Following the Stockholm Arbitration Court's February 2018 ruling that Gazprom must pay compensation to Naftogaz for allegedly failing to supply earlier agreed-upon volumes of transit gas, the Ukrainian company rushed to appeal to European countries to immediately arrest the accounts of the Russian giant's sister companies.
Ukraine's efforts met with initial success, with Swiss authorities issuing an injunction on the assets of two firms engaged in the maintenance and construction of Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2, and their Dutch colleagues joining them two months later to freeze Gazprom shares in its Dutch subsidiaries.
But these days, the vitriol is coming from the other side. Chance the Rapper, for example, was was eviscerated online for suggesting that "Black people don't have to be democrats," and eventually pressured into apologizing. His comment came after Kanye West faced a firestorm of criticism after tweeting in support of Donald Trump. Earlier this year, country singer Shania Twain, a Canadian, also felt the need to apologize for stating that, were she an American citizen with voting rights, would have voted for Trump.
Expressing anything resembling support for the Trump administration has become nothing short of a taboo. And while these backlashes are hardly the same as the tweets I would get threatening my family during the election, they do raise the question, should Americans really be publicly shamed and bullied into apologizing for stating that they support the President of the United States?
There is more than a chance that this could spectacularly backfire.
Texas deputy arrested for repeatedly raping 4yo girl, threatened mom with deportation to keep silent
Bexar County Deputy, Jose Nunez
As the immigration controversy continues to escalate and children are pulled from their mother's arms to be thrown in cages, psychopaths who abuse their authority are using this time to prey on the weak. One such case of this horrific abuse became evident this week in San Antonio as a police officer was caught repeatedly raping a toddler whilst threatening her undocumented mother with deportation if she spoke up about it.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar made an announcement this week noting that one of his deputies had been arrested for the repeated rape of a 4-year-old girl. Deputy Jose Nunez, 47, was arrested over the weekend and charged with super aggravated sexual assault.

"The Saudi Arabian Football Federation would like to reassure everyone that all the Saudi national team players are safe, after a technical failure in one of the airplane engines that has just landed in Rostov-on-Don airport, and now they're heading to their residence safely," said a statement from the federation's English-language Twitter feed.
Footage that appeared to be shot from a passenger seat, showing the wing of the Airbus A319-100 enguled in fire was spread on social media by Middle Eastern news outlets.
Russia's Rossiya Airlines has dismissed reports that a fire had broken out on the plane as it was about to touch down in Rostov-on-Don.

Belle crying to go home with her father during a supervised visit.
Belle crying to go home with her father during a supervised visit.
Right now in the state of Mississippi, Michael Chambers is missing his little girl, Belle. When Belle was around two years old her mother abandoned her in the care of her grandmother. Chambers took custody of her after that. Lacking resources and the ability to track down his ex to serve her with custody papers, Chambers just took care of his daughter like a father should. Like many single parents, personal disputes often result in one parent harassing the other through any means possible. Belle's mother would occasionally call Chambers and shortly after the calls CPS would show up knocking on his door. The social workers where he lived understood the nature of the calls but when he moved to Warren county, things changed.
Comment: The list of CPS-directed horror stories are now legion in the US. And it seems we have yet another nightmare to thank the Clintons for!

Seymour Hersh accepts the LennonOno Grant for Peace at the Second Biennial Awards at the UN in New York in October, 2004.
Seymour Hersh accepts the LennonOno Grant for Peace at the Second Biennial Awards at the UN in New York in October, 2004.
Less than two months later, Brown was at a dinner in New York, and the conversation turned to Kissinger - specifically, this time, to his reported reaction to Hersh publishing a confidential report of Kissinger's in the New York Times. "Henry," she wrote, "drove straight back to the city [from Connecticut] in a murderous rage."
Kissinger's grief and outrage typify the reactions that many in the US political, military and intelligence establishments have experienced over the decades at the hands of Hersh, an investigative journalist par excellence. By doggedly pursuing leads, sources, witnesses and documents, by calling on his unrivalled wealth of contacts, and by getting people to talk to him, he has been responsible for an astonishing list of exposes in magazines and newspapers, from the My Lai massacre by US soldiers in South Vietnam in 1968 to the grotesque abuses meted out to detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq in 2003

Hodeidah, Yemen
Hodeidah, Yemen
Over 4,000 families have fled the city since June 1, according to the latest report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs that describes people losing their entire livelihood after airstrikes destroyed their farms.
"The air attacks were extremely heavy and violent back there, hitting humans, trees and houses - everything," one of the displaced Yemenis told RT's Ruptly video agency.
"A lot of people died - children and seniors" in the shelling of Hodeidah by the Saudi-led forces, another civilian added.
On Friday, AP reported that the number of casualties from the first three days of the operation stood at more than 280 people. But the death toll is feared to have grown as the coalition, which is seeking to reinstall the ousted government, continued to bomb Hodeidah on Saturday and Sunday, despite initial pledges to limit their bombing to the airport area, in what they call a "military and humanitarian operation" to "liberate the port of Hodeidah in western Yemen".
Comment: Again the UN is ineffective, opposition non-existent, rescue imaginary and consequences for deadly and diabolical behavior meted to the innocent.
The Saudi coalition: Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar (suspended), Bahrain, and Academi mercenaries. Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia offer airspace, territorial waters and military bases to the coalition. The US provides intel, logistic support, aerial refueling, search-and-rescue and sale of weapons. US and Britain deploy military personnel in the command and control centre responsible for Saudi-led air strikes on Yemen, having access to lists of targets. Britain supplies ammunition to the Saudis, such as cluster bombs.

The deadly blast rocked an area outside of the governor's compound in the capital of the Afghan Nangarhar Province as Taliban militants, government officials and civilians mingled together while exiting the government building following an Eid celebration. The explosion claimed the lives of at least 18 people, according to the head of the provincial public health department.
The explosion also left 45 people injured, Afghan officials report. The attack, allegedly carried out by a suicide bomber who blew himself in a crowd of people, came in the last hours of the ceasefire between the Taliban insurgents and the government forces. Despite that, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani extended a unilateral ceasefire for ten more days.
No group has claimed responsibility for the blast so far. The Sunday explosion has become the second incident that hit the province in a few days. On Saturday, 26 people were killed in another blast at a meeting of Taliban and Afghan security forces. The Saturday incident was later claimed by Islamic State (IS, former ISIS).
Comment: Who doesn't want the fighting to cease, after decades of uprising, death and destruction...

If the demolition does go ahead, it could amount to a violation of international humanitarian law. Forcible transfer of civilians living under occupation, demolition of Palestinian homes, and the expansion of settlements all violate the Fourth Geneva Convention.
According to some human rights organisations, destroying the village might also be considered a war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court - something which the rest of the world has a responsibility to prevent.
Comment: Besides thumbing its nose at international laws, Israel is a master at picking off critics one-by-one. The West needs to give up its 'Israel myth' worship and overcome its mesmerize.
