VLADIMIR Putin has allegedly ordered execution squads to kill his own men if they try to desert his Ukraine invasion. The Russian tyrant expected a swift quick victory when he ordered the invasion nearly a month ago - but his forces have faced fierce resistance from Ukrainian troops. In a brutal revival of Stalin's tactics, Ukrainian security services have reportedly been told by Russian prisoners that troops are followed by execution squads. There have also been reports of Chechen special forces being sent in to stop Russian soldiers fleeing the war, according to the Daily Mail. Since the start of...

Mad Vlad, whose forces are bombing women and children in Ukraine, spared no expense on the six-deck Scheherazade. Vladimir Putin's superyacht Scheherazade’s official cost could be close to $1billion A worker who helped build it said: “Every surface is marble or gold. There are countless swimming pools, a spa, a sauna, a theatre, ballrooms, a gym, two helipads. It’s like a mini city. “And it is an unimaginable amount of wealth when the average Russian’s salary is £5,000 a year, and people there are struggling to eat.” A tiled dancefloor lowers to turn into a pool. It is thought to...

THE West must "prepare for the worst" as conflict with Russia looms, the Defence Secretary gravely warned tonight. Russia has told the US to back off over mounting tensions with Ukraine or "endanger not only its own security but that of Europe" as World War Three fears mount. And in his darkest intervention yet as tensions rise in Eastern Europe, Ben Wallace vowed that Britain would "stand up to bullies" amid fears of a Russian invasion into Ukraine. Mr Wallace said distance should "not deter Britain" from seeking to "defend those who cannot defend themselves" as the West confronts Russia...

Most of the Western world has transferred its manufacturing sectors to China. Every single day, Chinese container ships ply the world's oceans, fanning out to every continent except, maybe, for Antarctica. We've long known that those ships are carrying cheap goods and the West's economic destruction, but The Sun is contending that those same ships are likely to be disguised missile launchers.Here's the main part of the story, although you should visit The Sun to read the whole thing:CHINA has been secretly developing Trojan Horse-style missiles hidden in shipping containers that can be unleashed on enemy ports, experts warn.Military analysts...

Give the Murdochs credit for knowing how to make a splashy debut. Their UK-based tabloid The Sun launched its US version today, called The US Sun, and keeps its tabloid sensibilities intact with an exposé of Bill Clinton’s journey on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet. No one alleges that specific improprieties took place on the 2002 flight, and in fact their key source describes Clinton as “a great guy.” However, anytime you’re explaining your photo ops with Ghislaine Maxwell and an Epstein victim, you’re losing: BILL Clinton poses side-by-side with suspected pimp Ghislaine Maxwell – as the pair board pedophile...

Scientists now believe the earth is in for a big freeze due to the sun being totally void of sunspots for more than half of 2018. The sun has been completely free of sunspots for a total of 133 days this year, scientists are reporting.

FULL TITLE: TRUMP'S BREXIT BLAST I told May how to do Brexit but she wrecked it — the US trade deal is off, says Donald Trump In a world-exclusive interview with The Sun, the US President said Theresa May had ignored his advice by opting for a soft Brexit strategy DONALD Trump today accuses the PM of wrecking Brexit — and warns she may have killed off any chance of a vital US trade deal. The US President delivers his incendiary verdict on her negotiating strategy in a world exclusive interview with The Sun. In an extraordinary intervention timed to...

The recently published Lund University solar research lends support to the research of Russian scientist Habibullo Abdussamatov, the head of the prestigious Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in St. Petersburg. Abdussamatov has compiled scientific data supporting the theory “sun heats earth,” refuting global warming theorists that insist greenhouse gases are the culprit in a phenomenon of anthropomorphic global warming

TODAY The Sun is publishing the naked Prince Harry party pictures our readers have been prevented from seeing in print. We are doing so despite warnings from the Royal Family’s lawyers — and we’ll explain why. ... We are publishing the photos because we think Sun readers have a right to see them.

Rupert Murdoch is used to slipping into Downing Street by the back door for discreet meetings with prime ministers, but there was no such privacy on Wednesday when he faced a grilling about his political influence in the full glare of the world's media. … Questioned under oath at a judicial inquiry prompted by revelations of endemic phone-hacking at his News of the World tabloid, which he shut down last July, Murdoch gave a confident performance in which he amiably played down the power he holds. If his enemies had hoped to see him squirm under the forensic questioning of...

If the sun was a human, I would say it has a much better press agent than CO2, or that someone in the Sun's family was paying hush money to cover up its role in global warming. Why else would the Church of Global Warming Moonbats ignore all the evidence that changes in the Sun that are creating the fluctuations in global temperatures here on earth. * Retired Award Winning NASA Atmospheric Scientist Dr. William W. Vaughan, recipient of the NASA Exceptional Service Medal, a former Division Chief of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and author of more than 100...

Our boys welcomed homeTHOUSANDS of people lined the streets of two cities today to welcome home soldiers from Iraq. The 2nd Battalion of the Royal Welsh were given a heroes’ reception as they paraded through the centre of Cardiff after returning from the gruelling Operation Telic 10, their third tour of Iraq in four years. And soldiers from 4th Battalion The Rifles marched through the centre of Salisbury following their recent return from a six-month tour in Iraq. While based at Basra Palace prior to the handover to local control at the start of September, 4 Rifles saw some of...

From southeastern Wisconsin to as far as Des Moines, Iowa and St. Louis, people reported seeing balls of fire, possibly meteors, streaking across the sky Sunday night.MILWAUKEE — From southeastern Wisconsin to as far as Des Moines, Iowa and St. Louis, people reported seeing balls of fire, possibly meteors, streaking across the sky last night. No major meteor showers were expected in the northern hemisphere on Sunday night, said Jim Lattis, director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison astronomy department's Space Place. But he said it was possible that a minor shower may have been what prompted calls to authorities. The...

It’s hard to understand the silence that has fallen on the investigation into the terrorism scare triggered by the anthrax attacks shortly after 9/11. I’m not at all a conspiracy buff, but this case is just filled with coincidences that have caused much speculation that the anthrax letters were a follow-up terrorist attack carried out by Islamic terrorists tied to the 19 Muslims directly involved in 9/11. There is no new public information I know of, however,

There was a time when patriotism prevailed over political "correctness" in the media. During World War II, Americans sang a song about releasing flatulence in Hitler's face ("Der Fuehrer's Face," the title song of an Academy Award-winning Walt Disney cartoon). Now, the media tout the showing of Saddam Hussein in his underwear as a disgrace and downplay the horror of beheadings. The latter view spews from the mouths and pens of the socialists in our country (many commonly referred to as liberal Democrats) who are trying to render the United States impotent by promoting global pacifism ... the same ones...

AUSTRALIA... ENGLAND.. NOW USA... NEWSCORP Lord Rupert Murdoch can now claim the top spots in the media industry. The 20th Century Fox, Murdoch, 74, has become 21st Century Daddy. On Wednesday night the TV season ends with an IDOL bang and FOX finishing #1 -- for the first time -- in the ad demo, 18-49, and #1 in teens. At the box-office Murdoch takes #1 by distributing REVENGE OF THE SITH. In the heated cable news race, FOXNEWS [despite faulty Internet rumors] continues to dominate all dayparts, all demos, all ratings, and has all but caught CNN in ad revenues....

The Sun, a British tabloid that published pictures of imprisoned, former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in his underwear may have missed something more intriguing than Saddam's BVDs. While the `Butcher of Baghdad’ has long been a stone around the neck of his own people, it is ironic to consider that sorcerers say he wears one of their stones around his own neck. One of his palace-seers-for-rent purportedly made for Saddam, a special talisman to keep the Grim Reaper at bay. Some say it’s a magic stone worn like a necklace. Others contend he had it implanted under the skin on...

There is an old clinical anecdote, probably apocryphal, that teachers in medical school sometimes use to illustrate the compelling power of delusions to medical students. It goes something like this: A young, inexperienced psychiatric resident, in the course of interviewing a patient, discovered that the patient suffered from the delusion that he, the patient, was dead. The young psychiatrist then proceeded to try gently and tactfully to reason with the patient to see the reality and give up his delusion. The psychiatrist tried everything he could think of to dissuade the patient but still, after twenty or thirty minutes, the...

Britain's Sun tabloid published another picture on Saturday of Saddam Hussein in prison and robustly defended its decision to print such images despite Pentagon claims it may have violated the Geneva Conventions. Britain's best-selling daily newspaper sparked outrage from Saddam's lawyers on Friday by publishing several photographs of the captive former Iraqi leader, including one showing him in his underpants. U.S. officials promised an aggressive investigation into who was responsible for the photographs, which they believe were taken more than a year ago. They said the images violated Pentagon rules and may have breached the Geneva Conventions. But an unrepentant...

Bush: Photos won't incite in Iraq AP May 20, 2005. US and British tabloid photographs Friday of an imprisoned Saddam Hussein naked except for his white underwear prompted a US military and condemnation from the Red Cross. The International Committee for the Red Cross, which is responsible for monitoring prisoners of war and detainees, said the photographs violated Saddam's right to privacy. "Taking and using photographs of him is clearly forbidden," ICRC Middle East spokeswoman Dorothea Krimitsas said. US forces are obliged to "preserve the privacy of the detainee." Some Iraqis said the publication was the latest in a series...
