The father of Quinn Schansman, the only American citizen to die in the 2014 shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine, has asked Secretary of State John Kerry to release the U.S. data that Kerry cited in claiming precise knowledge of where the suspected anti-aircraft missile was fired.

One of the mysteries of the MH-17 case has become why the United States - after asserting that it possessed information implicating ethnic Russian rebels and the Russian government - has failed to make the data public or apparently even share it with Dutch investigators who are leading the inquiry into how the plane was shot down and who was responsible.

Quinn Schansman, who had dual U.S.-Dutch citizenship, boarded MH-17 along with 297 other people for a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on July 17, 2014. The 19-year-old was planning to join his family for a vacation in Malaysia.

In a letter to Kerry dated Jan. 5, 2016, Thomas J. Schansman, Quinn's father, noted Kerry's remarks at a press conference on Aug. 12, 2014, when the Secretary of State said about the Buk anti-aircraft missile suspected of downing the plane: "We saw the take-off. We saw the trajectory. We saw the hit. We saw this aeroplane disappear from the radar screens. So there is really no mystery about where it came from and where these weapons have come from."

DRUDGE 2016 election poll: Bush trailing Clinton at very bottom because no one wants to see either of these two become President!

2016 Election
Right now, Matt Drudge of Drudge Report is running an unofficial presidential poll on his site.

At the time this screen cap was taken, over 41,000 votes were cast and Donald Trump was, by far, in the lead.

But what's more interesting is where Jeb Bush is.

Considering Drudge is a conservative, it's not that much of a surprise to find Hillary at the bottom of the poll. What is funny, however, is that Jeb has even fewer votes than Hillary.

Because America would rather rake itself naked over a cactus than have either of these two as "Commander in Chief".

Gynnya McMillen was her name. She was 16 years old, she was probably assaulted on the night of January 10th, and found 'unresponsive' early morning on the 11th. She was being held in Elizabethtown, Kentucky - the county seat of Hardin County - at the ominous sounding Lincoln Village Regional Juvenile Detention Center, on charges of fourth degree assault after getting into a fight with a parent.

The Lincoln Village Regional Juvenile Detention Center is one of nine... "secure Regional Juvenile Detention Centers that provide secure detention to all counties in Kentucky. The Detention Centers provide programs with a wide range of services including: education, counseling, acute medical and mental health care, behavior management, observation and assessment, as well as continuous supervision. Lincoln Village RJDC is a 44-bed facility and serves youths ages 11 to 18 over a 13 county area."

That came from this job application... and if that's not creepy enough, they're looking for a registered nurse. Top of the list of his/her duties?

Idahoan teen murders father and autistic brother 'training' for zombie apocolypse

The father of Coeur d'Alene teenager Eldon Samuel III showed the boy how to use weapons from a young age and also trained him to prepare for a "zombie apocalypse," Samuel's mother said in court Wednesday.

Samuel's public defender asked Tina Samuel to explain what her husband trained her son to do to zombies. "To shoot them in the head and chop off their head," she testified. "That's the only way to kill a zombie."

Eldon Samuel, 16, is on trial for murder in the March 2014 killing of his father and his 13-year-old brother. The Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney's office concluded its case Tuesday, and lawyers for Samuel began calling their witnesses from a list of more than 200 names.

Tina Samuel spoke of her relationship with the boy's father, Eldon Samuel Jr., as well as his habits and demeanor when the family lived together in the Modesto, California, area. She said JR, as she called her husband, was high on prescription medication much of the time, and she admitted she was as well, "off and on."

JR also often played violent video games, she said. "It would be zombie video games - just killing zombies," she said. He also played "Call of Duty," a first-person shooter game, she recalled. JR began playing these games with his son Eldon when the boy was as young as 4 or 5, Tina Samuel said.

The family moved frequently, usually because of eviction. "JR wouldn't pay the rent and bills," she said. JR worked part of the time as a mechanic and had injured himself at work a couple of times. He began taking medication for a shoulder injury and never stopped, she said.

"He was moody. He was high a lot, controlling, physically and mentally abusive," Tina Samuel testified, adding that the behavior grew worse over time. JR owned a 9 mm handgun, which he kept tucked in the back of his waistband, she said. The family sometimes went camping in a trailer in secluded spots high in the California mountains, she testified. JR would bring guns and knives on those trips and show his boys how to use the weapons, including cutting the head and tail off a rattlesnake, she said.

© Submitted by familyNoah Chamberlin's body was found Thursday in Tennessee. He had been missing for a week.
The halls of Pinson Baptist Church filled with the sound of an old hymn 30 minutes after Chester County Sheriff Blair Weaver tearfully announced Thursday that the body of 2-year-old Noah Chamberlin had been found.

John Gaters, pastor of the church, played Carry Me on the piano while his wife Angela watched.

The words were comforting, Gaters said. "Through the storm keep me safe, through the tears and all my shame, carry me."

After seven days of searching, authorities found Noah's body about a mile and a half to two miles from where he went missing. His body was found between 1 and 4 p.m. in a small clearing. The announcement was made at Pinson Baptist Church, where news conferences had been held during the search. The church was also headquarters for volunteer efforts.

Andy Morris, pastor of The Highlands in Chester County, said Noah's family wants him to be remembered as a boy who brought a community together.

"And they're asking right now that they have time to mourn and to love on each other as they go through this time of loss," Morris said. "But at the same [time], they beg you to continue to pray and continue to keep this heart of service and heart of compassion for other people and other humans.

Comment: Our condolences to the family!

Guantanamo detainee held for 13 years on mistaken identity cleared for release

The Pentagon has approved the release of a prisoner who was held at the Guantanamo Bay facility for 13 years due a case of mistaken identity.

Mustafa al Shamiri, 37, had been detained under the pretenses of being a senior Al-Qaeda trainer in Afghanistan.

The so-called Periodic Review Board (PRB), however, came to a much different conclusion on December 1 when they heard his case. The board found that "most of the derogatory prior assessments ... have been discredited and the current information shows that the detainee has low level military capability," according to The Washington Post.

Shamiri, who is only in fact a "run-of-the-mill jihadist," was linked to the more high-profile activities of other extremists because of their similar names, and spent 13 years in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

Federal Bureau of Islamophobia: ISIS suspect's lawyer says 'Feds framed my client'

Virginia resident accused of backing ISIS
The attorney for one Virginia resident accused of backing ISIS says the plot was manufactured by three government informants. He claims federal agents are targeting Muslim Americans for fake terror plots, so they could take credit for stopping them.

"They had three informants in this case that were looking for people to get in trouble," Ashraf Nubani told reporters on Tuesday, after the preliminary court hearing for Mahmoud Amin Mohamed Elhassan, arrested Friday on charges of aiding and abetting terrorism.

Elhassan, 25, is a US permanent resident of Sudanese origin. The government charges him of aiding Joseph Hassan Farrokh, 28, who allegedly wanted to join Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL). The federal complaint against the men says that Farrokh planned to travel via Richmond International Airport, to Jordan and then to Syria.

Comment: The FBI is a one-trick pony. Can't find Islamic terrorists to drum up the hysteria and increase Islamophobia? The answer is simple: manufacture it. Not a week goes by, it seems, that we do not see a similar story.

Yemenis fear for their lives, afraid to visit hospitals due to constant bombing by Saudi-led coalition

The constant bombing of health facilities in Yemen has created conditions in which the locals fear for their lives and try to avoids hospitals at all costs, MSF said, noting that over 100 facilities have witnessed attacks ever since the Saudi-led intervention. A week after a missile hit the Shiara hospital in Yemen, killing six and injuring seven people, Yemenis are trying to visiting medical facilities only in acute cases of emergency, as being present inside any medical facility is seen by the locals as an imminent threat to their lives

"People still consider hospitals a target and try to avoid them as much as possible. The only cases that we are receiving are emergencies and mass casualties following attacks," Juan Prieto, general coordinator of Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) projects in Yemen said.

On January 10, one missile hit the Shiara Hospital, where MSF has been operating since November, 2015. The humanitarian organization said they are unable to say who was responsible for the attack, but mentioned that Saudi-led planes had been seen flying over the facility at the time that the attack took place.

Comment: Nothing typifies the hypocrisy of the United Nations appointment of Saudi Arabia to the 'Human Rights' council more than this monstrous disregard for civilians. What a twisted and demented joke on humanity.

Stephen Hawking warns humanity to leave Earth before the ruling class destroys it

Humanity's future is in peril thanks to so-called advancements in science and technology, claims Professor Stephen Hawking, who cited "nuclear war, global warming, and genetically-modified viruses" as deadly threats to our existence.

Hawking described various "things that could go wrong" to an audience of hundreds attending the first in a series of BBC Reith Lectures, which pertain to research about black holes. He asserted the necessity for colonization of other planets to ensure survival of the human species. According to the BBC, Hawking cautioned:
"Although the chance of a disaster to planet Earth in a given year might be quite low, it adds up over time, and becomes a near certainty in the next thousand or ten thousand years.

"By that time, we should have spread out into space, and to other stars, so a disaster on Earth would not mean the end of the human race.

"However, we will not establish self-sustaining colonies in space for at least the next hundred years, so we have to be very careful in this period."
