Kathy Niakan: Scientist makes case to edit embryos
A scientist has been making her case to be the first in the UK to be allowed to genetically modify human embryos. Dr Kathy Niakan said the experiments would provide a deeper understanding of the earliest moments of human life and could reduce miscarriages. The regulator, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), will consider her application on Thursday.

Canadians Panic As Food Prices Soar On Collapsing Currency
As regular readers are no doubt acutely aware, Canada is struggling through a dramatic economic adjustment, especially in Alberta, the heart of the country’s oil patch. Amid the ongoing crude carnage the province has seen soaring property crime, rising food bank usage and, sadly, elevated suicide rates, as Albertans struggle to comprehend how things up north could have gone south (so to speak) so quickly.

Police State: No to Protection, Yes to Suppression
The United States Supreme Court has ruled a number of times that law enforcement cannot protect you. They are there to take a report after a crime is committed. Reality suggests that the police are unable to protect you without compromising your freedom as an individual. To “anticipate” crime and arrest based on a condition of anticipation, before any crime is actually committed, would be to dwell in the realm of Orwellian government where thought crime reigns. Nonetheless, pre-crime suppression has been trying to rear its ugly head, through crime assessment technology, and hate-speech laws.

SOTU: Obama Ignores San Bernardino, Singles Out Muslim as Victims
Although the biggest terror attack in America since 9/11 happened less than two months ago, because they are as eager to engage in the cover-up as President Obama, the DC Media is not at all interested in pointing out the fact, or pressing the White House on the question of why Obama failed to mention the San Bernardino terror attack during his State of the Union address. He did, however, absurdly single out Muslims as victims of American discrimination:

Obama administration to expand number of refugees admitted to U.S.
In a speech at the National Defense University, Kerry said the expansion of the Refugee Admissions Program will be directed toward people from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, to “offer them a safe and legal alternative to the dangerous journey many are currently tempted to begin, making them easy prey for human smugglers who have no interest but their own profits.”

Why BDS can’t win
If the aim of BDS was to ruin Israel economically, the nail in their coffin came with the official announcement that Israel’s debt burden fell to below 65% in 2015.
