Despite crushing defeats in Iraq and Syria, Islamic State's propaganda outlets urged lone-wolf attackers to unleash biological warfare on the West, including dissemination of viruses from feces and droppings of rats.

A propaganda video released by pro-Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) propaganda mouthpieces had threatened to use the "silent destructive weapon" on Western countries, according to Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) which had made a transcript of the recording.

It states that a carefully engineered lone-wolf biological attack would come in response to US-led bombings of Islamist-held cities of Mosul, Iraq and Raqqa, Syria. The video also accused the "crusader alliance" of turning Muslim countries into a testing ground of "phosphorus bombs and toxin gas."

Comment: Yep, don't underestimate rats in a cage. They're willing to

Maternity homes and Health Ministry branches in several Russian regions have declared a temporary moratorium on artificial abortions as part of a nationwide campaign, a popular daily reports.

On Monday popular Russian newspaper Kommersant released an article in which it quoted the chief gynecologist and obstetrician of the Far East region of Primorye, Yevgeniya Shutka, as saying that all local medical institutions were taking part in the nationwide campaign called "Give Me Life" conducted by the "Foundation of Socio-Cultural Initiatives" NGO chaired by Svetlana Medvedeva, the wife of Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev. The doctor told reporters that the Primorye Region participates in the campaign for the fifth time and added that similar temporary moratoriums on abortions had been earlier announced in many other regions of the country.

Ensuring 'steady population growth'


Russia's population has rebounded from its 2009 low of fewer than 142 million to nearly 147 million last year, partly thanks to the addition of 2 million Crimean residents.

The target will involve boosting the birth rate to 1.7 - a number exceeded just two years ago - through financial incentives for new parents, better health provision, and better employment prospects for working mothers.

As with the previous aim, the other part of this objective will come through reducing mortality, not least through encouraging Russians to live a healthier, more active lifestyle.

This story includes graphic details of alleged sexual violence against minors.

A youth care worker for Southwest Key has been charged with 11 sex offenses after authorities accused him of molesting at least eight unaccompanied immigrant boys over nearly a year at one of the company's shelters in Mesa, Arizona, federal court records show.

The allegations against Levian D. Pacheco, who is HIV-positive, include that he performed oral sex on two of the teenagers and tried to force one of them to penetrate him anally. The other six teens - all between 15 and 17 - said Pacheco had groped them through their clothing. All of the incidents are alleged to have taken place between August 2016 and July 2017, according to a court filing last week that laid out the government's case.

The case, initially investigated by local police, is now proceeding through U.S. District Court in Phoenix. Pacheco had worked at Southwest Key's Casa Kokopelli shelter, one of eight the company runs in Arizona, since May 2016.

The new racism: How 'Race and Ethnic Studies' made color blindness a bad thing

racial protest
Like most Americans, I have always assumed that color blindness is our ideal. Not any more: color blindness is now become the new racism. So much for a 70-year struggle to fulfill Martin Luther King Jr.'s wish that his children be "judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." So much for the noble aim to treat people as individuals rather than as representatives of an identity group.

How is color blindness not a virtue? Is it really racist now? Where on earth does such an idea come from? The answer seems to be "race and ethnic studies," a mushrooming specialization which pops up in in several traditional academic disciplines such as cultural anthropology, political science, social psychology, and sociology. The problems I will describe infect all, but I focus on sociology, where MLK's idea of color blindness has been turned on its head.

Is it time for a #HeToo movement to 'save the males'?

Harry Crouch
San Diego: Harry Crouch's San Diego office is a study in male outrage. The shelves are stacked with books with titles such as Making Monsters: False Memories Psychotherapy and Sexual Hysteria, Legalising Misandry and Hotsy Totsy FemiNazi.

Badges like "California is Sexist & Hateful Against Men" adorn the walls, and a bumper sticker on the back of the door reads: "Don't be THAT girl: embarrassed about a hook-up? Angry at a boyfriend? Willing to destroy a life?"

Dr. Swee Ang
Malaysian-born Swee Ang is the first female Orthopaedic Consultant appointed to St Bartholomew ('Barts') and the Royal London Hospitals.

In the 1980s and 1990s she worked as trauma and orthopaedics consultant in the refugee camps of Lebanon and later for the United Nations in Gaza, and the World Health Organisation in the West Bank and Gaza. She is Founder and Patron of the British charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

She also treated the victims of the Pakistan (Kashmir) earthquake, and as consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon operated on and looked after the victims of the 7 July 2005 suicide bombs in the Royal London Hospital.

Dr Ang is the co-author of War Surgery and Acute Care of the War Wounded, and also wrote From Beirut to Jerusalem documenting her experience in the Palestinian Refugee Camps in Lebanon and Gaza.

She was aboard the Al-Awda sailing for Gaza with urgently needed medical supplies when the vessel was violently assaulted and hijacked in international waters a week ago and taken to an Israeli port. Passengers and crew were roughed up (some seriously injured) and abused, thrown in an Israeli jail and had their possessions and money stolen.

This is Dr Swee's account, word for word:

Comment: Dr. Ang has been an advocate of Palestinian causes in the past, drawing criticism from Israeli press... She is a target.

From The Independent:
In 1982, Dr Ang answered the Christian call to give medical aid to Palestinians. She resigned from St Thomas Hospital and left for Beirut. There she rendered medical aid to injured Palestinians and witnessed the massacres at the nearby refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila. She testified at the Israeli inquiry into the massacres in Jerusalem. She spoke up for the Palestinians as soon as she returned to London. And she has continued speak up for the Palestinians and to render medical aid to the them since that time. She set up Medical Aid for Palestinians and ran the charity until recently. She is now its patron. In 1989, she published From Beirut to Jerusalem, her eyewitness account of the massacres in Sabra and Shatila.

Terrorism, Immigration and Racism in Canada: The Backlash has Begun

Chinese Canadian Protest

Chinese Canadians in Markham Ontario demonstrate against illegal border crossings.
There's a strange confluence happening in Canada that is likely to alter the fate of all citizens across the country and leave an indelible mark upon the psyche of what was once considered a peaceful and friendly nation. A perfect storm is brewing of seemingly unrelated, but loosely connected events, that have transpired to increase tension and foment division between formerly amicable citizens in a profound and significant way.

Uncontrolled illegal mass immigration, along with the spectre of potential Islamic terrorism, combined with the forcible imposition of absurd and counter-productive neo-Marxist, social-justice inspired government policies, has resulted in a very public backlash recently, which has at times taken the form of several highly publicized incidents deemed as racially motivated "hate crimes" by Canada's progressive liberal media.

Contrary to all appearances, this confluence may not be merely an accidental and independent series of events, but is arguably a direct result of a deliberate and conscious plan by those in power to weaken national sovereignty and sow discord, mistrust and hostility between different groups of people. The signs are all there. It's time to put the pieces together...

Comment: For a short but comprehensive understanding of the ideology that drives the progressive policies of governments like Justin Truedeau's, this video on cultural Marxism serves as an excellent primer...

One year later: 2 young sisters of IS fighters struggle to adapt to peace after Iraq

Fatima and her grandfather Anwar in Russia's Makhachkala.
Returning to normal life hasn't been easy for the two sisters orphaned in Iraq after their parents were killed fighting for Islamic State. RT visits the girls one year since they arrived to their grandparents in Russia's Dagestan.

Fatima and Khadija were brought back to their grandparents last August who had had little hope that they survived in the fighting. Despite still dealing with the post-war trauma, the little sisters feel safe in their home on the outskirts of Makhachkala in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan.

"The girls look and behave like any other child of their age, despite the traumatic experience they went through," Madina Kochenova reported from Dagestan's capital. Elder sister Khadija is open and active, while Fatima, who is two years younger, is quiet and introverted, often seeking the company of her grandfather, Anwar.

"She doesn't let me go anywhere. She says her dad also left in the morning and never came back in the evening. She tells me how the gas station where he worked was bombed. Tells me how the planes arrived, dropped their bombs and left,"the grandfather said.
