Julian Assange Marks 5.5 Years Inside Ecuadorean Embassy as UK & US Refuse to Confirm Arrest Warrant
Published on Oct 10, 2017 by Democracy Now!
As we speak with WikiLeaks founder and editor-in-chief Julian Assange, he shares an update on when he may be able to leave the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, where he has sought refuge and political asylum for more than five years. Earlier this year, Swedish prosecutors have dropped an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by Assange, which he denies and calls a pretext for his ultimate extradition to the United States to face prosecution under the Espionage Act. https://www.democracynow.org/2017/10/10/julian_assange_marks_55_years_inside
Julian Assange on Roger Stone & Accusations About WikiLeaks and Trump Campaign Ties to Russia
Published on Oct 10, 2017 by Democracy Now!
Microsoft has joined Facebook in saying it is investigating whether Russian operatives paid for “inappropriate” pro-Trump ads on its Bing search engine and other platforms. Social media giant Facebook has said a Russian company placed thousands of ads on their network at a cost of more than $100,000, including some that targeted states crucial to Trump’s victory. Last week, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee said it reached the conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Meanwhile, CIA Director Mike Pompeo has blasted Wikileaks as a hostile intelligence service that is often abetted by state actors like Russia, and Trump adviser Roger Stone declined to confirm to the House Intelligence Committee that he was directly in contact with WikiLeaks about damaging information on then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. We get response from Julian Assange, the founder and editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks. https://www.democracynow.org/2017/10/10/julian_assange_accusations_of_wikileaks_trump
Judge Denies Bail to Alleged NSA Leaker Reality Winner, Citing Her Admiration for Snowden & Assange
Published on Oct 10, 2017 by Democracy Now!
Last Thursday, a federal judge denied a second request for bail from Reality Winner, the former National Security Agency contractor who is accused of violating the Espionage Act. Winner allegedly passed a top-secret document to The Intercept that claimed Russian military intelligence conducted a cyberattack on at least one U.S. voting software company just days before the 2016 election. Federal Judge Brian Epps of Augusta, Georgia, said his decision to deny bail was based in part on social media comments by Winner that she “admires Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.” https://www.democracynow.org/2017/10/10/judge_denies_bail_to_whistleblower_reality
New Yorkers Call for Indigenous Peoples’ Day & Removal of Columbus Statue
Published on Oct 10, 2017 by Democracy Now!
More than 50 U.S. cities celebrated Indigenous Peoples’ Day Monday in place of the federal holiday honoring Christopher Columbus, the Italian explorer who massacred and enslaved Arawak indigenous people while opening the door to the European colonization of the Americas. In New York City, protesters rallied at a 115-year-old statue of Christopher Columbus near Central Park, calling for its removal and for the city to make the second Monday of each October Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The protest came as the New York Police Department ringed the statue in metal barricades and said it was providing round-the-clock surveillance of the monument. Democracy Now! was there to speak with demonstrators. Special thanks to producer Andre Lewis. https://www.democracynow.org/2017/10/10/new_yorkers_protest_for_removal_of
Full Broadcast 10Oct17 Real News with David Knight GUESTS: • Michael Maharrey — for trying to get information about local police surveillance (being driven by the federal govt) Maharrey was not just stonewalled, but sued by the local agency. It is happening all across the country. TOPICS: • Columbus Day 2017 and Columbus statues were vandalized, protected by police, or fenced in and draped in white like a KKK member depending on the city. But was slavery unique to Western European civilization? • The GOP Civil War has already begun. Bob Corker has signaled his intention to block tax reform and Steve Bannon will primary nearly every establishment GOP senator. • The swift and deadly California and western wildfires have been blamed by the Washington state governor on man-made climate change. But it is man-made government policy by design. • Mainstream media is looking to the FBI for answers on the Las Vegas shooting, but the FBI is looking for 2 piglets and conducting a multi-state search complete with SWAT teams. This is NOT the Onion.

Son of Senate candidate Roy Moore arrested in Alabama - AP The son of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore has been arrested in Alabama on a misdemeanor charge linked to allegations of illegal hunting. Etowah County Sheriff's spokeswoman Natalie Barton tells news outlets 27-year-old Caleb Moore surrendered Monday on a charge of third-degree criminal trespass. He was accused of hunting without permission and hunting over bait last year. Barton says Caleb Moore was released on $1,000 bond. Moore's campaign issued a statement calling the arrest a "cheap political trick." Caleb Moore was arrested on drug charges in 2015, but those were dropped after he entered a pre-trial diversion program. Roy Moore is facing Democrat Doug Jones in the special election for the U.S. Senate on Dec. 12. Moore is a former Alabama chief justice who's been removed from office twice. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/son-senate-candidate-roy-moore-arrested-alabama-50387883 original https://www.apnews.com/8fa7f1e401024e039bd0ed07b793dff1/Son-of-Senate-candidate-Roy-Moore-arrested-in-Alabama

Please stop annoying this NASA scientist with your ridiculous Planet X doomsday theories
By Avi Selk November 18 at 2:27 PM
[VIDEO] - NASA senior scientist David Morrison explains why there is no such thing as a planet called Nibiru. (NASA)
David Morrison is a real NASA scientist who studies real planets and makes real discoveries about the real universe.
[...]
Morrison laid out a detailed explanation, which he would repeat in years to come: There is no evidence that Nibiru exists; if it did exist, it would have screwed up the outer planets’ orbits long ago; and people have predicted its arrival before and been wrong.
Of course, logic didn’t work.
David Morrison's plea is the result of the victims of paranoia, distrust of the scientific expertise of the science culture, and a plaintive letter from a scared 12-y old girl.
Scum such as 'anything-for-a-buck' Alex Jones has a lot to answer for. He fucks with the heads of susceptible adults, and so with the heads of vulnerable children.
