A HUGE explosion at a ballistic missile testing facility in Russia has killed two people and started a radiation leak.
A further four people are said to have been injured.
The two people that died were civilian specialists while those who were injured were a mix of civilians and military personnel.The military unit where the fire occurred is located in the village of Nenoksa, near Arkhangelsk, where ballistic missiles are tested for the Russian Navy.
The blast at the military training ground near Arkhangelsk was due to a jet engine exploding, the press service of the Ministry of Defence said.
Russian officials initially tried to play down the radiation leak, saying the levels were normal.
A statement from the ministry said: “During testing of a liquid jet engine an explosion and combustion of the product occurred.

4. Pakistan Halts Train Service To India, Bans Films Over Kashmir Change
ISLAMABAD/SRINIGAR, India (Reuters) – Pakistan halted its main train service to India on Thursday and banned Indian films as it exerted diplomatic pressure on New Delhi for revoking the special status of Kashmir, the region at the heart of 70 years of hostility between them.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government this week withdrew Muslim majority Jammu and Kashmir’s right to frame its own laws and allowed people from outside the region to buy property there in a bid to tighten its grip over the contested region.
Kashmir remained under a communications blackout on Thursday with mobile networks and internet services suspended and at least 300 politicians and separatists in detention to prevent protests, according to police, media and political leaders.
Kashmir’s leaders have warned of a backlash and Pakistan, which also lays claims to the Himalayan territory, vowed to fight for the rights of people living there.
“Pakistan is looking at political, diplomatic and legal options,” Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told a news conference in Islamabad, though he ruled out a new military conflict.

6. Facebook loses facial recognition technology appeal, must face class action
(Reuters) – A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected Facebook Inc’s (FB.O) effort to undo a class action lawsuit claiming that it illegally collected and stored biometric data for millions of users without their consent.
The 3-0 decision from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco exposes Facebook to billions of dollars in potential damages to the Illinois users who brought the case.
It came as the social media company faces broad criticism from lawmakers and regulators over its privacy practices. Last month, Facebook agreed to pay a record $5 billion fine to settle a Federal Trade Commission data privacy probe.
“This biometric data is so sensitive that if it is compromised, there is simply no recourse,” Shawn Williams, a lawyer for plaintiffs in the class action, said in an interview. “It’s not like a Social security card or credit card number where you can change the number. You can’t change your face.”
Facebook did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The lawsuit began in 2015, when Illinois users accused Facebook of violating that state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act by using facial recognition technology to collect biometric data.
7. Maryland police shoot a man in his own home for answering to the door at 5:00 am with a pistol.
Republican lawmakers led by Sen. Lindsey Graham and his cohorts are discussing new “red flag” laws to take guns from “unstable” individuals.
Last November a 61-year-old Maryland man was shot dead while police were trying to serve him a “red flag” order.
The local officials said it was a sign the law is needed.
There’s more…
The police arrived at his house at 5 AM.
The old man had a gun in his hand and was shot dead!

8. Killing Free Speech in France, Germany and on the Internet
- In early July, France’s National Assembly adopted a draft bill designed to curtail online hate speech. The draft bill gives social media platforms 24 hours to remove “hateful content” or risk fines of up to 4% percent of their global revenue. The bill has gone to the French Senate and could become law after parliament’s summer recess. If it does, France will be the second country in Europe after Germany to pass a law that directly makes a social media company censor its users on behalf of the state.
- Knowing that a mere Facebook post could end you up in front of a judge in court is very likely to put a decisive damper on anyone’s desire to speak freely.
- If Facebook’s agreement with France is replicated by other European countries, whatever is left of free speech in Europe, especially on the internet, is likely to dry up fast.

7 – I would like to think that this was just poor planing but given the rhetoric of the left over the past couple of years (or in some cases longer) a suspicion lingers that this was the goal of the visit. With the first person dead while (supposedly) trying to shoot cops the need for the Red Flag laws is shown, and the rest of the gun owners have been told what will happen if they resist the theft of their property.
The left has been trying to foment a race/civil/class war for decades, it looks like they think the have enough power to start killing at random.
1- This is the epic sand storm that will envelope the globe. Cyclical predeterminations will dictate an economic and social upheaval similar to events reminicent of 1960 onward. Within 2-1/2 years from now we will witness a severe economic downturn that will be driven by the reconciliation of debt. Overly indebted private individuals, corporations, and governments will go bankrupt. Unemployment will increase. This will exacerbate social and political strife. There will be a deflationary spiral. Central banks will react by by injecting liquidity. This will end in an inversion of classes. Precious metal holders will emerge as the nouveau-riche. Paper holders will languish. The Redgreen alliance, while maybe not broken, will require subsidies other than Western government welfare.
Things are going to get interesting. With luck the crash won’t come until after the 2020 elections. If the Dems are in control they will make the deflationary cycle much worse, just like they did in the 30s.
2 – While there is a chance, possibly even a good chance of a short shooting war between the US and Russia, or China possibly both I doubt either will try nuking us and unless someone uses a Weapon of mass destruction on the US we won’t use nukes.
