Germany: Last week we reported on the rape and murder of 19-year old medical student, Maria Ladenburger, by an Afghan refugee. The refugee has been identified as Hussein Khavari, and claims to be 17-years old. He was jailed in Greece in 2013 for attempting to murder a student by pushing her off a cliff and, at that time, also said he was 17. In Greece he was sentenced to ten years in prison but was released early and allowed to travel to Germany. Information Liberation 2016 Dec 15 (Story) (Cached)

UK: Nigel Farage ridicules the claim by UK labor leaders that Russian cyber hacking and Internet propaganda are responsible for Brexit and that the Russians also are responsible for the influx of refugees in Europe. The truth is that German Chancellor Merkel threw open the door to immigration in Europe and accepted a migrant population of 80% young males who never would have qualified as refugees otherwise. Now the EU wants to get rid of NATO so it can create its own army. The EU also wants Ukraine to join the EU to further provoke Russia. The ploy is to create an enemy hate figure to blame for the EU’s own own failures. Fox News 2016 Dec 15 (Story)

The leftist Southern Poverty Law Center claims that over 1,000 racial and anti-Muslim attacks have occurred since the election. It says that Donald Trump and white supremacists are responsible for the attacks. US Attorney General Loretta Lynch also lashed out at ‘hate crimes’ that she blamed on white supremacists. As most often is the case, there is no proof that these reports are true. In this day when almost everyone has a video-enabled smart phone, acts of violence commonly are recorded by bystanders, Video documentation of the reports from these leftist groups are conspicuously absent.

Radiation from leaking nuclear reactors in Fukushima, Japan, finally reached the shores of the US in Oregon and it less than expected. It is less than one-thousandth the standard for drinking water. Ken Buesseler, a chemical oceanographer, launched a crowd-funded seawater-sampling project, because the US no longer monitors the oceans for radioactivity. UPI 2016 Dec 12 (Story) (Cached)

Maduro is blaming shortages of food and goods on criminals in Columbia who buy cheap Venezuelan currency at the border, use it to buy government-subsidized Venezuelan goods, and then sell them for a profit in Colombia. The real cause of shortages is, not speculators in Columbia, but socialist (collectivist) economic policies in Venezuela. EuroNews 2016 Dec 12 (Story)

Defeat the hidden agenda.
Freedom Force awaits you.

Last month, the Washington Post admitted that its article condemning ‘fake news’ was, itself, fake news. It was based on a report from PropOrNot, an anonymous group that accused more than 200 websites of promoting Russian propaganda to sway the election against Hillary Clinton. Then, the Washington Post admitted it could not vouch for the accuracy of the report, which means it presented the undocumented opinion of an unknown writer as though it were a newsworthy fact. [By so doing, it published fake news, which is the very thing it was condemning. So what else is new?] The Duran posted 2016 Dec 10 (Story) (Cached)
