Nilotpal Das's father describes the musician as broad-minded and amicable.
Two men have been beaten to death by an angry mob in the Indian state of Assam because of false rumours spread on social media about child kidnapping gangs.

The pair had stopped to ask for directions when they were killed; their deaths filmed by attackers who then shared the gory videos online.

One of the victims, 29-year-old musician Nilotpal Das, can be seen covered in blood and pleading for his life.

Mr Das had travelled extensively through India and was described by his grieving father in Indian media as "broad-minded and amicable".

His friend, 30-year-old Abhijeet Nath, was also killed.

Once again, an abusive police officer is in the news after he was captured on cellphone video bullying and then punching a handcuffed 14-year-old boy in the face. There was no spit, no head butt, and nothing in the video shows the boy doing anything other than complying and talking to provoke the cop into hitting him.

The officer is a Pennsylvania state trooper who is currently enjoying anonymity from the department. He and another trooper were at a residence last week to arrest Preston Weakland, the 14-year-old boy in the video below, for running away.

Austrian troops will carry out exercises preparing the nation's border defence against a migration influx later this month after Balkans police warned 80,000 third-world migrants are heading towards Western Europe.

With up to 1,000 police officers, soldiers, and riot police set to take part in June, the drill will be Austria's largest ever border patrol exercise, according to Kronen Zeitung, Austria's best-selling newspaper.

The announcement came following a security conference in Slovenia at which police chiefs from countries along the Balkans migration routes warned they had seen a significant upsurge in the number of border crossings.

Pro-Brexit donor grilled by UK officials for 'meeting Russian ambassador'

Arron Banks
Arron Banks, a key donor to the Leave.EU Brexit campaign admitted meeting the Russian ambassador in London, only to then brief the US security services on the suggestion of a former chief of staff to David Cameron

Banks was giving evidence to parliament's so called Fake News Committee in a room where the number of likeable people were in short supply. Banks and his business partner Andy Wigmore were fresh on the grill as the backers and brains of Leave.EU, the Nigel Farage backed group which did as much as anyone to win the Brexit referendum for the Eurosceptics.

Their presence comes in the wake of Banks being accused in the Sunday Times of having links to Russia and suggestions he was used by the Kremlin to influence Brexit, but then again most people who sit before this committee are accused of some kind of links to Moscow. It's always the bear in the room.

The latest USDA data reveals that enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-the federal government program that administers food stamps-dropped to 40,083,954 in March 2018.

The last time enrollment in the food stamp program reached that level was February 2010, when 39,588,993 people participated in the nation's food stamp program.

Feminist scholars defend female professor accused of sexual misconduct because victims should only be believed if they are women

Feminist scholars are defending a female professor who is facing a Title IX investigation over alleged sexual misconduct in a reversal of their normal approach of believing victims.

Avital Ronell, a professor of German and comparative literature at New York University, is currently facing a Title IX investigation over alleged sexual misconduct. Astonishingly, feminist professors around the country are arguing that the investigation is unfair.

In a letter addressed to New York University's president that was signed by influential feminists Judith Butler and Slavoj Žižek, the investigation into Ronell's alleged misconduct is essentially referred to as a witch hunt. They claim that the accuser has waged a "malicious campaign" against Ronell.
We have all seen her relationship with students, and some of us know the individual who has waged this malicious campaign against her. We wish to communicate first in the clearest terms our profound an enduring admiration for Professor Ronell whose mentorship of students has been no less than remarkable over many years. We deplore the damage that this legal proceeding causes her, and seek to register in clear terms our objection to any judgment against her. We hold that the allegations against her do not constitute actual evidence, but rather support the view that malicious intention has animated and sustained this legal nightmare.

Comment: Essentially, it's all about unequal treatment based on gender alone.

US collapsing economy: 21.5% unemployment, 10% inflation and negative growth

Every time the mainstream media touts some "wonderful new economic numbers" I just want to cringe. Yes, it is true that the economic numbers have gotten slightly better since Donald Trump entered the White House, but the rosy economic picture that the mainstream media is constantly painting for all of us is completely absurd. As you are about to see, if honest numbers were being used all of our major economic numbers would be absolutely terrible. Of course we can hope for a major economic turnaround for America under Donald Trump, but we certainly are not there yet. Economist John Williams of shadowstats.com has been tracking what our key economic numbers would look like if honest numbers were being used for many years, and he has gained a sterling reputation for being accurate. And according to him, it looks like the U.S. economy has been in a recession and/or depression for a very long time.

Let's start by talking about unemployment. We are being told that the unemployment rate in the United States is currently "3.8 percent", which would be the lowest that it has been "in nearly 50 years".

To support this claim, the mainstream media endlessly runs articles declaring how wonderful everything is. For example, the following is from a recent New York Times article entitled "We Ran Out of Words to Describe How Good the Jobs Numbers Are"...

Comment: No it's not just the US, it seems most of the Western world is at the precipice of another financial collapse: Also check out SOTT radio's:

Putin awards grant to promote family values, students say talks 'changed their outlook'

President Vladimir Putin recently awarded a grant for a project promoting traditional family values among Russian teens and young adults.

The grant was awarded in December, 2017, and the project involved more than 10,000 boys and girls from 102 different schools from the Tyumen region. They listened to talks about family, love, courage, and happiness, and they filled out questionnaires both before and after the talks, providing insight into their thoughts about Russian family life.

The teaching sessions went into detail discussing the importance of traditional marriage, the dangers of premarital sex, the problems with contraception, and the horrors of abortion.

According to the questionnaires, 85% of the youth believe it is unacceptable for people to freely change partners, seeking sex outside marriage with no strings attached. The majority said that intimate relations are only permissible when there are long-term stable relations between partners. More than a third of respondents held to fully traditional values on this point, with 34% stating that sex is permissible "only after the wedding".

Comment: Conversely, the feminist movement in the west has worked well to destroy traditional family values.

US House approves ban on child sex robots favored by pedophiles

The U.S. House approved a ban Wednesday on the importation and trafficking of anatomically correct child sex dolls and robots that "normalize sex between adults and minors."

The proposal was approved in the House by a voice vote and now moves to the Senate.

"These dolls can be programmed to simulate rape. The very thought makes me nauseous," said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican.

Child sex dolls are one niche of a nascent robotic sex industry that has generated debate about the ethics of the use of lifelike machines for sexual activity. It is a subject that turns from squeamish to outright revulsion for many when it touches on child sex dolls and robots.

"Once an abuser tires of practicing on a doll, it's a small step to move on to a child. My bill takes necessary steps to stop these sickening dolls from reaching our communities," said Rep. Dan Donovan, a New York Republican who sponsored the legislation.

Comment: What a crazy world we live in, in which the words "child", "sex" and "robot" are spoken in the same phrase.

Germans rethinking immigration policies after rape and murder of 14-year-old girl

Germans are reportedly asking their government to reconsider its lax immigration policies in light of the brutal rape and murder of a 14 year old girl named Susanna Maria Feldman, according to The New York Times.

Feldman disappeared in May without a trace; the only clue to where she might have gone was a text message sent to her parents that read, "Don't look for me. I come in 2 or 3 weeks." Susanna's body was found a short time later, "buried in brushwood, in a secluded area, near the railroad tracks," not far from a refugee camp, with signs that she'd been raped and then strangled.

"The murder suspect, identified as Ali Bashar, a 20-year-old Iraqi, arrived in Germany in October 2015, shortly after Ms. Merkel opened the borders to hundreds of thousands of migrants," the NYT reports. "He was rejected in late 2016, but was allowed to stay in the country while his appeal was pending."

Comment: It seems that Germans are beginning to wake up to the fact that the extremely liberal open immigration policy is not serving them in any way and is actually doing harm.
