Russia sees no need for retaliatory sanctions against the West but such a move is possible if a third wave of measures to isolate Moscow is introduced, the speaker of Russia's upper house has said, according to RIA Novosti.

"We do not think it is necessary to adopt retaliatory sanctions, although they have been prepared, considered and weighed. If our partners threatening us with a third round of sanctions do not stop, time may come when we will have to respond," Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko said in the Pravo Znat (Right to Know) program on TVC news channel on Saturday.

"But I do not want such a scenario to take place," she added.

Isolating Russia is impossible as it has been integrated into the world economy and is a member of the UN Security Council.

Today European countries are not interested in severing ties with Russia, she stated.

In recent years, the news has been flooded with more and more stories of sex infiltrating our schools. The stories range from those about questionable sex education curriculum to teachers having inappropriate relationships with students.

Last week was no different. Here's a small sampling of shocking occurrences from around the United States.

At Woodland Park Middle School in San Marcos, CA, 8th graders were forced to participate in a classroom activity that has parents furious.

The story was reported to 10News by the parents of a 14-year-old student who said that as part of a sex education lesson, students were told to stand under signs labeled "smiled at, hugged, kissed, above the waist, below the waist, and all the way."

Comment: This is called the ponerization of society where psychopathic traits, such as child sexual exploitation, are passed off as normal and acceptable to the general public.

National opinions changing: Is being gay a result of nature or nurture?

If homosexuality is caused be genes, researchers haven't found them yet. 42% of Americans believe gays are 'born that way', but scientists still don't have a definitive answer.
The gay rights movement has advanced with head-spinning speed in recent years.

"Hate crimes" now include attacks on individuals because of their sexual orientation. Government and employment benefits now are extended to same-sex couples. The US military has scrapped its "don't ask, don't tell" ban on openly-gay service members.

A string of federal judges - most recently in Wisconsin this week - have ruled state bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia now have what advocates call "freedom to marry." Gay judges, lawmakers, and other public figures are serving openly.

"US public opinion about gays has changed drastically in recent decades on the issues of marriage equality and LGBT acceptance as a whole, possibly related to the fact that three in four Americans say they have a friend, relative, or coworker who has told them that he or she is gay," Gallup reported recently.

Public support for same-sex marriage has reached an all-time high of 55 percent - more significantly, nearly 80 percent among young adults. Approval of gay or lesbian relations jumped 19 percent between 2001 and 2013 (from 40 percent to 59 percent, again according to Gallup).

Still, Americans are about evenly divided on whether homosexuality is something a portion of the population is born with or, instead, it is a characteristic resulting from upbringing and environment - present before birth or acquired.

Comment: The gay rights movement has largely been a success, based on the above statistics. But like every other ideological movement, there is a psychopathic element with motives far removed from those popularized with the general public, and even those fighting for and from within the movement itself. For more details see Pierre Lescaudron's article Mummy, why is Daddy wearing a dress? Daddy, why does Mummy have a moustache?

As for the science, since the question about gays has been raised, what about a more fundamental question: what is the cause of human sexuality in general, including heterosexuality? Is it fully genetic? The result of behavioral imprinting? The fact is, we don't even know that.

Two Las Vegas police officers and a civilian have been reportedly killed in a shooting spree that started at a pizza restaurant and spilled over to a neighboring Walmart store. Two suspects - a man and a woman - are reportedly down.

The two shooters have committed suicide, according to police. Suspects told shoppers they were part of a "revolution" and wanted a shootout with Metro police force - and had a "suicide pact." Their bodies were found in the back of the store.

Details are yet to emerge, but police sources told Las Vegas Review-Journal that the two officers were killed by a man and a woman who approached them at the CiCi's Pizza just before 11:38 am local time.

As the couple was leaving the restaurant, one yelled "This is the start of a revolution!" witnesses report. The shooters stripped the officers of their weapons and ammunition and went into the Walmart at 201 North Nellis.

Police are more dangerous to citizens than criminals

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear. -- Rosa Parks

Americans face a new crisis: police violence against citizens is escalating, blurring the line between criminal and public servant.

Escalating violence against American citizens by police has reached a bifurcation point; Americans are feeling the heat and are beginning to realize something must be done to deescalate police or soon America will join the ranks of hell holes of police crime and violence like Mexico, Haiti, Russia, Uzbekistan and elsewhere where police are independent gangs, violent and undisciplined and devolving into something closer to pirates - stealing property directly from their victims.

Horror stories of police murdering, beating, raping and plundering citizens are daily news in a cities large and small. One city, Albuquerque, NM is now murdering more people per capita than NYPD during arrests, yet NYC is 14 times more populated.

Thousands riot in India as heat wave prompts power cuts

Thousands of people enraged by power cuts during an extreme heat wave rioted across northern India, setting electricity substations on fire and taking power company officials hostage, officials said Saturday.

The impoverished state of Uttar Pradesh has never had enough power for its 200 million people -- about the population of Brazil -- and many receive only a few hours a day under normal conditions, while 63 per cent of homes have no access to electricity at all.

But recent temperatures that soared to 47 degrees Celsius have caused power demand to spike at 11,000 megawatts -- far higher than the state's 8,000 MW capacity -- triggering blackouts that shut down fans, city water pumps and air conditioners.

Thousands of people stormed an electricity substation Friday near the state capital of Lucknow, ransacking offices and taking several workers hostage for 18 hours until police intervened Saturday morning, state utility official Narendra Nath Mullick said.

Elsewhere, an angry crowd set fire to an electricity substation in Gonda, 180 kilometres southeast of Lucknow. It took three hours for firefighters to put out the flames on Friday. Another substation was set on fire in Gorakhpur, 320 kilometres southeast of Lucknow.

Ukrainian army uses multiple launch rocket systems "Grad" against the population
Question by The Saker: Did the Border Control Headquarters really fall to Donbas Army?

Juan's reply: Yes, done deal since yesterday morning. Lots of vids showing Donbas Army allowing the prisoners to leave after they changed in to civilian clothes and some vids showing Donbas Army going through the building and armories. Found was a got a ton of weapons and ammo including RPG's and MG's, at least two BTR's in good condition, several trucks and GAZ jeeps, at least one amphibious tracked vehicle that runs and a treasure trove of documents.

It was the officers who fought, the young boys mostly didn't or at best half heartedly. In actual fact most of the conscripts (Border Service and Militsiya are mostly draftees like the Army) were locked in a room until the fighting was over.

Donbas also took two army bases that same day. So score for that day is Donbas lost Krasni Limon and took Border Control HQ, two army bases and took control of about 90 kilometers of border when the actual border guards on duty loaded up all in to their cars and went to Rostov across the border with their families.

Surgeons in India have removed what is thought to be the world's biggest ever uterine tumour. The giant growth was removed from the womb of a 52-year-old woman identified only as Latha.
The world's biggest uterine tumour, weighing 30lbs and measuring 21 inches in diameter, has been removed from an Indian woman.

Doctors in the southern city of Chennai performed a complex operation on a 52-year-old woman identified as Latha.

She had been suffering breathlessness and fatigue for several years but had no idea the giant tumour - similar to the size of a watermelon - was growing inside her.

A month ago, the 52-year-old arrivied at Chennai's Kumaran Hospital, bleeding heavily.

Doctors ran tests and discovered she was severely anaemic, before detecting a 'large fibroid' growth attached to the outer surface of the uterus, which was putting pressure on her body and causing her symptoms.

Dr Mani Mekalai, head of the hospital's department of obstetrics and gynaecology, said the team were 'shocked' to find the massive growth.

She said: 'In medical parlance, this is called a super giant uterine fibroid and the largest one removed before this, in Africa weight 21lbs.

After photos of metal spikes designed to prevent homeless people from sleeping in posh London neighborhoods surfaced online, people have been venting their outrage with controversial invention all over the social media.

Photographs of metal studs on the doorsteps of a luxury flat building on Southwark Bridge Road in central London spurred an "anti-homeless spikes" hashtag campaign by Ethical Pioneer Twitter page.
As a former Street Sleeper I express my sincere disgust at those who installed this monstrosity! #AntiHomelessSpikespic.twitter.com/BQ9gVEg57p

An anonymous resident of the residential complex told the Telegraph, that "there was a homeless man asleep there about six weeks ago. 'Then about two weeks ago all of a sudden studs were put up outside. I presume it is to deter homeless people from sleeping there."

Yet again: 'Blindfolded, brought to knees': Russian TV crew abducted near Slavyansk by Right Sector

Journalists Andrey Sushenkov and Anton Malyshev kidnapped by Western supported fascists.
Ukraine's National Guard have detained two journalists from Russian TV channel Zvezda at a military roadblock near the city of Slavyansk. According to their driver, during a routine check they were blindfolded and taken to an undisclosed location.

Video operator Andrey Sushenkov and sound engineer Anton Malyshev have been unreachable since 14:30 GMT Friday afternoon, Zvezda TV announced on its website.The crew was heading from Donetsk to Slavyansk, the scene of intense fighting between the pro-Kiev forces and self-defense militia.

"At the approaches to Slavyansk we got in touch by phone. They said National Guards were searching them and they would call back as soon as the search is over. Since then their numbers are unobtainable," said Zvezda correspondent Evgeniy Davydov, who was in touch with the crew during their stay in Ukraine.

Their driver, Ruslan Zaslavsky, a local citizen of Slavyansk, was also briefly detained, but released several hours later.

The National Guards have checked the numbers of entry stamps in journalists' passports with someone they contacted on the radio, before a man in plain military uniform - without a helmet or body armor - took the guys away, Zaslavsky said.

"I saw them putting balaclavas on the guys' heads, but the wrong way about, so that they could not see anything," Zaslavsky told Zvezda after his release. "They were forced on their knees."

Comment: Freedom of press is foreign to the Western supported fascists. Needless to say, the Western media simply ignores what is happening in Ukraine.
