Censorship: YouTube bans firearm videos & begins suspending accounts

Gun rights activists, bloggers and second amendment advocates are outraged at YouTube's ban on videos and channels which promote websites that sell firearms and accessories. And some believe Pornhub is the solution.

Online gun vlogger InRangeTv has already begun migrating their videos to Pornhub. The group referred to YouTube's rule changes as "vague" and "one-sided."

"PornHub has a history of being a proactive voice in the online community, as well as operating a resilient and robust video streaming platform," InRangeTv wrote in an online statement. RT.com has also contacted PornHub regarding InRange TV's decision to migrate to the platform.

Comment: Caitlin Johnstone summed up this wave of censorship quite well in a recent article:

When you tell an establishment Democrat that Google's hiding and removal of content is a dangerous form of censorship, they often magically transform into Ayn Rand right before your eyes.

"It's a private company and they can do what they like with their property," they will tell you. "It's insane to say that a private company regulating its own affairs is the same as government censorship!"

This is absurd on its surface, because Google is not separate from the government in any meaningful way. [...]

Google is not any more separable from the US government than Lockheed Martin or Raytheon are, yet it has been given an unprecedented degree of authority over human speech and the way people communicate and share information. Would you feel comfortable allowing Northrop Grumman or Boeing to determine what political speech is permissible and giving them the authority to remove political Youtube content and hide leftist and anti-establishment outlets from visibility like Google does?

During the final stage of an online vote to select the names of new Russian military hardware, Russia's Defense Ministry website suffered a massive DDoS attack, with all hacking attempts repelled by cyber security services.

"Attempts to attack the website were performed from the territory of Western Europe - the country is established, the North American continent and Ukraine," the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

There was a total of seven attacks during the final day of voting on Thursday, with two of the most intensive of them coming in the closing hours. "The DDoS attacks were neutralized by the cyber security services of the Defense Ministry," the statement read.

Russian MoD: More than 5,000 civilians leave Eastern Ghouta as militants begin withdrawal

Over 5,000 civilians have left Eastern Ghouta through humanitarian corridors on Thursday, Russia's Defense Ministry said. The militants also reportedly began withdrawing from the area, as part of a deal with the Syrian government.

"Starting from the early hours of March 22, more than 5000 civilians have come out through the checkpoints in Eastern Ghouta," Russia's Reconciliation Center in Syria said, adding that the evacuation of the population from the terrorist-held areas continues. Those fleeing the Damascus suburb, which recently became the new hotspot of the Syrian conflict, were provided with hot food, water and sleeping accessories by the Russian troops, it added.

Earlier, the Reconciliation Center head, Major-General Yuri Yevtushenko, said that a total of 86,000 people have used the Russia-brokered humanitarian corridors to leave the besieged Eastern Ghouta since late February.

US intelligence community members participating in survivalist 'doomsday camps' around Washington, DC

Each camp is expected to house 50-500 in a crisis and Miller said they will have lodges, underground bunkers and guard towers.

A building network of backwoods doomsday camps around the country are pulling in members from affluent areas and even Washington national security officials as the threats grow from nuclear war, an EMP or virus attack.

Called Fortitude Ranch, the outposts promise protection and a year's supply of food for those unable to build their own bunker. What's more, until a crisis strikes, they are being used for prepper training and vacations.

"We're seeing members from all the three letter agencies," said Fortitude creator Drew Miller, a retired Air Force colonel and intelligence officer, in a reference to the Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Poll: American public troubled by 'Deep State' (even though they don't know what it means)

Although most Americans are unfamiliar with the term 'Deep State,' according to recent polling they are nevertheless skeptical of unelected government and military officials who secretly manipulate or direct national policy

"Public Troubled by Deep State" is the headline that the Monmouth University Polling Institute tags to its recent poll. Acknowledging that polling about the term "Deep State" is problematic because "few Americans (13%) are very familiar with the term 'Deep State,'" the pollsters at Monmouth defined the term as follows for their interviewees: "The term Deep State refers to the possible existence of a group of unelected government and military officials who secretly manipulate or direct national policy."

Then they asked whether such a group exists.

Comment: The Deep State is a very real thing, and even if the American people have never heard the term, they clearly have an idea that it exists. So why aren't there riots in the street?

Memo to the West: The Russian peoples' support for Putin is authentic and genuine

If the result of the 2018 Russian election proves anything it is that on the back of Vladimir Putin's landslide victory it is no longer tenable for Western governments to claim that their argument is with the Russian government and not the Russian people.

Putin's popularity is genuine and authentic, regardless of the anticipated and entirely predictable attempt to pour scorn on the election and its result by those for whom Russia can only be conceived of as a vanquished enemy or a deadly enemy that needs to be vanquished. No democratic system is perfect, neither Russia's, the UK's, or that which underpins the United States - indeed, perhaps especially that which underpins the United States.

Whereas in 2012 he took 63.6% of the vote on a 65.25% turnout, this time round, Putin garnered 76.68% of the vote on turnout of over 67%.

No matter, commentators in the UK, consumed with anti-Russia fever over the Skripal case, have without any hint of irony made great play of the fact that the result means that Vladimir Putin is now the longest serving Russian head of state since Joseph Stalin.

Justin Johnson, 36, and his Miccosukee girlfriend, Rebecca Sanders, 28, display pictures of newborn Ingrid Ronan Johnson

A smiling baby with a thick head of black hair, Ingrid Ronan Johnson was born to a Miccosukee mother and a white father, inside Baptist Hospital in Kendall.

Two days later, police detectives arrived at the hospital acting on a court order to remove the baby from the new parents.

The order was not signed by a Florida judge, but by a tribal court judge on a reservation 32 miles away in the heart of the Everglades. The cops were from the Miccosukee police force, a department whose jurisdiction covers mainly the reservation and properties owned by the tribe.

The hospital on Sunday allowed the baby to be taken away.

Walkout fallout: School districts hit with backlash over using kids for political activism

Students at Roosevelt High School take part in a protest against gun violence Wednesday, March 14, 2018, in Seattle. Politicians in Washington state are joining students who walked out of class to protest against gun violence. It was part of a nationwide school walkout that calls for stricter gun laws following the massacre of 17 people at a Florida high school.

The gun control movement notched a public relations coup with last week's massive school walkouts, but now school districts that pitched in to ensure the protest's success are stuck with the rising political and legal fallout.

A week after the March 14 walkout, school officials are grappling with complaints from parents outraged by the specter of their kids engaged in political protesting on school time, as well as reports of criminal mischief committed by teens who treated the event as a get-out-of-class-free card.

What's more, the students get to do it all again next month. A substantially identical event, also called the National School Walkout, is scheduled for April 20, the 19th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre.

Comment: Using kids for partisan political activism. It doesn't get much lower than that.

More than a quarter of all Muslims currently in prison have been incarcerated because of drug offences, compared to 13 per cent of all non-Muslim prisoners

'This increasing Muslim prison population is a symptom of a broken justice system and a gang problem that is rapidly getting worse,' says Dr Mohammed Qasim

An alarming surge in the number of Muslims being jailed for drug offences has prompted accusations that the Government is failing to deal with growing social problems in Britain's impoverished Islamic communities.

The number of Muslims in prison for drug offences in England and Wales has jumped by 63 per cent over seven years, rising from 2,089 in 2010 to 3,406 in 2017, according to figures obtained by The Independent using Freedom of Information laws.

Over the same period, the number of non-Muslims in prison for drug offences has declined by more than ten per cent.

More than a quarter of all Muslims currently in prison have been incarcerated because of drug offences, compared to 13 per cent of all non-Muslim prisoners.

Comment: It is notable the offences are related to making money from selling drugs and not violent crimes, which is actually on the increase in the UK

Gaddafi's son, Saif Al-Islam, can unite Libyans in the national interest - Saif's lawyer tells RT

Muammar Gaddafi's son, Saif Al-Islam, who plans to run in the presidential election this year, is widely supported by ordinary people hoping to rescue Libya from the chaos caused by the NATO-backed revolt, his lawyer told RT.

While it is not yet certain when Libya will vote in a presidential election, due to varying interpretations of the electoral process by the power-seeking factions of the country, Saif Al Islam Gaddafi, son of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, announced on Monday his bid to run in the race as a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Libya (PFLL). His candidacy bid was confirmed to RT by his lawyer, Khaled Al-Ghwail, who believes that his client has a good chance of winning.

"Saif Al-Islam has many supporters. They are ordinary people. Even those who have previously committed to the [Arab Spring] cause now support the comprehensive vision of Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi,"Al-Ghwail told RT.

"Saif Al-Islam is capable of uniting Libyans around himself on the basis of national interests and those decisions that the Libyans themselves will take," Al-Ghwail added. "This is a reform project, which should lead Libya into a calm harbor."
