New Militant Antifa Wing Gets Seriously Organized, Calls for Revolution and Releases List of Goals

(BizPac Review) – An armed Antifa group is fundraising to support the building o a new cell in Philadelphia.

And the alt-left media is helping it by publishing its press release calling for “abolitionism and revolutionary anarchism” to “decisively eradicate the abhorrence of 21st century slavery.”

What is 21st century slavery?

According to the group’s website, it is the prison system. The group, known as the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement (RAM) intends to use some of its funds raised to create an “underground railroad” to help people “escape the state.”

In other words they intend to use an underground railroad to help criminals escape because the group believes that “the Civil War was never resolved and the system of slavery transitioned into the prison industrial complex.”

RAM sees the police as the enemy and praises Black Panther Mumia Abu Jamal who, in 1981, murdered police officer Daniel Faulkner.

It also cites fellow cop killer Russell Maroon Shoatz, as a part of “Philadelphia’s rich...

Haley Warns World: Mattis Will "Take Care" Of North Korea If Diplomacy Fails

During an appearance CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley admitted something that most of the international community – perhaps including Kim Jong Un himself – has known for weeks: The United Nations Security Council has just about reached the limit of its ability to economically punish North Korea.

Responding to a question by CNN’s Dana Bash about whether President Donald Trump’s famous “fire and fury” remark was an empty threat, Haley insisted that the US has held back out of a sense of “responsibility.” But now that diplomatic solutions appear to be dwindling, she would be “perfectly happy” handing the situation off to Defense Secretary James Mattis, the source of some of the US’s harshest rhetoric against North Korea. Mattis, Haley said, would “take care of it.”

“What we’re doing is being responsible where North Korea is being irresponsible and reckless. We were being responsible by trying to use every diplomatic possibility that we could possibly do. We’ve pretty much exhausted all the things that we could do at the Security Council at this point.”
“I said yesterday I’m perfectly happy kicking this over to General Mattis because he has plenty of military options. So, I think that the fire and fury - while he said this is what we can do to North Korea - we want to be responsible and go through all diplomatic means to get their attention first. If that doesn’t work, General Mattis will take care of it.”

The Strangest Sights Cassini Saw: Postcards From Saturn





Planet Saturn, observed by the Cassini probe on August 31, 2017.

Thank You Cassini, And Farewell..

After 20 years in space and 13 years on the job as a scientific instrument orbiting Saturn, Cassini, the probe sent to explore the ringed planet and its moons, was retired at 7:55a.m. EST on Friday, September 15. But just before its final moments, before being torn apart by Saturn’s atmosphere, Cassini once more did what it had been doing for two decades: it sent us some phenomenal photographs.

Before its final plunge into Saturn’s atmosphere, Cassini had executed roughly four months of final orbits between the planet and its rings–something that had never been done before–and also took goodbye photographs of Saturn, Titan, and Enceladus, among others. The image gallery below has a few more of our favorites.

NASA decided to end Cassini’s mission by sending the probe into Saturn’s atmosphere because there was a fear of contaminating the planet’s moons. The thinking was that microbes from Earth may have stowed away on board while Cassini was being built here on Earth, and because Cassini’s insides are warm from its radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG), it’s possible those microbes could still be alive and could taint worlds that may already have life. Crashing Cassini wouldn’t necessarily kill the microbes, and the RTG could even help the probe to melt through surface ice into an underground water ocean.

We know that Titan and Enceladus have underground water oceans beneath their thick shells of ice because Cassini discovered them. Cassini was also responsible for discovering six named moons, generating nearly four thousand scientific papers, and taking roughly 453,000 photographs of celestial objects. Including this very last one (below) of Saturn itself, just before the atmosphere pulverized the probe, ending the 13 year long dance with a flash of eternal embrace. (When Cassini exploded, there was a flash, but no fire because Saturn’s atmosphere doesn’t have oxygen.)

Images that are just as potent as the ones from space are the ones from Cassini’s mission team as they watched the final moments of the probe’s life. It’s hard to imagine a mission working more perfectly than this one, which is probably a big reason it’s so hard to say goodbye.
