On 11 April 2019, WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange was dragged from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London by UK police and arrested for breaching a bail condition. See ‘Arrest update – SW1’. Upon arrival at a London police station, Julian was ‘further arrested’ on behalf of the United States government to satisfy an extradition warrant under Section 73 of the UK Extradition Act. See ‘UPDATE: Arrest of Julian Assange’.
Most people realize how Big Pharma's greedy drug pricing raises our health care costs. Fewer are aware of how the greedy drug pricing also raise our taxes.
Ohio Governer Mike Dewine signed into law Senate Bill 23 Thursday which effectively bans abortion for the vast majority of the tens of thousands of Ohio women who currently seek abortion yearly.
Dubbed by supporters as a “heartbeat bill,” the law abolishes abortion once a heartbeat is detected in the fetus, which is at 5 ½ or 6 weeks after gestation, before many women know they are pregnant, and earlier than most women are currently able to access abortion.
The bill makes no exception for women who have been raped, but provides an exception if a women’s health is at risk.
Freda Levenson, the Legal Director of ACLU of Ohio, said the ACLU will sue, and expects the courts to rule in their favor, and if it is appealed they will continue to fight the case. Levenson pointed to the fact that multiple other states have passed similar bills and they have all been struck down by the courts.
This article explains, at least partially, the steadily enlarging numbers of learning disabled, intellectually-disabled, behaviorally-disordered, autism spectrum disordered children that come out of the large populations of fully vaccinated (and therefore over-vaccinated) infants and children (with thimerosal/mercury brain toxicity syndromes and/or aluminum adjuvanted vaccine-induced toxic encephalopathies and/or live vaccine virus-induced measles infectious encephalopathies.
These poor Big Pharma/Big Medicine corporation-damaged kids are now mostly chronically ill, over-medicated children that never made it past pre-school and are now institutionalized or ”living” at “home” under their parent’s 24 hour care-giving (80% of those parents get divorced due to the extreme stress).
The statistics-based predictions are that, if the over-vaccinating of America’s children with neurotoxic and autoimmunity-inducing vaccine ingredients doesn’t dramativally decrease soon, the incidence of autism among America’s fully-vaccinated children will approach 50% within the decade!
The Actors’ Gang’s One Act Festival includes a show featuring two one-act plays by 20th century maestros of the avant-garde stage. Irish bard Samuel Beckett was a pioneer of the Theatre of the Absurd and best known for his late 1940s masterpiece Waiting for Godot. Written and performed about a decade later, Krapp’s Last Tape is a one-hander starring the ineffable Steven M. Porter, a 30-year stalwart of The Gang.

Mairead Maguire has requested UK Home Office for permission to visit her friend Julian Assange whom this year she has nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
“I want to visit Julian to see he is receiving medical care and to let him know that there are many people around the world who admire him and are grateful for his courage in trying to stop the wars and end the suffering of others,” Maguire said.
“Thursday 11th April, will go down in history as a dark day for the Rights of humanity, when Julian Assange, a brave and good man, was arrested, by British Metropolitan Police, forcibly removed without prior warning, in a style befitting of a war criminal, from the Ecuadorian Embassy, and bundled into a Police Van,” said Maguire.
The U.S. government gets little credit for it, doesn’t even like to brag about it, but as of 2017 provided military “aid” to 73% of the world’s dictatorships. Ocassionally, the U.S. turns against one of its dictators and chooses that moment to tell everyone about him: Hussein, Noriega, Gadaffi, Assad. Sometimes it loses a dictator for other reasons: the Shah of Iran, Hosni Mubarak.
Sometimes the U.S. imposes a U.S. dictator on a foreign colony: as historically in the Philippines, or Haiti, Chile, or post-“liberation” Iraq. More often it selects and trains, imposes and props up a dictator from within the population of “natives” or “savages.” And sometimes such a dictator spends many years in the United States preparing and awaiting opportunity.
Last month, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro suggested that Omar's hijab may well mean that she opposed the U.S. Constitution. A few days later, New York resident Patrick Carlineo allegedly phoned Omar’s office and threatened to “put a bullet in her f------ skull.”
Carlineo has been arrested. According to the criminal complaint, he told the FBI that "he was a patriot, that he loves the President, and that he hates radical Muslims in our government."

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made the connection between the outlandish media comments and the death threats, tweeting:
"Understand when Jeanine Pirro goes on Fox + rallies people to think hijabs are threatening, it leads to this. Folks who imply we’re ‘bad’ for politics, the party, the country, etc. have no idea the threats we deal w/ because of that kind of language. Talk policy, not personal.”
This is an actual headline at Common Dreams: “Progressive Democrats Threaten to Tank $733 Billion in ‘Crazy’ Pentagon Spending If Social Programs Not Also Boosted.”
They keep using that word, “crazy.” I do not think it means what they think it means.
Dumping over $1 trillion per year into the Pentagon plus militarism in other departments eliminates the need for hospitals, schools, parks, and even budget proposals. It kills us all. Our nuclear luck will run out. And if it doesn’t run out soon, the military’s destruction of the climate and our water and air will do us in. While it may be taboo to notice the environmental damage of wars and war preparations, and may be strictly forbidden to become aware of the military budget as the potential source for a serious effort to mitigate the coming environmental collapse, the news is now full of stories of the climate destruction of military bases, which ought to at least make people aware of how many bases there are.
