The Ministry of Defense (MoD) in an “urgent action bulletin” published today states that President Putin has ordered over 3 million regular and reserve military forcesto their highest alert status, and further ordered the defense-industrial complex to immediately and drastically increase the production of missiles manufactured for air defense and missile defense complexes by 200%, over fears relating to what the MoD calls “unprovoked” attacks upon the Federation by an advanced United States “hypercraft” (interdimensional/space) weapon.
Due to the unprecedented scale of this vast military order, this bulletin says, President Putin earlier today, also, publically warned the Federation citizens by stating: “This year’s forthcoming large-scale checks will encompass all military districts and types of troops.”
Necessitating the urgent need of this historic military action, the MoD says, was an “appearance” over the Federation-protected nation of the Republic of Kazakhstanthis past week of an advanced US “hypercraft”, which was captured on video, and deemed by the Kremlin to be an “unprovoked attack”.

Important to note, this MoD bulletin continues, was this past weeks US attack was the second such “incident” of its kind in the past six months, the first being when one of these “hypercrafts” appeared over Yekaterinburg in the Sverdlovsk Oblast on 14 November 2014, and which was then immediately destroyed in a massive counter missile attack which resulted in a near cataclysmic explosion.

MoD experts in this bulletin note that the first recorded “appearance” of this US “hypercraft” weapon was on 17 October 2013 as it was conducting aerial maneuvers near MacDill Air Force Base (MDAFB) in central Florida and alarmed many citizens of this area, many of whom took photographs of its telltale “black smoke ring” vortex contrail.
The second recorded “appearance” of this US “hypercraft” weapon, these MoD experts state, was on 13 April 2014 in the skies over Royal Leamington Spa, in the United Kingdom, near the highly secretive US Air Force space communication base at RAF Barford St John where, like the previous year in Florida, its telltale “black smoke ring” vortex contrail was left hanging visibly in the sky.

Enabling the 14 November 2014 shootdown by Federation defense forces of one of these US “hypercraft” weapons over Yekaterinburg, this MoD bulletin explains, was due to the uncovering by MoD scientists of the “supercavitation” propulsion system it uses based upon what is commonly referred to as the “toroidal vortex effect”…which, most simply put, allows a space vehicle to, literally, “swim through the sky”, and, perhaps, interdimensionaly too.
And to how exactly close the Federation-US are to war, this MoD bulletin grimly points out, the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has also reported that their EMP attack against Washington D.C. on Tuesday, which crippled many American government buildings, including the White House, was a “successful retaliation” for a similar EMP attack by the US upon Federation computer servers on 16 March located in Stavropol, in the Stavropol Krai Federal District, and which was captured on video.

Though not mentioned in this report, it is interesting to note that immediately following the SVR’s EMP attack Washington D.C., the US military command that scans North America’s skies for enemy missiles and aircraft announced its plans to move its communications gear to its Cold War-era mountain bunker Cheyenne Mountain base in Colorado designed to safeguard their command’s sensitive sensors and servers from a potential electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.

American Dream? More like the American Horror. A Texas PREGNANT woman who so happens to be a decorated US Air Force Veteran in Iraq has been beaten inside her own house, arrested, for 6 days in jail, had her kids basically kidnapped by the communist-like American Child Protection Services. And on top of that she was charged with “assaulting police officers” and basically not willingly allowing her child to be stolen away forever by the authorities. Why? Just because she had a shoving episode with her husband. One of the kids then told the teacher at school about his parents fighting, then the moronic teacher called in the CPS.
Stories like this were actually quite common back in the Soviet Union, yet Texas conservatives such as Alex Jones would have you believe America is the incarnation of the Third Reich when in fact modern America is clearly slowly sliding towards an incarnation of the bolshevik-communistic Soviet Union where children were rewarded for denouncing their parents to teachers, had them removed from their parents and had their parents either arrested and sent to Gulags or simply executed.
The United Kingdom, like most of the anglosphere countries is also following the same trend. However parents in the UK have started to move to Ireland where things are still more normal. Americans on the other hand, no matter what their authorities do to them, they almost never leave their country. They somehow falsely believe that America is the only country on the planet where they can live their lives.
Thanks to a surveillance system in her parents’ home, a video has been published online that appears to prove her allegations. An investigation is under way.
The Hunt County sheriff’s deputy has been identified as one of several officers who stood in the woman’s home in Quinlan on the evening of March 4. Two officers can be seen keeping Deanna Robinson in the corner of her kitchen, next to the counter, restraining her, as her 18-month-old toddler watched.
Next, the deputy can clearly be seen taking at least two quick punches at Robinson, who wouldn’t stop yelling. This was after she shouted, “I’m pregnant.” She was handcuffed during this, she told the attorney’s office on Monday, according to WFAA.
Robinson, 38, is a decorated Air Force veteran and recipient of the Airman’s Medal for the time she pulled her colleagues out of a burning plane in Iraq. She now lives in Quinlan, with another infant and three step children, aged six to nine. But her marriage had been undergoing a turbulent period lately, which culminated in a shoving match with her husband several days prior to the incident.
Apparently, one of the kids told a teacher at school, who then reported the couple to Child Protection Services. She was arrested on March 4 on charges of resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and interference with child custody, and spent some six days in jail.
The court case was over her 18-month-old son, Landry. The rest of the children are now in protective custody, while the infant son, Levi, who was born less than a week after her release from custody, is with grandparents.
That evening, child services officials showed up at Robinson’s home, accompanied by sheriff’s deputies, to take Landry away.
“I’m 38 weeks pregnant, and with my stomach again repeatedly pressed into that counter, and with my 18-month old son watching his mother be assaulted, and him screaming in fear,” she says. “There’s nothing that warrants what they did to me.”
She remembers the officers telling her ‘We’re here to remove your son,’ and her replying, ‘Nobody is touching my kid without a court order or a warrant.’ The officers reportedly did not present any papers and, when she tried to shut the door on them, forced their way in.
Deanna Jo Robinson
Robinson says her stomach hit the kitchen counter repeatedly during the incident, causing heavy bruising.
Robinson received the Air Force’s highest honor, the Airman’s Medal, after helping drag several soldiers from a burning plane in Iraq.
She tells WFAA: “I’m positioning myself in front of my child as the officers are screaming, ‘There’s the kid, grab him!’” That’s when they proceeded to handcuff her as she was pressed up against the kitchen surface.
The police, however, had a different narrative to the story: that Robinson was reaching for a weapon. The evidence will be reviewed to establish the truth. The sheriff later told reporters he was not sure what went down, but that the unidentified deputy said Robinson had loosened his ammunition belt in the chaos.
In the video, Robinson can be seen struggling with the officers, something she only says she did because the pressure they were applying when pressing into her was hurting her unborn child.
She later told reporters the officers hit her five or six times. The video cuts off just before the deputy’s hand comes down on her a second time. Robinson also reported lingering pain for weeks, and her stomach appears to show bruising from the incident.
She’s thankful Levi is a healthy child. “It certainly could have turned out differently.” She says she misses her kids very much and that she’ll be pushing for the officer responsible for hitting her repeatedly to be fired.
Dozens of calls came to the sheriff’s department following the release of the video. Hundreds of concerned citizens also posted on the department’s Facebook page, voicing outrage, while the town of Quinlan also saw people go out on to the streets, encouraging others to view the video.
The sheriff department’s Facebook page showed a statement from Sheriff Randy Meeks, saying that all such cases are handled with the utmost seriousness and that an investigation is under way to determine “if any violations occurred.” He promised to make the findings public.
Robinson’s attorney Carol Gustin told reporters “There’s no reason in my mind that an officer should pull his hand up above his body and hit a pregnant woman multiple times. Law officers are there to protect and serve. Where was the protection for her and this baby?”
Her other attorney, Scott Cornuaud, believes Child Protective Services is to blame for involving the police at all. “They’re out of control. There’s no oversight. They went about it the wrong way.”
CPS was onsite when the incident with the police took place. Cornuaud wonders why they did not intervene when a pregnant woman was being hit.
The services offered no comment on this.

Assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Duke University Charles Gersbach
Researchers have gained control of gene activity through the synthetic creation of a key component of the epigenome that controls gene expression.
The research was carried out by a group of scientists from the Duke University and published in the online journal Nature Biotechnology on Monday.
“The epigenome is everything associated with the genome other than the actual genetic sequence, and is just as important as our DNA in determining cell function in healthy and diseased conditions,” said Charles Gersbach, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. “…. The epigenome determines which genes each cell activates and to what degree.”
According to the group, the newly developed technology permits them to activate specific gene promoters and enhancers through the chemical manipulation of proteins which package DNA.
“Next to every gene is a DNA sequence called a promoter that controls its activity,” said Gersbach. “But there’s also many other pieces of the genome called enhancers that aren’t next to any genes at all, and yet they play a critical role in influencing gene activity too.”
The team activated the enhancers by chemically altering the histones, DNA packaging proteins, at the enhancers to turn them on.
“There are already drugs that will affect enhancers across the whole genome, but that’s like scorching the earth,” said Timothy Reddy, an assistant professor of biostatistics and bioinformatics at Duke. “I wanted to develop tools to go in and modify very specific epigenetic marks in very specific places to find out what individual enhancers are doing.”
The group says that the ability to manipulate the epigenome will help them explore the roles that particular promoters and enhancers have in cell fate or the risks for genetic disease. It also helps in gene therapy and stem cell differentiation.

Cops are 25 times less likely to shoot unarmed blacks than whites or Hispanics, according to a little-known study which makes the South Carolina police shooting of an unarmed, fleeing black man even more egregious than before, if that’s even possible.
The study by Washington State University-Spokane, which barely received any news coverage, found that police were more likely to hesitate when shooting a black suspect due to “real-world concern over discipline, liability or public disapproval.”
“We found that [the all-white] participants took longer to shoot black suspects than white or Hispanic suspects,” the researchers reported. “In addition, where errors were made, participants across experiments were more likely to shoot unarmed white suspects than unarmed black or Hispanic suspects, and were more likely to fail to shoot armed black suspects than armed white or Hispanic suspects.”
“In sum, this research found that participants displayed significant bias favoring black suspects in their decisions to shoot.”
The researchers gave 36 white police officers a Glock 21 modified to shoot a laser beam and had them take part in a series of 10 “highly realistic” video scenarios based on actual encounters with suspects in which police were assaulted or killed.
“Black, white and Hispanic suspects appeared in the scenarios proportional to their involvement in actual attacks on officers, as compiled in FBI statistics,” Policeone.com said about the study. “Suspects were unarmed in about a third of the scenarios.”
Not only did the officers take significantly longer to shoot black suspects, but they were also “25 times less likely to shoot unarmed black suspects than they were to shoot unarmed white suspects,” the researchers stated.
While this study shouldn’t be used to discount the numerous police shootings of non-threatening black suspects, especially after S.C. officer Michael T. Slager shot a fleeing, unarmed black man on Saturday, it does reveal that many cops fear being publicly crucified or labeled racist for justifiably shooting a suspect.
And this fear is also keeping a lot of would-be police officers from pursuing careers in law enforcement.
“I think they realize that what they do would be so scrutinized to the point it’s not worth the trouble, and it’s not worth the headache… to become involved in the field,” West Virginia sheriff Mike Rutherford told the The Charleston Gazette. “Quite often, people question you and call you everything under the sun, including a racist, simply because you make an arrest.”

A demonstrator clashes with military police officers during a protest in Brazil’s capital city of Brasilia on April 7, 2015.
Thousands of workers have staged rallies across a dozen cities in Brazil to protest against a proposed law that would allow companies to outsource jobs.
The Tuesday rallies were organized by the Central Workers Union (CTB), Brazil’s largest labor union umbrella organization, ahead of an expected vote by lawmakers on the measure.
Approximately 3,000 demonstrators showed up in front of the National Congress in the federal capital of Brasilia, where they briefly clashed with police.
In other cities, crowds of less than 500 people attended the protests. In Sao Paulo, Brazil’s financial and industrial nerve center, less than 1,000 people attended.
The CTB warns that the legislation could lead to dismissals and the hiring of outsourced workers at lower wages.
The rallies also highlighted support for state-run oil company Petrobras, which is at the center of what federal prosecutors call the biggest corruption scheme ever uncovered in the country’s history.
Prosecutors have reportedly uncovered documents on some USD 800 million in illegal funds such as bribes, kickbacks and price-fixing.
Though nobody has yet been convicted, dozens of political figures and former Petrobras executives are under suspicion over a scheme facilitating corruption and money laundering that saw an estimated USD 3.8 billion creamed off inflated contracts over a decade.
President Dilma Rousseff, who served as the head of Petrobras before taking office in 2010, also faces criticism for failing to act against corruption during her tenure at the oil company and later as the Brazilian president.

Terry Jones, a Florida pastor infamous for burning the Koran, is running for president as an independent candidate. His foreign policy platform focuses on Islam as the greatest threat to the United States’ national security.
In March 2011, Jones sparked outrage around the world when he supervised the burning of a Koran on the grounds of his tiny Florida church, Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, from which he has since split. He repeated the controversial event in April 2012.
This week, the controversial pastor announced he would seek the presidency, telling WWSB that his goal is to speak out and raise awareness for those who are being oppressed.
“I believe most all the politicians are politicians. They’re not telling the American people the truth. I spent 30 years in Europe as a missionary and when I came back to America I was horrified by the conditions of America. Lets say the moral, spiritual, and let’s say the financial conditions,” Jones said.
He believes he can save the country from radical Islam, and promises to reduce the deficit as well.
Jones blames the state of the US economy on President Barack Obama. The pastor was once investigated by the Secret Service after he lynched an effigy of Obama outside of his church.
“I’m pretty devastated by the condition of America, the moral condition, the spiritual condition, the economical [sic] condition,” Jones told Politico, adding that he didn’t have a “game plan” for his campaign and that winning would require “some type of major miracle.”
Samir Khatib, the spokesperson for the Islamic Society of Sarasota and Bradenton, told WWSB the idea of Jones running for president is laughable.
“I think it’s a joke. The American people need to have somebody with more substance and intelligence and knowledge to be a president,” Khatib said. “I think it’s a waste of time, a waste of money and a waste of his effort.”
Foreign policy with some of America’s closest allies could be difficult if Jones were to win the election. He had his anti-Islam signs seized and was denied entry in Canada in October 2012. Germany had also prevented Jones from entering the country for a screening of ‘Innocence of Muslims’ the previous month. Then-British Home Secretary Theresa May banned the pastor from ever stepping foot in the United Kingdom in December 2010, after he had been invited to give a speech there for a right-wing group, England is Ours.
Jones previously vied for the presidency in 2012, but was only formally recognized as a write-in candidate in Indiana.
