5…………> Utopia In the Desert: House Of Saud

Forced to steer its economy away from oil dependence as new technologies have weakened country’s monopoly on the oil markets, Saudi Arabia announced an audacious plan to build a $500 billion super-city that is intended to become a world-class business center, a 10,000-square-mile city — over twice as large as the entire territory of neighboring Qatar — connected with neighboring Egypt via a proposed bridge. It will also touch the border with Jordan, creating a transnational hub.

3…………> A Message Of Peace

Turn of the channel on people who have offended and demeaned the teachings of our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, also known as Rabbi Emmanuel. Walk away, let them dry on the scorching sun. Listen to the sound of Christus Vincit, a message of peace and hope.

4…………> The Ugly Side Of Comrade Un: Gulags
“The brutal and arduous labor, grossly inadequate diet, and lack of medicine lead to a dreadfully large number of deaths in detention,” that’s how a spokesman for an organization observing human rights violations in North Korea described the horrors of the system of re-education camps of Comrade Un’s secret police.

Newly released satellite images offer a never-before-seen glimpse of North’s  “brutal and inhumane” network for political oppression, including secret labor gulags.

5…………> The Battle Of The Cartels: Mexico

Can this year’s spike in Mexican violence be attributed to the absence of former Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín Guzmán? The extradition of one of Mexico’s most famous drug lords in January unleashed an upsurge in violence that is to blame for the soaring murder rate in Baja California Sur this year, with 451 murders recorded in the first nine months of 2017 and this month’s toll has already reached 90, making it the state’s worst on record.

1…………> Opioid Clamp-Down: AG Sessions

 

“More than 20,000 Americans died of synthetic opioid overdoses last year, and millions are addicted to opioids. And yet some medical professionals would rather take advantage of the addicts than try to help them. This Justice Department will not tolerate this. We will hold accountable anyone – from street dealers to corporate executives — who illegally contributes to this nationwide epidemic. And under the leadership of President Trump, we are fully committed to defeating this threat to the American people,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions as the founder and majority owner of Insys Therapeutics Inc., John N. Kapoor, 74, of Phoenix, Ariz., was arrested and charged with leading a nationwide conspiracy to profit by using bribes and fraud to cause the illegal distribution of a Fentanyl spray intended for cancer patients experiencing breakthrough pain.

4…………> The E-cigarette Scam: Hidden Danger

 
“There is confusion about whether e-cigarettes are ‘safer’ than cigarettes because the potential adverse effects of e-cigarettes are only beginning to be studied. Our results suggest that e-cigarettes might be just as bad as cigarettes, like comparing the harm of e-cigarettes with cigarettes is a little like comparing apples to oranges,” said Dr. Mehmet Kesimer, senior study author and associate professor of pathology at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
 

A recent study suggested that E-cigarettes appear to trigger unique immune responses as well as the same ones that cigarettes trigger that can lead to lung disease.
