A biotech CEO -- who once injected himself with an unproven herpes treatment -- was reportedly found dead Sunday in the sensory deprivation tank of a Washington, D.C., spa.

Aaron Traywick, 28, was discovered in a salt-filled flotation therapy tank, a family member told two of his associates at Ascendance Biomedical, according to VICE News.

An investigation was launched Tuesday into Traywick's death but no foul play is suspected, D.C., police told The New York Post.

"Aaron was a passionate visionary. He seemingly never tired as he brought people together to work on some of the most imposing challenges facing humanity," Tristan Roberts told VICE News in a statement. "While many in the biohacking scene disagreed with his methods, none of them doubted his intentions. He sought nothing short of a revolution in biomedicine; the democratization of science and the opening of the flood gates for global healing."

Russia's strength and innovation is a deterrent against NATO aggression

As recent events in Syria suggest, Russia has found an effective way of keeping aggressive Western powers at bay with state-of-the-art missile systems and electronic warfare methods - much of it reportedly developed by young scientists and on the cheap.

War is rarely a pleasant topic, and even less so when it is known that particular conflicts - most regrettably in Iraq in 2003 and Libya in 2011, for example - were triggered due to the shameless machinations of foreign players and mercenaries.

Now the world is being held captive audience to yet another predictable Western rerun starring the usual suspects - the US, UK and France. These NATO members, willfully ignoring bona-fide terrorist groups in Syria, are blaming the 'Assad regime' for a series of chemical attacks against civilians - without evidence and formal investigation. To quote Thomas Paine, speaking on a different matter from a much earlier age, "These are the times that try men's souls."

These are also the times, we might add, that challenge men to find ways to address the threat. After all, how many more sovereign states must fall to the Western regime-change fanatics? How long before the regime change juggernaut arrives at Russia's front door? With NATO forces moving inexorably towards Russia's border, these are no idle questions. Thus it was with no small amount of enthusiasm and optimism that an April 13th assault on Syria by the US, UK and France was met with surprisingly successful resistance: According to the Russian military, Syrian government forces, using Soviet-era surface-to-air missile systems, including the S-200 and Buk, shot down 71 of 103 missiles launched by the Western powers.

The Pentagon has denied the claim.

Comment: With a 10th of the US military budget, Russia was able to meet and exceed the military capabilities of the West and still be able to fund social programs and infrastructure. A demonstration of the types of things that are possible when good leadership and careful management of resources are a core feature of its policies. See also:

"A farewell kiss": Journalist who threw shoes at George Bush to run for Iraqi Parliament

Muntadhar Al-Zaidi, the iconic Iraqi journalist who 10 years ago threw his shoes at former US President George W. Bush is now running for a seat in the Iraqi parliament.

In December 2008, Al-Zaidi caught the world's attention when he hurled both of his shoes at Bush during his visit to Iraq. Bush managed to duck twice to avoid what Al-Zaidi called "a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people."

A decade later, Al-Zaidi is making headlines again. Saying he is standing up for the interests of his fellow countrymen on the political arena, he is running for parliament in the next elections, due to take place May 12.

Comment: Along with Hamid Karzai who said that US Colluded With ISIL in Afghanistan this is an interesting turn of events.

Journalism professor: Pentagon pays media to influence their reporting

While dissatisfaction with mainstream media has been on the rise lately, people have increasingly started to talk about fake news and media lies. On the occasion of World Press Freedom Day, which is celebrated on May 3, Michael Meyen, professor of journalism at the University of Munich, commented on the issue in an interview with Sputnik.

The debate about the biased nature of some media outlets is driven by one-sided reports and growing dissatisfaction of ordinary people who are aware of "alternative constructions of reality beyond those presented by traditional mass media," Michael Meyen argued.

"Nowadays, there is information on the Internet that reveals to us other things. This sows certain mistrust and also sharpens our perception of omission, bias, which we have in traditional media," the scholar told Sputnik.

Meyen believes that Western countries adhere to the principle of freedom of expression, where everyone can basically say what they think. The problem is, however, that some media omit certain things and perspectives they believe are not "good for society."

Comment: Indeed. Journalists are adhering to a stated and almost unconscious command to write in a way they know will please their employers - lest they receive complaints from their already brainwashed audience - and get summarily fired.

Russian ambassador: UK govt is destroying evidence in Skripal case and has essentially abducted Skripals

On 4 March 2018 two Russian citizens Sergei and Yulia Skripal were reportedly poisoned in Salisbury, Wiltshire with the toxic chemical named A-234 under the British classification.

On 12 March Foreign Secretary Johnson summoned me to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and said that Russia was "highly likely" responsible for the attack. He invited us to respond by the next day, whether this had been a direct act by the state or Russia had lost control over this nerve agent.

The incident had international repercussions, including expulsion of 150 Russian diplomats from 28 countries, notwithstanding the fact that the charges were based on assumptions and unverifiable intelligence. The Western countries lost the same number of Moscow-based staff. Meanwhile, the British government provided no evidence either to the public, its allies or Russia. Subsequent events revealed that no proof of Russia's involvement existed. On 1 May, National Security adviser Sir Mark Sedwill confirmed that (despite a number of previous leaks) no suspect had been identified, a statement that speaks for itself.

US Navy source claims Trump's supercarrier warship 'breaks down after being chased by Russian ship for two days'

Donald Trump's state-of-the-art supercarrier warship broke down while being chased by a 300ft-long Russian spy ship, a US Navy source claims.

The USS Gerald R Ford - designed to make enemies "shake with fear" - had been tailed for two days by Russian intelligence gathering ship the Viktor Leonov.

The newest and most expensive class of US aircraft carrier had problems with its steering while being pursued off the east coast of the US, a source close to the Navy told Daily Star Online.

The £12.6bn ($17.5bn) CVN-21 class supercarrier was performing trials of its new systems at sea before returning to Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, its homeport, at the end of January.

Green Berets are covertly helping the Saudis in Yemen

RT
Thu, 03 May 2018 15:39 UTC

A team of US Army Green Berets have been covertly aiding Saudi Arabian forces in their fight against Yemeni Houthi rebels, according to New York Times sources.

A team of around 12 Green Berets arrived at the Saudi border with Yemen last December, despite Washington officially remaining uninvolved in the conflict. The commandos are reportedly helping Saudi forces to "locate and destroy" ballistic missiles and launch sites, which are used by the Houthis to strike targets within Saudi Arabia.

Sources also told the newspaper that the US troops are training their Saudi counterparts to secure the border with Yemen. There is no indication yet that their mission has taken them across the border and into Yemen itself.

Officially, American involvement in the conflict is limited to logistics and intelligence sharing. According to official figures, there were just over 500 US military personnel stationed in Saudi Arabia as of December last year.

Comment: 'Belief' that the Houthis are allied with Iran, regardless the truth, serves to qualify US military support for Saudi Arabia in the war on Yemen. Deployment of Green Berets widens the scope and spells more bad news for the people of Yemen.

The tensions in the country have been running high since April, when media accused Damascus of carrying out a chemical attack in the city of Douma, with US launching missile strikes against Syria without waiting for the end of an investigation into the case.

"US security services are planning provocations with the use of prohibited substances in Syria. The operation is led by a former militant of the Islamic State *[Daesh], Mishan Idris Hamash. The aim is to stage a chemical attack against civilians to be further spread in the media," the source told Sputnik.

According to the source, the preparations began on April 23. The civilians are being shipped to a territory near Jafra oil field to participate in a staged filming of an attack scene.

Soros-funded group launches app to help illegal aliens break the law, avoid authorities

Judicial Watch
Thu, 26 Apr 2018 16:52 UTC

An open borders group that has benefitted from U.S. taxpayer dollars and is funded by leftwing billionaire George Soros launched a smartphone application to help illegal immigrants avoid federal authorities. The app, Notifica (Notify), is described in a Laredo, Texas news article as a tool to protect immigrants living in the U.S. illegally by utilizing high tech and online social communications. With the click of a button, illegal aliens can alert family, friends and attorneys of encounters with federal authorities. "Immigration agents knocking at the door?" the news story asks. "Now, there's an app for that, too."

The group behind the app is called United We Dream, which describes itself as the country's largest immigrant youth-led community. The nonprofit has more than 400,000 members nationwide and claims to "embrace the common struggle of all people of color and stand up against racism, colonialism, colorism, and xenophobia." Among its key projects is winning protections and rights for illegal immigrants, defending against deportation, obtaining education for illegal immigrants and acquiring "justice and liberation" for undocumented LGBT "immigrants and allies." Illegal aliens encounter lots of discrimination, which creates a lot of fear, according to United We Dream. "We empower people to develop their leadership, their organizing skills, and to develop our own campaigns to fight for justice and dignity for immigrants and all people," United We Dream states on its website, adding that this is achieved through immigrant youth-led campaigns at the local, state, and federal level.
