Faroe Islanders have turned the sea red during their annual killing of a herd of innocent pilot whales.

Every year, innocent whales are forced to swim towards the shores of the Danish islands during their migration.

But when local fishermen catch a glimpse of them, the mammals slow down before locals get in their power boats and dinghies to close in on the large school of whales.

The CIA launched a secret operation of kidnapping suspects days after the US began bombing Afghanistan in late 2001
The realm of warlord Azizullah, who had been terrifying people in Afghanistan for years, has become the newest "caliphate" of Islamic State in the north of the country, after the terrorist was "unexpectedly" freed from prison, locals revealed to RT.

The son of an Uzbek jihadist leader, Azizullah is a second-generation warlord. Often described as dangerous, ambitious, and fanatical, the infamous jihadist has brought death to many people in Afghanistan. Until recently, he was incarcerated in the notorious Bagram prison - but in the fall of 2016, Azizullah was released, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. Locals told RT's Murad Gazdiev that it happened "unexpectedly."

The war correspondent managed to speak to some of the locals and refugees in Mazari Sharif in Northern Afghanistan, who have witnessed and suffered the warlord's atrocities in the neighboring Faryab and Sar-e-Pul provinces. They have spoken up about the carnage in their native lands for the first time.

The notion of "the privacy of your own home" may be becoming a thing of the past. Cheap software has reportedly spread in the Chinese Internet, allowing web-connected cameras and home surveillance devices to be infiltrated.

Virtually anyone can buy the hacking software for just 188 yuan ($28) with an attached list of IP addresses and a manual on how to use the malware, China's CCTV broadcaster reported after conducting an investigation. The malware scans for internet-connected webcams, giving its buyers easy access to them.

The tool has recently spread in Chinese online chat rooms such as QQ Messenger, along with usernames and passwords to affected devices, CCTV reported.

Lists of up to 200 to 400 compromised cameras and login credentials are given away each day, and are downloaded by hundreds of people, according to the Chinese media outlet.

Those with webcams and other easily hackable camera devices are advised to change their passwords immediately and often, as a safety precaution.

Looks like teenagers being lazy is more than just a stereotype.

A new study conducted by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore looked at more than 12,500 people's exercise habits by having them wear fitness trackers for a week. When they separated that data by age, they found something alarming about teenagers.

"Activity levels at the end of adolescence were alarmingly low, and by age 19, they were comparable to 60-year-olds," says the study's senior author, Vadim Zipunnikov.

Comment: With exercise being so critical for a healthy mind, it seems this is one more way that children in the US are being cheated out of a healthy adulthood.

These candies could easily end up in the wrong hands.
Harris County police got an unexpected surprise when they responded to a 911 call about a potential burglary. Two suspects were discovered attempting to flee the scene with 600 pounds of candy lollipops made with methamphetamine.

The suspected burglars, Evonne Christine Mick, 36, and David Salinas, 21, had "put so many narcotics in the back of the vehicle, so they were trying to flee, and they couldn't even close the back hatch to their vehicle," reported an authority from Harris County.

Stunning secret story of the CIA and 'War on Drugs' is finally being told on The History Channel

A still frame from the History Channel documentary “America’s War on Drugs.”
Chuck Grassley, a Republican senator from Iowa, is known on Twitter for expressing his yearning for the History Channel to finally show some history. Here are two of his many tweets on this subject:



The good news for Grassley, and for everyone else, is that starting Sunday night and running through Wednesday the History Channel is showing a new four-part series called "America's War on Drugs." Not only is it an important contribution to recent American history, it's also the first time U.S. television has ever told the core truth about one of the most important issues of the past 50 years.

That core truth is: The war on drugs has always been a pointless sham. For decades the federal government has engaged in a shifting series of alliances of convenience with some of the world's largest drug cartels. So while the U.S. incarceration rate has quintupled since President Richard Nixon first declared the war on drugs in 1971, top narcotics dealers have simultaneously enjoyed protection at the highest levels of power in America.
