often give us talking points through the media that are designed to frighten us into complacency. If it's about a vaccine, you may get very sick or die if you don't go out and take their shot; when campaigning for war or surveillance you might just be shot down by a terrorist; and when voting be very, very afraid that the other candidate will win so you will be sure to cast a vote for one of the two, of which neither will ever really change anything.

Comment: From robots to artificial intelligence and software to read your mind, the Pentagon and DARPA are busy creating ways to reduce the population to little more than automatons and prisoners in a high-tech worldwide control grid.
