Brooklyn: Mob of black men and women ransacks local shops during "funeral protests" after friend pulls gun on police, and is subsequently shot
Police were on alert in Brooklyn Tuesday night following violence stemming from a deadly officer-involved shooting, as crowds gathered again to protest for a second night in a row.
As CBS 2’s Dick Brennan reported, the crowd was largely peaceful. But there was pushing and shoving and shouting as police arrested one man Tuesday night.
The crowd then marched down Church Avenue in East Flatbush, to the 67th Precinct. They expressed themselves with loud, profanity-laced chants denouncing police practices, 1010 WINS’ Sonia Rincon reported.

Report: 3 Killer Commando Dolphins From Ukraine On The Loose
Three elite Ukrainian commandos have gone AWOL.
The dolphins are highly trained, intelligent, and can strike anywhere.
Ukrainian media reported earlier this month that three military trained dolphins didn’t return to their base in the Crimean port of Sevastopol. The dolphins were reported to be out during a training exercise.
These particular dolphins are trained in the use of special knives and firearms to kill enemy divers. They are also adept in the use of explosives to sink enemy ships.
It’s unknown if the three missing dolphins had such equipment on them when they went missing, but it is believed that they are out seeking mates.
The Ukrainian dolphin program has its roots in the Soviet era. During the cold war, the U.S.S.R. trained the dolphins to attack enemies and detect underwater mines.

Controversial scientists claim they have found 'extra-terrestrial fossils in meteor fragment'
A paper by an international team of scientists, their second on the subject, makes the extraordinary claim that electron microscope images of the rocks have revealed tiny fossilised life forms from outer space.
The authors are convinced that their findings offer firm evidence of panspermia, the hypothesis that life exists throughout the Universe and is spread by meteoroids, asteroids and planetoids.

U.S. Army veteran Eric Harroun joins al Qaeda-linked group after months of fighting with rebel forces in Syria
Eric Harroun, 30, of Phoenix, has joined al Qaeda-linked group Jabhat al-Nusra in part because of his fascination with the conflict in the Middle East.
His story will undoubtedly infuriate the hundreds of thousands of service men and women who have risked their lives on the battlefields fighting al Qaeda, only to learn that he never actually served overseas for the United States, and has picked up disability pay for years before going over to fight for the terrorist-backed organization.
'Getting into al-Nusra is not rocket science,' he said. 'It just takes balls and brains.'

Anti-German anger 'could lead to a war': EU chief warns currency crisis has exposed 'chilling' parallels with WWI
One of Europe’s most prominent statesmen has warned that resentment of Germany across the continent is so high that war remained a danger.
Jean Claude Juncker, a long-time president of the European Council, painted an ominous portrait of Europe, claiming there ‘chilling’ parallels in 2013 with 100 years ago – the eve of the First World War.
He said the eurozone crisis had exposed long-standing tensions between countries.
Mr Juncker, 58, who is also prime minister of Luxembourg, stopped short of saying that war was on the horizon but warned: ‘The demons haven’t been banished; they are merely sleeping.’
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2291672/The-demons-sleeping-Luxembourg-PM-paints-chilling-portrait-Europe-draws-parallels-build-WW1.html
It has nothing to do with a resentment towards Germany, but a resentment towards what is being done to the people. The parallels have been there for all to see and still the EU and our own governments continue on this path of destruction.
We have seen an increase in hate crimes, protests, police brutality, democratic failures, rise in fanatical groups.
People didn't start following Hitler because they respected him, they voted for him because they saw no other choice!
One in four Germans would vote for party which promised to quit the euro, poll reveals as anti-establishment spirit grows across EU
poll conducted by TNS-Emnid for the weekly Focus magazine showed 26 per cent of Germans would consider backing a party that wanted to take Germany out of the euro and as many as four in 10 Germans in the 40-49 age bracket would do so.

Analysis: ECB, global recovery behind markets' mercy on Italy
Italy's election produced the hung parliament investors said was the worst possible outcome, recession is deepening, debt is rising and its credit rating has just been downgraded.
So why do markets seem largely unconcerned?
Italy's benchmark borrowing costs have edged up to around 4.6 percent from 4.5 before the election and the gap between safer German Bunds has risen to 3.1 percentage points from around 2.9 points.
That is a negligible reaction to economic sickness and political gridlock in the euro zone's third largest economy. The crippling bond yields above 7 percent at the height of the euro zone debt crisis in November 2011 remain a distant memory.

China says willing to discuss cyber security with the U.S.
China offered on Tuesday to talk with the United States about cyber security amid an escalating war of words between the two sides on computer hacking, but suspicion is as deep in Beijing as it is in Washington about the accusations and counter-accusations.
The world's two leading economies have been squaring off for months over the issue of cyber attacks, each accusing the other of hacking into sensitive government and corporate websites.

North Korean troops on ‘maximum alert’ for a potential war while South promises to hit back hard
Kim Jong Un told artillery troops stationed near disputed waters that have seen several bloody clashes in past years that “war can break out right now,” according to a report by North Korean state media.
It may only be a matter of time before North Korea launches a sudden, deadly attack on the South. And perhaps more unsettling, Seoul has vowed that this time, it will respond with an even stronger blow.

EU's 'green' petrol will drive up prices by the end of the year and could damage your car
Millions of drivers have been warned about higher fuel costs and even engine damage if they use a new ‘green’ petrol.
Britain has signed up to an EU directive which says suppliers must dilute petrol with environmentally-friendly alternatives such as ethanol made from corn.
The new petrol is called E10 and is 10 per cent ethanol. It is due to be launched in the UK later this year, alongside standard petrol and other green fuels.

"The scary part of this one is that it's something we didn't even know about," Patrick Paolucci, president of Slooh Space Camera, said during a webcast featuring live images of the asteroid from a telescope in the Canary Islands.

Savile Report: Police Failed Abuse Victims...What has Changed?
Police forces across Britain have been criticised for ignoring Jimmy Savile's abuse victims, as it emerged the disgraced presenter's offences dated as far back as 1955.
The earliest record uncovered by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) naming Savile in connection with a sexual abuse investigation is dated 1964, but officers failed to act on the intelligence received.
But a damning report by the Metropolitan Police and the NSPCC said Savile's offending spanned from 1955 to 2009, meaning his reign of abuse could have been cut short by 45 years.
