Many factors are responsible.

| Foreign Affairs › Otto Warmbier Is Dead!!! by wudpeka(op): 5:08am On Jun 20, 2017 |
(CNN)American college student Otto Warmbier only intended to spend five days sightseeing in North Korea in 2016. Instead, he spent 17 months there in detention where his family believes he was tortured into a coma. On Monday, less than a week after returning to the United States with severe brain damage, his family announced Warmbier had "completed his journey home." The 22-year-old died Monday afternoon in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his family at his side. "It would be easy at a moment like this to focus on all that we lost -- future time that won't be spent with a warm, engaging, brilliant young man whose curiosity and enthusiasm for life knew no bounds," his family said. "But we choose to focus on the time we were given to be with this remarkable person." Who is Otto Warmbier? The student's death elicited strong repudiations of the regime from the highest levels of the American government. The news could lead the US to take a tougher line on China, the hermit regime's closest ally, as the two superpowers begin high level talks this week. It also prompted the tour group that facilitated Warmbier's visit to end trips to North Korea for Americans. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who helped push for Warmbier's release, said the United States holds North Korea "accountable" for an unjust imprisonment. The North Korean government said he fell into a coma after contracting botulism and taking a sleeping pill in March 2016. But US doctors said they found no evidence of the illness. "Let us state the facts plainly: Otto Warmbier, an American citizen, was murdered by the Kim Jong Un regime," said US Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona. President Donald Trump condemned the "brutal regime" and lamented the loss of a young man "in the prime of life." "Otto's fate deepens my administration's determination to prevent such tragedies from befalling innocent people at the hands of regimes that do not respect the rule of law or basic human decency. The United States once again condemns the brutality of the North Korean regime as we mourn its latest victim." What is unresponsive wakefulness? Warmbier had not spoken or moved in any purposeful way since his return, a condition his doctors called "unresponsive wakefulness" also known as persistent vegetative state. He had suffered significant brain damage during his imprisonment. The family thanked the staff at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for doing everything they could for their son in his final days. "Unfortunately, the awful torturous mistreatment our son received at the hands of the North Koreans ensured that no other outcome was possible beyond the sad one we experienced today." Trip ends in allegations Otto Warmbier was a University of Virginia student when he was detained in January 2016. He had signed up for a trip to North Korea with Young Pioneer Tours travel group. It was to be a brief stay followed by a visit to Beijing. Is North Korea's tourism industry luring Americans into a trap? But as he tried to depart from Pyongyang's airport, he was stopped in security. According to the North Korean government, Warmbier was detained because he had stolen a political poster from a restricted floor in his hotel. The next time the world saw Warmbier he was distraught, breaking down in front of Korean journalists in a video North Korea released in February 2016. He admitted to the crime and begged for forgiveness. He pleaded to be released. Instead, he was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. His death led Young Pioneer Tours to announce it would no longer offer US citizens trips to North Korea. The group said it was denied requests to meet Warmbier or anyone who'd been in contact with him in Pyongyang, only receiving assurances that he was fine. "The devastating loss of Otto Warmbier's life has led us to reconsider our position on accepting American tourists. There had not been any previous detainment in North Korea that has ended with such tragic finality and we have been struggling to process the result. Now, the assessment of risk for Americans visiting North Korea has become too high." edition.cnn.com/2017/06/19/politics/otto-warmbier-dies/index.html

| Crime › Vehicular Collision Causes Several Casualities In London by wudpeka(op): 6:57am On Jun 19, 2017 |
(CNN)At least one person is dead, and eight are in hospital after a van slammed into crowds of pedestrians in Finsbury Park, north London, just after midnight on Monday morning local time. A 48-year-old male suspect was arrested at the scene, according to London Metropolitan police. UK Prime Minister Theresa May said police are treating the incident "as a potential terrorist attack." Latest developments -- Driver was detained by members of public at the scene before police arrived. -- Investigation of the incident is being carried out by the Counter Terrorism Command.( -- Prime Minister Theresa May to chair an emergency meeting Monday morning -- Muslim Council of Britain releases a statement calling it a "terror attack." Witness Abdikadir Warfa told CNN he saw a van driving at high speed along Seven Sisters Road. He said it turned left into the alleyway and hit a number of people "mostly from the mosque." He saw an old man on the ground and others who were injured, some were "really bad," he said. Warfa said as he attended to the injured his friends pursued the driver who had tried to run away. "The man tried to escape. My friends told me there were two other guys with him but they caught the driver." Attack on worshippers. Islington's Seven Sisters Road, where the incident took place, is home to several mosques, and would have likely been filled with worshipers leaving late-night taraweeh prayers and heading back toward the Finsbury Park Underground Station. A statement released by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) condemned what it described as a "terror attack." "During the night, ordinary British citizens were set upon while they were going about their lives, completing their night worship. My prayers are with the victims and their families," read the statement. Witnesses described seeing between eight to 10 people lying on the ground in front of the Muslim Welfare House on Seven Sisters Road. Ratib Al-Sulaman told CNN he was sitting with friends two minutes away, when an "incident in front of the mosque" occurred. "Some big van ... crushing the people in the mosque. So we just run straight away, I see police, ambulance, people lying on the floor, and a van as well," said Al-Sulaman. "There was three people in the van. One has been arrested and two ran away," he added. The Islington borough of North London, of which Finsbury Park is a part, is home to a large Muslim community. Around 10% of the borough's population is Muslim. Source:edition.cnn.com/2017/06/18/europe/urgent---london-vehicle-collision/index.html |

| Christianity Etc › The 6 Alien Species Currently Fighting For Control Over Earth by wudpeka(op): 10:00pm On Jul 12, 2015 |
The 6 Alien Species Currently Fighting for Control Over Earth Hundreds of sightings, abductions and first-hand accounts have made it possible to distinguish several distinct alien species that have been in cahoots with military forces, deciding our future without ever consulting us. Below are the least obscure ones we could find. 1. The Sirians Hailing from the Sirius B star system, the Sirians are as advanced as they are ancient. Throughout history, they have imparted their knowledge to human civilizations of their choosing. They gifted the ancient Egyptians with medical and astronomical information and the great pyramids and temples are said to have been built with their help. The Mayans also had a special relationship with the Sirians, who shared information with this enigmatic South American civilization. The extraterrestrial originating from Sirius B are believed to have played a part in the disappearance of the Maya, but not before ensuring they left behind amazing artifacts such as the crystal skulls. Another earthly civilization that benefited from the Sirian presence were the Atlanteans; it is believed that during the cataclysmic event that sunk Atlantis, the Sirians were instrumental in leading the rescue operations. Other civilizations have been influenced by the Sirians, the most notable case being that of the Dogon tribe of West Africa. Although they were more involved during our planet’s past, nowadays the Sirians play a more subtle part: technology exchange programs. They are often mentioned in connection with covert or exotic weapons research as well as time travel experimentation. 2. The Short Grays Also known as the Zeta Reticulums, the Grays are some of the most well-known aliens and commonly depicted throughout alien pop culture. They are the authors of most alien abductions. According to most descriptions, they stand 3 to 5 feet tall, have bulbous heads and over-sized black eyes. Although they possess a mouth, they seldom speak, as most communication is carried out telepathically. The short Grays are said to be a genetically-engineered worker race that are controlled by their superiors, the Tall Grays. Their telepathic abilities allow them to constitute a type of hive mind consciousness. Being genetically-designed to carried out scientific missions, the short Grays are emotionless and cruel. They are also responsible for creating a human-gray hybrid race. 3. The Tall Grays Standing 7 to 8 feet tall, the Gray Masters are the ambassadors of most meetings between human and alien forces. They are always present at any diplomatic agreements with the global shadow government. Sources claim they originate from a star system in the Orion constellation. The Tall Grays supervise all abductions and human experiments but are seldom present during these events. They prefer to employ the services of their minions, the Short Grays. As it would seem, they are keen on developing a stable human-gray hybrid race, one worthy of inheriting Earth. An advanced, self-centered race, they place little value on human life. They consider us their property. 4. The Alpha-Draconians Corrupt and vicious, the Alpha-Draconians have infiltrated human society thousands of years ago. Although they came to Earth from their colonies on Alpha Draconis, their original home world is unknown. A decidedly giant reptilian species, they measure anywhere from 14 to 22 feet tall. Weighing an estimated 1,800 pounds, their muscular bodies are covered in green or brown scaly skin. They are an intelligent race, with large heads and reptilian eyes. Some accounts describe them as having tails or even wings. Contactee Alex Collier says he was allowed to share some details about these extraterrestrials: The Draconians are the force behind the repression of human populations everywhere in this galaxy, instilling fear-based belief systems and restrictive hierarchies. They’re extremely clairvoyant and extremely clever, and they can also be extremely sinister.” The Draconians view themselves as the first intelligent species to evolve in the Milky Way galaxy. Competitive and expansive, they have populated many worlds. Their immense egos allows them to see themselves as the rightful rulers of lesser evolved worlds such as Earth. Their continuous exploitation of the human race proves they consider us an inferior species. Reports say there are actually two types of Alpha-Draconians divided into two castes: the giant ones are part of a royal caste called the Ciakar while the smaller ones (8 feet tall) form a well-trained warrior class. 5. The Native Reptilians Often confused with the warrior caste of the Alpha Draconians, these reptilians are said to be native to Earth. The little information available for this species states that they were originally left behind by the Alpha-Draconians to colonize Earth. Their interaction with mankind goes back thousands of years, sometimes offering assistance but more often than not using us as a commodity. They have infiltrated almost all aspects of human life and hold positions of power. Reptilians manipulate our elites and rule our institutions and organizations. They built the financial system and influence all religions. The underground reptilian race is also said to control the media and all corporations. They are behind most crimes against humanity. 6. The Anunnaki An elite race of beings that originated in another galaxy they called Illyuwn. Their home world was a planet called Rizq. When Rizq was destroyed, they built an intergalactic vessel they named Nibiru. Before heading to Earth, the Anunnaki colonized the planets in the Orion star system. They arrived on Earth almost a million years ago, in search of gold and other valuable minerals that were scarce in the universe, but abundant here. In need of a workforce, they are said to have created mankind. Through genetic manipulation and in vitro fertilization, they upgraded the genus Homo to sapiens quality. Present on Earth since our inception, the Anunnaki have influenced every aspect of human life. We’ve inherited their patriarchal culture of violence and vengeance, it’s in our engineered DNA. The Anunnaki are in direct competition with the Draconians for control over mankind. http://worldtruth.tv/the-6-alien-species-currently-fighting-for-control-over-earth/

| Romance › Nigerian Men Are The Biggest Liars In Africa- Yvonne Nelson by wudpeka(op): 4:28pm On Jul 09, 2015 |
Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has fired a shot at Nigerian men by declaring that they are the biggest liars in the continent. Yvonne, 29, told Genevieve Magazine when she was asked about when her next relationship will come. She said ” I don’t know yet. I can’t say I want a Nigerian, or a Gambian or a Cameroonian. When it happens, it happens. But Nigerian men can lie. Nigerian guys can lie for the whole of Africa. They will come with all the lies because they know that women respond to the things they hear. The lies are just so crazy. And I’m not some 19 year-old who just wants to have fun. I’m not in that place anymore. So I’m taking my time to get it right.” http://tiwasblog.co/2015/09/yvonne-nelson-says-nigerian-men-are-the-biggest-liars-in-africa-as-she-finds-new-love/ |
