Humanity doomed: Body mod fans drilling holes in their heads to expand their minds

Getting a tattoo is a big deal for some - but the current generation of young people are looking to push the boundaries of body modification in ways barely imaginable.

Trepanning, the act of drilling a hole into your skull and allowing it to heal over, is one trend starting to gain more traction on the underground body mod scene.

Body mod expert and the man responsible for promoting the "Bagelhead" movement, Ryoichi Keroppy Maeda, gave Daily Star Online his take on the strange phenomenon.

The process dates back more than 8,000 years, but could still be a bridge too far for extreme modding, he said.

Comment: Is there any more evidence needed that humanity is losing its collective minds (figuratively and literally)? The constant competition and one-upmanship obviously present in this subculture is leading to extreme and dangerous territory. If people want to do this to themselves, they're welcome to it - we'll just sit on the sidelines and call them sick and crazy.

ZDF journalist shocks German MSM by reporting that Douma incident was false-flag attack

Uli Gack, a reporter with the German ZDF, drops a truth bomb

The alleged chemical attack in the Syrian city of Douma was staged by local militants, who tried to frame it as a Syrian Army strike, a German TV correspondent, who travelled to Damascus, has said publicly, citing local witnesses.

"People told us in a very convincing manner that this whole story was staged," Uli Gack, a reporter with the German ZDF public broadcaster, said (referring to the alleged Douma chemical attack) while he spoke live on ZDF Heute ('Today') show on Satuday.

Gack had travelled to Syria and visited one of the refugee camps near Damascus, where "some 20,000 people from Eastern Ghouta and particularly from Douma" were living.

The scene of the attack, which allegedly took place on April 7, was in fact the "command post" of a local Islamist group, the reporter said, citing the witnesses he was able to speak to at the refugee camp.

England tries to extend MI5 and police powers, will target those 'vulnerable to radicalization'

Sun, 22 Apr 2018 20:26 UTC

UK police and domestic intelligence agency MI5 will get new powers to round up suspected terrorists before they strike, including targeting radicalization-prone communities, as terror threats grow, according to a media report.

The plan calls for a focus on "communities where the threat from terrorism and radicalization is highest," according to documents obtained by the Sunday Times.

The police services and domestic intelligence agency MI5 will be focusing on individuals "who are vulnerable to radicalization or who are (or have been) of interest to the police and the security and intelligence agencies due to their possible links to terrorist activities, but who are not currently the subject of any active investigations," the document outlines.

Comment: Needless to say, if MI5 didn't abet so much of the terror we have seen in the UK and elsewhere, there wouldn't now be a call to grant them more powers - which will likely soon be used against anyone who speaks out against the criminal acts of the UK government.

IDF violence against Palestinians in Gaza continues into 4th week

Demonstrations and protests are fundamental rights. Israel lawlessly considers them incitement and terrorism.

For the fourth straight Great March of Return Friday, Israeli soldiers initiated violence, including live fire, against thousands of defenseless Gazans demonstrating for their rights near the border fence.

According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, four Gazans were killed, another 729 injured, many from live fire, including 41, children, 12 women and one journalist.

Mohammad Ibrahim Ayyoub, aged-15, died from an exploding dum dum bullet to the head. Three others died from live fire wounds to the head and/or the neck.

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) said "(f)or the fourth week in a row and upon a decision by the Israeli highest military and political echelons, the Israeli forces used lethal force against the peaceful protesters, who did not pose any threat to the soldiers' lives."

Since Good Friday, nearly 40 Gazans were lethally shot, thousands of others injured, (including 22 journalists and 9 paramedics), hundreds from live fire - the world community doing nothing to stop the carnage, nothing to hold Israel accountable for atrocities too grave to ignore.

Comment: So while the US/Israel screams 'bloody murder' at Assad and bombs Syria, the Israelis terrorize those in Gaza and no one bats an eye. See also:

Toronto chef refuses to display vegan slogan, so protesters attempt to shine it on restaurant with projector

We're not going to - there's no way,' chef and owner Michael Hunter said. 'It's like eco-terrorism, extortion, whatever you want to call it'

Joe Rogan - Michael Hunter vs Vegan Activists

A Toronto chef facing another bout of vegan protests outside his west-end restaurant this week has been offered a way out: display an animal rights slogan in the restaurant's street-front window and the protests will stop.

The slogan reads "Animals' lives are their right. In their desire to live and capacity to suffer, a dog, is a pig, is a chicken, is a human. Reject speciesism."

Muslim woman denied citizenship in France for refusing official's handshake

A French court has confirmed and upheld a previous court ruling which denied French citizenship to a Muslim Algerian woman after the woman refused to engage in a handshake with a senior official.

The origins of the case date back to 2010 when the Algerian woman married a French citizen in her home country of Algeria, and after four years made a request to authorities for French citizenship, La Croix reports.

The prefecture of Isere, where the woman lives, initially accepted her request to become a French citizen and in 2016 she was to attend a citizenship ceremony but during the ceremony, she refused to shake the hands of officials for "religious reasons."

Comment: Tough call. Seems like a pretty lame reason to be refusing someone citizenship. But at the same time, it also seems like the Muslim woman could have played the game, so to speak, and drop her orthodoxy temporarily to get what she was after. Considering the French are insistent on new citizens having a certain degree of assimilation, and that refusing a handshake is seen as insulting in the West, it seems like one would need to be willing to let certain customs slide in order to get in the door.

Thousands of people in Louisiana have been in jail for over a year and never been to trial

The Louisiana Sheriff's Association admitted that thousands of inmates have been sitting in jail, awaiting a trial for more than a year.

Nearly half a million Americans are currently being held in jail while they are denied their constitutional rights to a speedy trial. The problem has become so pervasive that many critics of the American judicial system are up in arms over the phenomenon. In Louisiana alone, there are over 2,000 people who have been languishing in jail for more than a year, all waiting for the chance to prove their innocence.

The Louisiana Sheriff's Association was forced to clarify just how bad the problem is after its executive director, Mike Ranatza, overstated the number during a recent testimony on the issue. He clarified by breaking down the total number, and noting that of those 2,181 people:

1,507 had been held between one and two years without a trial
448 had been held between two and three years without a trial
141 had been held between three and four years without a trial
85 people had been held more than four years without a trial.

Comment: This system is really, really broken. That the horrors of prison are being visited upon individuals who have not been found to be guilty of anything is, in itself, criminal.

Moon of Alabama: Documenting the mainstream media war on honest reporting and legitimate opinions

Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various 'party lines'.

-- George Orwell, Looking back on the Spanish War, Chapter 4

Last week saw an extreme intensifying of the warmongers' campaign against individuals who publicly hold and defend a different view than the powers-that-be want to promote. The campaign has a longer history but recently turned personal. It now endangers the life and livelihood of real people.

In fall 2016 a smear campaign was launched against 200 websites which did not confirm to NATO propaganda. Prominent sites like Naked Capitalism were among them as well as this site:

This website, MoonofAlabama.org, is now listed as "Russian propaganda outlet" by some neoconned, NATO aligned, anonymous "Friendly Neighborhood Propaganda Identification Service" prominently promoted by today's Washington Post. The minions running that censorship list also watch over our "Russian propaganda" Twitter account @MoonofA.

While the ProPornOT campaign was against websites the next and larger attack was a general defaming of specific content.

Man shoots up Nashville waffle House - 4 dead, manhunt underway for suspect

Sun, 22 Apr 2018 18:43 UTC

Scene of the shooting in Nashville

Travis Reinking, 29, the main suspect in the Waffle House mass shooting in Nashville, was previously arrested and interviewed by both the FBI and the Secret Service after he stormed the White House lawn in 2017.

Police investigating Sunday morning's shooting believe that Reinking had suffered from mental health issues and have warned that they suspect he is still armed and thus extremely dangerous.

A naked man matching Reinking's description was spotted in the woods near the restaurant in the aftermath of the shooting, in which the death toll could have been far higher, were it not for an unnamed 29-year-old man who snatched the AR-15 style rifle out of the gunman's hands.

Kuala Lumpur: Israel's Mossad accused of assassinating Palestinian rocket scientist

The family of a Palestinian lecturer, allegedly linked to a Hamas drone and rocket program, has accused Mossad of his murder in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysian authorities have also hinted at potential involvement of foreign intelligence.

The Palestinian, identified as Fadi Mohammad al-Batsh, was assassinated in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur on Saturday. Two suspects had awaited the victim for some 20 minutes and then gunned him down, fleeing the scene on a motorcycle, according to local police.

"The suspect fired 10 shots, four of which hit the lecturer in the head and body. He died on the spot. The police also found two empty bullet shells there," Kuala Lumpur Police chief Mazlan Lazim told reporters.

Al-Batsh, a 35-year-old lecturer with a private university, reportedly served as an imam at a local surau, a smaller Malaysian variant of a mosque. The police chief said the investigators would look into all possible theories on the events, including the potential involvement of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorists. While the identity of the perpetrators is still unknown, they are believed to be Caucasian, according to the Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

"The lecturer, a permanent resident of this country, is believed to have become a liability for a country hostile to Palestine," the official said, suggesting that foreign intelligence might have been involved in the murder.
