In a measure called Senate Concurrent Resolution 43, Oklahoma lawmakers accused the Obama administration of overreaching its authority by issuing a directive last week stating that US schools risk losing federal funding if they don’t allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice. The measure states that the order “clearly and unequivocally exceeds the authority of the federal government.”

It also calls on US House representatives from Oklahoma “to file articles of impeachment against the President of the United States, the Attorney General of the United States, the Secretary of Education, and any other federal official liable to impeachment who has exceeded his or her constitutional authority.”

The lawmakers argue that the Constitution does not give the executive branch authority over public school systems or the use of their restrooms or shower facilities. State Representative John Bennett, who wrote the resolution, said the federal government’s direction was “biblically wrong.” “Our phones and emails are being flooded by citizens who are enraged by this president’s attempt to use our children as pawns in a liberal agenda,” he said in a statement. “This directive is biblically wrong, a violation of our state’s sovereignty and it is a serious public safety issue. We are going to do everything we can to protect our women and children.” Even if the bill passes, however, impeachment would be unlikely, as the measure is non-binding, as reported by Reuters.

Gosling says the EU is trying to unify Europe in an attempt to create a “United States of Europe,” which is controlled from Brussels with very little democratic accountability. He says no one has elected the people who are running Brussels, adding that, “It is hardly surprising [that] they are working in the interest of big business, not in the interest of ordinary voters around the continent.”

“What is going on in Europe at the moment is that people are getting fed up with what is going on in Brussels and they do not see that it is something that is working for them. So, in a way it is quite natural that the people want to secede,” he says. The analyst further says that the “transatlantic big businesses” are influencing policy in the EU exactly the same way they are doing in the United States.

“What we see today is Brussels and the massive EU bureaucracy, which really does not have much in the way of real democratic accountability... The MEPs that are elected, all they can do is kind of put their finger in the dyke with the legislation, which is drawn up by big business,” he says. Cartwright, for his part, believes the United States wants the UK to remain in the EU so that it would be its “Trojan horse” on foreign policy.

This is all stored, and can easily be used to create a record of everywhere your car has been. Coupled with cellphone and WiFi data being collected along with its own geodata, and tied to things like tracked credit card activity, emails and the now-ubiquitous public surveillance cameras, it is very, very easy for law enforcement to know where you are, where you have been and have a pretty good idea of what you were doing. Run that same process for lots and lots of people, and you can also tell who spent time with whom.

Expand that process nationwide and you truly have a police state. How to do that? Contact a private company called Vigilant Solutions. They collect license plate scanning information from multiple police departments as well as their own network of private plate scanners and facial recognition/facial cataloging technology and then sell it in database form to law enforcement.

The Vigilant database is massive, with over 2.2 billion location data points, and it is growing by almost a million data points per day. The database means, for example, that the New York police can now monitor you and your car whether you live in New York, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, or elsewhere.

The database also boasts a full suite of data analytics tools which allow police officers to track cars historically or in real time, conduct a virtual stakeout, figure out which cars are commonly seen in close proximity to each other, and predict likely locations to find a car. Data, once collected, can exist forever. Whatever it is being used for now, it will also be available for other uses in the future, enhanced by new exploitive technology.

The doctor, not wanting to be called a bigot, proceeds to give the man a fake gynecological exam, playing into his delusional distortions about his own biology and arguably worsening his mental disconnect with his physical self.

This is what transgenderism and "biological subjectivism" has come to in America today... a politically correct demand that everyone agree to participate in the mental distortions of a few individuals who suffer from a psychological disconnect from their biological realities. Such ideologies stand in complete contradiction to the known science on biology and physical reality, and sadly, this mental distortion is now being thrust onto children as part of a sick, demented political agenda to appease the most lunatic fringe elements of the political spectrum.

That agenda now demands that public schools be turned into transgender child factories, churning out confused, suicidal children who are physically and chemically mutilated by a society that applauds them for denying their biological reality. This entire agenda, now being waged against the children of America by politically motivated cultural arsonists, is nothing less than a crime against children.

The science is clear: The biology of gender is a physical reality that's not subject to "impersonation".

The Treasury Department was surprisingly candid in that correspondence, asserting the US Government's authority, in declared emergencies, to confiscate precious metals and to restrict ownership of mining shares - and to confiscate and restrict every other financial asset as well. So perhaps precious metals investors shouldn't feel too paranoid. Confiscation has never seemed to GATA to be a serious or imminent threat.

While the US Government in 1933 did demand the exchange of circulating government-issued coins for paper money (proceeding to devalue the paper money after the gold was surrendered), that gold then was a huge part of the country's money supply, and amid the national economic collapse at that time the government could make a plausible complaint against "hoarding." There are no such circumstances today, gold no longer being in general circulation as currency. (Yes, we're working on that.)

But of course lately the arrogance and imperiousness of the US government has far exceeded even the paranoia of precious metals investors. Certainly capital controls may be imposed in the United States in the next currency crisis, and it's not far from capital controls to even more brutal interventions in the economy.

The Pope also said he “dreaded” hearing about the “Christian roots of Europe” because, to him, they take on “colonialist overtones” and he called on European nations to “integrate” Muslim migrants into the continent. “This integration is all the more necessary today since, as a result of a selfish search for well-being, Europe is experiencing the grave problem of a declining birth rate,” he stated. “A demographic emptiness is developing.”

His opinions are stunningly similar to those of top Iman Sheikh Muhammad Ayed, who said Muslims should exploit the migrant crisis to breed with Europeans and “conquer their countries.” “Europe has become old and decrepit and needs human reinforcement… they are not motivated by compassion for the Levant, its people and its refugees… soon, we will trample them underfoot, Allah willing,” he stated.

“Throughout Europe, all the hearts are enthused with hatred toward Muslims. They wish that we were dead, but they have lost their fertility, so they look for fertility in our midst.” “We will give them fertility! We will breed children with them, because we shall conquer their countries!”

Pope Francis also promoted socialism during the interview.

“A completely free market does not work,” he claimed. “Markets in themselves are good but they also require a fulcrum, a third party, or a state to monitor and balance them.” “In other words, [what is needed is] a social market economy.” It’s been estimated that in the 20th century alone, socialism and communism resulted in the deaths of at least 130 million.

Nonetheless, their aim of creating a United States of Europe, stretching from the Urals in the East to the Atlantic in the West, with Germany as its leader and Great Britain being reduced to a small insignificant Länder on the westernmost fringes of the Germanic empire, remains exactly the same as in all previous incarnations.

There can be no doubt that the EU is now beginning to look frighteningly like the Fourth Reich. Now is the time for people of Great Britain to pull the rug from under the feet of those Europhiles, who are determined to allow the EU Commissars to enforce their rule over us. Boris Johnson’s analysis is absolutely correct.

The epicenter of the first tremor, which happened overnight, was near the fishing village of Mompiche on the Pacific coast, about 368 kilometers from Quito, President Correa said earlier.

The epicenter of the second earthquake, which hit midday, was 82 kilometers south of Esmeraldas on the northwestern coast of the Andean country, the US Geological Survey said. USGS initially gave the second quake a magnitude of 6.9, but then revised the figure down to 6.8. Twitter users posted pictures of the devastation online, claiming that people were trapped under the rubble in a collapsed bank in the city of Portoviejo.

More than 600 people were killed and over 2,500 injured in a 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck off the Ecuadorian coast in April. That quake was followed by a series of strong aftershocks. The disaster ravaged coastal towns and left thousands of households without power.

Although swarms are pretty common around here, this is the biggest one in Hood for a few years. On average, 0 to 3 earthquakes within 10 km of the volcano are recorded each week. Officials say the tremors have been occurring along a fault three miles deep on the south of the volcano. Although the cause of this swarm is still unknown, a series of earthquakes tends to happen on volcanoes as magma and gases navigate beneath the surface.

Mount Hood is a potentially active volcano, the highest peak in Oregon State and sits 75 km ESE of Portland in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of northern Oregon. In the last 1,500 years, Mount Hood has had two major eruptive periods that produced lava domes, pyroclastic flows and mud flows, and minor ash fallout. The most recent major eruptive period began in 1780 and lasted for one to two decades.

The video clip begins with a white student grappling over whether or not to look a person of color in the eyes when he walks past them, whether him crossing the street if he sees a gang of black people ahead will offend them, and whether he should then explain to them why he crossed the street. "There's all of this stuff wrapped up in how we meet or do not meet each other's eyes," states the main speaker. Laughing at Liberals sums up the sheer idiocy of this exchange;

"When you pass a person of color on the street, do you give them the 'white guy smile'? Congratulations, you're racist! If you look at a person of color, you're racist. If you don't look at them, you're racist. If you sort of look at them, then look away, you're still racist. If you keep looking at them, well, damn you, you racist!"

This is yet another illustration of the lunacy of white guilt. So indoctrinated are the students in the narrative that they should make apologies for their skin color, any kind of behavior whatsoever is never enough to atone for their sins. They're even unsure as to whether smiling at someone is offensive.

And what exactly are their sins? As we have documented, white people were victims of the slave trade too, Muslims were far more brutal towards African slaves and white people ended the slave trade at great cost to their own race. There is nothing whatsoever to feel guilty about, but flaunting your white guilt is the ultimate act of virtue signalling, so don't expect the trendies to stop doing it any time soon.

A new IMF proposal shared with Europe late last week goes far beyond what Greece’s eurozone creditors, led by Germany, have said they are willing to do to help the country regain its financial health. Germany is leading the pressure on the IMF to dilute its demands and rejoin the Greek bailout program as a lender.

The IMF wants eurozone countries to accept long delays in the repayment of Greece’s bailout loans, which would fall due in the period from 2040 to 2080 under the proposal, according to officials familiar with the talks.

Greece is entering the seventh year of its troubled bailout still struggling to begin a recovery. The country has largely closed the gaping budget deficit that triggered its debt crisis. But the IMF-European bailout — including austerity measures that in total have amounted to more than 30% of GDP so far — contributed to a 25% decline in the country’s economic output since before the debt crisis.

“People in houses will be hurt by [the] shaking and then a tsunami coming,” says Mr Kawata, an earthquake expert and professor of safety science at Kansai University. Hundreds of thousands of people could die. This is not an alarmist message from a university professor but the Japanese government’s official worst case scenario for a disaster it considers highly likely to occur within the next 30 years: an earthquake of between 8.0 and 9.0 magnitude in the tectonic plate boundary called the Nankai Trough.

The country’s precarious seismology is simple to understand. It sits at the boundary of four tectonic plates, shot through with faults like crazy paving. Those plate boundaries give rise to “megathrust” earthquakes in the seas off Japan’s Pacific coast such as the magnitude 9.0 Tohoku earthquake in March 2011. In the western part of Japan, the plate boundary is marked by an underwater trench called the Nankai Trough. The Sagami Trough runs further east, facing Tokyo.

A large earthquake has struck the Nankai Trough every 100 to 150 years. The trough is split into three main sections, known, from west to east, as Nankai, Tonankai and Tokai; quakes hit the two easterly sections in the mid-1940s, but the Tokai section has been quiet for 158 years. That long and ominous silence has made a Tokai earthquake the most feared and anticipated in Japan.
