Israeli occupation forces detained a 13-year-old Palestinian child, then led him around Hebron blindfolded, reported human rights NGO B'Tselem.

The incident occurred on the morning of 3 November, when soldiers seized 'Abd a-Razeq Idris, 13, from the Abu Jales neighbourhood of the occupied West Bank city.

As related by B'Tselem, the soldiers put the boy in a jeep, "blindfolded him and drove him around", then took him to another neighbourhood roughly 1km from his home, "where they took him out of the jeep and walked him, blindfolded, through the streets".

Comment: Watch the soldiers' faces. This is entertainment for them, while trying to advance Israel's goal of clearing Hebron of its Palestinian population:

Extreme Nanny State: Norway thinks it's proper to remove your child for not liking fish balls

The child welfare service in the prosperous Nordic country faces accusations of forcibly taking away children from perfectly capable parents.

Norway is tearing families apart. Just ask Natalya Shutakova, and she'll tell you all about it.

Her son turned ten this October. But she wasn't able to hug him or give him a present. That's because all three of her children, aged between seven and eleven years old, have been placed into foster homes and forbidden all contact with their parents.

Natalya and her husband Zignitas Aleksandravicius lost custody of their children this month in a case that has mobilised dozens of angry and aggrieved families against Norway's child protection agency - Barnevernet.

"Never in my worst nightmare have I thought something like this can happen to me," says Natalya, who along with her family moved to Oslo last year from the United States. She and her children are US citizens.

Comment: Expect future stories of rampant child sexual abuse and mysterious deaths at Norway's child care homes. See also: Norwegian child protection agency under investigation for removing children from parents without good reason

WHO now says your child's presence in school counts as 'informed consent' for vaccination - parental presence 'not required'

The WHO has labeled it 'implied consent'

The World Health Organization, which is the medical epicenter of the depopulation lobby, now considers your child's presence in school informed consent to vaccinate that child. Depopulation by vaccination us now fully outside the law and will sterilize, sicken and dumb down every child on earth but the children of the depop lobby members who don't vaccinate their children.

Comment: You can be sure the school systems will be lax in informing parents of scheduled vaccination days.

ATMs spitting back bank cards in Lebanon as 'dollars have virtually disappeared'

Though banks reopened this week in Lebanon, with the country's financial institutions remaining front and center in massive anti-government protests amid accusations of corruption and wild mismanagement, withdrawal limits have now been made official by the country's Banks Association — previously unofficially enforced.

The formal controls now include limiting withdrawals to $1,000 per week, with transfers abroad only ambiguously defined necessary for "urgent matters".

Yet the collective panic, driven by fears patrons won't be able to retrieve their deposits from banks, has only compounded, as now The Washington Post reports "Dollars have virtually disappeared."

"Over recent weeks, ATMs in Lebanon have been spitting back bank cards, refusing to provide dollars to those who ask for them, though people here have long used the American currency alongside the Lebanese pound," the WaPo reported.

Kurdish terrorists? 3 killed, dozens wounded in car bomb blast in Syrian town along Turkish border

Comment: If - as the Turks have been saying all along - it turns out the Kurds are behind the uptick in terrorist atrocities against civilians along the Syrian-Turkish border, what does that say for all the Western bleeding-heart liberals gushing about defending the 'cuddly Kurds' from those evil dictators Putin, Erdogan, Trump and Assad??

A car rigged with explosive detonated in the Syrian town of Tell Abyad near the Turkish border, killing three and injuring 26, Ankara said.

Photos and videos on social media allegedly show the aftermath of the blast on Saturday.

A vehicle is seen engulfed in flames and covered in smoke, as locals rush to clear the rubble from the damaged building nearby.

The Turkish Defense Ministry said that three people were killed and more than 20 wounded. Local media, meanwhile, had reported earlier that there'd been at least 14 fatalities.

ACT justice minister says even he was kept in dark over secret prisoner

The Australian Capital Territory's justice minister, Shane Rattenbury, has slammed the federal government for the "disturbing" and "extraordinary" secrecy it imposed on the prosecution and imprisonment of a mystery inmate facing unknown charges.

Rattenbury said the secrecy was such that even he, as justice minister, had no knowledge of the case until recently.

"I am deeply disturbed by the extraordinary levels of secrecy surrounding the 'Witness J' case: secrecy that is a direct result of the commonwealth government's apparent growing disregard for the principles of open justice and a robust democracy," Rattenbury said.

"It is disturbing that Canberrans, along with other Australians, only learned about this case after the fact due to the restrictive commonwealth legislation."

"I include myself in this group - despite my role as minister in a territory government, I was not advised in relation to this issue."

The Jewel Room at the Green Vault in Dresden. German police said thieves appeared to have targeted the jewellery collection

Thieves have broken into one of Europe's largest collection of art treasures in the German city of Dresden and stolen objects worth up to one billion euros, police have said.

The Grüne Gewölbe (or Green Vault) has been stripped of hundreds of artefacts, after the thieves reportedly started a fire in the early hours of Monday that led to a breakdown in the power supply and the failure of security alarms.

Police are calling the break-in the largest art heist in postwar history.

The Grüne Gewölbe's most famous artefact is Augustus the Strong's treasure chamber. It was not known whether it had been broken into.

A police spokesman said on Monday morning: "We can confirm that there has been a break-in in the Grüne Gewölbe ... the perpetrators are on the run."

FILE PHOTO: Car bomb Afghanistan November 13th 2019: No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack

At least one foreign citizen was reported killed when a UN vehicle was targeted in a bombing in the Afghan capital of Kabul on November 24.

Interior Ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi said five others, including two Afghan UN workers, were wounded in the attack. The vehicle was heavily damaged.

The blast targeted the vehicle on one of the busiest roads in the city, in police district 9, according to Rahimi.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but both Taliban and the Islamic State extremist group are active in the capital and have repeatedly claimed previous attacks.

UK: Colchester Council to phase out use of glyphosate herbicide

Victory for campaigners as council moves to phase out use of dangerous herbicide.

Colchester Council is set to phase out the use of "dangerous" herbicides... but the move could cost the authority an extra £80,000 a year.

Comment: Worth it.

The authority's conservation and environmental sustainability task and finish group is recommending the council's cabinet approve plans to stop using glyphosates.

Areas where there is a high risk of human contact will be prioritised and the frequency of weed control measures could be scaled back in a bid to encourage biodiversity.

'Wexit': Canada's 'Brexit' or oil industry tool to circumvent Trudeau's environmental policy?

Sputnik
Mon, 25 Nov 2019 10:16 UTC

Wexit, the combination of "exit" and "Western", is a movement in Canada calling upon the country's crude-producing regions to bid farewell to the rest of the country and live on their own. Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps has explained what's behind the group's agenda.

Following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's re-election, the Wexit movement has been gaining momentum driven by discontent of Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada's oil-rich Western provinces, with the federal government's carbon tax, unemployment levels, delays in construction of the Trans-Mountain Pipeline expansion, and what they see as an unfair equalisation programme.

Trudeau, who is well aware of Wexit, tasked Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, a former minister of foreign affairs and "a native Albertan", to tackle the problem. While she admitted that "the election sent a message from the West" and said the federal government was ready "listening really really hard", she fell short of providing details on Ottawa's plans.

Comment: There may indeed be a top-down push behind the Wexit sentiment in western Canada. However, there is also a very real dissatisfaction with individuals in the western provinces who feel they don't really have a voice in Canadian politics. While the majority of western Canada consistently votes Conservative in federal elections, their numbers are no match for Ontario and Quebec who consistently vote Liberal. This movement can't all be blamed on 'the oil companies'.
