Crazed Honolulu cop beats man for praying over a seal

Jamie Kalani Rice and seal

Jamie Kalani Rice praying for a seal.
Jamie Kalani Rice, a native Hawaiian, has filed a federal complaint against Honolulu police for an unprovoked beating he received from Officer Ming Wang, which was captured on videotape.

Rice saw an endangered monk seal lying on the beach and believed it was sick, so he approached the seal and sat a few feet away from it. Rice chanted at the seal while rubbing sand on his body and throwing it in the air, attempting to use his mana (energy) for healing.

Volunteers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recorded the encounter after asking Rice not to approach the seal. They had posted signs saying "Hawaiian Monk Seals: Please do not Disturb."

The cameraman says, "Call the police" as he films. However, Rice was clearly not trying to harm the seal, and resorting to the police was uncalled for.

What will be the FED's next move in the Oregon militia standoff?

Malheur National Wildlife Refuge

Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
Ever since armed militiamen took over a federal building in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, the one question that has been on everyone's mind is "how are the Feds going to respond to this?" Regardless of whether or not you support these people, you have to admit that the government's response hasn't been typical.

At least for now, there isn't an army of soldiers, or swat teams, or tanks, bearing down on the militia's position. As far as we know the FBI is en route, and that's pretty much it. From the accounts that have been coming out of the area, it doesn't look like a Waco situation. It doesn't look like a Bundy Ranch situation either.

Granted, this could still get really ugly at any time, but based on what government officials have said, it doesn't sound like they want that. While its hard to say what they are thinking behind the scenes, publicly they are calling for a peaceful resolution to the situation. Even the White House chimed in, referring to the standoff as a "local law enforcement matter" and refusing to label the militiamen "terrorists," before calling for a peaceful resolution.

Hillary Clinton has stunned the public with a new revelation: Aliens might have visited Earth, she said. The Democratic presidential hopeful says if elected president, she would dig deep into the secret Area 51 site, aliens and UFOs.

Clinton made comments when talking to Daymond Steer of The Conway Daily Sun in New Hampshire last week. It was the first time since 2007 that she was interviewed by the reporter. Setting politics and mundane issues aside, Clinton and Daymond spoke briefly about extraterrestrial life.

"I think we may have been (visited already). We don't know for sure," the presidential candidate said, when asked about her husband's comment's to late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. In 2014, former President Bill Clinton told Kimmel that he would not be surprised if aliens visited us.

Mrs. Clinton also promised to expose the aliens and "get to the bottom of it," a vow that might endear her to scientists, space geeks and UFO enthusiasts.

Comment: Forget about what aliens may be out there. Focus on Hillary's alien view on humanity: And on and on and on.

Gas has begun flowing into a southern Ukrainian town that pleaded for Russian help during a bitter cold spell. Amid regular blackouts caused by the Kiev administration, Crimean authorities have fulfilled President Vladimir Putin's order to prevent people from freezing.

A port city along the Sea of Azov in the Kherson Oblast of southern Ukraine, Genichesk is home to more than 25,000 people who began suffering severe gas shortages when the thermometers plunged to -14 degrees Celsius over the weekend. By Monday more than 1,500 residents in the Kherson region were left without gas, as authorities struggled with the decreased pressure on the municipal pipeline.

Liar's Award for 2015: US brought peace to Syria!

john kirby

Liar, Liar...
The United States government can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but it cannot fool all of the people all of the time. That's why when State Department Spokesman John Kirby bragged up Washington's sordid achievements of 2015, even things that they never did, such as the declaration that the US brought "peace and security to Syria," everyone in the entire world raised eyebrows and said come again?

Writing in his laudatory year-in-review, Kirby further bragged of the US "stepping up to aid the Syrian people during their time of need," while taking credit for peace talks set for next month. Ironically, the peace talks are the fruit of a joint Russian-Iranian effort to get the opposition groups - not "moderate" terrorists - to talk with the Syrian government, something the War Party and its vassals had long resisted and openly opposed. Kirby's silly declaration notwithstanding, the War Party is no longer able to hide the bitter truth about the ongoing proxy war from hardcore thinkers:
  • The US has been bombing Syria for years to affect regime change and the nation is shedding millions of refugees as a result. Despite Kirby's efforts to couch America's involvement as a "humanitarian contribution," it consists pretty much exclusively of regime-change fantasy, all while arming "moderate" terrorists and allowing US bombers to be at the service of ISIL, Al-Qaeda and other proxies - the same goons that attacked Paris in November.
  • When it comes to Syria, state demolition and not "peace and security" is the best choice to describe what the United States and its rogue partners have delivered there thus far. Any doubters should ask the United Nations Security Council, which says the conflict has killed some 250,000 people and displaced 12 million.
  • According to human rights groups, despite the role of US military intervention in fuelling the rise of ISIL and conflict in Syria and Iraq, the American humanitarian response is severely lagging. Washington has admitted just about 1,854 Syrian refugees since 2012, and they will only take in more after two years of security checks.
  • The UN has registered over 2.1 million Syrian refugees in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon; 1.9 million in Turkey; and nearly 30,000 in North Africa. All of these numbers are low, as many refugees do not register. Further, these numbers fall well below calls for the US to resettle at least 100,000 refugees next year.

Comment: The best lies are not this obvious! Perhaps Kirby believes his own country's propaganda where perception is purposefully completely twisted and facts don't matter. Eyebrow raising? How about a bona fide trial-by-public truthification! The US definitely brought something to Syria, but it most assuredly wasn't peace!!!

Don't panic go organic: Homeless activists feed an entire shelter with rooftop garden

roof top garden atlanta
Every activist has read the increasing number of stories where homelessness is being criminalized, as if simply being homeless isn't punishment enough. However, there is a rising tide among all walks of life that is beginning to view homelessness in a very different light.

As a sinking economy and the criminal actions of the banking elite are leading many middle class, stable families into abject poverty, it is becoming much easier to identify with the less fortunate the closer their plight appears to be. Defenders of the homeless are becoming much more vocal now. We have seen some amazing examples recently of people moved to help those in need through programs such as an artist who paints and sells portraits of the homeless and gives them the profits; a former homeless man who gives back to the homeless by selling book reviews and buying food to share; or the inspiring story of a community organizer who used his own faith to connect with those from other faiths in a common cause of feeding those in need.

Obama to bypass Congress over gun control

Executive action target practice.
US President Barack Obama says he will bypass Congress and its opposition to gun control through introducing a raft of executive actions to resolve the crisis. "We have tens of thousands of people every single year who are killed by guns," Obama said in remarks at the Oval Office on Monday, adding he would take unilateral measures to end "the scourge of gun violence." He said the proposals, presented to him by Attorney General Loretta Lynch at the White House, would focus on regulating gun sales and preventing illegal purchases.

According to his aides, Obama's move could tighten rules on gun dealers, widen background checks to more buyers and clamp down on "straw purchases" which enable suspect individuals to buy guns through an intermediary. The president admitted the measures were "not going to solve every violent crime in this country. It's not going to prevent every mass shooting. It's not going to keep every gun out of the hands of a criminal," but he said "it will potentially, save lives in this country."

During a meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch and other advisers on Monday, Obama said "the good news is .. these are not only recommendations that are well within my legal authority and the executive branch, but they're also ones that the overwhelming majority of the American people, including gun owners, support."

Comment: "We the People" have not agreed on this action by "You the President."
