A man who filmed his pug doing a Nazi salute before posting the footage on YouTube has been fined £800. The case sparked a massive debate on free speech, with high-profile figures such as Ricky Gervais also weighing in.

Mark Meechan - also known as Count Dankula - posted a clip of his girlfriend's pug, named Buddha, responding to phrases such as "gas the Jews" and "Sieg Heil." He was found guilty at Airdrie Sheriff Court last month of committing a hate crime.

Meechan denied any wrongdoing and said he made the video - which got more than three million views when posted on the video streaming platform - to annoy his girlfriend. But under the Communications Act, Sheriff Derek O'Carroll found Meechan guilty of posting grossly offensive material as it was "anti-Semitic and racist in nature."

The case stirred a massive debate on the right to freedom of speech in the UK. High-profile figures, including comedian Ricky Gervais, took to Meechan's defense, saying:

A neighborhood cleanup for Earth Day in one Indiana neighborhood turned into a crime scene investigation on Saturday after volunteers found a set of human remains along a creek that may belong to a missing mother.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department told FOX59 the partially covered remains were discovered on the city's east side around 11 a.m.

"It's a little scary to know that something could have happened so close to home and there's body evidence or possible evidence of it," resident Carrie Hawk said. "So, it's a little scary. I have two children who I send on the bus and my son walks back and forth using the city bus."

Detectives spent the day searching for evidence, and the coroner's office was called in to help identify the remains and a possible cause of death.

Parents in cities across the U.S. as well as Canada, Australia, and now, the U.K. are pulling their children out of schools Monday to protest what they view as "pornographic," "gender-bending" sex ed curricula conducted and promoted by taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood.

"A few of us moms were disgusted by the evidence we were seeing on social media of graphic sex ed in the schools and the stories about gender transition parties and teaching kids to question their gender," Sex Ed Sit Out organizer Elizabeth Johnston - the "Activist Mommy" - tells Breitbart News. "So we decided to stop griping about it and actually do something about it."

Comment: This all reeks of the push to sexualize children and normalize the pedophile agenda. There is absolutely no reason for children to learn graphic sexual material or 'alternative' lifestyles. This is the corruption of the youth and it's taking place in public schools.

A tragic case of police incompetence and neglect unfolded this month which led to the death of a young boy who desperately needed help from police. Calling 911 multiple times did nothing and the boy died as police ignored his pleas. Now, days after his tragic death, police have released body camera footage showing the officers who "searched" for the boy never even got out of their car and joked as he died.

Kyle Plush, a 16-year-old high school sophomore suffered a tragic fate earlier this month as he was crushed to death in the back of his family's minivan. Kyle had gotten trapped under the third row seat while the car was parked in the school parking lot and he was unable to free himself.

After he was trapped, Kyle managed to reach his cellphone and dialed 911 to beg police to come help him. Despite calling 911 twice, however, police ignored his calls. The subject of these calls is now under investigation as the lack of response led to the boy succumbing to asphyxiation and dying.

Why American LNG is not a viable alternative for Russian gas in Europe

Washington's plan to oust Russian natural gas from the European market and substitute it with its own liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments is not economically feasible, analysts told RT.

"American LNG exports have failed to become a full-fledged alternative to Gazprom's pipeline gas in Europe, as the latter has set another record-high last year. About half of the US LNG supplied to Europe is purchased by countries that do not have long-term contracts for Russian gas (formerly Spain and Portugal)," Maria Belova, head of research at VYGON Consulting, told RT.

The analyst notes that US gas is not a viable alternative to the pipeline supplies of Gazprom, which has renewed its historical record in export volume to Europe for the second consecutive year, due to the competitive pricing.

A closer look at Ben Nimmo and the Atlantic Council's underhanded tactics against a UK citizen tired of government warmongering

Ben Nimmo 1
For the past few months, Ben Nimmo, the head of the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Labs has had his eye on one Twitter account in particular and he has relentlessly framed that account as being that of an influential "Russian bot" that is linked to the Kremlin. This post will reveal that the Atlantic Council's Ben Nimmo has displayed utter incompetency and a shameful display of research (or lack thereof), considering his position as head of DFR Lab, and considering the large amount of money that the Atlantic Council receives and spends on supposedly 'countering' disinfo (to be read as acting as "Thought Police") for the global elitist establishment.

A quick look at the Twitter feed of Ben Nimmo and The Atlantic Council's DFR provides screenshots highlighting the dates and times that Ben Nimmo was focused on the account Ian56.

Link to Ben Nimmo's Twitter account:

Comment: The Atlantic Council and Digital Forensic Research Labs (DFRLabs) are well known for their role in sowing disinformation in the online world. That Ben Nimmo was behind the removal of Ian56 on Twitter is not surprising given their zeal in stifling any opposition to the official narrative. See also:

Hundreds of protesters arrested in Armenia - authorities claim law & order is threatened

Armenia protests

Almost 300 people, including three leaders of the opposition, have been detained in the Armenian capital Yerevan as authorities claim that protests, now in their second week, are jeopardizing the country's constitutional order.

Scuffles broke out as demonstrators again attempted to block traffic in the capital, with security forces reportedly using special tactics, including stun grenades, against the crowd. Protests have been constant in Armenia since the ruling Republican Party of Armenia nominated their leader and former president, Serzh Sargsyan for the position of Prime Minister in mid-April.

Comment: The BBC reports that protesters have rallied after Pashinyan's imprisonment:
Thousands of anti-government protesters have rallied defiantly in the Armenian capital Yerevan after riot police seized their leader.

[...]

Armenia's biggest square is full of protesters. The detention of Mr Pashinyan and other opposition leaders did not stop protesters from turning up. They are holding placards that read "I am Nikol" and chanting his name, along with another slogan, "Serzh go".
Al Jazeera reports that soldiers have also joined the protests:
Hundreds of soldiers have joined anti-government protests in the Armenian capital of Yerevan on Monday, accusing the country's prime minister of corruption and authoritarian rule.

In a response to the ongoing protests, the Armenian defence ministry said it would take harsh measures against any member of the military taking part in the demonstrations.

Another day, another troll accusation - Twitter user Citizen Halo has taken to social media to lash out at the MSM after a hit piece suggested that she was not a "Finnish activist," but actually a Russian troll.

Calling her motives and, apparently, location into question, in an article headlined "Skripal trolls mobilised to spread 'news' of bombings," reporters for the Times queried the legitimacy of a person who could question the accepted narrative on both the Skripal poisoning and the recent strikes on Syria.
