Kamala Harris
U.S. Senator Kamala Harris cackled like a medicated fool on The Ellen Show after threatening to kill President Trump.

Her laugh was almost as disturbing as her sentiments.

She also for good measure tossed Vice President Mike Pence and Attorney General Jeff Sessions into the mix.

Yeah she sure seems ready to run for president.

Another lunatic from California.

Comment: Just imagine the outrage had such comments been directed at Obama or Hillary!

Child protection groups file complaint against YouTube for illegally collecting data on children

Google violates child protection laws by collecting data from, and advertising to, children under 13, according to a complaint lodged with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) by a coalition of child protection and privacy groups.

The groups allege that Google, YouTube's parent organization, gathers data from tens of millions of children under 13 in the US alone. Google does this knowingly, and without asking for parental consent first - a violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

The advocacy groups, which include the Center for Digital Democracy, Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC), and the Consumer Watchdog, are pressing the FTC to sanction Google for these alleged privacy violations.

"For years, Google has abdicated its responsibility to kids and families by disingenuously claiming YouTube - a site rife with popular cartoons, nursery rhymes, and toy ads - is not for children under 13," said Josh Golin, CCFC director. "Google profits immensely by delivering ads to kids and must comply with COPPA. It's time for the FTC to hold Google accountable for its illegal data collection and advertising practices."

Viktoria Skripal, niece of former Russian intelligence agent Sergei Skripal, has recently been denied a visa to the UK, which has prompted her write a letter to Prime Minister Theresa May to reconsider her application.

According to Viktoria, her cousin, Yulia, who is quickly recovering after the alleged poisoning attack, desperately wants to return to Russia to see her family. She explained that 33-year-old Yulia had a boyfriend, a pet and a job in Moscow.

"She has a dog here, she has a life here, she has work here, and a loved one here," she told The Sunday Telegraph.

Viktoria Skripal also added that she wanted to go to Scotland Yard to "give explanations if they are interested in something." She denied that the Kremlin was behind her planned trip to Britain.

"If the British say I work for the special services, let them prove it. Show me one piece of evidence," Viktoria told the media outlet.

Terrorism ruled out in Muenster car-ramming case; suspect thought to be mentally disturbed

A 48-year-old man who rammed a van into a group of diners in the southern German city of Muenster acted alone, the country's interior minister said. He confirmed that police have ruled out terrorism in the ongoing investigation.

"Even despite the fact that there is already compelling evidence that we are dealing with a single perpetrator who did not relate to terrorist context... [the incident] should be thoroughly investigated," German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer stated on Sunday.

Speaking at the crime scene, the minister condemned the "brutal and cowardly crime," but added it would be impossible in future "to reduce or prevent such crimes," according to Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper.

Comment: Reports state that the man was mentally disturbed:
The Suddeutsche Zeitung, the first news group to report about the alleged identity of the suspect, said that he was a local resident in his late forties. The man was known to have some mental problems back in 2014 and 2016, the daily added. The paper also identified him as Jens R.

The Der Spiegel weekly, citing its own sources, reported that the man was a resident of Muenster and that he worked as a graphic designer. According to the FAZ daily, the man was born in the town of Olsberg, located south-east of Muenster.

The suspect has no criminal record and has not been known to police before, the media report. He also had no known links to any extremist or radical groups. The man's motives remain unclear. The German Focus magazine reports that the suspect attempted to commit suicide not long before the incident. He shot himself immediately after Saturday's incident.

There is slowly building anger in the UK at the Government's obvious bungling of the Skripal case

Anger, resentment and frustration building up in the UK as people realize they have been taken for a ride
  • And just in time the London-funded White Helmets divert attention to a different allegation of Russian-sponsored chemical attack
In her daily press conference on 5th April, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, mentioned a quiet resentment and fury that is building up amongst ordinary Russians over the way the Government of the United Kingdom has handled the case of Sergei and Yulia Skripal. Strange though it may seem, I sense a similar feeling of anger and resentment building up here in the UK, as it becomes clearer and clearer that the official narrative has little or no connection with reality.

The anger and frustration is increasingly being displayed on comment boards underneath pieces reporting on the issue. And the feeling is not confined to those who would normally be labelled "conspiracy theorists". It appears that even many of those who would not normally question official statements can see that something is seriously wrong with all this.

Comment: The author shouldn't fear the growing sense of anger on the part of the public who is beginning to see through the lies, rather, these kinds of developments should be celebrated.

Flashback Best of the Web: Local medic writes The Times: "No patients have experienced symptoms of nerve agent poisoning in Salisbury"

There have been some interesting developments in the alleged poisoning case of the British-Russian double-agent Sergej Skripal and his daughter Yulia.

The British governments standing on the issue is getting worse as more inconsistencies and doubts on its statements come to light. The international support for its claims is weakening.

On March 4 the Skripals collapsed on a public bench in Salisbury in England after they had visited a pub and a restaurant. They were brought to the local hospital. A local policemen was probably also affected. (See our previous posts, liked at the end, for many additional details.) A week later, on March 12, the British government said that a nerve agent was the cause of the incident and accused Russia of being responsible for the act:
Mr Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with Novichok-a military-grade nerve agent developed by Russia. Based on this capability, combined with Russia's record of conducting state-sponsored assassinations-including against former intelligence officers whom it regards as legitimate targets-the UK Government concluded it was highly likely that Russia was responsible for this reckless and despicable act.
Novichok is not a nerve agent but supposedly a group of chemical substances investigated in the Soviet Union for their nerve agent potential. Only recently have some of these substances been synthesized.

Looks like the future ain't what it used to be

Looks like we're in for a much rockier ride than many expect

This marks our our 10th year of doing this. And by "this", we mean using data, logic and reason to support the very basic conclusion that infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible.

Surprisingly, this simple, rational idea -- despite its huge and fast-growing pile of corroborating evidence -- still encounters tremendous pushback from society. Why? Because it runs afoul of most people's deep-seated belief systems.

Our decade of experience delivering this message has hammered home what behavioral scientists have been telling us for years -- that, with rare exceptions, we humans are not rational. We're rationalizers. We try to force our perception of reality to fit our beliefs; rather than the other way around.

Which is why the vast amount of grief, angst and encroaching dread that most people feel in western cultures today is likely due to the fact that, deep down, whether we're willing to admit it to ourselves or not, everybody already knows the truth: Our way of life is unsustainable.

The reasons why a dollar collapse is inevitable

dollar crash
"Naturally, the smooth termination of the gold-exchange standard, the restoration of the gold standard, and supplemental and interim measures that might be called for, in particular with a view to organizing international credit on this new basis, will have to be deliberately agreed upon between countries, in particular those on which there devolves special responsibility by virtue of their economic and financial capabilities."

General Charles de Gaulle, February 1965
We have been here before - twice. The first time was in the late 1920s, which led to the dollar's devaluation in 1934. And the second was 1966-68, which led to the collapse of the Bretton Woods System. Even though gold is now officially excluded from the monetary system, it does not save the dollar from a third collapse and will still be its yardstick.

This article explains why another collapse is due for the dollar. It describes the errors that led to the two previous episodes, and the lessons from them relevant to understanding the position today. And just because gold is no longer officially money, it will not stop the collapse of the dollar, measured in gold, again.

General de Gaulle made himself very unpopular with the international monetary establishment by holding the press conference from which the opening quote was taken. Yet, his prophecy, that the gold exchange standard of Bretton Woods would end in tears unless its shortcomings were addressed by a return to a gold standard, turned out to be correct shortly after. What the establishment did not like was the bald implication that it was wrong, and that the correct thing to do was to reinstate the gold standard. Plus ça change, as he might say if he was still with us.
