Amnesty: Pentagon killed 10-20x more civilians than it's letting on

The Pentagon's conclusion that 119 deaths have resulted from US-led coalition strikes in Syria and Iraq represents only 5 or 10 percent of the actual civilian death toll in those countries, Neil Sammonds, an Amnesty International researcher focusing on Syria, told RT.

In the latest incident not included in the official tally, at least 23 people, including seven children and nine women, were killed after the US-led anti-terrorist coalition bombed the village of Heisha in rural Raqqa on Tuesday, the National Coalition for Syrian Revolution and Opposition Forces said in a statement.

While condemning the "horrific incident" the rebel group, supported by the West, called on the US coalition to stop "these repeated incidents" in which civilian areas were bombed.

"The Coalition reiterates calls for a thorough investigation into such incidents and for reviewing the rules procedure of operations against ISIS and holding accountable those responsible," the statement said.

Comment: The Red Cross (ICRC) concurs, saying:
"We do not have detailed information about how many people fell victim to US airstrikes in Syria for the said period. However, even according to the most rough estimates, the real number may be much higher than this figure," the ICRC source said.

Asked to specify by how much, the source said "by several times."
How many? According to a source in Russian Defense Ministry (who obviously has a motive to present the U.S. in a negative light, but just as obviously has the means to determine a more accurate figure):
"Listening to such statements from the US Central Command spokesman, we have an impression that the Pentagon does not consider the remaining thousands of Syrian and Iraqi civilians killed in US Air Force strikes to be humans. But even such an advanced stage of dishonesty and cynicism of US colleagues should have its limits," the Russian source said.

The statement noted that US Air Force has been conducting up to 20 strikes per day in Syria and Iraq, or about 7300 strikes in the past year.

"Moreover, a significant part of this 'work' has been assigned to the B-1B to the B-52H bombers, while the 'humanity' and 'accuracy' of their carpet bombings are well known since the days of the Vietnam War," the statement added.
Ouch.

You've heard the old adage, "Justice is swift," but when it comes to justice in cases where police are the perpetrators, often times, it's "justice delayed." Oregon's KATU 4 reported Wednesday the Seattle Police Department has fired Officer Adley Shepherd over his involvement in an incident which took place in 2014. He's been on paid vacation ever since.

On June 22nd, 2014, Officer Shepherd responded to a domestic disturbance involving Miyekko Durden-Bosley, then 23, and another man. The decision was made by Shepherd to arrest Durden-Bosley, whom he placed in handcuffs, and walked to his cruiser. As Shepherd was attempting to seat Durden-Bosley into the back of his patrol car, she resisted arrest, and kicked the officer. Shepherd exclaimed, "You kicked me!" then, in what appeared to be a full-force right hook blow, the officer punched the defenseless woman in the face.

Durden-Bosley and her lawyers sued the police department for the officer's violent actions against a handcuffed subject while in police custody. Three separate investigations took place into the incident, and all the while, Shepherd was placed on paid leave from his duties on the force.

Hollywood A-listers and celebrities across America vowed to leave the country if Donald Trump was elected. We at The Duran have decided to compile a list of suitable countries to help these gloomy stars find a new home.

It's official: Donald J. Trump WILL be the next President of the United States of America.

The world has been saved from utter destruction and the most corrupt politician to ever run for president has been routed in historic fashion. However, many celebrities, athletes, and famous people (clearly much smarter than the rest of us) have promised to leave the U.S. if 'The Donald' was elected POTUS - well, pack your bags!

Many of the incidents have been posted on social media sites, with a large number reportedly happening at educational institutions across the country.

A Muslim woman in California wearing her hijab was robbed of her car Wednesday by two men who made comments about Trump and the Muslim community at San Diego University, according to a police statement.

Turning Tide? Sheriffs LEAVE Standing Rock, Saying 'It's Completely Unethical'

Widespread outrage over both the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline and violent police crackdowns rages on. That outrage is spreading even to police agencies now returning from deployment to the reservation. Two departments have already refused to return, citing personal and public objections. As if that wasn't enough, an army of sympathizers is re-purposing social media to combat police efforts in Standing Rock.

Minnesota's Hennepin County Sheriff's Department is among that group. Lawmakers, according to MPR News, found police activities in Standing Rock "inappropriate". It's to the point where they're considering rewriting legislation to avoid future deployments to incidents like the pipeline resistance.

Smith's comments split the state's government, however, and she was targeted. Minnesota State Rep. Tony Cornish condemned Smith for prioritizing "the rights of protesters over the needs of law enforcement", saying she should apologize to the cops.

Sheriffs from Wisconsin's Dane County were more empathetic, pulling out and refusing to return. According to the Bismarck Tribune, Sheriff Dave Mahoney made the decision after a "wide cross-section of the community" decried the deployment. "All share the opinion that our deputies should not be involved in this situation", says Mahoney. Dane County's deputies were deployed to Standing Rock for around a week. Sources report Dane County wasn't involved in recent arrests, a string of which scooped up an alderwoman from Madison Wisconsin.

school cop rape
A Galveston Independent School District police officer, whose job was to protect students as they attended class, was arrested this week for sexually assaulting a child — possibly more than one.

Officer Victor Lee Cervantes, 30, was arrested this week after his supervisors discovered that he was having inappropriate relationships with one or more students. On Wednesday, Cervantes was charged with sexual assault of a child, two counts of improper relationship between an educator and student and online solicitation of a minor.

Apparently, his abuse was so rampant that other ISD officers noticed it and reported him to their supervisors.

According to the school superintendent, Kelli Moulton, Cervantes has been placed on administrative leave following the accusations.

Police also said that Cervantes was accused of engaging in sexual acts with at least one female child on two separate occasions. He was also caught sending sexually explicit text messages to another child, according to police.

Two jets have reportedly crashed near Miramar, a neighborhood in San Diego, KFMB is reporting. One pilot landed safely, while another ejected and had to be pulled from the water.


The Marine Corps confirmed that two Third Marine Aircraft Wing single-seat F/A-18 Hornets collided in mid-air during a training mission at about 11:43am. The cause of the crash is being investigated. One pilot was able to safely land his jet at Naval Air Station North Island, but a USS Vincent rescue unit had to recover the ejected pilot from the water around 12:41pm, according to a local Fox-affiliate.

MoveOn "activists" march against Trump: George Soros begins his color revolution in America

Anti-Trump protesters march through the streets of New York shouting 'Not my president'.

MoveOn.org is a George Soros NGO...and George Soros NGOs have nothing to do with charity or justice, and everything to do with political leverage, and in extreme cases government insurrection.

We have seen Soros begin destructive movements to remove those he deems unsuitable to govern in a variety of countries, most recently in Ukraine, with the Soros sponsored Maidan coup.

Now it looks like Soros may be setting his sights on sabotaging the forthcoming Trump presidency.

We do know, thanks to Wikileaks, that George Soros was a huge supporter of Hillary Clinton, as Hillary Clinton was always looking out of George Soros' best interests.

We are certain Trump's victory is a bitter pill for globalist Soros to swallow. Between Putin and Trump, Soros may finally be starting to feel his power on the world stage falter.

Comment: While it may be that Trump's worst tendencies and sensibilities are exacerbated, encouraged and ultimately brought to fruition by the deep state, we can now already see how the Donald's persona is being used to further fracture US society and drive people with fear and hate. The irony of course is that if Killary had been elected, she would have been dividing the American public with relish; conscious only of how it would serve her masters and further her own elite status. This fact is grotesquely lost on most of the anti-Trump protesters who should be calling for Killary's incarceration given all that's come to light. That would be a message worth screaming about.
