30 Year-Old Soviet Missile Defense Destroys 70% Of Trump’s ‘Nice, New, Smart!’ Missiles

By Mark Boden: The controversial American/English/French coalitions missile strikes in Syria last night have resulted in minimal damage to the Syrian army.
According to Russian and Syrian media, Out of the 103 Tomahawk Missiles utilized by coalition forces against the Syrian army targets, 71 were successfully deflected by the Syrian army using outdated 30 year old Soviet era anti aircraft systems.
The state media reported that three Syrians were injured by the strikes, with no military personnel killed. The Dumeir military airfield, one of the coalition targets, emerged completely unharmed.
It seems this entire attack appears to have been a hollow show of force as the Syrians have emerged unscathed.
Here’s the report from Russian TV News with English subs. Full transcript below:

Then They Came For The Poets

StudioBrule: Poetry readings used to be spaces of erotic energy in which the poets on the stage, the purveyors of beautiful words, had power, and we in the audience wanted to bask in the glow. Now that’s all forbidden.

Holy And Unholy

Max and Stacy discuss the striking divergence since the late 1990s in the prime age labor market participation between the U.S. and its major OECD competitors, the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany. They ponder some of the reasons why U.S. labor market participation could be declining so rapidly. In the second half, Max interviews Craig Hemke of TFMetalsReport.com about JP Morgan’s silver turnaround - going from having a massive short position on the precious metal to accumulating one of the largest stockpiles of it in the world in a few short years.

How Israel Postponed WW3 - Inadvertently - D'oh!

By Gilad Atzmon: If you have just 60 seconds watch this brief video.

In 2014 Jewish Sky owner and media mogul Rupert Murdoch won the ADL Award. The honour was clearly awarded  for a reason. On occasion, Sky changes itself into a state propaganda service. The video above shows such an event . Sky crudely cut off the former commander of the British Armed Forces, Jonathan Shaw, as soon as he went ‘off script’ by suggesting that the Syrian regime couldn’t have been behind the Douma gas attack. General Shaw attempted to point out that chemical warfare is a desperate act, not something you would expect from the Assad regime that has basically won.

The Case That Could End Ritual Male Infant Genital Mutilation 'Circumcision' In The UK”

'Society is hypocritical on equality.'

By Niall McCrae: A woman from Nottingham, England is suing the doctor who carried out a circumcision on her infant son without her permission. The circumcision took place during Eid festival when the infant was in the care of his biological father, a Muslim. After the operation, the child was in so much pain, he was unable to wear a nappy.
There is a stark contrast between female and male genital excision: the former is illegal, the other is permitted. There are mythical differences, too: one is seen as barbaric, the other as somehow beneficial.
I have actively contributed to the campaign to eradicate female genital mutilation (FGM), which varies in severity from the abhorrent radical destruction of outer genitalia (type I) to the most common, mildest form of clitoral excision (type IV). All types are forbidden, although not a single person has been convicted for this crime in Britain, despite estimates of 2.1% of females in London having been cut. At least girls are protected in law, if not always in practice.
Shearing off parts of genital organs is no less unethical or abusive because the child is male. Yet the political and professional establishments don’t want to know.

Russia Has "Irrefutable Evidence" That The United Kingdom Staged Syrian Chemical Attack

By Tyler Durden: As the blame game over the alleged chemical attack in Syria escalates ahead of what is expected to be an imminent, if contained, air strike campaign by the US, UK and/or France against Syria, on Friday morning, Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow had "irrefutable evidence" that the attack - which allegedly killed more than 40 people in an April 7 chemical weapons strike on the former rebel outpost of Douma  -was staged with the help of a foreign secret service.
"We have irrefutable evidence that this was another staged event, and that the secret services of a certain state that is now at the forefront of a Russophobic campaign was involved in this staged event," he said during a press conference according to AFP.
Speculation that said "certain state" was the UK was confirmed shortly after, when Russia's defense ministry alleged that Britain was involved in the suspected chemical attack. According to defense ministry spokesman, Major General Igor Konashenkov, the Kremlin has evidence that Britain was behind the attack.
Quoted by Reuters, he said: "We have... evidence that proves Britain was directly involved in organising this provocation."
