At least 10 people were injured in the Swedish city of Malmö after local police unleashed a mounted charge at participants of a rally against Sweden's neo-Nazi party. Clashes with police erupted as anti-fascist activists attempted to block a rival rally.

Around 1,500 people on Saturday gathered at the Limhamn square in the center of Malmö to protest the planned speech by Stefan Jacobsson, the leader of the neo-Nazi Svenskarnas Parti (The Swedes' Party).

The tension mounted even ahead of Jacobsson's appearance, with demonstrators throwing fire crackers and smoke bombs, the Local reports.

Comment: In a world ruled by psychopaths, the normal people are seen as the enemy. That is true everywhere.

Economist says Eurozone austerity policies are stunningly destructive and dismal failure

snimok edrana
Stunningly destructive" and "dismal failure" is how Nobel laureates describe growth in the European Union after destructive austerity policies and the euro crisis.

Economists are casting doubt on the effectiveness of monetary policy in the 18-member eurozone, which is yet to fully shake off recession and produce sustained growth.

Data from earlier this month shows that economies have broken down, and growth has come to a standstill. The three largest economies- Germany, France, and Italy- all failed to grow.

Nobel laureate and Princeton University economist Christopher Sims warns that the euro countries hit worst by the crisis may be looking for an exit from the failed currency experiment.

"If I were advising Greece, Portugal, and Spain, I would tell them to prepare contingency plans to leave the euro," the 2011 Nobel Prize winner said.

Comment: Even before the sanctions imposed on Russia, the euro-zone economies were devastated by failed economic policies. The EU countries were warned against adding fuel to the fire by imposing sanctions, yet they cow-towed to the US, and their impoverished citizens are now paying the the price.

Food insecurity US: Thousands of poor and elderly wait in line for food in Miami under scorching sun

More than a thousand locals lined up Friday morning for several hours under the scorching sun and heat in Miami for a box full of food.

The event located at the Central Shopping Plaza at 3825 NW 7th Street started at 9:00 a.m.

Participants got a box of free vegetables, meats and bread worth $100 until 12:00 p.m. - or until supplies lasted.

Those who didn't want to stand in line could wait in their car for the drive-thru portion of the event.

Brittany Payne, a mother of three, stood in line for hours with her baby boy.

"It's something I have to do to feed my kids," said Payne.

Payne joined Miami residents lined up under the scorching sun and heat.

"It's a blessing because if it wasn't for them I couldn't eat today," said Payne.

Comment: Sadly, this is not an unusual day for many people in the US. Poverty levels have skyrocketed, putting the most vulnerable at risk, and many food banks run out of food regularly. What kind of country allows its people to go hungry, while finding billions to fund global wars of terror causing an ever escalating spiral of devastation and poverty?

Ramping up the fear: Ex-Homeland Security adviser says ISIS may have crossed US border

Image
Joshua Katz, an Army veteran and former CIA operations officer who served as Senior Policy Advisor to the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee said it is "very, very, true" that ISIS may have crossed the southern border.

Katz reported that Gov. Rick Perry's (R-TX) recent comments that it was a "very real possibility" that ISIS had already crossed the southern border were "very, very true" on Friday's "Fox and Friends" on the Fox News Channel.

"ISIS is a group that will do whatever it takes in order to accomplish its goals. It's very brutal. It's very aggressive. They're going to do anything, and if that means working with cartels, if that means working with other enlisted groups in order to attack the homeland, they will do that. Other groups like Al Qaeda, or other terrorist groups who have a desire to hit the homeland will also use that ... we have this sort of this double front aggression toward American borders" he added.

Comment: The PTB keep the terror threats coming, just like Osama bin Underthebed: be VERY VERY afraid and remember why you need US!

TSA admits allowing illegal aliens to enter U.S. using easily reproducible forms of ID

A new letter from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) admits that illegal aliens were being allowed to board planes using Notice to Appear forms they received after entering the U.S. illegally. The revelation directly contradicts a TSA statement last month denying such allegations to various media outlets, including Breitbart News. In July Breitbart Texas Managing Director Brandon Darby broke the news that the TSA was letting illegal aliens board planes using Notice to Appear forms; subsequently, a TSA spokesperson publicly attacked Darby on Twitter, insisting that his report was "completely wrong."

The newly-surfaced TSA letter was penned on August 7, according to the Gateway Pundit. It was reportedly sent from the TSA to Rep. Kenny Marchant (R-TX), a member of the Border Security Caucus. The letter confirms that illegal aliens are being allowed to board planes using a Notice to Appear form (also known as I-862), as Darby revealed in July

Comment: The Obama administration is allowing unprecedented access to the US to millions of immigrants when the economic system can barely support the current population. Most of these people are fleeing horrific conditions generally due to the covert or not-so-covert U.S. involvement in the finances and internal policies of their home countries. They are desperately seeking a better life, but unfortunately, they may ultimately find themselves being exploited as the psychopathic elites have no long-term intentions to assist them.

Missing the point: Why is Obama encouraging illegal immigration when we can't care for millions of our own citizens?

Are a majority of Americans without conscience? Cash raised for Ferguson cop who killed Mike Brown surpasses donation for the victim

Image
Michael Brown was summarily executed, just one more of thousands since 9/11
Online fundraisers for Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson surpassed the amount of money raised for Michael Brown's family as Wilson supporters gathered in an afternoon rally.

Supporters of Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., gathered Saturday at Barney's Sports Pub in south St. Louis.

"Many of us have received death threats toward ourselves and our families," the speaker said, wearing sunglasses, paint beneath her eyes and a baseball cap. "We will not hide. We will no longer live in fear ... If you support Darren Wilson, make your voices heard."

She refused to give the media her name, saying "You want my name? I am Darren Wilson. We are Darren Wilson."

Comment: What do we have here? Cops AGAIN murdering someone in broad daylight. And Americans give more support to the killer than to the victim? What world do we live in?

If Nature decides that humanity is a failed experiment and takes action to correct that, well...

We are being made stupid: IQ scores are decreasing

Image
© Mail Online/University of HartfordEvidence suggests the IQs of people in the UK, Denmark and Australia have declined in the last decade. A study by the University of Hartford claims the larger the global population becomes, the less intelligent we will be, dropping by around eight IQ points by the year 2110 - and other estimates are even more pessimistic

Technology may be getting smarter, but humans are getting dumber, scientists have warned. Evidence suggests that the IQs of people in the UK, Denmark and Australia have declined in the last decade. Opinion is divided as to whether the trend is long-term, but some researchers believe that humans have already reached intellectual peak.

An IQ test used to determine whether Danish men are fit to serve in the military has revealed scores have fallen by 1.5 points since 1998. And standard tests issued in the UK and Australia echo the results, according to journalist Bob Holmes, writing in New Scientist.

The most pessimistic explanation as to why humans seem to be becoming less intelligent is that we have effectively reached our intellectual peak. Between the 1930s and 1980s, the average IQ score in the US rose by three points and in post-war Japan and Denmark, test scores also increased significantly - a trend known as the "Flynn effect".

Comment: Apart from being dumbed down by schooling there are lots of other factors at play. Pollution, vaccines, GMO's, junk food, a diet without healthy animal fats and meat/protein, stress, trauma, lack of meaningful interaction between children and adults, the erosion of community, mind-dumbing media...

UN Human rights chief: Hundreds of thousands lives could have been saved, Security Council negligent

UN Human Rights chief Navi Pillay fired a parting shot at the UN Security Council before stepping down, saying that governments are putting short-term goals and national interests ahead of human suffering, global peace and security.

As she prepares to leave her post as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights after six years in her post, she said in her final address: "I firmly believe that greater responsiveness by this council would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives."

"Even after violence has broken out, international actors can help broker and enforce peace," she added.

Pillay, a South African, cited 12 cases from around the globe, ranging from Afghanistan to Ukraine, where the international community has failed to prevent the outbreak of conflict.

"None of these crises erupted without warning. They built up over years - and sometimes decades - of human rights grievances," Pillay said.

Pillay said that the Security Council's "interest in human rights has increased" during her tenure, but cited Russia and the USA's disagreements concerning Syria and Ukraine, saying, "There has not always been a firm and principled decision by members to put an end to crises."
