PEDOPHILE RING AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS IN BRITISH GOVERNMENT - Maybe up to 40 past and present politicians of main political parties may be implicated

The Palace of Westminster (Reuters / Kieran Doherty)

A whistleblower who kicked off UK police pedophile probe Operation Fernbridge believes as many as 40 British MPs and peers were involved in or turned a blind eye to child abuse.

Peter Mckelvie, a retired child protection team manager, who has spent more than 20 years compiling evidence of alleged child abuse by people in authority, believes ten current and former politicians are on the list and that there is enough evidence to arrest at least one senior politician, reports the Daily Telegraph.

THE WEST ALSO DEVALUES CHILDREN'S LIVES - The case of the baby Cooper Harris deliberately left in a car to bake - How killing unborn babies is now a "right".

We are often horrified at the abuse and exploitation of children in other countries. But we should not feel so smug.

In our part of the world any baby still in the womb can be regarded as simply garbage to be disposed of if they are inconvenient to the baby's parents.

Aborted fetuses are used for medical research at best. At worst they are thrown away as "medical waste".

There have been at least two instances when it was revealed that such medical waste is used to heat up hospitals and other buildings.

Feminism has indeed sustained the notion that in matters of choice, it's only the mother who has the power of life or death of a baby in utero.
The baby - a real human being - in development, has neither choice nor right to life.

Choice for feminists is not whether to have sex or not. It's about choosing after the fact, when a new life has already been created.

They routinely raise the issue of rape, but most abortions are done on women who had sex voluntarily.  The issue of whether the baby should get the death penalty after a rape is not even discussed.

Photos above: Baby Cooper Harris, 22 months, and his father Justin, who has been accused of the crime of leaving his son to bake in his car.

'MODERATE' PALESTINIANS CALL FOR REVOLUTION AND DEMAND BLOOD - Rioters stop cars, ask drivers for their religion, and attack Jews - Jerusalem light rail system destroyed - ISIS flags going up

Violence has escalated since the murder of an Arab teen, which Arabs blame on the Jews.

Police are still investigating, since there are several inconsistencies in the parents' statements to police. There is speculation the killing took place because the boy was gay, and this could be an honor killing. The family has also had other child kidnapping attempts in the past.

TIMES OF ISRAEL - A road was blocked in both directions due to burning tires, and masked men began asking drivers their religion. Two of the drivers who answered back in Hebrew were dragged from their cars and beaten. One of the drivers managed to get back in his car and escape while the other escaped on foot. His car was set on fire. A police officer in uniform was also attacked on the road. He escaped on foot and his vehicle sustained damage.

ISIS style flags aloft at Arab teen's funeral

Signs of bloodthirsty terror organization growing in Israel

The bloodthirsty terror group has gained prominence in recent months for capturing large swaths of western Iraq after three years of fighting in the ongoing Syrian civil war. ISIS has developed a reputation for particular brutality including beheadings, mass murder and crucifixions.

Last week, its flags were seen aloft at the Gaza funeral of an Islamist militant targeted by Israel in an airstrike for his involvement in launching rockets at the Jewish state.

At the time, analysts said this was the first such open sign of local support for the group. Israel’s Ma’ariv daily reported that Israeli and other western intelligence services have warned that the group’s influence is spreading and may have set down roots in the coastal enclave.

Also on Friday, Jerusalem Post Arab affairs correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh reported in the Gatestone Institute that “despite denials by Hamas, there is growing evidence that the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria [ISIS] — also known as ‘The Islamic State’ — has begun operating in the Gaza Strip.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arab violence in Israel is an ongoing affair - It never stops - It only gets worse from time to time

The idea of "land for peace" has lost all credibility - particularly in a Middle East context where Muslims are slaughtering other Muslims. The idea that any self-respecting Muslim will make peace with the hated Jews just because Israel agrees to partition its land is risible.

Arab riots are always going on in Israel, particularly around Temple Mount, Jews' most sacred religious site, which Arabs demand be banned to Jews.

Attacks on Jewish motorists also occur daily, with stone throwers sometimes injuring and even killing Jews.

So Arabs don't really need an excuse to attack Jews. It's the Jewish presence in the Middle East that enrages them.

Once Islam conquers a place, it's considered to belong to Muslims forever. In the 7th century Israel was invaded and conquered by Muslims from the Arabian peninsula. They are the true occupiers.

Until early in the 20th century Israel was part of the Muslim Ottoman Empire, the same caliphate one the group ISIS, now conquering Syria and Iraq, wants to expand all the way to Spain and other parts of Europe they once dominated.

This war with Islam will never end. Those who think that by partitioning Israel for the creation of a Palestinian state will bring peace to the region are deluding themselves and pursuing the weakness of the only country in the Middle East where Christians are not persecuted.

HAITI - not much has changed

(NaturalNews) One of the most well-known charities in the world is being intentionally elusive about how it spent more than $300 million in donations it received following Hurricane Sandy.

The independent news group ProPublica says the American Red Cross has repeatedly denied requests to disclose details about how the Sandy money was spent, claiming that this information is a protected "trade secret."

The Red Cross is so insistent about keeping this information private that it has reportedly hired posh New York law firm Gibson Dunn to fend off anyone who might try to hold the charity responsible for its donation spending.

SENATOR RAND PAUL

The following is an article by Senator Rand Paul on White House response to recent events in Israel.

TRAGEDY IN ISRAEL

This week, three young boys were buried in Israel. The victims of kidnapping, they had been murdered by terrorists from Hamas.

The boys, Eyal Yifrach, 19; Gilad Shaar, 16; and Naftali Frenkel, a 16-year-old dual U.S.–Israeli citizen, were like any other children — their lives ready to be lived, their dreams ahead of them. They grew up in a nation that was at war but desperately wanted peace. It is a peace they did not live to see, nor will others their age if action is not taken.

The Obama administration responded with its condolences to the families and to the state of Israel, as well it should have. But it also called, as it always does in situations like this, for restraint on the part of Israel.

How many times must Israel hear this call? Children are murdered — please show restraint. Cafés and buses are bombed — please show restraint. Towns are victimized by hundreds of rockets — please show restraint while you bury your dead once again.

I think it is clear by now: Israel has shown remarkable restraint. It possesses a military with clear superiority over that of its Palestinian neighbors, yet it does not respond to threat after threat, provocation after provocation, with the type of force that would decisively end their conflict. But sometimes restraint can work against you. Sometimes you just have to say, enough is enough.

Arabs are destroying whatever is left of the system that served them. Images capture the scope of damage caused by rioting, which will take months to repair; 'price tag' calls 'death to the Jews.'

As large-scale Arab riots continue to rage in Jerusalem for the third day running on Friday, newly released video and photographic evidence shows just how destructive the violence has been.

Arab mobs threw rocks, Molotov cocktails and firebombs at police starting Wednesday, after an Arab youth was found murdered; claims of Jewish "revenge" for the murder of three Israel teens sparked violence, despite the total lack of evidence for such claims.

Video taken from inside an IDF vehicle traveling along the Light Rail lines in north-eastern Jerusalem shows just how extensive the damage has been, highlighting the three stations that were destroyed by the riots on Wednesday.

The wanton destruction is likely to have a long-term negative economic impact on the affected communities where the rioters themselves live.

Officials have assessed that the three destroyed Light Rail stations will likely take months to repair, in the meantime cutting off transportation to the Arab neighborhoods of Shuafat and Beit Hanina, where much of the rioting has been centered, among others.

The Jewish neighborhood of Pisgat Ze'ev to the north is likewise affected by the blow to transportation, although alternate means such as bus routes remain functional there.

Pictures from one of the destroyed stations with its torched ticket machines reveal Arab "price tag" vandalism, with the words "price tag" and "death to Israel, death to the Jews" scrawled in Hebrew on it in red paint. (There are those who claim past "price tag" vandalism was mostly staged by Arabs to incite against right-wing Jews.)

Severe damage was also inflicted on the tracks themselves, with the rubber components being set on fire by Arab rioters, along with the destruction of traffic lights and various electricity and communications facilities. Other images show yet more of the bombed-out stations, the tracks as they burn and the damage to them, as well as sewer holes wrenched open.

The stunning set of photographs was taken by 27-year-old photographer Stefano Garau who captured the incredible moment from the balcony of his house after noticing the storm moving in fast.

WOOD PULP IN YOUR BURGER, CHEESE, FRIES, AND OTHER FOODS? - YES, it's added under "powdered cellulose" and other aliases - It does not add to taste, but to profits

Let’s go ahead and assume that wood pulp is a safe thing to consume, it certainly seems to have no nutritional value whatsoever.

So why are companies inserting it into food items? To mask inflation and earn more profits most likely.

From a Quartz article quoted by Zero Hedge:

There may be more fiber in your food than you realized. Burger King, McDonald’s and other fast food companies list in the ingredients of several of their foods, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) or “powdered cellulose” as components of their menu items. Or, in plain English, wood pulp.

SATIRE - HUNDREDS INJURED IN JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS ABOUT MURDER OF ARAB TEEN IN ISRAEL

The following is a humorous satire by PreOccupied Territories website

Muhammad Abu Khdeir

Jerusalem, July 3 – More than 800 commentators, politicians, and other public figures needed medical treatment yesterday when they suffered various injuries incurred while jumping to conclusions over the abduction and murder of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, 16, whose body was found in the Jerusalem forest Wednesday morning.

Hospitals reported admitting hundreds of patients for jumping-related injuries yesterday and today, with the most common conclusion that Muhammad had been kidnapped and murdered in revenge for the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens nearly three weeks ago. Their bodies were found on Monday, and buried side-by-side Tuesday.

Less common conclusions included that the boy was murdered by family members. Rumors swirled yesterday, also causing several head injuries, regarding the possibility that Muhammad was killed over suspected homosexuality. Police have declined to comment on the progress of the investigation, if any.

U.S. NUCLEAR SITES VULNERABLE TO TERROR ATTACK DUE TO REDUCED SECURITY IN COST-SAVING MEASURES - NNSA officials describe security policy as chaotic and dysfuntional

By Adam Kredo - The Free Beacon

The organization responsible for securing America’s highly sensitive nuclear sites has been suffering from a “chaotic” and “dysfunctional” security policy that has endangered the country’s nuclear sites and left them vulnerable to attack, according to a new report by the government’s watchdog group.

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which is tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile and securing classified research sites, has “increased risks and reduced security” over the past several years in a bid to reduce overhead costs, according to a new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report.

Security vulnerabilities at these NNSA sites still persist two years after a major breach at one of its top facilities in Tennessee. The administration’s own officials have described the security policy as “chaotic” and “dysfunctional,” according to the report.

ISRAEL - THE RUSH TO JUDGMENT - A 16-year-old Arab boy is found murdered - Arabs riot and the world assume the Jews are to blame

When three Jewish teens were kidnapped recently, foreign government officials and international organizations refrained from blaming the Arabs. They wanted more evidence. But when the victim is an Arab there is instant unanimity: The Jews did it. And we're still waiting for the US government to call on the Arabs for "restraint".

In the aftermath of the grim finding of the remains of three Jewish kidnapped teenage boys and the release of a recording one of them made to police, there was no doubt about what happened and that Arabs were the perpetrators. The government has even pinpointed suspicions on one particular Arab who is on the run.

Then the body of an Arab adolescent was found. Arabs were quick to announce he had been kidnapped by Jews and murdered as an act of revenge.

But even before this latest killing Arabs were setting the outskirts of Jerusalem on fire.

ISRAEL - THE PALESTINIAN KIDNAPPER'S MURDEROUS TRIBE - The long record of crime and terror of the Qawasameh tribe

The murderous Qawasameh tribe

The Palestinian Qawasameh family, which includes suspected kidnapper Marwan Qawasameh, has a long tradition of terror:

The Hamas in Hebron is led by a family from the Qawasameh tribe. Two of its prominent leaders, Abbedalla Qawasameh and Bassal Qawasameh were suspected of/involved in many terrorist attacks, including the Jerusalem bus 14A massacre and Jerusalem bus 2 massacre, which claimed the lives of 40 Israelis. They were later killed by Yamam and IDF forces.

Shlomi Eldar writes a well-researched article in Al Monitor where he argues that the Qawasameh clan has a long tradition of ignoring Hamas leadership attempts at ceasefires with Israel, calling them a "rogue Hamas branch":

Though the clan is known for identifying with Hamas, it also has a well-earned reputation as troublemakers. Not only does it tend to ignore the movement’s leaders. It even acts counter to the policies being advocated by the movement.

DO PLANTS HAVE INTELLIGENCE? Latest research indicates they do

Plants have between 15 and 20 senses, some of them analogous to our five senses. ~~~ Plants are able to sense and respond to light, water, gravity, temperature, soil structure, nutrients, toxins, microbes, herbivores, and chemical signals from other plants. This could not be done without an informational processing system. ~~~ They can form alliances with insects to use them as bodyguards, and when threatened by predators, they can summon them by using chemical signals. ~~~ They can get useful insects hooked on the drugs they make. ~~~ They use chemical warfare to fight enemies. ~~~ READ MORE fascinating facts about plant intelligence by clicking on these flowers..

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MENTAL ILLNESS AND ISLAM - What science says about it

The sciences of GENETICS and EPIGENTICS demonstrate that human EVOLUTION is still ongoing. ~~~ Changes in the human genome occur as a result of many factors in the physical and cultural environment. ~~~ Studies demonstrate that GENETIC CHANGES occur even during the lifetime of a person, and they can be inherited by their children. ~~~ In the case of ISLAM we have to consider 14 centuries of harsh indoctrination and cultural violence, repressed normal sexuality, and a lifestyle rooted in 7th century Arabia, in sharp conflict with 21st century science and culture. ~~~ MUSLIM UPBRINGING includes mental and physical abuse, and often sexual abuse of boys and girls as well. - The INBREEDING factor is also significant. Marriages to first cousins are very common, resulting too often in children with physical and mental disabilities. ~~~ The incidence of MENTAL ILLNESS and mental disability among Muslims has been all but ignored by countries that are importing millions of Muslim migrants. - This genetic factor may explain why second and third generation of Western Muslims have difficulty controliing emotions, and sometimes engage in actions of extreme violence.

EARTH GRAVITY WAVES RIPPLING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE

The upper atmosphere is not only disturbed by SOLAR storms but by EARTH gravity waves as well - Gravity waves are born when air masses are pushed up or down by a thunderstorm, perhaps, or when wind is forced up and over a mountain range. When they reach the upper atmosphere these waves have built in amplitude and extent. They can dominate atmospheric processes sometimes threatening the reliability of Earth-based communication systems. - CLICK on image to read more and watch video of computer-generated model of gravity waves.

WHAT EARTHQUAKE AND OTHER DISASTER EXPERTS DON'T TELL YOU ABOUT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

READ ABOUT THE BIG ONE. Also, whether as a result of a mega-earthquake, large tsunami, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event (from a giant solar flare or from a terror attack that would fry the power grid), NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS ARE VERY VULNERABLE TO MELTDOWN ~~~ A sustained electric power failure lasting several days would leave nuclear power plants unable to operate, unleashing a full meltdown.~~~~~ We already saw how a well-prepared country like JAPAN has been unable to bring its FUKUSHIMA nuclear power plant under control after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, leading to a meltdown. JAPAN will continue to dump millions of gallons of extremely radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean for at least the rest of this century. ~~~ READ ABOUT PREPAREDNESS for you and your PETS.~~~ CLICK ON IMAGE to read more

BRITISH TAXPAYERS OUTRAGED at EU spending their money building ILLEGAL ARAB SETTLEMENTS in Israel

FOR SEVEN YEARS ISRAELI AUTHORITIES HAVE DONE NOTHING to stop the EU building of illegal Arab settlements on Jewish land ~~~~~ While Israel has frozen construction across the Green Line, and razes the tiniest house addition or Jewish unauthorized outposts on the hills, Arabs keep building ILLEGAL SETLEMENTS with impunity, and with the funding and assistance of the European Union. Those settlements are in internationally-recognized Israeli land (Area C), thus the EU is not only violating Israeli sovereignty, but its own diplomatic rules of operation in foreign countries. - These illegal Arab settlements are meant to be FACTS ON THE GROUND for the eventual Muslim takeover of Jewish land - EUROPEANS DID NOT WANT JEWS IN EUROPE and murdered MILLIONS of them. Now they don't want Jews in their ancient homeland of ISRAEL either, call them "occupiers," and demand that the land be given to descendants of Muslims who invaded Israel in the 7th century. - The EU (inspired by the Nazi boycotts against Jews) already labels and boycotts products from the Jewish heartland - THE EU WAR AGAINST THE JEWS persists as they contract out the Arabs to continue Hitler's mission of killing Jews. Europe and the United States are the main funders of the Palestinian Authority, contributing to salaries paid to terrorists who murder innocent Israelis..CLICK ON IMAGE TO READ ARTICLE AND WATCH VIDEO

SATIRE - WHAT THE U.S. AND EU REALLY MEAN BY LAND FOR PEACE

Europe and the US commiserate for the loss of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust. - But they obsessively demand that Israel be partitioned along borders only 9 miles wide at their narrowest point. - These borders and the creation of ANOTHER ARAB TERROR STATE under ISIS or Iran's influence will certainly lead to a Holocaust of 6 million Israeli Jews. - On this SATIRE White House aides promise that if the Arabs massacre the Jews in a shrunk Israel, Israelis should take comfort in the fact that the world will have an annual commemoration of their sacrifice for peace. - Image from Israel Matzav blog - CLICK on picture to read article.

IF JESUS LIVED IN JUDEA TODAY

Jesus would be called a "SETTLER" and Arabs would deny him access to Temple Mount (where Muslim conquerors erected a mosque), and to much of Judea and Samaria (West Bank), today under the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA) where no Jews are allowed. ~~~ Jews who have ventured into the PA have been LYNCHED. ~~~ Jesus would not be safe anywhere in Israel. He would be pelted with ROCKS or STABBED for being a "settler". Or he would be DECAPITATED, as Arabs did to four rabbis praying at a Jerusalem synagogue in 2014. ~~~ If Jesus were a child he would be BURNED BY FIREBOMBS (as Arabs did to a child in December 2014), or have his THROAT SLASHED in his own home, as Arabs did to the Fogel children. ~~~ CLICK on image to read more about the Muslim war against Jews and Christians in today's Judea and Samaria.
