The Sentencing Council for England and Wales has drafted new guidelines proposing prison sentences of between 26 weeks and six years for social media posts deemed hostile toward a race, religion or sexual identity. The proposals have been made in relation to the Public Order Act, which prohibits all activities “intended or likely to stir up hatred” against minority groups, including transgender people. Many of the examples in the document reference social media use. Those “in a position of trust, authority or influence” abusing their position to stir up hatred are facing the harshest sentences. The suggested punishment will also be more severe if the offender has a ...
The Skripals Will Most Likely Never be Allowed to Talk

In the meantime, I want to refocus on the Skripal case. There is one outright bizarre thing which I initially dismissed, but which really is becoming disturbing: the fact that the Brits are apparently holding Sergei and Iulia Skripal incommunicado. In other words, they have been kidnapped. There was this one single telephone call between Iulia Skripal and her sister, Victoria, in which Iulia said that she was okay (she was clearly trying to reassure Victoria) but it was clear that she could not speak freely. Furthermore, when Victoria mentioned that she would want to visit Iulia, the latter reply ‘nobody will give you a visa’. After that – full silence. The Russian ...

Assad: Why talk to Trump if he doesn’t control the US?

Meeting with Donald Trump would be pointless because the deep state – not the president – controls the US, Bashar Assad said in an interview. He noted that the agenda of the deep state is to create conflict aimed against Russia. In an exclusive interview with Athens daily Kathimerini, Assad said there was no reason to meet face-to-face with Trump, since the US president “says something today, and does the opposite tomorrow,” and is likely not even in control of policy decisions. “[W]e don’t think the president of that regime is in control,” Assad told the paper, referring to Trump. “We all believe that the deep state, the real state, is in control, ...

Trump, says Professor Dennis Etler, an American political analyst who has a decades-long interest in international affairs.

The force, called My Local Bobby, makes citizens arrests and can gather evidence to launch private prosecutions. Clients who pay up to £200-a-month are given a direct line to a local officer, who they can also track on an iPad, and enjoy a meet-and-greet service from Tube stations or cars.

In two years, the agency has reportedly achieved more than 400 convictions for fraud, intellectual property theft and other offences. They now intend to move forces into other cities, as well as rural areas, amid a rising demand for the officers. Mr ...

The odd reality of Iran's centrifuges: Enough for a bomb, not power By Jon Greenberg on Wednesday, February 25th, 2015 at 4:41 p.m. The potential Iran nuclear agreement would limit Iran to the number of centrifuges needed for a weapon but too few for a nuclear power program. — Michael Morell on Wednesday, February 18th, 2015 in a broadcast of "Charlie Rose" Secretary of State John Kerry on Capitol Hill Feb. 24, 2015 urges senators not to criticize nuclear negotiations with Iran before a deal emerges.

"What I see in the bottom of this hole is the original 60,000-year-old volcanic deposit." What is thought to be the largest known sinkhole in New Zealand has ripped open across a farm on NZ's North Island, revealing a gigantic cavernous void estimated to have been decades or even a century in the making. The sinkhole, situated about 15 kilometres south-east of the city of Rotorua in a region called Earthquake Flat, measures as long as two football fields and plunges to a depth that would swallow a six-storey building. "The largest I've seen prior to this would be about a third of the size of this, so this is really big," volcanologist Brad Scott from Kiwi ...

Military rallies by armed forces took place across several major cities in Russia on May 09 to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of the Soviet Union’s march into Berlin and the victory over Germany in World War II.

PressTV.... Analysts say they expect world’s biggest buyers to find a way to skirt the sanctions that are to be imposed by the US against purchases of oil from Iran over the next months. Signs have appeared that show US President Donald Trump’s threat of curbing Iran’s oil exports once new sanctions are put in place is easier said than done as world’s biggest buyers are already reluctant to forego their Iran import plans. A report by Bloomberg said Chinese and Indian buyers were likely to continue buying oil from Iran as long as the European Union would allow payments to Iran. Shipments to top buyer China would stay the same, given being initially blacklisted ...
The One Nation Returning To Coal

As the developed world moves farther and farther away from coal-fired energy, one major economy is breaking the trend. Japan, in a move that few could have foreseen, has opened at least eight brand new coal-burning power plants in the last two years and has plans for at least 36 more in the next ten years. This ambitious return to coal far outstrips any other developed nation, and it’s only speeding up. Last month the Japanese government made major advancements to officially adopt a national energy plan that would see 26 percent of the country’s total electricity come from coal in 2030, directly contradicting a previous directive to cut back coal usage to just 10 percent of ...

RT... Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani at the 2018 Iran Freedom Convention in Washington, US, May 5, 2018 © Joshua Roberts / Reuters The US State Department has been forced to publicly distance itself from the US President's old friend and new lawyer, Rudi Giuliani. He stirred controversy last weekend by saying the US leader is planning regime change in Iran.

We have an interest bearing currency. President Lincoln's Greenbacks were a non- interest bearing currency. If we had Greenbacks, we would not have a federal debt of $21 trillion and trillions in debts by state and local governments. We would also not have a a backlog of trillions in needed infrastructure repairs. Nor would we paying $500 billion a year in interest payments on that government debt. A Depression is a period in time when Unpayable Debts are cancelled en masse. Because we are not allowed money unless we go into debt, cancelling unpayable Debts in bankruptcy court. In the 19th century we had a Depression which was called a Monetary Contraction. That loss of a third or more ...

Good evening, I’m still reporting on: Orban Calls For Alliance to Save Europe From Soros, 2199 Synopsis: Orbán told his audience: “George Soros has an army of shadows working in Hungary. We want to unmask it. We want to show that migration is not a human rights issue but a national security issue.” The EU is doing everything it can to make life harder or Orbán. The EU has threatened to cut funding to any nation that does not uphold so-called “EU values.” Orbán claims this is merely Soros-inserted code for the EU’s continued push for the Soros invasion agenda designed to bring about a one-world Europe where most sovereign power is ...

Isaac Deutscher, Donald Trump, and the end of the American empire The anniversary of Karl Marx’s birthday 200 years ago has gifted us with dozens of polemics, both pro and con, debating the theoretical prognostications and real world consequences of the ideology that bears his name. I won’t add to this genre except to note that the revolutionary character of the regimes that claimed his legacy have either gone by the wayside, like the Soviet Union, or else abandoned all but a content-less formal allegiance to Marxist orthodoxy, like China. For those still-believing Marxists the world over, the revolution has been betrayed – to which one can only add: welcome to reality, ...
