Spinant added that reports about a male official working at the European Defence Agency contracting the virus were true, and that he had recently returned from a trip to Italy.

Bernie surrogate locks horns with Maddow over alleged report that Democrats are plotting against Vermont senator Activist and Bernie Sanders supporter Shaun King has sparred with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, after claiming she reported that the DNC is angling to prevent the socialist senator from winning the Democratic nomination. King tweeted out to his more than 1 million followers that Maddow had disclosed that “senior officials” within the Democratic Party were pressuring billionaire-turned-presidential-candidate Michael Bloomberg to drop out so that “Biden would have an easier time against Bernie.” He made the provocative accusations that the Democrats were in fact “interfering with the primaries to stop” Sanders. The claim sent shockwaves through t...

‘Border is shut’: Greek troops fire warning shots to stop migrants from Turkey

Uncategorized

‘Border is shut’: Greek troops fire warning shots to stop migrants from Turkey Greek riot police and troops used a water cannon and tear gas on Wednesday against hundreds of migrants, as they made another attempt to cross the border from Turkey into Greece. Plumes of black smoke drifted above the Kastanies border crossing, and a fire engine reportedly raced by in order to put out the smoldering blazes. Greek soldiers also fired warning shots into the air, Reuters said. A Greek army vehicle equipped with loudspeakers informed the migrants in Arabic and other languages that the border is shut. More than 10,000 migrants have been trying to breach the border since Turkey said last Thursday it would no longer abide by a 2016 deal with the EU to halt illegal migration flows to Europe ...

India & Pakistan officially becoming nuclear powers would spell 'disaster' for non-proliferation treaty – Moscow

Uncategorized

India & Pakistan officially becoming nuclear powers would spell 'disaster' for non-proliferation treaty – Moscow Extending the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty on the entire world is generally a good idea, but an official recognition of India and Pakistan as nuclear powers is not – their accession to the pact would ruin it, Moscow warned. "The fact that Pakistan, India and Israel – according to some estimates – possess nuclear weapons does not indeed help strengthen the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty [NPT]," Vladimir Yermakov, head of the Russian foreign ministry's arms control and non-proliferation department, told media on Wednesday. At any rate, pushing India and Pakistan – two nuclear-armed neighbors and foes – towards joining the 1968 pact ...

Scientists believe new theory may finally shed light on DARK MATTER

Uncategorized

Scientists believe new theory may finally shed light on DARK MATTER The universe has more mass than we can account for. A lot more. One of the greatest mysteries that has eluded scientists for decades is where all this mass comes from. One brand new theory suggests we may have cracked the case. We can only tell all this mass (which makes up the majority of the universe) is there by observing its gravitational effects on objects around it, for which we use the stand-in term 'dark matter.' Now physicists think they have identified one potential culprit that might explain the mysterious bending of light around stars and other massive objects, as well as the rotation of entire galactic discs, both at a higher rate than we can account for. As always, they...

Texas, California prefer socialism to capitalism, Sanders to Biden, new poll says

Uncategorized

Texas, California prefer socialism to capitalism, Sanders to Biden, new poll says Democratic voters in America’s two most populous states have indicated they actually prefer socialism to capitalism in a new poll that also showed Bernie Sanders taking over Joe Biden ahead of crucial vote. The latest poll conducted by YouGov on behalf of the CBS says that more than half of Democratic voters in California and Texas – two states with the biggest population that also award the most delegates for the primaries – harbor “positive view” of socialism. Support for the traditional foundation of the US economy was particularly weak in Texas, where only 37 percent said they saw it as a preferred option. Not surprisingly, most of them also plan to give their vot...

Unfadable courage: Putin, Shoigu commemorate paratroopers who heroically died in battle against extremists two decades ago Twenty years after heroic but vastly outnumbered Pskov paratroopers bravely battled jihadist forces in the Russian republic of Chechnya, President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu have honored the fallen. “Today… we commemorate the brave paratroopers, pay honors to their courage and their heroic deed,” Putin said as he reviewed the troops of the Pskov Airborne Division. He and Shoigu arrived in the northwestern Russian city of Pskov, the hometown of Russia’s oldest and most elite airborne division, to lay flowers at a memorial for those who fell in Russia’s second anti-terrorism campaign in the early 2000s.
