Alex Jones Republican rally Ohio 6 Aug. 2018

In the battle to have Alex Jones and Infowars purged from social media, it's not obvious who won. Jones' critics are celebrating because he's been deplatformed, while he claims to have 5.6 million extra subscribers as a result.

Jones and his right-wing conspiracy platform, Infowars, have been wiped off YouTube, Facebook, Apple, LinkedIn, Spotify, Stitcher, and Pinterest, among others. The big beasts of social media who constantly insist they are independent, appeared to work in a coordinated way to censor the bizarre but undeniably popular conspiracy theorist.

"Infowars has had the highest traffic it's ever had - 5.6 million new subscribers in the past 48 hours - and so has my radio show,"Jones told the Daily Mail, referring to his newsletter and podcast.

Social media platforms risk creating the right-wing answer to Star Wars' Obi Wan Kenobi: strike him down and he will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Comment: If Infowars' stats are as claimed, it begs the question - was this the intended result? Some background on Alex Jones: Alex Jones: The Pied Piper of Extremism Who Brands "Truth-Seeking" as Mental Illness

A mother believed to be overdosing on heroin gave birth in an Ohio Burger King bathroom stall, and first responders found the baby alive in the toilet Friday afternoon, according to Chillicothe police.

Police initially responded to reports of a man who had passed out in a vehicle and that a woman, who was with him, had overdosed, according to WSYX.

Officers said they found 26-year-old Zachary Frey passed out behind the wheel of a running vehicle and Elizabeth D. Sanders, also 26, sitting on the toilet in the women's restroom, a suspected ball of heroin on the floor beside her.

Sanders told officers she thought she had suffered a miscarriage, police said. However, when the officer looked inside the toilet, there was an infant lying face up, according to the Chillicothe Gazette. The officer reportedly told Sanders to stand up, causing the child to roll face down into the water.

Siraj ibn Wahhaj’s compound in New Mexico

Siraj ibn Wahhaj, the son of a prominent New York City imam, was arrested at a "filthy" compound in New Mexico, where 11 children found there had been trained in how to shoot up schools, prosecutors said in court documents.

Ibn Wahhaj, 39, and four other adults were arrested on Friday and charged with 11 counts of felony child abuse. Ahead of a court hearing on Wednesday, prosecutors asked the judge not to grant him bail, saying he was training the children to commit school shootings, AP reported.

Another male, identified as Lucas Morten, and three women - Jany Leveille, 35, Hujrah Wahhaj, 38, and Subhannah Wahhaj, 35 - were also arrested at the compound.

'Poking their noses where they don't belong': Twitter monitors users off-platform behavior when banning 'hate-mongers'

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said that the company reviews real world activity when dealing with accounts of racists and hate-mongers. Some users were chilled by the prospect of being monitored offline, while others plain confused.

"We look at off-platform behavior as well. At things that aren't just happening on Twitter, but happening on other platforms or in the real world," Dorsey told political commentator and TV host Sean Hannity on his radio show on Wednesday.

Some users caught an Orwellian vibe to the policy and suggested it's unacceptable for a social media platform to poke its nose in what they're doing when not logged on.

Syrian First Lady Asma Assad has addressed the public a day after revealing she is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, saying she shares the same resilience as her compatriots who have endured the hardships of war.

"I belong to the [Syrian] people who've taught the world the endurance, the strength and facing the odds," said Asma's statement in Arabic, released by the Syrian presidency. The mother of three said she's been empowered by the "determination and strength" of the Syrian people which has only grown in the recent years.

The Syrian presidency announced Wednesday that the 42 year old had a malignant breast tumor. The post was accompanied by a photo of Asma and her husband, Syrian President Bashar Assad, sitting at a Damascus hospital.

Comment: We wish Syria's First Lady a speedy and complete recovery. Read more about this amazing woman who is much loved and respected by the Syrian people:

Ridiculous! New York health dept shuts down 7-year-old's unlicensed lemonade stand

As 2018's summer of snitches continues, a story out of New York shows just how well the see something say something propaganda is working on society. Multiple vendors at a state fair in Ballston Spa, New York called government officials last month to have a nearby lemonade stand-run by a 7-year-old boy-shut down.

As TFTP reported in June, the Country Time lemonade company launched a campaign pledging to pay fines and permit fees for young entrepreneurs who are reprimanded by the police state for their harmless refreshment stands.

The story below proves why that campaign was so desperately needed.

The vendors who called the state Department of Health were either completely brainwashed by the state into thinking the boy was committing a crime, or they-like so many other corporate welfare leeches do-were using the state to shut down their competition. Either way, the state did their part.

Two people have been killed and at least four more injured in a shooting in North Philadelphia, after someone reportedly opened fire with a "high-powered" weapon from a mini-van passing by.

"From the evidence out here it appears to be a large caliber weapon, possibly a high powered rifle," Philadelphia Police commissioner Richard Ross said, as cited by NBC Philadelphia.

A total of six people suffered gunshot wounds after at least 11 shots were fired from inside a light-colored minivan on the southeast corner of 12th and Huntingdon streets around 9:50pm.

Two people, a man and woman aged 34 and 32, have died, while at least one of the surviving victims remains in critical condition.

Anti-Semitic crime rise 10% in Germany, mostly perpetrated by neo-Nazi groups

The number of hate crimes committed against Jews in Germany has increased by more than 10 percent, new official figures reveal. This includes recent violent assaults, which are mostly attributed to neo-Nazi groups.

Amid a string of reported assaults on members of the Jewish community, the German left-wing parliamentary party Die Linke demanded police reveal the number of anti-Semitic crimes.

According to the figures released, there were 401 offences between January and June this year, including 12 violent crimes. A majority (349) were at the hands of neo-Nazi and other far-right groups. One in five attacks took place in the German capital Berlin.

It comes amid a recent resurgence of anti-Semitism in the country, as reports emerged over the past few months of Jews being threatened, beaten and bullied because of their background.

Comment: As the societies of the West and those of its allies deteriorate further, it seems crimes against all sections of society are on the rise:

How Chinese tech girl Naomi Wu got royally screwed by Sarah Jeong, Jason Koebler, and Vice Magazine

Naomi 'SexyCyborg' Wu

Me in better times, excited by some new fiber optic cables.

Translator and proofreader's note: There are large parts of this document that don't parse well either from Chinese or from Naomi's written English into more fluent English. In trying to do so, some of the emotion that Naomi is trying to convey would be lost. I've left those passages as originally written in her own English because there was simply no way to clean them up without losing her intent.

Part 1 : Vice

I'm Naomi Wu a DIY and tech enthusiast in Shenzhen, China. Nine months ago Vice Magazine contacted me for an interview. A lot has been written about that, very little by me.

I've avoided writing about my experience with Sarah Jeong, Jason Koebler, and Vice Magazine in detail because I can't explain the whole story the way I want to. I can't really blame anyone who is unfamiliar with China's issues, who might say "Naomi, I don't see what's the big deal" or think I'm nuts, or who may've otherwise been unable to connect the few dots that I've provided. I'm sorry for being vague about my full side of it, but one day I'll be able to write every detail and things will be clearer. In the meantime, this is what I can write, and again, I'm very sorry it's so incomplete.

Comment: Again and again, Vice Magazine proves themselves to be complete amateurs playing at being real journalists. They don't practice journalism, they smear. Witness their interview with Jordan Peterson for a good indication of how Vice practices "journalism". They're lower than BuzzFeed. That Sarah Jeong came in to throw her weight behind Vice's position is also unsurprising.

In historic vote, Italy dumps mandatory vaccination

League leader Matteo Salvini called required vaccines "useless" and said they were "in many cases dangerous, if not harmful".

Now, they won't be required.

By a vote of 148 to 110 in the upper house of parliament, Italy has squashed mandatory vaccine laws and aims to be "more inclusive."

The 10 required vaccinations for preschools or nurseries are now suspended, at least in terms of mandatory laws.

Comment: Nice to see Italy acting with some sense. Regardless of how you feel about vaccines, the idea that any medical procedure should be mandatory is essentially medical fascism. People should have the right to choose the medical procedures that are best for themselves and their families.
