On Monday, students from the pro-gun control March for Our Lives protest are expected to announce plans to go on a 20-state summer bus tour. Vocal Parkland High School survivors and anti-gun activists, such as group leaders David Hogg and Emma González, will be headlining the 75-stop tour.

The bus tour, called "March for Our Lives: Road to Change," will include meetings with victims and survivors of shootings and focus on the promotion of more gun control legislation and registering fellow youths to vote, reports Axios.

Hogg, 18, promoted the bus tour during an interview with the outlet on Saturday. "I'm glad I'm getting my diploma and not my death certificate," he said. The recent Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School grad will take a year off before entering college.

Fellow prominent Parkland anti-gun activist Emma González will also be a key bus tour leader. "If you don't support this ... it'll look like you're going against kids," said González, unintentionally giving away the Left's motive for their shameless exploitation of the teens. The 18-year-old is off to New College of Florida in Sarasota next semester

NATO puppet Facebook looking to hire "news credibility specialists" that will pass judgment on which sites are "credible" - and which sites are not

The war on "fake news" is about to go to an entirely new level. According to media reports, Facebook has been seeking to hire "news credibility specialists" that will be tasked with "evaluating" which news publishers are "credible" and which are not. If the goal was just to simply filter out the handful of websites that purposely publish fake news stories, that would be fine. But as we have seen so many times in recent years, these types of programs inevitably discriminate against conservative viewpoints. Facebook is highly liberal, and they will be hiring from a California talent pool that is also highly liberal. And liberals invariably consider liberal viewpoints to be more "credible" than conservative viewpoints. Facebook built an empire by giving everyone a voice, and it is simply not fair for them to try to exclude conservative viewpoints now just because they do not like them.

Hopefully we can get some answers from Facebook about this. On their official job site, the advertisement for these positions indicated that these "news credibility specialists" would be involved in the creation of "a list of credible news organizations"...

Comment: It's no doubt that Facebook's recently getting their marching orders from NATO's propaganda wing - the Atlantic Council - is part of the reason the social media company is now going full Orwell. Yes, it's that bad.

The leftist Social Democrats, of Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, collapses, a Sentio survey shows. In the meantime the right-wing Sweden Democrats surge and become the biggest party of the country.

Jimmie Åkesson and his Sweden Democrats (SD) are on their way to become Sweden's biggest party during the next election on 9 September this year.

The SD gained 3% of support since the latest poll and is now at 26.1%. At the same time the Prime Minister's Social Democrats lost 3.6% of support and are at 21.7%, which is near their all-time low of 20.6%.

Comment: Sweden's "liberal," neoliberal, and left-leaning domestic and foreign policies have left it a hot mess that its citizens now seem to be aware of. Good on them for trying to correct the ship!

It's only getting worse amidst continuing Russiagate hysteria and has already begun to pop

Whoever controls the media controls the narrative. Whoever controls the narrative controls the world. Media propaganda has reached a level we have not seen in our nation's history as wars are ignored, politicians destroyed, and truths distorted. But the American people want change and they got that in Donald Trump. Despite that, the media is still the same and is now as atrocious as ever.

"Those who report the news and shape public narratives are of particular interest to US oligarchs, who bought up the old media long ago and are doing everything in their power to secure influence over the new media as well," caitlinjohnstone recently wrote on Steemit. "Pundits like Joy Reid are some of their most valuable assets, and they protect those assets accordingly. Because whoever controls the narrative controls the world."

Predators among us: Sex offenders groom in churches too

How predatory behavior goes undetected in congregations

A man who had long sexually abused children sat in front of his pastor, wanting to confess his crimes. He began cautiously, mentioning that there had been accusations against him. He got no further, as his minister broke in, "Well, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of," the minister said quickly. "You're the last person I'd believe that of. End of conversation."

This true account was shared in Anna C. Salter's 1991 book, Predators, Pedophiles, Rapists, And Other Sex Offenders. As a psychologist who has spent over 20 years working with and studying victims and sexual offenders, Salter says that "many offenders report that religious people are even easier to fool than most people."

Rachael Denhollander, the courageous attorney who invoked her faith in her statement during the trial of her abuser Larry Nassar, warns, "It defies the gospel of Christ when we do not call out abuse and enable abuse in our own church." Shortly before Nassar's trial, she lost her church because of her advocacy for other victims within evangelical churches. Her story is an example of a culture found in some churches that disregards victims.

Comment: In 2013, editors at SOTT interviewed Dr. Anna Salter about her book. You can listen to our interview or read the transcript below. Dr. Salter's invaluable book, "Predators: Pedophiles, Rapists, and Other Sex Offenders, Who They Are, How They Operate, and How We Can Protect Ourselves and Our Children", can be found on Amazon.

10 weeks incommunicado: Conspiracy building to force Assange out of Ecuadorian embassy

One day after Ecuadorian Foreign Minister María Fernanda Espinosa declared that her government would continue blocking WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange from all communications and deny him any personal visitors, she was elected president of the United Nations General Assembly. Today marks 10 weeks since Ecuador's government deprived Assange of his rights, which it is obliged to honour after granting him political asylum in its London embassy in 2012.

The UN vote in support of Espinosa was a substantial 128, versus 62 for the only other nominee, Honduras's UN ambassador Mary Elizabeth Flores Flake, and two abstentions. The vote suggests that the United States did not energetically intrigue on behalf of Honduras. Washington was believed to favour Honduras because its right-wing government supported the provocative relocation of the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

There is little doubt that the treatment of Assange by Ecuador's government - and behind it, the small country's corporate elite - is the outcome of pressure and threats by the US and other powers. Washington is demanding Assange's head as the price of restoring relations. CIA director Mike Pompeo, now US secretary of state, asserted last year that WikiLeaks was a "non-state hostile intelligence agency," due to its publication of documents exposing the operations of US intelligence.

Comment: Those countries participating in the persecution of Assange are showing their true colours; they are lackey's to the US and the Western ruling elites:

Portland: Ground zero for the next American civil war?

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few years, you know just how intense political divisions have become. In recent years, we've seen neo-Nazi marches, feminist marches, Antifa riots, anti-gun rallies and countless other protests and demonstrations. Unfortunately, violence has often accompanied these political gatherings.

Moods have been hostile all over the US, but the west coast seems to be descending into chaos faster than the rest of the country. Two years ago, 7 people were stabbed in Sacramento during a clash between Antifa and white nationalists. Last year, Berkeley broke out in a massive riot after Antifa started attacking a group called Patriot Prayer (more on them later). For the past few years, we have witnessed major riots in Seattle and many other cities on the west coast.

During this time of political destabilization, one of the most chaotic cities on the west coast has been Portland. This seems to be a place where the relatively equal balance of left-wingers and right-wingers creates an atmosphere that is prone to violence. Right-wing groups like Patriot Prayer have had a strong presence in Portland, and the same can be said about Antifa.

California to bypass federal reserve and create cannabis banking industry

cannabis federal reserve
Sacramento, CA - In states with legal marijuana, dispensaries and retailers are forced to operate in legal gray areas because the federal government still wants to lock people in cages for possessing this plant. One particularly troublesome aspect of this prohibition is that legal marijuana business cannot accept credit cards and are blocked from using traditional banks. Thanks to a new bill in California, however, all that could be about to change.

In January, Sen. Bob Hertzberg, (D-Van Nuys), along with a bipartisan coalition of nine cosponsors, introduced Senate Bill 930 (SB930) which would create a self-contained banking industry solely for the cannabis industry inside the state of California.

Last week, the California Senate passed the bill. If the bill makes it through final approval, the implications are revolutionary and would aid in further nullifying the federal prohibition of cannabis.

Comment: All over the world people are reconsidering the failed war on drugs, and the arrogance of the establishment thinking they can enforce irrational laws may just bring about more drastic changes than they'd bargained for: Also check out SOTT radio's: The Health & Wellness Show: The Highs and Lows of Cannabis as Medicine

Migrant centres, reduce arrivals, deportations: Italian minister Salvini announces plan to tackle mass migration

The first point of Salvini's action plan, he declared in a tweet Thursday, "is to increase the number of repatriation centers so that immigrants can be housed there rather than wandering the streets causing confusion."

In past months undocumented immigrants have been involved in a series of incidents, some of which have been serious, which undoubtedly influenced voters in the March 4 national elections.

The most notorious of the incidents involved three Nigerian asylum seekers arrested by Italian police earlier this year for the murder of the brutal murder of Pamela Mastropietro, an 18-year-old whose dismembered remains were found inside two suitcases outside Macerata in central Italy in early February.

Comment: With EU countries mandated to take in migrants when they can barely care for the citizens they already have, and this would apply to every country within the Eurozone, it is common sense to tackle the issue. And voters agree.

Italy and Greece have been particularly hard hit due to their proximity to countries migrants are leaving but primarily because, according to EU law, the countries migrants first enter, are forced to deal with them.

An Ecuadorean-born pizza delivery man is set to be deported from the United States after he tried to deliver a pizza at a Brooklyn military base.

The incident occurred last Friday when Pablo Villavicencio, 35, arrived at the Fort Hamilton base in Brooklyn to deliver an order from Nonna Delia's pizzeria, a brick-oven pizza restaurant in Queens where he worked. The guard at the military base asked Villavicencio to show more documents apart from the IDNYC card, which is the official form of identification recognized in New York City.

"I was delivering food to the military base, and they detained me," Villavicencio told The New York Post from an ICE detention center Wednesday, over the phone, where he is currently being held pending deportation.

"I have been there before and always go in and never have had any problems. They actually know me, and the sergeant knows me for some time doing delivery," he added.

Comment: A rather unusual request from the guard at the military base:
