A grisly escalator accident at a shopping mall in Jingzhou, China, resulted in the death of a woman who used her last few seconds to save her two-year-old son. The incident was caught on a surveillance camera, and shows Xiang Liujuan, a 30-year-old stay at home mother, carrying her son up an escalator, CNN reports. At the top, Xiang steps on part of the landing platform that suddenly collapses, trapping her inside. She manages to push her son to safety, and tries to grab the hand of a shopping attendant, but slips and gets swallowed by the still-moving escalator. WARNING: The video below contains graphic content that may be disturbing to some viewers. It took crews four hours to disassemble ...

A former Army Ranger who fears he fired the fatal round that killed NFL star Pat Tillman in Afghanistan has spoken out. Steven Elliott, 34, told the story of the moment Tillman was killed by friendly fire on April 22, 2004 when his regiment was ambushed. Elliott and other Rangers fired shots because they believed 27-year-old Tillman, who gave up a $3.6million football contract to serve his country in the aftermath of 9/11, was a Taliban insurgent. Elliott, a Kansas native and Oral Roberts University graduate who was on patrol with Tillman when he died 11 years ago, spoke in front of the congregation at Redeemer Covenant Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Sunday.

Obama pushes African nations to treat gays equally under the law The Associated Press DARLENE SUPERVILLE Jul 25th 2015 11:23AM Gay Rights a Delicate Issue for Obama During Kenya Visit NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- President Barack Obama nudged African nations Saturday to treat gays and lesbians equally under the law, a position that remains unpopular through much of the continent. Obama's Kenyan counterpart responded by calling the matter a "non-issue" for his country. Obama tackled the sensitive issue on his first full day in Kenya, the country of his father's birth. He drew on his own background as an African-American, noting the slavery and segregation of the U.S. past ...

This article is like a few before it showing Chechens fighting on both sides of the Ukraine civil war but the Kiev coup govt the USA supports has actual ISIS Chechen's from Syria fighting alongside Neo-Nazi Ukrainians. Choice quotes: He is hoping that Ukraine’s government will officially allow foreigners to fight in its army in order to entice Chechens away from fighting in Syria. “People are going from Chechnya to the Middle East out of a sense of hopelessness; if the Ukrainians made the right conditions they would come here instead. Many people go there not from ideology but are brainwashed when they get there,” he said. Based on a different section of the ...
NYT Op-Ed is calling illegal aliens "newly arrived strivers"

This is an opinion piece in the NY Times basically saying Trump is a monster and the GOP Dr. Frankenstein. Same old same old. What I found amusing is how illegal aliens are Orwellian re-named as "newly arrived strivers". Here is the quote: The adults patrolling the playpen of Republican politics are appalled that we’ve become a society where it’s O.K. to make fun of veterans, to call anyone who isn’t rich a loser, to cast an entire group of newly arrived strivers as rapists and shiftless criminals. Just too funny. Here is the rest of the article: Somewhere, we crossed a line — from our mothers’ modesty to strutting braggadocio, from dutiful decorum ...

Report: Israel treating al-Qaida fighters wounded in Syria civil war By JPOST.COM STAFF 03/13/2015 21:49 Israel has opened its borders with Syria in order to provide medical treatment to Nusra Front and al-Qaida fighters wounded in the ongoing civil war, according to The Wall Street Journal. The prominent American newspaper reported that Nusra Front, the Sunni Muslim al-Qaida offshoot which is currently fighting the Iranian-backed axis of Bashar Assad and Hezbollah, "hasn't bothered Israel since seizing the border area last summer" along the Golan Heights. While Israel views al-Qaida and its allies as enemies, it is far more disturbed by what it views as an even bigger ...

A recent incident in Wallingford, Connecticut, not far from where I grew up, caused VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow to comment: “Cultural Marxist totalitarianism is coming to an America near you.” A complaint was lodged with the local police that “hate” merchandise— Nazi and Confederate memorabilia—was being publicly exhibited and sold at a popular flea market. [PICTURED ABOVE] Following a police investigation, an Anti-Defamation League official named Joshua Sayles expressed the view that “It’s unfortunate that under the law people have the right to sell these things; but it doesn’t mean they should sell these things.

The Australian government announced plans to cull up to 2 million feral cats by 2020 in a bid to preserve dozens of native species that authorities claim face extinction because of the cats' predatory behavior. Speaking to a national radio station, Gregory Andrews, the country's first threatened-species Commissioner, said Australian Environment Minister Greg Hunt "is declaring war on feral cats, and he's asked me to take charge of that program.

In a forthcoming interview with Al Jazeera English set to air on July 31st, a former United States general—who helped craft some of the most controversial tactics in America’s foreign wars—warned that drone strikes create terrorists. Retired Army General Mike Flynn also criticized American torture tactics and condemned the United States for the integral role its foreign policy has played in spurring the creation of the notorious Islamic State. Flynn was a top intelligence official following 9/11. He worked for the Pentagon’s internal intelligence agency—the Defense Intelligence Agency—before conflict with Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper ...

In my morning trawl through the news websites, I scan the European and British ones with a growing sense of horror. Europe’s crisis of illegal immigration just gets worse. Chilton Williamson, in his recent fine essay Beyond “Immigration” [Chronicles, August 2015] described it as “national and cultural suicide. Such a thing is unknown in the history of the world.” But unfortunately, it’s not quite unknown—something horribly similar happened to the black Xhosa tribe in South Africa in the nineteenth century. But first: Europe. Anyone reading VDARE.com knows about Jean Raspail’s 1973 novel Camp of the Saints, in which a flotilla of boats carrying ...
Greek banks reopen but cash limits remain; taxes soar

Greek banks opened their doors Monday for the first time in over three weeks, a move that the government hopes will help the economy get back to normal following a period dominated by fears over the country's future in the euro. Still, strict controls on the amounts individuals can withdraw remain and new austerity taxes demanded by the country's European creditors mean that most everyday items are more expensive — from coffee to taxis to cooking oil. In downtown Athens, people queued up in an orderly fashion as the banks unlocked their doors at 8 a.m., but restrictions on most transactions remained. Though the daily cash withdrawal limit stayed at 60 euros ($65), the ...
FIVE CHILDREN AMONG 94 CRUCIFIED, FLOGGED AND CAGED BY ISIS FOR ‘EATING DURING RAMADAN’

Syrian Islamic State (IS) supporters have publicly crucified, flogged and caged nearly 100 people accused of breaking the daytime fast observed during the Muslim holy month. UK-based monitor the Syrian Human Rights Observatory (SOHR) yesterday said it had documented 94 such punishment cases for eating in Ramadan, including five children and two old men. Breitbart News previously reported the case of two boys “crucified” for eating in Ramadan on 23 June in Deir ez-Zour. For IS the punishment does not necessarily mean execution by nailing or tying victims to a cross. The group uses crosses and bars to pose dead bodies as a means of terrorising local populations or as a means of ...
Ron Paul Takes on Neocon: 'We've Got a Schizophrenic Foreign Policy'

We’re with the Iranians because we are both fighting ISIS but we’re against the Iranians because they are on the side of Assad. That is why RPI Chairman Ron Paul described our foreign policy as “schizophrenic” in a Newsmax debate on the Iran deal. On the Iran talks, Dr. Paul reminded the viewers that Reagan believed it was important to talk to the Soviets, a regime that had killed far more people than has the Iranians, and to look for ways to reduce weapons proliferation. So why not talk to Iran? Former CIA operative Fred Fleitz, now head of policy at the neoconservative Center for Security Policy, unsurprisingly disagreed, stating that he has no idea what Ron Paul is ...

Some Senate Republicans are thinking about moving a motion of approval of the deal, believing it would put Democrats in a tough spot ahead of next year’s elections.

Dimitris Bokas keeps meticulous records of the bathroom fixtures he sells from his small shop in the quiet middle-class residential neighborhood of Koukaki near the center of Athens — just in case a tax inspector makes a surprise visit to ensure Greece's 23 percent sales tax is being collected and reported correctly. But Bokas also does installation and repair jobs — and half of those involve cash deals with no receipts for his labor. The result is that a job costing 250 euros ($275) goes for 125 euros because he doesn't charge the client sales tax and Bokas doesn't report the income for taxation. "I've got a receipt for everything I sell in my shop," ...

Can Tsipras still last? Alexis Tsipras said he would likely step down from office if he did not gather the support of more than 121 of his Syriza MPs. Tonight's vote has left him with the support of 124. It's still a very narrow margin that could well provoke a vote of confidence in his leadership. Among the most prominent dissenters are his energy minister, labour minister, and speaker of the House. Watch this space. At they very least, a major reshuffle beckons. 00.13 Colin Freeman reports from Athens: Greek MPs have voted in favour of new austerity measures that will secure a third Brussels bail-out to stave off the threat of bankruptcy. After a tense debate that lasted ...

Russia puts its law above European court rulings 14 July 2015 Russia can avoid implementing European court judgments if they conflict with the Russian constitution, a top Russian court has ruled. Russia is legally bound by the European Convention on Human Rights. But the Russian constitutional court says Russia "can step back from its obligations" if that is the only way to avoid violating its constitution. Russia objects to a European Court of Human Rights demand that it compensate shareholders in former oil giant Yukos. The Council of Europe (CoE), which monitors compliance with the convention and ECHR rulings, voiced concern about the Russian decision. CoE Secretary ...
IMF stuns Europe with call for massive Greek debt relief

The International Monetary Fund has set off a political earthquake in Europe, warning that Greece may need a full moratorium on debt payments for 30 years and perhaps even long-term subsidies to claw its way out of depression. "The dramatic deterioration in debt sustainability points to the need for debt relief on a scale that would need to go well beyond what has been under consideration to date,” said the IMF in a confidential report. Greek public debt will spiral to 200pc of GDP over the next two years, compared to 177pc in an earlier report on debt sustainability issued just two weeks ago. The findings are explosive. The document amounts to a warning that the IMF will not ...

Jean-Claude Juncker, European Commission president, discards David Cameron's deal that spares Britain from Eurozone bailouts Britain will be liable for close to £1 billion of emergency loans to Greece, it can be revealed, after Jean-Claude Juncker tore up a “black and white” deal to protect UK taxpayers from Eurozone bailouts. George Osborne, the Chancellor, today attempted to fight off a proposal to raid the EU budget to save Greek banks from financial collapse. Under a plan drawn up in the small hours of Sunday night as leaders wrestled to save Greece from economic collapse, Mr Juncker, the president of the European Commission, wants to revive a mothballed bailout ...
